I came in on Saturday April 8 for a touch up with Vanessa. I was under the impression that I was going to see Vanessa (with the shears tattoo) that day but when I arrived I was informed she no longer works here and that my appointment had been booked with a different Vanessa. I was disappointed because I had been seeing Vanessa (with the tattoo) and she does a really good job but I decided to give this other Vanessa a chance anyway. I thought everything had gone well until I got home and really checked out my hair. I found so many huge patches of grey hairs!!! There is no way that the stylist could have missed all those patches when she was blow drying my hair. I am so disappointed with the lack of integrity and honesty. I can't believe she did not say anything or that she accepted my tip knowing that she hadn't done her job properly. I came back to show her my hair and she told me to come back next saturday so she could fix it but honestly I feel so disrespected by her and I do not feel like I could trust her to do my hair again so I do not think I will be coming here again. read more

This hair salon is absolutely amazing. Everyone is beyond friendly yet professional. Brianna is the best! I've never allowed anyone to color my hair until I started getting my hair cut by her and saw her excellent color work. She has always been up to date with the latest trends and knows what works for each person. I love that Brianna always makes sure I'm completely satisfy with my hair before I leave, shows she really cares. I highly recommend coming in to see Brianna whether it's a cut or color, you'll never be disappointed. read more

What an amazing salon! I'm so happy my friend referred me to this place. 1st of all the girls are pretty wonderful. They make every effort possible to make you feel comfortable and welcome. They did an up-do for me and my two daughters. They did an incredible job. We also got our makeup done as well since we had a special engagement on Saturday. We received compliments all day on our hair and makeup. I drove down from San Diego and am trying to figure out how I can get my color and highlights done on a normal day! Lol... It is a newer salon so they are still trying to work out their street signage, but you wouldn't know it from being inside the salon. All their stylists have been doing this for years and their results are fabulous. I will definitely be back. read more

Veronica always goes beyond my expectations. I always get compliments on anything she does to my hair.

I love this place! Getting my hair done by Brianna always leaves me feeling beautiful and confident. She understands exactly what I want (even if I'm ill prepared, without pictures) and throws in her own creative flair, delivering beyond my expectations. The ambiance is really chill, friendly, accommodating and there's a good variety of music playing to enjoy while they're busy making you look cute. The prices are very reasonable and most importantly WORTH IT, since all the staff is very customer orientated and professional. Side note for the men: My bro has had his hair cut by a few different stylist at Salon 1971 and he's always been happy with the results. THANK YOU Salon 1971 and ***Brianna***, for making me feel and look great, and for all the compliments I always receive after visiting you guys :) read more

Came in after my mani/pedi next door and started asking Brianna a dozen questions. I'm not a girly girl so I had no idea what to do with my hair except that I needed something done on a budget. After talking through a few choices we went with adding in some toner to my brassy hair and a trim. She was sweet and talkative without being over the top. My hair feels super healthy. I got your number girl, will call for another appointment. Thank you! read more

I live in Riverside and drive out to this salon and the one prior that Vannesa G. works her magic at. I have been having my hair cut, dyed and styled by Vannesa for approximately 8 years now.

I never leave disappointed and recommend Vannesa to anyone who is searching for someone to trust your mane with. Wether local or if you are willing to drive you will not regret it. She is well worth it. read more

I had being going to another salon since I was a child, but when the person that cut my hair left I needed to find a new place and person to cut my hair.

They take care of you and pamper you at a very reasonable price. I would recommend anyone to go here and give this place a try. My wife recently went to Salon 1971 to see Steph too and I bet you will see a review from her too. read more

Went here because my friend suggested it. It is a little pricey (for what I'm use to since I don't really take care of my hair) but it was well worth it!! Very did an amazing job not only cutting and styling my hair but talking me thorough on how to maintain it. She told what products she was using and how to properly use the curling iron ( I mean I comb my hair but I'm not detail oriented) she was friendly and attentive. I will definitely return and maybe try something new! read more
