I had a really disappointing experience with Marilo. When I first walked in, she commented about how much hair I have, which felt unprofessional and caught me off guard. It seemed like she was unhappy from the moment I arrived. Marilo then told me that I booked the wrong service and said I needed a color correction instead of the all-over color I requested. I said that's fine, and asked for dark brown, but we ended up disagreeing because she wanted to dye my hair black. My hair is dark brown, not black. When I asked how we could achieve the brown color I wanted, she said I needed to highlight my entire head, which confused me and made me feel like she was trying to charge me more. It wasn't just this conversation that was off-putting; it was the entire interaction; she was abrasive and extremely rude. Not just "direct" like some people have mentioned in reviews, Direct I can handle, this was inappropriate and very odd. I was just in complete disbelief, that she would talk to me this way. During the conversation, she kept interrupting me and wouldn't let me speak, which I found really frustrating and rude. I don't feel comfortable having someone with this kind of attitude work on my hair, so I left. Unfortunately, I did not do my due diligence beforehand, but other people have expressed these same issues, isn't the point to get more clients instead of driving them away with complete lack of tact? I'd advise others to think twice before booking her services. read more

I am so happy I found Marilo. I came to her salon over a year ago with damaged and over treated hair. I had a look in mind for my hair, which was not what I had. Marilo gave me excellent advice and implemented expert corrective coloring. She uses only the highest of quality products on your hair. So, I followed her advice and in doing so, she was able to fix my issues. It took over a year, but the results are amazing. I get so many compliments on my color and cut since going to Salon Lola. I would highly recommend Marilo to anyone who is looking for an expert colorist. Marilo, thank you for all you have done for me. read more

I had a pleasant experience with Marilo, and this is my third time seeing her over the course of about six months. I've had balayage twice and my hair cut three times. I think she's a perfectionist that takes her craft seriously and is sincere and dedicated to making sure clients have healthy, vibrant hair! I can understand that some folks may not understand her personality - she's direct - which I find refreshing and welcome. I want someone to tell me the truth about what will and will not work on my hair and also how to bring it into a healthy condition. She's someone to respect and I see her as a partner in a journey to feel better about myself and also a wise woman that I can appreciate and learn from at the same time. We also share a love for dogs and culture so conversation flows (except while she is thinking and when it's my hair she's working on, I let her do what she needs to do because I love the outcome). Thank you, Marilo. I appreciate you! read more

I came in very nervous because I have long, virgin hair. I invest a LOT into taking good care of my hair, and that's why I came here. She was very through with me because I asked for a ombré like balayage with very few top highlights AND NOT BLONDE. I left with this hair, and I'm so satisfied. I was so scared of leaving blonde, or with damage, but there is none. My hair somehow feels softer than before. I definitely recommend her if you want something very subtle and natural. read more

Salon Lola - Back of my hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I'll start out by establishing that Mariló has been my hair stylist for 4 years. I had moved to Arizona 5 years ago and had to part ways with a fantastic hairstylist in Chicago whom I saw exactly 10 years. I don't hop around, when I find quality, I stay with quality. My first hair dresser in AZ ruined my hair in one year's time - something I had never experienced before! I was desperate to find a quality hair dresser. I found that many American (I'm from a country in Europe) stylists either do not know or do not care to cut your hair well. Fast forward, I chose to try Marilo because I could tell from her work that she was immaculate in her cutting skills. Then I learned she was from Spain and that perked my interest even more, knowing European quality... Marilo didn't disappoint and immediately told me that it would take about 12 months for my hair to get healthy again. My cut and partial highlights looked night and day from what I received the year prior. In four years, there has not been one time where I felt she didn't continue to exert the same effort and detail as on my first appointment. She always goes the extra mile and will give you her honest suggestions. I always get a partial highlight and cut. Well, I receive compliments all the time and people asking me who is my hair stylist - even if it's been 4 months and I'm due another highlight. Marilo does such a fine job with my highlights that the growing out process is always very natural. I've had another hairstylist approach me as she was confused if I had balayage or highlights! Thank you, Marilo - highly recommend! read more

