Go see Helay! Yesterday. Helay has been my girl for about five years now and she has seen me through two mental health crises where I did something dumb to my hair and she had to put me right again. I trust that woman with my life, let alone my hair. I hesitate to write this review because I don't want to make her even harder to book but girl to girl... she's worth it. read more

What an awesome experience!! From the moment you set foot in the salon, you can feel the positive energy. It's bright, beautiful and modern. Tina warmly greeted me, I was offered a glass of wine and a very comfortable lake view until my turn. What's not to love?! Thereafter, JENNIFER! Don't hesitate; you want her for hair advice or decades of experience in color, cut, and styling! Love her and the results. This place is the whole package and a treasure! read more

I've been going to Olesya for over 10 years, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She is talented, professional, and truly cares about her clients. Her new salon is absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous views of Lake Mission Viejo, beautiful decor, and a relaxing atmosphere. There is plenty of easy parking, which makes appointments even more convenient. The entire team is friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Everyone takes pride in their work and helps clients look and feel their best. It's clear that Olesya has created yet another salon focused on both exceptional service and a great client experience. If you're looking for a talented stylist, a beautiful salon, and a team that genuinely cares, I highly recommend Olesya and her staff. Congratulations on the new location! read more

Natalie did an amazing job highlighting my hair! She really listened to what I wanted and created the perfect, natural-looking highlights that blend beautifully with my hair. I love the results and have received so many compliments. She's talented, professional, and made the whole experience enjoyable. I highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for gorgeous hair! read more

I have been seeing Regina for all my hair care needs for several years now. She is the best with color. I am blonde and she gets my color and highlights just right! read more

Update- I appreciate that the owner of the salon said that she tried to reach out to me. Unfortunately, I don't have any missed calls from an unknown number nor do I have any voicemails from anyone at the salon. Also, this was not a simple "miscommunication". I specifically said many times at the beginning of the appointment that I only wanted green or grey toned products and no blue or purple additives to any of the products put in my hair. I said that it would make my hair turn, reddish, and only green or gray would give it the ashy color I wanted. When I reminded my stylist of this after she colored my hair, she replied that she did not put blue or purple, she "only put violet". That is not a miscommunication. That is a direct contradiction of what I asked for. And considering I was publicly humiliated and physically escorted out of the salon, there was really not an opening for me to handle this matter privately. Luckily, I went to a different salon yesterday and after six hours and $600, they were able to fix my hair. This whole ordeal has been an absolute disaster. Shame on anyone for trying to place the blame back on me. Original post - I waited a day before writing this review because I wanted to make sure I was being fair and factual. I understand that mistakes can happen in hair color, and I truly did not want to negatively impact anyone's livelihood. In fact, if the situation had ended professionally, I likely would not have written this review at all. However, the way I was treated at the end of the appointment left me extremely upset and uncomfortable. Before my appointment, I very specifically explained the color I wanted: a very cool, natural mushroom brown with subtle highlights. I also clearly stated multiple times that I cannot use blue, purple, or violet-based toners or dyes because they pull extremely orange/red on my hair. I explained that I only do well with neutral, green, or grey-based tones. After the color was processed and shampooed out, the stylist informed me that she had used a violet-based formula, the exact type of tone I had specifically asked her not to use. When I reminded her that I had repeatedly said no blue or purple tones, she responded, "I didn't put blue or purple, I put violet," which was frustrating because violet is still within that same color family I had explicitly asked to avoid. To her credit, she did spend time trying to correct the color, and I appreciate that effort. Unfortunately, the correction did not resolve the issue, and the final result was significantly warmer/redder than what I requested. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable moving forward with the haircut or full blowout because I had lost confidence in the consultation and communication process. I left with wet hair and planned to speak with the owner about what would be a fair price, especially since not all services were completed and I now have to pay for corrective color elsewhere before an upcoming trip. What upset me most was what happened at checkout. While I was calmly explaining that I wanted to discuss pricing with the owner and still believed the stylist should be compensated for her time and effort, the stylist suddenly raised her voice in front of multiple people, told me to leave, and accused me of intentionally trying to get free services. I was shocked and embarrassed. Up until that moment, although we clearly disagreed, the interaction had remained cordial. I never asked for free services. I simply did not feel comfortable paying full price for incomplete services and a color result that directly contradicted the instructions I gave during consultation. Again, I understand that color corrections and miscommunications can happen in this industry. What made this experience so upsetting was not just the color outcome, but the breakdown in professionalism and the public accusation that I was trying to "steal" services. I am now scrambling before my trip trying to get my hair color corrected. I wanted to leave this review to warn others, not to get this stylist in trouble. But she has to know, its not okay to shame customers when they question services or payment. What a huge disappointment. I am attaching a picture of what I asked for, and what I received. read more

I absolutely love this location! Olesya and her stylists pamper you the moment you walk in - the view is gorgeous and I wish I could enjoy it more when I'm there but Olesya always makes my hair look gorgeous so fast that I almost ( almost ) can't take it in. Great place to go grab something to drink or eat after I look pretty after! Definitely recommend 100%! read more

My mom and I both go to Due Pompeii and Regina does an amazing job for both of us! Relaxing and a great view! Reasonable prices.

