Very disappointing! I had an appointment that starts at 4:00PM and I was 14 minutes late due to traffic. The stylist who was supposed to do my hair, is still working on a client who looks to be almost done and she couldn't take me in?? They said that there's a mix up with scheduling as they are backed up and asked if I'd like to reschedule? HELL NO! The graduation is TONIGHT. A big "FUCK U" to Bello Salon. Got my refund immediately. Please don't bother wasting your time going there. Take care. read more

I wanted to go blonde, like really blonde. I took it upon myself to put Sunin in my hair and reapply it throughout the day in 110 degree heat. I had a trip planned to go to Hawaii, with orange hair?! Luckily, I continuously go to Florie and she was super understanding, did a treatment and not only saved my hair for the trip, when I got back she did what I wanted the sunin to do(lol). Following her instructions outside of the salon I am happy to say I have the platinum hair color I was going for! She also is a genius at special effects make up for whatever occasion you are going to! Thank you Florie!!! read more

I highly recommend Semhar for black hair care and cute styles! This is such a great salon. Semhar (Sam) has provided great advice on how to care for my hair, which is transitioning from relaxed to natural. She knows how to keep hair healthy, so I've been able to maintain long lengths without split ends! She is also very knowledgeable about color treatment, so I know I'll be seeing her if I decide to treat my grays. Best of all she is respectful of my time so I never spend hours at the salon. read more

Excellent customer service! Specially Stephanie she does take good care of my hair! Love it there

Had a wonderful experience here , and Darla was my stylist. She went above and beyond to make sure that I got the exact haircut for my hair type And lifestyle. She listened to me, and took her time, and was such a joy to talk to as well. It's been so many years since I have ever gone to a hair salon twice (usually there is always something missing, and I go somewhere else the next time), but I am ready to go back again for touch-up trim, and looking forward to being helped by Darla. read more

Cristal is amazing! Not only is she a lovely person but she is a great listener. She paid attention to what I wanted and gave me the cut I really wanted. I could not have asked for a better experience. The salon prices are very fair and their work is top notch. read more

This was the best experience I've had at a hair salon. I've never left so happy and satisfied. Crystal was amazing. Her skills are amazing, she was kind, courteous and a joy to have as a stylist. I truly feel like it was fate that for me to sit in her chair because her joy and sweetness were contagious. I've never felt prettier. I'm a customer for life now. read more

I just moved to Riverside last week and was wanting to get my hair cut. I'm SUPER picky with how my hair is cut but this place had good reviews so I tried it out. Summer cut my hair and I LOVE love loveee it!! She was so fun to talk with throughout the appointment and the haircut was exactly what I was hoping for! If you're looking for a place to get your hair cut, this is it! read more

I used to love it here, but unfortunately it has devolved. A couple of the newest girls are bullies, and I had a particularly bad experience with Summer. Some of them also talk bad about customers after they leave the building- it made me think about what they must say about me once I walk out. I won't be returning, the vibe is foul now. Jasmine, however (I think that's her name) is as lovely as always. I believe she does makeup. read more

I am so very happy to be close to Bello! Ingrid is simply fantastic with helping me transition from bald to my new long-hair style (not as easy as it may sound)... :) Summer also does a great job! All the staff is friendly, and it's a warm atmosphere compared to other salons -- love going here! In fact, it's so wonderful, that I send my employees here!... read more

I would highly recommend this Salon. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Took my son here for a perm. Definitely coming back next time. Perms are trending right now for these teenagers. read more

Looking for a salon with knowledgeable stylists? This is it. Ingrid, and the whole staff are amazing. My hair is healthier than it has ever been! Thanks Ingrid.

Had a haircut with summer and she's truly amazing - super attentive to what I wanted with my hair and made sure it was just what I asked for. Super sweet as well. Great experience! Jasmine was also very friendly. read more

Jazmine my new DOPE ass makeup artist! I've struggled to find a Makeup artist in Riverside as I'm from Los Angeles. Some might ask why do you need your makeup done when you can do it yourself. First off I'm terrible at doing my own make and second it's such a stress reliever to get your makeup done before an event. Plus my mom always got her makeup done before a party & so did my auntie Melly (an aunt that helped raise me and brother). I searched YELP to find someone. Fate lead me to Jazmine! Her care and expertise is top notch. The Salon was clean and everyone was so nice. They served wine & water in addition to the spa like experience. I felt so comfortable I just let Jazmine do her thang! I can't wait until my next event. The last BEST part is my hubs didn't complain about my makeup!!!!! He is usually up in arms when I get my makeup done - saying it's over done or too much! He said it looked REALLY GOOD ! Thanks so much Jazmine! She didn't pay me for this review. Just speaking from the heart! 1000 thank you's Jazmine! Til next time! read more

I came in last year just for a few washes when I was unable to wash my own hair and met Summer. She was super friendly and kind--she made me want to schedule my next haircut with her as well. I've had my haircuts done with her for almost a year now and recently sent my housemates to her as well. She does a great job listening to what I ask for and also takes her time with perfecting the finished look. I'm moving back home after I graduate, but I'll still try to come back because of how much I love Bello! Jasmine is also extremely kind and welcoming, she remembers small things I've told her and always gives me a big hug goodbye. The service here is amazing. read more

