Daisy V.

I've been looking to get my lashes done for the last few months and while I was getting my eyebrows done by Daisy at The Refinery, she recommended that I look into Decerry who recently started doing lashes at The Refinery. I was a bit nervous as the last lash technician I saw did not do the best job so I made sure I looked into Decerry's instagram and when I saw her amazing work I knew I had to book an appointment. She recently started a promotion for a full set of lashes for $100 so I thought what better time than now. I came into my appointment a little nervous, but I let Decerry work her magic and I could not be any happier! I didn't know what I wanted coming in and I let her decide what to do. My lashes are full, fluffy, long, and best yet they look natural all at the same time. I felt completely comfortable while she was doing them which only took two hours and she was incredibly sweet to my friend who waited with me the entire time. Decerry was incredibly personable and I can't wait to come back for my two week fill! Everybody is complimenting my lashes which is obvious since her work is impeccable. Long story short, anybody in this area who is looking for lash extensions NEEDS to book with Decerry. She is reliable, affordable, and does an amazing job. Thank you so much, Decerry!!

I love my eyebrows! Microbladed eyebrows by Julissa.

I am so happy with my microblading procedure by Julissa! Julissa was recommended by a family member and she did not disappoint. I love my eyebrows they look so natural. Julissa is honest when it comes to framing your eyebrows for microblading and she is also a perfectionist. Anyone who is interested in getting microblading procedure done go to Julissa! I just posted a picture on yelp of my microbladed eyebrows done by Julissa, go and check it out!

On June 26, 2017, I came into The Refinery for the red carpet glam. Julissa was very sweet and did a wonderful job. I simply wanted a subtle and natural look. Julissa beautified me and I was glowing on the day of my engagement. I received a lot of compliments. Thank you Julissa!

Being a photographer, I understand the importance of attention to detail, specially when it comes…read moreto important events such as weddings. I always entrust my clients to Aime from Glamology, she is hands down the BEST hair and makeup wizard there is, she has the experience of working with brides that get married along the coast and it is so important because the ocean mist and the winds are usually not something to be taken lightly. When it was my turn to get ready for my vow renewal, I wouldn't have trusted anyone but her. She understood very well that I am not someone that normally wears makeup and she listened carefully to my request to make me look as natural as possible. I was glowing, she enhanced my natural features without making me look like a different person, which I was admittedly very nervous about. My hair was done by Malerie, Glamology's curly hair specialist and again, WOW! my hair had never looked better, what's even better is that despite the strong winds and mist in Big Sur that day, my curls looked amazing for 3 days!!!! Also, something that I have not experienced with other stylists, is that she takes the time to talk to you about your expectations, she is quick to respond to any questions and very professional. The whole experience was amazing, the couple of hours that I spent at Glamology on my wedding day were as special as the rest of the day, I would never trust anyone else with doing my makeup, Aime and Glamology forever!

I also appreciated the fact that she's very honest. She'll tell you what she think your hair condition is and will make suggestions. She is not just focused on keep dyeing your hair but she wants your hair healthy, so she'll tell you if you need a break from coloring. He r shop has been very classy and comfortable. You can definitely relax and get some pampering Unfortunately, last year, Aime had to tell me she needed to concentrate on the bridal side of her business. She referred me to Flor, who is a hair expert.. and soon after, i found out she does amazing work!! Besides hair, Flor also does extensions (hair and lashes) . She is very friendly, open and upfront, i love her!

I have been looking for a new hairstylist. Mine passed away during the pandemic and I've been going…read moreto Supercuts. I need an accessible place so I saw this as I was in the area and walked in to make an appointment. My hairstylist was the owner, Irene, and she is fantastic. She gave me the best haircut my unruly hair has had in years. I'm Alaskan Native with thick hair that is hard to style. I had to get used to the amount of time it took. She takes her time. She also blowdries and styles it to make sure it looks just right. I had to leave abruptly because my scheduled bus ride was there. She made an appointment so I could come back and check it. She improved an already great cut. I'm happy with the way she takes her time and checks her work. There are other regulars and they seem to have known each other a long time. One customer brought food in from nearby Dudley's and the two chatted like old friends while the stylist started coloring her hair. I finally found my new hairstylist.

Irene is incredible! She gave me probably one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten. She was to…read moreattentive to what I wanted and did everything for me to leave feeling my best. We had to dye my new bangs a little (they were a little to blond) and the way she meticulously selected exactly what strands of hair today back to brown was truly admirable. The salon is beautiful cutest bathroom I've ever been in. Everything about my hair appointment today was excellent. I cannot wait to be back.

I've been to this salon 3x. The first being the reason I came back twice more. My first experience…read morewas wonderful, they were able to squeeze me in before an appointment, which I was extremely grateful for, they gave me exactly what I asked for and that set the tone for me, finally I found a salon I will love! Or so I thought.. I came back a second time after being assured over the phone they could take us in, great! We're on our way! Mind you we live 35 min away. I come in with my daughter, only one of the ladies was available as soon as we walked in, fine I'll wait, no big deal. After sitting and waiting for the other person to be free (which wasn't long after we arrived) she proceeded to ignore me sitting there, walking past me MULTIPLE times, being reassured by the lady cutting my daughter's hair that they'd be right with me, and then after an hr I am told that they'd had an appointment and didn't have time for me, I understand an appointment take precedence over a walk in, but then why make me wait just to be told no?! STILL, I came back again! Trying to give it yet ANOTHER chance, this time being considerate of THEIR time and making an appointment. I show up for my appointment 10min early, she is still with her current client, no big deal, I'm early. Waiting, waiting, waiting and yes WAITING, I was barely acknowledged when I walked in, and then proceeded to be ignored while the stylist went well past MY scheduled appointment, not once offering any reassurance that she would be right with me, talking and taking her time and completely being inconsiderate of MY time. 20min PAST my scheduled appointment and STILL she talked and laughed even inviting another employee into the conversation further prolonging the other person's appointment and completely ignoring me and my time. Unless they know you personally and have built a relationship with you, don't bother coming here, you'll be completely ignored and made to feel completely irrelevant. I don't make it a habit of writing reviews, even when I've left feeling less than satisfied, however when I try so hard to give a business the opportunity to keep me coming back and they continue to give me reasons not to come back, I have to voice my experience. And no, I wasn't a Karen or rude, I simply walked out.

