I am a snowbird and my wife and I needed a haircut. This Salon was highly recommended and it was amazing. Eddie cut my hair in a way that it has never been cut before. I have gotten so many compliments. Please don't hesitate to go to this salon read more

I just moved to the area and was looking for a stylist and I am so excited to have found Eddie. He not only nailed my color and cut but I think he gave me the best blowout l've ever had! He's so talented and so kind. Thank you Eddie for making me feel beautiful again. I highly recommend him !! read more

Desi at Giancarlo Salon might just be my new hair hero! Let me tell you, my head of hair is no easy job--thick, curly, light red, and with a mind of its own. After a series of less-than-magical hair appointments around the valley (let's just say one was a major faux pas), I was skeptical. But Desi? Not even slightly intimidated. He tackled my hair like a seasoned lion tamer. I mean, I spend enough on my hair that it probably qualifies as a "lifestyle choice" at this point, and I have high expectations! Desi, you've officially saved my mane. Thanks for making me look fabulous and taming the beast! read more

Wendy is THE best hair stylist I've had in LA. I've done blonde, brown, and now a new coppery color recently. Wendy always takes care of me both hair wise and energetically (not to mention that she's hilarious). Also, if I ever suggest getting something wild done to my hair, Wendy always helps me focus in on what my hair desires really are before taking the plunge. I get my cuts, colors, and extensions done with Wendy. She truly is the best. You'll come in stressed and leave refreshed ! This is my most recent color done by her... a coppery red! She gave me a great that helped me get some volume for my thin locks (you might not see it but it's there;) read more

We visited Desi again on 4/15. My little sister got a short pixie cut and my mom got her hair trimmed. We love going to Desi! He's amazing at what he does and is fairly priced.

Giancarlo Salon - Wendy Torres (design) New cut and color. - Hair Salons Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Just simply, ask for Wendy!!! Wendy is a stylist to the stars (no...seriously,she is favorite actresses favorite stylist) and is a cut and color expert who has mentored and even trained others abroad. I have followed her wherever she goes for almost 20 years now and willing to make the drive wherever she goes including here which is now a 60 mile drive. I've tried other stylist in a pinch and always regret the decision because she knows what I want even when I don't. If you're looking for a new salon, cut, stylist or psychologist . . .for the cost of a haircut, go to Wendy. Just make sure to book her ASAP because her dance card will get filled up quickly once people find out there is a Diamond in the desert. read more

I have been going to Wendy for cut and color for over 3 years and she is the best! She is great at looking at an inspiration photo and talking you through how to realistically achieve the look. She always does an amazing job and gets my hair to look exactly how I pictured it!! read more

Honestly, if there's anyone that can do it all, it's Wendy. Hands down, she cuts the best, colors the best, and most recently, had a Straightening done. I hadn't had one in over 15 years due to a bad experience. But literally it's straight, with no chemical smell or elasticity to the hair. I'm mind blown at her capabilities. She IS the hair guru/ doc whatever you wanna call it, it's her! (FYI, I have extra thick curly hair) read more

Wendy Torres is THE BEST. Her hair color lasts way longer than any other I've had, it's the only one that doesn't make my scalp itchy (not sure what, but I think she adds magic to the mix!), and it's the only one that FULLY covers the stubborn grays on my hairline. The color itself is deep, dimensional, and natural but not boring. SO GOOD. Her cuts are also fantastic. And bonus, she's so much fun to spend a couple of hours with! Five stars isn't enough!! read more

Run, dont walk and get in front of Justin Smith for the hair transformation youve dreamed of! He took my DIY haircolor and turned it into something fabulous + cut. I am super picky and have experienced top colorists in NY, SF, and MPLs and am so glad to report that we have THE GUY here in Palm Desert!!! And he dries your hair thoroughly to get the best wave/curl! Thank you Justin. Love the color and cut and blowout!!! And he is a great conversationalist read more

