    From dark hair to new extensions and highlights to cover my greying head
    Shay W.

    Kati Arent is so so so good at what she does. She is a hair genius!! Seriously! I cannot give her enough accolades . I have had a few hair stylists in my time. I am very particular and picky. I've been called high maintenance by many past hair stylists. I am not proud of this, but I have even had one tell me to go somewhere else because I would stress her out. I only bring this up, because I trust Kati with whatever she does for my hair. I have never ever felt like that before with any one who has done my hair. She is so in tune with what is desired of her clients and she masters all she does. I cannot speak highly enough of her expertise. 10 stars if I could give them. I drive from Oceanside to see her and she's worth every dollar spent

    I have been going to Kati for a couple years now and she has always gone above and beyond for me. Kati has continually achieved the most beautiful lived-in blonde color for my hair that allows my darker roots to grow in and blend with my blonde so naturally. (Included multiple pictures of the various blonde tones she has done for me.) Anytime I want to try something new, she is able to match the color and style in inspiration pics perfectly, and she actually even achieves a color and look that is even better than the inspo pictures. I recently got married and Kati spent over half of her work day making sure she provided the most intentional color and cut for my hair. She used pictures from my wedding hair trial to know exactly what sections of my hair to provide extra close attention to detail so that my blonde color was perfect in my half up, half down wedding hairstyle. I will forever be grateful for the time and thought she put into this appointment before my wedding. Beyond her skill, Kati also creates a warm and inviting environment when you sit down in her chair. I look forward to my appointments when we get to catch up on the new updates in each others' lives. If you've been waiting to make a switch to a new hair stylist or looking for someone who will achieve your hair dreams, I couldn't recommend Kati more.

    Kati helps to keep my blondes bright but perfectly blends my darker roots to allow for a natural grow out.

    I was a pro surfer and never highlighted my hair because the sun did it naturally. After retiring…read morefrom surfing I was still modeling and needed more than a beautiful cut. Worked with a stylist couple who trained with some of the best and eventually they retired. Went to another salon which started out well and ended up with an orange hair disaster. Called Wheeler Davis and spoke to the owner. Explained my needs, including a color correction and wanted a fabulous longterm stylist to work with as I was modeling. Discovered he booked me with the 'walk in stylist" so I only booked a consult. During my consult I realized the stylist knew her stuff and wondered why the salon wasn't allowing her to build a client base. Well I discovered why when a few months later over half the staff walked out due to poor working conditions, unhappy clients and along with a dose of snooty vibe. I followed the stylist who did my color correction and have been with her ever since. Heard Lo is interested in the Who's Who and famous people in the surfing world which I understand from a marketing standpoint. Lo darling...I'm in the Hall Of Surfing Fame and would have been happy to refer your salon but was treated like I was happy with Supercuts.

I've never had ANYONE pay such close attention to a haircut and take their time on my hair before. I drove from San Diego and can say I will be definitely be going back. The location is beautiful and the inside of the salon is so aesthetically pleasing.

    Horrible service! Nobody ever replied to my emails. I sent pics of my hair for a consultation. What…read morea waiste of time. Ended up at at bowhead and spent $469.00 and so pleased. Oh well, their loss.

    I am sad to give this review, but after my bad experience and talking to the owner , it got worse…read more I do not recommend coming here for the "salon experience" where you expect to feel taken care of and to walk out feeling cute! I booked a hair cut for today with Stephanie, the salon owner. My booking said the hair cut would be $80-150. I arrived at 11:20 when my appointment was at 11:30, and she was finishing her client still. No problem! She got to me on time and did our consultation before washing my hair. The haircut was fine as I expected. As a cosmetology student, I have been following & admiring her work on instagram for about a year. What I noticed was she didn't drape me for a wash, her tools came out of a bag so I can't be sure they were disinfected, and there was hair on my chair from the previous blonde client 5 minutes before me. I was so excited to get the layered shaggy cut of my dreams. Besides cleanliness, the issue came to styling & professionalism. She was rushed because as I would come to find out, her next client was at 12:30. This leaves literally no time between clients to properly clean and disinfect your station and tools...Anyways, I have coarse, dry, textured hair. This was not taken into account when she used high heat to diffuse my hair, very little curl cream product, and no heat protectant. I'm not dumb, I know this is to save time and $ on product. To say the least, my hair came out frizzy, not completely dry, and so poofy I wanted to cry. In fact I did in the parking lot lol. When she asked if I liked it, I was polite and honest and said i didn't like the styling and it was really frizzy and dry. I could sense she was offended. She offered a serum but I knew it wouldn't help my curls form at this point bc they were just blasted with heat to get me out of that chair quickly enough for her next client. I paid $155 plus $23 to tip. I was confused about this because I left with frizzy , not Completely dry hair... so i didn't know why it was at the highest price possible. I called hoping to get this resolved because I truly felt ugly after my cut and disappointed with my experience/ the fact that I spent that much on something that made me feel horrible. However when I called, she dismissed my problems, assured me that the online booking system told me how my hair cuts were with her specifically, but they didn't as you can see in the photos I attached. She kept interrupting when I voiced my concerns so I hung up after wishing her a nice day since she didn't want to hear my concerns or constructive criticism. I do believe she laughed at me over the phone but I'm not sure. I hope not. Please don't come here if you want to have a self care day or if you have wavy or curly hair. Save your money! **Editing this review to update y'all that stephanie left me a very long and condescending voicemail after I left this review. She mentions she doesn't understand the point of me leaving a review and that she doesn't know what i want from her... Any sort of suggestion/ resolution/ apology would have helped loads when I initially called her lol. She also offered to help me in my career and talk about this , but it came across very condescending, especially since I had the worst experience I've ever had at a salon coming here... Also I noticed my hair cut was butchered and done pretty lazily so I will sadly have to pay to get it fixed once my awful fringe grow out.

I absolutely love my haircut. The hair wash scalp massage alone was next level! I joked that I'd come back every week just for that I've wanted to go shorter for a while, but other stylists have talked me out of it. McKenna was so open to the idea and cut it in a way that felt short enough to try something new, but still long enough to grow out easily if I decide to. Don't let the "assistant" title fool you when booking. She's seriously talented. Take a look at her IG and you'll see! The salon itself is gorgeous and super clean. Booking online was easy, which I loved, and there's plenty of parking. I'll definitely be back!

    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.
