Ester is amazing! I haven't done my hair in almost a year. She did a very thorough job with the highlights and she turned my boring Asian hair into the kind of hair I'm proud of! She also put good quality products in my hair that I ended up buying. My hair kept getting tangled and wasn't smooth, but now it's shiny and soft. She also cut my hair and layered it. I love the results. I'll be a returning customer. Also, here are a few things: 1) new customers get 20% off their first visit. I was happily surprised when I found that out. 2) you get a stamp card that if you get 10 stamps, you get a free haircut or deep treatment.

Look good, feel good, do good! You need to live by this motto in life, and Esther at Salon 520 Beauty Lab achieves this truth in life through the most important part of the motto, making you look good! Weddings, weddings are full of beautiful people who need to look good for photos, and being wedding season, I needed someone I could trust with my hair, and that person has over 16 years of experience, Esther. From the beginning, I was greeted and taken care of, and I immediately knew I was in good hands. I have asian and caucasian hair, so it is difficult to find someone who understands the nuances of how my hair behaves and grows. Before we got started, I got a shampoo wash, this was a nice touch. Throughout the haircut, she told me how my hair behaves, this is something that most hair dressers fail to see until they get half way through and realize my hair is different, but Esther knew how to cut it. The attention to detail and making sure that I was comfortable throughout the haircut added to the haircut and experience. Lastly, I got another shampoo wash and style suggestions with styling wax, this came in handy for the wedding and everyday wear. Good haircuts mean so much more to me, they are like a good cup of coffee for the week, if I don't have one, I won't be able to function and do good work, full circle to our motto of feeling good and doing good, live it! Book an appointment with Esther and get over here!

Final look

I found Salon 520 on Google. I read all the reviews, starting with the lowest reviews. I decided to give this place a try. I haven't had my hair cut in over a year and I usually start hacking at my own hair because of the bad experiences that I have had and I figure I could do just as bad as a hairstylist and have only myself to blame. Anyway, I had Nicole as my stylist. Nicole is wonderful! I wanted a deep conditioning treatment and a hair cut. The deep conditioning made my hair feel super soft. When it came to the haircut, Nicole did a fantastic job. Most often people cut off way more than I want but Nicole cut off less than what I thought would have to come off. The cut is very nice and exactly what I wanted A blunt, straight cut with some face framing. Nicole wasn't rushing or telling me what I wanted. I scheduled for a color next week. I trust this stylist. You can't always let the bad reviews cloud your judgement. Every business has bad reviews as everyone has bad days. I highly recommend this salon. Nice atmosphere. They even offer you something to drink. Give this place a try. I recommend Nicole!

So I moved here around last year, and I haven't been able to find a good enough salon to cut my hair. I'm SUPER glad that I took the courage to call in and ask if Esther could do my hair. Right from the moment I walked in she was super sweet and friendly! She consulted with me about the length I should cut my hair, because I actually wanted a bob, but she said I should safely cut it a little longer just in case. GOOD DECISION! I am IN LOVE with my hair and everyone who saw my new hair was also loving it. I just have to say go to Esther! She's amazing and WILL take care of you :) You can tell she really cares about her clients! First timers get 20% (I think till the end of December)!! Which is really cool! Also, the studio is soon going to have a red curtain backdrop for a little photo session!! How fab is that?! Go to Salon 520 Beauty Lab and you will not regret it!!

I came in for a much needed haircut and Esther did an amazing job! The salon was very clean and seemed pretty sanitized, which is extremely important in the midst of COVID-19. Esther was gentle with my hair and gave me the long length layers that I asked for. Overall, my first visit to Salon 520 was satisfactory and I will be back for future haircuts.

LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!! & then come back and read this review. I asked for balayage. Blonde balayage but we don't even need to worry about the color issues because the dye job in general is so shit. I started with dark brown hair. I asked for blonde balayage to give my hair a little step up before I start at a new school and meet a bunch of people. You know when you see hairdressers or any other service providers assessing their job, realizing OH NO they screwed up and then they try to tell you very enthusiastically how good it looks? That's what happened. I asked for a color job that would look good with my natural hair but also straightened. DAY 1- (cheetah shirt) I knew the dye job was shit but I paid anyways amidst tears because I felt bad. She did her best right? And the color of my hair, the ORANGE color of my hair was my fault? Not to mention the blonde in the very top is not even supposed to be there. There's giant chunks on one side like it's 2002 and then super thin streaks on the other. it is not blended AT ALL. CHUNKY AF. NO SHAPE. JUST BLOCK OF BLONDE, BLOCK OF DARK. NO BLEND. I googled bad balayage and pictures similar to my hair popped up. It should NOT look like this all over. It looks like I asked my 6 year old sister to take a bottle of bleach to my head bc I thought I could do balayage on my own. IT'S ORANGE!!!! HOW CAN YOU EVEN SAY THAT IT LOOKS EVEN OKAY? I'm embarrassed to leave my house or even be seen by my family members. My dad is also pissed bc it cost so much money and looks like total shit. Next day- (purple tshirt) I want it fixed (not further balayage bc it's clear that's not happening at this salon unless Esther does it from what I've heard) back to plain brown or something less fugly AND I want at least a partial refund because this is not a $170 job. And that's what I ended up with. She still tried to say it looked good. It looked better and good. It was fixed. So I got up mid blow dry because I was about to cry and spoke to Esther and received a partial refund. That's where the one star is coming from. They were kind but also still trying to sell me on this SUPER SHITTY hair color job. To be fair, all the reviews on here were for Esther. But if a hair stylist can not achieve (EVEN CLOSE) to the picture they show you, they should communicate that and be honest and have some freaking integrity and discuss options. Not shoot for the best and then try to sell off shit work as good work. Maybe my stylist was blind, idk. But anyone who thinks that hair looks good and professionally done is a wackadoodle. Here's to me deciding whether I should have my 2007 Britney moment or what my partial refund of wasted fucking time can get me from Sally's. Thank god I have experience dyeing my own hair. Edited a day later removing all the anger-fueled F-bombs.

This is my hair now.

I asked for my hair to be refreshed. I had brown hair with some caramel highlights and just asked for my hair to be a little more blended and some blonde balayage to be added. I have attached a picture of the hair I asked for below and what I have now. My hair was in great condition, and now after my first shower and a hair mask, my hair is frizzy and burnt. I am not happy with what I was given and can not understand how I asked for brown hair and received bleach blonde. I will not be going back to this salon.

Okay I first have to say, I'm sorry for not putting up a review sooner, Please Mel forgive me!!!!…read moreNot only is Melissa the best Lasher in town she most likely is the best lash artist in the Western Hemisphere! Over the past six years of getting My lashes done on a scheduled regular Basis, she has grown to not only be the best artist but also a professional educator and influencer in the art of Lashing! So lucky to not only call on her to make me beautiful, but to also call her a friend! She is a sincere and honest artist, that takes extreme pride in her work and clients extensions, and is so careful with the natural lash base. Truly a gorgeous studio, a calm and relaxing setting and the careful attention to detail at every single appointment is unparalleled!!

I've been going to Melissa for almost 7 years now and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my lashes but her. She is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about her clients. What I love about this lash studio is how clean and glamorous it is & the comfortable bed you get to lay on while she goes to work on your fills. Melissa goes out of her way and tries her best to squeeze you in for last minute appointments, she cares about the health of your natural lashes and also very well educated mentor for the soon-to-be young lash technicians.

It…read morewas the first time in years I had departed from my normal routine and expert to try a different place. I loved that I could make an appointment online, with weekend appointments. It was on the east side, so that was a big win for me. I did have to pay a deposit for the appointment, I am guessing that is due to people no-showing. I walked in feeling very welcome as they had my name on a little board in front. The studio itself is really lovely and elegant looking. I will say up front they continue to take COVID protocols seriously which is very smart, and I did have to wear my mask the entire time which was totally fine. I was there about two hours for a fill. The young lady who took care of me was very professional and nice. It was clear she really took her profession seriously and was very informative about good lash care. She did a really nice job. My only negative was some light commentary on my current lashes and some criticism of that work. I know absolutely the quality of the lash care I have been getting for many years and it rubbed me the wrong way. I received a thank you email, phone call AND card post the appointment which I thought was an incredible touch. While I am absolutely loyal to my gal who owns her own salon and has been doing a beautiful job with me for 5+ years, I would definitely come here if I was in the market for a new permanent home for my lashes.
