Alanah made sure to take her time and listen to what I really wanted when it came to cutting and styling my hair. It was a true pamper sesh. I never once felt like the session was rushed or dismissed. She made many recommendations for good hair products for my kind of hair and took her time to show me how to style my new cut at home without over complicating it. I appreciate all the work she put into my hair and she genuinely was excited for me to try something different. I couldn't recommend Alanah enough! 10/10 I will be coming back in the future and recommending her to everyone I know! Thank you, Alanah!

It's a 1 man operation, the building where the shop is located is locked and requires someone to…read moreopen the door in passing. I went in for an $85 haircut but ended up paying $105 after I requested further adjustments be made for my haircut (although the $20 dollar extra charge was not disclosed until payment was due). The store's claim to offer a curated and custom haircut for your specific needs has a double meaning: if you don't know exactly how you want your hair to be then you're kinda out of luck. I didn't receive any tangible advice or suggestions on how to approach cutting my hair when I said I didn't know and that I normally leave it to the barber. I told the barber I normally get "sports cuts" and he said he didn't know what that means and ended that conversation right there. I felt resistance towards requesting further adjustments (and ended up getting charged 20 dollars more for it) from the barber. Maybe he was having a bad day, but he didn't seem friendly nor accomodating so the whole experience felt more like a confusing chore rather than a treatment.

Because they are the only haircut place near campus, everyone has to go there and they have an…read moremonopoly, and can get away with extremely bad haircuts. If you can, avoid at all costs because the barbers there quite frankly do not care about you or your social life. Extremely overpriced. Everytime my friends and I go there, their haircut is botched badly in one way or another. Price is also very high. 45 dollars without tips at minimum, add in tips its nearly 60. If you don't add in tips they'll put no effort in. They also can't cut east Asian hair that sticks out, from what I seen, even the Asian barbers. Please avoid at all costs.

I really wanted this to be the place but it was far from it. My hair was just ok. Blending on the…read moresides was awful. She shortened the front of my hair too much so the front was shorter than the rest. Unfortunately this did not work out for me. Luckily today I found a hair lady that cut my hair very well and fixed the issues with the uneven blending and uneven hair altogether. I spent $70 on a cut that was not very good at all. After 2 weeks my hair looked even worse. Usually if it is a good cut, about this time it shows it's a good cut. Oh well. It is what it is. PS do not contact me over this - I did not like the cut, it was uneven and not done well. thx! - Response Also I did not micromanage anything, she asked questions, I answered them. No contradictions to anything, this is a fabrication. Not sure what I could contradict? I asked for this and that and let her cut away. We talked, we didn't talk, typical haircut stuff folks. I just felt it was not a good one that is all. I even texted her asking her to fix it. Her response was "Yes I can fix it if there's some sort of mistake. Can you tell me what's wrong?" I told her, "Blending on one side is not great and longer. It's Ok for now. I will live with it until next cut." Never heard back. Not a sorry, not a hey come in anyway, I will fix it. Nada! I opted to leave it alone and move on. I guess she only wants 5 stars every time. Unfortunately I can say without a doubt this cut was not great, my wife even commented it was not. One side was not blended well at all, there was a clear line down the side of my head, front was cut too short compared to the rest. What can I say other than I was not happy with it. That has nothing to do with me allegedly micromanaging her, she was quite assertive in what she thought I should do with my hair. She thought I should push my hair forward which is not how I wear it. She cut it. All I asked for was an even cut, simple level 3 clipping on sides and back blending up nicely. That's it. Nothing else was involved. Dani's response is not accurate at all and is more of a response for passing blame which is much easier.

