One star is too many. Unfortunately, in spite of recommendations, I never rec'd a return call after multiple attempts - per the salon's VM greeting, clients are to text or leave a message for the specific stylist at the number provided in the VM greeting. Diva's lost my business. Too bad, b/c I'm a loyal, punctual and agreeable client and I tip well. They should pay for Booksy so clients can book online. It's not that hard to call someone back. read more

Carlos Alcala @carloscolorista does magic with color, highlights and cuts. He is very talented and I only trust him with my hair. read more

I've been going to Divas for a year and a half now and they are excellent. Carlos, in particular, is amazing! I'd always dreamt of having purple hair and when the time finally came, I searched for the best, and Carlos' name came up. He only exceeded my expectations. From day one he was clear about how cumbersome the process would be, how expensive, and how much maintenance would be needed. Despite all that, I dove in and it was so worth it! Since then, we've taken my hair blonde, and most recently, a copper shade. Every time, I love it and receive incredible compliments. Also, having naturally dark hair, none of these have been quick or easy. When spending 8 hours in the hair salon, Carlos manages to make it fun and interesting throughout. In all my time there I've gotten to meet a lot of the other folks at Divas and they're all fantastic! Highly recommend!!!! read more

Not every stylist can cut short hair. Crystal, though, is a magician. She listened so what I wanted and then once we were on the same page she went to work. I loved the result. I've been back a few times already and will continue to go to her. If you're looking for a short hairstyle specialist- look no further! read more

Darling, quaint salon. Personable, talented stylists. Ashley cut and styled my hair today, and did a fantastic job. She took an uneven, lackluster style and transformed it into a work of Art.

Carlos is amazing! As a first time client I was a little nervous going to someone new but he knew exactly what I was looking for. I came in with a messed up balayage from another salon that left my hair a hot mess with all sorts of colors going on. I was looking to even out the tone and add some face framing highlights and cover my grey roots. He totally transformed my hair and was so patient and sweet. The studio is very cute and clean, and I was super impressed with all the services they offer. The prices were also very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back, I'm so glad I found this place! If you're looking for a new hair stylist, look no further than Carlos! read more

I've been coming to Carlos for years! My hair is incredibly difficult to work with and the type of ash blond I like being is even more so difficult to achieve. Carlos is patient and has found the best ways to achieve my hair goals. It's so great that I drive all the way from San Jose and book my appointments months in advanced! I highly recommend Carlos for all your hair needs! read more

Carlos Alcala is a master at his craft. Just got one of the best haircuts in years! He is patient, pays attention, and listens to my wants. No drama and very professional. I was cautious after several other salons had damaged my hair. Carlos made me feel at ease and did an amazing job. I would recommend Carlos to anyone looking to get their hair done right and look great! read more

Going here is going to be a transformative experience. Carlos is amazing and does everything he possibly can to give you the best looks. He truly is a master of hair care. Anything from just a basic cut to taking you on the journey to your color dreams, Carlos will work to make it happen. I highly recommend you try and book with him, you will not be disappointed. He will talk you through everything you want to do and make sure to let you know what's happening every step of the way. He very easy to speak with and makes sure you're as comfortable as possible. Definitely worth it! read more

Amazing amazing amazing. Used the Yelp button to make an appt and Sheila got in contact with me quickly and passed me onto Carlos to get set up. Very quick and easy to set up an appointment and love the 'do! read more

I had my hair done by Crystal a couple days ago, and I absolutely love my new style. Crystal cut my hair and added some highlights. I keep getting compliments about my hair literally from the moment I left the salon. This was my first visit to Divas, but for sure not the last. I'm so looking forward to try the massage, facial, manicure, everything! Thank you for being so amazing and bringing happiness to your clients! read more

Carlos saved me with a hair color issue under a very short time crunch! I sent the owner and message and she (Sheila) got me his number within minutes. I saw him as soon as he could get me in and he fixed my hair color so efficiently. The final look was perfect and exactly what I was looking for - I felt so fresh after a very long time during the pandemic. Thank you so much Carlos and Sheila! Definitely planning on going back again soon for other services. read more

Carlos has been doing my hair for some time now and I love it!!! My hair feels so healthy. I definitely recommend to go to him. He's so friendly and makes you feel so welcomed. read more

Five stars all the way! Exceptional customer service and service! Very impressed with ambience of salon and cleanliness! Owner is beyond nice. Highly recommend! read more

I tried contacting this business multiple times to schedule an appointment for several weeks and was never acknowledged.

