I am so happy I found Liz! I moved from the Bay Area and ended up taking my extensions until I found someone out here. Liz (the owner) is seriously so sweet and laid back. You will leave with exactly what you asked for. I do a couple braided tracks & a trim and I'm in and out within an hour, she is quick, which I can appreciate! I am unsure if she does walk-ins, so definitely call her beforehand. I always book my appt. in advance. read more

Today, I visited Liz to get a touch up while in California. I found Liz on Yelp after being disappointed by someone on Style Seat. Liz's shop is very Nice, right in the heart of Carlsbad. She is friendly and easy to talk to. Just a real down to Earth person. I laughed because I didn't know Liz was White. I've attempted to let Caucasian ladies do my hair before and it didn't turn out as planned. Liz said be comfortable. I do a lot of different hair styles. We just began to talk and chat. Liz has been around a long time. Her clientele is very multicultural. She really took the time to talk to me about keeping my short hair healthy. Of course, John shows up and they just began talking about the good old days of California life. If you're in Carlsbad visiting or simply live here and you're looking to change up your normal hairdo. Call Liz and she will literally "Hook A Sister Up" read more

I recently adopted a beautiful little girl. My sweet daughter needed a haircut badly. Frankly, she never had a haircut before and was terrified of the salon. Her hair finally got out control and we needed to do something. I picked A Beautiful You salon strictly based on the yelp reviews. And I was absolutely NOT DISAPPOINTED. Liz in a diamond in the rough and we both loved her. She made my daughter's hair look beautiful and gave me MANY helpful tips for how to take better care of her hair. She didn't make me feel bad and I did not feel judged. She put my mind at ease that there is a learning curve to caring for natural hair, and she would help me and my girl every step of the way. FINALLY feeling like I have someone I can trust and who will help us! Sheree is another stylist in her shop and she was extremely nice! I am very excited to get my girl's hair braided for the summer by Sheree. The shop was clean and inviting. The parking is decent and safe. I have found "our" shop and I could not be happier!! I've attached a picture but please save any negative comments for next review you read :) We are ALL a work in progress, and this includes my natural hair skills! read more

A Beautiful You Hairsalon - Before and After. We could not be any happier! - Hair Salons Near Me - Oceanside, California

Excellent job braiding my biracial 3 year old's hair! She loves her princess hair!!!!

"Far From Customer Service" I sent pictures to the owner prior to appointment and also shared pictures at the appointment, which neither did any good. The owner, which I have been patronizing even though her hair care is not for 'women of color,' did a HORRIBLE job. There was no similarity to the pictures, she tried to do a 3 hour job in 1.5 hours, refused to refund money. I had to go home and redo my hair before going to work. I will NEVER go back to a business that doesn't warrant their services. read more

A Beautiful You Hairsalon - Horrible - Hair Salons Near Me - Oceanside, California

I am so happy I found Liz! My daughter is biracial and has very curly and thick hair. We needed help in taming her tresses. We were on the fence between chopping it all off or straightening it. I contacted Liz and she got right back to me. She was very positive and confident that she could help us no matter what we decided. We opted for straightening and she answered all my questions about how to keep my daughter's hair as healthy as possible. She was very patient with this nervous mama bear! Her new salon is intimate and cozy with a positive and zen vibe. Such a good energy! But the most important thing is that my daughter LOVES her hair! Liz did a phenomenal job and we left as happy as can be. read more

I'm so happy I found Liz I needed someone to my hair and also my daughters hair. My daughter won't let anyone touch her hair because she is tender headed.

Liz did an amazing job on my hair. I'm so happy with it! I recently moved to the area and was kind of hesitant to try a new hair salon, but the rest of the reviews were good so I gave it a try and it was the best decision. I'm used to having longer hair but decided to go with a short bob like cut with china bangs and she did it exactly the way that I wanted. I was in and out in a decent amount of time and the price was great. $65 for a wash, cut, press and style. I'll definitely be going back to see her. And the shop is clean too. read more

I wish that I knew of Liz 3 years ago when I moved to Oside because she is the expert on natural hair. Since I moved here I was very reluctant to go to a stylist who did not know how to work with natural hair, so I've been giving myself hair trims and not doing a very good job of it. I came in w/ curly hair so she could have an idea of the shape. She shampooed, deep conditioned w/ heat, blow dried, flat ironed and gave me a much need trim and shape. My hair is so soft and I love it!! Because of the great trim she gave me I'm also looking forward to my next wash n go. I'll def come back. :-) read more

