    Wow. I'm so happy. I haven't gotten my hair cut in 2-3 years and Claire did amazing! She did exactly what I asked for even though I gave her two different type of ways I wanted my hair. I wanted curtain/wispy bangs which is kinda opposite and yet she nailed it. I can have front bangs and if it's too much I also can push them to either side and it looks good. Highly recommend her and will be my go to person from now on.

    Jenn is amazing! I have thick dark hair with previous highlights. She completed a full highlight and gave me a trim. The highlights are beautiful! She is a naturally talented, and is sweet and personable. She made me feel very comfortable. Thanks to her I have beautiful hair. Thank you Jenn!!!

    Jenn Quinonez is literally amazing! She's the only stylist I trusted while I was living in San Diego and she never disappointed! She met and exceeded my expectations of what I wanted. She's super friendly and professional. I recommend her to everyone! Thank you Jenn

    Balayage... waiting time
    Jasmine Anne D.

    This review is for my second visit at this salon, my first experience with Monica was not too great. I came out yellow, brassy, and a painful experience. I'm so glad Carolyn and the owner Curtis could help me achieve my hair goals. I moved back from Florida last year and it's been challenging looking for someone for blonde balayage, moving forward I will go to Carolyn for my hair needs. Not only she's funny, friendly, and professional, she listens and explains everything without making seem redundant. I've had ashy blonde balayage for 4 years and I just wanted to find someone I'm comfortable coming in every 4 weeks and not pay an arm or a leg. I had an amazing experience with Carolyn for a full balayage, no more yellow and brassiness for me. Everyone there seems so perky and happy, good vibes here.

    From straight black to this. Victoria did an amazing job!

    Oh my gosh Victoria is amazing. So sweet, patient, kind & so talented. Absolutely trust her & will always come here for my hair. Even the salon itself is super clean & an overall great environment. 100% recommended this place & VICTORIA. Also, the owner was so helpful & responsive & kind, Curtis definitely added to the amazing experience!

    I love my new hair color.

    I have been going here every month for almost a year. And Lainey has been the best. I totally recommend her. Love my hair color

    I've been seeing Stevie for over 10 years, and I genuinely don't trust anyone else with my hair…read more She is incredibly talented, deeply educated in all things hair, and consistently delivers results that exceed my expectations. Every visit feels like you're in the hands of a true expert. Her salon reflects the same level of excellence. The space is always spotless, beautifully maintained, and has such a clean, trendy, modern vibe--you feel elevated just walking in. The environment is warm, welcoming, and clearly designed with intention. The standard Stevie sets for her team is unmatched. All of the stylists in her salon are top-tier--many trained directly under her or went through the same rigorous education she's known for. She also mentors her assistants personally and only hires those who meet her high expectations, which means you truly can't go wrong with any stylist there. I've never had anything less than a wonderful experience. From the talent, to the atmosphere, to the consistency and care, Stevie's salon is exceptional in every way. I recommend it wholeheartedly!

    I visited this salon in December because I was looking for a salon closer to me, as my regular…read morecurly hair stylist is based in Los Angeles, and I wasn't going up there anytime soon. I specifically requested a stylist who specializes in curly haircuts. When booking the appointment, I asked the receptionist directly if the stylist I was scheduled with specialized in curly hair. I was told yes. When I arrived and checked in, I asked again and received the same confirmation When I met with the stylist, I showed several reference photos, all with the same curl pattern and texture as my hair. I was very clear about what I liked and, more importantly, what I disliked in each photo. Above all, I explained that I was looking for more volume and more layers. It became apparent during the cut that the stylist did not know how to properly cut textured or curly hair and was not truly trained as a curly hair specialist. As the cut progressed, it was clear that my mid-layers were cut significantly shorter than my top layers, creating an uneven shape that did not support curl formation or volume. By the time we got to styling, I was honestly just over it. I left the salon disappointed with the result. I should have spoken up in the moment, but as someone in her mid-40s who has had curly hair her entire life, I know when a stylist simply does not have the training. There is no benefit in critiquing technique that isn't there. Stylists may be taught the basics of cutting curly hair in school, but that does not make them specialists. Curly hair requires advanced training, certifications, and ongoing education. I specifically requested a specialist, and that distinction was not honored. If you have straight hair and are looking for a basic blowout or loose curled blowout, this salon is likely a good fit for you. However, if you have any texture or curl pattern at all, I would strongly recommend avoiding this salon and seeking out a stylist who is truly trained in textured and curly hair. After this appointment, I went to Los Angeles to see my regular curly hair stylist. She had to correct the cut, address the uneven layering, and reshape my hair entirely. The difference was night and day. My curls were defined, clumped, full of volume, and healthy. They were not frizzy. The photos speak for themselves. I'm sharing this to be honest and helpful. Accurate representation of stylist expertise matters, especially for clients with textured or curly hair.

I just am no good at clipping my own toenails. They end up all crooked and jagged. Or I cut too deep and bleed. I asked my wife Becky if she would include me in her next appointment at Forever Hair and Nails. It is more than just a toenail clip. It is relaxing in a massage chair, a foot Jacuzzi, a heel scrub, a foot massage, and the fabulous lower leg massage at the end. I walked in and was greeted by Amy who had me take a seat. Becky was in the chair next to me. She showed me the remote control for the chair. There was a plethora of different massage settings to choose from. I told Amy that it was my first ever pedicure. She was extra careful and gentle. I am one who doesn't like my feet messed with, but this was different. I very much enjoyed it. When she was finished my feet looked and felt great. As did my legs. She had this gel stuff that she applied to my calves and shins for a lower leg massage. It was great. I asked Becky from now on to book me too every time she makes an appointment. For women or men. I highly recommend it. I was very pleased with Forever Hair and Nails.
