Another great hair experience today at Cardinale's by the owner, Christopher. What I sincerely appreciate about him is he listens to everything I say about my hair. He has given me a total sense of confidence every time I have an appointment with him. I never have to worry if I'm going to like my hair when I leave because it always looks amazing. He is professional through and through and knows what he is doing, no second-guessing. Color is now beautiful and so is the cut, and it's going to stay that way because I will not go to anyone else.

Whitney is the stylist I drive from Riverside to see. No one touches my hair but Whitney! She has been my stylist for 8 years. My hair has transformed since she started caring for my color, cuts and highlights. Whatever you need for you hair Whitney is the stylist who can do it right! She's a wonderful young woman with a Bohemian style. The other stylists are very friendly and the owner is a talented stylist as well. It's a great salon read more

Cardinale Salon is as the aesthetically beautiful. Love their vibe. My stylist, Susan, is amazing. As a newcomer from Orange County, I was really nervous about finding someone on the mountain that could handle curly hair. Not only did Susan handle it, she killed it! She takes all aspects of the cut and complexities of curly hair into consideration. She appreciates your face shape and stature in respect to where your layers will fall. True professional! Lucky me. read more

Best haircut to this day, looks the same as when I walked out of the salon back in October. Booked an appointment within days and had an amazing wash, cut and blow dry by Pam. I wanted to keep my length and little layers as I'm growing out my natural color and she gave me just that! read more

First there is a male stylist who thinks it's ok and funny to make fun of a client because there hard of hearing. Second I was over charged for color and hilights because I have thick hair. Wasn't informed of this extra charge until after my hair was finished. Third there is a stylist with a British accent who talks about every client. She tells the next client all about the previous one. A lot of gossip and dirty secrets. Then she starts slandering someone's application that was left at the front. Not a good experience. Will definitely not go back. read more

Great Salon, awesome decor, amazing stylists & friendly staff. I have received the best cut/color/styling ever from Christopher on multiple occasions and highly recommend his salon for your all your hair & nail needs. read more

Susan was amazing! Hands down one of the best cuts I've ever had. She took so much time to talk to get exactly what looks good for my face shape. I was going to get highlights cause my hair looks so dull but all she did was toner and it made my hair look brand new! IT WAS SO ORANGE BEFORE! Love love love my new hair! Thanks Susan! read more

It's clean great people my hairdresser is Cindy Boyce my stylist I absolutely adore her always does a great job on my hair. You'll have to book early because she's pretty busy, she's a great colorist a great person to have work on your hair. Wonderful stylist... read more

I go to Audri for my color and cuts, and I think she's great. She's even made some good recommendations to make my "bottled blonde" hair a little less high maintenance! That's against her own financial interest, so I really appreciate it. My only complaint is that it can be a little tough to get an appointment, but that's because they're good! read more

So everytime I get my hair done, it's never like the inspo pic I bring. However, that is not the case with Susan! She was detailed with how to get my hair where I want and I got exactly what I was asking for! She kept the intergrity of my hair in mind and it's looks so healthy even with hightlights! She also cut my hair with my curls as a priority and it curls better than a cut I've gotten from a curl specialist I've visited! Blown away! Forsure will be back! read more

My new hair rocks!!! I feel like I could sell real estate, attend a Ball, and/or a concert (maybe even climb tall buildings with a single bound) with this hair. Thanks you Chris! :-) read more

I recommend Chrissy, but they are all very skilled! I came in 6 months ago to fix a bad bleach job and she definitely fixed it , she also helped me on my hair health journey and my hair hasn't looked this great since before I started coloring it. I definitely found my forever place and stylist, everyone was so welcoming and helpful with any questions I had, even if I felt silly asking them. Thanks again Chrissy!! read more

Well I can officially say this is my first haircut on the mountain. I'm very loyal and have had the same barber for over twenty years down the hill. While I don't have a ton of hair, my hair is thin and can be challenging for some. Candace (hope I spelled her name right) just gave me my best haircut. She understood what I wanted and did a perfect job. Customer service is top notch and the salon has a great vibe to it. Would highly recommend. read more

Had a great time at Cardinale Salon. My hair came out great and how I wanted it. Great customer service and nice atmosphere. Liked the vintage vibe of the place. read more

Cardinale Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Cedar Glen, California

Had my hair done this week by another salon and left very unhappy and a little angry. A friend suggested Cardinale in Cedar Glen. I came on on Thur. to see if they could fit me in before my daughter's wedding a week away. Not only did Cindy fit me in, she did what I requested. More importantly, I felt she went the extra mile. I really felt Cindy wanted me to leave happy, she listened and it seemed it was her goal to please. She took me outside before and after to look at my hair in the sunlight. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel like their matters to the person working on their hair. I am thankful Cindy. read more

Thank you x1000, Stephanie! This was my first time at Cardinale (I was recommended to go here by another local) & I found my new go-to stylist. Stephanie was able to style my hair EXACTLY like how I described it, without using a photo. I've only had one other haircut I've liked this much- she really managed to make my hair look cute & professional. The ambience was nice & the other stylists were very friendly. I can't wait to get my hair cut again just so I can come back here! read more

Cardinale Salon - Before & after- "before" required a lot of beanies lol - Hair Salons Near Me - Cedar Glen, California

Been going here for years. Always have Pam cut my hair. Always does a brilliant job! Great place, quiet, great ambience. Pam is awesome!