Marila provides the best hair consultations because she is honest with you about the condition of your hair, the type of hair you have, and what it will take to style the look you want. Her honesty is truly refreshing! After much discussion about my hair loss and sparsity of hair, as well as addressing my extremely long, grown out roots, Marila suggested a cut that is much easier for me to care for and style which has made my life much simpler and me much happier! I walked out with the best haircut and color with highlights I've ever had in my life! Be prepared for honesty from Marila! She says it like it is which is rare in our world today! I loved her for being simple and straightforward! Unfortunately, I've had health issues that have had me in and out of the hospital since my first cut and color and I'm way overdue for some attention to my hair! I know no matter what shape my hair is in, Marila will have it looking wonderful again! She truly has a gift and is a talented artist! My hair has never been easier to manage and I love the way it looks and feels! It was also wonderful to get to know Marila as she worked on my hair! She has a kind and generous heart. My in-laws drove me to get my hair done and their battery died while they were waiting in the parking lot, Marila kindly offered to drive us home! How many people would offer to do that after working all day on their feet?! We were able to get the battery replaced and were on the road again soon, but I was touched by Marila's thoughtful offer to help! Do yourself a favor and allow Marila to advise you on what will and won't work for your hair! Give her some freedom with your cut, color, and highlights and I know you'll love the final results! Marila, thank you for making me look and feel 10 years younger! I'm trying to get strong enough to come back for at least a cut! I've been very weak after being in the hospital, but I'm a fighter! Getting my hair done again by you will be my reward for getting my strength back! read more

Now that I don't work at Yelp, I'm able to leave a review. I went about 2 years ago, when I still worked at yelp, so I obviously couldn't leave reviews. I booked my first appointment with Marilo and everything went fine, until I said I worked at Yelp. She then turned the whole appointment into talking about every single review she's ever gotten. She talked SO much crap about clients who gave her a bad review. All she did was talk about her reviews and how bad the clients were. I listened and nodded along. She also told me my hair was way too dry and insulted the color I had in it before. It was incredibly unprofessional. I scheduled another appointment with her, because she did give me a great haircut, but the day of my appointment, I ran into car troubles and I was unable to come. I'm well aware of last minute cancellations and how it's inconvenient. I texted and asked if we could reschedule and offered to pay more. Marilo was very rude about the whole situation and told me no. I was fine with that. What I wasn't fine with, was her calling me 3 times after, her sending me a DM on instagram with a video of someone getting their haircut and her saying, "Good thing I could fill your appointment." It was so strange and so unprofessional. Now, here's the worst thing. I came into work Monday with a bad feeling about how it was handled with her. I checked her Yelp account and saw that she had already called customer service and LIED to them, saying that I called in and threatened her and was asking for discounts because I worked at Yelp, which was ENTIRELY NOT TRUE. Her behavior was that of a crazy person. I had to call my director and explain that this was not true at all. Thankfully, he believed me. Anyway, I'm sure she will have a long winded comment to this reply, but that's fine. The haircut was great, but her behavior and attitude is actually crazy. read more

I'll start by saying it took me about a month to write this review. I went back and forth because I hate to leave a negative one. I feel like it's important to voice my opinion in this situation. I'll keep it short and to the point by listing pros and cons. Pros- * Making an appointment was easy * Great location and stylish salon * Great conversation with Marilo * loved my color Cons- * Hair is uneven * I have bangs that I did not ask for * Hair is "puffy" which makes my chubby face seem bigger All in all I know she does great work. I've seen pictures and reviews and that is why I booked with her but in my case I'm still very sad about my haircut and can't wait for it to grow out. I don't truly believe she wanted to hear what I wanted and that she had an idea of her own on what was stylish. This review is not to take anything away from the great work she does, it is my personal opinion and preference in my hair. read more

