I had to spend more money at another salon to fix the damage. This was a significant financial loss for me, and I'm sharing this so others don't end up in the same situation. How they can take money and know they in no way delivered what I paid for and it all fell out in the first two weeks?! Is beyond me and I recomend you consider your going there after hearing how they handle a client who spent over $1,000.00. The professional salon I turned to and had to pay the same again , has don't it correctly and not a single one has fallen out in over a month on top of fixed the color and roots and were shocked at what salon bamboo allowed anyone to pay for and treated so poorly!

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.

In my message, I specifically shared that I was looking for a queer/trans-friendly salon. I also explained that I have been a loyal client who has previously flown out of state to see my longtime stylist, but I was hoping to find someone local. I never received a response to my message, so I called. The person that answer confirmed the owner had received message and told me a person outside their salon would be a "better fit." I reached out to that person as well and received no response. Message received. The whole experience was disappointing and honestly painful. Looking for a new stylist as a queer/trans person already comes with a lot of anxiety around whether a space will actually be safe and welcoming. Sadly, this interactions let me know that my concerns were real. I can't speak to their intentions, but I can speak to the impact: I did not feel welcomed, wanted, or safe as a prospective LGBTQ client. I wish businesses could be more direct about who they aren't prepared to serve, because being quietly redirected elsewhere after explicitly asking for a queer/trans-friendly space feels awful.

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.

I searched yelp for colorists in my area and Christine's name popped up - Well let me tell you, She's Incredible!!! The color is FABULOUS!! So subtle but rich, so pretty. Additionally, she only used 1 color, (other hairstylist used 2) so less processing on my baby fine hair. She was so great that I choose to have her do my extensions, and she not only put in the weft type I was wearing, she COLORED the one I had bought from the other stylist who picked out the wrong color, and I was stuck with it. Christine colored the weft beautifully, and that's tricky at best. Christine also applied the weft with much less strain to my scalp, then suggested a new type of individual smaller strands for my sides, that so far are AWESOME!

My appointment was on March 2, 2024. Please see the pictures. The haircut was so uneven, one side was far longer than the other. The highlights were very streaky.