I'm new to the city of Riverside, finding a new dentist, doctor and hair stylist is one of the hardest things to find when moving to a new city. I booked a happy hour blow dry service here and left happy. I booked an appointment for my daughter the following week. She was charged a $2 Covid fee hahahaha. Why do you charge a covid fee if you don't practice covid safety protocols?. She was the only person in the salon who wore a mask. Her temp wasn't taken. So why a covid fee? I wasn't charged a fee and if I was. The receptionist didn't tell me. salons have been open for over a year since the "shut down" why still charge a fee if your prices went up? When I booked my appointment online and over the phone. I was not advice of such a silly fee! It's too bad you charge a dumb fee that I don't support therefore I'll be looking for another salon here in Riverside. You replied to my review but didn't answer my questions. read more

Kimberly was amazing! She's so sweet and cheerful! She greeted me at the door, gave me a tour, listened to what I want! I got a treatment and a hair cut. I loved it! Thanks again for making my first time experience with your guys the best! read more

There was a time I would have given Bello Salon a 5-star rating but that ended yesterday. I wanted to book an appointment with Diana, a gifted stylist who makes your time with her enjoyable, for a simple trim. However, I was told by someone other than Diana that a $25 deposit over the phone is now required because: * OTHERS have not kept appointments * It is a policy from the salon I have never had to put down a deposit on a little hair trim. No time consuming extensions, no expensive chemicals ... a trim. Stunned, I asked, "Even though I am a repeat customer in good standing?" The gal said yes and asked if I still wanted to book. I said no thank you. (Beyond being penalized for something I didn't do, why should I trust them with my credit card if they don't trust me?) Later, I received a text stating that they wanted to apologize as: * It was not their fault * New software can't accept an appointment without a deposit Sadly, changing the reason and offering an excuse is not apologizing, it's trying to save a sale. Diana ended up contacting me herself to apologize about the situation. I still think she's great and wish her well. It's just that I cannot support a business that treats people this way. As I stated, I never stood them up for an appointment or cost them money in lost product. I can only think that they are not wanting to service the person who only wants a trim. read more

I went here to buy eufora products, and I enjoy that they are fully stocked! Charlene, the receptionist, is also very great, which is why I'm giving two stars because of her customer service The reason I'm giving 2 stars: I made an appointment in advance. I was asked to pay a deposit for the appointment and I did. I drive here from cities away because I wanted to get my hair done here. And they don't keep my appointment. So I'm not sure what the point of paying a deposit is if they themselves don't keep the appointment. They asked me to either come back later or reschedule another day. Neither option was available to me because of my busy schedule. This occurred because they messed up and decided to prioritize the customer they were already working on. All I needed was a haircut, but they were helping another customer instead because her hair was so damaged. I understand that they tried to fix this by offering me a discount on my rescheduled service that I couldn't even book because, again, my busy schedule. The most that they could do was offer me 20% off of a eufora product I was buying. Thanks, but this doesn't make up for my time wasted driving and waiting the 37 min before they told me they couldn't cut my hair. My end warning: Be careful. You pay for a deposit and that still doesn't guarantee your appointment read more

I specifically booked with Summer because I've seen the blonde work she does and it's gorgeous. She did not disappoint. On top of being an amazing stylist whose talent with coloring is truly amazing, she is so kind and sweet and made the entire appointment wonderful. She's great at what she does and she is absolutely lovely. read more

I was able to get a same day appointment for my daughter. My daughter is only 3 and this was her first ever haircut. They did an amazing job with her and with her hair. She has very curly hair and I have been struggling to find the perfect shampoo/conditioner and leave in products to keep her hair hydrated and looking fresh. They recommended great products and the cut was perfect, not too much but enough!!! Thank you!! I will be going back for myself. read more

Bello Salon - End of the day and still Beautiful hair. - Hair Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

This is a great business that is doing so much to help protect customers and employees during the pandemic. And they are fantastic at color, especially highlights! After getting highlights from a different salon that I was quite unhappy with, I came to Salon Bello for a color fix and correction. Michele knew exactly what I wanted and I was so impressed with how she truly fixed my hair and made it effortless on me to style each day. They ask lots of questions about how you want it to look, how much time you have to spend washing and styling each day, then they deliver on something beautiful. They make me feel good about my hair and that's been a tall order for a long time for me. read more

Brought my daughter in for a wash and style for her graduation. it came out perfect thank you Kim. We will see you soon read more

This is long overdue. Michelle has done my hair for years now and she is an artist. I always leave with my hair looking fabulous. The salon is also very clean and efficient. Thank you ladies at Bello! read more

I totally recommend coming to Bello Salon. The ladies were super friendly, it made me feel like I had known them for a long time. I was unable to get in with Mayra but she asked the owner Michelle if she could take me in on short notice & she did. So amazing. I went in to get my hair dyed gray. Michelle recommend the best solution to my situation without having to damage my hair. She dyed only the front (that's where all my grays are) and it came out beautiful. My hair was not damaged and looked healthy. This is my to go place, the drive is worth it, I live in Menifee. Super happy . GREAT PLACE Rebecca read more