Disrespectful towards long term clients. I have been going to her for years to get blonde highlights and I absolutely loved my hair everytime. I decided to get my hair colored brown just to change it up a bit, but went somewhere else so I can get in quicker and she was more of my "blonde highlights" go to person anyway. After I had brown for a little while I asked to set up an appt with her to get highlights again. She refused to see me at first since I went somewhere else and had gone brown. I kept saying I was able to work with whatever she feels is healthy and best for my hair and we can do it slowly over time however she recommends since she's the professional. She was very rude to me over text saying my hair looks damaged and dry and just the tone of voice was very uncalled for, and she still refused to even work with me at all. At that point I felt like I was trying to convince her to do my hair service so I just left it alone. I had gone to her for several years and had dealt with the non-stop talking, and unwarranted rude comments about my personal life because I figured she's probably a good person with no filter and honestly Im a quiet, too easy going of a person who is too nice to everybody. But after this I feel very disrespected and left to find someone who does good highlights again. Very sad. I think she needs to learn a lot about how to treat people, but some people never learn unfortunately. read more

Thank you Marilou for your great job , stylist and color, plus you have a great personality , I'm calling for next appt.

I was going between 2 and 3 stars because she is friendly, got me in right away, and she uses great products. I would NOT recommend her to anyone with long hair. She is NOT good with long hair. I walked in with my hair at my waist and walked out with my hair barely at my shoulders. I told her I did not want much taken off from the length and I even showed her a pic. She still failed to follow what I wanted, I can only assume it is because she is not experienced with long hair. I wanted to cry. Very disappointing. I dislike my hair soooo much! I wish I had never gone to her. I miss my long hair! I wanted to run out of there. I was in such shock I didn't know what to do or say. I have not had my hair this short in decades. If you have short hair or want short, she does great with short hair. Otherwise find another stylist! read more

Salon Lola - Hair Salons Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Meg S. Plymouth MN. I just moved from MN to Arizona and was looking for a new stylist. So happy I found Marilo at Salon Lola.She listened to exactly what I wanted and made great suggestions to add a little newer style to my hair. I love my haircut and highlights! Marilo is a true artist and takes so much pride in her work. She's also a lovely person and fun to chat with. The cost is a little more than I generally pay, but the outstanding service I received was well worth it. Will be a regular for sure. read more

I've been going to Marilo for a couple years now and couldn't be happier! She always knows the perfect cut for my face. I tended to keep my hair long and with lots of layers prior to going to her but in pictures it's never flattering. My hair is super fine and my neck is long so my neck always ends up looking even longer when my hair goes significantly past my shoulders. She whips me back into shape every time I see her. The cut is always so flattering for my proportions, beautifully done, and I appreciate her no nonsense approach. She will tell you if what you are requesting won't work for you. If you can't handle that, go back to Great Clips. If you want to look and feel amazing, give Marilo a shot! read more

Marilou was such a sweet and spunky lady -- and she's absolutely GORGEOUS and very stylish too. I love her chic style, and really enjoyed our chat. If I were rating based on how friendly and personable she was as a person, definitely 5 stars. However, I'm grading based on hair, and unfortunately I'm very picky when it comes to hair (so please don't take any of this personally). Pros - Very Responsive/Professional - Marilou was very responsive, and squeezed me in last minute. She even went into her salon early morning at 8am for me. - Consultation - I loved how she gave a quick consultation, and asked about my best hair experience and just listened to what I wanted and liked. I also liked how she did an analysis of my hair, and shape of my face to make sure haircut matched my face. - Decor/Location - The decor of her place is very clean and refreshing. It fits her stylish personality. Also, loved the pictures of sweet Lola. - Styling Hair - I love how she styled my hair after the cut, and loved how she framed my bangs to fit my face. I felt like I was ready to go to a party. :) - Marilou!!! - She's such a nice and amazing woman, someone I only met for an hour but really respect her classiness. Cons - Price - It's definitely on the pricier side, was expecting $45, ended up $75 ... but it was nice of her to give me a first timer 10% discount. I live in Washington DC, so was expecting haircuts to be cheaper in Arizona. - Days Later - I'm picky with hair stylists because I'm a low maintenance hair person (if that makes sense). I demand a lot from a haircut, color, style -- so that I don't have to do much to maintain it. The hair looked great first day, but looked more like a trim after I washed. Darn it! Marilou -- Thank you for the haircut! If you are ever in DC, hit me up. I would love to try balayage next time I'm in AZ. :) read more