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE TRASH. Lol. Kidding. I've been going to Oleysia the owner for years. And I'm a former hairstylist from Los Angeles. I know good head (ermmm hair). Not only is she extremely talented, but as the owner she pours education into her team on a daily basis. Not only is the entire team UBER talented, but it's a drama free zone. I look forward to going every chance I get. Don't walk.... RUN here. read more

I'm absolutely in love with my new hair! I wanted a fresh look, so I decided to chop it and lighten it up with a balayage. The only problem was that my previous stylist had retired--but a friend recommended Due Pompeii, and I'm so glad they did! It was super easy to book, and the entire staff was friendly and kind. Kylee did such an amazing job--I've been getting nothing but compliments! read more

I went for a training session for a root covering and my stylist was Natalie. She took direction from the owner/instructor very well and did a great job. Sweet girl and I'm sure she'll be great when she's working on her own! ETA: the hair stylist's dad came while I was in the chair with the product on my hair. Both the instructor and stylist left me to tend to him for quite some time. I've had literal breakage and thinning of my hair since this visit. Not sure if it's related but it's odd. read more

What an incredible first time experience! Nafi brought my hair back to life and another stylist did a horrible job. She saved my hair and brightened it to the level I actually wanted!!! She protected my hair and the shine and bounce is to die for! I will forever go with her! read more

I can't say enough good things about Diana! I've been going to her for a while now and every appointment is such a great experience.

Natalie is the best stylist I have ever worked with! She is extremely knowledgeable and attentive. From the consultation on, I feel taken care of and I always leave feeling like it's the best cut I've ever had.

Always amazing service and great haircut and highlights! Relaxing atmosphere and always feel pampered when I get my hair done. There's a lot that can go wrong when dealing with super straight long hair but I never worry about the outcome when I come here. Finding a good hair dresser is like finding a good doctor. I am always satisfied with the results and wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Bad experience. My usual stylist was unavailable so I called this place requesting a men's haircut. I requested an experienced stylist who could do scissor over comb men's cut. I've been getting that cut for over 10 years (currently- Joy @ Ahrittaum). Also, scissor over comb weeds out the inexperienced stylists. Reception informed me that "Nancy" could do the job. I showed up early and sat in Nancy's chair. She asked how I wanted my haircut and I informed her scissor over comb. She said my hair was too short for her to do that cut. She described doing some "Supercuts", shear the side of my head thing. I told her that would not work as I've been having my haircut this way for 10 plus years. She got angry and aggressively ripped the snaps from the gown and pulled it off me. She told me to go someplace else. I quietly got up and walked away. As I was walking away, I could hear Nancy complaining about me to one of the others stylists. I just kept walking. I realize that customer service is in steep decline, but good paying customers should not be confronted with angry outbursts and disrespect from employees who can't do their job. read more

This salon itself is amazing, they were very accommodating to taking a last minute walk in. Long story short, I made an impulse decision to go from having the same hair style for over ten years to getting a completely new look on a Friday at 5pm and they were able to squeeze me in. And that decision was fully supported and executed by the wonderful Elsa of Salon One. She did an amazing job at putting my mind at ease and validating my choices. She talked me through the whole process and how to style my new hair. To say I'm in love with the new look she gave me is an understatement. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

I visited Courtney recently and she is the BEST hair stylist I've ever had! We actually met in a Sephora and her energy was so radiant I had to come see her.

I highly recommend this location and booking with Courtney! read more

After searching many areas for the right stylist who is approachable, truly interested in your input and gets it, Courtney is the best. I think Salon One was my last attempt in finding someone who can give me the attention I needed to correct many layers of color issues - she welcomed the challenge.

In the last two years since moving to this area I have searched far and wide for a decent barber. I finally found the perfect one. Svetlana is an absolute artist with men's hair and although it may cost a little more than Supercuts if you want to look good then pay the money. Don't cheap out on looking great. You won't be disappointed. My search is over! read more

I can't say enough about good things about my experience with Melody!!! From the consultation to the final result, the level of expertise and attention to detail with my gray blending was truly exceptional. She took the time to consider my skin tone, my natural mix of gray and brown/blonde color, and what would actually look harmonious and natural on me -- not just a one-size-fits-all formula. The gray blending came out absolutely perfect: soft, dimensional, and exactly what I had envisioned. What really sets her apart, though, is her precision haircut. I've had a stubborn curl/wave in the back of my hair for years that no other stylist could seem to eliminate -- until now. Her technique and understanding of how hair lays and moves made all the difference. For the first time, my hair falls smoothly and evenly without constant fussing. You can also tell she uses high-quality products and applies them with intention. Nothing felt rushed, sloppy, or generic -- every step was thoughtful and deliberate. If you're looking for someone who truly understands color, structure, and how to customize results to you, this is the stylist you want. The results were not just beautiful -- they were precise, natural, and confidence-boosting. I'll absolutely be back. Thank you, Melody for a job well done!!!! read more

I'm so happy I found this salon and Courtney is literally the best. She's so sweet and talkative, makes you feel so comfortable and honors absolutely every request you make. She is so collaborative and really works with you on how you'd like your hair to look, checks in a lot throughout the process and most importantly she did NOT cut off any more hair than I wanted her to!!! That has been my biggest struggle with hairstylists, but she absolutely nails it. My hair looked just like the photos I showed as reference. Have already recommended her to my friends!!! Also, salon has the prettiest view of the lake and such a clean, professional and chic interior. Makes for a great vibe while you get styled! I will be returning again and again :) read more

Another review for Courtney! I've been going to her since my black box dye hair fiasco and boy has she revived my hair I went to her for a trim & hair gloss. I told her I was undecided on the exact tone I wanted, but after showing a few pictures she understood my vision perfectly. I'm so obsessed with my hair and how it's growing and getting healthier by the day. The products she's suggested always hit the mark and I can't thank her enough for making my hair dreams come true. The first picture is from the last time she did my hair in July and the second is my hair now! read more