This is the nicest beauty studio in all of Marina. I recommend Nicole for a facial. Loved the products she used on my face. I felt so relaxed and my skin hydrated and cleansed. Thanks! read more

Carlos is patient and incredibly knowledgeable, a true master of his craft. He has seen me through all of my wildest hair fantasies, and I have always been delighted with the outcome, from helping make me look like and maintain a natural blonde, to fun, vibrant colors, to slowly transitioning me back to a darker, subtler variation of my normal hair. Whatever the project, he is always willing to undertake it. read more

I've been going to Diva's for a year now, and I have never felt more comfortable with someone touching my feet or taking care of my hair. The owner, Sheila, is gives a great Mani/Pedi, and obviously has a lot of pride in her work, and fun on the job. The last time I got a manicure was for a wedding, and she came in [on a day they are usually closed] to do my nails. The last pedicure I got was some time ago, but simply because I don't have the time to get it done again. The work was flawless and super cute plaid! Yes, Plaid. Purple and Pink Plaid. :oD I get my hair cut, colored, and styled by Crystal. Not only does she know exactly what she is doing all the time, but she is fun, easy-going, and a true expert at what she does. Admittedly, it's easy for her because we maintain almost the same color and style at the same time, but she knows what colors, low/highlights, tones, and funky colors will compliment, as well as the cuts, styles, angles, etc. to give someone based on their length, skin tone, and eye color. I have not had anything done by the newest diva, Angela, but we've hung out outside of Diva's and I know she is a talented and charismatic stylist. They also offer brow shaping and waxing (which I got done for the first time today) and a standing tanning booth. The decor alone is something to love about Diva's. It's tastefully covered in pin-up 50s references (leopard print, stilettos, Betty Paige, etc) and is just fun to look at while waiting for your appointment. I have found the perfect place to feel beautiful. read more

Nichole Lynn baptized my first facial microdermabrasion and I must express that it was a superfantastic experience. Fellas, I highly recommend Nichole's facial services. It's never too late as I thought but a service that you owe yourself to enjoy. Ciao for now!! read more

I went to see Nichole for a microdermabrasion and neck massage as a birthday present. My concern was hyperpigmentation on my cheek. I heard a lot of recommendation about the microdermabrasion procedure netting immediate results so I was optimistic that mine would get lighter. The room is quaint and peaceful. Prepare to be relaxed and maybe get in a nap. The microdermabrasion felt like a mini sandblast. It wasn't painful or unpleasant. The warm towels over my face and neck felt good and then the jelly mask, which was my favorite, was soothing. Overall, for my first facial, it was a positive and great experience. I still have some hyperpigmentation, but I think with another round it will go away. It was an acne scar that was a little under 2 years old. Nichole is professional and sweet. She offered me a drink at the end. Thanks for my Snapple. I would definitely recommend her!!! read more

Every time the hairstylist Crystal either forgets about my appointment, cancels, or asks to reschedule. I like how she cuts my hair however do not appreciate the poor commitment to clients. Obviously they do not care. Unfortunately my experience there changed drastically to poor. read more

Crystal is awesome. Great at her craft. Let's of fun to chat with and the salon is super nice and comfortable.

Hair salons in Marina are slim pickings... I decided to try this place based on some stellar reviews and made an appointment to get highlights with Jennifer. No problems with booking, and I was really looking forward to getting my hair done before picking up my partner from the airport. I show up to the salon 20 minutes early, am told by another stylist that Jennifer is not in yet, and that she has another client waiting who has an appointment at the same time as mine. Uh, ok... I sit in a chair and wait for this Jennifer to come in and sort things out, only to have her call my cell while I am waiting. She says quite frankly "I'm sorry but I have to reschedule our appointment." Weird, but ok, no problem. As I'm walking out, still on the phone with Jennifer rescheduling our appointment, she proceeds to tell me that she is SICK and can't make it to work. I know full well that she is lying and has another customer in the salon. I mean come on, if you're going to mess up that badly at least be honest about and say "I apologize, I accidentally double-booked" or "my long-time client is having a hair emergency," but do not lie to me. Have some integrity. Needless to say I won't be going back. read more

I tried this salon to much success and relief when I looked for a salon a few months after moving here. It happens to be near where I live and it worked out for me! Crystal always does a great job cutting my hair and Leeann is good with waxing. I recommend this salon 100%! read more

Carlos is the only stylist I've seen who has consistently managed to make my super fine hair look voluminous. He's done shorter styles on me along with mid length styles and they have all been beautiful. He is always focused on the health of my hair along with giving me the style I asked for. I highly recommend seeing him for any cut and color needs you have. read more