This is my second visit to Salon Lola with Marilo. She amazes me with her creative style that lets my hair become its best. Each visit educates me about my own hair, what will make it happy, what won't. I have almost gone full circle from less natural color and drying hair products to natural colors and using nutrient rich products. One more session should have the old hair completely removed. I wrote a 5 star review in Yelp in Sept '18 but they have removed it. Too bad as it was very true then as it is now. read more

I found Marilo searching online to find someone close to my home that could get me in within a few days for a cut and balayage. After sharing some photos, she confirmed that a subtle balayage could be done on my dark brown hair. I appreciated that she took the time to check beforehand, and wanted to make sure it would look good and healthy (and not just take my money!). It was my first time meeting her and I felt like we were old friends! She is very friendly and we had great conversation. I would continue to see her if I wasn't moving out of state soon! But I'll be back before I leave :) read more

It was 4 years ago that Marilo began my wife's hair care. She has ALWAYS walked out of her salon completely satisfied. The quality of her work is superb. Marilo takes pride in her work, is extremely honest, highly skilled & always has your personal interest in mind, ensuring that you receive the most proper treatment for your hair. On a personal level, Marilo is warm, caring, worldly and humorous. Mt wife always looks forward to her styling appointments, knowing that the results of Marilo's exceptional work will ensure that her hair will look & feel the best. And I can attest to this. My wife looks fabulous after each and every visit with Marilo. read more

I have been a client at Salon Lola for many years. Marilo is, hands down, the most professional and skilled stylist I've ever had. She takes enormous pride in her work and truly cares about her clients. Her balayage is so natural, I love it. Marilo is a wonderful person, kind and honest. I would recommend Salon Lola to everyone! read more

Marilou is a wonderful hairstylist and person. She is professional, courteous and a vibrant fun lady. I absolutely love my haircut and color. I couldn't be happier. I feel lucky to have found her and definitely recommend her to my friends when they ask who gave me the great new style! read more

I just want to say that I have been crying for two days and I cannot leave the house without a scarf, wig or hat on. I am so unhappy with the butcher job I got and for $78.00!!! I had no idea Marilo would take all of my hair off! I am appauled and very miserable! VERY UNHAPPY!! read more

Marilo is just an amazing stylist. I'm always very pleased with my balayage! I just love her honesty and how much passion she has for her work. read more

Having thin hair I browsed the pictures on Marilo's yelp page and though I loved what I saw, didn't think my hair could look like that. Nevertheless I scheduled an appointment with Marilo hoping she could help. Wow! Post haircut, I am so impressed! My new cut frames my face beautifully, my hair looks healthier, and has great body! Thanks Marilo! read more

Five stars aren't enough!! Marilo did an amazing job on my hair! I moved here from SC and needed a new stylist. I came to her salon wanting something different but wasn't sure what I wanted. She was very attentive during our consult and steered me in the right direction. My hair looks AND feels fantastic! Hands down the best salon experience I've ever had! Thanks so much Marilo!! read more

I was a nervous wreck. Just relocated from PA n have had the same stylist for 10+years. Marilo was awesome! Very straightforward n honest. Listened to what I wanted n did exactly that. Spent time consulting before doing anything. My hair looks n feels awesome!!! Go to Marilo for an incredible balayage experience. Marilo knows exactly what she's doing...a real artist! I FOUND A NEW STYLIST in AZ. read more

