I came here with a friend who had an appointment for her hair. She is really particular about her hair and would only go to certain places. I don't remember who her stylist was, but she said that she trusted her and wouldn't let anyone else touch her hair. My friend came in for a haircut. I was there kind of hanging out until she was done so we could go grab lunch after. My friend's stylist was really nice and she did a good job on her haircut. She did exactly as my friend wanted, so I can see why she trusted her. The salon isn't very big, but it's cozy and cute. The location isn't bad either, there's plenty of shopping right down the street. She cut her hair and styled it, but since my friend had thin hair it didn't take long at all. We were happily on our way to get some lunch. I would go back to this salon for a haircut myself. It was clean, pretty quiet and the results were great too. read more

Each stylist, esthetician, and employee is very thorough and takes the time to give each client exactly what they are looking for!

I went in for Shelbie for a blonde balayage. My usual hairdresser was booked and me, being as impatient as I am, decided I couldn't wait. Worst decision ever! Shelbie assured me she specialized in blonde. When she was done I was mortified, but decided to go home and style it myself before being irrational. Nope! Still ugly! I had to beg my hairdresser to squeeze me in her schedule since I'll be going on vacation in two days. Omg! What a huge difference ! I'll let the picture I attached speak for itself! read more

I've been going here for over 2 years. I have recommended to all my friends and people oon the street. I'll get stopped and told my hair looks great and I tell them to go see Alma. Alma does my hair great every time. Kaine is great at booking you an appointment according to your schedule. I have not used the Blow Dry Bar, waxing, or facial yet, but will eventually! Everyone is so nice. I get offered coffee or water every time. It's clean and neat with great music in the background. read more

I recently went to Alma for the first time on the raving recommendation of a friend I trust who always looks amazing and has been going to her for 20+years. Unsurprisingly, Alma lived up to every word of the hype--and more! Not only is Alma a sweet, genuine person who makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease right away, she has AMAZING vision, talent and skills. Right away she assessed what I needed and knew just what to do: the new French balayage highlights. I had read about them online but had no idea they would be offered in Palm Desert. I let her have at it and,,, WOW,,, what a difference!! I went in expecting a simple root touch-up that wouldn't be very dramatic to coming out feeling like I had received a complete hair makeover!!! I couldn't believe the beautiful and varied shades of blonde she added that finally make me love my hair again like I used to in high school. : ) And since I am growing my hair out, Alma didn't push me to cut it since I didn't want to. She kindly offered to trim any ends she saw but said it was in great shape and even complimented my cut (which was done in the OC where I used to live). What a class act she is! I am sold on this salon and on Alma after one appointment. I can't wait to go back!!! And to refer anyone I can with complete confidence that they will have a similarly wonderful experience. read more

I go here to get my haircut by Rosa because she is the best hair stylist around. I have gone to her for many years. I will never go anywhere else. read more

Top notch service, professional stylists with years of expertise, you'll be in good hands! I travel a lot and have been trying to find a little hair dryer that doesn't take up too much space but still does a good job and isn't too bad for my hair. I got the Amika mini dryer from Alma and I'm shocked how amazing it is! It literally dries my hair quicker than my regular-sized dryer at home and I have long hair. The best part though, is that my hair is softer, less frizzy and feels healthier with this little dryer. I get highlights and so my hair can be dry and break easily and drying my hair at home is never as good as a blow-out at the salon. But this Amika dryer is giving me great results and I can't recommend it enough! Also, it's adorable with a fun print, diffuser and carrying case, and has dual voltage for international travel. read more

Peeter is Amazing! Or, as he is affectionately known, Peeter The Great! Walked in, he had never met my hair....which routinely acts like a 2yearold throwing a tantrum, and I walked out of this salon AMAZED & HAPPY! He got my blonde perfect, no dry ends, no gold hue! Nice, super sweet and wonderful at his art! Hmmm, I might just have to be strategic with travel plans and hair appointments! Thank you, Peeter!! read more

Cory at Shear Hair Design has been making me look good for years!! He is a VERY talented colorist and hair stylist. I highly recommend him. read more

