Great salon feel and easy to get in. Staff is really nice and attentive to your needs. They offer drinks, sodas, and sometimes mimosas. Been coming here for over 5 years, and recommend you try it out. read more

The services provided at Che Bangs the Salon have kept me coming back since the first day I walked in the door. I have recommended their services to many of my friends as well. Tonya, owner and sytlist, is an expert in hair coloring techniques and her ability to recommend a style suited to one's face and hair texture is unique. Her salon is always clean and comfortable. Her staff is friendly and professional. If you're looking for a salon that meets these needs, Che Bangs the Salon will be a winner. Dawn N. read more

I came here for my first real salon experience EVER and I loved it! Walt was incredibly friendly when I first walked it, and because I was early he gave me a manicure with Heidi. She was incredibly sweet and didn't just "paint my nails". She did a good job and showed me a few tricks for at home touch ups. Then my appointment for hair with Kristine was fantastic! She was energetic and talkative, and made me feel very comfortable. I was doing a drastic style change (drastic for me, anyway), and she told me to just relax and enjoy the process because I was going to look good! And I love my hair. I haven't had that fresh salon hair feel in so long, and I just felt amazing the rest of the day. Thank you so much for an incredible first salon experience. I'll be back for sure! read more

I had my haircut done by Lupe. She was very precise, friendly, and patient. I have a lot of hair, which is usually frustrating when I get it done (for me, and most likely the stylist too), but she was great dealing with it. I'm returning for future cuts and would also like to try their color services. read more

Best pedicure around. Kim is so careful, attentive, and does a quality service with lovely products. The Whole CheBang pedicure is where it's at. Wine and snack platter just makes you feel so pampered. read more

The owner gave me the haircut. I was expecting to have the best service given that she is the owner. Not the case. She was dismissive about my ideas for MY hair and ignored my requests. She didn't listen to me and had a bit of an attitude. Not at all what I'd expect from the owner. The hair cut was bad and I will not return. read more

This place is amazing for nails!!! Always comes out beautiful. They really take their time and make sure everything looks flawless. 10/10. I'm taking a break from acrylics but will definitely return! All of the staff here is so friendly and makes the experience even that much better. read more

I've been having Ashleigh cut my hair for two years now, and she does a fabulous job each and every time. I know her other clients are happy, too, because I've had to start booking appointments a little farther in advance! Every time I go in the salon, someone offers me a drink right away (although I've never taken them up on it, so I don't know what they serve). On Saturday mornings they have snacks, and then they send you a special deal for your birthday. I'm so happy that I live just down the street from Che Bangs so that I don't have to look any farther for a great haircut! read more

The owner's husband went above and beyond to help me when I was locked out of my truck while I was getting my hair colored. He went out to the parking lot to meet the AAA guy and even came back to get my AAA card from me so my hair coloring would not be interrupted. I did not ask him to do this. My hair looks awesome and I will definitely be going back. read more

The lovely ladies here @ the salon are all very talented and just all around awesome! Shannon does an amazing job of taming my wild mop of hair on my head! And Tracey does an excellent job with my nails! Shirley can shampoo like a champ! Tonya is a wildly inventive dancer, btw! Thanks Che Bangs for changing my life with awesome hair and nails and friends!!! Love you all!!! MUAH!!! read more

Went back for another pedicure wanting to confirm that my previous very good experience could be at least repeated. Full treatment exceeding my expectations. Professional technician worked magic on my calloused heels. Left feeling lighter on my feet and made another appointment for a few weeks out. Lots of choices out there, but why bother. Go with the best when you can, and very affordable. 5 stars up from 4 for the continuity and class of service. Will let them work with my hair next.... Stay tuned! read more

Been a customer since 2014, still enjoy my hair and manicures experiences here. All are great but especially appreciate Walter's personalized attention. He was great in accommodating a recent appointment change. Tonya and Kaleena do an awesome job with my hair and Kimmy's manicures are wonderful. I recommend Che-Bangs any chance I get! read more

I made an appointment after my mom-in-law recommended this place. I went in about 2 weeks ago for a Shellac manicure after constantly being disappointed with local nail salons (not to mention their terribly rude services). The atmosphere at Che Bangs is so warm and welcoming. I was immediately helped and offered cookies and a drink. They're so friendly and their prices are great for what they guarantee. I mentioned being disappointed at local nail salons because the gel began chipping on day two. At Che Bangs, they have a 2 week guarantee and I can see why. My nails STILL look great and feel strong. They also sent me a 15 dollar credit for providing them with feedback. I am so grateful I found a "home" after years of searching!!! read more

Chè Bangs is amazing! Shannon is so sweet and great with my hair. My hair pretty thick and takes a long time and she always takes good care of me and I never feel rushed out. She is great with color and cuts and I'm pretty picky :) read more

Nice place. Great service. Very professional. I like the layout of the salon. It gives the customer who is getting their hair done their privacy.. Jesse did a great job on my hair. He was professional, thorough, attentive and knowledgeable. I was surprised how reasonably priced they were for such a nice establishment. Highly recommend. read more

