It was my first time at Savy Flare this morning and I was so happy with my experience! George (owner) was so sweet and our conversation was great! I came in for a wash and style for a wedding and he did not disappoint. We went with tighter curls that way when I attend the wedding later today they will be nice and loose! The salon is nice and clean. Everyone was very friendly! If I'm ever in the area, I'll definitely be going back! read more

Savy Flare Beauty - Styling by George - Hair Salons Near Me - Capitola, California

My experience going to this salon has been amazing and exceeded my expectations. The overall look of the salon is modern and has been recently remodeled nicely. My stylist just so happened to be owner and operator George. We talked about what I wanted to achieve with my hair and how I wanted to get it healthy and grow. As we went over my options I noticed that they also did hair extensions. So I also inquired about that. Over a matter of weeks we focused on getting my hair and scalp healthy while he ordered my hair extensions. By the time it was install day my hair was healthy and ready for hair extensions installs. They were installed and they look great. I go back every other month for a move up and when the extensions have no life left I order more packs from George and he installs them for me. I have never been so happy with this salon. It has changed my life. Please see them. Make your appointments. They book up fast. read more

Lety exceeded my expectations. Absolutely the best weave highlight I have ever received at such a resonable fee. She has 37 years of experience. read more

George is the most detail-oriented hairdresser god I have ever seen. He worked on every detail of my damaged, fried hair until it was perfect literally perfection. I came back after going to another hairdresser in santa cruz that burnt and fried all my hair off for the second time literally having bald spots and having my hair gone from long 18"inches to only having 8" inches of hair left. George did a fantastic job and not only did he save my hair and my emotional health on losing my hair, but he fit me into his busy schedule to help me deal with my mental state that happens when losing your hair. He is a professional and caring person and takes care of you 100%. The color correction was amazing and the extensions he installed were honestly a game-changer when I tell you he took the time to design my extensions to make them fit my style and color of hair so that it would look flawlessly. I honestly can't thank George and his team enough for saving me after having such a horrific experience with losing all of my hair that I have been trying to grow out from another previous experience. I have learned my lesson, and from now on, I will never be a move stylist. read more

George is the best, after getting my hair fried by another stylist he was able to fix my hair. From the start I love how the main goal was to maintain my hair healthy, the process of fixing my fried hair was explained to me which made me feel very comfortable. George also made goals with me on how we were going to help my hair grow back thicker and healthier. Given my hair was so thin we decided to go with tape in extensions. Not only was the color spot on but it blended completely with my hair making it look super natural. George made sure to explain to me how to properly care for my extensions and since I was properly explained how to take care of these extensions I can go over the suggest usage time of the extensions. Getting extensions helped me boost my self esteem as my hair was so fried. People are always complement my hair and when I tell them their extensions they can't believe it. When I decided to change my hair color I was also explain the process and was given options that would benefit my hair. We decided to with vegan hair dye meaning in the long run if I wanted to switch my hair color it would be so easy as there is no harsh chemicals in the dye. My hair to this day is at its healthiest point using the correct products and maintain maintenance. At the salon there is a huge selections of products which makes it so much easier to buy products to maintain Healthy hair. The salon it's self is so beautiful from the start coming in you feel the postive energy, open spaces making it cozy. Thank you George read more

My sister came here when a "Salon" in Watsonville ruined her hair. George brought her hair back and made her look nice. He has also dyed my hair once but my most recent visit was to do my perm. I have a mullet and I needed to perm it. He was able to fit me in his schedule and got my hair looking A1. The whole vibe of the place is awesome from the workers to the aesthetic of the decor. This is definitely the salon you want to go to Quality is obtained here!!! read more

First time at La Raux and it was amazing! Giving some context, I'm always so hesitant to get my hair cut since I always grow it out so I can donate it and then get it styled really short. You can only imagine how anxious one can get over a drastic cut. Never had a cut in the Santa Cruz/Capitola area but saw a deal online at La Raux, looked at their IG, and took the risk! My hair was done by Jennifer and she was so great! Good conversation and she really listened to what I wanted with my hair- it turned out even better than I imagined. read more