Oh Ms. Terri..the words I need to tell you how great this woman is. I actually look forward to getting my hair done now!!:) yay! this salon is gorgeous, kind, and very experienced in the hair department. The price can be slightly more than the norm, but it's well worth it. read more

Unfortunately this review starts with rumors and as the time came closer to my appointments these salons merged and everything went down hill from there. I booked my wedding at Skypark not too far from arrowhead village where rumors salon was located. I went in spoke with the ladies and scheduled a run through. Everything went great and as I was leaving the run through the ladies told me I would be getting a call in about a week to settle the details for the final day. They had the number of ladies and a rough idea of what I wanted on each one. Unfortunately, this is where everything began to fall apart. The phone call to fix details never came. I got a phone call about 3 weeks later with a woman telling me that they were merging salons and therefore closing the location so my appointments would either have to move to their new salon or be done on location. I asked for an email with contract and quote. Got the email and asked to make a few changes based on some last minute change to the party. Never got an updated contract and could not get ahold of the woman I had been speaking with. I called the salon asking for her and the women had no idea who she was. They asked me "is that someone who works here or is she a client?" Finally was able to get ahold of her cell number and she said she would get back to me as soon as she could. When it was coming down to 3 weeks before my wedding I started seeking out other salons in the area. I was able to make other arrangements at the Parlour Room (great salon!) and proceeded to cancel my appointment with rumors at Cardinale. To which I never even received a response to that email. Half expected them to show up and expect to do my hair that day. I really hope this was just because of the chaos of the merge and this salon can get these issues worked out to make sure this doesn't happen to any other brides. read more

Super stoked and a little surprised I found this place in Lake Arrowhead and don't have to go down the hill for a good quality and reasonably priced haircut. I can schedule an appointment 1-2 days in advance or less, which is standard for a good salon or barber shop. Jonah does an awesome job with any style request I have for him and I feel assured that I'll walk out the door happy. read more

This is my favorite salon EVER!!! I don't live in Lake Arrowhead anymore but I always wait until I'm home to get my hair cut by Christopher. A little over a year ago I cut about 14 inches off my hair (scary!!) & Christopher gave me the perfect short haircut. He also cut it in a way that it was easy for me to style too :) Cardinale is seriously such an amazing salon-- highly recommend read more

I've been here twice and its really nice, decorated really cool. My favorite part: the neck rests on the sinks are super comfortable (5 stars for the sinks!!!)! Both women I saw were good, but not great enough to return to. I have heard great things about Chris, but I always end up going in last minute and can't get an appointment with him! I gave it 3 stars because the vibe in here felt a bit tense and gossipy. The receptionist was giggling, at one point I saw one stylist lean over and whisper to someone for a long time, and just in general I felt a bit uncomfortable! Other than that, they carry KMS which is an awesome product and they have an excellent retail selection! read more

No need to search elsewhere, Cardinale Salon is a class act! I had my first color/cut with Christopher yesterday, and I couldn't be happier. The salon is wonderful, cozy, and inviting, and everyone working here is professional and friendly. If you're looking for quality professionals who take pride in their craft and listen to what you want, then this is the place to go. I will continue to be a loyal customer and refer others. Awesome overall! A real gem in the woods! Thanks Chris! read more

My fiancé and I came up to Arrowhead for our wedding. We had to trust a salon to do a great job with her makeup and hair. Danielle did a fantastic job with the makeup and Stephanie did an amazing job with the hair. We have no problem driving 2 hours back up the hill for their services for our special occasions in the future. Thanks again for the help Danielle and Stephanie! read more

I am a creature of habit when it comes to my hair. I don't change my cut often and have gone to the same salon for 10 years. But I just moved and needed my hair done. Chris, the salon owner, is young, hip and very knowledgeable about cuts and color. While I said I would get a trim he gently suggested I look through a few hair books just to see if there was anything I liked. Long story short, Chris gave me a new look, the best I ever had, and it was exactly what he said he would do. I'm so happy I found him. When I put a photo of me with my new hair on FB I had over 50 comments! Can't wait to go back! read more

I went there today with lowered expectations. I spent last 14 years in OC, the only place I lived in this country, so being new to the mountains and not knowing what to expect, I was cautious choosing one of 3 places to go to that don't involve driving an hour down the mountain. I picked them because of the yelp reviews. And I will be coming back every 6 weeks for as long as I live here! Cindy was great! She picked my color perfectly, and hair cut as well. I used to think that Toni&Guy was a safe choice no matter what city or country, but she just showed me today what mistakes last person did on my hair. I loved the evaluation, explanation, choices, result, and the real person to chat with too :-) read more

