I was hoping for a positive experience at Salon MK with Giselle Q, but I left very disappointed. The photos clearly speak for themselves but here's what happened-- When I first reached out to Salon MK in June, I was connected with Giselle and specifically requested a light brown, neutral balayage. We booked a balayage ($280) and a haircut ($85). I sent photos of my hair and several reference photos. During the appointment, she explained that balayage is essentially highlights, which made me a bit nervous, as I understand it to be more of a blended, ombré-style look. Still, I trusted her professional judgment. Unfortunately, the final result looked nothing like my reference photos..... The highlights leaned much more yellow and brown rather than the neutral tones I had requested, and they were also uneven, with some highlight sections noticeably thicker than others. The haircut itself was uneven, and the top layers were longer than the bottom section. She offered to fix it, which I appreciated, but by that point I already felt uneasy. I decided to give her a second chance since she was willing to fix the uneven haircut, so I went back in October for an all-over color before an important work event. I was very clear and specific about what I wanted and provided several reference photos beforehand- a dark, natural brown with subtle purple/reddish undertones. I explicitly asked to avoid black, copper, blonde, vivid red or purple tones, and NO highlights. We discussed this thoroughly, and I even said that if there was any hesitation, I'd prefer to play it safe with a darker brown balayage instead. Giselle reassured me she could achieve the color....... Unfortunately, the result was again nothing close to what I requested. My hair turned out coppery brown/red and still showed highlights, which I had specifically asked to avoid. I felt embarrassed going to my event with it. When I reached out the next day with photos, I was told that the custom conditioner I purchased should temporarily fix the issue. This was frustrating, as a conditioner with very minimal pigmentation shouldn't be relied on to correct a $165 color service, especially after I left a 20+% tip out of kindness. Overall, the results did not align at all with what we discussed or the reference photos I provided. My concerns weren't resolved, and I ultimately had to attempt to fix my hair myself before the event. Everyone's experience is different, but I wanted to share mine so others can make the decision that feels right for them and choose a stylist they feel 1000% confident with. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this salon, but booking an appointment with Vanessa has been an adventure in itself. Over the past week, I've sent a DM on Instagram, called the salon and requested a callback twice, and even texted -- all with zero response. I get that it's the busy holiday season, but even a quick "we're fully booked" would've been so appreciated! I'm pretty particular about my hair and I did my homework before choosing this spot, so I was genuinely excited. I'm not one to leave a bad review, but the silence has been a little disappointing. My friends wedding is in a few weeks and without a haircut Im going to show up looking like Hagrid from Harry Potter read more

I cannot recommend Christine Duran enough! She is truly amazing at what she does--especially with blonde hair. Every time I leave her chair, my hair feels incredibly smooth, healthy, and exactly the shade I was hoping for. She uses high-end products that really make a difference! The salon itself is just as impressive--it's so pretty, clean, and thoughtfully organized. The whole vibe is relaxing and welcoming, and you can tell they care about every detail. If you're looking for a talented stylist who specializes in blonde and a beautiful space to match, Christine is your girl! read more

Jordan is the sweetest and amazing chemist. She fixed my overworked reddish hair hue into a beautiful caramel brown with gold highlights. She's friendly, professional and an expert hair dresser. I will be visiting this salon on the regular. Thank you for being so kind and on top of your art. Also thank you to the owner who partners with such an amazing hair product which is softening and healthy. Thank you also for making this place such a sweet resting place for TLC for those of us working professionals that need help with our tresses. read more

She is amazing at what she does and has brought my hair back to life. Salon is so cute and stylists are all friendly. You won't be disappointed. Love my hair. read more

I have been going to my stylist, Tiffny Miller for 13 years now. Even after moving far from her, I continue to patronize her services. She is an outstanding stylist with great talent.

Highly highly disappointed with this place. Or maybe I should say with Jenna specifically. I made an appointment with her at least 2 weeks in advance. I call to get directions the day prior since this was my first time going to this salon. Jenna then try's to reschedule me and have me go to another salon in Encinitas. I live in Temecula so that's not feasible. She then confirms appointment just to change her mind several hours later. She tells me it's not worth her drive to Main Street salon if clients cancel because she rents a booth. Mind you I never canceled and I even confirmed my appointment in advance. She must have known how unprofessional this was and offered to give me a free hair cut. I declined as I was already highly disappointed and offended by Jenna. This salon would benefit by having reliable and professional people working. read more

I was nervous about making such a dramatic change to my hair but with Mariah Held as my hair stylist I felt confident it would turn out just the way I dreamed!

