Best Hair Ever!!!!!! I've had my hair highlighted for almost 35 years and I have never been so pleased with my unruly damaged beyond hair. But, I found a treasure in Sarah S! She's AMAZING!!! My hair felt like silk! It was the best most natural color and highlights I've had since I was a teenager. Because I have a horrible back she made it very accommodating by changing positions and keeping check of my comfort. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sarah Call today, she fills up fast. read more

I went to Dana to achieve this balayage look. She was very sweet but unfortunately I left extremely disappointed in the outcome. I am not sure if she's not used to working with dark hair but I left with an unblended and very brassy ombré look. Not to mention my "face framing highlights" turned out to be chunky streaks. Unfortunately it was nothing I was looking for - I tried to give it some time - thinking I could like it, but I just couldn't bare the coppery tones. Thankfully she was accommodating to my feelings about my hair and I was able to receive some of the money back. Very unfortunate though I will have to go elsewhere to get it fixed. read more

See all

I love this salon! The ladies here are amazing. I saw Tina for a cut and style and she is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She really takes the time to talk with you about what you want from your hair and how to best achieve it. read more

Chloé Olson took care of me and she did a fabulous job mixing highlights and lowlights in my hair as well as giving me the greatest layers when trimming it. I left feeling like a star and received tons of compliments on my hair since. She is also the kindest little lady, displays great enthusiasm and is a pleasure to talk to. I definitely recommend Chloe to anyone looking at getting color or cut! Nice to find someone who's equally talented at both! Caroline H read more

When I walked past this salon a while ago I was in awe with the decor! I'm so happy my hairstylist Jamie Rosa is here in the Village now! This salon is so beautiful and hip! You feel like a million bucks getting pampered here and leave feeling even better! Such a fun and inviting space. The chairs are comfy and cool. The lighting is great. So much attention to detail went in the design of the salon thanks to Dana! I wish she would decorate my home! Even the towels were super soft and plush. All these little things add so much to a positive experience at a salon! Looking forward to my next appointment and I will be referring new clients and friends to Black and Brass! On a side note.. can I just come hang out and work from the waiting area?! Haha love it! Thank you ladies! read more

I just moved to Carlsbad and asked my previous wonderful hair stylist Marina to help me with a search of a new hair stylist. This proves it really is a small world, her best friend is a stylist in LA and she recommend Dana. Dana work with her best friend in the past. Today I feel myself again as Dana was amazing and my hair feels healthy again. Both Marina and Dana have the same wonderful personality and hair color skills. Dana also gave me hints on things to do and places to try in Carlsbad. I'm so thankful! I highly recommend scheduling a hair appointment with Dana. read more

If you are looking for an amazing hairstylist well then look no further b/c Nikki is the best!! Nikki has such a heart of gold and believes in what she does. Nikki is very personable and outgoing.

She will make you feel welcomed and give you the confidence you deserve while sitting in her chair. Nikki is truly a good friend of mine now and I am glad I met her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great cut, trim, color or just someone to talk to for advise. She loves hiking, dogs, jeeps and downhill mountain biking :-) See you soon Nikki!!! read more

Hao is by far the best nail lady ever!!! She was recommended to me by a friend who also feels the very same about Hao. I will never go to another place to get my nails done. I have been to countless places and nothing or no one compares to Hao's work! She is a nail angel goddess.l I have never been more happier with my nails. She does AMAZING AMAZING pedicures and shellac gel manicures. I promise you won't be disappointed.I Highly highly recommended her! You can reach her at (760)718-2253 read more

Dana Boyle is great. She is fast and she is very good at cutting hair. More expensive than a barber shop (for men), but much better quality. read more

Dana does my keratin treatment, cut, and color. Best I've had in a really long time. It was the first summer I didn't have gross hair. No frizz and the color didn't fade. Both my husband and I go to her when we are in town. read more

