Before and After
Kelly F.

Richelle made my hair feel and look better than it has in a long time. Thank you so much. Definitely highly recommend her to others!

My before and after!

Richelle always does such a lovely job!! I totally recommend her, she's very comfortable to be around, so sweet and does absolutely amazing hair! Everyone in the salon is so nice and does amazing work. I recommend this salon to anyone wanting their hair done!!!

Hair by Richelle

I absolutely love this little gem I found in the heart of Alpine! I've been coming here and getting my hair cut and colored by Richelle for about 2 years now. Honestly, my husband and 3 daughters also have Richelle do their hair too! From the first time I came here until now, everyone is always so friendly and inviting. I feel so comfortable when I'm there. Joani has done a remarkable job decorating the place inside and out and I love all of the accessories they offer. I not only get my hair done but I get to do a little shopping too! This is a full-service salon. They not only do hair, they also have an esthetician onsite who does all sorts of facial treatments as well as a person who does spray tans! They offer permanent makeup and nails too! I had a facial with Weslee and she was very knowledgeable and listened to my desires and concerns about my skin. She uses great products and did a fantastic job! The salon is kept very clean and they have a private parking lot with plenty of spaces to park. The stylist and specialist are all independent contractors so their hours vary. Just give them a call and let them know what you need. I recommend you give them a shot! You'll be happy you did!

Day of my hair cut, color, I don't know.. why so serious

I love going to Head East to get my hair done by Richelle! She's an amazing, & talented stylist that will take her time to give her clients what they need, and the exact look they are going for. She's funny as all get out with a heart of gold! The salon is an awesome little getaway itself too! Offering wine! & maybe other drinks I think sometimes. definitely book an appointment & treat yourself if you're in alpine.

Recommended for color. A big hard pass/Hell no for ANY kind of Reno extensions. I brought in premium Donna Bella tape ins, wefts (3!) For sew in yet for some reason they were taped in, and FOUR other expensive extensions with beads. The pain and not being able to sleep as I could NOT lay on head left me no other option but to pull them out and order a different kind, giving Richelle benefit of doubt and thinking it was ME. Ugh. $1270 in hair and $1,150 to Richelle over 6 months of agony is OUTRAGEOUS. The owner will not rectify, either. Joanie believes this is a friendship fallout, NOT neglience/extremely poor workmanship. ALL I asked for was to do the right thing, refund less than half I paid for services (Only asked for freaking $500 refund!). Here's what I say: DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL, ITS ONLY BUSINESS. Previous friends or not, NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY GRAND TOTAL OF $2175 FOR UNCOMPLICATED. EXTENSIONS. I am beyond pissed Richelle and/or owner Joenie will NOT make this fair/right. Honestly, I just cannot make this up. Simply outrageous. I RATE THIS SALON MINUS 3. I'M NOT A KAREN AND HAVE NEVER EVER FELT THE NEED TO SLAM A BUSINESS. UNTIL NOW. RIDICULOUS WITH ZERO RESOLVED

LOVE the way my hair looks and feels after a good cut. I think I just found my new go-to place! Joanie really takes the time to get to know what you're looking for, looks at the pictures you bring, the texture, and condition of your hair, and your daily routine. The ENTIRE place, including the Koi pond and poodle that sat in my lap a good part of the time, are super cute, welcoming, and make you NOT want to leave . Only gave 4 stars because I haven't had a chance to check out the Mani/pedi's, massage, waxing, or other things offered...Yet

This experience was amazing. I got a full set and gel…read morePedicure with Erika and she did NOT disappoint. Both her and Dawn were kind and had great customer service. The vibe was calm and relaxing. It wasn't crowded, but they book fast and do quality work. New Reflections and Erika definitely gained a regular client with me!

While I love getting pedicures, the part I dread the most is the callous scrub because of the uncomfortable almost painful sensation. This time, however, Dawn gave me the first EVER pedicure without the horrible ticklish feeling - amazing! When all was said and done, I wanted to do it all over again. Nancy took great care of my mom, who is a nice retired lady who enjoys working at the salon to keep her busy. My mom also enjoyed her experience. The environment is clean and calm with nice music in the background. We enjoyed it so much that we made an appointment for a future visit. Please note: While they may accept credit/debit cards, we were asked to pay with cash for a $120 bill. Since I didn't have enough with me, it was suggested that I go to the bank and come back and then pay. There was no indication cash is preferred. I didn't like that, especially since it was our first visit and we had made it clear it was. I'm sure it's related to what Visa/MC charges for its use. That said, I will bring cash next time.

This was my second time at this salon in the last month (January 2026). I picked it because of the…read morearea and it's a non-toxic salon! I get a basic gel polish manicure on my real nails and regular polish on my toes. My polish still looked great after 3 weeks, no chipping or peeling, and I am hard on my nails! I only went back so soon because my nails had grown a lot. The same staff was there both times. Vivian and Mia did a great job on my nails both times. I have apprehension going to any nail salons because of past drill overuse completely obliterating my nails and cuticle injuries/pain from multiple other salons. I just asked them up front to please be careful not to sand too much. They are very gentle and detail oriented. I don't mind quiet appointments, but I talked to them the first time and they were friendly. The second time I stayed mostly quiet and I didn't mind them quietly chatting with each other. Both times I felt well taken care of. There was another client or two there each time. I was glad it wasn't packed. It cost $85 total (before tip) to take off the old polish & get the new polish. I prefer no manual massage (I do use the massage chair). To me, it's a fair price and worth it for the relaxing and less crowded atmosphere, easy parking and being accommodated with my special request. They also offer a complimentary drink such as a mimosa, champagne, etc. I kind of want to gatekeep, but this salon deserves our business -I recommend!

I got a regular pedicure and it came out to 70 bucks + tip on top of that. It was normal nail…read morepolish, not even gel. Won't be going back.
