Danielle M.

This man has magical hair fingers or something. I've gone to Erik for literally every stage of my hair for the past 3 years. I had a side shave with designs, went from long hair to short hair with bangs, teal hair, blue hair, purple hair, red hair, RED AND PURPLE hair. He's done it all. I've recently moved to San Diego and had 2 different hair experiences that weren't NEARLY as good as Erik. My hair feels betrayed. I've made the decision to drive an hour and some change for my hair.

I've been going to see Erik for a long time and have followed him from the location at The District. I love this new location since it's much closer to me. He is flexible with his schedule and communicates well. I trust Erik with my hair completely! He gives great suggestions and I usually go with whatever he suggests because the end results always looks amazing. I told Erik I was going to do a DIY engagement shoot while getting my hair colored and he brainstormed some quick and easy hair styles I could try out. It was super helpful since I was doing my own hair and makeup. I highly recommend him!

I finally decided I wanted to try extensions and I asked Erik if he would do them. I've gotten them installed/moved up a few times now and he does a great job!!! They look so natural and blend really well with my natural hair. Since this was my first time getting tape-in extensions, he gave me a lot of great advice on how to take care of the extensions and my actual hair. I've always loved how much he cares about maintaining the integrity of my hair. I highly recommend going to him for extensions, especially if you're new to them like I was. :)

100/10! Erik is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! (Yes, the emphasis was necessary). Erik is extremely talented and very attentive to detail. He will spend all the necessary time to hear out your ideas/wants as well as share his input/advice. Rest assured that when you ask for his opinion, he will be 100 % honest. I had a great time getting my hair professionally cut and colored (first time!!)! Plus, he is funny! Just a great character to be around. He also makes sure that you are always comfortable, even offering you a snack. I felt relaxed throughout the entire process- as if I was hanging out with a close friend. Go get your hair done by Erik! I attached some photos below of my before and after.

Loving my new highlights and cut I got from Erik the other day! Exactly what I asked for and super knowledgeable about all aspects of color and technique.

@thehairrobot gave me a showstopper with this cut and color

Erik has been cutting my hair for a few years now. He is professional, kind, informative, and makes an effort to give clients his undivided attention. He provides his clients with a lot of useful tips on how to style your hair after the cut and never pushes unnecessary products. His cuts always achieve the style that I requested- fresh, professional, and edgy. For 30 years I have never colored my hair, but after seeing Erik's work on Instagram (You can follow him on Instagram @thehairrobot) I wanted to undergo a hair transformation after seeing his skills. I reached out to him and booked a consultation for my dark asian hair to be dyed for a grey ombre effect. During the consultation he attentively listened and was very patient with all my questions. His answers were very honest and upfront about the reality of my request and what it would potentially take to achieve the results that I desired. I appreciated that he gave a fair and upfront price quote so there was no surprises before service even started. After speaking to him I felt very informed and he helped me make the right decision for my hair. After 2 coloring sessions I am extremely happy and impressed with the results. The photos I attached to this review doesn't even do it justice. Since then, I have been a returning client now for over a year, and each time Erik far surpasses my high expectations in every way. Most notably, during these coloring sessions I also learned that Erik has a commitment to industry related education and constantly keeps up with his professional development and research. While already having solid talent and skills, he humbly stays current on the newest trends, techniques, products and technology to always provide all his clients the highest quality cut and color experience possible. I truly respect his passion for hair, I trust in his experience, and he is genuinely at the heart of it all-- an artist. I fully stand by this business and know that I will be a returning client for many years to come.

When I first started going to her, my hair was super damaged and short, and over time she completely transformed it. My hair is now so much healthier, longer, and stronger thanks to her care and consistency. She always takes her time, listens to exactly what I want, and somehow makes my hair come out even better every time!! She also does my extensions and blends them so perfectly. I always leave feeling pretty, and refreshed after my appointments!!! Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she's also such a sweet and caring person who truly cares about her clients. The salon atmosphere is always relaxing, it honestly feels like a little self-care day every time I go. lol If you're looking for someone who truly cares about hair health and makes you feel beautiful every appointment, I 100% recommend booking with Janeth!!

