My stylist (I believe Nooshin) did a great job with my haircut! I wanted a blowout look and she was very diligent with giving me an elegant, elevated look based on what I asked for. I'm so happy with it! read more

Sinan was amazing! I only get a hair cut every few years - but I continue only seeing him! He always does an amazing job, and always sees my vision. The place is beautiful and the rest of the staff is exceptional and welcoming! read more

Very clean & beautiful salon. Friendly & polite staff. Sinan was my stylist & I couldn't be happier. Going in with previously dyed dark hair also dried, sinan did an amazing lowlight on my hair & it turned out soooo good. During my 4 hours process/appointment Sinan truly cared for my hair & kept checking to see if everything is okay or if I need anything. They use great products & treat their clients like family. read more

Bellisimo Salon - Lowlight by Sinan - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Marcos, California

Review based on my 1st time experience today. I don't know her name. She never told me her name throughout the whole experience and I never asked. Went in for a volume blow out and curls for a wedding this evening. Two stars for accommodating my schedule and moving me up 45 minutes, the wash felt good and she curled my hair pretty well. An extra star for helping me pull out a couple white hairs that were sticking straight up at the end. No more stars than that and I probably won't go back or recommend. Walked in and wasn't greeted, no one was paying attention and one of the stylists and to yell across the room for the person who was on their phone in big black chair in the back to help me. It was odd. And mind you, there were two people there getting haircuts/styled. They were not that busy. She was confused and mentioned a few times that I was going to get a haircut. I was not. She blow dried my hair but with no volume. I told her at the start of the wanted a volume blow out and she said okay but she still dried my hair and it's completely flat. No round brush action. She started curling it and I had to tell her my hair was still wet underneath on the back and the side. She stopped and started blow drying again. Once I was fully dry, she curled it well with tight curls which is good so I can loosen them later tonight. Overall, it was a "fine" experience if you're not looking for any special attention and just need something basic and quick. read more

Bellisimo is an absolute gem. Sara was personable and transformed my dark, sparkly grey roots to a beautiful ashy blonde lived in color. So many times I have been to stylists at high end salons that didn't take the time to talk to me and collaborate on a new look. Sara was incredibly happy to take on the challenge to transform my hair. Thank you read more

Sinan was the best! I absolutely loved his energy--he made the whole experience fun and comfortable. Hands down the best haircut I've had in a long time! He really listened to what I wanted, gave great suggestions, and the result was even better than I imagined. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending him to everyone! read more

I got a wash and blow dry by (I forget his name but a nice gentlemen whose name started with an s) and he was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm very picky about my wash and blowouts because I tend to find people just doing a subpar job but my guy did it all! He did a proper double wash and conditioner, really making sure my hair was clean. He added products to detangle my hair - but not 50 products so it felt weighed down. He got the blow drying down. Heat and tension to get rid of all my frizz. This is key for me because it retains the bounce while making it smooth and not needing to use hot tools straighter to fix it. Then he curled my hair to perfection. It was def one of my best blows I've had! Very kind, clean, and did I mention he did it in under and hour!!!!! He was fast but I didn't feel rushed. Drybar can only ever blowout my hair in an hour and never have time for curls so I was very happy he could give me that extra care! Thanks so much! Amazing!!!!!!!!! read more

Sina colored my hair and helped me pick a perfect color blend for my complexion. It turned out better than I expected. I will definitely go back for root touch ups. I like my experience there and found the prices to be reasonable. read more

I am extremely picky when it comes to my hair and Who touches it but that being said, I just called to check this place out they were very professional lies. I ended up scheduling an appointment with Sinan. Upon arrival I showed him what I want. He then walked me step-by-step as to what to expect Keep in mind I am only cutting my bangs, but he went above and beyond to make sure that he understood what I wanted and walked me through the whole step in the sense of how to manage my hair, maintain the volume. Very professional, not pushy at all which I love gave a lot of recommendations, not pushyask for the environment. The environment is absolutely beautiful and stunning. Definitely upper scale hair salon, very reasonable pricing, and good quality and professional. read more

