If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. I feel a responsibility to share my experience with Christie, as it was not only professionally disappointing but also personally distressing. While my initial appointments went relatively well, everything changed when I came in with some minor hair matting. Rather than responding with care or professionalism, Christie's demeanor and service took a drastic turn once it became clear that this appointment wouldn't lead to the usual $1,000 every three months for Keratin strand replacements --extensions which, for the record, should not fall out prematurely if applied correctly. Instead of taking the time to properly detangle the matted extensions, Christie cut both my bonded strands and my healthy, natural hair--so severely that I was left with an uneven, choppy, almost bald appearance. I have used Keratin extensions for over 20 years and have never had this happen. Her application technique appears rushed and diluted; the bonds fell out far earlier than they should have, likely due to minimal adhesive and reduced service time--both of which seem designed to maximize her profit, not the client's satisfaction. Because my hair was now too short for Keratin (as a direct result of her poor handling), Christie convinced me to purchase weft extensions. What she failed to disclose was that these wefts are bought at cost from her brother-in-law--a clear conflict of interest that was never communicated to me. Instead, she charged me a 150% markup for thin, poor-quality hair that was see-through and visibly inadequate. This lack of transparency isn't just unethical; it's appalling. What made the experience even more humiliating was how she handled it in real time. Rather than speak to me with professionalism, she continually left the room to vent to her coworkers about "the situation." This behavior was profoundly unprofessional, degrading, and traumatic. I sat in the chair mortified, knowing I was being discussed behind my back while my hair was being hacked off. When I got home and realized just how poor the weft quality was, I immediately contacted her, offered to return the unused hair, and asked for a refund. She refused to take accountability or offer any form of remedy. I was left with damaged hair, a depleted bank account, and a complete sense of betrayal. For anyone considering QUALITY Keratin extensions: they are a bonded product and, if applied with skill and integrity, should last 4-6 months--not begin falling out in weeks. Christie's approach seems to cut corners to ensure repeat visits, regardless of the harm it causes. I cannot overstate how devastating this experience was. The emotional toll of losing my hair--combined with the unethical practices, lack of transparency, and demeaning treatment--makes this the worst salon experience I've ever had. I would strongly caution anyone considering services here to think twice. read more

Christie is what I like to call a hair magician. My natural hair is EXTREMELY fine, flat, and hard to manage. I told Christie my main goal was volume, not length, and she delivered! She recommended I go with sew in wefts - she did three rows for me, which is the perfect amount of hair! Christie - thank you so much! It is the FIRST time I've actually loved my hair. I've since been back from my initial install for two more re-ties. Basically moving the extension weft back up to the root. I am literally in and out in less than 20 minutes. It is so easy and my daily maintenance is practically nothing! Just wash & brush really well, and braid it loosely before sleeping. Bonus - I can't even feel them! No pain, discomfort, or itchy-ness. Christie is a pleasure to spend time with and genuinely cares about her clients. If you are on the fence, go in for a consultation- you won't regret it! I also used her clip in extensions she has for my wedding. She does a great job not only matching the color, but the texture and weight for a seamless, natural look. She also cares about the health of your natural hair to prevent breakage. If you want length, volume, or just more hair to play with, Christie is your girl! read more

This salon was super adorable and clean! I had the best experience with Julie. I was looking for a new stylist after my current one moved to Texas. She did an awesome job with cutting my hair and giving it stylish layers. I will be going back to get my hair colored soon with Julie. read more

Christie is a literal goddess!! She did such an amazing job with my hair extensions. I had shoulder length hair and decided to get extensions for a change. I initially wanted the 20 in natural black extensions; but after seeing the length in person, I decided to go with the 22 in with peekaboo highlights. The price is very reasonable as the hair is the highest quality out there. It sure is an investment but I don't regret one bit! read more

I was looking for a new salon since my old one closed down. I was in desperate need of help since I hadn't been to a salon in over a year. I happened to be looking and the image of the salon caught my eye. Decided to take a chance and made an appointment. I am so glad I did. Christie transformed my dull, dry, dark, depressing hair into a beautiful shade of brown and a completely new look. I feel so much better and I have been getting compliments all day about how good my hair looks and how great the color is. She explained that very process she was doing and showed me how to do my hair and keep it looking great. I have never gone to a stylist that did anything close to this. It was an exceptional experience, I highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Christie is the best at hair. She has been doing my extensions and bleaching my hair for a year now. She is very gentle with hair, my hair is very fine so I was happy that I found someone who is very gentle with my hair. She is patient, doesn't rush with your hair and she is the one always doing your hair. She doesn't have an assistant that takes over while she starts on someone else. She's also very accommodating. She does amazing updos! She's pretty much good at everything! read more

In one word: amazing. I went in for a balayage and they perfectly matched the vision I was going for. My hair felt smooth and they styled it so beautifully. I would definitely go again. read more

