So I've been going to a stylist for a couple of years. He would always cut my hair in the same…read morestyle. When I began to ask him for something different, he would say that it wouldn't look good for my face or have some other excuse. Tired of his nonsense, I decided to start looking at other salons and stylists in Salinas. I went on Instagram and creeped around a lot of pages. I came across Leticias profile and was blown away by how beautiful her clients looked. I did not hesitate to call her and book an appointment. I was really scared because she was new to me but I was confident she would deliver what I wanted. Leticia walked me through EVERY single process. I was wowed by her patience and how perfect she wanted my hair to be. I was really excited to see how immaculate the salon was as well. She used really nice and high end products on my hair. I can't believe I didn't find her sooner. I have her booked all the way to next year.

Lemme tell ya...Stephanie saved my life…read more Two weeks ago, I had another salon do my hair since my best friends wedding is quickly approaching. What resulted was a complete disaster, especially since she was only supposed to touch up my roots. To her credit, the other gal wanted to fix it but I didn't want to risk her damaging my normally very curly hair with more chemicals. So once I got home from that appointment, I immediately searched for someone else and Stephanie was lovely enough to squeeze me in Two weeks later and here I am. My appointment was first thing this morning and lemme tell you... I'm LOVING my hair! She blended in the choppy roots, killed the brass and suppressed the 90s vibe it was channeling. "Elated" doesn't describe how happy I truly am! She's awesome, great personality and definitely makes time fly when you're sitting in her chair! Do I recommend her? ABSOLUTELY! Speaking of which, I'm gonna book another appointment with her now that I remember...

After moving to Salinas, I was desperate to find a local hairdresser that could color my hair using…read moreno ammonia permanent hair color (like INOA brand). I contacted Stephanie via Yelp, and she replied to me within an hour. I was so excited to know that Stephanie does this type of coloring, and so I made an appointment. It was a year ago, in January 2018. Since then, I've been seeing Stephanie every 6 weeks as I need to constantly color my grey hair. Every time it is a pure joy and pleasure! She listens carefully what I'd like to do with my hair, from a haircut to a specific color, and suggests what would be the best. Stephanie never promises to do something that can't be done. Another great thing is that the time allocated for the haircut is purely yours! Stephanie doesn't take multiple clients at a time, her attention is 100% yours all the time. I always look forward next appointment with Stephanie, as I know it would be a quality time with interesting conversations, and in the end I will leave her salon with an amazing haircut and a great hair color! P.S. Tip - look for Stephanie's Instagram, to check most recent photos.

I love that she actually listens to me, but also isn't afraid to give her honest recommendations and trust me, she's always right.

If you want someone who's talented, consistent, and will have you walking out feeling like THAT girl go to her.

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.

She rinsed my hair at 6 and added toner. All my hair was falling off, and she tried to not let me see it. After I saw all my hair on the floor I was shaking and crying. She proceeded to tell me I didn't disclose my hair history. I showed her I had highlights last year, but since then I only bleached it 3 weeks ago.