Che Bangs Salon in San Marcos, CA is one of those small businesses that one might have thought had all but disappeared, faded off into the American landscape, barely noticeable, nearly invisible to the eyes of the consumer. And it's most certainly naked to the myopic spectacles the current American corporate business behemoths that dominate our daily culture, for those selfsame corporate titans have all but swallowed up the small businesses proprietary. Ironically, "Big Business" America seems to have forgotten its roots. Yet the single most key element and characteristic that helped make American business so successful I ask is, "What?" A quality product? "Yes,"is my reply; that's key no doubt. But wouldn't you agree that this quality product must be delivered to the customer, with and by, superior customer service--in a manner that's genuine and with true care and concern for each individual customer? Steve Jobs knew this fact inherently, and it is (I believe) a chief reason for Apple's (and thus an industry exception) towering corporate presence and its continued and sustained dominance and success; walk into any Apple retail store or simply call its product support line, and you'll find what's right there at Che Bangs--just simply "good old fashioned,"100% care and concern for each customer's service and satisfaction, all delivered with superior quality hair cuts. In the one whole year that I've been frequenting Che Bangs for my men's hair service, I've come to actually look forward to my hair appointment. And I'm a man! When I enter Che Bangs it's plain and simply "all about me." Wow. What, what a concept, hah? Take, for example, the following description of my typical Che Bangs' visit: Imagine that before I even sit down, Walt Turner (Che Bangs' Salon Service Manager & "CEO") has already asked me, "Mr. Valois, what can I get you to drink? A glass of red or chilled white wine? Some ice or hot tea, coffee--a mimosa perhaps? By the way, can I offer you an hors d'oeuvres? Or perhaps a desert to accompany your beverage?" And before I know it, Tanya Turner (proprietor & master stylist ) always makes it a point to single me out and take the take time to walk over to my chair and great me with a genuine smile and asks, "So how's Robert today? How's your mother doing?... and your three children?" Actually, now that I think about it, my once-a-month Che Bangs' appointment is the only single hour where I can completely relax; my young and quite talented stylist Jasmine knows to leave me to myself throughput the duration of the 25-30 minute massage--and this particular massage is just "to die for:" it begins with the face, where the gentle, soft, soothingly oiled hands of my stylist slowly applying, supplying, rubbing into my face sweet-smelling, aromatic oils, all surrounding. Then massage-stylist Jasmine slides her hands to the my clavicled shoulder muscles. I can almost feel the synapses in my brain fire in rapid succession, signaling my body to be calm, and I settle into to complete relaxation. Then comes the massaging of the whole upper 1/2 of the lower back. Finally, she finishes by returning back to my face, cheeks, then to my temples and head. Has 15 minutes past? Now comes massage service part two: steaming hot, humid towels are gently, strategically layered upon my face, piece by piece. My face becomes completely covered, only leaving room to breathe wholly through both mouth and nose. Jasmine quietly slides an ottoman underneath my feet--and replies, "be back in 15 minutes, Robert." And I fall into a Rip VanWinkle, seemingly long, meditative slumber....Jasmine awakens me. Time now for the next phase of the Che Bangs's men's hair service, where as we two chat primarily about me and my life, she effortlessly cuts my hair with perfection and with attention to every detail, even trimming my eyebrows. I always walk out of Che Bangs feeling a bit resurrected and looking as if I'm, "styling & profiling," as slang lingo goes. In short, I couldn't give a higher recommendation for a hair salon for both men and women. I know the latter to be true, for the Che Bangs' staff treat my 89-year-old mother as if she's a queen. I suggest trying Che Bangs at least once--I would guarantee with absolute certainty that, afterwards, you'd never go elsewhere for your salon services. Robert Valois read more

I was referred to this salon by a friend of mine and I don't regret trying it out for the first time. The team that works here are the best in wanting to make sure that the customer has a great experience. Jasmine knew right away what to do with my hair and got it right. At the conclusion of my appointment I was given some shampoo samples and was told to expect a gift for my birthday. read more

My daughter got her hair did by Jasmine. She listen to what my teenage daughter wanted blue highlights and a new haircut side bangs. Looked great and daughter was Happy read more

I tried Che Bangs salon because it was close to home, and I dislike driving a long ways. Neighbors had said that Shannon was good at hair cutting, and they were right. She is also outstanding at highlights. Highlights are more expensive than at my other place, but the end result, and the time taken on my hair to get it just right, make it worth it. Everyone is very friendly and they always offer a drink in a nice goblet! It is a great salon, and soon they promise wifi so we can be productive if we want to. Sandy M read more

A little tardy on my review. Jesse did a wonderful job on my hair. He listened to what I wanted and made sure that I left happy. He was personable and sincere. My husband loved my hair and I actually had someone in the supermarket stop and tell me how beautiful my hair was weeks later and that has never happened to me. Hair care products weren't pushed on me, which was refreshing. Walter made me feel at home making sure I always had something to drink and snack on. Great experience and end result. read more

