Carlyn is a professional hair colorist. My hair was previously bleached and tuned orange and then dyed brown and turned red. I was mortified. Spent $800 at another salon and still orange, uneven color, and VERY brassy. Came into the salon for a consultation and scheduled an appointment. This was more than a color correction for me. This was a transformation. Walked out with a balayage highlight. I believe she used three toners to correct the brassiness. It worked! I have had my hair colored nearly my entire life and this is by far the best color I've ever had. Bring in a picture of want you and she will absolutely match it. Very talented color artist. For the level of her skill, she could charge far more than the salon does. So happy! Thanks girlie! Sam read more

Haircut and style by Brent. Really the best ever. The true test of a great haircut is a few days later. After washing, applying leave-in serum and texturizing spray, I loved my hair! No blow drying or curling iron, just air dried. Salon is chill, clean and welcoming. I was a bit nervous coming in but will come back relaxed and happy to have the best haircut. Again. Thank you Brent. read more

I had been following Brent on Instagram for quite a while before I was able to get my haircut with him, as I live in Chicago. The entire experience was great! What you see in the videos is really what happens during your consultation. Brent listens to you, and he also is very straight if he thinks something you have in mind for your cut won't work with your hair type, etc. Even though I just scheduled a haircut, he made some recommendations on my color as well, and used a temporary rinse to add dimension to my blonde. The salon has a hip vibe, but it is also welcoming. They play excellent music, have good coffee, and assistant Jess gave me a great shampoo service. Hope I can get back soon! read more

Sagebrush Salon - Tunes, seating, Brent. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

I recommend Relentless Barbers over by the airport. It's a nice space and when I walked in there were two women who were so friendly and attentive. I asked if they could trim my long layered hair and one said "sure, come on in!" She did a great job and only charged me $50. 10/2020 Brent is obviously very skilled at cutting hair. He cut mine exactly they way I wanted it. Studio has a lovely ambiance too, and friendly people. I'd recommend it! Update 4/2022 I've been seeing Brent for cuts about 2 years now. I only cut my hair every 6 months. I have long layered hair and I am very specific about how I want it to look. I did a good amount of research before deciding on Sagebrush. When I first scheduled this salon online they asked me what I would expect to pay for a haircut, and because I wanted the best possible experience and this being a high-end salon in El Paseo, I said $100. That is exactly what Brent charged me every time except the last. I was not told in advance that prices went up and when my cut was done, perfectly as usual, he charged me $170. I was shocked! Not only was I not warned in advance, but I can't justify paying $170 for a haircut. Its not even a fancy cut. It's basically just a trim!I'm not a wealthy person but even if I was I wouldn't be willing to pay that much for a haircut. I was completely blindsided by the owner of the salon. I should have been informed that he raised his fees by 70% right? Has this happened to anyone else? Needless to say I won't be going back. I'm sorry to have to say this. Apparently they have moved out of the expensive neighborhood and into their new location. I wonder if they charged me so much to help cover their costs of making the move? I have no idea why because explanation was given. They stayed in business during the pandemic and I was told that business was still pretty steady so I don't think they were desperate to recoup lost income due to that. Bottom line is that what was done to me is not a good or ethical business practice. If they are doing this kind of thing on a regular basis I don't see how they will retain good clients. I guess they must have enough wealthy clientele to be able to get away with it. read more