I met ZILPA at another location and followed her to this salon, boy am I SO happy that I did! I had never had my eye brows waxed before, nor did I think I needed to get them waxed. Zilpa helped point out where my brow should start/end and a shape that would compliment me. After the first Brow wax I was hooked! I also use to get my lashes done at a different salon, once Zilpa told me she did extensions also, I couldn't have been more happy! Who doesn't love a one stop shop to get your brows AND lashes done?! Zilpa is now my go to for BROWS AND LASH EXTENSIONS! The lashes are light and feather and look so natural. I have received so many compliments on my lashes and Amit of people think they are my real lashes, which is a plus! Zilpa is hands down the best and she is so sweet, accommodating and ensures that I am 100% happy every time! read more

Thanks Alma, I LOVE MY HAIR !!! read more

Jhon cut my hair today. He cut my hair they way I wanted it, and added something of his own technique to make it the way I wanted it to look. Wonderful job. I am very particular about my hair, and a new person only gets one chance. He got my vote. read more

Cory is amazing! My blonde hair is so difficult to color & highlight, but Cory does an awesome job! I like to keep my hair long, & he just trims the ends without taking off too much. His blow dries are wonderful, also. I highly recommend Cory for all your hair needs! Thank you. Barbara Holmes read more

Went to Shear Hair Design for the first time this past Saturday. What a beautiful salon! I was there to have Peeter blow dry and style my hair. Since it was my high school reunion that night, I had to be sure I could trust the person doing my hair. I met Peeter at a different salon but found he works here part time. Shear Hair is very clean and inviting. It's convenient location has parking in the back and front. I highly recommend this hair salon and will be back soon for a blow dry. I would like to add that they are very responsive to calling you back. read more

Go to see her once, and you'll be a new client, I'm sure of it! Be pleasantly surprised, and happy when your hair is done! She undid the horrible damage from a prior person, and it's nice that she was experienced, and knew exactly what I wanted! By the way.. She WAS at Tangled Salon, prior 2 Shear Hair Design.. It's a great place! read more

First time at the salon and I'd have to say one of the most enjoyable experience! My stylist was Corinn and she did such an amazing job on my blowout. She asked me how I wanted my hair to be styled. I have very thick hair which can be difficult to work with but she made sure to accommodate my request (even better than what I asked for). I would definitely recommend this salon and if you're looking for a stylist, Corinn is very sweet and amazing at what she does. read more

I can't say enough about how amazing my experiences have been at Shear Hair Design. Alma has been doing my hair and she makes it look beyond beautiful every time, my hair is very very difficult it is frizzy and kinky and natural curly all at once, I have never ever had a decent hair cut from anywhere in the valley, mostly because the stylist don't know how to cut this type of hair to get it to lay properly. I told Alma the process I go through everyday to get my hair somewhat presentable it takes me at least 2 hours. Alma did a Brazilian Blow, she said it would be life changing and she was sure right, now I spend maybe 15 mins my hair lays perfectly with bounce and body but no frizz at all, it looks likes its been professionally styled each time, and where ever I go I get complements. Alma I can't ever thank you enough! read more

Club Intrawest loves Rosa Elena at Shear Hair Design. Quite a few of us here enjoy having our hair kept in the best condition by Rosa. I personally haven't trusted my hair to anyone else in 20 years.

I was visiting from out of town and was able to get booked with Cory. I was nervous about someone new cutting it... He did an OUTSTANDING job! It was EXACTLY what I wanted. The cut & blow dry were impeccable. Also, the salon is quiet and clean and pleasant and convenient. The only problem is: it's in Palm Desert and not Ventura! (I posted a couple pictures...go see! I'm in the purple YMCA tee.) read more

Went to shear hair because I drove by it everyday and was intrigued to stop by. I'm So glad I did ! I was taken care of by Maria I just needed my bangs cut and colored. Usually I try to save my money and not spend a lot but I paid what I pay usually at any other place. She didn't just know what I wanted and proceeded she listened and guided me through what she was doing. The end result was better than I could have imagined and I got so many compliments! Can't wait to have my hair redone by Maria she is very professional and friendly ! read more

