i came to hair we are yesterday as a first time client & saw lindsay. my hair was such a disaster not even red cross would give me coffee. my previous stylist had left me with ugly green ashy hair (long, sad story) & my first thought was to call hair we are & see if lindsay was available (i've known her since baaaaack in the day, elementary school status) because she has such a great reputation in town. i have also seen her work on social media. she was nice enough to squeeze me in as soon as she could. it's okay, what was a few more days wearing my hair tied back? i had been rocking the librarian bun for weeks already. lindsay literally saved my hair-life. she corrected my color & got my hair looking back to normal & healthy. instead of just putting dye over the disaster, she took additional steps to make sure the problem was fixed & would hopefully not come back. i liked how she took her time & was very tedious. she also gave me tips on how to care for my hair since it was getting to the point of being over-processed. i thank her so much for all the help & her price was totally fair. the salon is really cute, i love the color scheme. but more importantly, it's clean & organized. lindsay had mentioned that the salon gets cleaned regularly & i love that. makes for a better salon experience, in my opinion. seems like hair we air is a well oiled machine, which is what is needed for a place with such a high volume of stylists/clients. i've heard great things about other stylists there, too. so if you're not already a client of theirs, i def recommend hair we are. i'm giving my hair a break for a few months, but i'll be back for sure. read more

Best salon in Watsonville. Affordable and great staff. Also a good place to buy products. Lindsay has been doing my hair for years. She's so fast and my hair is so healthy and the color is beautiful. I always get compliments on my hair. I used to get hair extensions, now o don't even need them. My hair looks so healthy and long. read more

I got my color done with Lindsay and let me tell you, the woman is talented. She was able to get me from a medium dark brown to my cool blonde in one go. I like to know cost and time commitment up front, it's just how I like to plan before I jump into a hair commitment and she was super sweet to answer all my questions and I had plenty. Another great thing was education, she told me exactly what I needed to do to maintain my hair recommend products, sent me screen shots, even tried to help me find extension I really wanted and didn't have patience to wait and order. To top it off, I'm kind of shy and she's super outgoing so it made it that much easier for me to feel comfortable. 100 percent great experience. Thank you Lindsay! I really love my hair! read more

I was a client of Shawna's before she came to Hair We Are, and traveled 65 miles each way every 4 weeks to see her. Her coloring was super great and I always loved her edgyness, she always played the "you can't see til I am done" game, cut and color, and there were days I was there for hours under her shears.....but she always did a great job, her cuts grow out and keep shape for months.....I have since moved too far away to see Shawna anymore and I myself have started beauty school......but I sure do miss her................Hi Shawna baby, hope you are doing well :P Lea read more

I can't believe that it's already been a little over a month that I got married. I couldn't have done it without my hair artist Amanda. She prepped my hair color before my wedding and we had a wedding updo trial. She was patience and listened to my ideas. She is a master at what she's does. Showed her some pictures of what I liked. She then took the ideas and created a masterpiece on my head. It could not be more fitting for my wedding day in Hawaii. Thank you so much Amanda for doing what you do best. If you need someone to take care of you on your very special day or a special event book an appointment with Amanda. She's the best and her books get filled up quick. read more

I called for a price check and the lady said" WE DONT DO NAILS HERE." IF THATS THE CASE, TAKE THE NAIL SALON TAB OFF OF YELP. I go by ratings not by categories (even though it does help.) Quit advertising yourself as a nail salon and wasting people's time and consideration. read more

Needed to find a new stylist for my crazy hair. Mattie was highly recommended. I called Mattie, and we made an appointment within a day! She was so very kind, and thoughtful, and knew how to cut curly hair! She's been cutting hair for 31 years, and KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS DOING! We talked about how I like my hair cut, SHE LISTENED!!! She cut my hair, EXACTLY HOW I LOVE IT! I haven't had a great style in years. I've been disappointed so many times before, I just got used to having, bad cuts. If you want a great stylist that, LISTENS, MATTIE is the girl for you! Hey Mattie, I LOVE my new cut!!! read more

If you are looking for a good hair cutt in Santa Cruz county I would pay a visit to Shawna. She cut my hair about 3 months ago and I can still style my hair. Hi Shawna! read more

I was recommended to use this salon. The woman told me which people would do a good cut at a really low price. I told a friend of mine about the recommendation and she decided to go. She received a really good cut and enjoyed the stylist. She was though a little surprised at the price. On this site it says a woman's cut is $24 or $28. It was actually $40. And don't forget the tip. She may go back but next time she will be prepared for the cost. read more

This place is fabulous! I found it by looking up salons on Yelp and made an appointment with Esther. She is terrific and the salon is a fun place - very busy and several stylists. Esther shared that most of them have been working there together for many years, so there isn't the typical drama of other salons. It's obvious the place is a local favorite, plenty of people there on Saturday morning and everyone was very friendly. Esther is very nice and TRIMMED my hair as requested - I will be coming back and encourage you to give a try if you're looking for a salon in Watsonville. read more

I just went to see Maddie for the first time on Saturday.She was great to speak wtih on the phone when I was making my appointment and she was wonderful in person. She did a great job on my hair. She gave me a Keratin color glaze and a cut. I will be coming back to her! read more

