Where do I even begin! Thank you so much for everything today! I've had perms for many years, and NEVER have I walked out of the salon truly happy with my hair. But the second I sat down in my chair and said I want a "Julia Roberts styles-perm," Greg knew exactly what I wanted. I have major hair cut anxiety because it always turns out too short or not enough waves or something's wrong. But Greg talked me through every thing he did and it was the sweetest thing ever! I know, I sound like a little kid but I am in love with this place! Thank you so much. I should also mention, my mom gave Greg a photo of her from a year ago, and he did a PERFECT job. She was shocked! So much that she asked me to drive around to flaunt off her new hair. And trust me, that NEVER happens. Sorry for rambling on, but thank you so much Greg for everything today. It was the best way to start off the week! (: read more

I accepted your $210 refund, but because I was busy attending to my special needs daughters medical issues the day you sent the text - and I did not respond until the next day - when I politely asked you if I would receive the money back on square - you did not respond to me! When I sent you a text the next day asking for a response- you said no refund - you don't get to slander me and get your money back too. I most certainly did not slander you in any way - I simply told the truth of my experience. First of all you were the one who made the offer of refunding $ 210 out of the $ 395 total I payed to you. I'd be happy to post my receipt (s) to back up my claim of what you charged me. Secondly when you asked me if I wanted low lights I clearly stated no I wanted to go blonder for the summer. The second time I went to you - to have you fix all the low lights and toner in my hair that made it more brown then blonde- you turned my hair a brassy yellow orange. I did recently go to another salon where I got the perfect blonde color with not one excuse as to why that shade could not be achieved and the perfect shag cut which I told you I wanted and you said you could not do with my texture. The first photo is after I went to another salon and had then fix what you did. The second photo is my hair after you colored it- a lovely shade of orange! read more

Awesome salon! I get my hair done by Mindy and she is the best! Your hair will be looking fabulous if you go to her. Plus she is great to talk to and is hilarious.

Melanie does blonde hair right! Every time I have an appointment with Melanie, I leave the salon feeling gorgeous. I feel totally confident she will transform my blonde hair into exactly the look I am going for. There are SO many different shades of blonde and she stays true to ME and listens to what I want. She finds a blonde shade that compliments my skin tone best and a haircut that fits my lifestyle - for me its a cut that is effortless to style. I have to be honest, Melanie is so amazing at what she does, I only see her maybe 1- 2 times a year because my hair even grows out so beautifully. Thank you for being a stylist I can really trust! She is my forever go-to. read more

Melanie transformed my daughter's hair! Melanie colored Bohyme human hair extensions perfectly to create this stunning mermaid look.

I've been going to Melanie for 6 years for my hair color and every time I'm amazed. I receive so many compliments about my color and how healthy my hair looks. She is truly an artist when it comes to color. I definitely recommend Melanie for hair services. She knows her stuff and I don't know what I would do with out her. Seriously though... see Melanie! The salon itself is super cute too! Parking is super easy (especially for Laguna Beach) and everyone is friendly. read more

V Salon & Spa - Love my color by Melanie! She is wizard with her color - Hair Salons Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Realta was my hair stylist and she was simply THE BEST!! I am from NYC and I had purchased a Groupon just out of the blue because I knew I really wanted to get my hair done in California and come back with the new look for spring. The salon is easy to find right on the coastal highway in Laguna. Upon entering the salon I was greeted with vintage hanging lamps a red and chrome motorcycle, and Realta my new hairstylist. She asked me to show her pictures about the cut and the balayage I was interested in. She asked if you were questions and then got to work she was quick and precise. Then our conversation really got rolling and she told me so many interesting things about her story. I would definitely come back here again in a heartbeat and next time I and I am in town I will be at Vsalon with Realta! The color is amazing the cut is divine and her styling was superb! read more

I've been going to V Salon for a few years now and I can't believe they don't have a page on yelp. The salon is located off PCH right next to French 75 restaurant. They do have a small parking lot you can get to off Mountain street and go down the alley behind the salon. There will be a sign that says parking for V Salon and it is free for customers. Once you park you head to the alley, turn left and look for Andree's Patisserie as V Salon is right next door. It can be a little tricky to find the first time. This salon isn't the typical hair salon with a reception area, etc., It is sooooo much better. It's small, quaint and comfortable. Each stylist rents out a space and they handle their own bookings. The atmosphere is very lively and everyone is good friends with one another which makes it so much better. Now onto a more specific review on my stylist Charlene. She has been doing my hair for over 18 years and she is fantastic in every way. I've had long hair, short hair, layered, bangs, various highlights, dye jobs, etc., I'm pretty much at the point where I can sit down and she knows exactly what I want. I personally think her specialty is her haircut and hair weave (highlights). Her cutting technique is so good your hair grows out perfectly even when you get layers. I don't like to spend a lot of time on my hair but because of her talent I get a lot of compliments and many people have asked me where I get my hair done. Charlene is super friendly, spunky and from the moment you meet her you will love her. I drive all the way from Hollywood so I can get my hair done by her. My sister also drives from LA to Laguna to get her haircut. She doesn't trust anyone else but Charlene to touch her hair. She also has a diverse group of clients - blonds, straight asian hair, curly hair, children, men, men with very little hair, etc., You can call Charlene to schedule an appointment: (949)285-1700 read more

Go see Monica now!! You won't regret it. I've been looking for a good hairstylist and colorist for over a year. But since becoming a mom have just not had the money to pay what I once did. I thought Groupon would be a great way to test the seas. I was not disappointed by my experience with Monica. She spent a good three hours on me, taking good care of my color and cut. And she's a perfectionist! Once my color dried out she still saw some correction needed and went back and completely fixed it up!! The deal was above and beyond. I will definitely go to her in the future. read more

