I wear my hair very long and Eddie was successful in layering my hair enough to Have it perform and sit nicely while also still keeping it long! I left the salon with shiny hair light ceiling, but the best part my hair was still kept successfully long that not a lot of people noticed that I actually got a haircut! Which for the women who like to wear their hair long is honestly the best feeling ever! Eddie knows exactly what he's doing so much so that I would take a flight from Big Sky Montana back to Laguna in three months just to get my haircut again! Thank you so much for this positive experience and the best haircut ever! Bravo!

Wow... I'm shocked to even have to write this review. I will start out by saying that the owner has…read moreoffered me a full refund. I am going to take her up on that, considering the fact that I left this place with a botched haircut from a stylist named Cassandra. I did not let the owner know that my cut was unblended and poorly executed, because I had not noticed until yesterday. This was after I got a closer look at my hair and after the blowout faded. Unfortunately, as clients, we don't get to see all the mistakes when we leave the salon with a blowout because it hides a lot. Especially with layers. I'll spare you the all gritty details because I've already made the owner aware of Cassandra's awful attitude. However, for context, I saw her twice total and got a weird vibe from her the first time, as she made me feel like an imposition for having dense hair and running into her next appointment. Mind you, I considerately got there 10 minutes early to give time for my first appointment consult. She was visibly annoyed throughout the appointment and did not try hiding it. When I got there for my second appointment (again, I wanted to give the benefit of doubt because I did like the results first time around), I was met with immediate hostility. I was so confused. I'm a nice person?! So, as soon as I realized that she wasn't having an off day (during my initial experience) and this just happened to be how she is, I was concerned. She was unbelievably passive aggressive and rude. At one point, I told her assistant that he was doing a great job because I could tell that he was just starting out. Cassandra interjected and said, "he is doing a good job but he needs to learn." Who says that to a client...? And why not just let the man enjoy a compliment? When I called the owner to let her know, she did express that Cassandra is not a warm person. But this went way beyond that. I'll post photos of my botched cut as well as the inspiration photo that I showed her- which by the way, when I presented my inspo photo, Cassandra asked, "what's wrong with that girl's face?" You would think this would be common sense, but when your client is showing you an inspiration photo, maybe don't make fun of it. Again, common sense. All in all, I got a bad hair cut with extra attitude on the side. I'll pass on both.

You will only find the best products here. Most are organic with high quality ingredients. And you can try almost everything first right there before buying. Whether you need makeup, brushes, shampoo, soap, nail polish, SPF, or moisturizers, this is the place! Oh and there is a free parking lot for the store. You can access it off of Ocean Ave, which is a one way that starts at Forest Ave. The first available entrance on the left is their parking lot. An attendant will ask you where you're going to make sure you're in the right place. All you have to do is mention the name of the store, and you're in for as long as you need. You will just need to show your receipt when you go back to your car.

I bought an Alima pure foundation powder at Roots, and the coverage was no where near what the Bare…read moreMinerals powder I had used for years. They refused to take it back, saying the manufacturer didn't give them a return. I went in there to support my local business, but when it came to me getting support upon returning the item they wanted to sell me another product or brush that may help the coverage. I told the sales girl that I used the same brush I used for my Bare Mineral powder so it was not the problem and I wasn't willing to take the loss of this product to buy one that "may" work better with no return on it either if it didn't work better. I decided to check on Amazon to see if they carried the brand and what their return policy was, and they said right on their page that returns were fine. And on top of that, the same item was $8 cheaper on Amazon!! So much for supporting local businesses that don't believe that support goes both ways!

But the second I sat down in my chair and said I want a "Julia Roberts styles-perm," Greg knew exactly what I wanted. I have major hair cut anxiety because it always turns out too short or not enough waves or something's wrong. But Greg talked me through every thing he did and it was the sweetest thing ever! I know, I sound like a little kid but I am in love with this place! Thank you so much. I should also mention, my mom gave Greg a photo of her from a year ago, and he did a PERFECT job. She was shocked! So much that she asked me to drive around to flaunt off her new hair. And trust me, that NEVER happens. Sorry for rambling on, but thank you so much Greg for everything today.

Roya did my hair for my wedding earlier this year. My hair looked great for most of the day, and…read moreshe is clearly very talented. However, there were some downsides to the overall experience, especially given the premium price and the fact that I booked her for two looks and all-day touch-ups. Roya arrived to my bridal suite wearing a "MIGA" ("Make Iran Great Again") hat, a slogan modeled after Trump's MAGA movement and associated with political rhetoric about Iran. Regardless of personal beliefs or current events, wearing anything political as a wedding vendor is very unprofessional, especially when there is a chance of you being in bridal suite photos. Thankfully, my mom and maid of honor asked her to remove it before we headed to the venue because i didn't want my guests to misinterpret her hat, but the situation stressed me out on what was supposed to be a peaceful and relaxing morning . And the hat appeared in my wedding photos/video and I had to ask my videographer and photographer to make edits. She also ran about 30 minutes late to my trial and arrived 40 minutes late on my wedding day past my requested start time. I anticipated that she might be late based on reviews and prior experience and adjusted my timeline accordingly, but that is not something a bride should ever have to plan for, especially at this premium price point. Lastly, she left right as my reception began, despite me paying for touch-ups throughout the wedding. At the time I was fine with it, but by the time I cut my cake and after dancing, my bangs looked sweaty and no longer appeared polished. I am not sure if this is typical, but I wanted to share my experience.

My 2 cents: Whenever looking at reviews always scroll to the bottom and look at the filtered reviews as well. I don't agree with Yelps review filter- ALL reviews should be counted. In many cases if all reviews were considered, some 5 star companies would have a 2 star rating and vice versa. Decide for yourself yelpers, don't let their "algorithm " do it for you!