Great service from Sinan!! I loved how my hair came out. Overall 10/10 experience. Would definitely recommend booking an appointment.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Zahra! She did an amazing job on my color balayage and Cezanne treatment--my hair looks and feels incredible. She really took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences, and worked around my busy schedule, which I so appreciated. It's clear she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone talented, attentive, and kind! read more

My daughter is very picky about who touches her hair. She hates change & does not welcome it. She gets anxiety when she knows about a haircut appointment coming up because she has left places not feeling her best & unhappy with the end result. We followed Sinan from San Diego to San Marcos because he listens to her & she leaves wowed every time. She hates taking pictures, but immediately sent a selfie to her friends as soon as we got into the car & is VERY happy with her cut from Sinan! Highly recommend him! He is professional, but a warm & a very sweet person. I can tell it makes him happy to see his clients happy. He is in the right business! read more

Absolute waste of time booked an appt for 1230 showed up day of 15 minutes early with a lady sitting doing her eyebrows in the back with a ton of makeup on her face and just calls me instead of talking to me when I'm in the waiting room saying the stylist cancelled my appointment at my exact appointment time. So unprofessional never going there again complete joke and waste of time. read more

This is the second time I've been to see Julie and this cut is even better than the last. You can forget that you're even in a salon if you look up to the chandeliers. Italy he salon has a great look and the stylists are great. Love the location too. read more

I was in town for my friend's anniversary and didn't know where to go to get my hair done last minute. Dorsa was super helpful and kindly booked an appointment for me the same day. When I arrived, the atmosphere was so elegant and neat. Sinan carefully washed my hair and asked me all the right questions to make sure I was getting what I wanted. The result? AMAZING!! I'm so thankful to Bellisimo's talented crew for the kind and professional attention. read more

Bellisimo Salon - Long layers - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Marcos, California

I kind of feel bad for writing a bad review for a place that's new but gotta tell how it went wrong for me so the business learns from these kind of experiences and also if you're a customer, go in knowing what you're getting into. I went there about a month ago (waited some time so it wasn't super obvious it's me). Got a haircut with Sinan, booked my appointment online at 9am. Got there earlier and noticed it said that they open until 10, gave a call to clarify the situation and was told that I still have the appointment at that time, that Sinan would be there. Once it was 9, I waited about 10 minutes to figure out what was going on since they were just opening. Only one employee was there and she was the one washing my hair, because there was no sight of Sinan and I think she didn't even know if he was there yet or not. After all I believe he started cutting my hair at 9:30/40 and it didn't take long to wash my hair... again, my appointment was at 9. Once he started cutting my hair, he barely talked to me or what he was doing. I showed him a picture of what I would like and he said "sure sure" but ended up doing the opposite. I understand that he did the opposite because of the type of hair, but at least tell me that he can't do the one picture I showed him. Not agree that he was gonna do that. While he was cutting my hair, his long nails were scratching my face and neck... it was gross! I felt how his nail scratched my ear and thought that because of how long his nails are, there was a chance that one of my ear piercings fell down. Didn't realize it actually happened until I got home, and ended up losing one. On top of that, I'm sure it got infected because my ear got swollen and got a scab a few days after that. Ended up replacing them while my ear healed again. After the haircut he started with the blow dryer, and asked me if I wanted curls or ironed, I asked for beach waves. Something very simple. Everything was going a bit better until he asked me to hold the brush to hold the bangs he cut... isn't that not professional??? I held it for about 5-10 minutes, and almost at the end I made sure to keep switching my hands so he would see that not every customer would want to do that. It also gets exhausting... read more

Sinan is very skilled at what he does. He always takes his time and makes sure my hair is styled perfectly as an A-line bob