This review is not for the haircut (I go to Alicia and she always does a great job) but for the…read morebooking process. I made an appointment a 6:00 PM appointment for yesterday, to see Alicia before she leaves on a trip. I went through the website, chose my time, selected my stylist, doubled checked everything, and hit confirm/send/whatever button finalizes the transaction. An email confirming this arrived soon after. I put it in my calendar. All done, right? Apparently not. After driving 30 min to get here I was informed I did not have an appointment. I explained exactly what I did and was then gobsmacked to hear that after I book an appointment online the email I got has a code in it that I then need to enter online in order to REALLY confirm the time slot. Then, after that's done you apparently get 2 more confirmations before your appointment. You'd think this is scheduling surgery or something. This has got to be the most inane, idiotic approach to scheduling I have ever seen. Everywhere else on the planet, when you hit CONFIRM, that's that. You're in. Why am I, the customer, who made an appointment, being asked to do so much work just to keep it? But what if I don't show up, you're asking? H&N has my CC on file, so if the policy is you get charged if you don't show up, and I've acknowledged that somewhere on their site or by simply booking the appt, then that's on ME. Luckily, Alicia was able to get me in after first agreeing the stay late, but then her last appt canceled so I got in sooner. But if I had driven all that way just to be told my appt I definitely booked wasn't going to happen for a WEEK... this review would've had a harsher tone. I'm not jumping through a series of hoops to keep an appt I made and if that's going to be the policy here in perpetuity then I'll spend my money elsewhere.

That's why I stayed with them even when other locations had lower rates or the same rate. It had worked for me... until this week. I checked my bank statement yesterday and saw a $96 charge. That's a 20% hike with zero warning - no email, no text, & nothing in the app. I searched every folder in my archived inbox (I keep everything) and found nothing from this location. When I texted the shop, they said "We emailed you in May." If they did, it never got to me. I haven't even been able to get a service here since Dec 16th 2024 because appointments are impossible to find due to my schedule. I've been driving to other H&N locations just to use the membership I'm paying for. The good: - Most barbers are pretty solid, though results can be hit-or-miss with a couple - The owner's wife does fantastic job with facial waxing - The owner himself seemed friendly (on the couple of times I've met him) The bad: - Surprise price hike for longtime members. - No verifiable notice or prior explanation. - Limited appointment availability at my "home" location. I asked them to cancel my membership on the spot - paying nearly a hundred bucks a month for something I can rarely book there (and with no heads-up on price changes) isn't worth it. Other H&N locations that I go to have membership fees (for new members of $80-$88 a month like at Valencia or Echo Park. It's too bad they couldn't have done these price hikes with more finesse and not just hiking me up to new-members rate

Until I found this salon and this stylist, I used to drive 50 minutes north to a salon in Laguna Niguel. This one is closer.

I can't say enough good things about Charlene and Launa!…read more I was attending a wedding at a Temecula winery and wanted to be done up for the occasion. Charlene handled my hair and Launa did my makeup, and together they nailed it. Charlene guided me on adding curl but not too much volume. I was very happy with the result. Launa's makeup was equally awesome. She made me feel put together without my makeup being heavy or overdone. It held up beautifully through a long evening and I received a lot of compliments. Both ladies were professional, warm, attentive, and invested in making sure I loved the final result. They listened to what I wanted and delivered just that. I left feeling confident, beautiful, and ready for a gorgeous wedding. I would absolutely book Charlene and Launa again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup artists who are talented, professional, and a pleasure to work with.

Jessica did an amazing job on her hair and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. She was friendly, fun to talk to, and made conversation feel easy and natural, which helped create such a relaxed atmosphere. She really listened to what was wanted and paid attention to every detail. The braided style blended perfectly into the curls and ponytail, and the final look was beautiful, elegant, and photographed so well. She left there with a big smile and said she felt so pretty! Her makeup turned out gorgeous, unfortunately I do not remember the lady's name, but she was terrific. My son's gf had picked out a look she wanted, the makeup artist did mention that the look would be dark and they could start light and go darker if needed. She was absolutely amazing with makeup and truly a wizard with the brushes. Her blending skills were incredible, and she really knew how to enhance features without making the makeup feel heavy or overdone. The final look was soft and natural, while still giving that glamorous polished finish perfect for a special event. She created such a beautiful balance between elegant and effortless. Everything stayed comfortable and secure throughout the event. The makeup lasted and did not smudge or smear off. I would absolutely recommend Jessica and the makeup artist to anyone looking for hair styling services and makeup for an event. We would definitely come back to here again!