Courtney has been doing my hair for the past three years, and with how much I bounce around in colors she's definitely done an excellent job in making sure we do the best for ME. She's also fantastically patient at communicating my color options since I never know what I want to do or what I can do with the dye that is currently in my hair at the time. I live in San Diego and am a full time student, so I rarely am able to make the trip back home, so my hair appointments are customized specifically to me and my bad habit of going in basically once every three months. My best friend (a gorgeous thick maned blonde) who lives in LA now drives out to her every 8 weeks because Courtney is a hair Goddess. She does makeup too! (as most of them do but Courtney's really good at that) She just moved back to Main Street Salon after being at Sleek and Shear in Murrieta for a while, so don't do what I did last time and accidentally go to Murrieta. She's in Old Town Temecula! Even though I was literally 30 minutes late she still took me in and when her next appointment came in she juggled finishing my hair and taking care of her new clients like a pro. My bad Courtney, but you rocked it as always. If Courtney's booked I'd recommend Mariah. She is also a talented hair goddess plus Courtney and her suffered through cosmetology school together. I'm obviously partial to Courtney, so go to Courtney, Mariah has enough stellar reviews on here. ;) read more

My fabulous hairstylist Karie just moved to this salon and i am excited that she is closer to me now! She does an amazing job every time I go to see her. I texted her abruptly asking for an appointment because I had the urge to cut my hair, she fit me right in and even made sure to refresh my toner and all that my hair needed. She made my hair look full and alive again! She is an amazing stylist and even more of an amazing person! You would love to get your hair done with her. read more

kiara is a nasty piece of work, ive always been told to not wash my hair a few days before any colouring (especially bleaching) so the oils protect my scalp. Now I have a naturally oily scalp(it looks oily by the end of the day after washing it - I can't help it it's genetics) this unprofessional little girl told me I have a smelly scalp and shouldn't be so unhygienic before coming into her salon and she shouldn't have to deal with dirty greasy scalps coming in her place of work. She cocked her nose up at me the whole time while she was doing my hair and made me feel so uncomfortable. Kiara should not be in the profession if she can't deal with a little bit of oil on the scalp. Childish and unprofessional service. lame attitude. read more

Lily is the best nail tech, period. I've had a long list of nail techs over the years but nobody is as efficient, detailed, creative, and just down right talented. I followed Lily to Main Street since she made her move earlier this year. Yeah, it's a little far but I'll make the drive for her excellent work. A few notes if you're in the market for a nail tech: her designs are not just pretty, they last! Any gem design I've ever had done by her lasts weeks.. she doesn't use cheap materials. Her matte top coat also the best, i get it all the time and never have issues with it. Show her a picture and she can get it done read more

I made an appointment here with a new stylist, Amie, she did an amazing job with my graying frumpy hair! I had her do full highlights along with a haircut. I haven't done highlights in many years and was kind of nervous. She put me at ease and after showing her a picture of the color and style I wanted, she did exactly what I wanted. I love the color and the style. I will be back! read more

I found Mariah Held through good ol' Instagram. I was in desperate need to find someone local to do my hair and makeup for photoshoots. I told her what I wanted and she freaking NAILED IT. her contouring is beyond amazing and her eye makeup application is flawless. She's great because she stops what she's doing and gives you a peek at where she is in her application, to make sure you're happy. :) I have found my new HMUA in my hood of Temecula/Murrieta!!! Mariah you are the &%#! Xoxo read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mariah. Although I'm from Phoenix, I visit the Temecula area every couple months; to visit my family and to stop by Main Street Salon for my hair! Initially, I found Mariah through Instagram. I wanted extensions and a complete color makeover. Mariah steered me towards individual beaded extensions I'm thoroughly impressed! My hair comes out beyond my expectations every time. I'll be rocking extensions for quite sometime. I'm a complete fan of her work and the products available at the salon. The only downside to my hair is that I have to travel to another state for it! I've rarely found a hairstylist I can connect with and enjoy as much as Mariah. I feel like I can honestly communicate with her and achieve exactly what I want! There have been moments where I've almost cried in her chair out of joy. At 25, having the extensions was the first time I had ever felt like an "adult" woman. An experience I can never forget! Thank you, Mariah! read more

Main Street salon is such a cute place. All the furniture inside is so adorable. Everyone inside seems to be so friendly too. They have refreshments of water, coffee, tea, and even wine! Occasionally they have cookies but if not there is a little cafe downstairs. I've been getting my hair done by Kayla recently and she is seriously the best! The location is a little far and quite a drive for me, but I make the drive because I know she'll do an amazing job. You can show her pictures and she'll ask you make questions to make sure she knows exactly what you want. She also lets you know if what you want can be achieved in one sitting or if you'll have to come back again. If you're ever in Temecula or have plans to go up there and you want to get your hair done contact Kayla! You won't be disappointed. Tell her Melinda sent you! read more

If you are someone wanting beautiful blonde hair, then I HIGHLY suggest you come here and see Courtney. She is so talented and skilled at what she does, especially with blondes. She makes sure that she never over processes your hair so that your hair is still perfectly healthy even after a bleaching treatment. I have followed her from her other salon in Menifee and I definitely don't mind driving the extra miles to see her. I will absolutely never go anywhere else because I know that I will always leave happy and with my hair exactly how I wanted it. She is also super cool and sweet, thanks so much Courtney! :) read more