Giancarlo Salon - Haircut, hair color, styling - Hair Salons Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Thank you so much Wendy!!! This woman is incredible. Not only does she make miracles with my hair but she took the time teach me how to take care of it. I have curly and for years didn't really know how to properly style it until Wendy. Thank you Wendy!!! You are amazing!! read more

Wendy has been my colorist and hairstylist for over 12 years now. I owned a salon many years ago and Wendy was my Lead Colorist. Even after closing the salon I have followed her because her talent is unmatched. Every crazy hairstyle idea she either convinces me it's not a great idea or she nails it when it's a good one. Wendy is the best. Amazing human. read more

I have been a client of Wendy's for 15 years. She is absolutely amazing. My blonde is perfection every single time, she is amazing with my extensions as well. I just love her personality and sitting in her chair is always such a fun experience. She knows exactly what she's doing and is always on trend with what's going on. Wendy is very professional and i love being in such a clean environment. read more

Wendy has been my stylist for 10 years and I have NEVER hair cheated on her! She is a brilliant colorist and I trust her completely. I usually just tell her to run with it when I'm in her chair because her training, experience and instinct far exceeds anything I can try to describe in terms of how I want my hair to look. You simply cannot go wrong with Wendy; you will fall in love. read more

Wendy did my hair and I love it. She is awesome, polite and sweet. Did my hair exactly the way I wanted. I will definitely go back to her again. read more

I moved to the Coachella Valley a few yeras ago and had been going to a salon in my old neighborhood for 42 years. A neighbor recommended Desi at Giancarlo Salon and so I made an appointment. I have been a constant client ever since my first visit. Desi is absolutely amazing and I wouldn't go anywhere else. You won't be disappointed as he excels in just every cut and every hair length. read more

I love this salon & I love Irina - she does an amazing job on highlights, coloring & haircuts. She is very experienced, sweet, fun & professional. Irina, also cuts my sons hair every month - my son just adores her & sits in the chair & just smiles at her. I recommend Irina 100%. You know those Russian Europeans - they got it all when it comes to beauty industry. Thank you Irina for making my family beautiful. I went to Irina couple of more times to get my son's haircut & color mine - she does an amazing job & I am happy with her work. Thank you, Irina read more

See all

I read the reviews but they are far from the true. I went for highlights and a left with a lot of copper looks ‍ i called them up and asked me to come back so she can fix it and I think that was worst! she, as I understand is new to the team but I will not give them another chance! the hair cut another disappointment! ....and on top extremely $$$$$ read more

I've had a challenge finding a good colorist here in the desert. Desi did a great job. The salon is nice with a pleasant atmosphere.

Fantastic hair salon! Marine is the most gifted hair stylist colorist I've even met. Cuts, color, styling.. you won't find anyone who can style your hair like Marine. I drive three hours just to have my hair done. Each way!! I highly recommend this wonderful fabulous salon!!! read more

I've been going to Wendy for 23 years and cannot say enough great things about her. She is the only one I trust to cut my hair even if I have to drive a little further. read more

I have now received three haircuts from Desi at Giancarlo's Salon and I couldn't be more pleased. Today, immediately after my cut, two women approached my lunch table to admire my hair and to ask who cuts it. Desi is precise while cutting, does a perfect blowout and is very professional. I recommend him highly. read more

I made an appointment with Gian Carlo. A week later, I walked in (on time!) and they told me he was double-booked. Which is total horse poop. Why? Well, when I booked the haircut, they sent me a confirmation text, and I responded, CONFIRMED! The day before my appointment, they sent me another confirmation text, and I replied again...CONFIRMED! I called them that day to confirm their location. They knew I was coming. They just gave my appointment to someone else. I realize that in this world there are probably people that are more important than I am. Just a few. But that ain't no way to treat a first-time customer. When I got there, and they told me Gian Carlo was double-booked, I had a choice...I could drive 25 minutes back to the shack, or get a haircut with an assistant. I got the haircut. It was OK. Not worth $55. And nothing I couldn't have gotten at the local Hair Hackery. Not going back, can't recommend. To end on a positive note, the shampoo was relaxing. read more