Salon Lola - Hair Salons Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Been seeing Marilou a few years now. My usual is a color, cut and blow-dry. She is very skilled, and I always end up with a great haircut and experience. She is very honest and will let you know what is really best for your type hair. Her salon is comfortable, pleasantly decorated, private, no noise or unpleasant smells from a room full of customers. When you have an appointment she is serving you alone, no double booking. She is passionate about her calling as a stylist. She keeps updated on the latest and greatest trends from workshops around the country. She uses I think the best of products. She's also a very interesting person to chat with (if you want to chat) so the time passes quickly. Easy to make an appointment on her website. She'll respond with a confirmation. It's a small parking area so if full IHOP is right there with a big lot. Highly recommend! read more

I decided to make an appointment with Marilo based on the rave reviews that she's had on Yelp - and I am so glad I did! There was actually a scheduling snafu when I arrived. Another customer thought she had booked an appointment at the same time. Marilo handled the situation professionally, even offering the other customer a discount to reschedule for later in the week. And even though it really did seem that it was user error (I mean, I got my email and text confirming my appointment, but the other customer did not), Marilo was extremely gracious about it. Marilo was able to listen to what I was looking for, but she also offered honest, helpful insight on what would work with my personal hair and texture. You can tell she has a great passion for making people beautiful, and that's exactly what you want from your hair stylist. I've paid as much (if not more) for haircuts at other salons, and while they weren't bad, Marilo really took the time to get my cut just right. I love that you can book your appointment online (just make sure you get that confirmation email, folks) - so convenient! read more

Marilo is an artist. My hair was dried out, outdated, and just sad. She gave me the BEST color I've ever had in my life and the most AMAZING, razor sharp bob. I look like a totally different person. Marilo is funny and kind, and explains exactly why she is doing what she does as she cuts and colors. I absolutely love my hair, more than any cut EVER. My hair is full. bouncy, and has a style that is both elegant and rocking at the same time. Marilo loves what she does and just wants people to feel gorgeous when they leave. Mission accomplished, Marilo!!! read more

Marilo has been doing hair for over 20 years and it shows in her work! What is even more impressive is that she is still passionate about what she does. She doesn't simply do hair to collect a paycheck- she does it because she loves it. She is the kind of stylist that has the integrity to do the right thing for your hair even if that means she won't be having you back in her chair for a little while longer. What's important to her is that you will be coming back! I used Marilo when my regular stylist bailed on me for the third time! She took me in, even though it meant pushing back her personal plans, and completely transformed my look. She told me she is not a miracle worker, but I think she just might be! Thanks, Marilo! read more

I do not post reviews a lot but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to praise Marilo! I came to her with the single worst haircut (botch job) I've ever had. I have extremely curly hair and the haircut I got before made me look like a Christmas tree. I felt so embarrassed to ever have my hair down. I was sick to death of other hair stylists claiming they know how to cut curly hair. Marilo assured me that she in fact DID know how. She told me she just got back from a class in NY specifically on how to style and cut curly hair. I could cry. She didn't just quickly chop my hair and send me on my way. She gave me tip and tricks on how to wash my hair. How to work with my curls. I learned so much AND left with a BEAUTIFUL haircut. She is also such a lovely person and easy to talk to. Thank you Marilo. You WILL hear from me again read more

I saw the good reviews and chose to see Marilo to get the first short haircut of my life... it was absolutely perfect and turned out better than I could have imagined. She pointed me in the right direction for my face shape and hair type and I walked out of there with a cut that I loved. I came back the next week for hilights, which turned out beautifully - my hair looks naturally sun kissed. I highly recommend Marilo! read more

Wonderful experience. I arrived with hair that was a brassy dry mess and I left with a beautiful color and cut and suggestions to make my hair healthier going forward. The two hours I spent was full of delightful conversation and positive impact in addition to my hair. read more

