I can't remember all the products that they have, but off the top of my head I have seen Urban Decay, Lancome, Khiels, YSL, Clarasonic, and many many more. Some of the products do rotate out though so if you see any YSL lipsticks, stock up, because they may not be in stock the next time you visit. The only downside is that they don't have a facebook page or website to notify you of upcoming events or discount. There actually is a facebook page, but it hasn't been updated in a long time. Even a mailing list would be great! But anyways, this is such a great store to try out box sets full of samples and deluxe size items for a lower price. You can definitely stock up on prezzies here for birthdays and holidays. The store also carries fragrance sets as well.

I wandered around a bit looking at other items. I wanted to see if there was a tester so I could feel the consistency of the Redken gloss I was about to buy. I know the store pretty well, so I knew where it was and there wasn't a tester. It must've been a popular deal because there weren't any more left. I didn't see sales people on the floor at all so there's no one I could ask any questions to. Luckily, I got what I needed and went to the checkout. I had recently found a very, very old gift card that I had. So old that you couldn't even check the balance anymore. I asked the girls if I could use it and they said yes they never expire, after checking it only had $2.70 on it. They were really nice about helping me. I also had another gift card I used to pay with and again they were just super helpful and kind. The service here has been hit or miss in the past. I've had some fantastic sales people and I've had some not so fantastic ones so it was nice to have the girls at the checkout be so happy and willing to help.

She immediately assessed what needed to be corrected and fixed it with ease. She was efficient, incredibly knowledgeable, and gave me what is genuinely the best haircut I've ever had. What makes the experience better is the value. For only $10, the quality and attention to detail were exceptional--far better than experiences I've had at salons where I've paid significantly more. It's rare to find someone with this level of skill who is also so efficient and affordable. Noriko is fantastic if you're looking for a new go-to stylist, or if you are looking for someone to save the day. If you're in need of someone who is talented, precise, and can quickly understand exactly what your hair needs, I highly recommend seeing her at Ulta Oceanside. 10/10 experience.

They would make eye contact and keep walking. I finally asked someone to help me color match. It had been years since I used the studio fix and I loved it when I was younger but found it hard to be matched. She tried a few colors on me and decided on one. It looked okay to me but it's so hard to tell in store. She also explained to me that the formulation had changed over the years and it wasn't the same as it used to be. They no longer use talc. She expressed that some people like it, and some people do not. I had no idea so I'm glad she told me. I ended up asking a few other sales people where to find items I was looking for, one pointed in the direction and one actually took me there. I sampled a few items through testers, but decided to stick with just the pressed powder for now. There was a long line to check out, but there was quite a few cashiers and they were opening more as I waited. The line moved quickly and I was able to pay for my item and ask questions about the return policy in case I didn't like the new formula . When I got home, I tested my new product and unfortunately it's a bit orange on me so I'll be bringing it back. Also, I do not like the new formulation it's very different (obviously not ulta's fault) and the coverage is weak so I am happy the employee on the floor let me know. I like ultas selection and sales, the service is hit or miss, but I'll keep coming back for the great deals.

Well, let me say this first. Hope, you are, an Angel, and an awesome stylist of course. I believe, sometimes, there is a greater power at work and we live in a small world. If you read this review, I will convince you, of why I believe that. I was visiting my Daughter, my hair was a mess after being on the road for 2 weeks from Georgia. I was in desperate need for some root coverage. I had no clue where to go and had spent so much time looking online for a salon. Feeling overwhelmed, I finally decided to just drive to Carlsbad Village, I had seen it had a list of boutique style salons. I drove around and decided to park and walk. Parking was a pain but I endured and thought, I Hope I find something, I thought my gut would tell me if something was right. As I am walking out of the parking lot, a young lady was walking to her car. I thought I would just ask her by chance, if she could recommend a hair salon. She smiled and said " Entourage" I remember reading reviews, that were all good. Then she proceeded to ask what I needed done, she then told me she worked at Entourage but her appt had cancelled on her and she was going home. Without any hesitation, I knew it was right. And it was perfect. And her name was Hope. From the moment I sat in the chair, I knew It was meant to be. Hope was amazing, professional, confident and a great listener. Anyway, this is a long winded story but the reason I feel it was meant to be, and a small world. Upon checking out, I am chatting away to Hope and I talking about Georgia. One of the stylists is sitting at the reception and asked me where in Georgia? I said she probably wouldnt have heard of it but, I told her McDonough. She said she had lived there for some of highschool years. I said " Do you know _ _ ? And she said " OMG, I am Meghan, your Daughter and I were friends. When I finally realised who she was, she had been to my house several times in Georgia , I was blown away. Out of all the salons and all the people in California, I was meant to go there. I hope there is a reason why, this happened. I still cant believe it a small world indeed. Thank you Hope and Meghan for making my day. read more