I just moved here from Ventura and made an appointment to get my cut/style. When I made the appointment, I emphasized to the receptionist that I was looking for someone who was very good cutting men's hair and up-to-speed on current trends. She booked me with Alma. When I arrived, I noticed that she is in her 60's so I asked again if she knew all the new men's styles and she assured me that she did. I arrived on time for my appointment but had to wait for 45 minutes to get my cut. I believe she accepted a walk-in or regular customer. I even had photos of the style that I wanted and all said and done, my hair cut was mediocre at best and uneven and not what I was hoping for. At check out she asked for $45 but the website said $35 for men's haircut. She claimed that the website wasn't updated.... The price wasn't the biggest disappointment, the haircut/style was. Although Alma seemed to be a nice lady, if you are looking for a stylish haircut, I don't recommend her. read more

Cheris is amazing! She truly understands my hair and trust her fully. She's so friendly and professional it's as if I'm getting my hair done by my best friend. read more

Moved to Palm Springs two years ago and was recommended to Hillary. She is an exceptional hairdresser and does a truly fantastic job on my wife's hair. Shear design is located on Rodeo drive read more

The worst experience. Corrine,the appointment setter,in addition to being rude is inefficient. Alma is very slow and talks about other clients. She has lost several shadow hills customers due to bad service. A customer told me she left due to the worst haircut because Alma was talking so much to other people. My time is as valuable as Alma's but apparently Corrine & Alma don't agree. Too many other palm desert salons to choose from. I will never ret First of all I never demanded to be taken and I had to call. No one had the courtesy to call me. The women at shadow hills that referred me to you have moved on to other salons. I never said you were a bad hairdresser it was Corrine that always made it an unpleasant experience. I have moved on and am very happy. You talk about all your clients and that is very unprofessional. So get your facts straight before you post an answer Every time I came in the help changed and they all talked about you. You may be a good hairdresser but management and customer service is not your strong suit read more

All the good reviews are true! Visiting from out of town and would not have had any other way to find this quality salon without the help of others in the same situation. I called early on a Monday morning expecting to leave a message but the phone was answered quickly by a very friendly voice. She asked if she could put me on hold but was back on the line in just a minute to offer me an appointment with Alma, the owner. I explained the style I was looking for and she assured me I would be pleased. Pleased is only the beginning! Alma really listened to me and then got her magic working. The results were perfection! We were the only ones in the salon as it's usually closed on Mondays but Alma offered to work with my schedule. That's real service and putting the client first. No wonder she's been in business for 20 years. read more

Went to Alma Diaz for the first time yesterday to just get a trim but decided to go for a totally different style. Alma did wonders on my new cut and I totally love it. We went from mid length to short and sassy. She worked from a picture and did exactly what I wanted. I can't wait to go back for my highlights. Alma you're fantastic! helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

I just wanted to add something to my last review I was really tired of my hair taking so much time and I asked Hillary if she could do a perm and she said "absolutely" ! she knew the exact right technique I've never been happier in my life I've taken an hour off of my day having to wash dry curl and finish my hair, I have a beautiful perm of beach waves and everybody that walks into my office raves about my hair, every single person! She really knew what she was doing my hair is soft and shiny and takes no management and really not much product I just spray it with water in the mornings to freshen the curl. Hillary has released my true essence. read more

The service is great! The people who work there are very friendly! And the prices are reasonable. There are always appointments available. Would definitely recommend this salon. read more

I checked the website and it said the salon was open today so I called for an appointment for a hair cut and was scheduled the same day for 2:30. I have short hair and knew it would only take 30 minutes to trim my hair but set aside 45 minutes to be safe. When I arrived for my appointment, the salon was locked. I called the salon and the same woman who booked my appointment said the stylist was on her way. This was at 2:15. I looked in the window and saw someone in the salon, got her attention and she unlocked the door so I was able to sit inside and wait. At 2:35, the woman told me the stylist called and was 2 minutes away. At 2:45 I left because I had another appointment that I didn't want to be late for. I didn't want someone who was late and stressed to cut my hair in a hurry. The salon was clearly not open and the stylist called in wasn't available at the time scheduled. Very unprofessional. read more

Zilpa has been doing my eyebrow for a year now. I followed her from another location as well. She is always prompt to schedule me in and returns my text or phone call immediately.