Jennifer at la Raux has made getting my hair highlighted regularly so easy and effortless ! She is professional and quick and such an amazing individual. I have seen her twice and she has amazed me twice. I am Blonde blonde when it comes to my highlights and kind of hard to impress. She impressed me from the beginning :) highly recommend her services !! read more

I've been coming to George for 2 years and a half and all I can say is he is AMAZING! He was able to take my ugly box dye out and turned my hair into a beautiful caramel color. If you're looking for a good hairstylist worth your $$ and time this is it! read more

Brand new salon right off the freeway on 41st. I followed my stylist Tina here; they have a makeup bar, tanning beds, a red light therapy room, and fit wrap all in one location. Waxing services also available. Ample parking and convenient location. My stylist had clients from all over the county who will love being able to get to her here. I posted their hours and included a picture of part of the salon. read more

I've been getting Brazilians from Veronica for about the last 5 years and I'm absolutely confident in saying she is the best of the best. Her waxes are always quick, as painless as they can be, and filled with so much lovely conversation. There are no broken hairs, no terrible ingrowns, and no sensitivity or lifting... EVER!! I'm a licensed and trained esthetician and I love and respect how much knowledge she has about all of the services she provides and how much work she puts in to always be learning something new and adding the latest and greatest treatments to her menu. Her treatment room is always clean, calm and welcoming. Sanitation and hygiene are huge in this industry and she takes that seriously. I go to her religiously for Brazilians every month, but I've received most of the services she offers and they've all been wonderful with great results. I highly recommend her newly added lash lifts - they keep my lashes curled for about 8 weeks. I've lived all over the Bay Area and currently work in San Francisco, and I will always make the drive over 17 to see her every 4 weeks, I simply don't trust anyone else! I will follow Veronica to any salon, city, county, state, country, continent, universe... yes she is that good! An additional note about the salon itself - the staff is always welcoming and friendly, and the space is open and well laid out. Always so much accessible and easy parking which is a great plus. read more

Lady Dianne Is a amazing high stylist. She does awesome hair cuts, and is a amazing colorist. She is very detailed oriented, and takes her time so that your hair looks and feels amazing. I have recommended her to countless friends and will continue to do so. She does book out fast though, so I do recommend prebooking your appointments. I also love Anne Caldes Leono. Her sweet personality is always welcome and is very detailed oriented as well. If are going for a fun crazy color she is your girl. She can dye your hair any color and it turns out flawless funky fun and beautiful!! read more

It was my first time coming here & overall it was a great experience. I went in for layers with Stephanie & I liked her a lot because she actually listened to what I wanted. It was the first haircut I had in a while & was very pleased with the result. The salon was very open & clean, & the staff was very friendly! I'll definitely go back. read more

La Raux Salon is a great little place! If you're looking for a waxer, you should ask for Veronica! She is absolutely amazing and makes you feel super comfortable. She has been my waxer for 6 years now and I can't even begin to think of finding anyone else!! She is also starting to do eyelash lifts, and I got my done and they turned out really nice! ( It's an alternative to eyelash extensions.) I recently got my hair done there too and I highly recommend Dani. I went in for a color and she did an amazing job. (I had dark hair and we went light...My hair feels and looks healthy) read more

Had a wonderful experience getting my haircut from Jennifer. She is so sweet and considerate, and really listened and helped get me the best haircut for my needs. She is very knowledgeable and by just trimming my shoulder length hair a little, she helped add natural volume. Both spending time chatting with her and getting a haircut I was very happy about really brightened up my day! Thank you Jennifer, I'll definitely be back! read more

Kelly is amazing and knew exactly what I was trying to articulate. I left very happy and we even had to time to discuss what I might want to do during the next few appointments with her. She was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions in layman terms but never pushed product or services. I am happy to be going back to see her and to be able to text her to schedule any up coming appointments. read more