This place is honestly so wonderful. The vibes in the salon are just great. It feels like being in a room full of friends. Everyone I talked to was so nice! It's very clean and organized. Charlene is absolutely incredible. She explained everything she was doing with my hair and made me feel so comfortable. She also offered suggestions and explained any changes she was thinking about making with my hair. The service did take a little bit longer than I was originally told it would (gotta love the thick hair problems, right? LOL), but it was worth it. I'm in love with my hair and this salon will probably end up being my go to salon for the foreseeable future. Definitely highly recommend this salon if you're in the Riverside area! read more

I really love this salon. Mayra is super nice and I love the feeling of my hair when she styles it. She does amazing highlights and helps me decide on what color I should get. I'm super indecisive and she is so patient with me. Also loving my hair more now that I've been using their recommended hair products. Everyone is so complementary, I feel pampered whenever I'm there. read more

Absolutely recommend this salon! I called and Michelle had picked up the phone. I told her I wanted to come in for a haircut. Most places would just give me a time slot and that's it but Michelle wanted to know more about my hair, length, texture etc while on the phone. I got lucky and was able to come in to see Diana for my appt. the receptionist(I didn't get her name) was amazing as well. She gave me a tour of the salon and introduced my to all the stylist, that was so sweet. It made me feel really welcomed. I sat down with Diana and she really took the time to see what I wanted. She gave me some great recommendations for my hair. I have curly hair but I often straighten it so she recommend a few things and a haircut that would look good both ways. I made my f/u appt with Diana and look forward to seeing everyone again. Thank you!! read more

This review is long over due. But I have to give credit where credit is due. The only reason I haven't left a review is out of selfishness. I didn't want people to know how awesome this place is and make it difficult for me to get an appointment. I've been coming here since 2006. I was a grad student at UCR and this place was convenient. Even though I moved, I still come here and won't go anywhere else. Michelle hires the best people! Everyone who has done my hair is excellent. They're kind, professional, they take pride in their work and make sure you're happy. They're knowledgeable and they've always taken their time in explaining things to me and giving suggestions. I feel comfortable here. When I first started coming Christina did my hair, but then she left due to a disability. Then Donna did my hair. She was excellent and I was sad to see her leave ( she decided to be a stay at home mom). While Donna was on maternity leave, I saw Amber twice and she's great. I currently see Lili. I love Lili's creativity and she is very knowledgeable when it comes to color. It is my dream to have my hair completely purple/blue, but sadly it would be frowned upon at my work. Lili has left a few purple strands and has worked her magic to where I can have some of the purple I love but I can still hide it when I have to be "more professional" I've also sat in Yessie's chair twice where Lili was unavailable and Yessie is also great. Michelle hires only the best and I can guarantee you'll love coming here. The Bello Babes work well together and I love the vibe here. read more

Unbelievable terrible service. We booked for a wedding 2 weeks prior to the date of service and was contacted 3 days prior citing their system booked an incorrect time allotment for the service. They could not fix it and ended up canceling my appointment. We were told their system is double booking people and it's out of their hands. Do not book here, you'll be notified 5 minutes before something and it's too late to find another option. read more

My stylist is Amber and she has done a fantastic job blending my dark red hair back to blond. It took almost a year of her unwavering patience, color correction, and lots of conditioning treatments, but my now blond hair is healthier by far than when she started! I highly recommended Amber at Bello! Their entire staff is always, and I mean always, professional, friendly, and willing to educate. Thank you, Amber! read more

We love you Bello Salon. I was initially drawn to the high rating and now I totally get why these ladies are amazing, especially Summer. I came in with the fugliest looking brassy blonde hair but she made my hair so so beautiful. She took so much time and attention on me and we got along really well. This was my first time ever getting it professionally done and it was worth every moment. Thanks Summer hehee read more

I am not fast at reviewing businesses because I like to give an honest review. I love my hair experience every time I come here. They don't rush through the appointment, Michelle is very knowledgeable in her field and the most important thing- she knows how to work with curly hair. I am very picky when it comes to my hair. I am not extreme in my color or cuts but a good haircut can be seen right away. My curls fall beautifully and my color is just perfect. I get a lot of compliments on my hair. It's a bit pricey but you pay for quality. This is a community conscious business too so there is another plus in supporting this business. read more

I've had the worst luck with hair dressers after mine relocated. They keep relocating or I'm just not happy with them. I found Bello salon on here and just so happened to be 8 mins from my house. I gave it a shot because I was in desperate need for a touch up before my birthday this weekend. These ladies are all SOOO nice and welcoming. They even gave me a tour around the salon. Sooo sweet. I was blessed to have been paired up with Diana. (I hope I got that name right I'm terrible with names. Please correct me if in wrong) but she is a hair goddess. I've had blonde hairstyles for years and typically the work she did takes 6-8 hours. She finished in 5. She's FAST and AMAZINGGGGG! I'm so happy with the final product. I already booked my next appointment before the holidays so I secure my spot. read more
