Balayage from Kat
Christal M.

Tons of people visit Dana Point to enjoy the peacefulness of the harbors, but I come for a different kind of serenity, Salon Serenity. It's a little difficult to find if you've never been here, but it's close by to Harbor House Cafe and Killer Dana Surf Shop. Parking is always a breeze in their lot. The salon isn't anything fancy, but it's comfortable and clean. The salon itself is not what I come for anyway, it's the amazing service from Kat. Kat knows how to handle hair and what will work for your hair type. She's so sweet and easy to talk to that the time always flys by during my appointments. You can tell she knows what she's doing because I usually get a balayage and trim, and she'll have me in and out in around 2 hours. I used to flip flop around to different stylists all the time, but from now on I will continue to come back to Kat.

Kat has done it again, amazing stylist. Kat is an artist when it comes to hair. After a few years of blonde brassy stringy hair, Kat has turned my hair into a beautiful full deep to light red. Not only am I in love with my color, my hair feels so much more healthier. The cut she's done has made my hair bounce and feel and look full. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thank you Kat

Booked an appointment with Tracey, I found her through an online women's group. The photo I texted her was of highlighted ends, a low balayage on curly hair. My first appointment did not look like what I wanted & my hair was really brassy. Or as she referred to it "blorange". She was fascinated by my curly hair & asked if I would be a model for an upcoming photo shoot, I was interested & accepted her offer. She spoke about wanting to go lighter & eventually to a rose gold. I was excited to see the outcome, as she sounded confident that she could get me there without compromising my curls. A week passed & I went & saw her for my second round of lightening. She again, was confident but I was nervous. Throughout my appointment she seemed a little on edge, which made me nervous, she put my hair in foils & under a heat lamp. When we got to the bowl to rinse I asked her how my curls were looking, she said "it's hard to tell because it's soaking wet." That made me nervous cause my hair is obviously curly even when soaking wet. When she walked away to prep my toner, I snuck a picture of my hair & was shocked at how bad my hair looked! She finished toning & walked me back to her chair, that's when a man walked in and greeted her, then continued to tell me "you'll be alright, you're in OK hands hahaha". What a jerk. Anyway, I left her salon with my hair still wet. When I got home my hair was mostly dry & looked like a cotton fuzzball! It was 4-5 shades of yellow orange and blonde. My curls were no longer coiling but frizzy & dry! If you have curly hair, I do not recommend going here. Her failure to admit a lack of education in dealing with curly hair resulted in me getting my beautiful curls FRIED by a licensed cosmetologist! Go somewhere where the stylists are responsible & knowledgeable. This was extremely unprofessional & careless of her. I am heartbroken over the whole situation. As a newly licensed stylist myself, my hair is a huge part of my image. This happening to me is absolutely heartbreaking, I wish she would have just been honest & told me she wasn't experienced in my hair texture. That would have saved my hair from this tragedy.

Me and my BFF loving our cuts and color

Without Pamela I'd be a 5 instead of a 10. She gives me gorgeous hair and keeps me laughing. Who knew hair appointments could be this fun???

LGBTQ warning. I reached out to Brush Salon because I was looking for a new stylist closer to where…read moreI live. In my message, I specifically shared that I was looking for a queer/trans-friendly salon. I also explained that I have been a loyal client who has previously flown out of state to see my longtime stylist, but I was hoping to find someone local. I never received a response to my message, so I called. The person that answer confirmed the owner had received message and told me a person outside their salon would be a "better fit." I reached out to that person as well and received no response. Message received. The whole experience was disappointing and honestly painful. Looking for a new stylist as a queer/trans person already comes with a lot of anxiety around whether a space will actually be safe and welcoming. Sadly, this interactions let me know that my concerns were real. I can't speak to their intentions, but I can speak to the impact: I did not feel welcomed, wanted, or safe as a prospective LGBTQ client. I wish businesses could be more direct about who they aren't prepared to serve, because being quietly redirected elsewhere after explicitly asking for a queer/trans-friendly space feels awful.

I am visiting from Las Vegas and was desperately needing my hair done. I was lucky enough to get in…read morewith Christine and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I've been begging my stylist in Vegas to tone down my blonde for months and she has yet to be able to achieve my desired look. I spent 2 minutes with Christine, she said I know exactly what you need and I am ECSTATIC to report she NAILED it. She was fast, caring, fun and got it exactly how I wanted. I am still over the moon with my results. Christine really knows her stuff. Pretty sure I'll be figuring out how to make it to So Cal every other month just to get my hair done. Picture to follow soon.

My previous gal, that I was with for 12 years, is in Huntington Beach, and after the move, my roots really needed color before Thanksgiving, and I didn't my hairstylist didn't have time on short notice. I searched yelp for colorists in my area and Christine's name popped up - Well let me tell you, She's Incredible!!! The color is FABULOUS!! So subtle but rich, so pretty. Additionally, she only used 1 color, (other hairstylist used 2) so less processing on my baby fine hair. She was so great that I choose to have her do my extensions, and she not only put in the weft type I was wearing, she COLORED the one I had bought from the other stylist who picked out the wrong color, and I was stuck with it. Christine colored the weft beautifully, and that's tricky at best. Christine also applied the weft with much less strain to my scalp, then suggested a new type of individual smaller strands for my sides, that so far are AWESOME! If you want great color and a great stylist, look no further!!!