I had moved here from out of state in October 2017. It took me until January 2018 to finally get around to making a hair appointment. I usually book appointments 6 weeks out from the day of my color. Between moving, unpacking and family issues, I was desperate, truly in need of help. My roots were the worst evah. (Hint of where I of moved from). Lol. I walked in and asked for help. They booked an appointment for me with Meghan. What a Godsend!! She did such a great job with my hair color, I love it! She went a little lighter and blended it perfectly. She suggested for me to get a water filter for my shower, not to strip my new shade. Which I did. Thankfully. She is not only great at what she does, she's such a nice person! I'm so glad I went to Entourage and it's local with 20+ years of family business. I've booked my next appointments for color and Brazilian straightening. The staff was so nice to me too! I've found my new happy place! Thanks Meghan! Maryanne read more

New to California from the mId West. walked by this very nice beauty salon in Carlsbad, a town I have fallen in love with, I was just looking around the village, but when I walked into the salon, I decided to have a much needed facial because of a bit of too much California beach sun, and LOVED the facial given to me by Lisa, then when I was finished with my facial, I decided to go the whole way and have my hair done. A young lady planning her wedding, her name was Amber, gave me "the California Look" with a spur of the moment decision on my part, and 3 hours later, I walked our with short, sassy, highlighted hair instead of my brown and white East Coast Shag Cut I have had for too many years. Am so happy with my new look and I know that when I return to Carlsbad, California, I will definitely go back to Entourage Salon for "the works" on a very regular basis. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY! read more

Meghan was so great! I'm the type of person who is very strict with how my hair is styled and such, but when I was trying to decide exactly what kind of style and color I wanted for my hair, I couldn't decide. Meghan gave helpful suggestions on hair style options, and we both decided on what would be the best look. I absolutely LOVE the way Meghan styles hair, especially mine. She is not only experienced with her skills as a beautician, but her sense of humor, accuracy of communication, and professionalism is constantly magnified through her love for the art and her customers. I can't say enough about how much I'm grateful for her talent and expertise. It's rare to find someone to start and finish exactly what you want the first time! Ask for Meghan, she'll deliver what you want! read more

Try Entourage Salon once and you will never go anywhere else. My first time, Christina did such a perfect haircut. I have very fine hair and not a lot of it, so any mistakes show right up the first time I do my hair myself. We cut off a couple of inches and the haircut and color was perfect. AND I am VERY fussy about my hair. I live in Palm Springs and I will be traveling to Carlsbad for all my haircuts. Amy did my badly damaged nails. She worked wonders with them. A week later they are still looking great. Besides that she is a lot of fun to talk - if you're going to spend an hour with a manicurist, you want one you can chat with. I highly recommend this salon. The vibe is good, the people are pleasant and very good at what they do. What's not to like? read more

She was friendly, knowledgeable and recommended Amy for my nails and pedicure and Amber for my precision haircut. Megan was recommended for my husband's haircut. What a fabulous experience we had!

Her color work is flawless--natural, dimensional, and beautifully blended. My hair looks healthier and shinier than ever. She's also warm, calm, and very professional, which made the whole experience so comfortable. You can tell she really cares about her work. Highly recommend if you're looking for a top-tier colorist!

Acted as if it was my fault when I showed her the text exchange we'd had confirming my appointment. I left the salon and she conveniently still had our text thread saying she would reschedule and I said "no thank you" and he she passive aggressively heart emoji my comment. It was the black curly haired chic at the desk. Totally rude.

Trying someone new always stresses me out, especially with how finicky my hair can be. But since Michelle came highly recommended, I decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did--she absolutely nailed it on the first try and hit it out of the park again on my second visit! I'll definitely be sharing some pics to show off her amazing work. I've been so impressed that I've decided to stick with Michelle instead of going back to my old stylist. If you're a blonde looking for someone you can trust, Michelle is your go-to!

Guess I'll never know if she's good, bad or middling, as she doesn't answer phone calls and doesn't respond to voice mails, texts, emails or messages sent through her website. If you don't want my business, that's your prerogative. But at least make an attempt to be polite. Odd way to run a business.

Charles has primarily been my stylist and I am in love with everything about his atheistic and approach. Nando has done my hair a couple of times as well & he is so great. The salon is open air and friendly. Music and atmosphere are so pleasant & relaxing. The location is wonderful and all the stylists do work their clients rave about. There is not a pressure to buy things. Only relaxation. I highly recommended this salon if you are looking for your "person" to do your hair. Muah.

But I had a very uncomfortable experience with someone I believe was the owner or an employee. Around 1:30pm on Wednesday 04/30/25, I parked in one of their designated spots with my car on, staying inside to take a FaceTime call about a family emergency. I planned to leave in 10-15 minutes once the call ended. I understand I shouldn't have parked there, but the lot wasn't busy--there were open spots on both sides. Understandably, I would have left immediately if a customer was waiting on the spot I was taking up. A tall, blond man approached my vehicle and asked me to leave. I told him I understood and that I was just wrapping up a call and would head out. What caught me off guard was how aggressive he became. He started yelling, moved closer to my car, and said he would watch me until I left. I didn't even have a chance to roll up my window or put on my seatbelt before he began yelling again. I tried to handle it calmly, but his reaction made me feel unsafe. I take full responsibility for parking there, but the way he approached me felt unnecessary and intimidating. I hope it was just a bad day for him, but I wanted to share this experience in case others find themselves in a similar situation.
