Love this salon! Marisol is a fantastic hair stylist and so sweet. I love my new blonde hair. I…read morehave a sensitive head and she is so gentle and never hurts me. Marisol uses great products too. I'm a brunette gone bleach blonde and my hair still looks shiny and feels amazing. I had gone to a previous salon and the stylist turned my hair orange. I was recommended to go to Marisol and I'm so happy I did! I wish I would have found her first. She got my hair to such a beautiful blonde tone and am in love with my new hair. Hannah and Tom are also amazing and so sweet. They both are so talented with nails and eyelash extensions. I've had my lash extentions and acrylics done by Hannah and she did such an amazing job. Tom does my gel manicures and pedicures and also does an amazing job. No matter what service I receive, I leave so happy.

The Experience: This place is really clean and pretty. The…read moreowner Marisol was SUPER nice and put in a lot of effort to make sure I got what I wanted. She asked a lot of questions about my hair that most hair dressers just gloss over (ex. How do you like your bangs? Do you want a sharp or round cut at the bottom? Do you want it styled wavey or straight before you leave? Do you need to go to the restroom? When do you normally wash your hair/how do you usually style it?). It just seemed like she really cared about giving me a style that would fit my aesthetic AND lifestyle. She also offered me coffee and homemade almond cookies, to top it off! The Haircut: The cut and coloring was superb. The pricing was pretty good/fair considering I have a LOT of thick hair. For the record, I am Asian and have typical thick/course Asian hair. It was around 161 for a balayage color, cut, style and leave in conditioner. Overall, would highly recommend! Here's a picture of the end result:

Entrance to her salon is secure and straightforward, booking incredibly easy at any hour. I have a particular vision for my hair, I've yet to see it on anyone else.

Her communication is thorough and consistent and I know she will make it perfect for both of us before calling it complete. Leaving her chair gives me so much confidence, even from a touch up. THANK YOU, I'm so happy I have a stylist I can trust and more importantly, I'm excited to see.

I can never thank Lena enough for teaching me how to care for my hair properly and for making me feel gorgeous every visit.

Then when she called back she starts the conversation with hello???? Who's this? If you're going to use your personal cell phone number as your business phone you should be expecting calls from unknown numbers especially when they're from the surrounding area codes! Very unprofessional and rude in talking on the phone. I asked for a product that I get from my hair dresser and I was looking to find the product for cheaper and instead of politely saying I'm sorry I can't sell the product to you she said go get it from your hairdresser then!

I am not one to get my hair done very often. During this past year, with COVID, I got 1 haircut and…read moreI even had my husband cut my hair for me (which didn't turn out terrible) but since I was working from home, it didn't really matter too much. I messaged Anita through yelp to find out how much a cut and color would cost. I have medium length, thin hair, and I am very low maintenance, but needed to cover my greys and wanted to get a little auburn color in it. She had me text her the details of what my current hair looks like and what I wanted. I sent her pictures and I scheduled an appointment for today. I am super happy with the results of my cut and color. Anita listened to what I wanted and knows what she is doing! She gave me a great layered cut with side bangs and the color that I was looking for! My hair needed a little lovin' and she definitely delivered. Will definitely be going back.

Upon walking in, it was very comfortable meeting with Michelle and Manny for the first time -…read moregranted I also haven't really socialized for most of this year. They have one of the salons located inside Salon Republic. To get to Salon Republic, on google maps, it directs you the long way to get there. The quickest way would be parking in the lot between JCPenney and the food court, where there is an outside sign that says Salon Republic. Once you walk in, they are in Salon #102 which is right nearby the reception desk. Salon Republic consists of several salons/hairdressers within. They have a directory also at the front desk, and it lists all salons/others within. Restrooms are more towards the inside. The best method would be to text their number to get pricing along with making an appointment. They squeezed me in same day as I let them know I was expecting soon and was just vying for an overdue cut, and they had availability. I haven't gotten a haircut since like Nov/Dec so my hair was LONG. They were the first to listen to what it is that I wanted and not offer a bob cut. About 90% of other places have ALWAYS cut my hair shorter than I wanted, which prompted me to not go back. I got the cut I wanted along with suggestions from them - if I wanted a bit of layering/certain things before they actually did it. The hair wash was amazing - there's just something about when someone else washes your hair! They have two adorable doggies (Freyja and Boondocks) who would love to greet you if you go in. Boondocks likes to sit on your lap. They mainly slept the entire time I was there. I am slightly allergic, but was fine inside as they had two filters running at the top and they had hand sanitizer inside. I got to give Freyja a pat before leaving. So free dog therapy while getting your hair done. For services, they do coloring, highlights, balayage, non-surgical hair replacement (men), hair extensions, barber cuts, scissor cuts, clipper cuts, etc. Clipper cuts are $40 and up, scissor cuts are $50 and up. They accept venmo, cash, or card. Also I heard that Manny does curly hair very well! I am looking forward to going back, but will have to wait after baby comes out and postpartum hair loss! Which is a bummer since I feel like I actually found a hair salon that I finally feel at home with. They're in the process of updating their social medias on instagram - @salondelatorriente but they also have examples of some their work through their stylist accounts @meshellbellhair and @hairbymannyv Definitely recommend checking this place out! Also to add, you'll get to watch the movie of choice ongoing in the background. Time traveler's wife was on during my time there.
