Just found The Parlour through a friend who gets her hair done here. I am picky and been looking for an excellent salon in North County San Diego for years. Shannon and her staff at The Parlour are amazing! Great colorist and I was so happy with the excellent service at this salon. Shannon is top notch at what she does. Her experience and talent is evident. She listens to you needs which is hard to find sometimes today. I highly recommend this great hair salon in Encinitas, CA!!! read more

It's taken me a while to write this because I wasn't sure I wanted to, but I feel it's important to share my experience. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in both the customer service and the final result. First, scheduling was a nightmare. The last three times I tried to book, my stylist was unavailable the day of due to internal errors and turnover. Second, I paid specifically for the owner this most recent time, yet most of the work was done by assistants (teenagers and college students). To make matters worse, the salon was unbearably hot- no AC while sitting in foils for hours- I've literally NEVER experienced this at a professional salon. After three hours, my formerly brown hair looked nothing like the reference photo (lighter blonde). They offered to redo it -again with an assistant- but still charged for additional highlights, bringing my total to over $500 (despite being quoted $200-$300 with no notice about the price difference until I was checking out). What made me decide to write this review, however, was an off-putting comment from the owner. After a young girl came in with her father for a quote, the owner laughed about how expensive it would be because she "had dark thick Mexican hair." The assumption, tone, and laughter were unprofessional at best and offensive at worst. I ended up going to Headlines to have my hair corrected and had a fantastic experience there. Based on everything above, I would not recommend this salon. I honestly don't think these stylists know how to style or color dark, thick hair like mine (respectfully) :/ read more

This is my first ever review! I recently moved to the area and found Parlour on Google. At 7 weeks postpartum, I wanted a hair refresh and my cut was amazing by Sabrina. A few months later, my baby started grabbing my long hair, so I tried cutting it myself--disaster! I came in again 3 months PP for a cut with Sabrina, but I wasn't happy with it. I had to rush home and couldn't explain what felt off, so I called the same day to schedule adjustments. Two days later, I came in thinking she was just going to cut my hair dry buSabrina gave me a full service (wash, cut, blow dry, style) and nailed the look I wanted. She even waived the cost for the redo! I was shocked and grateful--being 3 months postpartum, I didn't feel my best, and I left the salon loving my hair. Sabrina is the sweetest, most understanding stylist, and I felt completely comfortable giving honest feedback. 10/10 recommend! read more

I did not want to write this review, but after having a similar experience to Emma (another reviewer), I felt compelled to do so. I recently booked a "color and consult" appointment for my daughter through the salon's website. The listed cost was $75, with half ($37.50) paid as a deposit. When I picked my daughter up, I asked about the final cost and was told it was $277 - not including the $37.50 already paid - for a total of $314. I was shocked! I was expecting to pay somewhat more than the advertised price, but not over four times as much. I went in to speak with the owner, who stated that the website pricing was a mistake. However, she refused to honor the advertised price, despite the fact that I have the confirmation email. I requested an itemized bill and saw that my daughter was charged for two additional bowls of color (even though the third bowl was barely used), toner ($47), and shampoo. Then the tip was on top of all of the upcharges. Additionally, the appointment was with the most junior person on the staff - an apprentice currently completing a cosmetology program, according to the salon's own website - not the owner or an experienced colorist. I don't appreciate bait-and-switch pricing or upcharges, and the owner's dismissive attitude only made the situation worse. With so many other salons in the area, we will not be returning. read more

I came in with a head full of orange hair and Lena and dahlia saved me! Lena was beyond flexible fitting me in and those sweet girls stayed late to fix my hair. The whole appointment was so fun and I walked away extremely happy. I will continue to trust the Parlour with my hair and am forever grateful to Lena and Dahlia!!! read more