Wendy is amazing! I came to her with dried out, over-processed hair from years of going lighter in an attempt to mask my grays. We had a good discussion about what I wanted my hair to look like and she explained some ways that she could achieve that look. We decided on a plan that Wendy would execute in several sessions, over time so that my hair would not be damaged further but we could still achieve my goal. Every time I come to Wendy my hair just gets better and better. The fact that she also took into consideration my complaint of having to use a lot of heat on my hair daily in order to keep the frizz away has been such a game changer! One of my sessions was a Keratin treatment so now I don't have to blowdry my hair all the time. It dries naturally with minimal frizz and there's still a bit of natural wave that comes through so it doesn't look artificially straight, just smoother. She has shaved so much time off of my every day hair maintenance and saved my hair for all that damage! I look forward to my hair appointments with Wendy because my hair just keeps getting better and better on top of the fact that she has such a great personality! She is always happy to see you, always smiling, but that's just Wendy...it's not fake or forced she is just a ball of energy full of passion for her craft. I look forward to my next appointment! read more

Wendy is Amazing! She always does a great job with anything I request whether it's a different hair color or hair extensions. I have a lot of hair and, it is thick and long. In the past many hair stylists have got very stressed as soon as they touch my hair but not Wendy, she is always up for the challenge. I always walk out feeling amazing. Not only is she a great stylist, She has great energy. I really enjoy my hair sessions with her. read more

Wendy Torres is a treasure! I have been seeing Wendy for about 12 years often traveling from out of state to do so. She is amazing with my fine blonde hair- adding body and the perfect cut and color to make me look my best. She is such a talented person! The desert (and Giancarlo Salon) has scored a rare gem. read more

Desi did an outstanding job on my hair cut and style. His confidence with my long hair gave me piece of mind since many hair stylists are apprehensive with longer hair but Desi proved otherwise. He is very knowledgeable about hair and how it should be cut in regards to someone's face shape and how the person styles their hair on a daily basis. Not only is he an amazing hair stylist but he is a great person in general. Desi shows professionalism and he also knows how to have fun with ones hair and helps you have fun while getting your hair cut. I trust him with my hair and will come back to him when I need another cut. read more

Wonderful salon with great talent in customer service. Paula is just terrific, listens and helps create a plan for your hair. Very responsive too. read more

I did my research and found this place to finally cut my below chest thick healthy hair. I specifically said I wanted a master stylist to give me long layers. They said they had a master stylist for me and I booked the apt. Well. They knew nothing about this stylist. It was their first day there. She rushed me and butchered my hair (you can literally see hack lines in it) it's so bad that I wear it up very day while growing out the disaster she made. I emailed the owner but zero response. Waited a few months for a response... Not a word. Do not go here. Horrible. read more

I've never loved my hair as much as i do now. Paula is so great and really takes care of you! Now that I've found her i won't let anyone else touch my hair. Amazing professional service! 10/10 read more

This salon is amazing! Desi is so sweet and personable. He really puts a lot of time and consideration into what you want and need. I just stopped in on a whim and wasn't expecting much, but I'm so glad I did! He did such a good job and gave me exactly what I was looking for. A++! Go and see him, you'll be glad you did. read more

Owner refunded the $45 for the poor blowdry. Thank you. It was the right thing to do.

One of the best haircut I ever had. Desi is very talented, skilled and attentive hairstylist. He took the time and care to deliver a great cut that would perfectly fit. High quality products and overall, somewhat has a European touch. The prize absolutely reasonable for the level of good quality. It felt good to get out with a smile and feeling rejuvenated. The location is also a plus and has plainty of parking in the back. I absolutely recommend it! read more

Having had my hair done at salons all over the world I was extremely happy with my experience at Giancarlo. The owner Desi used my formula without making changes which I really appreciated. His assistant Irina was so skilled at both color and the blow out that I would feel comfortable having her do the entire process. I have been there twice now and just booked my 3rd appointment before leaving the desert. I highly recommend this lovely salon. read more
