    I've known Nina for over 6 years. I met her during her tenure at Bellus Academy as a lead instructor with over 8 years in advanced training at the #1 beauty school in North America rated my Intercoffier. She has been the only stylist I have allowed to touch my hair in 10 years. Yes, I love my hair and wouldn't trust just anyone. She has given me a stylish look with up to date color techniques and I have referred her many of my friends and co workers for they love my hair styles. Thank you Nina for the amazing hair. I know you will keep the quality and health of my hair no matter how many times I color it! That I appreciate.

    I was referred to Nina by a close friend shortly after I moved to San Diego and was looking for a new professional for my hair. Am I so glad that the referral was Nina! Nina has been doing my hair for over 12 years now!! I would not go anywhere else for this service! I have brownish hair that I have been highlighting and growing out over the years and Nina has nailed it every time!! The blond she does is crisp, bright and exactly how I want it each time. Not only is Nina an expert in her profession, she is continuously learning new things that brings more and more expertise to her already many talents. Over the past 12 years, Nina has never missed an appointment with me and her communication is top notch. She always responds confirming appointments, is on time and prepared (that can be hard to do in the beauty appointment industry) but Nina nails it!! She is so respectful of your time and does a fantastic job with how you would like your hair done but keeps you on your schedule too! I don't know how she does it all but she does!! Nina is also so friendly, warm and truly cares about her clients. If you are looking for a professional in this industry that knows her stuff, is on time, courteous, a joy to talk to and someone you can count on over many years, Nina is the one!! Thank you Nina for being my go to for so long ~ I look forward to many more years as your client. Thank you for all you have done over the years for my hair, in being so great to work with for appointments and for all the great conversation!

    Dani completely transformed my hair! I used to deal with awful frizz after every single shower, but…read moreafter getting a Brazilian blowout with her, my hair has never looked better and the results are 100% worth it. Even months later, my hair is still so smooth with barely any frizz. I'm completely obsessed and already planning my retouch. Cannot recommend her enough!

    Kandis did my hair extensions and didn't put the beads in the bottom and it fell that night. When…read moreI told her the bottom extensions came out, she blamed it on conditioner and fired me saying I was rude when I only informed her. She went from $300 to lift to $400 and then 500. She left the wefts not glued bf she put them in. Therefore tattered and damaged ends on the weft. When I told her she asked what happened. I'm not a hair dresser and trying to find someone on a Sunday to fix my mess was what I had to do because of work. I have known her for over ten years and because I couldn't get back to her ASAP she canceled all my future appointments with no phone call but through text which is extremely disrespectful. Also I referred several people and she charged me $150 more than the people I referred. I always tip 20%. I'm so glad this happened because when she was told not to worry about it I found someone to fix my hair. She asked if I wanted to come in on Tuesday when she's known for 12 years I work 12 hour days. I had no expectations of her coming in but she offered to take then out but would not put them back in. That would've been a nightmare. This has happened a couple times now. She over charges and her work has gone so down hill. I just didn't want to deal with my work and finding someone new. I should've left when she just out of no where started upping her prices only on me. I work extremely hard and she upped her prices and lowered her standards knowing I'd pay it. Don't come here!

    I am a professional makeup artist contracted by this company, and I can tell you these folks…read moregenuinely have been abysmal to deal with from an employee standpoint and I'm not sure what that says about them as a company, but I would NOT trust your credit card number with them. They pay us via their own online payroll system and we have to login to to transfer our funds to a bank account or Paypal. After working a few jobs with them, my account was hacked and someone was able to login, add a new transfer method and transfer my wages to their account within 4 minutes of my being notified of a "new login". I saw it immediately as I was on my computer when it happened, and changed the password, but it was too late. They had transferred funds to a Paypal account that was named with my last name, so it's obvious that there was some kind of data breach in their system that allowed for someone to strategize this and did this either to track their transfers or simply to fly under the radar and not be noticed. I didn't share my password or login with anyone, nor did I have any other login attempts or hacks on any other account so it's obviously stemmed from wherever this data is being stored. This also obviously was someone that knew their system well enough to be able to do this so quickly in spite of their website backend being a little strange to navigate. After completely ignoring multiple emails, their controller finally responded. I was shocked at the lack of seriousness in the company's response. I could not imagine why any company would not take seriously that their data is so not secure, that their employees wages are straight up getting stolen. Who runs their company that way? When I finally did get a response, the controller was not only NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT apologetic or empathetic for ACTUAL WAGES from hours of SKILLED WORK getting stolen from THEIR lack of security in THEIR unfortunate excuse for a payroll system, but when asked what the company was willing to do to rectify or assure me that I was safe to continue working and this would not happen again, she simply responded by denying that this has ever happened before and saying there was nothing she could do. I was floored. Any company that handles their employees and their online security this way has no ethics (at best) and can absolutely not be trusted, especially with your data and credit card info.

