    Tina is absolutely amazing! I went to Tina because I unfortunately had my hair done a month ago for my birthday and it was WAY fried from being over processed so Tina took on the challenge of fixing my hair and I left feeling like a million bucks she is AMAZING, I JUST ADORE HER SO MUCH!! From the time I walked in to her rooftop salon in downtown Carlsbad she made me feel super comfortable which was pretty rad considering I was feeling pretty uncomfortable for about 2 weeks because of the botched hair job from the previous stylist so Tina is a pro and she knows her stuff she did a super cute cut, a deep conditioning treatmenT AND she fixed my color. I will definitely be going back and I'll be recommending Tina to my friends and family. Oh by the way she also does lashes and eyebrows she's an artist 100% check her out she's badass!!!!! THANK YOU TINA

    LOOK at that perfect, fierce red Tina has given!

    Color correction saver! have no words for how much Tina has meant to me and my sad locks! I have naturally neutral blonde hair and it's getting thin and dull like dirty dishwater due to hormone issues so I started getting it colored red to make myself feel better. The last person I went to made it look so bad, with spots of missed color all over - not what a girl needs when she's already feeling like junk about herself. I searched hard to find someone who could do good color in a town where most women only do blonde and found Tina. The first time I went to Tina, she had no problem correcting my color and then worked with me a few times after to help me find the perfect red for my skin tone - even though I wasn't able to accurately express what way I wanted to go. I've been going to Tina on a regular basis for over a year now and she completely understands how much more it means to someone like me to have my fragile hair beautiful when the rest of my body is failing. Her little shop is gorgeous and has a homie feeling, her prices are totally reasonable and she's got a sweet personality that makes you feel welcome. I am so grateful I have her.

    I went to Tina for a lash lift and tint. I was a little nervous because it was the first time but Tina made me feel very comfortable. I think I even accidentally fell asleep for a little bit. I was so happy with the results too. My lashes looked amazing( as you can see in the picture). I will definitely do this again. I also go to Tina for my hair. I recommend her whenever someone talks about getting their hair done. My sisters and mom and their friends all go to her and love her too.

    End result!

    I went to my girl Tina for a lash tint and I had the best experience. Tina is a master hair stylist and eyelash artist, and she is my go-to for everything health, wellness, and beauty. I trust her professional opinion, and because I wanted a little beauty boost (because you know, quarantine) she recommended a lash tint for me. And now of course, I am hooked. The process was so easy and so worth the time. Although it is about 1.5 hours of laying down with your eyes closed - which requires a lot of patience - it's so worth it. Tina has made me feel so comfortable and talked me through all the steps. I came in with no makeup and walked out feeling like a model.

    Tina was my hair stylist for many years when I lived in Carlsbad. She did such an amazing job in my color(hard to cover 80% grey hair) and her haircuts with blowouts always left me feeling like a million bucks. I have moved out of the area or Tina would still be doing my hair. However, my daughter, and daughter-in-law started going to Tina after I recommended her. My daughter-n-law has also recommended Tina to her cousins and aunts as well. Tina does an amazing job , you will happy you went to her.

    I have been getting my hair cut from Kreative by Tina for years now. It is my time to relax. No cell phone, no internet or no interruptions while I'm there. She gives an amazing hair cut, (I always get compliments weeks after seeing Tina) and the shampoo, hot towl and scalp massage is "me time". I just close my eyes and fade away for a few minutes. Can't wait to see your again every month!

    before picture (for lash lift & tint)

    Tina is the most talented and caring stylist around. I always leave the salon feeling AMAZING. don't hesitate to book with her, especially for this lift and tint. i've had uncomfortable experiences where people leave glue on me and don't take the time to be gentle BUT she turned that around and made me feel amazing. thank you, Tina!

Bri goes above and beyond to create the perfect ambiance for a truly relaxing experience. She dims the lights, incorporates scented candles, plays a calming playlist, provides a cozy blanket, and adjusts the chair to make sure you're in the most comfortable and relaxing position possible. Her head massage techniques were phenomenal! Between the different combs, massage tools, and techniques she uses, I was able to completely immerse myself in the experience and genuinely felt like I was able to unwind. The hand and arm massage at the end was also such a thoughtful finishing touch! The haircut portion was just as amazing. Bri takes the time to educate you on the maintenance required for different haircuts and helps recommend styles that complement your specific face shape. I really appreciated how knowledgeable and attentive she was throughout the entire process. Plus, you get to enjoy a nice, warm cup of coffee while she works her magic! Beyond her incredible skills, Bri is so personable, welcoming, and easy to talk to. She truly creates an experience rather than just providing a service, and you can tell she genuinely cares about making her clients feel comfortable and confident. If you're considering booking with her, BOOK WITH BRI ASAP! You will not regret it. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment!

Not ever, in the history of Yelp, has responses like yours HELPED a business. I'm sure it feels great in the moment...but I bet it won't feel too great when you're shutting your doors. If you're THIS reactive to constructive criticism, that's on you babe. If you think I would have come back after THAT reply, you're crazy. Treating myself, as a customer, regardless of my experience in the industry, politely would have garnered a positive change in my review. After that reply...Good luck hon! Edit to owners second response: my initial review was in no way rude, it was honest and I actually left out details to show kindness to the stylist. It's not her fault, I never even said her name and that was on purpose. No one was "put on blast" (how old are we?) It was simply an accurate description of my experience. Blaming me for the HUGE CHUNCK missing from my hair is funny. Yes I had cut my own bangs, no they were not fixed by the stylist...clearly, look at the picture. Since the owner knew who I was. She also could have called me, she chose instead to argue like a teenager over Yelp. For new potential clients to see. I'd. Be. Mortified. If someone left my salon looking like I did, but more mortified to be THIS petty. This will be my last response. Future clients beware. If you're unhappy, this is how you will be treated. FYI. I didn't end up calling because I read your replies to others who had and shocking ...you were rude to them too. Embarrassing. Good luck!

I wanted the ombré bayalage but was worried that the black was on too thick and for too long. Lynn wasn't sure either but we tested my hair and it was strong enough to withhold the chemicals, she didn't want to ruin my hair. I really appreciated that since most hair stylists would fry your hair and take your money and not care. Lynn told me I have thick and beautiful hair, so she didn't want to ruin it with chemicals if my hair wasn't strong enough to manage it. Hours later, my hair came out perfectly the caramel colors I wanted and the ombré was perfect. I'm thrilled with the results and I'll be back for Lynn to help me manage this hair.
