    Marlee Hildebrand (@hairbymarlz) is a true blonde queen! She's been doing my hair for nearly ten years, through all my different phases from pure platinum to a more natural balayage, ashy blonde, rose gold tint, even coppery/strawberry blonde this last time. I've gotten stopped in public multiple times to ask who my stylist is! We did extensions for a few years which always looked amazing and so natural. My cut always looks great, even had a stage with bangs and she is always a perfectionist shaping my hair. She was the only one I would trust with my hair for my wedding & all events leading up to it! Not only does my hair always look great but Marlee is so kind, such a fun person to sit with for a few hours while you get your hair done! She's always transparent about cost, which is never an issue because her work is more than worth it! The salon is super clean & beautiful, everyone there is so nice. I can't recommend Desa & Marlee enough!!

    Amber did an amazing job with full highlights and haircut. If you are looking for a hairstylist, Amber is the one.

    I've been going to Desa for three years now. Kelly never fails to do my hair exactly how I want and I've never been disappointed. Getting my hair done is my experience because of Desa Salon. I would 100% recommend to everyone.

    "Balayage with root shadow" by Marlee. I look like a tiger and there is no root shadow.

    Review about stylist Marlee Hildebrand (@hairbymarlz on Instagram). Sooo long story short, Marlee did my hair terribly when I requested a partial balayage with a root shadow. She said it would be $200. At the end of the appt is when she decided to tell me it's actually going to be $250. Well, I did not get any root shadow that I paid for, some bleached hair was still white as it didn't get any toner, and she turned me into a tiger. I was too shy to say it in the moment so I messaged her on Instagram the next day saying it turned out really poorly and sent pics. She replied a couple of days later and offered to fix it in the salon, but I'm from out of town and was already gone. So, I tried to just bite the bullet and get it redone elsewhere, but it was so expensive-- so I messaged her again asking if I can have some sort of a refund... well, she said no and BLOCKED ME. How absurd. She does balayage but dumping a clump of bleach on a whole strand, no separation in the strand to have a dimensional or 'lived in' look. Also you can see in the pictures one side of my side burns is BLEACH BLONDE while the other is still my natural brunette color?? Looks so bad. Ugh. Wasn't going to write this review until I saw she blocked me for disagreeing with her. Complete lack of professionalism or professional skill in blonding.

    I have been going here for years! My hair stylist Marlee (insta: Hairbymarlz) is absolutely amazing hair dresser. She is willing to work with what I want no matter how crazy or wild. I appreciate Marlee's dedication to her work and how she never fails to amaze me with new ideas and fun styles. I go in there looking like a ragged dog who hasn't been groomed in a year to walking out feeling like (excuse my French) the baddest bitch out there. Not only is Marlee an incredible hairdresser the vibe her and her salon warm me up. It's a stunning salon that when I walk in I feel at home. Thank you Desa but most importantly thank you Marlee H!!!

    Sesley did the most amazing job on mine and my daughters hair. Salon has an amazing vibe. Would give more stars if I could.

    Haircut & color by Amber

    I have been going to Amber since August and have never been disappointed. She has done such an amazing job on my hair and I walk out feeling so confident. During our appointments she has given me advice and recommendations on how to maintain the health of my hair. She is so skilled in her craft and i definitely will continue to go to her! @hairbyamberv The salon itself is also very well kept and clean. The employees are nice and the style of the store feels very high end

It use to be a kids play area but they change into a photo booth, claw machine game room so older folks can enjoy. Their food court menu has expanded too.

Yes price has increased but they are also updated and expanded to make the experience more pleasant which I appreciate. It being over 6 months that I last came and was pleasantly surprised. I stop going for a while because the price increased but the facilities stayed the same and a little underwhelmed but now I'm enjoying it little bit more. It seems like everything is just a little bit better now. I see the effort.

I went with 4 of my friends and this was their first time going! They loved it and were so happy they did the body scrub massage . It's worth it!! I highly recommend it. And trust me , the 6 hours goes by very fast! Perfect spa day for the girls !

    This place is absolutely gorgeous. It almost fit the complete bill for being at a high end hotel…read moreright by the water. My boyfriend and I booked a couples massage here on a sunny Saturday. Having booked the service, we were allowed to utilize the amenities located in the spa. In order to get to the spa (if you're not staying in the hotel), you had to drive into the front entrance of the hotel. This is located on the side opposite of PCH. The only real option to park is through valet service which the spa takes care of as part of the cost of the service. Our massages were booked for 2pm but we arrived around 11:30am to have lunch and enjoy the amenities. The food was pretty good and the servings were plentiful. We got a chicken Cesar wrap and the charcuterie board. You're able to eat and have the food brought over just like you were ordering room service, it was definitely room service cost and they charged for delivery to the garden. After we finished eating, we lounged in the garden to catch some sun. This is the part where I say that it almost fit the bill... the weather loved tents providing shade had mold on the canvas. Maybe it was just weather warn because it does stay outside all year round? Not sure but I'm thinking that it definitely looked like mold to me. After the sun, we enjoyed the indoor amenities of steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. For me, there a few other patrons enjoying the amenities but my boyfriend said that he pretty much had the men's locker room all to himself. My favorite part about the amenities was the shower. The shower had a rainfall shower, a handheld shower and then several steam shower heads on three of the walls. The products in the shower smelled great and I would definitely use them again. For our massages, we have the couples suite. The room was absolutely gorgeous complete with 2 massage tables, 2 sinks, a gorgeous tub, 2 separate showers this beautiful stone piece on the far wall. Massages were great and relaxing. After the massages, our massage therapists led us out to the garden again to pretty much recover from the service and it was definitely needed. Upon checking it out from our service, we perused the gift shop. There were cute clothing pieces there as well as the products that were utilized as part of some of the services. When paying, they let us know that the gratuity was already covered in the cost so that was nice. Given the cost for each service, I thought it was a generous but also fair tip. Because we finished late afternoon, we decided to walk down to the pier and venture around there. We were able to keep the car there and the hotel bellman allowed us to store our gym bags in the hotel as well, all at no extra cost. If I was looking to splurge again, I would probably come back. What would sweeten the deal is if we were able to use the hotel pool too but they said that it is only allowed during the weekdays when the pool isn't too busy.
