    Before seeing Geselle, hair was copper colored.
    Allison B.

    Geselle was so amazing! I went into the appointment not knowing what I needed and she helped me figure out the issue. My hair was copper from toning it myself.. She adressed the problem by doing highlights all throughout the back of my head, did a root shadow and toned it:) She blow dried it straight and I left loving my hair! I recommend her for blondes! She is very knowledgeable and professional.

    We are so fortunate to have Geselle's talent right here in the heart of the Santa Cruz community!! After two years of dreadful home color/cut, I needed a complete do-over and she definitely delivered. Fresh brightly toned highlights, demensional color, and a crisp sexy cut was the perfect remedy. Best of all, she developed a real-life strategy with me for salon and home upkeep that won't put me back in the chair every other weekend! No one has time for that... From consult to execution, she's a pro. I can't remember the last time I walked out of a salon with my exact desired result. Thank you Geselle!

    So cute!

    Geselle is excellent! I originally found her because I was looking for a stylist that had online booking. I was so sick of dealing with unprofessional people and sites that you have to constantly text or message on IG. I first saw her at Kinship (now she has her own spot in Capitola, make sure you know the new address!) She is not only knowledgeable with color and hair but is so sweet too. She also gives the best hair washes that really clean and treat your locks. My hair has never looked better

    Not only did Geselle absolutely nail cutting and styling my hair, she was super sweet and made me feel really comfortable . Her vibe is great, her hair cutting/stying was great, the products she uses smelt AMAZING, my hair feels so good! I recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking for quality work.

    Weird, insecure energy. Not a fan. Vague about pricing. The Gen Z bro at the barbershop was friendlier lol.

    One of the things that I really appreciated about Geselle's process was the online consultation form.

    Unfortunately I have to leave a bad review. I went to Leah at pleasurehead salon. I have never in…read moremy life had a haircut as bad as this. This is a SUMMER WRECKER! I asked for a dusting, I am in my sixties with very thin hair... she proceeded to cut layers everywhere when I had asked for a blunt cut with a tiny layering right above the the bottom!!! She was pretty surprised herself! I sent a message telling her how unhappy I was , not a word back! Horrible service and I'm very upset!

    I've been to Pleasure Head (PH) four times now and had amazing experiences with Jennifer (who I…read morebelieve no longer works there, but you can see a photo from my last review!) and Shawna. They were incredibly personable and made sure to check in with me throughout every step of the haircut process. They both delivered amazing results. Jennifer gave me a super edgy look and Shawna later gave me the blunt cut of my dreams, hence why I had kept returning. Now, there's A. I first went to her when my edgy look had grown out and wanted to get it refreshed. Everything was going pretty well, until the point where she accidentally used the wrong scissors and chopped off a section of my bangs. It was hard to recover from that but accidents happen and she expressed deep remorse and tried her best to fix it. It wasn't the best, haha, but it eventually grew out after several months, and I didn't want this experience to deter me from returning to my fave salon. :) Then, I went to A for a chocolatey brown balayage. We had a consultation beforehand. My hair is virgin and very dark so what I was looking for was a very subtle change to add dimensionality to my hair since I had just gotten a blunt cut by Shawna. But... what I got was not what I asked for. I have gotten balayages before and one key component is teasing the hair before applying bleach. Yes, it was being teased, but by the tiniest amount. This led to pretty much my hair being bleached solidly rather with the quintessential natural blending of the highlights which define a balayage. On top of that, the bleach application was all over the place. In some sections, it was applied so close to my roots. In others it was 3 inches away. And A decided to give me money pieces because she thought they would look cute. When I noticed the heavy bleaching, and pointed it out, she mentioned that it would become darker with the toner. I was anxious, but I wanted to trust the process. When the hair was finally done, I was devastated. It was patchy, brassy, and bleached in such a way that doesn't even come close to the definition of a balayage. I told A that I would need some time to get used to it. After several days of staring at my hair in the mirror, I reached out to A. She agreed that it wasn't at all like the inspo pics and she was willing to redo it for me. At that point, though, I was too anxious to go through another round with PH, especially after my previous experience. So, I made the decision to reach out to a hairstylist in Santa Cruz that is known for his balayages and I sent the pictures of my hair and he immediately took me in (thankfully!!) bc the hair had truly destroyed my self-esteem. After the botched hair, I literally canceled all my plans for the next week because I didn't want anyone to see me like that. He called it a hair emergency, haha. Well, that appointment went wonderfully, and he was able to color-correct the hair and achieve the results I wanted from the start. One major pro about A is that she does a great job at maintaining the health of the hair during her work. It was actually really cool and impressive to see that when she was taking off the foils after the bleaching process, little to no hair came off with it. Even though she brought my natural hair color from one of the darkest shades to such a light color. That is definitely one of her incredible strengths!! I let A know I went with another stylist and canceled my redo appointment. I also asked for a refund, considering the results were so far from what we discussed. She was completely respectful and remorseful and mentioned that she wished she had an opportunity to fix it herself. She reached out to her manager to ask about the refund, and the request was denied bc I went to another stylist and didn't let her redo it. I am not sure if that's a common policy, but I felt saddened that accountability by the salon wasn't taken in that regard. You wouldn't hire the same plumber again if their work caused your pipes to burst in the first place. Twice. Honestly, I am deeply saddened by this and it pains me to even write this review because all of my other experiences at PH have been SO positive before this. I don't think I will be visiting again, unfortunately. That being said, A is an amazing person (her hair is also SO cute!!! which already is a testament to her skills; also, she does a great job at matching the vibe, and I /STRONGLY/ believe that these were rare occurrences, especially considering all of her previous positive reviews. You can check out her work on her instagram page. Lots of people have had amazing results from her, especially with haircuts. So please don't let that deter you from hiring her. But maybe not for balayages, LOL.