Veronica is THE BOMB! I LOVE getting my brows done by her. And her facials are AMAZING!! Her waxing doesn't hurt at all! I go to her for all my waxing and skin care needs. She is so knowledgeable and so professional. I highly recommend her read more

I got a hair cut here and was super pleased! Definitely recommend this place! I can't remember the hairstylist's name, but she gave an awesome shave on the sides of my head and trimmed by bangs/ends that I had quarantine cut myself! read more

Melanie does amazing eyebrow waxing and is a pleasure to spend time with while she's doing her artistry. My first time here, and I'll surely be a regular. If there were six stars, I'd give LaRaux six. Ask for Melanie! read more

Melanie gave me one of the best facials I have ever received. They use the outstanding line Epicuren, which was gentle and nourishing. She massaged my face, neck, shoulders, arms and hands- and not enough esthetician include this invaluable service! Melanie is warm, funny, respectful and skilled. read more

I've been getting my waxing done by Veronica for the past couple years. She is hands down, the BEST waxer I've ever been to. Including all the places I used to go to when I lived in San Francisco. She's gentle, sweet and attentive. What I didn't realize until today is that she gives the MOST AMAZING facials. I was in heaven, she used the best product on my skin, and I felt so pampered that I kept wondering "why have I not gone to Veronica before for a facial?" My skin is so soft, glowing and happy!! I will definitely be getting a lot more facials this year by Veronica! read more

Stylist: Leti Borjon

Really poor customer service at the salon. They should invest in stronger management in order to keep their clientele happy. Sometimes, they don't do good work and really don't seem to care much when they get complaints. Pretty disappointing. read more

Great salon, excellent value, friendly and accommodating. I called on Friday at noon and was able to get in at 1:30 same day for a cut and color with Janea, who totally rocked. I have hard to deal with long unruly hair and she did a perfect job, and the price was much better than some other salons in the area. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

I found a deal online with Jennifer (which was a steal) and was so happy with the results. Jennifer was warm, friendly and very easy to talk to. I have been growing out my hair since I completely shaved it like 4 years ago now and have been trimming it every so often to keep it healthy and hopefully grow faster. But I always worry the stylist will cut it to short! She did exactly what I wanted and when she styled it, not gonna lie, I looked amazing! I felt so good. Thank you Jennifer! read more

Wow.. this place is amazing.. I was able to book an app 24 hours before my wedding, for my daughter and myself. Not only was our hair beautiful but Stephanie was a pure joy, efficient with time, and a very talented hairstylist. I would recommend her, and definitely will be seeing both girls for regular visits. read more

I was in the area looking for a place that would take walk ins for waxing, and it was almost impossible in capitola ! We were driving by la raux and decided to call and find out. They courteously said the esthetician just got back from lunch but would gladly take me! I was stoked ! I did have to wait a little while as she was with another customer when I got there(which was about 5 mins later) but she did an amazing job with my legs and pits! The wax she uses is good quality and such a pretty teal color! Will def come back when I'm in the area and in need of waxing! read more

I give this salon a 4/5 star rating due to the services of Veronica, the BEST wax woman EVER. This establishment is very beautiful, clean, and the ladies are welcoming and attentive to their clients. I have not treated myself to the actual salons services, but I have noticed they are very professional. As for Veronica, she is the best. I've followed her from her previous places of waxing and I will ONLY go with her. She is super kind, funny, hospitable, clean!, and makes the waxing experience as pain free as possible. From the first day I was with her, to now, she has not changed her attitude nor her way of treating her clients with the upmost respect and privacy. She has a welcoming-warm sisterly way of greeting her clients... hence why I only go to her. I've recommended her to my friends and family and people have become loyal to her. I HIGHLY recommend anyone who has never waxed to experience your first time with Veronica. Love you V read more

If you're looking for great highlights and cut Jennifer is your girl! She was fast and efficient and I could not recommend her more. By far the best highlights I've ever had! She really knows what she is doing. Also, my hair feels sooo soft after her deep condition. Thank you Jennifer! read more
