Valet is apparently free, but I found street parking in front of OSPI. I initially found SAGE on Yelp, then visited their website to learn more before booking. I really appreciated how transparent they are. Each stylist has a profile with a bio and a picture. The services and individual pricings are listed upfront in the booking portal, which made it easy to choose someone who fit what I was looking for. Price transparency is important to me, and at the very end I was charged exactly what I booked. My stylist was Mikayla, and she was incredibly meticulous/detail-oriented. She spent about 4.5 hours perfecting my Full Highlights, and I never felt like she was rushing through any part of the process. During the consultation, I felt heard. She listened to what I wanted without any judgment or pressure to steer me toward a different outcome. Instead, the conversation felt collaborative, with explanations that helped me make informed decisions. I know for some, having to chat for all that time may be daunting. Mikayla struck the perfect balance between friendly conversation and giving me space. She clearly communicated each step of the process before doing it. My Full Highlights service included foiling, toning, a shadow root, a hair mask, and a full blowout. I'm so happy with how everything turned out!

I had such a great experience at SAGE, especially with Colby!…read more From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming and the salon itself is beautiful. Colby really took the time to listen to what I wanted and understood exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to keep my long hair while adding movement and shape, and he absolutely nailed it. My hair finally looks the way I had envisioned. Beyond his talent, he was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the appointment. Before I left, he even let me know that if there was anything I'd like adjusted after living with the haircut for a few days, he'd be happy to take care of it. That level of care and attention really stood out. I'm so glad I found both SAGE and Colby. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers.

I have thick, stubborn, and coarse hair. Most people one can't style or cut my hair correctly. Only Gabe. I have recommended him to my friends and family over the years and they keep coming back to him as well. Additionally, he did hair in Italy for some high profile clients. I'm SO happy I found him when he came back to the USA. The salon is nice and the other stylists seem friendly. I haven't gone to them for their services yet, but if I am in dire straits and if I don't have GABE available, I would happily go to them. Mimi is SO sweet and so is the Italian salon owner. That said, I really enjoy coming here. The decor of the place is charming, the atmosphere is nice, and everyone here is very friendly for the most part. I will continue to go to this salon for as long as Gabe is here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I booked an appointment with Lisa, described as a curly hair specialist, on January 8. I mentioned…read moremy hair type to the receptionist, and she said I didn't need a consultation. For reference, I have thick, curly hair and requested partial highlights and a haircut (long layers with face-framing pieces). The stylist was a little late, and the first hour of the appointment was spent without any work being done while she figured out how to proceed. Throughout the appointment, there were repeated comments about how much hair I have and how unprepared she was, which made me feel uncomfortable. I was even asked to brush my own hair before the haircut, even though it wasn't tangled, something I've never experienced at another salon. I also overheard her speaking with a coworker about how much I would have to pay. The foiling process took significantly longer than expected, and toward the end, the stylist seemed rushed as it was closing time. After washing and swiftly trimming, my hair was left wet, with only the front pieces blow-dried, making it difficult to see the color result. Once I styled it at home, there was little to no visible change in color, and it did not match what I had asked for. My hair had unnecessary chemicals added without a real result. I was charged $400 for four hours, including an hour when no service was performed. I also wasn't aware they charged by the hour until I arrived (their website lists prices per service). The stylist commented, "I am only going to charge you $400," implying it could have been more. I ended up disputing the charge with my bank, which sided with me, as the service did not reflect the time, cost, or expectations. I reached out to the salon to share my concerns, but they were dismissed without addressing the specific issues I mentioned. I've attached a photo showing my hair immediately after the appointment, mostly wet and unstyled. For comparison, the same service elsewhere took under three hours, costed $300, and produced the expected results with my hair being styled and the customer service being great. I would advise clients with thick and/or curly hair to ask more questions about the stylist's experience, timing, and pricing before booking. I would also like to note that this review reflects my personal experience. Any invalidation from the salon does not change how the service was delivered, the customer service I received, or the inaccurate pricing compared to what is listed online. I hope the salon can learn from this feedback to improve their service for future clients, especially those with diverse hair types.

Grays? What grays? I…read morebooked an appointment with Tracy for balayage after seeing how amazing she made my friend's hair look. She was booked solid for two weeks, so definitely book in advance if you want an appointment. The salon is located near the beach, so parking can be limited, but Tracy texted me ahead of time with parking instructions and even saved me a spot right in front of the salon. The salon itself is clean and welcoming. They also sell handmade jewelry created by one of the staff members, and there was even a tarot reader set up outside, which added to the fun and unique vibe. I came in feeling pretty self-conscious about my hair. My grays were becoming more noticeable, my color had grown out, and my hair was looking dry and tired. Tracy immediately put me at ease. She asked what I wanted, took one look at my hair, and confidently reassured me that she would blend my grays and give me a natural result. At that point, I trusted her completely and let her do her thing. One thing I wasn't expecting was how amazing the shampoo experience would be. Her scalp massage felt incredible and was honestly one of the best parts of the appointment. Since Luna's is also a head spa, it makes sense that they pay extra attention to the scalp experience. It was so relaxing that I found myself wishing it would last longer. Tracy is personable, confident, and gives off total boss woman energy. You can tell she knows exactly what she's doing. After coloring my hair, she even went the extra mile and offered me a complimentary trim just to make it perfect. When she finished, she styled my hair both straight and curled so I could really see the dimension and color. The result exceeded my expectations. My grays completely disappeared into the color, and the balayage looks soft, natural, and beautifully blended. My hair looks healthier, shinier, and so much more refreshed. I left feeling like a new person and could not stop looking at my hair. If you're looking for someone who specializes in color and balayage, Tracy is your girl. And if you're looking for a little extra pampering, definitely check out their head spa services as well. Don't overthink it. Just book the appointment. You won't regret it.

Aside from a few highlights around my face and on the top of my head, it didn't look like I had recently had my roots highlights touched up at all. My hair looks grown out as if I had not even had it done. Watch the video and you be the judge. When I brought up my concerns, the owner, I sent her this same video (Emily) explained that this is what the salon considers a partial ROOT highlight touchup. I already had my hair previously bleached . I respect that explanation, but for $240 plus a $50 tip ($290 total), I expected a more noticeable result. She offered to correct it for an additional $50. I'm sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision and have a clear understanding of what this salon considers a partial highlight ROOT service.
