This review is for expert hair stylist Marina Romero. I have seen her twice a week going on more than 2 years now. We were so fortunate to have found her after we moved from Manhattan Beach to make the OC our home. Marina (from the US, and she has has an Italian heritage) is incredibly professional and extremely warm, a calming presence, fun to talk to, educated, well-traveled, keeps up on trends, she is so kind, and Marina is SO good and excels in all areas with different types of hair. She can get along and be professional with people from all walks of life and individuals with different personalities - so very professional in that regard. (I found Marina when my hair color needed to be corrected in the worst way, I tried 4 people before miraculously finding her!). Marina has now also been an OC girl as she has lived by the coast for many years now. Her skills and her demeanor are wonderful (she is a joy to chat with) and her expertise as a hairstylist is beyond excellent - I am talking about her ability to complete: hair dye/color (they do this at this salon!!!), men's hair cuts, extensions, full MAKE-UP, children's hair cuts, up-do's and blow-outs (hers stay clean and hold - and I have had blowouts on a weekly basis for the past decade, Marina's are the best by far!!). The salon is clean and neat. The stylists and staff have comraderie and are all sweet, courteous, and professional.. My husband is of Irish/English heritage, Marina does his hair cuts and it just looks amazing and the haircut is always completely even as well. Marina is like a superwoman when it comes to hair and makeup. She - without a doubt - has a gift for this field. Also, one of the things that I love most is that Marina books clients in a way to add time, so she is never rushing, she builds in time for anyone running late. Our family and my husband's job is so scheduled, to put it mildly, Marina has not forgotten or been late for an appointment in over 2 years. We do not know what our family would do without Marina! We like to come earlier (like 9am to noon, living by the beach we always tend to go early before crowds or late to avoid crowds that may come in) there is a big parking lot right by the salon. My kinder daughter absolutely adores Marina as well. Thank you Marina! read more

First time booking a blow dry and style here and had an amazing experience! I was so lucky to have Meggy as my hairstylist! She made me feel welcomed from the second I walked in. We had great conversation the whole time and she was able to get my hair looking amazing for my special night! I definitely will be coming back in the future for a special occasion. read more

Trisha is the owner of this very stylish salon that makes you feel you're up in the trees! Summer is excellent and my favorite hair stylist! Everyone is great and very talented. Located in the middle of the cute village of Laguna Beach off of Forest and Beach Avenue! I recommend Belo Blow Dry for anybody that wants fabulous looking hair ! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Maggie is absolutely AMAZING!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She took me in as a last minute walk-in on a Sunday afternoon, and I could not be more obsessed with my color and cut! read more

Gina did my blowout today and I had a fabulous experience. We talked kids, schools, dogs, holidays, everything. Most importantly, she did an amazing job. I got exactly what I wanted. This shop is located on upper Forest Avenue in downtown Laguna Beach. With lower Forest blocked off, you may have to search around for parking on busy weekends or peak times but it's totally worth it. Luckily today it was a rainy Monday so I parked a few blocks away in the Glenneyre structure near the library. This location is upstairs and it's bright and airy. They always offer water and make sure you're comfy. Highly recommended. read more

Belo Salon Laguna Beach - Stylist Kody was excellent with my Blow out! - Hair Salons Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Terrible service done by Kody Thiel! He ruined my hair with the ugliest highlights I've ever received in my life! It wasn't until I got home when I parted my hair to see the uneven , thick streaks he put on my hair. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Looked nothing like the inspo picture! I was so upset, I booked an appointment asap at another salon to fix his mess![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now, I have major damage from too much processing from fixing my hair. Do not recommend him! The other girls working at that salon seem nice and their work looked good. Kody, however, not at all! read more

Belo Salon Laguna Beach - Picture from the proposal- my hair stayed so well! - Hair Salons Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

I got a blowout and my stylist (can't remember the name) was efficient and the look was very similar to the photo I provided. My only downside was that I needed to wear the look for 2 days and at other salons, they load me up with the product I need to make it last. Here, it was having trouble holding its shape by the evening. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Patricia and her team are absolutely amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My daughters and I have been going there for over two years now and every time we have gone not only have we been treated like princesses but our hair is absolutely amazing as well.

Amazing experience!! Maggie Lamb is an absolute doll and I'm so happy I found her! She was so sweet, kind and helpful!! We talked about what I was looking for, what I liked and disliked and I just felt she took her time with me to ensure she knew what I was looking for without making me feel rushed! She did exactly what I wanted, actually even better than I expected! My color turned out beautifully and she cut my hair in a way that best complimented my face shape and just made it look thicker and healthier overall! She was easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable there. Not to mention the salon has such a cozy and cute vibe! I highly recommend and I can't wait for my next appointment! read more

My stylist, Maggie, was amazing for my blow out! From the wash to the style, she was gentle with my hair and did an exceptional job carefully drying and curling it to produce the most beautiful beach waves. My hair felt so soft and looked so beautiful, I will literally schedule my time in OC to revolve around a blowout from her going forward! Thanks Maggie!! read more

Beautiful & bright salon with expert stylists... the staff is warm & friendly ... I love this place!