V Salon & Spa - Mid-process :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

I cannot think of a single drawback about this place except for their location (kind of). On the one hand, it is a very beautiful area and the shops surrounding the salon are really interesting and cute. However, the parking lot was a little hard to find and parking on the street is sparse and metered only. There was a lot of traffic on PCH and Laguna Canyon so unless you live nearby give yourself PLENTY of time to get there. I thought 45 minutes would be enough leaving from Long Beach but it took me an hour and a half. Keep in mind I went in mid-summer so this may account for the traffic and lack of street parking. As far as the salon goes it was great! It's a small space but it does not feel like it. It's very simple and feng-shuied. The owner made a lot of cool adjustments around the salon to give it more space and make it more comfortable. MZ did my hair and she was a doll. She was so friendly and complimentary - everything a good hair stylist should be! I liked that she expressed her professional opinion and gave me tips on what cut, color and style would look best on me. My highlights are kind of a mess due to all the different stylists I've been to, but she did my partial highlights very quickly and it turned out great! It still looks quite natural. She finished with a really cute style that she called "Victoria Secret hair". It had body at the roots and was slightly flipped out on the ends. It was very pretty. I will definitely go back in September because I loved that MZ gave great advice on what to do with my hair and what I should do next. read more

I love V salon!! I had seen Greg at work over 10 years ago when my old hairstylist used to work at his salon and I was always impressed. I came back last year after my hair had been ruined from a chemical treatment that went wrong and the old place gave me a lot of grief when I tried to get my money back, plus they made no attempt to fix my hair (on top of many other bad experiences that I won't go into!). With skill and professionalism, Greg brought my hair back. It is hard to find a stylist that can do a good job at cuts, color and highlights. Well, he excels in all these areas. I especially LOVE the highlights, they always come out as if he had colored each hair individually. I also like his attitude and confidence; I never have to tell him what to do, he just knows. The salon is very chic, with the tall ceilings, colored lanterns and draperies and the location is perfect. In the same alley as French 75, behind Coffee Klatch. You can park on the lot by the alley. Check out their other services. read more

Saw Monica for the first time at this salon, but she's been my stylist for over 15 years! I seriously don't know what I'd do without her! I'll continue to drive an hour each way! My hair has changed so much over the years but she always gives me the perfect cut and color. She's a true professional, her work is impeccable, and she's the sweetest! If you're looking for a great colorist and/or stylist you need to see Monica!! read more

This review is long over due, I went to see Monica in July and she is a true artist. I went in for Balayage color and her attention to detail is exceptional. She took her time and made sure the color and cut were just right. Unfortunately, I live in SF so I'll only be able to see her when I visit my family in OC. The location is beautiful although there's no designated parking so be sure to allow at least 15 minutes to find a spot. The salon is across the street from the beach next to lots of eateries and shops. I highly recommend! read more

Lovely women working here at the Salon! I just moved to San Clemente and am so happy to have found the place where I will be able to go and continuously get a beautiful pedicure. Super clean, super sweet, super thorough! Sandy feet are better after a visit to Salon V read more

V Salon & Spa - Hair Salons Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

WOW! This salon is amazing. I won this coupon for a free cut and style there and I drove all the way down and was pleasantly surprised at what I found. V salon is a quirky little shop in south laguna and I was automatically greeted by Greg and sat down! He really gave an interest about my hair and he really knows how to cut hair! I'm extremely picky about my hair and the last hair stylist I trusted completely fried my hair with bleach. Until now, my hair never looked healthy. I am so pleased with the way I look that I know I am more than willing to make the drive. THANK YOU GREG FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY AND EXPERTISE. read more

V Salon is AWESOME! Greg Verbenec, the owner, is also a stylist and does an amazing job. I have been going to see him for over 10 years now and it is perfect every time. He is also flexible about scheduling as well. When I am ready, I just send him a text, set a time and go. I know when it comes to getting your hair styled, it is a very personal thing which is why I have recommended him to anyone who is very particular about their hair and how it looks. No hesitation what so ever! The salon itself is very cool as well. With contemporary art hanging on the walls from a local gallery and the seasonal rotation of Greg's chandelier collection, it has a great vibe that is hip, comfortable and welcoming. The staff is always friendly too, making it a joy just showing up. I can't give Greg and his salon enough kudos. THANKS! read more

I found Melanie on Yelp so I decided to give her a try. She is a very sweet young girl. She knew how to color my hair exactly how I wanted it and trimmed my hair so that it looked refreshed. The salon is very cute and comfortable. I will definitely be going back to see her. read more

Melanie is by far the best hairdresser I've ever had. I've been going to her for a while and she knows exactly what I want to do with my hair. I used to be a natural blonde, but every blonde ends up having dark, gross, dirty blonde roots... and they're really not cute. But this is the very reason I continue to go to Mel. She completely covers my roots making it look like they never existed, and she gives my hair a very natural look. She definitely has a gift when it comes to doing hair and is seriously one of a kind. She is a professional at what she does and I always leave feeling very happy and content with how she has transformed my hair. I would recommend her a hundred times kind of hair service you need. read more

Being a hair color virgin, I was nervous about jumping in. I was referred to Melanie through multiple friends claiming she was a hair color genius! I've now been a client for almost 2 years. She was amazing and started me off with highlights to cover the beginnings of my gray. As I've continued to see her, I got a little more adventurous and have not been disappointed. I received complements daily and cannot rave more about her talents as a colorist and stylist My hair has never looked better! read more

I found Monica @ V Salon on Groupon and got a good deal and I honestly think Monica is the BEST hair stylist I've ever had!!! I decided to do a big change to my hair (from medium length to short) and Monica did an excellent job! She's very professional and personable.
