For months I was wanting to do something new with my hair, but I wasn't set on a specific look. I felt a little lost. So,I brought a few photos of what I was envisioning and Courtney at the Fletcher Parkway location helped me narrow down my focus. Courtney took the time understand my vision. She then suggested what she thought would look best and what was best for my type of hair. Courtney was just incredible! She thoroughly explained the color and cut process and made sure my opinion was accounted for at all times. My hair turned out PERFECT and I now have some beautiful golden highlights just in time for the Summer season!! This new look makes me feel so confident and I am very glad I booked with Courtney. She is very talented and is the reason as to why I enjoyed my time at Salon Thrive 10/10!! read more

Had a great experience with Colleen did an amazing job on my hair great cut and color

Love, love, love Adrianna! She has been doing my hair for almost two years now and we have gone every color from caramel, brown, blue and pink! She always does exactly what I want and I get so many compliments on my cut! She also does my brows and they are amazing! I definitely recommend her if you are looking for an awesome cut and color! read more

I went to the salon for prom and got my hair, makeup, and nails done. I got SO many compliments on my make up that Adrianna did. She did everything I asked for and more. I looked fierce and flawless in all of my pictures and had a wonderful night. I could have never done my make up like that. And Gloria did my nails and I have beautiful fingers now and have also received so many compliments and people asking where I go to get my nails and make up done. Thank you again for making me look and feel good about myself on such an important night. (: read more

Soo this is my first time every writing a review on Yelp but I just HAD to!! Colleen did an amazing job on my hair! I have been dying my own hair for a while, and it was looking dull, dead, and fake. So when I saw the Groupon for a cut, deep conditioning treatment, and full highlights I knew I had to get it... I am so glad I did!!! First off, Colleen is super nice, friendly, and fun to talk to. She started off by asking me questions about my hair to really understand my hairs history, and what would work well for my hair. She also made sure that the color and cut complemented my skin tone. I really liked this, because it made me feel comfortable to put my hair in her hands. The overall process was long, but with Colleens awesome personality it made the time go by really fast. The second she was done I was obsessed! She completely rescued my hair, it now looks healthy, dimensional, has body, and looks completely natural!!! She also took time to explain to me what she was doing, and what products I should use in my hair. I am definitely impressed with La Dolce Belladonna Salon, from the second I walked in everyone was so nice and welcoming! I am so happy that I decided to get this Groupon, because now I will only trust Colleen with my hair!! read more

I bought a groupon for $89 for an ombré and blow dry. I sent Adriana a picture of the color I wanted my ombré to be which was purple and she said she can do it. She said it would be an extra $20 for that color and I said ok. But after everything was all done my hair was more of a burgundy reddish color and nothing close to the purple in the picture I showed her and wanted. I was clearly upset not smiling or talking to her her as much but she kept trying to convince me that it was still a pretty color and disregarding how unhappy I was with the turnout. When another stylist passed by she complemented that it turned out nice and asked me if I liked it and I stated to both her and Adriana that i was expecting it to be like the picture I showed in the beginning but Adriana again disregarded how I felt and what I said and continued to say it'll look different in the sun outside and it will fade a little. Although it was a nice color it was not what I asked for and wanted. A $25 tip was already added onto my bill which I really did not want to pay since I was not satisfied! So all in all I payed $134 for hair color I really hate and left me feeling totally ripped off! read more

I am privileged and honored to have Hannah Bee as my hair stylist. She does color like no other! My hair is the perfect color of blue/purple, and after a month, it has hardly faded. There was no damage to my hair even though she had to lighten it to almost white. Also, she had to correct the color from a previous bad job (done by yours truly), and she did so with grace and charm. Count me lucky that Hannah is nearby and so very affordable! Hannah will be famous some day for her amazing color work; this I am sure of. read more

Colleen has been cutting and coloring my hair for over six years and I wouldn't trust my locks to anyone else. She treats you like a princess and is fun to spend a couple of hours with. I continually receive compliments about my hair and recommend that everyone book with her. Brooke read more

Salon Thrive - Done by Hannah :) - Hair Salons Near Me - El Cajon, California

See all

I went there the other day without booking an appointment in advance first and got a master stylist who probably did not have much experience with long hair, so the results looked very amateurish with straight cut and uneven length. They contacted me later and one of their managers fixed it for me for free. The end result looks good. I would book in advance and ask for one of the managers just to be safe. read more

I followed Lindsay (the new owner) over to this salon. She is always great, my colors always come out amazing. I've never had a bad experience. The vibe in this salon is so friendly, everyone is very nice and welcoming. Would always recommend coming to Lindsay for hair styling read more

This review is long over due but I have to give praise to my hair stylist, Hannah. She recently gave me a beautiful subtle ombré. As expected, the color has faded but I love the way it continues to transform. I can tell that her expertise is sought after and the staff is always friendly. I look forward to my next appointment with Hannah. I definitely recommend her if your looking for something fun and creative. read more