Due to my hairstylist's sudden emergency I was stuck with extensions in my hair and no way to straighten my own hair. I looked on Yelp to see what is nearby that I could drive to, and low and behold I found beGlammed and couldn't believe San Diego finally had a mobile glam squad. I got online and had an appointment booked in less than 2 minutes. Chanel arrived at my home, on time, and with a dazzling smile and YEARS of experience under her belt. An hour later she left and then I had a dazzling smile on my face because my hair looked amazing. beGlammed you just found yourself a customer that is going to have a lot of fun with your experts.

    I cannot in good faith leave a good review at this location- today I went in for a blowout service,…read morewhich I got the exact same service here three weeks ago- today however when checking out, they charged me an additional $30 because my appointment took longer than 45 minutes. On drybar's website where you go to book appointments it says the average blowout takes 45 minutes but could take longer & NOWHERE online does it say you will be charged an additional fee if your service takes longer than 45 minutes??? A stylist here previously told me that there is ONLY ONE PERSON at this location who can do a good updo and to make sure to request that person-she said that "they are lying to you" if they say any other stylist can do a good updo here. I only come here because I don't know of another salon that offers convenient blowouts-if anyone has suggestions, please let me know! It feels wrong to be in establishment that only offers styling services and blowouts-get apparently their own stylist don't think they do a good job on updo styles and now they also blindside you with $30 additional fees for them taking longer to do the appointment which you have booked. (They also don't tell you they are taking longer nor do they tell you about this fee prior to your apt) For the record, I do not have very long hair, nor is my hair thick, particularly curly, and nor do I have extensions. The stylists here are very nice, I just always feel underwhelmed & ripped off leaving here. Also the chairs are horribly uncomfortable & the salon itself is begging for a refresh.

    LIW is a one woman show owned by Bekah Salazar. A very intelligent and beautiful young women who…read morehas such a talent for not only hair, cosmetics but also decor. What catches most of our attention right off the bat is the lovely vintage decor that is LIW. Pink pastel and white striped walls, a vintage vanity you sit in front of and admire as you are pampered along with plenty of other trinkets and quaint furniture. Bekah makes your visit with her personal by great conversation, a warm smile and hospitality. She offers tea, coffee and water along with little cookies in a tea cup and saucer. You truly feel like a lady when you are here. She listens to you. In my experience, many women I see for my hair listen but don't listen at the same time ya feel me? She cares and it shows in the effort she puts into her business and when you speak to her. I visit for hair cuts and to get color done and have always left feeling radiant and beautiful. I am a hard girl to please because I am so protective with my hair and have left so many salons in tears because I didn't receive what I wanted. Those days are over. As I've gotten older I've learned that "good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good." I apply that rule of thumb when it comes to hair and tattoo services. I break $100 + when I come here and get a cut and color done ( I have a a lot of hair) but regardless you get what you pay for and I will bust my tail and save my pennies to come here. My first visit Bekah was even kind enough to let me get my hair done with her even though my job was late depositing my money to my account and I was broke. I got there assuming my money would be there like it is every Wednesday and my Account had $5 dollars in it when I checked. Embarrassed, before she even sat me down I told her I had to leave and we had to reschedule Because I didn't get paid on time. She said it was fine and I could pay her the next day. I couldn't believe it. My money came in the next day and she charged it. That was the nicest thing ever. I will continue to do my business here with LIW and suggest you ladies looking for a new place to give Bekah a call and set up a Appointment you won't be sorry.

    I love this little shop, just opened for about a week now. I know the owner for a couple years, and…read moreis an amazing hair girl! Took my mom here for a make over color and cut, my mom left feeling better than ever.

Tea, coffee, wine, treats, strawberries, etc. I recommend her!
