    Reona B.

    Ah. Where do I start? If I could give Kendra a zero I would. I quickly texted her after hearing from a friend (who had never gone there -my mistake) that she was the "best hair dresser in east county." We went back and forth a bit through texts and I asked for a consultation... she decided instead to just put me in her chair (second mistake). I had to sit through three bleach sessions back to back for some of my roots to be even with the rest of my hair. Before ever stepping foot in the salon, I had made it very clear that my intentions were to be even and if she wouldn't be able to do it, I would go on about my business and find someone else. She so confidently told me that if anyone could do it, she could. Turns out that wasn't true. Before the third bleaching session, she made a comment about how my scalp wouldn't be able to handle a platinum card if I couldn't deal with the bleach now. Never mind the fact that I had already had bleach directly placed on my scalp twice that day. So yeah. My scalp was a little sensitive. Whose wouldn't? After NOT being able to lift enough for the third time in the areas I had issues with, she decided to tone me to a color of her choosing in spite of it being the opposite of what I wanted... I went home and toned my hair myself a couple days later to fix what she did. I left with and appointment scheduled with the idea that we would be doing a platinum card and there would be no problems. I only had MAYBE half an inch of root. Then an inch of platinum... two inches of the gold... and then platinum to the ends. I asked if she could use 10vol on my two inches of gold and then 30 on the roots only. She said yeah I'll have to be real careful and get just the black. And then I watch her drag 30vol all the way to the gold part and use 10 on SOME of the golden parts. The result? Quarter inch of gold, one inch of white, two inches of gold. After the first rinse, I just wanted to go home. She says she can fix it... and slathers bleach all over my roots again. And then tones it. Except now that one inch of white is so porous it sucked up all the color and what do u know? My roots were still golden and I have an inch of blue. We ended up having to shadow root (which was not what I wanted). I went home with some dark, some light roots and stripes of dark in my hair. After a year of being blonde, I am having to go back to black because Kendra does not know what she's doing. And the sad part is, a lot of times, she would say things to make it seem like I was the problem... "Your ethnicity is not meant to be blonde." "If you didn't have the white ends, you would be happy with the level that I lifted you to" (never mind the fact that I said I wanted to be EVEN). "Is anyone even going to see that?" (when I pointed out that some of my roots hadn't been touched with the bleach). The sad part is? She's probably saying bad things about me to a client now. How do I know? Because we talked bad about another client together. I was just another customer though, NOT the professional. Perhaps if you're already a client of hers, you should think twice about telling her your personal business. You don't know when she'll get upset with you and tell someone else. Or tell your other clients (me) that you and your daughter are white trash because you text that you don't like what she's done to your hair. Ha ha. How ironic. I don't like mine either. If you do decide to go to Kendra, don't expect a professional experience. She will talk about all the heads she's done and how great she is, but you're not going to walk out looking better than you came in, and she will make you feel bad for it at the end of it all. She'll be on her phone. She'll be overbooked (I'm not even sure how she is so busy, I guess a lot of people just don't care about their hair) and she will not be able to give u the salon experience people expect and pay for. For the record, your better off doing your hair yourself than going to Kendra. For the first time in seven years of being together... my husband came home, looked at my hair, asked me what happened... and told me "don't get mad babe, but they f*cked you up!"

Casey was such a sweet treasure of a soul. She took the time to get to know me, my needs, my personal preference and she listened without judgment!! I have been struggling with hair loss for many years and I also have thin gray hair! I brought my own shampoo and conditioner, Casey was so respectful and fairly knowledgeable about the challenges of gray hair and hair loss. I really appreciated how open she was when I shared that I preferred non-toxic, products without harmful chemicals. She even inquired about the products I brought. She took really good care of my hair. She was really easy to talk to. I left loving my haircut!! This was the first time a stylist didn't go to town trying to "layer" my hair to give me volume. I will definitely be back to see Casey!!

    I booked a haircut and style with Tyler last minute for a work party and he was wonderful! The…read moresalon is small and cute and shares a parking lot with Honeybaked. Tyler was friendly and easy to talk to and I explained I had a work event that night and I was hoping he could style it so it would last for that. He sprayed every curl thoroughly and the curls held all night. I have been to several other salons over the years and was honestly shocked the whole thing was only $55. In this economy???? It was a steal and Tyler was lovely. Definitely will go back.

    Please note, I haven't actually visited this place. I was not able to get an appointment. Because…read morethis is a spot that many hairdressers utilize independently, there is no central booking option. Not Vagaro, not on the website, and not by phone. I sent an email and also called. I was able to get a receptionist on the phone but because she was new was unable to assist. I was directed to contact the individual hairdressers via Instagram. This required me to follow their page before I could message them. Really, really inefficient. In the meantime, I was able to locate another salon and hairdresser via Vagaro and book an appointment. These professionals may be great, but having an easy way to book will get more clients. In this day and age, the instantaneous booking is the bar and this place doesn't meet it. It is a hurdle/challenge to just get an appointment. I am sure these people are nice and are probably good at what they do.

I made the mistake of going here and ended up paying three times the amount of money to have my hair color corrected after Sam turned it a red orange color when I told him beforehand that my only fear was ending up with red/orange hair. He assured me it would not. Not only that but the haircut was totally uneven and way shorter than I wanted. It had to be recut to even it all out. This can be devastating for a haircut that is already extremely short. Now I have to wear a scarf or a hat until my hair gets longer. Probably around six months. The worst experience of my life. I thought because he had great reviews he must be pretty good but after my hair was ruined I looked further for more reviews. If you look hard enough and deep enough you will find all of the terrible reviews. For some reason people are able to hide these which is a bad thing for people like myself that look for reviews before going to a new salon. I dont understand how he could have so many 5 stars reviews after what he did to my hair. Are they really all real reviews? Seriously, this is so deceiving and it's unfair to people that rely on honest reviews to decide where to go for hair needs. Sam is a very nice man until it comes time to take responsibility for ruining your hair. Then he's not so nice.

My hair had become brassy and I just wanted to add low lights and some dimension. I showed many, many photos to make it clear what I wanted. Unfortunately, the final result was drastically different from what I requested. Much of the interior and underside of my hair was colored a very dark brunette tone, creating a flat, heavy appearance rather than the dimensional look shown in the photos we reviewed. The ends of my hair look completely black, nothing like the photos I showed. The issue wasn't that my hair became darker overall. I expected more depth and lowlights. The issue was that much of the brightness and dimension was lost, particularly underneath, leaving large sections of the hair looking like one solid dark color. To Cynthia's credit, she did offer to adjust the color by adding highlights and ultimately provided a full refund when I explained that I was no longer comfortable proceeding with additional processing since my first request was so misunderstood and poorly executed. While I appreciate her efforts to make things right afterward, the final result did not reflect the look we spent significant time discussing beforehand. I'm honestly still devastated.