I've only been going to Che Bangs for a few months, but have a close friend who's gone there for years and suggested I try it. I did, and I am SO happy! The salon is elegant without making you feel as though you have to get dressed up just to go in. The customer service is absolutely stellar! Beginning with Walt, who goes out of his way to make you feel like a VIP client, and every other member of the staff with whom I've come in contact displays the same welcoming attitude. Each time I'm there, as I observe other clients, it's obvious that they're receiving expert individual attention whether their service is hair or nails. My routine services include the "Full Che Bang" Spa Pedicure (which is nothing short of f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s!) as well as mini "touch-up" pedicures to go along with whatever new color of shellac is going on my nails. Heidi's expertise and conscientious attitude is impressive and her personality is delightful! If you're looking for a great salon, filled with friendly and knowledgeable people, not to mention all the bells and whistles normally only found at much higher priced salons... I highly recommend Che Bangs! Debra N. - Vista, CA read more

Just had my hair cut by Holly. Saw an ad on Facebook and took a chance. She was fantastic and listened to me and my concerns. Would go back again! The salon was very nice and I was treated like an old friend! read more

Great Salon. Experienced stylists and colorists. Shannon, Tonya and Dana are all great.

I've been going to Tonya for almost 10+ years and I love how she does my hair cut and color. I get alot of compliments on my hair color so that tells you that she does a great job. Everyone is really nice and the salon is always clean and tidy. Great job ladies. read more

What can I say.... I love these guys!!!! There is always a smile on everyone's face and they know me when I call. I have referred multiple people to them and they have been so happy with their hair! I LOVE SHANNON!!! My hair is so perfectly cut everytime. I will not allow anyone else to touch my hair. My husband and both of my boys are dedicated to Che Bangs as well. It is just a great place to go! read more

I seriously love this place. I've only had Tonya work on my hair, but all the other girls there are so friendly that everyone there makes you feel at ease. The reason I have only gone to Tonya is because she is AMAZING with color! I've gone to other places and people to get my hair done, but it is always a mistake because Tonya is the best! read more

I met Tonya, the owner, over three years ago at their grand opening. I am a lady of color with wavy hair and a lot of hair. I was doing my own hair and went to a bar bar to cut my hair. I had lost faith in hair salons due to beauticians lack of knowledge in relaxing and coloring a woman of color's hair. At the opening, Tonya spoke with confident she could work with my hair. I have been so satisfied I would not consider looking for another salon. The team at Che-Bang are warm and friendly creating a great place to get my hair done and hang out for a moment.. read more

This was my first time ever coloring my hair and it turned out amazing! Tonya did a great job and I will not go anywhere else! I went from a strawberry blonde to a brunette and it looks amazing! I have already gotten many comments and its only been a few hours since I got it done!! Great service, great prices! I cannot wait to come back!!!! read more

Great place for a guy to go and get a haircut. The girls are cute, the service is great, and they give the best head massage in escondido. lol. read more

Went based on reviews/free haircut. I don't think I've ever been this disappointed with a hair cut ever. Granted my hair wasn't in good shape to start, but I'd rather have kept it the length and style that it was prior to my free hair cut. After straightening my hair to see the cut in its final form, it's evident that a 6 year old could have done better. The layers are super choppy and doesn't flow with the rest of my hair. It's like a Meg Ryan hair cut from the 90s gone horribly wrong. Safe to say I will not return. This place just backs me up on why I have trust issues with people touching/styling my hair. read more

Always very friendly. My kids love coming here too. Yelp is making me write more, but I think that summarizes it.

I LOVE my gf Kari that has cut my hair in the past! BUT....she is down in San Diego and I have moved up here to the outskirts of society in North County at the Escondido/San Marcos border. So it was time to find someone new to do something about my shaggy grown out style. And Jonnie (Jonny?) sorry don't know the correct spelling yet, it's only been 1 visit....filled the bill. She came recommended and I've driven past Che Bangs a million times. Well, I would definitely recommend the salon and the stylist! I went in with a photo and came out looking very sleek and stylish! As a matter of fact, I got many compliments that same evening! Jonnie really knows her stuff and was very familiar with what to do with my 'baby-fine' limp hair. I haven't tried any of the other services but they seem to be full service, nails, and hair. Thanks Jonnie for the great job and I should also mention they are VERY reasonably priced! read more

What a great little escape! I love this salon. Tonya has been cuting/coloring my hair for years and I am always happy-even my husband comments on how great it looks when I come home. Kimberly does a fabulous job with manicures & pedicures too. read more

Moved to Escondido/ San Marcos from Beverly Hills. Anxious about finding an easy-care haircut that didn't look careless and dopey (definitely not an old lady bubble cut). Tonya understood and has done a fine job of giving me exactly what I want. (Better than the BH salon and half the price.) read more

For my first time I was so surprised on how amazing the whole experience was! From every little detail I was happy and relaxed as well! I will always go to Che Bangs for all my beauty needs! read more

Che bangs is one of a kind! The stylists are very sweet and take the time to do a great job! I've been going to this salon for about a year and I haven't yet been disappointed! They offer great prices and a friendly attitude. Highly recommend them! read more
