I gave The Last Resort 5 stars back in 2018 they are still as incredible as ever. I ended up…read morehaving to drive to Salinas to see Adriana (my first stylist there) because she moved. I was unable to see her for a few months and the grey really went crazy - I had about 6" of grey roots growing out from a great set of highlights. This time I saw Jennica, and she knocked it out of the park! It was quite a job not only covering the grey, but making the highlights look like my hair grows out like that naturally - quite a feat. And, not only did she do a KILLER job, but the price was totally reasonable. I was thinking I might have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it. I'm thrilled with my hair and she deserves all of the 5 stars I'm giving her and The Last Resort.

I couldn't say enough GREAT things about Val and her team! I got married at the end of July, and we…read morehad a tough time finding someone to do hair and makeup. Luckily my planner found The Last Resort! I have long, straight hair that doesn't hold styles well, but I was intent on having romantic waves and curls on my wedding day. Val had me in the salon for a trial run on the day of our rehearsal dinner, and my hair held from about 10 in the morning, through the rehearsal dinner, and until I went to bed that night! The next day (wedding day!) Val and Judy (makeup) met me at the venue to get started. I had a couple of changes I wanted to make to my makeup, and Judy was very receptive and got me the exact look that I wanted. Meanwhile, Val got to work on my hair right away. She also did my (very shy) sister's hair and my (very emotional) mom's hair, and earlier that day had done hair for my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, niece, and friend! I was a little worried about timing, but I sent everyone's requests to Val, and she worked everything out perfectly. My mom was really fretting about her hair, but Val was so reassuring. She is truly skilled at working with hair AND with people! She helped us all feel at-ease and made our hair look beautiful. I'm new to the area, so this also set me up with a great contact for future hair needs. ;) I've already been back to Val for a haircut!

Have you ever experienced a hair transformation that genuinely changed your life? From the moment I…read moresat in Lisa's chair, I sensed something extraordinary was about to happen. Lisa intuitively knew exactly what I needed. After offering her recommendation and ensuring I was comfortable, she worked her magic. It is truly no exaggeration to call it magic. Lisa has a remarkable ability to see you and know precisely how to enhance your best features. With long hair, I had always resisted significant cuts until meeting Lisa. When she suggested removing six inches, I immediately agreed without hesitation. I trusted her expertise completely, and she exceeded all expectations. Lisa not only removed the damaged ends but also helped me release the energy accumulated in those six inches. While it might sound unconventional, after experiencing Lisa's transformative touch, I felt different. I felt lighter physically, mentally, and emotionally, as if freed from a burden. I have never had a haircut so profoundly impactful on so many levels. Typically, I leave a salon with nicer hair, but with Lisa, I feel truly renovated, rebuilt, and ready for all the good things coming my way. And can we talk about how heavenly it is to have your hair washed by Lisa? Her pressure and touch are perfect, and you can genuinely feel the care she puts into every moment. I would happily pay just for her to wash my hair. Now, as amazing as all of that was, I saved the best for last. I have dark brown hair and asked Lisa for a fun change. From our initial conversation, Lisa already had a clear vision. She bleached and colored my hair with a beautiful array of shades that complement my natural color, skin tone, and personality perfectly. Lisa custom blends colors to ensure they are just right for me, creating a unique look that no one else has. My hair is truly a work of art. People constantly compliment it. It is a fantastic conversation starter and a tremendous confidence boost to hear, "You have gorgeous hair," "Your hair is phenomenal," "I've never seen such complimentary hair colors," "I can't imagine you any other way now," "You radiate" every time people see me. It's incredible! My husband now has several cute nicknames for me and absolutely loves my new look. Lisa has upgraded so many aspects of my life: my appearance, my confidence, and the number of positive interactions I have, to name a few. Truly, Lisa has given me the opportunity to reinvent myself and become the person I truly want to be. I LOVE MY HAIR & I LOVE THE NEW ME!

Theres no way she can justify that my hair was dead enough to warrant that bc i had gotten a haircut from her a couple months before and she noted I had very healthy hair.

I have been growing my hair for years and for her to cut it so that it is shorter than it was a whole year ago when i wanted half an inch of really sucks. Do not go to Judy if you Don't want her to cut multiple more inches than you ask for. I really thought she was a good hairdresser at first but now I have no trust in her and would not come back.