Sheila made me feel like a DIVA! Was on a much needed vacation for a few days in the Marina, and wanting to treat myself, I Yelped for a nail salon in the area. Diva's star-rating and reviews won me over so I chanced driving over without first calling to see if walk-ins were welcomed. My good fortune was that Sheila, the owner, was just finishing up with a client. And, although she was actually off that day, she sat me right away. (If you're reading this, Sheila, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a good sport.) I Yelp this because I am an extremely self-conscious individual when it comes to manicures & pedicures. Why? Because I have "dude" hands. I wish I was blessed with delicate lady digits, but such as it goes with a lot of other things I wish I was genetically born with (and without). Over the course of 20 years, I have attempted 7-8 times to have 'pretty hands' by getting tips. None seemed to look naturally nice as the results, I felt, were "dude fingers with fake nails." My outlook has all since changed thanks to Sheila whom recommended and applied Shellac on my pudgy fingers. Sheila has a knack for mixing the limited colors Shellac offers, but I got the basic metallic red polish. Although my nails are short, Sheila filed and shaped them so beautifully. I would NEVER have thought that my hands could be so lovely! (Hmm. I wonder if she can make a miracle happen with my Vienna sausage toes? I'm sure she can.) Come to think of it, having a manicure from Sheila was like a therapy session on self-image. And, for $40 (not including discount she gave me afterward) for making me feel like a diva - so worth it! The only downside is that Sheila isn't up in the SF Bay Area where I'm from. Anyway, much mahalos, Sheila!! You helped make my vacation all that more wonderful! read more

Got the honor to have Carlos do magic on my hair. He is absolutely amazing, wouldn't want anyone else to do my hair. The salon is wonderful as well. read more

This was round 2 at Divas! I got a hair cut and wax with Miracle Worker, I mean, Jennifer. She is fantastic! The first time I came in, she fixed a hair emergency I had before my friend's wedding. Major improvement to what I had going in! This time, my hair is finally back to normal and not choppy. More importantly, I LOOK LIKE A DIVA. Jennifer also does waxing. I got my lip and brows done. My brows are thin and completely two different shapes. I communicated my concerns and my needs were met. My eyebrows look very close in shape. IT'S A MIRACLE! LOL. Also, I have a Monroe piercing on my lip and she was very careful when waxing. I appreciate that. She is client oriented and pays attention to detail. I am more than satisfied! Thank you Jennifer, for fixing my hack job and making me look fabulous! Also, they recently remodeled (at least since the last time I was in) and they offer more great services! Check them out!!! read more

Jen has been cutting and waxing me for years Couldn't ask for better She knows what I want and does it with a smile I always look beautiful read more

Divas Beauty Studio & Spa - new hair by crystal - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina, California

I was not going to post a review about my hair disaster, until I saw what Jennifer Lewis did to the hair of not one but two other friends. Here's my disaster story: I asked for highlights and layers. The highlights are obviously too light and the layers don't blend leaving me with about 5-6" of my dark brown hair showing. Would a real professional really let me walk out looking like this? I'm 45 yrs old and this has NEVER happened to me. I gave Jennifer Lewis a few opportunities and we also discussed in detail what I wanted. Extremely dissatisfied. read more

I don't trust many with my hair and I absolutely love crystal. And I have started getting my nails done by Sheila and she us great! Everything is done by hand NO machines.

Wow! What can I say, Wendy is a hair genius! I was reticent about going to Diva's because I rarely spend any money on my hair. I can say leaving Diva's after Wendy's gifted hands were on my hair, I felt like I had received a massive value. This haircut made me feel like a million bucks, and I looked fantastic. I received compliments the entire six weeks after the cut. The environment is friendly, kind and I felt right at home. I went back a 2nd time today and it was even better. I love Diva's!!! read more

I have been a client of Crystal's for almost a year now. She is always friendly, professional, and accommodating. This salon is always clean, well appointed, and welcoming. If you'd like a great experience, this is a good place to go! read more

Shiela is outstanding with nails and a professional. I used to drive to Palo Alto from Big Sur as I am very picky. Shiela is the best. Sheila is, also, very personable and responsible. I read here a few difficult reviews for a person Sheila had to let go. That happened. Sheila is an empathetic person who will go out of her way to help; integrity is her middle name. A hometown girl who has made good, very, very good. I recommend Sheila and her comfortable salon at 5 stars. Oh, and reasonable rates! read more

Diva's is an amazing salon with every service & product I need. My Skin, Hair & Nails always look fabulous. The decor and service are always warm and inviting & they always treat me with caring respect & make sure to tell me about the latest trends and focus on keeping me stylish and confident. I disagree with the negative review Tricia has written, the have always been very professional and do everything possible to go above & beyond to keep their clients happy and satisfied,. This is definately the place to go for full-service pampering. read more

The prices are resonable and Wendy does a great job with my hair. I have had cuts and color done a few times and they always turn out great. Wendy is a color goddess. Their services are great, the salon is adorable and it is a relaxed and fun atmosphere with all of the ladies. read more
