I wear my hair very long and Eddie was successful in layering my hair enough to Have it perform and sit nicely while also still keeping it long! I left the salon with shiny hair light ceiling, but the best part my hair was still kept successfully long that not a lot of people noticed that I actually got a haircut! Which for the women who like to wear their hair long is honestly the best feeling ever! Eddie knows exactly what he's doing so much so that I would take a flight from Big Sky Montana back to Laguna in three months just to get my haircut again! Thank you so much for this positive experience and the best haircut ever! Bravo!

Wow... I'm shocked to even have to write this review. I will start out by saying that the owner has…read moreoffered me a full refund. I am going to take her up on that, considering the fact that I left this place with a botched haircut from a stylist named Cassandra. I did not let the owner know that my cut was unblended and poorly executed, because I had not noticed until yesterday. This was after I got a closer look at my hair and after the blowout faded. Unfortunately, as clients, we don't get to see all the mistakes when we leave the salon with a blowout because it hides a lot. Especially with layers. I'll spare you the all gritty details because I've already made the owner aware of Cassandra's awful attitude. However, for context, I saw her twice total and got a weird vibe from her the first time, as she made me feel like an imposition for having dense hair and running into her next appointment. Mind you, I considerately got there 10 minutes early to give time for my first appointment consult. She was visibly annoyed throughout the appointment and did not try hiding it. When I got there for my second appointment (again, I wanted to give the benefit of doubt because I did like the results first time around), I was met with immediate hostility. I was so confused. I'm a nice person?! So, as soon as I realized that she wasn't having an off day (during my initial experience) and this just happened to be how she is, I was concerned. She was unbelievably passive aggressive and rude. At one point, I told her assistant that he was doing a great job because I could tell that he was just starting out. Cassandra interjected and said, "he is doing a good job but he needs to learn." Who says that to a client...? And why not just let the man enjoy a compliment? When I called the owner to let her know, she did express that Cassandra is not a warm person. But this went way beyond that. I'll post photos of my botched cut as well as the inspiration photo that I showed her- which by the way, when I presented my inspo photo, Cassandra asked, "what's wrong with that girl's face?" You would think this would be common sense, but when your client is showing you an inspiration photo, maybe don't make fun of it. Again, common sense. All in all, I got a bad hair cut with extra attitude on the side. I'll pass on both.

Indigenous Salon is truly something special. My husband and I have been going here since the day…read morethey opened, and we've watched firsthand how much heart, passion, and hard work Deanna and Ryan put into their business.

What really sets Indigenous apart is the combination of talent and genuine care.

After all these years, we can honestly say that Indigenous Salon is a place we trust completely. If you're looking for talented stylists, beautiful results, a welcoming atmosphere, and owners who truly care about their business and their clients, I can't recommend Indigenous Salon highly enough.

This review is for expert hair stylist Marina Romero…read more 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!

They refused to take it back, saying the manufacturer didn't give them a return. I went in there to support my local business, but when it came to me getting support upon returning the item they wanted to sell me another product or brush that may help the coverage. I told the sales girl that I used the same brush I used for my Bare Mineral powder so it was not the problem and I wasn't willing to take the loss of this product to buy one that "may" work better with no return on it either if it didn't work better. I decided to check on Amazon to see if they carried the brand and what their return policy was, and they said right on their page that returns were fine. And on top of that, the same item was $8 cheaper on Amazon!! So much for supporting local businesses that don't believe that support goes both ways!

When I sent you a text the next day asking for a response- you said no refund - you don't get to slander me and get your money back too. I most certainly did not slander you in any way - I simply told the truth of my experience. First of all you were the one who made the offer of refunding $ 210 out of the $ 395 total I payed to you. I'd be happy to post my receipt (s) to back up my claim of what you charged me. Secondly when you asked me if I wanted low lights I clearly stated no I wanted to go blonder for the summer. The second time I went to you - to have you fix all the low lights and toner in my hair that made it more brown then blonde- you turned my hair a brassy yellow orange. I did recently go to another salon where I got the perfect blonde color with not one excuse as to why that shade could not be achieved and the perfect shag cut which I told you I wanted and you said you could not do with my texture. The first photo is after I went to another salon and had then fix what you did. The second photo is my hair after you colored it- a lovely shade of orange!

Roya did my hair for my wedding earlier this year. My hair looked great for most of the day, and…read moreshe is clearly very talented. However, there were some downsides to the overall experience, especially given the premium price and the fact that I booked her for two looks and all-day touch-ups. Roya arrived to my bridal suite wearing a "MIGA" ("Make Iran Great Again") hat, a slogan modeled after Trump's MAGA movement and associated with political rhetoric about Iran. Regardless of personal beliefs or current events, wearing anything political as a wedding vendor is very unprofessional, especially when there is a chance of you being in bridal suite photos. Thankfully, my mom and maid of honor asked her to remove it before we headed to the venue because i didn't want my guests to misinterpret her hat, but the situation stressed me out on what was supposed to be a peaceful and relaxing morning . And the hat appeared in my wedding photos/video and I had to ask my videographer and photographer to make edits. She also ran about 30 minutes late to my trial and arrived 40 minutes late on my wedding day past my requested start time. I anticipated that she might be late based on reviews and prior experience and adjusted my timeline accordingly, but that is not something a bride should ever have to plan for, especially at this premium price point. Lastly, she left right as my reception began, despite me paying for touch-ups throughout the wedding. At the time I was fine with it, but by the time I cut my cake and after dancing, my bangs looked sweaty and no longer appeared polished. I am not sure if this is typical, but I wanted to share my experience.