A Beautiful You Hairsalon - Hair Salons Near Me - Oceanside, California

I went to Liz for nearly a month ago for a (relaxer) re-touch on my roots. I was very impressed- she works quickly, efficiently and methodically. I'm normally nervous when I have to see someone other than my own stylist, but felt instantly relaxed the moment she began working with my hair. Her prices are more than fair- in my opinion, she could charge far more for, because the quality of her work warrants it. I will definitely visit her again, and have decided she will be the only one I see when I come back to visit. read more

I was looking for a salon to do my hair for my wedding. I wanted an updo with accessories and a crown. Liz did a practice updo, and I loved it! My wedding was Sat 15 Jun 2019 at 2:00pm. I made appt for Sat 15 Jun 2019 at 7:00am, same day as my wedding. Liz was very helpful and made sure I had everything I needed. If I didn't have it, she was prepared and had it for me! My hair was phenomenal, it added to the elegance of my wedding and I thought I looked like a princess . I received many compliments. I recommend Liz for your hair needs. Very professional and easy to talk with. read more

Very happy with the services. read more

Liz is AMAZING! She knows her hair and she cares about YOU! She doesn't try to make a profit off of you, she wants you to be happy and love your hair that's what matters to her! It's hard to find an honest hairdresser who cares more about you then the extra buck, Liz is where it's at! We will be making it a family affair and bring all the kids in for blows out and haircuts and our sisters for braiding. We are so happy we found Liz! Thank you again Liz! See you next time! More than five stars! read more

The service here is outstanding. I've been going to Carl, my barber, for years and when he moved to this salon he recommended that I try getting my hair done here as well. I'd been wanting to do something really different with my hair....a little "Amber Rose," so I made an appointment with Liz. She did an outstanding job with the bleaching & toning & all things in between. Then, I walked right over to Carl's chair to get my cut/fade! So convenient!!! They have a lifelong customer in me!!! read more

A Beautiful You Hairsalon - Absolutely the best in Oceanside! Liz did the color & Carl did the cut! I am ecstatic with the results!!!!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Oceanside, California

Liz is awesome! I am so excited that I found my new stylist right in Oceanside. Talk about talented. She can do just about everything. Extensions, fusion, weaves, weave removal, braids, braid removal, color, wash & blow dry...you name it and I can just about guarantee she can take care of you. Liz is a true international style artist. I am African American and I loved everything about the service I received. No matter if you are Caucasian, African American, Latina, Asian, or Bi-racial, Liz is can make create an even more Beautiful You". While I was there, a Bi-racial woman who is Asian and African American called. She was looking for someone who could tame her tresses. I was impressed by Liz's willingness to take her right away. Very accommodating. Most importantly, I felt comfortable with her and right at home. She welcomed me with open arms. Many stylists, but local and afar go out of their way to charge you sky high prices-$60 for a silly trim. Close to $100 for a simple wash & blow dry. Not Liz, she is so reasonable. Her prices are extremely fair. I can't wait to go back for my next service -I've already recruited my mom, sisters and girlfriends to book their next appointment with Liz as well. Don't walk...RUN to A Beautiful You for all of your hair care needs. You won't be disappointed! read more