Dana Boyle is a color Goddess. I travel a lot for work and whenever I'm in town, she is one of my first stops. I have thick, dark (Latin) hair can which turn brassy and orange in the wrong hands, but Dana knows exactly what to do to get the right tone of highlights. I am extremely happy. I highly recommend the olaplex treatment too, which keeps my hair shiny and soft. I can't wait to be back. My hair has never looked and felt better. read more

Dana did my hair and make up for my wedding at the beginning of January. She did an AMAZING job! She listened to what I had in mind and then made it a thousand times better. She knew exactly what would look great in person and in my wedding photos! I am so glad I used Black and Brass for my wedding! read more

Nikki did my hair and I love it! Wanted it short with layers and she help customized it with my hair type so it wouldn't be flat or wired looking. Gave an amazing shampoo / head massage, will definitely be back read more

I can highly recommend Nikki who just gave me a beautiful full highlight and a precision haircut. She has been cutting hair for over 30 years and has an excellent manner and technique. She is very skilled, very caring, and very easy to be with-she is genuine. She knows how to work with curly hair and really puts her heart into her work. I have never had such an energetic shampoo! Felt great!! Like you are her only client!! She is a class act! I have been so disappointed with the quality of haircutters out there since my regular guy retired after 20 years. Nikki was the cream of the crop and actually better than my old guy! What a find! The color and the cut are fantastic! read more

Popped in for a quick haircut. Nikki did a great job, very professional and it's the best haircut I've had in a long time. Check her out, I know you will be pleased. read more

Dana is awesome. I connected with her through The Abbey Catering's wedding package for wedding hair and makeup services, and I have also been getting my hair cut with her since then, so this review covers both. In terms of haircuts, she has a great eye for what your face and what the current state of your hair are in need of. I first met Dana after a pretty botched cut, and she immediately put me at ease with her ability to assess exactly what was needed to fix the mess (while providing a much-needed dose of humor to said mess). She has been spot-on with haircuts ever since.. After my first regular cut, I then met with Dana for my bridal hair and make up, and she also did not disappoint there. I went in for my trial appointment, and she was able to pick out themes from the pictures I printed out that I didn't even know existed ("Oh I can see you like..." -- things I didn't even know were similar across the pictures but were 100% true).. She also patiently listened after the first go-round (where she tried the awful extensions I had brought with me...) and quickly course-corrected. She somehow even outdid herself for my wedding day - both my hair and my make-up were even more stunning than in the trial. That was true across all of my bridal party who had their hair and/or makeup done by Dana and her assistant Jamie on my wedding day - they conquered everything from "this is exactly what I want" to "I have no idea what I want" with an equally fun and graceful approach. I would highly recommend them whether you need a trim, a new look, or a glamorous updo - they will make you look great, and you'll have a ton of fun in the process. read more

I've been salon shopping for over a year now and haven't found a place I really like. I came here for a cut and balayage and can't say enough good things about the place. The salon: new and super stylish, retro vibe-complete with a cute waiting area to sit while your hair is processing. The service: finally a stylist who took the time to listen to what I was looking for in a cut and how much time I can spend each day styling (not much). Anyways, everything turned out perfect. I love my long layers and gorgeous coloring. Dana was super hilarious without being overbearing or overly chatty. Highly recommend Black and Brass! read more

What a Fabulous salon experience I'vehad at this shop! Ive been to many salons over the years and this salon has a Cool Vibe and very experienced staff! My stylist was Nikki and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! I get so many compliments on my new color and style and she was very attentive to my needs and requests!!!! This salon Rocks!! I Love it!! read more

I highly recommend Dana and Black and Brass. I've followed Dana from a few salons and wouldn't have it any other way. She always understands what I want and nails it every time. She's Vidal Sassoon trained and extremely good at both cut and color. I've had many hairstyles and colors over the years and she always gets it right. Plus, her salon is gorgeous and welcoming. I truly enjoy my time there. Make your appointment now bc she's a hot commodity! read more