Let me start by saying I am the worlds biggest critic and if I wasn't constantly consumed with being a mom and getting distracted at home, I would be constantly reviewing every place I ever went on here. However, I am taking time to write this review because I recently moved to Palm Desert from Orange County and freaked out when I had to find new places to go to. ESPECIALLY my hair. I have always been the client that no one wants because I am so picky about everything, cut, color, tone, placement you name it. So finding a hair salon I've never been to, never heard of, not recommended my a friend but found only from Yelp was a HUGE deal to me. I noticed there weren't many posts and reviews and was nervous, but the work spoke for itself so I definitely felt that I should go and I'm THRILLED I did. It's the cutest salon, located in El Paseo (not a busy loud environment or a hotel like I was finding in my search), it is a quiet, relaxing salon where Carlyn is the colorist and her husband Brent (who is a Master stylist) cuts the hair. They are so talented and so sweet it's refreshing. They know what they are doing and have been in the industry for over 15 years and have been so successful they opened their own location together. I usually do not go to hairstylists who aren't in bigger salons, but it's different when you're so good you can own your own. They are picky and diligent in every aspect of their trade. From the level of classes they take to the hours of training that is so impressive and matters to me when stylists continue learning. Lastly, they try and accommodate everyone and their schedules even though they are busy. I appreciate that, because being home with my kids and husband at work, my times and days are limited and they have always squeezed me in. I did ask about the reviews and they said they never ask anyone to do it or want to make people feel that they have to, which is even MORE the reason I wanted to write this for them. I absolutely loved how my hair has turned out and felt that it was EXACTLY what I asked for and not a "version" of it. The expertise of Carlyn's balayage, highlighting and her certification in Habit hand tied extensions is INCREDIBLE. Brent knows what he's doing with cuts and doesn't want you walking away freaking out and isn't into pushing his style on anyone, he just knows shape and has an eye for this stuff, I fully trusted him and couldn't have been more pleased with the shape of my hair and how he still cleaned up all my dead ends but leaving my hair looking full and long which is EVERYTHING to me. Can't say enough good things about Brent and Carlyn or this salon and the level of work you'll get from them. Your hair is a big deal and I don't take it lightly, so I'm beyond grateful for them. Parking is easy, location is wonderful and the salon products to vibe is relaxing and chill. Whether you're a part-time resident, visitor who feels spontaneous or a new full-time resident like myself, you won't be disappointed leaving here!! read more

The BEST! What a great, great experience... Carlyn, Brent and Jessica made my month! It has been about a month since they re-worked my hair... After they were done, I felt like I was on extreme make-over, hair edition. They knocked it out of the park! As cheesy as that sounds... it is so true. I tell everyone I meet that I highly recommend them... for extensions, highlights and cuts. Honestly, I've never really liked my hair... they have changed that for me. Can't wait to go back! Thank you... I appreciate everything you all put into my hair. I'm not going anywhere else! read more

Best blonde I've ever had! Been here 3 times and each time my results are consistently 5 stars. Val is so talented! It is a pleasure to be in her chair and her work is patient and precise. The studio is darling. Cute, clean, smells like Joshua Tree candles! Bubbly water offered, and great products used for the whole process. Easy to schedule & love the El Paseo proximity of the location. Parking is seamless. I moved to the desert from LA and had high expectations for the care and vibe that goes into a hair salon space. I feel so lucky to have landed a spot that I love being inside of, is convenient, and delivers great work and experience. Well deserving of a 5 star review. Thank you Sagebrush! Thank you Val! See you again soon :) read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I have never gotten a worst hair cut in my life, it has actually started to effect my emotional and mental wellness. I can barely look at myself in the mirror and am having to wear hats everywhere I go, if I go anywhere at all because I am so embarrassed. I just moved to the area, and decided to give this place a shot, and was absolutely impressed when I walked into the place. It was beautifully decorated and the staff were very nice. The guy who cut my hair, sat me down and we began to talk about ideas for my hair. I initially wanted to cut it short, as I am a new mother and have a four month old daughter and needed something super low maintenance. I also wanted more volume and a slimming look. He showed me an idea he had, which were curtain bangs and said it's not much of a commitment. So I assumed that meant, a center parted long sexy whispey curtain bang, that was not at all a full bang whatsoever. He then asked if he could take a before and after , I said ok. He then began to cut, and i started to get pretty nervous when he went in to cut the bang and my layers. I whole heartedly in the moment felt like a bowl cut was being cut, and when he went in for the bangs he cut a lot of bangs. I was again, nervous because I hate bangs, but wanted to let him style it. He then styled me, and the haircut looked so impractical and ridiculous in the end. I am a 33 year old mother, and am a client facing pr professional, not some 21 year old emo scenester girl or something. The cut didn't match my lifestyle or me whatsoever. He didn't listen to my wishes at all, he did what he wanted to do in order to achieve the look he wanted for his "after" shot. So fast forward to coming home, I had a complete panic attack when I noticed the bangs he did cut are completely uneven. He didn't even cut the bangs right! I have attached pictures of just how uneven they are... I had long beautiful hair that I spend three or so years growing, and he completely ruined it. He butchered me. I barely leave the house because I am so embarrassed, it is actually affecting my quality of living. I would do anything to feel good again... I want to spare people the misery my life has become and I am enduring right now, and write this review warning people not to go here and to find somewhere else. He not only gave me a cut I didn't want, he cut it wrong! read more

Got my haircut with Brent and all I can say is ... I am in love. I had a recent cut at another salon and I was so sad and so unhappy.

