Worked with a stylist couple who trained with some of the best and eventually they retired. Went to another salon which started out well and ended up with an orange hair disaster. Called Wheeler Davis and spoke to the owner. Explained my needs, including a color correction and wanted a fabulous longterm stylist to work with as I was modeling. Discovered he booked me with the 'walk in stylist" so I only booked a consult. During my consult I realized the stylist knew her stuff and wondered why the salon wasn't allowing her to build a client base. Well I discovered why when a few months later over half the staff walked out due to poor working conditions, unhappy clients and along with a dose of snooty vibe. I followed the stylist who did my color correction and have been with her ever since. Heard Lo is interested in the Who's Who and famous people in the surfing world which I understand from a marketing standpoint. Lo darling...I'm in the Hall Of Surfing Fame and would have been happy to refer your salon but was treated like I was happy with Supercuts.

In my message, I specifically shared that I was looking for a queer/trans-friendly salon. I also explained that I have been a loyal client who has previously flown out of state to see my longtime stylist, but I was hoping to find someone local. I never received a response to my message, so I called. The person that answer confirmed the owner had received message and told me a person outside their salon would be a "better fit." I reached out to that person as well and received no response. Message received. The whole experience was disappointing and honestly painful. Looking for a new stylist as a queer/trans person already comes with a lot of anxiety around whether a space will actually be safe and welcoming. Sadly, this interactions let me know that my concerns were real. I can't speak to their intentions, but I can speak to the impact: I did not feel welcomed, wanted, or safe as a prospective LGBTQ client. I wish businesses could be more direct about who they aren't prepared to serve, because being quietly redirected elsewhere after explicitly asking for a queer/trans-friendly space feels awful.

I had highlights done by Lauren at Kate Lane Salon this past Saturday. Before the service, I was…read morevery clear about what I wanted: very natural, sun-kissed, barely-there highlights with soft blending. I specifically told her I did not want anything stripey, chunky, or with any yellow/gold/brassy tones. Unfortunately, the result was the complete opposite of what we discussed. The highlights came out noticeably chunky and stripey, with harsh lines, poor blending, and a distinct brassy yellow tone that makes my hair look damaged and unnatural. I've never had a salon service turn out this poorly before. Lauren herself was kind and professional during the appointment, and I believe she tried her best. However, the final result does not match what was agreed upon, and it has left my previously healthy virgin hair looking compromised. I reached out to Kate Lane management the next business day with photos from multiple angles showing the issues (patchy application, thick streaks, harsh lines, and brassy color). I politely explained that I was too upset to return for a correction and requested a full refund for the highlighting service. They have refused to issue any refund. I'm extremely disappointed in both the quality of the work and the salon's unwillingness to stand behind their service when it clearly did not meet the client's explicit instructions. This experience has cost me time, money, and confidence. I would have still returned to the salon for regular haircuts and to purchase hair products if management had handled this situation differently. I have had my haircut here many times and it was always a nice experience. Unfortunately, I cannot even recommend them for that anymore. Customer service is everything and this situation was not handled fairly or appropriately. I would not recommend Kate Lane Salon for color services, especially highlights. Proceed with caution -- or better yet, go somewhere else.

My hair is the longest and healthiest it has ever been, and that is absolutely because of George's skill, product guidance, and the way he approaches hair with both artistry and science. He's an educator at heart and is always up to date on the latest techniques, trends, products, and color science. He somehow manages to create the perfect blonde for my complexion every single time -- bright and dimensional without sacrificing the health of my hair. And his haircuts deserve their own mention because I genuinely do not understand how he does it: I leave with freshly cut hair that somehow looks LONGER. Explain that one. He's also an educator for EasyPro Hair Extensions, so if you've been dreaming about longer or fuller hair, you're in very capable hands. I personally haven't needed extensions, but I would trust George completely if I ever decided to go that route. Another thing I really appreciate: his timing is precise. Appointments are efficient without ever feeling rushed, which is a rare and beautiful thing. If you want someone who understands blonde, understands hair health, stays on top of his craft, and will actually teach you how to take care of your hair between appointments, book with George. There's a reason I've trusted him with my hair for a decade.

I have been shopping at other Ulta stores for the last 5 years and had the worst experience here on Wednesday. There is a manager by the name of Kristy and she is really nasty. I was buying a basket full of make up and cosmetics and I had my 2 year old niece and my sister with me. We walked towards the salon to ask about their hair services. She said no one was available and if I want to book an appointment, I need to do it online. She gave us a very dirty look and turned around and walked away. I was shocked at how rude she was. She really needs an attitude adjustment. Unbelievable!!! :( If I could give this a -5 stars, I would I'm shocked that a manager can treat customers so horribly.

I went in for "just one thing" (famous last words) and walked out with a basket full of hair color, nail supplies, and a curling wand I definitely didn't need but had to have. The store is well-organized and fully stocked, which makes browsing fun and actually productive. Whether you're hunting for bleach and toner or just trying to DIY a salon day at home, they've got it all--without the overwhelming chaos you sometimes get at big chain stores. Shoutout to the super helpful staff, too! I left with the exact products I needed and the confidence to use them without frying my hair (again). Bonus points for all the fun extras--nail art supplies, lash kits, deep conditioning masks, heat tools--you name it. It's like Target's beauty aisle went to cosmetology school. Final thoughts: Whether you're a pro stylist or just experimenting with a bold new shade after bedtime, Sally Beauty in San Clemente is a total win. Easy parking, friendly vibes, and shelves full of "treat yourself" potential.

I feel like my manicure was very rushed because she mentioned she needed to go to Costco before they closed. My appointment was at 5pm, Costco closes at 8pm. After she was finished she did not ask me if I liked my nails or else I would have pointed out the imperfections. Henry did my pedicure. The pedicure overall was very nice and I believe he did a good job. My only problem with the pedicure is I selected the $60 pedicure because I wanted a 15 mins massage as they advertise. I was the only customer is the salon yet Henry got up twice to grab products I assume he forgot to grab. In total I got an 11 mins massage. Maybe I am being nit picky but the $50 pedicure comes with a 10 mins massage. Maybe I should have just opted for that instead and saved some money... Now at the end of the service Nicole asked me if I was satisfied. I was honest with her and showed her how messy my nails were. She tried her best to fix them but as you can see from the photos they are still very fuzzy and not clean. Nicole asked me why I didn't mention this to Hailey and I told her the truth...she didn't ask. For $130 I expected to get at least what I paid for. I did not receive any kind of discount and unfortunately left unsatisfied.