Lizz was my hairstylist and makeup artist for my wedding and I am so thankful for her! If I could rate her higher than 5 stars, I would. Ladies, this is a long review, but I promise you it's worth reading. I planned my wedding in a very short amount of time and was surprised at how quickly I was able to put everything together. The venue was set and I found the perfect dress to match the sunset ceremony I had envisioned. My final and most important concern however was my hair and makeup. I was getting married on the beach and I wanted long beautiful beach waves, but my hair was very short. I had never had extensions before and I had no idea where to start. I had several consultations with different stylists and each of them presented me with a different option and method, all of which were outrageously priced. I had no idea which option was the best for me nor did I want to spend $600 plus on a hairstyle. For my makeup, I was quoted a minimum of $200 by multiple makeup artists in the area and decided that I would just do it myself. The last hair stylist I called was Lizz. I had found her on yelp a while back but hesitated to call because her salon had very few reviews. At this point however, I was starting to panic. My wedding was only 2 weeks away and I hadn't found anyone yet. I called Lizz after business hours and left her a message. She called me back that same evening and we had a brief phone consultation about what it is I wanted. I immediately fell in love with her. She was friendly, down to earth and knowledgeable and I knew she was going to do what was best for me and not herself. I told her I had no idea how to go about choosing extensions and which method was best. She asked me a few questions about my wedding and informed me that I could easily go a more inexpensive route and still have amazing beach wedding hair. She even offered to meet me that weekend at a beauty supply near my house to help me pick out the right extensions that matched my hair perfectly. Every other stylist I had spoken to before had left me on my own to pick my hair and I was so confused when I went to the beauty supply because there were just too many options. Lizz completely eliminated that process. She took one look at my hair and knew exactly what to get. We were in and out in minutes. We booked the appointment to get my hair done for the morning of my wedding, at which point she offered to do my makeup and eyelashes at a very reasonable price. She assured me that I would look absolutely stunning. I believed her when she told me that and suddenly I was no longer worried or stressed. The morning of my wedding, I went to the salon with my maid of honor, bridesmaid and my mother. Even though it was very last minute, she agreed to take care of them as well. We had such a blast! Lizz made us feel right at home. Her salon was really nice. There was a small lounge area with couches for the girls to hang out at while they waited. The music was pumping in the background setting a cool, fun yet laid back/relaxing vibe. Lizz let us eat our breakfast and joined us in some hilarious girl talk while doing my hair. I almost forgot I was getting married that day. With all the fun we were having, I no longer felt anxious or nervous. It was a great start to my day. When she was done with my hair she proceeded to put on my lashes, then apply my makeup. I was going for bold, dramatic eyes with a soft glowing complexion. Lizz knew exactly what to do. When she was done, I nearly cried - and my mother actually did cry. It was better than I could have ever imagined. My hair was absolutely amazing! Long, flowing curls that I would later brush into waves ran down my shoulders and back. It looked so unbelievable natural. And my makeup! My skin looked flawless and my eyes were "captivating" (my husband's words). I can't begin to tell you how many amazing compliments I received about my hair and makeup. But it was the look on my husbands face when he saw me walking down the aisle that said it all. I swear to god his jaw dropped to the floor when he saw me. During the ceremony, he kept whispering to me how breathtaking and beautiful I looked. It was absolutely magical. And I owe it all to Lizz! She made my day perfect and I can't thank her enough. Since then, I have gone to her for all of my routine hair needs and for special events such as the marine corps ball. Each time I go to her salon, we have just as much fun as we did on my wedding day and I always come out looking amazing. She has spoiled me and every single one of her other clients. You will never find better prices and such outstanding service anywhere else. read more

Liz is so kind and very accommodating to last minute scheduling! I needed an appointment for a pop-up trip and she was able to see me on the same day, just a few hours after calling. I needed a press & curl - which she did beautifully - with an actual pressing comb! I'm Black and definitely do not trust just anyone with my hair and I am more than pleased with Liz's work. She even trimmed my ends to make everything even and polished. My hair has NEVER been so soft, even with the color I've added. I will definitely return and recommend her to others. read more

Liz is amazing. I heard of A Beautiful You on Yelp, and after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. Liz has a very diverse set of clientele of all colors and was so friendly and professional. My relaxer and cut was perfect and she knew just what my hair needed. I also suggest that if you know of anyone looking for a great barber recommend this salon, they also specialize in military cuts. All in all, the best salon experience I've had in Oceanside. read more

Liz is fantastic! She has been doing my hair for years now. I have been to other hair salons (in my area when i am short on time) and have received good and bad results but Lliz has never dissappointed me. Her cuts and styles are by far the best I have received. I can depend on her to give me the look I desire each and every time. I am half white and Peruvian and my hair is thick, wavy and long (down to my butt long) and she has worked her magic in layering my hair, making beautiful curls, or sleek and straight hair, gorgeous waves, and beautiful healthy looking hair. Her clients come from all different ethnicities so it takes a special skill to master each hair type. I live in San Diego so sometimes it can be a challenge to drive up to her salon but it is well worth the drive. Her hospitality, company and affordable prices make it all worthwhile. read more

New year and a new location! Lizz's salon is now located at 1124 South Coast Highway. I have adored this hairdresser since I arrived in California back in November 2016. It's rare to find a beautician that is both creatively gifted at her skill and incorporates a positive vibe in her salon. Being in the military, I thank God for finding a beautician like Lizz. She is honest, understanding, and caring. NOW, let's talk about my recent visit. I went to her for brows and lashes. She did them exactly how I wanted...a natural look. Honey, when she finished my lashes and I looked n the mirror...I was amazed! I tried so hard to hold back because I didn't want to mess up her work, but I cried tears of joy! It was PERFECT! Her new location is so awesome! If you are a military member or spouse that wants to go to a place to become a regular customer or treat yourself, look no further! There is now African styled clothing and jewelry for sale! When I found her new location, its like an oasis of beauty, spiritual mecca, or finding a perfectly crafted pearl in a shell surrounded by other common businesses. LOL! I couldn't believe her pretty salon was located among "the others". This new location is very fitting for the theme of the name of the salon. So if you're looking for a classy beautician with a salon with a great vibe, this is the place for you! read more

