I have worn extensions for many years, and have had them applied by stylists in Temecula CA, San Diego, CA and St. Louis, MO. No one has made my hair look and feel as healthy & natural as Sara has, the color, cut and styling is superb! She takes the time to listen and analyze her client's needs, exceeding all expectations. She is talented and an absolute joy to spend time with, this is important as extensions do take hours to apply. Sara is our family hair stylist, meaning that our entire family depends on her for all our hair care needs, she is truly amazing! Her Brazilian Blowout are the best... and very reasonable!

After sickness and weight loss, my hair had become so thin that I felt like I had lost a big part of my femininity along with it. Lucky for me, the Hair Fairy took me under her wing and performed what I can only describe as a full-blown hair miracle. I walked in feeling discouraged and walked out wanting to flip my hair dramatically in every reflective surface I passed. Chelsea gave me more than beautiful hair. She gave me my confidence and femininity back, and that is priceless. Salon Adair itself is gorgeous, warm, and welcoming, with an inviting family atmosphere that immediately makes you feel comfortable. Everyone is friendly, and the entire experience feels special without ever feeling stuffy. Chelsea, you are officially stuck with me. Five stars for the salon, and at least ten stars for the magician behind the chair...

It's so nerve wracking to find someone new to do your hair and not cheap around the SD area for any…read moremess ups but I had a wonderful hair cut and color experience with Megan! It was easy to make my appointment online via her booking system I found on the Cedar and Ivy website. The services were super clear and easy for me to book and she even estimated the right amount of time for my thick hair full head of highlights which I soooo appreciated. The price was also estimated there which I expected to be on the higher end for the amount of hair I have so I appreciate the upfront menu. I showed her a few photos of what a previous stylist did I liked for the color and the cut and she understood right away. I left looking and feeling great- my only regret is not taking a before photo! If you're looking to book at Cedar and Ivy I recommend booking direct with your stylist on their booking platform. They also have Davines products for sale which I forgot to grab on my way out, but now I know they're there. Parking is street parking or if you're lucky finding a spot in a few of the lots close by but they were full the day I went. The salon is very cute inside, clean and minimalistic. Beverages available also, was glad to be offered water.

I went to a different hair salon that had really good reviews and it was bad. My hair was fried and it was a weird bronzy blonde with bleached streaks. I had so much breakage. I felt like a bird when my hair was dry. After a couple months of looking online for blonde/color specialist, I decided to try Cedar&Ivy. I'm so so relieved that I found Sierra! My hair is beautiful and feels/looks so healthy. She achieved a stunning blonde with dimension after only one visit. I went from feeling anxious and scared to feeling excited about hair appointments. There was another stylist named Brittney working on someone else while I was there. The girls hair came out soooo beautiful also! Her hair literally looked like hair you see on hair commercial ads and magazines. They're just pumping out baddies at Cedar&Ivy.

Trying someone new always stresses me out, especially with how finicky my hair can be. But since Michelle came highly recommended, I decided to give it a shot.

I've been so impressed that I've decided to stick with Michelle instead of going back to my old stylist. If you're a blonde looking for someone you can trust, Michelle is your go-to!

Emily is overconfident in her ability to do color and lacks the maturity to take criticism about…read moreclients hair. I went to Emily in May 2022 for bayalage highlights and a haircut. I have naturally curly hair and she was confident she could place the highlights to look great with my curls. After the color and cut she dried my hair straight and I told her the color looked good straight, but I would not be able to tell how I liked it until I styled my hair curly. I tipped over 20%, bought the products she suggested and scheduled my next appointment with her before I left that day. After styling my hair curly at home I realized it did not look good curly. The color placement looked like thin pieces of straw in my curls. It was not chunky bayalage highlights I asked for. I went back to see her a few weeks to show her how my hair looked curly so she could fix it at our next appointment. She was extremely rude and told me I disrespected her by coming to her salon to express my dislike for my hair. She then sent me a lengthy text and said I should find another hair stylist. I thought a long time before posting this because I understand how a poor yelp review affects a small business, but her behavior and inability to hear her customers feedback truly deserves one star.

I'm sure it feels great in the moment...but I bet it won't feel too great when you're shutting your doors. If you're THIS reactive to constructive criticism, that's on you babe. If you think I would have come back after THAT reply, you're crazy. Treating myself, as a customer, regardless of my experience in the industry, politely would have garnered a positive change in my review. After that reply...Good luck hon! Edit to owners second response: my initial review was in no way rude, it was honest and I actually left out details to show kindness to the stylist. It's not her fault, I never even said her name and that was on purpose. No one was "put on blast" (how old are we?) It was simply an accurate description of my experience. Blaming me for the HUGE CHUNCK missing from my hair is funny. Yes I had cut my own bangs, no they were not fixed by the stylist...clearly, look at the picture. Since the owner knew who I was. She also could have called me, she chose instead to argue like a teenager over Yelp. For new potential clients to see. I'd. Be. Mortified. If someone left my salon looking like I did, but more mortified to be THIS petty. This will be my last response. Future clients beware. If you're unhappy, this is how you will be treated. FYI. I didn't end up calling because I read your replies to others who had and shocking ...you were rude to them too. Embarrassing. Good luck!