I was looking for a nearby salon for just a haircut, since my regular stylist was not available, so I came across Sha La La. I made an appointment with Christie and she was very helpful. Right away I felt that I was in good hands. We started talking about possibly going lighter on my hair and she basically talked me into going a shade a lot lighter than what I probably would've chosen on my own. Christie did a great job. I was very happy with the results. She did tell me I had to go back for a tone up a few weeks later, but being the low maintenance person I am, I didn't go back, then covid-19 hit and well, we all know what happened to hair salons. Just trust her, she knows what she's doing. read more

Salon Sha Lala - Hair by Christie - Hair Extensions Near Me - La Habra, California

Christie is an amazing hair stylist!! I came in with a balayage done by a previous hair stylist I would normally go to, but this time I felt I wanted a change in stylist since I didn't get the outcome I wanted the last time. Ive been getting my hair done for about 2 years now by 5 different stylist, by now I know what I like and what I don't like. I'd usually tell stylist for no grey tones in my hair because I always went for more of a blonde look and in the end my hair would always end up looking Grey regardless, they'd claim "it will fade" which is true but the outcome was never what I asked. I found Christie just by yelp search and just decided to go with her after reading amazing reviews about her and seeing some of her work. Going in I knew what I was asking for was going to be challenging since my hair had many different tones in it, but Christie really did an amazing job blending out all the different colors in my hair turning it into a beautiful beige blonde high ombre look. I couldn't be more happier with the outcome! She really does pay attention to detail and takes her time unlike other stylist who rush thru their clients hair doing a sloppy job causing damage. I was afraid that my hair would end up extremely damaged after since it was already pretty dead, but to my surprise she said there wasn't much breakage at the ends. Just expected dryness from constant bleaching. What impressed me the most is that after she finished bleaching toning and drying my hair she noticed the front had some rough lines where my middle part was and she went back to fix it. I don't know any other stylist who would really take the time to go back a fix something that they have already finished. She's amazing!!! I'll forever and always go to her from now on(: book with her you'll never regret and you'll thank me later! read more

Christie, the owner, is absolutely amazing and is so accommodating! She really listens to your needs and strives her best to accomplish exactly what you request. The place is very clean and requires masks. Overall, great experience and will be returning. Thank you! read more

Stop by Salon Sha Lala and you'll find a hair stylist for life! Christie is amazing! She goes way above and beyond what a hairstylist does! She takes the time to evaluate your hair needs and recommend the best option! I first came across her salon because I was looking into getting hair extensions for my wedding. Christie was so sweet and friendly when she greeted. She asked what I was looking for and looked at my hair. She provided me with suggestions and tried on a few pieces to see how it would look on me. The moment we tried it on, I felt good about it but needed some time to think it through. She was so sweet and told me to come back if I had more questions. I went back and got the pieces I wanted. She installed some tape extensions. I went to work the next day and coworkers loved my hair! No one noticed they were extensions since it blended so well! She styled my hair with some curls and I felt so beautiful! Thank you Christie, for making me feel beautiful and confident! You are awesome!!! read more

Jay did an amazing job at cutting my hair! I loved his technique, he really listens and pays attention to what your actual hair is doing the entire process. I was scared to cut my hair off with just anyone and did a ton of research before deciding on Jay and I am so glad I did! I can't wait to get my hair cut again! As a former cosmetologist I am always a little hesitant trying a new stylist but he went above and beyond, so happy with my new cut!!!!!!! read more

I'm so happy this salon has opened in La Habra. Christy is marvelous.

Easy to find and easy to park, and a perfect way to support a business run by a talented woman. read more

I got my tape ins done here for prom, she did an amazing job with how my hair was perfectly blended (I have super choppy damaged bleached thin hair), she knows how to work with damaged hair really well, happy I found her ! read more

Personally, changing hair colors for me is something I always want to do but walk into nervously because I never know what I'll look like or whether I'll like how it was done until 3-4 hours later. I had gotten a balayage done last year around the same time at a different salon and wanted a refresh - after looking through multiple options, I decided I'd give Salon Sha La La a try - I don't regret it one bit! I didn't really know what color I wanted either, but Christie helped me decide, was really patient with me, and was super informative. I absolutely love how my hair turned out and will definitely be going back for any other hair needs. Thanks Christie! read more

I agree with the previous review. Such a cute and classy place in La Habra. They are located in the same complex as Dollar Tree and TJ Maxx (around the corner). The owner, Christy, said they remodeled and opened up a few months ago. I love the aesthetic and decor! She was so nice and willing to work with me on my haircut. Will be back again!! read more

Christie is absolutely amazing! I came in for my first time for hair extensions and she was so patient and knowledgeable. She took her time color matching and describing what kind of extensions that would suit best for my lifestyle & budget as well. Her shop has so many choices when it comes to extensions and wigs, and there's no doubt that Christie can color match anyone! Throughout the whole process Christie explained each step, answered all my questions, offered me drinks/snacks, and most of all, she made sure I was comfortable. You can absolutely tell she has a passion, love & patience for hair. I'm so glad that I stumbled upon her shop and found a new stylist that I can always come back to. I already booked my touch up appointment as well. read more