I am a male who gets my hair cut at Hair We Are. I go to Lindsay because she is great in her work and has such an upbeat attitude (not to overlook she's a cutie too with great tat on her shoulder)! In fact everyone there is just really friendly and a pleasure to be around. They seem to work together and the chairs are always full, so they are doing things right. Nice to see a local business operate the way they do. Mark P. read more

Amanda is great! She always listens to what you want and makes it better! I would not think of going anywhere else. The rest of the staff is wonderful! read more

Is it just me or does everyone come out looking the same??? Nasty orangey blond with long not so attractive layers. Definetly sticking to Santa Cruz salons. read more

You MUST try the Brazilian Blowout!! I don't even know where to begin to describe this. I have extremely thick and curly hair and it literally would take me over an hour and a half to straightened my hair. After having done the Brazilian Blowout, my hair is done in just fifteen minutes! I just blow dry my hair and my hair remains smooth and frizz free. Prices are reasonable especially compared to other salons. It is worth every penny! Schedule your appointment with Amanda, she is amazing! She answered all my questions and made me feel really relaxed. Just come prepared to be there for a little while,but in the end its all well worth it. Take it from a girl who had given up on her hair. I now have smooth, frizz free hair that looks and feels amazing. I couldn't be happier. read more

I live in San Francisco and drive all the way to Watsonville to get my hair done by Lindsay(sorry for the spelling if incorrect).

Ok....The people are AWESOME! They took my appointment at the last minute and never once did they make me feel like i needed to be rushed! I absolutely love my hair and Lindsay also gave me a lot of pointers for what i was looking for. Oh, and they are in the middle of a remodel so i anticipate the outcome will be great. : ) read more

First I'd like to say that my hair looks good. This was literally the first time I had gotten my hair done "professionally." That is not my problem with this place. My problem was that I felt that I was taken advantage of. My stylist was Tina. When I had called to make my appointment, I told her that my hair was just below the shoulders and thick. She quoted me $75-$85 dollars for all over color. $120 for cut and color. I just wanted the color. My hair is short enough for me. When I got there and discussed that I wanted to keep my natural hair color and just cover my gray she suggested that a touch up with some highlights should do it. Perfect! I didn't expect to pay less than she quoted me for a touch up. Problem is she doubled the price! I got just the crown of my head colored my natural brownish color and some highlights (she only used 7-8 foils to be exact, nothing over the top). $140. And yes I tipped her 15%. The kind of tip like at a restaurant with a bad waitress. I left with a bad taste in my mouth but the steak was good, right? In addition, she was pretty rough. She kept scratching me with her nails every time she ran her fingers through my hair. I had to hold my neck while she rinsed my hair and then she decided to throw some more color on my hair while in the sink. I was about done with the experience by then. She asked me if I wanted to blow dry or style it while towel drying me. (I honestly thought blow drying was part of the process. Who walks out of the salon with sopping wet hair?) I said let's blow dry it so I can see the color. She was definitely in a hurry because her husband was waiting for her so they could go pick up their grand kids. He was happily cleaning her station while swigging a Miller lite. (Seriously?) I don't like being taken advantage and being my first time I definitely learned an expensive lesson. I will swallow that. The beer drinking? It's pretty un-classy. Long nails scraping the scalp, please cut them, for the sake of the customers you aren't able to bs a price with. read more

Excellent with long hair, giving sexy but still businessy cuts to women. It's a bit of a drive from Santa Cruz but well worth it. Environment is friendly, professional. Cost is not bad either--makes it easier to leave a big tip! read more

Lindsay Pozzi is amazing at what she does! Kind, friendly, and extremely talented. Since taking ownership of the salon she has done many beautiful upgrades to the atmosphere inside. I don't trust anyone to do my hair, but I trust her. I tell her to do her thing, and I am never disappointed. Price is great for the product too! read more

I went to Hair We Are a Few days ago and I am very impressed with the salon, the friendly employees and the cleanliness. I had Drew Landecho cut my hair and I loved it. I am very picky when it comes to my haircuts and very hard to please. Drew is a perfectionist and made sure every hair was correct. You know a good haircut when you wake up the next day and it looks the same as when you went to bed! I will be back. Bonnie Stark Watsonville, ca read more

The Salon Hair We Are over in Watsonville is by far the best Salon in the area. Its extremely clean, and newly remodeled. It looks amazing inside! Like walking in to a salon in Hollywood! All the stylists there seem to be super friendly and good at what they do, but I personally reccommend ERIKA! She does such an awesome job at making your hair look and feel healthy and sexy! She knows how to rock a sexy man hair cut any day of the week, and as for us ladies, she is amazing at any type of hair style! read more

Never done a review before, but after getting compliments by strangers I thought I should review the hairstylist I go to. Im a guy and I like the mohawk/faux hair stlye. Amanda O does a great job at it, been going to her for over a year now. Always makes sure to ask if its the right lenght at the top and sides. Also she recommends different types of hair products to suit your needs, wether it be paste,gel,wax, or anything! Highly recommend her! read more
