Mariah Z.

Went in with what stylists call long "virgin" hair and my stylist seemed a little hesitant on touching. I walked out with this for $180. Looks like she just put splashes of dye which surprises me because I was there for 5 hours. I'm not the person that will ask for a refund but will definitely say I'm never coming back. Went to Ulta 2 weeks later and received the results given for $150! I've also attached the one from Ulta and I really don't have to tell you which one is better because the pictures speak for themselves. Salon Capistrano is not the place to get a balayage.

6 weeks since last color and cut.

I've finally found a hairdresser who listens! I switched to Salon Capistrano first for facials with Paula (excellent!), and discovered Lalani G for my hair. She is fantastic, and gradually turned me into a confident blonde. She listened to my concerns about this big step, and successfully has been keeping my hair perfect for several years. I get compliments all the time and my hair is healthy and low maintenance. Thank you Lalani! Brandy does my mani-pedis, she's so clean and a pro. Salon Capistrano is my one stop beauty salon. This pix is today, after 6 weeks!

I was very disappointed with my experience with Kim!…read more During my consultation, I clearly explained that I wanted more dimension in my hair and specifically wanted to move toward a brunette look with only a few subtle blonde highlights. My goal was to avoid becoming significantly blonder. Unfortunately, the final result was the opposite of what I had requested, and my hair ended up much blonder than I wanted. What was particularly concerning was that when I expressed my desire for a brunette look with minimal highlights, Kim responded that it would be "disgusting." I found that comment unprofessional and unnecessarily harsh. Clients should feel heard and respected, even when a stylist has a different professional opinion. To her credit, she did attempt to correct the color by adding lowlights. However, the lowlights did not appear to take, and I was told there was something wrong with my hair rather than being given a clear explanation or solution. I understand that color services can be complex and that results may vary, but I left feeling that my preferences were not fully respected and that the outcome did not reflect the look I had specifically requested. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I would not return and cannot recommend the salon based on my visit. I hope this feedback helps future clients and encourages better communication between stylists and their customers.

She was very helpful helping me choose what to do after I showed her a couple pictures of things I liked. She did a wonderful job and I love my nails! Everyone there was super friendly and it was such an enjoyable experience. They also offer complimentary drinks when you arrive and to my surprise they had my favorite mini soda, cherry coke. So that was a great plus! I will definitely be going back.

Clearly I was confused man! But on this day I was by the beach in zen felt like continuing my peace.. ended up here (20mins from home) accidentally returned on a Sunday but there was a car show obvi very busy time to come. Came the next day letting them know my struggle if I could please get my nails fixed. They asked me to come back when the manager was there, I waited outside. Came back and she said it was too busy (almost empty) but it's ok can I just take my money and go somewhere else. She refused (just crazy I waited for this.. thinking they would have better customer service honestly that's why I waited. Instead she didn't take any responsibility, cared-less about making me wait.. wanted me to wait some more and refused to give me a refund) I was saddened by the lack of empathy when I called this lady 'humble' only days before. Forced to take half (not including my tip) it felt like pity money. But I have pity for the ones who don't care about customer satisfaction. What is the point of your shop if you only see people as money and not happiness, that is why they get their nails did anyway. It's a luxury. Had to go to the nail salon up the street BELLA and they left my nails 100x better. It's already been over 8 hrs. Can't say that about this sloppy shop. Oh yeah it was the 'manager' Tracy, don't let her near your nailsss. Girl has NO idea SHE LOLOLOVEEE TO ARGUE If I could give it a zero I def would. Product & customer service FOR SURE 99 cent store. I had a nail break as I opened the door can't make this up "Ultimately out of eMpAtHy and GoOd gEsTuRe we gave u 50% refund" AS YOU SHOULD HELLOOO As a manager it's quite embarrassing you shouldn't touch nailsss and stop wasting people's time. You are lucky to have a business and if you woulda fixed it in that moment or gave me a FULL refund you'd have a better comment. Not sure why you chose to sabotage your own reputation. GIRL THINK AGAIN

Luckily, I was just looking for a place open on Sunday that could trim my (already ugly) finger and toe nails... Juliette did a perfect job - I shared all the bad reviews and horrific pictures, which generated a lot of conversation that I couldn't quite follow. NET NET: If you are just looking for a trim, you should consider Lily Nails - especially if it's on Sunday. I walked in without an appointment and paid $25 for a trim - hold the blood. I'd likely consider returning as I got just what I wanted.

Very disappointed with my experience. I came in for a pedicure and was told there was no hot water…read more I explained that I wasn't comfortable having a pedicure with cold water and politely asked if they could offer a discount given the circumstances. I understand the water issue may not have been their fault, but the response I received was unnecessarily aggressive. I was made to feel as though I was wrong for expressing my discomfort and asking a reasonable question. I understand they could decline the discount, but I expected a more professional and respectful response. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled left a very negative impression, and I won't be returning.

I've been going to George Portillo since 2016, and at this point I'm convinced there's some actual…read moremagic involved. My hair is the longest and healthiest it has ever been, and that is absolutely because of George's skill, product guidance, and the way he approaches hair with both artistry and science. He's an educator at heart and is always up to date on the latest techniques, trends, products, and color science. He somehow manages to create the perfect blonde for my complexion every single time -- bright and dimensional without sacrificing the health of my hair. And his haircuts deserve their own mention because I genuinely do not understand how he does it: I leave with freshly cut hair that somehow looks LONGER. Explain that one. He's also an educator for EasyPro Hair Extensions, so if you've been dreaming about longer or fuller hair, you're in very capable hands. I personally haven't needed extensions, but I would trust George completely if I ever decided to go that route. Another thing I really appreciate: his timing is precise. Appointments are efficient without ever feeling rushed, which is a rare and beautiful thing. If you want someone who understands blonde, understands hair health, stays on top of his craft, and will actually teach you how to take care of your hair between appointments, book with George. There's a reason I've trusted him with my hair for a decade.