You are the best! read more

Found this gem from my friend. I booked my appointment after the first lock down during Covid. Then got rescheduled due to the state lockdown again and finally got my appointment. And let me tell you it was worth the wait!!!! I am obsessed with my hair. Carlyn and Brent are amazing. They made me feel very welcome. I did a root touch up and Bayalage. Carlyn took out my old brassy color from previous stylist and it turned out so beautifully. The team they have works together, is so nice to see, and Val was sweet and willing to help assist in any way. I love my hair and can't wait to go back! I've got compliments all day on it. They all wear masks and are very diligent with cleaning. Thank you for making my hair the best it's looked all year read more

Sagebrush Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

Moving back to the valley I was searching for a good stylists who I could trust. After several weeks of looking around I came across Sage Brush, looked at their pics and reviews. The number one thing that caught my attention and what made me trust them, was their ability to do fun colors. I used to have green hair so I though to myself "if they have mastered those colors, I'm sure they'll be awesome at more 'natural' colors". My hair consultation went great and they booked me right away, the next week. The WHOLE experience was more than what I was expecting. 3 people worked on my hair and gave me their whole time and patience. I highly recommend this salon. We even had a little photoshoot at the end haha They gained a loyal customer read more

Great salon! Brent is a fab stylist and Carli a fab colorist. I'm totally happy with my cut and color and Val gives a great head massage! Nice space too, they've got it all. I highly recommend. read more

I have extremely thin and fragile hair, well at least that's how I've always felt, so I've always been drawn to extensions for volume. I've tried clip ons, halo extensions, (which I liked), but I wanted something a little more permanent. I tried tape-in extensions in the past at a different salon and didn't have the best experience. But after talking with Carlyn, she assured me that it was the best choice for my hair. I trusted her. Best decision ever. My hair looks and feels amazing after every application. If you like low maintenance and long-lasting beautiful hair this is definitely the perfect option for you. Plus, Carlyn is so sweet and confident and you can tell she loves what she does. Having this hair makes me feel the most confident I've ever felt. Thanks to her! Also her assistant Val is very talented and genuine and always makes you feel comfortable. If you're looking for a hair salon this is definitely the place to choose. Between Carlyn, Brent, and Val they can do it all! Highly recommend!! read more

Sagebrush Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

Carlyn and Brent are the real deal magic stylist team. I live in LA and came to Sagebrush today with a good feeling about the salon. I was blown away by their work! The salon is hip and has a great energy. As stylists, they are both extremely talented. Carlyn and Brent redid 8 months of my 'quarantine hair' and I absolutely love their work. Thank you again! So happy and can't wait to return. read more

New to area. Sagebrush salon was recommended. Friendly group of people . Went from a long Bob to long pixie. Brent the owner cut my hair. Left feeling and looking fabulous. Diffently recommend. read more

It's a specific cut, style, and vibe I felt this salon provides for the community. Do your research, the cuts and styles are fun and timeless for the right texture of hair. I found my cut/style to be more maintenance then I was able to re-create at home. My initial experience was awesome but found it to be less and less each time I returned, being in the service industry these experiences are noticed. I know color and cut are the most important when it comes to finding your salon but service also makes you want to return. read more

I absolutely LOVE Sagebrush! I am so glad to have found this place. I haven't liked my hair since my hair stylist quit doing hair (about 6 years ago) and I finally love my hair again. Carlyn is so professional, kind and talented, she really listens to what you are looking for regarding color and does a near perfect job of doing exactly what you envisioned. Brent is amazing at cuts which makes the two of them quite the duo. In fact, every person who works for them seem to be great at what they do, they are all very talented, professional and kind. The cost(s) for the service(s) are extremely affordable (in my opinion) as I'd be willing to pay much more to get this kind of quality service. I feel so blessed to have found them and am finally happy with my hair again. Thanks for being amazing sagebrush studios! read more

If you live in the coachella valley or passing by I highly recommend Sagebrush! Valeria is the sweetest, she has been doing my hair for 8 years now and she has come such a long way thanks to all the knowledge and skills her bosses, Brent & Carlyn, have taught her in the 5 years she has been working with them! I recently was very Interested In hair extensions and Val knew how to deliver! She was so confident in the way she was applying the hand tie extensions! She did such beautiful work. I love my hair!!! read more