My ONLY bitch is that it can be very difficult to get an appointment with Christopher Cardinale. He is booked well in advance, seriously. I had heard it was worth the wait and, frankly I a, m not a patient person but I am really glad I waited. I am now, OFFICIALLY, sexy! Love my hair, the color, the body. Love it! I wanted to go a little crazy with the color but he chose a more toned down, classier color. I love it. He also did a brazilian blow out which I wasn't sure of but I thought I would try it. It isn't exactly what I had in mind, I admit. I do have to say, I think my hair is better with THIS than what I actually thought I was getting. Christopher, of course is really professional. There was another cray cray customer there (I won't go into details) and the staff was really professional. I do advise, get your appointment as early as possible. It can take forever to get in, like for me, almost a month out. I love my hair though! I can't eat carbs with THIS hair! (gasp!) read more

This was my first time visiting the salon. I went from a bob to an in between pixie and a line cut. I love my hair cut! Many thanks to Susan! She is amazing and very knowledgeable. read more

So thrilled that I found Cardinale Salon! Amazing & friendly service, from the moment I booked my last minute appointment to my arrival; I was greeted & pampered from start to finish. I absolutely love the ambiance of this salon, Susan & Chris are wonderful stylists & amazing souls. I will definitely be back & happy to have found this gem on the mountain! read more

I have been getting my hair done here for 16 years. Great service, clean, and friendly staff. They go above and beyond to make my experience an enjoyable one. read more

I've taken some time to write this review, the last time I was at Cardinale was in September 2017. Just a month before my wedding I went in to get bayalage and a cut. I've been to Cardinale (Susan was the one working on my hair) a few times and I was okay with the previous styles because I was gradually changing my hair- that's why I'm giving this rating a 2 Star review. Well the last time I went in Susan destroyed my hair (my hair was healthy and shiny before this last dye) after 4-5 hours of her bleaching my hair and not properly caring for it I came out with straw like hair ... I was so sad to see my hair this way, on top of this Susan cut my hair too short, but the shortness of my hair isn't an issue my hair can always grow back. *********UPDATE*********** I've recently changed my review on Cardinale salon based on their professionalism and willing to send back an amount requested by me for the services rendered. Even though I didn't have the best experience this one time, this shouldn't speak for the other service I've received before (which susan did an amazing job on along with my cut) as well as their willing to work with me to be sure that I am satisfied . Thank you Christopher for getting back to me and being so kind and thank Susan for the kind gesture. read more

In the past, Ive had really bad experiences with hair salons where my thick hair has been incorrectly cut so naturally I was skeptical of coming in. When I first walked in, I didnt realize I was standing in front of the salon. The decor was vintage & had accents of regality which made the atmosphere for the wait pass by quicker. You get to notice the little details. Now, to the cut, I was blown away by Terri's experience with cutting thick asian hair. I scheduled a color and a cut. My hair was bleached blonde & felt like rough hay & looked like it had been through the gutter. I left the salon with silky, soft , light hair & a boost of confidence. Terri was very gentle with my hair & knew how to layer it so I kept my volume while shaping my face. They also offer hair products free of sulfates which are environmentally friendly & vegan! I will definitely be coming back again, its rare to find a hair dresser that knows how to cut my type of hair. read more

Wow! Such a great experience here, I am so glad I found Christopher's amazing salon. When I first walked in, the place was busy and crowded, so I immediately expected the worst. Turns out, I was getting my hair shampooed and cut less than 5 minutes later. Great conversation with Christopher, the owner, who is extremely professional. The salon itself is stylish, clean, and frankly unexpected in the mountains. This is definitely my new spot. Thank you! read more

After being rudely turned away from A Cut Above in Running Springs, I found my way to Cardinale's Salon. I was warmly greeted and was able to sit immediately. Susan cut my hair after showing me a suggestion for my hair. I felt immediately that I was in professional hands and the result was the same. Very nice atmosphere and vibe. You feel like you're in a salon in LA. Highly recommend. read more

I've lived in Arrowhead for 6 months and had not even tried to find a hair stylist. I had the same hairdresser for 14 years in Manhattan Beach. Changing hair stylists is more difficult than just about anything else. When I started cutting my own hair and totally f@&king it up, I knew it was time. I called a salon in Arrowhead that referred me to Cardinales in Cedar Glen. I was able to get an appointment with Susan later that day. It's a cute, clean salon with some nice people. Susan was AWESOME. She spent a lot of time talking to me about my hair wants and needs. She made me adorable! She knows how to cut curly hair. She showed me how to style it too. The last thing I want to say is that Susan is a doll. Fun and a joy to talk to. I'm going back for sure. read more

Caidie Raymond has been doing my hair for a while now. When she made Cardinale's her new home, I moved right with her. I have never waited for an appointment when I arrive, Caidie is always on time and that is a very important thing for me. I hate showing up and waiting around after my appointment time. She performs excellent coloring and my hair is the healthiest it has been in many years. The receptionist are always pleasant and the salon is warm and welcoming. I give an A+ to Cardinale Salon and Caidie Raymond!!! read more

I love the Cardinal salon! I have been coming here for over the past threes years and couldn't imagine getting my hair done by anyone else other then Chrisopher. Even with a recent move that makes my drive time close to a hour but its definitely worth it! Amazing staff and adore the ambiance. Best place around.. read more