It's been over 6 years now! Lindsay is truly exceptional. She just has a way of making blondes and extensions look effortless and completely natural. She really understands what will suit you, not just what you ask for, and she delivers it with precision every time. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and you'll leave feeling confident, refreshed, and beautiful! One of the things I appreciate most is how knowledgeable she is. From hair and scalp health to products, she always knows what's best for where you are in your hair journey. Her recommendations have completely transformed the health of my hair, and I trust her completely. She can truly do it all. Whether it's color, correction, cut, or styling, everything she does feels natural, elevated, and very you. I constantly get compliments on my hair. Sage on 17th as a whole is such a vibe. The space is beautiful and welcoming, and every stylist there is talented, professional, and consistent. Whether I'm there for a full service appointment, a keratin treatment, or a blowout for an event, I know I'm in excellent hands. It's the first place I go whenever I need my hair done. They also have an amazing selection of hair care, candles, and gifts, which makes it feel like a one stop shop. I always walk out with a bag full of goodies. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your hair, especially for blondes or extensions, Lindsay is the best. It's one of those places you keep going back to because you know you'll be taken care of and always leave feeling fabulous!

Then when my stylist was putting the foils halfway down my hair I reminded her I did not want a balayage and wanted more natural lighter highlights just around my face. She explained what she was doing would create natural highlights throughout. I figured she's supposedly the expert. Sure enough when she removed the foils I had a balayage. Then when she tried to fix it, she made it worse as I now have striped copper lines in my hair. Not light brown, like I asked, they're copper!! Literal stripes down my head, it's quite embarrassing and I wore a hat for the rest of the day. And I'll have to continue to cover my hair until I can get it fixed elsewhere. They look worse in person than in the photos too. Soooo frustrating and especially so because when I called to make the appointment I specifically ask for someone with a lot of experience as I have not had my hair colored or highlighted in a long time and I wanted a very natural lighter highlight.

I would go visit someone based on multiple sourced reviews, only to be disappointed. This time around, I went to Reddit. Matt had replied to a request for a good haircut, providing a link to his cuts. They were unique, reflecting an artsy vibe, instead of the status quo. It was easy to get an appointment.

She's been my primary stylist since I can remember, and there's just no close comparison anywhere else. Her knowledge, professionalism, style, and expertise when it comes to hair is just out of this world.

I can't count the number of times she had to craftily (and patiently) fix my bangs from my failed attempts and experiments. I'm just happy to know that Arukas is back and relocated in Tustin, CA.

The service has always been everything you'd hope for from a salon--warm, attentive, and consistent--and the prices are very reasonable. During my last visit at the end of September, Konami gave me a great haircut and shared the news that Asako will be retiring. I was so sad to hear it! I wish Asako all the best in her next chapter and look forward to continuing to visit Arukas with Konami and Rei for our future haircuts.

There's many problems I have with this salon…read moreincluding the miscommunication on pricing despite me clearly stating my needs, but this is beside the point. I got an install that left my natural hair severely matted, tangled, and ultimately damaged. I've worn the same style for over five years with other stylists using the same My hair, and I've never experienced this level of matting and nesting, in fact none at all. I was brushing my hair every 30 minutes just to keep it from tangling even things like driving with the window down made it worse. This same experience was reviewed by other clients online. This is honestly not why I'm leaving this review. I'm expressing this to only explain my experience. I understood that this method was a new thing for me to try both me and the hairstylist agreed to this. My review is met with the stylist herself. If she would have communicated with me after sending her a message expressing how I felt, I would have never left this review. I signed a waiver acknowledging that the salon isn't responsible for the hair itself, or the new method we were trying on my hair, but I truly believe the issue was with the method used not the hair. My stylist was Bella, and she almost didn't want to do my hair considering my concerns about these methods. However we went through with it. After removing the install early, I was left with noticeable thinning and breakage. When I tried to respectfully share my experience with the stylist, I was blocked instead of met with a conversation. I'm disappointed in the customer service and felt very disrespectful. I hope this feedback helps improve future services. I paid a premium price and was left with lasting damage and no support afterward or even a response. Blocking me shows character of this stylist.