If only I could summarize my lengthy chaotic exhausting hair journey over the past 18 months with you all in a few sentences *sigh, oh wait I can. Just come to this salon. Book your appointment now. If you are going blonde or balayage, I highly recommend Shannon. They have great salon hours and can chat with you via text. Every girlie swirly here was beyond helpful & sweet. Everyone was so talented. The salon is giving rustic industrial boho chic charm. Ta-dah, done he he. Okay now on to some little details.... After a year of going from box brown / black hair dye to a copper ginger red back to a chocolate highlight disaster ahhh then finally entering the stages of lightening to blonde, going from honey blonde to Carmel blonde omggg it took an overall 3 good sessions that lasted 6-8 hours. Phew are you exhausted yet cuz I had to buckle up for this process and be patient as evahhh. Wah I just wanted my ashy light blonde already... girlie can dream right!! Upon coming to Parlour & meeting Shannon the balayage wizard... I was hopeful and eager to finally get the shade of blonde I had only dreamt of. Trust the process right... She made all my dreams come true along with her amazing assistants Mia & Paige. Yes it took 6 hours but the transformation was unmatched. The hair was giving exactly what the inspo photo was serving & I was there for it. She understood the assignment: color correction, balayage & hair cut. They are true hair artists & masters of their craft. I left thinking who is she right now!?!? Shannon's attention to detail and focus when it comes to hair cutting and color correcting is on another level my ladies and gents. This salon is on the high end $$$ (hair cut for women is $125) but I would not put my behind in any other salon chair. If you are in North County, just come see magic right before your eyes! Genevieve aka "EVIE" at the front desk was so cute & just a doll. She helped me check out and kept asking if I needed anything during my visit. Love that. Literally just everyone who worked here was an angel. I left with a bunch of amazing hair products, shampoo, conditioner & all the works! Great quality products and so happy to come home with a goodie bag. Love you my girly swirlies! read more

Been searching for a hair stylist since my old one moved states. I finally got around to booking my appointment at The Parlour after trying to get myself to like a different salon. My appointment was with Malia and she was amazing! She was so sweet, really understanding, and made sure I was comfortable with my cut after hearing what happened before. They offer beverages at the beginning, my neck didn't hurt when getting washed, and the energy is positive. All the ladies seem very professional and I've received quite a few compliments since my cut. I highly recommend booking an appointment at The Parlour! They are a girls girl! read more

They forgot conditioning treatment . Missed spots in gray coverage where you can see it. Vibe good. I like this place maybe this person was new? read more

I was referred to Shannon by neighbors after moving to SD, and she's truly amazing. I came in with a bad dye job (red streaks instead of blonde), and she completely transformed it. Show her a photo, and she makes it happen. Talented, professional, and so easy to talk to. Highly recommend! read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Paige for a hair transformation, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Paige's talent and expertise truly shine through in her work. She took the time to listen to my preferences and offered valuable suggestions that perfectly complemented my features. From the moment I sat in her chair, I felt at ease. Her confidence and precision in her craft were evident, and it was clear she knew exactly what she was doing. The entire process was seamless, and I left the salon feeling like a whole new person. Not only did Paige exceed my expectations with her technical skill, but her warm and friendly demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. She made me feel comfortable and valued as a client, and I left with not only fabulous hair but also a newfound confidence. I can't recommend Paige enough. Her passion for her work and dedication to her clients truly sets her apart. If you're looking for a hairstylist who can work magic with scissors and color, Paige is the one to see. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment with her! Additionally Malia is such a rockstar as well! She is awesome as well!! Thank you, Paige, for making me look and feel fantastic. You're a true artist in your field! read more

Shannon has been my hair stylist for over TEN YEARS and can't imagine ever going anywhere else. I get compliments on my hair color constantly. Shannon is a balayage master, and after dozens of conversations with her over the years I know that it's because she is always learning and researching the latest techniques and the best products, and because she truly loves what she does and strives to be the best at it. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is also so easy to talk to, so genuine and real, and always remembers and asks about various people and details in my life that many of my good friends don't even think to ask about -- because she is genuinely curious about and cares about her clients' lives. Last, the salon itself is beautiful and always clean, with a very artsy vibe and gorgeous wall murals and lights. It's been amazing to see her business grow organically over the years, to the point where now she has a full staff of wonderful young women she is mentoring and teaching. I look forward to every visit and can't wait to see Shannon's business continue to grow and thrive. read more

I had an unfortunate experience at another salon with a butcher cut and a terrible dye job. I came to Shannon for correction after being referred by a longtime client of hers. After Shannon was done with her magic which included reverse foiling and two different toners, I have to wait for the hair to grow out, but her strategic coloring made it less noticeable how bad the haircut was. I'm extremely pleased with the results and glad I found a new hairstylist that I can trust. read more

My teenage daughter can be very picky about getting her haircut and it was becoming difficult to book an appointment with her previous stylist due to my daughter's school schedule . She decided to try new salon and a new stylist and couldn't be happier. Her experience at The Parlour was a wonderful experience. The staff was welcoming as soon as we arrived and Paige was very friendly. Paige started the appointment with a thorough consultation to be sure she was going to give my daughter the haircut she wanted. After the cut and blow dry she curled her hair to show her a way to style it. It looks amazing and my daughter left with a huge smile. read more

I got a balayage color, cut and olaplex service done with Shannon. I am super happy with how it turned out! My hair was previously dyed red.

The salon is super cute, comfortable and has charging stations to sit and charge your phone. They even serve wine. read more
