As I drove up to the road the Salon was a cute and cozy home with plenty of parking in the front or side streets. As I entered the door I was greeted right away by my new stylist Teresa and given a tour. I was walked through to the back where I was given a gown thing to cover my clothes during my experience. When I came back out there my stylist guided me to my Queen chair haha okay not really but let's face it when you are sitting in the chair you want the experience to be all about you and to feel like the Queen! And so my color and styling journey began....what to do with my hair??? Teresa was so patient and listen to every thought and idea I had going on in my head. She made awesome suggestions and made sure to be clear that those were my expectations. I appreciated her not trying to change my vision but only enhance my vision. So I went with dark brown(natural color) and soft lighter brown highlights. As you know color and cut takes a few hours so we had lots of girl talk in between! That was another check in the box for me because duh! Your stylist has to be your BFF too! Anyhow ta dah!! What a beautiful surprise my hair was healthy, shiny, and she hit my vision right on the dot! The products used were awesome and I felt like the Queen of the Salon in that moment and also til today haha! Teresa Guthrie is an awesome color and stylist! I would trust her with my hair anytime! Prices are competitive with others in this area and you are getting what you paid for without a doubt. I can see the value in this place with the employees and customers it truely feels like a mini getaway where you are the Queen of the castle and have marvelous hair! lol! After reading this review I hope you are as comfortable with this salon as I was and when you are booking an appointment Teresa Guthrie is your girl!

I can sit in her chair and just let her do her thing and I know it will come out beautiful. She never cuts too much off unless I say take as much as needed, which happens when I really need a cut, her layering is on point and she is probably the best colorist I know! She has a very clean and cute studio inside of Sola Salons. I am happy she is so happy there and among such a cool group of nice and talented women. She is Certified to do IBE which is Invisible Bead Extensions. It is so hard and very expensive to get certified by the Creator of this method. I mean thousands.. The technique is all about hiding the seam of the track. So they layer your hair on both sides of it and you get a seamless and "Invisible" extension so when you put your hair UP or in a PONYTAIL, you CANNOT SEE IT!!! It is awesome. I live in the gym and always have my hair up during my training, so this was imperative that I was able to have a high pony, not just a low one worrying about seeing an extension. She did them perfectly. She also colored them with so much dimension and they match my hair seamlessly. My hair was longer to start but you cannot tell where my hair ends and where they start. She put in 22" which was perfect. I got about 4 extra inches and lots of much needed volume. If you are looking for someone to do INCREDIBLE INVISIBLE EXTENSIONS, call her. They are so comfortable too. I really thought they would feel weird or heavy or bother me, but they don't at all. I am ecstatic with them.. Heather is super cool, funny and so sweet, you will love her as much as I do!

My hairstylist asked what I was doing and what I was wearing to the event and he said the Cosmo-Tai would be best. I trusted his judgement and went for it. The hair washing portion was so relaxing. They ask if you want it washed once or twice. I said twice and I'm glad I did- the scalp massage was drool-worthy. The hairstyling was quick and efficient. It only took 30 minutes! There is a lot of product used and my stylist asked if it was okay, so there's your consent! Being in the chair, I was confused as to why there wasn't a mirror... until I was swirled around at the end and shocked by the result. Beautiful styling making my untamed, frizzy hair into a shiny, glossy look. It lasted all night and for days afterwards.

Solara is located on the middle level of the Del Mar Plaza - with an attached parking garage so there's no need to fight for street parking. Bonus - parking is validated at the salon. My husband actually started seeing Tracy for his haircuts before I came in, and he had glowing reviews. Soon after, I made my first appointment and there was no turning back. Tracy took the time to really understand what I was looking for and my overall goals for my hair and hair care routine. One of the most important steps which is often overlooked by stylists is letting the client know if their expectations are realistic, healthy for your hair and the maintenance in keeping up your preferred style - Tracy didn't skip a beat and I knew from the jump what my upkeep needed to be. We have since built a relationship where she just knows what I'm looking for and I trust that my hair is going to look amazing. And it's the perfect blonde! Looking to make a change and find a new stylist / salon - I can't recommend Tracy and the ladies at Solara Salon enough! You'll walk out feeling like a million bucks!

I'm not one to leave negative reviews but I feel inclined to share my experience here. I got a cut…read moreand color from Katee and while the color was fine (though not much different than what I started with), I am very unhappy with the cut. I have long hair and always get a subtle cut with long layers which I emphasized to her prior to any cut being done. Truly not a crazy or difficult request. I told her that my hair needs to be long enough to all fit into a ponytail or top knot bun and she said yes definitely. Thinking back now she never asked me how short I wanted the layers to be at their shortest, which every stylist has always asked in the past. Regardless, the subtle haircut I wanted ended up as more of a chop with a weird section of blunt short layers in the front that look truly awful. They do not blend well and are too short to stay in a ponytail when pulled back. I gave it a couple weeks to see if things would even out after the freshness of the cut wore off, but it still looks just as bad and I'm devastated knowing it'll take so long for these pieces to grow back. She told me that she guarantees her work but she can't make my hair grow back and I'm not trying to cut more.. I expected more from a senior stylist with senior stylist level prices. $420 later for a cut I'm unhappy with and color that looks about the same as before. And minus another $18 for parking because she did not validate my card correctly I guess and I had to pay. The vibe of the salon is fine, the people who work there seem to be nice, but I would not recommend this stylist. One other issue I had was that I booked for a cut and partial balayage to stick within a budget I was comfortable with. Katee ended up doing a full balayage and charging me accordingly (appropriately so)- but the issue is that before rendering the service she did not ask for approval (or even tell me) that she was going to do full instead which lacked professional transparency in the context of such an expensive service. Note: the photos emphasize the cut but the color is not true to life due to the indoor lighting where I took the pics.
