I came in needing…read morea full highlight, toner, and two rows of extensions moved up, and from the very beginning she took the time to give me such a thorough consultation and really understand exactly what I wanted. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows her stuff when it comes to both color and extensions, which made me feel completely confident throughout the entire appointment. On top of being talented, she's an absolute sweetheart and made what can be a long hair appointment genuinely so enjoyable. I'm SO happy with how my hair turned out -- the color is beautiful, my extensions look seamless, and everything feels fresh and perfectly blended! Highly recommend Brianna if you're looking for someone who is skilled, thoughtful, and truly cares about getting you the results you want!

Absolutely not and the pictures speak for themselves…read more I'd gone there for years when they were in North Park and always loved my experience and results. I went to their new location for a KT a few weeks ago, paid almost $400 (with tip), and got this after my first wash 72 hours later. The stylist did, however, have me come back for an entirely different treatment that ended up giving me the results I wanted. That's why I'm giving two stars instead of one. I'm grateful for that, but didn't enjoy the over all experience. The issue was the service. The stylist wasn't very friendly with me, but I still tipped well. I also didn't get an apology, just told I only paid for a smoothing treatment. That's not true but even if it was, my hair was obviously still mad frizzy and curly. Also, I recall a smoothing treatment on their website being listed for less than the $300+ dollars I was charged. Needless to say I won't go back. Next time I'll try that new salon that took over their old space on 30th. 8/18/2026 Update: The owner called me and apologized for my experience and acknowledged my dissatisfaction with my initial results. I reiterated my issue wasn't with the first treatment not working because it happens. My issue was with the lack of accountability from the stylist when I showed her my frizzy hair. I also told her the follow-up treatment gave me the results I wanted and I'm happy with them so far. I will always give credit where it's due and I appreciate the willingness to reach out and accept feedback.

Stella is good but I do think her pricing is a little much for keratin. When I looked up keratin…read moretreatments hers was the first that came up because it's sponsored. I looked at the reviews and I was surprised to see 5's across the board, a nearly perfect yelp score. At first I didn't question it. Then after the service was finished and she had me write a review in front of her I realized that she has all of her customers write reviews to get $10 off. Due to my credibility on here, I felt I must update my review now that I'm sitting by myself. It was an okay treatment, I think she's super nice, but the pricing was a bit much. Other than that, she was good. I would say a 4.0/5 on a more complex scale.

I really hesitated to write this review because I initially thought David Langit was a nice person,…read morebut ultimately I was really disappointed in my entire experience. On April 22, I went in and showed David mushroom blonde hair as my goal because I was taking maternity photos soon and wanted something a little more subdued. He assured me that it was possible. However right towards the end, he told me, with color in hand already, that he wasn't going to tone the color I wanted because it would show grays more easily. I felt like I didn't really have an option but decided to trust him. When my hair finished, the front two pieces looked good, but when I washed my hair two days later, I just felt like the rest was nothing like what I had wanted. It was overly yellow and not ashy at all. Still, I didn't want to cause problems, so I went ahead and did my photos the following weekend (May 2 -- 10 days since the appointment). When I got my final photos back from the photographer this week, I was horrified. I have been doing balayage on my hair for years & a huge section of orange hair just 10 days after my dye appointment is NOT normal. There was a clear band of orange hair that had not lifted enough. With a lot of hesitation, I reached out to David to ask if he could fix it, but he said I had to have contacted him within two weeks and now he would have to charge me again. I tipped 20% on a $500 bill and spent $600+ just to have orange hair. My photos clearly showed that just 10 days after my appointment, my hair was already orange. The only reason I waited until now was because I didn't want to bother him... It shocked me that he felt this was a fair resolution. I felt like if he could have at least lifted the sections he missed without charge then I could at least get by with evenly colored hair even if it wasn't ashy. After reaching out to other stylists for help, one told me that whoever did my hair shouldn't be charging me for a fix because "they didn't finish their job" and another told me that it was clear that he had missed a chunk. To me this shows that this was an actual issue that is clearly visible to other stylists, and David was choosing to ignore it. Overall I was saddened by this experience more than anything else. I was under the impression that he was a professional who cared about the quality of his work, but it's now clear that was not the case. I'm disappointed that I trusted him with my hair because not only does it look terrible, but it ruined my photos as well.

Consider yourself warned. I was really excited about this salon when I found it 8 months ago, but…read moreit has suffered a rapid decline in service since then. I was seeking a safe (formaldehyde-free) keratin treatment. My first service in December 2025 was great (and it cost $300, which was already pricey). My second service with the same stylist in April 2026 was somewhat less effective (and price had gone up to $350). The following week, I was notified that if I wanted my next service to stay at the $350 price, I'd have to use a "junior stylist in training." I reluctantly pre-booked my 3rd appointment to lock in that price, as was promised. Shortly before that appointment, I was told the price would go up to $400 (for the same junior stylist), and then again the very next week, it was $500. The owner (Kaylie) has sent out multiple conflicting communications, has refused to honor the committed price at time of booking. I understand the business has recently found some viral growth (and I was happy for them), but the rapid and extreme price changes (+67% in 8 months), and the (frankly) rude and dismissive treatment of current and loyal customers is not a savvy or gracious way to handle a growing business. I recommended this place to 2 other people after my first treatment -- they tried it, loved it, and have since been put off for all the same reasons. So Kaylie's approach has lost her at least 3 customers, likely more. Additionally, any hair salon should be willing to share with you the exact product, formulations and ingredient lists they're using -- SMOOTHED is very cagey about this information (I've asked, multiple times, because I had differing results in my 2 treatments), and it's likely because they're using products that may technically be formaldehyde-free, but still include glycolic acid (also to avoid), and are formaldehyde-releasing over time when heat is applied (which they insist you have to do get the smooth results promised). IF you do go here, please insist on knowing the exact product they're using, and check the ingredients list online for safety, if that matters to you. It does to me, and I've found a better salon with safer products and much better customer service.

I followed Kelly Clifford here from a prior salon after finding her from recommendations elsewhere…read more Kelly is awesome! She has tons of knowledge and experience yet takes the time to listen to you. She will tell you what she thinks will work best or what may not work as you would hope and she explains why. She did a great job on my color on my first visit along with a flattering cut, understanding my goals. I fully suspected she would need a couple tries to learn my hair, she got it all on the first try! Kelly recommended Keraprime Keratin treatment for my damaged hair but I was reluctant because of various smoothing treatments I have tried and their cost. I gave it a try this past summer (2018) after all of our unusual humidity. I am very pleased with the result, it is keeping my hair soft and smooth even with air drying and my hair easily blows dry straight. It was more affordable than previous straightening/smoothing treatments. It is suppose to last 3 months but I suspect it will last longer on my hair. I have since colored my hair twice and my hair is holding my color well, I just go for root touch ups. Kelly knows hair, she could be at a mega cost salon but chooses to share her talents at very reasonable prices and will work with your budget. Just discuss your needs with her. It's not as awkward as it sounds, it is part of her philosophy after so many years in the business she truly wants to help you feel good when you leave. I strongly recommend giving her a call, she will call you back! Inside the Sola Salon-Clairemont building are many individual salon businesses each with their own name and studio number. Kelly is just inside the front door ( # 26 ) and will always pop her head out to help anyone looking confused after they walk in the building. She is happy to take walk-ins. This location is great, easy access and a lot of free parking!
