    Highlights, curtain bangs, layer haircut and blowout. I love it!!!

    If you want to color your hair or do natural-looking highlights I would recommend seeing Helene. She has an amazing eye for color and her skills are like no other. Every time she does my hair, I feel brand-new again. She's so gifted and talented. She does a fantastic job with layering my hair, touching up highlights, styling, and outstanding blowout. My hair feels light as a feather, shiny, healthy and revived. I'm so thankful and truly lucky to have found such an amazing hair stylist to tame my naturally curly frizzy hair. Anyhow, I cannot praise this place enough. Helene can beautify anyone that comes her way.

    I had an amazing experience with Brooke! I have very thick naturally curly hair and not everyone is able to cut and style my hair the way I like! Brooke did an amazing job in half the time it usually takes others to cut and style. I am extremely satisfied with my curly cut and I would recommend Brooke 100% and it helps that we laughed the entire time I was there. She is a rockstar!

    I've found my place! Didn't even realize how many services they have here. Today I went for a facial. Sylvia is Hungarian ( just like my facialist in LA) and she has an amazing touch. You feel nurtured and nourished, and I didn't have an allergic reaction to her wonderful-smelling creams. After steaming my pores open, she massaged my face, deep cleansed it, and rubbed in those wonderful creams. She also waxed my eyebrows. Sylvia is very experienced and has a delightful personality. She is full of information. It was a great experience and I will be back!

    Love my cut and style!

    Mary B did a great job on my hair! She accommodated me last minute, greeted me with her friendly demeanor and took great care of me. I've been getting all kinds of compliments! I'm definitely coming back for her root touch up service (budget and schedule friendly!!) And any other cut/color services I need in the future!

    Worst Haircut Ever

    "Hair By Mary" by Stylist Mary Brodie (760) 846-6600. She presently has a station at Salon Helene, located at 6949 El Camino Real in Carlsbad. Worst haircut experience EVER!!! I asked for a Shag style haircut frame around my face. I also asked if she had experience with this cut. She was very confident. I was surprised when she was done. I stated that I liked it to be framed around my face. I combed it myself and explained how I like it to fall. She stated that she used a-lot of styling product in my hair. I than noticed that she switched to her thinning shears. Usually not good results on my baby fine texture hair. I immediately asked again to comb it myself. My hair was just not laying/falling correctly at all. I even tried shaking it. I saw Mary getting frustrated and she said something like ..??.. She would have cut it differently but it's what I wanted. What?? She was very hesitant to do anything else. Now very nervous! I figured that after I wash the styling products out & blow dry it myself it would be ok. Wrong! I called and texted Mary leaving her many messages. I asked her to see if a stylist in her salon could fix my hair ASAP for I was leaving the following day for a family reunion & my son's graduation. I did not receive a return call or text from Mary. Very unprofessional. I requested a refund. With much difficulty finding a stylist on the spot I did find a wonderful stylists to recut my hair. She felt so sorry for me she didn't charge me for her services. After weeks and still no follow up from Mary I decided to write this review. Please see the pic of myself with this type of haircut - shag cut & framed around my face. Please see the pictures of me in the blue top with Mary's haircut. Mary's cutting skills were so terrible even when cutting the length. The length on the one side is much shorter in length than the other.

    Final results beautiful haircut by MD!!

My country send me to U-S-and-A to become educate great American alcohol novelists F. Scotts Fitzgerald and Ernie Hemingways. HIGH FIVE! Today I go to village bars to learn drinking American alcohols just like F. Scotts and Ernie Hemingways. I walk in beauty bar name "Sweat Cheeks". At first I am so confuse -- no smell of ox urines, no knife-fight with ugly named Igor, and worst of all... no horse beer tastes like Chernobyl! In my country, beauty bar is place belching mens with fermented-yak-milk cologne smoke beer and drink cigarette. Sometimes marry cousin by accident. Happiness Hour Cocktail is 2 vodkas in same cup. Always Lynyrd Skynyrd jukebox. Next to neon Baywatch pinballs machine. THIS American beauty bar is a place to give skincares, massage, and waxings?!? WAWAWEWA!! I call wife who was reading fairy tale to childrens where all characters execute. She say I need this kind of beauty bar because my skin folds like accordion and I smell like sister after wedding night. Here... woman without mustache use a steam machine... just like secret-police interrogation... and scrub face like it's floor of bus station. Make my face tight, like young goat. Very niice! At home we only clean face with toes-of-camel, potato yogurt, and grandmother bathwater. Next she rips hair from jungle of national forest. I scream like first-time chicken at plucking festival! Lucky she didn't removed Soviet microchip. At end give me sample of lotion made from gypsy tears. Now I look glowing like traditional disco ball in funeral tent {*gives two thumbs up*}! If you want be soft like sheep-after-winter-shave, smooth for romance, and not smelling like a cabbage... come to American beauty bar! Though you may lose dignity, gain rash, and sober like priest on Tuesday... maybe... if lucky... you receive free sample lotion. Greatest country in world! Pro tip: Sweet Cheeks is a hidden gem of a day spa and retail boutique. Came here for wife's birthday and haven't stopped returning! We've had consistently great treatment(s) at a fair price. The skincare line they use is Eminence of which I have received many sample lotions. HIGH FIVE!

    I was a regular client and initially happy with Destinie's services. But after asking a simple,…read morerespectful question about discounted pricing for a treatment series of facial peels, I received a surprisingly personal and unprofessional response that included assumptions about my character and suggestions I look elsewhere. I've always paid the full price that she asked for her services and referred others, but was treated as if I was trying to take advantage. Supporting a small business shouldn't mean accepting guilt trips or disrespect about buying expensive things from her when theyre available for cheaper outside. Asking if a tailored treatment exists without unnecessary add-ons for myself is not equivalent to asking for a "discount". Its called valuing whats most important and cutting the fluff. I was pressured to leave a tip many many times despite the service not deserving of it. I never took the liberty to start insulting the business owner due to the frustration. So if repeatedly asking for tips isnt considered an insult to the client, how come a client asking for a cheaper tailored treatment offering considered an insult to the business? Entitled double standards. I have moved on from her business and wanted to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. Attaching the screen shots for transparency and for people to really understand the provider that she is!