I met Liz about a year ago while she was promoting her business and since then, not only has she been my stylist but an awesome friend. She does an amazing job and she can do anything and everything, cosmetically. Liz is able to do an awesome job in a short amount of time. You will not wait for hours in her shop. Her shop is very professional, clean and best of all, drama free!. If you are new to the area or have lived here your whole life and looking for a change, this is the place to go! read more

I went in here to get a simple haircut and the stylist did a great job. She was very attentive, as soon as I walked in the door she was already asking me what it was that I needed. She gave me a lot of options and let me take my time in explaining exactly how I wanted my hair. The quality here is just as good as any other salon except here a regular haircut is half the price at twenty five dollars. The lady that runs this place was also very friendly, and very experienced. read more

I absoultely love Lizz. I was recommended by someone I work with. She does everything. My daughter is mixed and she is the first person to cornrow my daughters hair, and was honest about how long it would actually last. She has really awesome prices. She does everything...and when I saw everything,I mean EVERYTHING. Hair extensions, Weaves, perms, coloring, eyebrow threading, eyelash extensions. (please call her, b/c this is not all she does...) I have take my daughter here and she loves her! She is wonderful with kids and is a wondeful person in general. Her salon recently just opened, but I will always be a faithful client..:) She was awesome about getting me in on a late notice as well...she also takes walk ins...:) read more

Liz is the BEST. I drive from Orange County to do my hair. I am extremely happy to have found her. I am Dominican and not everyone knows how to do my hair. My family and I have relocated from New York and the hardest thing for us has been finding a hair salon who can handle our hair. Liz is not only professional but her pricing is very affordable. She really cares about her clients and I love this about her. My entire family and my friends are driving to Liz because she is worth the drive. I have finally found my Salon. read more

Came to get a haircut at 6pm and the doors were locked...says it's open till 7pm seven days a week. Tried calling and the voicemail box was full, not very professional. Guess I won't be coming back to this place. read more

So my hair was fried, Barbie didn't have anything on this tangled bleached mess. A tad embarrassed to let it down in front of anyone especially a professional. She understood and didn't make me feel bad for the mess I had gotten myself into. Lizz listened to my requests and came through for me. She also gave me a few tips to help me grow my hair without a lecture. To top it off she gave me a coupon for 10 bucks off my next visit. She wants to help me obtain my healthy hair desires. Her prices are affordable, I'm so glad to have found someone close to my home I can recommend to friends like me. read more

UPDATE: went back and Liz washed and trimmed my daughter's hair then worked on all the amazing braids in the style may daughter loves ... selfie after selfie after selfie.............. Excellent prices and really friendly atmosphere. Tell her Karyn and Melissa highly recommend A Beautiful You Hairsalon read more

This was my 1st time coming to this salon and its was a GREAT experience! Lizz your so good at what you do. My hair looks fantastic and feels awesome not only that my sons haircut looks too cute. She's a Very talented woman. She does eyebrow waxing and threating, braids, cut, and styles and many more services. She is very affordable also. Thanks Lizz for a GREAT experience! People don't waste your money on expensive salons save money and still look incredible with Lizz. read more

I don't believe there are any accidents in life. I was stood up for my hair appointment at another salon. Disappointed because I'd taken a 1/2 day off work I decided to turn to yelp and I'm happy that I did. Lizz not only welcomed me in, but proceeded to get me in and out in record time. She is a true professional that understands and is respectful of time. She is forward thinking and positive. To top it all off, my hair looks amazing and I didn't have to spend a half day waiting. Lizz really gets it (and all of my business from now on)!!! read more

I'm new to the area and was worried about trying a new stylist. I found this spot on yelp and saw the reviews so I thought I would give her a try. Liz is very nice and was able to do my naturally curly hair. I wish she straightened it a little better but I think if I gave her more direction it would be perfect. I'm sure to go back! read more

I came here only once and yes the owner was a doll. She invited me out to hang with her since I was from the east coast and she was very easy to get along with. She also got the style that I wanted. My only issue, was that when I got home less than a week later my sew-in in the back began to come loose. She offered to fix it for free and she did, but she literally tired my fair up in a knot in the back and I felt completely uncomfortable with the way she"fixed" it. Overall it's good service. But I'd have to think twice if she messed up again. read more

Liz is amazing. I love her new setup because it's just you and her. No waiting in a noisy salon/barbershop. She's very personable and easy to talk to. She cut and styled my hair much better than I was expecting. I have never cut my hair because I've been hard pressed to find people who know African hair. Liz knows African hair. And I love that she doesn't pressure you into buying unnecessary products. Yes, she'll recommend things but it's in your hands once you leave the salon. I am so in love with my new style and I will be returning to her whenever I need my hair done again. read more