They could stand to bring more honest, instead of just wanting the money and uncaring to the…read moreoblivious incorrect order of service. I was ordered hair extensions in the the wrong color, and the installation was a horrifying mess. All this for an overpriced, didn't receive a whole $250 of service given with that $550 total I paid into this mess. Look below at the before photos and the after Rosie, the salon worker, got a hold of my hair photos. Bad business! Never again!

I would give this salon zero stars if I could. Maritza is the owner who does not care about the…read morequality of service her beauticians deliver. I went in to get a black and red peek-a-boo. Black on top with red underneath. Pedro Trujillo, Maritza's brother, was the beautician who told me he could preform the hair color trend. When I arrived he took 20 minutes to eat his lunch. When I was in the chair he went next door to Walgreens's and got Splat semi permanent BOX HAIR DYE. That obviously didn't work so he went to Sally Beauty and purchased another semi permanent hair dye, which he told me to APPLY MORE EVERY TWO WEEKS!!! I asked for permanent so I didn't have to do my own hair. Hence the reason I went to a salon. He should've had all the products needed in his salon. He took 5 hours to do a service that should've taken an hour and a half max. He did not wear gloves, use a brush to apply color, or wrap individual pieces with foil. He grabbed, pulled, and scrunched my hair to apply the color. I had dye on my neck, forehead, and ears. He gave a walk-in haircut and made me sit and wait. I had an appointment. This was the absolute worst experience I've ever had in my 51 years. The color lasted two weeks. I asked for a permanent hair color trend. A simple task that any licensed professional beautician should be able to perform. I called Maritza and she apologized at first m, then when I asked for a refund, it ended in her threatening me with religious prosecution! This was absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional as a business owner. Pedro Trujillo Sanchez also was yelling at me in front of clients when I went back in for the receipt I wasn't given the day of service. Also unacceptable and unprofessional. This Salon is called "A New Look Salon." BUT they do not have their business name on the business. It's MB Salon. Maritza has changed the name of her business a few times...they do not offer receipts. Dealing with a lot of cash, hmmm I wonder if it's being reported properly? DO NOT GO TO THIS BEAUTY SALON. Worst service ever. ZERO STARS.... Le daría cero estrellas a este salón si pudiera. Maritza es la dueña a la que no le importa la calidad del servicio que ofrecen sus esteticistas. Entré a buscar un peek-a-boo negro y rojo. Negro en la parte superior con rojo debajo. Pedro Trujillo, el hermano de Maritza, fue el esteticista que me dijo que podía hacer la tendencia del color del cabello. Cuando llegué, tardó 20 minutos en comer su almuerzo. Cuando estaba en la silla, él fue a la puerta de al lado de Walgreens y consiguió Splat semipermanente BOX HAIR DYE. Eso obviamente no funcionó, así que fue a Sally Beauty y compró otro tinte para el cabello semipermanente, ¡que me dijo que APLICARA MÁS CADA DOS SEMANAS! Pedí permanente para no tener que peinarme yo mismo. De ahí la razón por la que fui a un salón. Debería haber tenido todos los productos necesarios en su salón. Tardó 5 horas en hacer un servicio que debería haber tardado una hora y media como máximo. No usó guantes, usó un pincel para aplicar color o envolvió piezas individuales con papel de aluminio. Agarró, tiró y arrugó mi cabello para aplicar el color. Tenía tinte en el cuello, la frente y las orejas. Me dio un corte de pelo sin cita previa y me hizo sentarme y esperar. Tenía una cita. Esta fue la peor experiencia que he tenido en mis 51 años. El color duró dos semanas. Pedí una tendencia permanente de color de cabello. Una tarea sencilla que cualquier esteticista profesional con licencia debería poder realizar. Llamé a Maritza y ella se disculpó al principio, luego, cuando pedí un reembolso, ¡terminó en que me amenazó con enjuiciamiento religioso! Esto fue absolutamente inaceptable y poco profesional como propietario de un negocio. Pedro Trujillo Sánchez también me estaba gritando delante de los clientes cuando volví por el recibo que no me dieron el día del servicio. También es inaceptable y poco profesional. Este salón se llama "A New Look Salon". PERO no tienen el nombre de su negocio en el negocio. Es MB Salon. Maritza ha cambiado el nombre de su negocio varias veces... no ofrecen recibos. Tratando con mucho dinero en efectivo, hmmm, me pregunto si se está informando correctamente. NO VAYAS A ESTE SALÓN DE BELLEZA. El peor servicio de la historia. CERO ESTRELLAS...

Me gusto mucho el servicio de corte de cabello el personal muy amables y el precio accesible…read moregracias!