Love how they always seem to fit me in!!! The owner took time out of her day to fit in my touch up! The ladies here are always so helpful and care about how you feel before you leave! read more

Second time!!! Hannah is the best and very professional she always makes sure I'm okay and is so sweet no matter how her day has been! I will refer her to anyone. Love my hair thanks Hannah. read more

You could do better by putting a bowl over your head and cutting... Expect to wait a long time minutes and then it is hit or miss. My first curly cut was ok but I had to wait over 30 minutes. I went back for a bang trim and was just about to leave after waiting 25 minutes - wish I had left! I told Tammy just trim the bangs - not too short but please cut just below my eyebrows. She cut way above the eyebrows and it looks like I took a straight razor and lopped off the bangs - they are that crooked. Her comment was oops - I got scissor happy. Too bad I am starting a new job on Monday and wanted to look sharp. Just take my advice and stay far away from this place!!! I will never go back. read more

Marilu is the best! She has been cutting my hair for 24 years. I trust nobody but her. She is an awesome person too. I strongly recommend her to anyone who wants a quality experience. read more

Got an amazing hair cut from Cyndi. I was a little intimidated at first since this seems to be more of a "woman's salon" but I quickly got over it. Cyndi gives great men's haircuts for a reasonable price. I swear I've paid twice as much for a haircut. Highly recommended! read more

Super beyond fantastically awesome! That doesn't help you know how awesome this place is? I am new to the area and bought a groupon to get my feelers out there for a salon while I am here. I am happy I found them. The whole staff I met was amazing. I had too much coffee and annoyed myself with how much of a chatter-box I was..but they were phenomenal. Colleen was my stylist. I love her!! She did exactly what I asked for. I got a cut, style, deep conditioning, root touch-up and toner. She knows what she is doing and she is great at what she does. I thought my hair was so gorgeous my outfit wasn't worthy and I went home and changed. So serious. I am ready for my roots to come back so I can get my hair done again, although next time no coffee. :o) Just sayin! I highly HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone who hasn't found a salon yet. It is worth the drive. A small friendly salon. Plus it's next to a Starbucks. LOL! read more

I found this salon through a groupon promotion. I'm so glad I purchased this groupon because I just found my new hairstylist-Colleen. I'm so excited about her! I move around a lot and always dread the experience of trying to find the right hairstylist. I went in today for highlights and a cut. My highlights turned out beautiful. I also made a big decision and got bangs for the first time in 15 years. I'm not gonna lie...I got a hot flash of nervousness as she snipped away but I couldn't be happier with my haircut and new bangs! She really shaped up the rest of my hair nicely too. You can definitely trust Colleen. I can't wait to go back to her! read more

I purchased a Groupon for a full highlights package and scheduled my appointment with Megan. I am a total neurotic basket case when it comes to my hair and I was almost a no show since I was so worried. I'm so glad I somehow found the courage to show and met Megan! I had the best experience ever with her. She is cute as a button and very professional as she listened to me ramble on about nothing. I explained to her the issues I have when I get highlights and she really listened. I told her since my hair is long I like to wear it in a pony tail or headband to keep it out of my face and explained to her that I usually have to wait weeks to do this after a new highlight appointment because of the crooked or misplaced new highlights. She assured me that this wouldn't be the case with her but how many times have I heard that before??? She was right!!! She did my hair perfect and absolutely the way I wanted. I also haven't trimmed my hair in ages because I like it as long as possible however the ends were horrible. I trusted her to trim it and holy cow it looks great and is still long. I didn't loose 5-6 inches like I normally do at other salons. She provided me with the regular cost of a partial and full highlights package and I was extremely surprised to hear how reasonable their fees are. Megan is definitely my new hairstylist and I hope she never leaves. Unfortunately for her, she will have to listen to me ramble about nothing each visit. =0) I highly recommend Megan she is the bomb and really knows what she's doing. Thanks Megan, I'll see you next time!!! read more

Megan is a lifesaver!! I started seeing her 3 years ago right after my hair had been ruined by another stylist at a different salon. She is amazing!! I love my hair and get tons of compliments! I have complicated hair with lots of grey, but it always turns out perfect. Megan is so friendly and always in good spirits - seeing her always brightens my day :) I never feel rushed and she is always ready for me at my appointment time (no waiting!). My husband also gets his haircut by Megan and she does a great job! Highly recommend!! read more

If you're looking for a truly amazing cut, style or color, Cyndi is your girl! I've been going to her for years now and she never disappoints. She's always friendly, professional and knows her stuff better than anyone I've ever been to. I've done just about everything I can to my hair including color (blond, brunette, red, blue..etc) and ALWAYS walk out in complete awe at what an amazing job she did. I've never walked out feeling unsatisfied and always receive many complements along the way. If you're looking for a new stylist, I promise she won't let you down! read more

Colleen has colored and styled my hair for many years, and I highly recommend her. I have thick coarse hair that is turning gray, and she knows how to make me look 20 years younger! She's amazing, and sweet and fun to talk to also. read more