I LOVE Marilo!! Seriously such a nice person and does an AMAZING color job!! Her highlights are the BEST! In the past when I have gotten Highlights elsewhere, my roots are obvious the next day.... not with Marilo! The way she does highlights makes them look amazing for weeks.... simply the best! I also love that she doesn't double book.... when I'm there she works on ME which is refreshing to have. Other salons have several clients booked at once and it has always bothered me! I get compliments about my hair and she had some work cut out for her with color correction! Thanks Marilo!! read more

I love my hair! Marilo was wonderful to work with. She was honest with me about what would look good on me and she took the time to work with what a mess my hair was. I tend to cut my own bangs and she managed to give me a beautiful haircut that blended my blunder. My highlights and low lights look natural and not harsh and chunky. I have had many compliments from family and friends about how good it looks. This is now my go to hairdresser! Thank you Marilo! read more

Marilo is such a wonderful & talented person. She went above & beyond my expectations. We loved her salon decor and it had a happy feel to it. Both my daughter and I got our hair cut and we were very happy with her work. My husband and I, were taking my daughter to her first real concert that night and Marilo helped to make that night even more fantastic. She helped our night be more magical by sending us off with glitter in our hair, while we later watched "Glitter in the Air" being sung. Thank you for helping make it my daughters "Best Night Ever!" read more

Salon Lola - My daughter with glitter in her hair from Marilo, while waiting to hear "Glitter in the Air" :-) - Hair Salons Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Marilo is simply the best hair dresser Ive ever tried. I had very long hair and went to her for a few different cuts before I decided to have it all chopped off for a pixie style. I went in feeling very comfortable and confident that I would love the way I looked after taking such a drastic change in style. we discussed cut and style and what was realistic to expect. She is an excellent communicator. she is funny and charming and VERY good and what she does. She has been a stylist for years and continues to educate herself in her art through various workshops. I recommend her to everyone I meet, because everyone asks me who does my hair!!! ask her about her dancing career! read more

Marilo is amazing! I first met her after moving to AZ earlier this year when I was looking for a stylist in the Chandler area who specialized in balayage. I've now been back to Salon Lola a couple times - first for balayge and a haircut, and then most recently for a color refresh and trim - and I LOVE my hair! She helped explain to me how her technique with French balayage looks so much more natural than the foil balayage that I had gotten before, and was honest in helping me understand the best cut and style for my face and hair type. She also doesn't double book and so all of her care and focus was on me, which made me feel super special. Marilo is incredibly talented and passionate about what she does! I highly recommend Marilo and Salon Lola - you'll leave looking and feeling fabulous! :) read more

I have now been going to Marilo for 6 months and she has never disappointed. She will make you feel beautiful inside and out because she listens to you and does not recommend something that will not look fabulous. Not sure what happened to Michelle T but I can assure you that you will NOT be disappointed when you go to Salon Lola! read more

Today was my first time here and let me tell you I will definitely be back!!!!! She is absolutely amazing!!!!! I am so picky about my hair and have not had it cut for a year because I could not find the right person, well I found her!!! Not to mention I love her personality and her accent!!!! Her Salon is gorgeous, they way she has it decorated fits her. The way she cut my hair I have never had anyone pay that much attention to detail including posture and position of the head. I am new to the area from PA and have lived all over the country, she is among the best I've ever experienced!!!!!!! read more

Loved Marilo, her personality, passion, positivity and awesome hair cutting skills. Highly recommend.

I was visiting a friend in AZ and decided to get a haircut. Based on another reviews this place is a go. I was not disappointed. Great haircut, friendly atmosphere and I liked the feel of a boutique salon. It's super cute there. I recommended this hair salon to my friend who lives there and she was also happy with her haircut. It's kind of confusing to find it but Marlo called me and explained how to find it. read more
