    Unfortunately I have to leave a bad review. I went to Leah at pleasurehead salon. I have never in…read moremy life had a haircut as bad as this. This is a SUMMER WRECKER! I asked for a dusting, I am in my sixties with very thin hair... she proceeded to cut layers everywhere when I had asked for a blunt cut with a tiny layering right above the the bottom!!! She was pretty surprised herself! I sent a message telling her how unhappy I was , not a word back! Horrible service and I'm very upset!

    I've been to Pleasure Head (PH) four times now and had amazing experiences with Jennifer (who I…read morebelieve no longer works there, but you can see a photo from my last review!) and Shawna. They were incredibly personable and made sure to check in with me throughout every step of the haircut process. They both delivered amazing results. Jennifer gave me a super edgy look and Shawna later gave me the blunt cut of my dreams, hence why I had kept returning. Now, there's A. I first went to her when my edgy look had grown out and wanted to get it refreshed. Everything was going pretty well, until the point where she accidentally used the wrong scissors and chopped off a section of my bangs. It was hard to recover from that but accidents happen and she expressed deep remorse and tried her best to fix it. It wasn't the best, haha, but it eventually grew out after several months, and I didn't want this experience to deter me from returning to my fave salon. :) Then, I went to A for a chocolatey brown balayage. We had a consultation beforehand. My hair is virgin and very dark so what I was looking for was a very subtle change to add dimensionality to my hair since I had just gotten a blunt cut by Shawna. But... what I got was not what I asked for. I have gotten balayages before and one key component is teasing the hair before applying bleach. Yes, it was being teased, but by the tiniest amount. This led to pretty much my hair being bleached solidly rather with the quintessential natural blending of the highlights which define a balayage. On top of that, the bleach application was all over the place. In some sections, it was applied so close to my roots. In others it was 3 inches away. And A decided to give me money pieces because she thought they would look cute. When I noticed the heavy bleaching, and pointed it out, she mentioned that it would become darker with the toner. I was anxious, but I wanted to trust the process. When the hair was finally done, I was devastated. It was patchy, brassy, and bleached in such a way that doesn't even come close to the definition of a balayage. I told A that I would need some time to get used to it. After several days of staring at my hair in the mirror, I reached out to A. She agreed that it wasn't at all like the inspo pics and she was willing to redo it for me. At that point, though, I was too anxious to go through another round with PH, especially after my previous experience. So, I made the decision to reach out to a hairstylist in Santa Cruz that is known for his balayages and I sent the pictures of my hair and he immediately took me in (thankfully!!) bc the hair had truly destroyed my self-esteem. After the botched hair, I literally canceled all my plans for the next week because I didn't want anyone to see me like that. He called it a hair emergency, haha. Well, that appointment went wonderfully, and he was able to color-correct the hair and achieve the results I wanted from the start. One major pro about A is that she does a great job at maintaining the health of the hair during her work. It was actually really cool and impressive to see that when she was taking off the foils after the bleaching process, little to no hair came off with it. Even though she brought my natural hair color from one of the darkest shades to such a light color. That is definitely one of her incredible strengths!! I let A know I went with another stylist and canceled my redo appointment. I also asked for a refund, considering the results were so far from what we discussed. She was completely respectful and remorseful and mentioned that she wished she had an opportunity to fix it herself. She reached out to her manager to ask about the refund, and the request was denied bc I went to another stylist and didn't let her redo it. I am not sure if that's a common policy, but I felt saddened that accountability by the salon wasn't taken in that regard. You wouldn't hire the same plumber again if their work caused your pipes to burst in the first place. Twice. Honestly, I am deeply saddened by this and it pains me to even write this review because all of my other experiences at PH have been SO positive before this. I don't think I will be visiting again, unfortunately. That being said, A is an amazing person (her hair is also SO cute!!! which already is a testament to her skills; also, she does a great job at matching the vibe, and I /STRONGLY/ believe that these were rare occurrences, especially considering all of her previous positive reviews. You can check out her work on her instagram page. Lots of people have had amazing results from her, especially with haircuts. So please don't let that deter you from hiring her. But maybe not for balayages, LOL.

    I can't say enough good things about my experience here. I have been regrowing my hair after…read morechemotherapy-induced alopecia and was very anxious to have anything done to it, but Megan made me feel so calm about the entire experience. My hair had grown back curly and crazy and I had no idea what to do with it. I didn't come in with an idea of what I wanted done, just that I wanted to feel more like myself on my upcoming wedding day. Megan advised a Keratin treatment and extensions, neither of which I had done before. With these options, I was able to style my hair without having to cut any of it off (something I really didn't want to do). I feel more like myself than I have in over two years and it truly is Megan's expertise to thank! I can't recommend her enough to anyone going through something similar.

    I absolutely love this place and Camila is amazing at doing small colorful extensions in my hair!…read moreShe was so wonderful at fixing my hair when I was the one that screwed it up! So I came here for the first time right when things started opening up again. And I was in a major need of hair help. I tried to dye part of my hair pink by myself and failed miserably. I have dark brown hair, so I had to bleach it. Well, of course my hair just turned orange. Then when I tried to apply pink hair dye to it, it didn't take, so I just had a weird orange streak in my hair for a while. It was annoying me, so eventually I just decided to cut it off....mistake....don't do that! But anyways....here I come rolling into Arrow with almost a partial bowl hair cut where the streak I cut out is and the rest of my hair super long (it looked terrible, yes, lol). I ask Camila about extensions, and even though I only had a haircut scheduled, she made time to go ahead and put in extensions since her next appointment wasn't for a bit, and completely saved my hair and my self-esteem lol. And both the haircut and the extensions looked awesome!!! Exactly what I wanted! Maybe even better than I had hoped for, because I kinda thought I had ruined my hair to a point where it couldn't be fixed lol. Also love the time she takes to shampoo my hair! One of the best feelings is someone else washing your hair! Also, she's super friendly and knows when I want to talk and when I want to sit in silence! And I went back since and she put in a new blue streak in my hair which I also love, though I think I'll go back to the pink streak next time. She made me love extensions and discover a new thing that I absolutely adore. This is definitely part of my hair routine now, keeping up with a streak of color extension. It makes me feel so much more like me and it's super cute! I also recommended Camila to my sis when she visited my from the East Coast, and she loved her color extension as well! Will keep coming back for Camila to do my extensions and haircuts!

    I've been getting my hair cut at Stranded Beauty Bar for over a decade, and I can honestly say…read moreJason and the entire staff are incredible. Walking into this place feels more like visiting family than going to a salon. The ambience, the warmth, the conversations, the energy -- it's always welcoming and genuine. Jason's level of precision and consistency is unmatched. Every single time I sit down in his chair, he takes his craft seriously and delivers an exceptional cut. That kind of attention to detail and care is rare these days, and it's why I've stayed loyal for so many years. 10 stars if I could. Highly recommended to anyone looking for not just a great haircut, but an experience that actually makes you feel valued and at home.

This is one of the first balayages Jason did for me and every time, without fail, I always left with the best color and haircut! From copper, to blonde, to brunette, he always took his time! There are many places with skilled individuals and people who will listen to what you want, but his execution is what I miss the most! Definitely visit stranded beauty bar!