My first time having my hair done in Laguna Beach, a lovely young lady named Lane gave me a phenomenal blowout. She took her time and asked what I would like to achieve. She listened intently and gave me more than I could ever expect. She was charming, sweet and professional . Lane has skills. She is a true gem. I will be back to see Lane next time I'm in town. read more

This salon is awesome! My mom and I went to get blowouts and we had the best time chatting with Kody who was doing our hair! He offered us beverages and played Taylor Swift the whole time! Our hair looked fab afterwards! 10/10 recommend this place!!! read more

My friends and I booked appointments here before a wedding and all three of us were so happy with the end product! I got my hair and makeup done by Breanna and she was superbly talented and had a great personality. If I lived closer, I would be a regular! (Open a LA location please!) read more

All the girls are amazing! Everyone is really nice and great at helping you get what you need for your blowout or hair color or updo.

I didn't want to pay $350+ to a hair & makeup artist for each of my pre-wedding events so I went to Belo instead. It was worth it!! I got hair and light makeup done for 2 different events on back-to-back days - hair by Kody and makeup by Breanna, and it was perfect both days! For the second day I was early and they were able to accommodate me, and I was in a rush so Breanna even agreed to start on my make-up while Kody was still finishing my hair to maximize efficiency and get me out of there early. I am so happy that I placed my trust in them for my wedding week!! read more

I've been coming to Belo since it has opened, and I can't say enough great things. Perfect location, and great service. I feel safe and well taken care of, even during these crazy Covid times. All of the safety measures taken have not affected their amazing services and joyful attitudes. Thank you, Belo, for my beautiful hair and for making my day! read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience at Belo. The staff was so professional and extra safe regarding the COVID restrictions. Everything was sanitary and finally gave me the salon satisfaction I've been craving! Jessica Dawson is worth the wait to book! She has magic hands to say the least. She transformed my homeless looking hair into something chic and stunning that I'm beyond proud show off! I can't thank the Belo team and Jessica enough for another incredible hair day! read more

A great spot in town to get a blowout. However I have found it difficult to secure appointments. Seem to be under staffed even on a Saturday. read more

This place was great. I made an appointment online for a blow out with Maranda. I got seen right away even thought I was 10ish minutes early, and she did a great job. We talked pretty thoroughly about the blowout and she absolutely nailed it! It took about an hour from start to finish and it lasted all night long. Next time I'm in laguna, I'll definitely come back. read more

Belo BDB is a hidden gem in LB!! Great location and parking is never an issue which is huge if you're from the area. A few months back I signed up for their blowout membership and I'm very happy. I like all of the stylists but Brianna and Cody are my go to but ...like I said everyone is great. read more

I can't be happier with Jessica . She fixed my hair color which was totally wrong and brassy and matched perfectly my skin tone. She is amazing and she knows what she is doing. I am so happy with my hair! Great blow out too ! read more

Hands down amazing blow out spot. They take their time to do great job. Visited on vacation, wish this was in my hometown.

Alexa is the best! I wanted to go lighter on my dark hair and she did an amazing job. I trust her entirely, she is also very friendly and gives my frizzy hair a beautiful blow out. My hair has never looked better. Thank you Alexa read more

Belo Salon Laguna Beach - My hair after - Hair Salons Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Belo is a hidden gem in Orange County! Every stylist brings so much love & talent- I am just so impressed! Having come from many years in big salons in Newport and Costa Mesa, I didn't realize what kind of care for quality could exist! Literally lost half my hair at Tease Salon last year having my hair fried from over-processing and then I found Riley at Belo. She literally has brought my hair back to life while still maintaining the color I love so much. She is always walking me through how to keep my hair as healthy as can be even if that means doing less. I also have done tape-ins with her that were incredible!! During the pandemic as things were closed, she even took me product to my home to make sure I could remove them safely while the salon was closed. I call her my "hair angel" for a reason. She just amazes me- I am so grateful to her & the salon! read more

This review is far overdue! I've been going to Belo since they first opened. So, about 7 years or so now. Finding a stylist in Orange County that can work with my hair is challenging because mine is so curly. However, Belo has always done an amazing job at taking this into account. They provide me with products and service that is relative to the care needed for my hair type. Since discovering this salon, I haven't wanted my hair done by anyone else. read more