This place is welcoming and full of stylists and beauty technicians that truly care about YOU, the client. I walked in on a busy Saturday hoping that someone could help fix a very botched color job I got somewhere else (and never going back, btw). Right away the front desk person tried everyone to see if they could squeeze me in. Nobody could. Okay, I got that. It was busy. But then LAVONNE walked up, sized up my horrible hair color and badly done eyebrow color and brought me back to her chair. She performed a miracle on my hair and eyebrows. She brought both back to the color I was used to. She volunteered to tone my color because it was THAT brassy and orange. She made it soft blonde again in about 10 minutes with a toner. AWESOME! And my caterpillar eyebrows were lightened to a soft brown to perfection. God BLESS LAVONNE. After much searching, I think I found the perfect colorist for me just by walking in accidentally on a Saturday. SO HAPPY!!! Again, these ladies at LaDolce Belladonna truly care about you looking your best. read more

Bought a groupon for a partial highlight, cut & deep condition. I was with Michelle and I LOVE the color it so perfect. The best highlight I've had in years!! She just cleaned up my cut, I'm growing my hair out and it's perfect!! I will definitely be back. read more

For my money, the best nail artist in town is Gloria Noguez at La Dolce BellaDonna. Pink and whites or amazing nail art...Gloria does an amazing job. She is very friendly, listens to what you have in mind, and goes to great lengths to make sure that your fingers and toes look better than they have ever looked before. I've had acrylics for almost 20 years, and my nails have never been as pretty or as hassle-free. She is awesome! read more

I have seen Savannah several times for color and cuts and she really does "GREAT" work. I had to move away from a stylist I loved and I couldn't be happier in choosing this salon and getting really lucky with someone who really cares about you and your hair concerns !! read more

Love this place. Friendly staff in a great location. There are many services at one location which makes planning a salon day easy. My sister even had all her bridesmaids hair and makeup done the day of her wedding. Highly recommended this cute salon. read more

I got highlights and a hair cut by Danielle and I LOVE IT!! She did such an amazing job with blending in my gray hair with the beautiful colors she chose for my hair. She made me feel sooo comfortable and pampered. I have had some bad experiences with getting my hair cut and colored, so naturally I am always nervous when a new person doing my hair. She made me feel sooo comfortable with the whole process. I felt like I have known her for ever. She is such a sweet heart!! I look forward the my next visit with her!!! Everyone in that shop was so nice!!! I would recommend this shop to everyone!! read more

I've got three words to describe Arlene. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Because she's clearly an expert in both cuts and color , I am always delighted with the way my hair looks when I leave the salon. When I first went to her she took her time in trying to understand what I wanted, and made numerous helpful suggestions once she got what I was looking for.I have shopped around for over 2 years for a stylist who can do my hair the way I like it, and FINALLY I've found her.She's an asset to ths salon, a top notch pro I highly recommend. read more

Don't get your hair done by Hannah. Got my hair dyed and two weeks my hair lost all color and was ruined. Hair is stretchy and rubbery. Definitely damaged now. Her prices may be cheap but you can find quality work at a better price. Rude customer service as well. Leaves and goes and talks while she leaves you sitting in the chair. Or the hair washing station. I was there for almost 4 1/2 hours. It shouldn't have taken that long for the hot mess I ended up with. read more

Just had my hair cut by Hannah B. for Locks of Love and I love it! She was really friendly and nice, and closely followed the directions to make sure that the hair is cut and packed correctly. Definitely recommend Hannah for haircuts and colors! She trained at Paul Mitchell School and is very knowledgeable. Location also easy to get to- right off the freeway with ample parking. read more

Make sure to ask For Hannah!~ She was awesome!~ Did a cut, color and added purple highlights. Everything looked great!~ She is also as sweet as can be! I highly recommend her and this salon!~ read more

I loved this Salon! It was very clean and nice and had a homey feeling to it. Angela did my nails and she was very social and made you feel comfortable. I love my nails and I will definitely be going back! read more

I had my first appt. with Melissa yesterday, not only did she come in early before her shift even started to accommodate me; but I got an awesome haircut as well. I will definitely continue coming to this salon. Super happy with my cut and service! read more

I live in the area and decided to try this place out, as I had never been there before. I scheduled a pedicure and what a disappointment! Everything was going okay, until the 'massage' part. The girl used an abrasive scrub on hot skin! Ouch! It's one thing to exfoliate, but a scrub is not supposed to be used during a foot/leg massage. My poor legs were so raw (and oily) afterward. To make matters worse, I asked the girl for a small design, just a flower or some glitter, and she said she didn't know how to - that most of her clients were 'older' and never requested such. She said another girl could do it for me and that she was really great at it. Omg.. the 'design' looked like a doodle done by small child! I don't know what it was even supposed to be! The fact that a nail technician cannot offer a full service and that these girls really think they have some talent is so pathetic! I'll never come here again. read more