Love love love going to see Carlyn and Brent. They always do such a great job on the cut and the color. A good blonde job is hard to find but I never worry when booking an appointment here. Oh and Val is just the sweetest!! read more

I have been seeing Brent & Carlyn for over a year now and I must say, I am extremely happy with their quality of service. Carlyn is a Master with Color and really listens to what I have in mind each time I see her. Brent is so precise with his hair cuts and blow drys, I love it! The Salon is really clean and the decor is very boho chic, always welcoming and I leave happy every time! read more

I complained about your attitude and the terrible haircut Brent gave me and apparently others. You roped me in to having him cut my hair and it was awful. No...who would do it again? I am not picking on you I am telling only the TRUTH. Sagebrush Salon never even called to cancel my appt. and when I reached out to Carlyn SHE WAS RUDE. As for my services I paid you $175 a month to as you say, ONLY TOUCH UP MY ROOTS. To some that is a car pmt. to touch up roots that took you 20 minutes. I love my new stylist and she would never try to guilt me into having her husband poorly cut my hair. read more

Just had my haircut with Brent, he is meticulously detailed, I get compliments daily on my new cut and I truly trusted him throughout the entire process. I highly recommend! read more

No words to describe how amazing these two, Brent and Carlyn are. I have been going to them for several years. I trust both so much. Carlyn is dynamic on color technique and extensions and Brent is always educating himself on the latest style with cuts. Val, their awesome assistant is so sweet and gives the best hair shampoo and conditioning treatment I highly recommend Sage Brush Studios. read more

What a great experience! I recently moved to the desert and was nervous about finding a new hair team (color & cut) and my time at Sagebrush was delightful. Since we've been in the pandemic I've used boxed color twice and I thought it would be difficult to fix but Carlyn was unfazed and gave me a great base color with highlights. Then Brent took over and gave me a new style that's relaxed and fun, just like the desert. Everyone was wearing masks and social distancing and I felt so comfortable. It was nice to be pampered after so long in lockdown. Book a consultation appointment before the work is done so you can discuss what you want. read more

Carlyn is a wonderful colorist and I love their new hair salon; however, I had a bad experience with Brent styling my hair. I have a lot of hair and it's thick. I know blow drying it and making it look smooth takes a while but it's been done. I felt Brent rushed through my hair and did not care when I told him I did not like the way he was curling my hair, his response: "oh you've never seen that before?" No. And bottom line is I didn't like the way he was curling it (also I was not paying for my hair to be curled, I asked for a blow dry). After a short time he said he was done. The end product was my hair looking frizzy and untamed. I would love for Carlyn to color my hair again but may not return, due to, the stylist and his poor attitude. They did not charge me for the styling which was not my intention AT ALL. However, I am glad I didn't have to pay for something I was very unhappy about. read more

This hair salon is fabulous! After hearing about it from 2 different friends, I went for a consultation with Carlyn to try to correct my disastrous hair colour. I've now been there quite a few times, have had a "dusting" with Brent and several colour appointments with Carlyn. I love them both and have recommended them to many friends in the desert. They truly care about seeing their clients leave happy! I wish I could pop them on a plane and take them with me when I return to Canada! They are exceptionally talented. read more

At first I really liked my hair I did think it was a little too ashy blonde after the toner (I didn't want ashy) and now that I'm at home I see my old color tones in some places of my hair. For $255 I expected more. And I spent 5 hours there. I've never spent that long at any salon. They are super kind and professional. And the salon is pretty. read more

Brent is amazing! Love what he did with my hair! Strongly recommend him!

I went to the salon for the first time for a haircut with Brent. During the consultation I was criticized for not making a consultation appointment first. (I was not told that when making the appointment.) I have had issues with hair loss and after discussing what I would like and what Brent thought could work he showed me a picture of how he was going to proceed. It was nothing like we discussed. I questioned it. He became very rude and told me that was what he was prepared to do and did not appreciate me questioning it. I am 71 yrs old and have never been treated like this by a hairdresser. Brent is very rude and arrogant. I left the studio prepared to spend $100 where I will be listened to and spoken to in a compassionate and decent manner. So much for a consultation. read more
