I wandered around the Barnyard (I was staying at the Carmel Mission Inn next door) to all the different salons (4 that I saw) and checked out their style and prices. Yolanda's best fit the bill/look and was able to get me in practically right away. My stylist was Louise. She took the time to make sure we were on the same page-I showed her a few pics of what I was looking for. Mind you I'm not doing so hot financially but had been working hard and wanted a little pampering. I felt pretty comfortable right away that I was going to get my money's worth. Louise was a riot, I heard about her cupcake competition and how she came to be at Yolanda's salon. All said and done she did a great job and I was able to get away with the blow out for the next two days at the races. Definitely recommend her for hairstyle/blow out.

You'd think it would be easy to find a great place to get a men's haircut/style in Carmel but the opposite is true. Loads of women focused salons and they will cut men's hair but the reality is it's not their focus."A mans gotta do what a man's gotta do." ( thanks again Clint). And that is getting a great cut not just an ok cut . Patti, owner of O Salon, hired Samantha ( goes by "Sam") to fill the hole of dedicated men's service by bringing Sam -- she's worked over 10 years in men's hair services. I love my haircut today. Lived in almost 5 years and never could fine The One. I am certain if you go you will love it. She asks questions about what you want instead of telling you what you need. Go now and see for yourself.

I arrived at 3:55 for my 4:00 appointment , only to be told by the stylist that she was running late and I would have to come back at 4:30 or that I could come back the following day . I couldn't come back the next day so I didn't have much choice . I returned at 4:30 only to be informed by the stylist that I would have to continue to wait . I looked at the person in the chair and realized that my wait was going to be awhile . I didn't say a word but walked out . I don't know if they have so much business that the loss of a local client is unimportant, or perhaps a case of age discrimination. I am over 65 but not invisible.

I wanted to update my previous review. I ended up reaching out to the salon because my hair really…read morewas upsetting me and did not reflect a balayage color style at all. The salon was very quick to reply to my email and gave me a call. They asked what I was unhappy about with my hair and they completely understood and were very apologetic. They thanked me for reaching out and wanted to do whatever was needed so I was happy with my hair and experience. They booked me with the owner, Katlyn. I went in today and she was very kind, knowledgeable, and asked me multiple questions about my hair and what my goals were, so she could fix what I didn't like. She also had two people shadowing her, so she was able to explain exactly what she was doing to correct my hair which was helpful, because I was interested as well. Katlyn showed enthusiasm during my visit and was very professional. She was personable and friendly. I was only there for an hour and a half but I had such a nice experience, it honestly felt much quicker because she and the girls helping her were so engaging. I will say my experience was lightyears different than my initial experience. I am very happy with my hair and I offered to tip Katlyn for her time, but she refused and really appeared like she was happy to have helped me. Overall, I would actually recommend coming here and I will likely come back.

I mentioned I was getting ready for a special occasion and there was basically no conversation, energy, or effort to make the experience feel enjoyable or personalized. The styling itself also felt underwhelming. I was told my hair probably wouldn't hold, and only a very light amount of hairspray/product was used. Unfortunately, I left feeling like I could have achieved the same result at home myself. At this price point, I expected more attention to detail, warmth, and overall service.

This was my first visit and it will definitely not be my last. Ashley's years of color expertise and careful listening skills left me with the most gorgeous hair I have had in years. The salon is small and private and looks out upon a beautiful courtyard with orchids and other lovely plants. Because it is a small salon there is no noise or chitter chatter going on in the background from other stylists or customers which led to a very calm and relaxing experience. Highly recommend Ashley and Salon Medusa!

Locals are the best bet for that info and that's how we found Capelli. Annette runs her shop located in the Baryard area of Carmel. One woman show but her site is fairly large- I guess she decided working alone was easier- a lot of "artists" seem to do this. She spends a lot of time trying to understand what's working what's not with your hair. She has definite opinions about what's going on-- too long, too short in areas etc. she will do whatever you want but will try and guide you to a better look. I like that as I tend to go for a longer look. I'm very satisfied and like the look I get. I may be stereotyping but almost all the women I've had cut my hair over time don't spend much time on the "finishing" touches-- trimming sides and eyebrows with a final touch- I think it's because they don't do that for women. Just an FYI and if it's important to you just ask.
