I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience. I came in for a lived-in blonde and left feeling like something wasn't right. When I got home and saw my hair in different lighting the next day, I was honestly shocked. The highlights were extremely stripey, there were harsh lines throughout my hair, and the blend was nothing like what I had asked for. The photos I took at home speak for themselves. I contacted the aubrey immediately and returned the very next day to give her the opportunity to fix it. Unfortunately, even after the correction appointment, my hair still looked unfinished and poorly blended. I wanted so badly to love it, but I left disappointed for a second time. At that point, I decided to seek a second opinion from a completely different salon. When my new stylist sectioned my hair, she showed me the back of my head, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There was a harsh line separating my natural color from the lightened hair with very little blending, and the color placement throughout the back was uneven and patchy. She explained that it would require a full color correction to achieve the seamless, lived-in blonde I originally requested. I ended up spending hundreds of additional dollars and another several hours in a salon to have my hair corrected. While I do appreciate that the salon eventually offered me a partial refund, it didn't come close to covering the cost of fixing the work. I'm sharing my experience because I wish I had thoroughly checked the back of my hair before leaving the salon. My advice to future clients is to look at your hair from every angle and in natural lighting before you leave. I truly wanted this experience to end differently, but unfortunately, it fell far below my expectations. read more

It's such a treat to get my hair done at "Sweeter Than Honey Hair Lounge". Even a bigger treat to have my hair done by Monique! She's very sweet and such a great hair dresser. Both my daughter and I are relieved to find a hairdresser like Monique. Just ask her what style would be best and she'll let you know. If you don't agree she will do exactly the cut you do want. It's a really cozy place that's just been remodeled. A very chill vibe. I always leave feeling so pleased and content. read more

My usual hairstylist had gotten sick with Covid before the holidays. So I was on the hunt for a new stylist who could dye my hair and put my extensions back in before my son and I had to take photos with Santa. You know Santa is a very important man so I had to look on point. I found this salon via Yelp and kristen was open. I told her I have a 14 month old son that I'd be bringing and hoped that would be ok. My son and I showed up for a visit and it all went really well. Kristen did my color better than my last stylist and her extension placement was way better. She and the entire salon were very accepting of my son being along with me and my singing to him and needing to occasionally take him outside for a break. As a new mom it's very scary when you're showing up for a long visit and wondering if everyone will be accepting or not. All in all I'm breaking up with my old stylist because this was just a great experience. Pic of my son outside enjoying himself as well. Can't wait to go back! read more

I passed by and saw the salon thought it was very cute reach out to two stylist one never replied the other one replied but was very inconsistent and then stop replying all together later on the salon reach out to my request telling me they don't do color correction or accept new clients when the stylist never mention either she even told me to go so she could look at my hair and see what could be done . Why didn't she said she didn't do color correction or accepting new client to me this is feeling very racist I guess I don't fit their standards for their clientele read more

Book with Kendra! First, the salon is so cute! Kendra did such an amazing job! I got my hair done for Vegas and was so happy with the color and cut.

Always an amazing experience with Leah DiMaria. She is a color master and has been doing my highlights, balayage, cuts, etc for years.

She takes meticulous care about understanding her clients and their hair. Would highly recommend! read more

I have been seeing Valerie for my hair color since 2018-present-- and followed her from San Francisco to Costa Mesa. Not only does Valerie do an amazing job with listening to ALL my hair needs, as a queer woman, she always makes me feel safe, heard and most of all beautiful! It's important that the LGBTQIA+ community have safe places to go to feel like they can be them selves. Not only does Valerie excel in this but she colored my hair pink for Pride back in 2019!!! Shout out to Sweeter Than Honey for treating EVERYONE like a valued guest and then some. I couldn't recommend Valerie MORE!!! ‍ #LGBTQAI #standup read more

This review is for Omar. I paid $300 each treatment for crap results. I tipped fat every time too. Our goal was to lighten it to a brighter red and he couldn't do it. I Asked for a haircut with each color and I didn't get one. I don't mind paying the money but come on match it with some talent! Don't be fooled by good photos online because here is reality. I sent him these two photos and told me to wait for my next appointment which was 4 weeks out. I wore a hat the whole month. Even after my next color was still the same. all I could do was laugh about it. read more

This place is the cutest! I saw Kendra for a balayage and let me just say, I will never let anyone else touch my hair. As a natural brunette, I have had some interesting results with highlights and lightening my color, but Kendra seriously killed it. Its evident she is a perfectionist -- she took her time to make sure each section was just how she wanted and really cared about my opinion. Not only did she give my hair some much needed life, she was so kind, funny, and easy to talk to. Can't wait to come back for my Brazilian blowout read more

Had an appointment scheduled on my birthday and my hairdresser didn't show. She texted me that she messed up the schedule, that it was her fault, and she was trying to get there. I waited 2 hours past my scheduled time because she told me she was "trying" to get there. Eventually I had to leave because I had plans. It was extremely frustrating and disappointing. read more
