    Makayla was amazing! She did everything I asked and made my hair so beautiful. I've never felt more confident with the hair that I have now thank you so much, Makayla. I couldn't recommend her enough! Oh and, The salon is so beautiful too!!

    What I wanted to get done. All over blonde with a root smudge and brown tips.

    Stylist Makayla completely ruined my hair and I was refused a refund from the owner. Paid $360 for highlights I never asked for, left with streaky brown and blonde stripes throughout my hair when I wanted all over blonde. Took 6 hours and now if I want to go get my hair fixed by a reputable stylist I will have to pay more and it'll be a huge pain because the artist will have to painstakingly pick out the brown streaks and only bleach those. Also got the most horrible hack job of a haircut. Even after extensive back and forth with owner, she wouldn't give me back a dime. Horrible place, zero integrity. DO NOT come here, you'll be gambling a lot of money. Will post what I wanted vs what I got.

    I started coming to the salon in the beginning of 2024 and absolutely loved the vibe from everyone here! Ryan is my hairstylist and absolutely nails my hair every single time! She exceeds my expectations every appointment and I leave happier than ever with my hair. I get so many compliments and recommend this salon to anyone that asks! Great service and an amazing team working there!!! Go to salon Esby to get your hair done and ask for ryan!

    What a Godsend this place is. I'm new to East County and I have already been to another stylist out here who chopped my very long thick hair into a layered mullet when I asked for "long" layers. I've been growing my hair ever since and was super nervous and traumatized to cut it again but I knew it needed something. I booked a "haircut" with Savannah (the owner) and let me just say her consultation was top tier. She asked me what I wanted and I asked her if I needed to refresh my already botched layers (nervous about having to cut off all my hard work of grow out) bc I like the long mermaid hair look and didn't want to have to start all over, and she said no. She gave it to me straight. She told me exactly what needed to be done to save my long hair and I respect her so much for that. She could have easily not taken the time with me and just chop away at my hair bc I thought that would make it blend better. Instead, she pointed out that my layers were cut too far back into my hair from the previous lady and she didn't want to do more damage by cutting into them and to just let them continue to grow out so she can fix them later or my hair can just be one pretty length. She DRY CUTS which I love bc she can actually see what's being taken off instead of chopping away. She literally took an inch off the very bottom so it won't be split when it continues to grow. After a trim, wash, and style it was def refreshed and I still had my long hair that's taken forever to grow. I could seriously cry

    This is the before maybe I'm crazy but I see no.... Difference

Casey was such a sweet treasure of a soul. She took the time to get to know me, my needs, my personal preference and she listened without judgment!! I have been struggling with hair loss for many years and I also have thin gray hair! I brought my own shampoo and conditioner, Casey was so respectful and fairly knowledgeable about the challenges of gray hair and hair loss. I really appreciated how open she was when I shared that I preferred non-toxic, products without harmful chemicals. She even inquired about the products I brought. She took really good care of my hair. She was really easy to talk to. I left loving my haircut!! This was the first time a stylist didn't go to town trying to "layer" my hair to give me volume. I will definitely be back to see Casey!!

Tyler was friendly and easy to talk to and I explained I had a work event that night and I was hoping he could style it so it would last for that. He sprayed every curl thoroughly and the curls held all night. I have been to several other salons over the years and was honestly shocked the whole thing was only $55. In this economy???? It was a steal and Tyler was lovely. Definitely will go back.

Because…read morethis is a spot that many hairdressers utilize independently, there is no central booking option. Not Vagaro, not on the website, and not by phone. I sent an email and also called. I was able to get a receptionist on the phone but because she was new was unable to assist. I was directed to contact the individual hairdressers via Instagram. This required me to follow their page before I could message them. Really, really inefficient. In the meantime, I was able to locate another salon and hairdresser via Vagaro and book an appointment. These professionals may be great, but having an easy way to book will get more clients. In this day and age, the instantaneous booking is the bar and this place doesn't meet it. It is a hurdle/challenge to just get an appointment. I am sure these people are nice and are probably good at what they do.

I made the mistake of going here and ended up paying three times the amount of money to have my hair color corrected after Sam turned it a red orange color when I told him beforehand that my only fear was ending up with red/orange hair. He assured me it would not. Not only that but the haircut was totally uneven and way shorter than I wanted. It had to be recut to even it all out. This can be devastating for a haircut that is already extremely short. Now I have to wear a scarf or a hat until my hair gets longer. Probably around six months. The worst experience of my life. I thought because he had great reviews he must be pretty good but after my hair was ruined I looked further for more reviews. If you look hard enough and deep enough you will find all of the terrible reviews. For some reason people are able to hide these which is a bad thing for people like myself that look for reviews before going to a new salon. I dont understand how he could have so many 5 stars reviews after what he did to my hair. Are they really all real reviews? Seriously, this is so deceiving and it's unfair to people that rely on honest reviews to decide where to go for hair needs. Sam is a very nice man until it comes time to take responsibility for ruining your hair. Then he's not so nice.

My hair had become brassy and I just wanted to add low lights and some dimension. I showed many, many photos to make it clear what I wanted. Unfortunately, the final result was drastically different from what I requested. Much of the interior and underside of my hair was colored a very dark brunette tone, creating a flat, heavy appearance rather than the dimensional look shown in the photos we reviewed. The ends of my hair look completely black, nothing like the photos I showed. The issue wasn't that my hair became darker overall. I expected more depth and lowlights. The issue was that much of the brightness and dimension was lost, particularly underneath, leaving large sections of the hair looking like one solid dark color. To Cynthia's credit, she did offer to adjust the color by adding highlights and ultimately provided a full refund when I explained that I was no longer comfortable proceeding with additional processing since my first request was so misunderstood and poorly executed. While I appreciate her efforts to make things right afterward, the final result did not reflect the look we spent significant time discussing beforehand. I'm honestly still devastated.