I went out of exasperation with my hair, which was long overdue for a cut and which I felt was as dry as hay...I was ready to chop a lot off! Not only did Nooshin & Chevy stay late to let me have an appt. later in the day, but Nooshin offered tea and took great care to style it beautifully. It looks healthier now than it has in months! I will go again. Highly recommended. read more

Sinan was amazing! Felt very comfortable and he cut my hair just they way I wanted it :) he didn't try to upswell me with products but made suggestions about some home remedies! Salon was clean and easy to navigate. read more

I was helped by Sinan. He was very nice! He got me into his chair and hair washed, cut, and dried in under an hour! I'm always nervous going to a new salon as I moved to San Marcos a bit ago and was looking for somewhere to go. The service was great! I didn't feel rushed to get from the sink back into the chair, and answering his questions on how I liked my hair. There's a good atmosphere and attitude within the building. read more

Would not recommend their services. They came on location to do hair for a bridal party and they were highly unprofessional. We had 8 people with hair appointments and only one of the two stylists knew how to do hair! The other one was there just to curl hair... it caused us to be very late and everybody complained that they weren't happy with their curls and styles. The curls right around my face fell out before I even got to the wedding venue :( Also they tried to increase their price on me because they weren't happy we were using the yelp discount on their profile. And they kept saying we owed more than we did, and they did this in the hotel lobby and wouldn't let me get on my way to the wedding because they were doing math wrong! It was so unprofessional. I wish I had just gone to a different salon. read more

Superb! Friendly, fast, and fabulous. Sinan will be my go person. I needed to get my gray roots done, I used Yelp they texted me right away and got a last minute appointment for Friday at 1030am. I was able to get mini-highlights, and fabulous hair cut. Perfect for attending a wedding in the area! I plan on flying down from SF to get my hair done by Bellisimo Salon. read more

Got an overall color by Sinan and was very pleased! I will say that the initial color was a lot brighter than the reference picture I showed (maybe because they bleached my hair lighter than I expected it to be) but I didn't mind it because they explained that they make it brighter initially to make the color last longer. I was going for the "cherry coke" color trend, but it turned out to be more scarlet and then fading. After about 4-5 washes, it started looking closer to the color I showed them, but was still not as dark. If your job has rules against bright colored hair, or if it isn't your preference, I would say to be aware of this. I ended up loving it more than the reference though! read more

Bellisimo Salon - Butterfly haircut and waves - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Marcos, California

I visited this salon for a cut for my daughter and myself. Though Sinan and his wife were friendly the experience was horrible. He washed my hair, and more water landed on my face than my hair. It was very uncomfortable. For the cut, I specifically asked for no layers, and two months later, I am still waiting for the layers to grow out. The layers are so jagged and uneven that, at times, it looks like I have a mullet! My daughter's experience was worse. She came in for a trim left with 4 inches off one side and 1 inch off the other. Her hair was literally cut at a 45-degree angle. Even Sinan couldn't understand how he cut such a simple cut so poorly. The owner "fixed" the cut, but ultimately, my daughter lost 5-6 inches of her length. The worst was how insensitive they were when she cried. I wanted to give this place a chance and might still, but never again with Sinan. read more

Saw this new shop was opening in our neighborhood and immediately walked in once they opened! Was greeted by the sweetest staff and decided to make appt for hair with Sinan. Came back today and SUPER happy with my color, cut and style! My daughter even got her nails done by Jaleh which looked great too! So thankful to have an awesome new full service luxury salon right here in San Marcos! Highly recommend! read more

I had made an appointment through yelp, but when we showed up, they had no record of my appointment. They said they would still be able to fit me in. Then I had an AWFUL makeup job, had to leave after completely washing it all off. read more

She is so pleasant and knowledgeable about what she does. Despite the lost length, I am much happier with my haircut and her recommendations. Thank you Sara! read more

Wow! Where was this salon all my life! This was my first time coming here and I LOVED it!
