LGBTQ warning. I reached out to Brush Salon because I was looking for a new stylist closer to where…read moreI live. In my message, I specifically shared that I was looking for a queer/trans-friendly salon. I also explained that I have been a loyal client who has previously flown out of state to see my longtime stylist, but I was hoping to find someone local. I never received a response to my message, so I called. The person that answer confirmed the owner had received message and told me a person outside their salon would be a "better fit." I reached out to that person as well and received no response. Message received. The whole experience was disappointing and honestly painful. Looking for a new stylist as a queer/trans person already comes with a lot of anxiety around whether a space will actually be safe and welcoming. Sadly, this interactions let me know that my concerns were real. I can't speak to their intentions, but I can speak to the impact: I did not feel welcomed, wanted, or safe as a prospective LGBTQ client. I wish businesses could be more direct about who they aren't prepared to serve, because being quietly redirected elsewhere after explicitly asking for a queer/trans-friendly space feels awful.

I've been going to George Portillo since 2016, and at this point I'm convinced there's some actual…read moremagic involved. My hair is the longest and healthiest it has ever been, and that is absolutely because of George's skill, product guidance, and the way he approaches hair with both artistry and science. He's an educator at heart and is always up to date on the latest techniques, trends, products, and color science. He somehow manages to create the perfect blonde for my complexion every single time -- bright and dimensional without sacrificing the health of my hair. And his haircuts deserve their own mention because I genuinely do not understand how he does it: I leave with freshly cut hair that somehow looks LONGER. Explain that one. He's also an educator for EasyPro Hair Extensions, so if you've been dreaming about longer or fuller hair, you're in very capable hands. I personally haven't needed extensions, but I would trust George completely if I ever decided to go that route. Another thing I really appreciate: his timing is precise. Appointments are efficient without ever feeling rushed, which is a rare and beautiful thing. If you want someone who understands blonde, understands hair health, stays on top of his craft, and will actually teach you how to take care of your hair between appointments, book with George. There's a reason I've trusted him with my hair for a decade.

I just returned from my 15 year high school reunion and I had such compliments on my hair cut, style and color! I owe it to a excellent stylist named Caroline at the Eli Alexander Salon. It has been my experience in the past to always look great leaving a salon but finding it difficult to repeat the look when on my own. This was not the case as Caroline really took time and patience and listened to me about what I wanted and what would work for my hair and lifestyle. The results were amazing !!!! I must have had 30 people come up to me and say they "LOVED MY HAIR" I will certainly be a return customer. Brittany S. read more

Margaux is absolutely amazing! She worked her magic on both of my my daughters' hair and not only fixed their color beautifully, but also made the whole experience so special for them. They left the salon beaming, feeling like a million bucks! It's not easy to find a stylist who is both incredibly skilled and genuinely caring, but Margaux is exactly that. She took the time to really listen, worked with such precision, and the results were beyond what we hoped for. My daughters are still talking about how happy they are--thank you, Margaux, for making them feel so confident and gorgeous! We can't wait to come back. read more

I had the BEST experience with Margaux!! She completely transformed my hair with the most beautiful curly cut and color--my curls have never looked this healthy, defined, and full of life. She really knows what she's doing and takes the time to understand exactly what you want. On top of that, I also got a brow treatment and I'm literally obsessed with the results. Everything looks so clean and perfectly shaped. Margaux is not only super talented but also so sweet and professional. I felt comfortable the entire time. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for amazing hair and beauty services!! read more

I highly recommend coming to this salon. It has a great atmosphere, and I finally found a hairstylist who really listens to what I want. It could be just a trim or a new style all together, Caroline makes sure that I leave the salon happy and with confidence. I have had trouble in the past with getting a new haircut with my wavy/curly hair, since it would never naturally dry the way I hoped. However, I explained this to Caroline and I could not be happier with the results. I have been going to her ever since! So, I would like to say thank you to the salon and Caroline for such great service! read more

I had highlights done by Lauren at Kate Lane Salon this past Saturday. Before the service, I was…read morevery clear about what I wanted: very natural, sun-kissed, barely-there highlights with soft blending. I specifically told her I did not want anything stripey, chunky, or with any yellow/gold/brassy tones. Unfortunately, the result was the complete opposite of what we discussed. The highlights came out noticeably chunky and stripey, with harsh lines, poor blending, and a distinct brassy yellow tone that makes my hair look damaged and unnatural. I've never had a salon service turn out this poorly before. Lauren herself was kind and professional during the appointment, and I believe she tried her best. However, the final result does not match what was agreed upon, and it has left my previously healthy virgin hair looking compromised. I reached out to Kate Lane management the next business day with photos from multiple angles showing the issues (patchy application, thick streaks, harsh lines, and brassy color). I politely explained that I was too upset to return for a correction and requested a full refund for the highlighting service. They have refused to issue any refund. I'm extremely disappointed in both the quality of the work and the salon's unwillingness to stand behind their service when it clearly did not meet the client's explicit instructions. This experience has cost me time, money, and confidence. I would have still returned to the salon for regular haircuts and to purchase hair products if management had handled this situation differently. I have had my haircut here many times and it was always a nice experience. Unfortunately, I cannot even recommend them for that anymore. Customer service is everything and this situation was not handled fairly or appropriately. I would not recommend Kate Lane Salon for color services, especially highlights. Proceed with caution -- or better yet, go somewhere else.
