    What I wanted...
    Michaela C.

    I made an appointment with a hairstylist named Gaby. She was able to accommodate me at the last minute as I wanted an updo for a wedding I attended this past weekend. I was able to book an appointment for the next day, so I appreciated her flexibility! I sent her a picture of what I wanted and she said in order to hold the appointment, I needed to provide a $30 deposit. The total charge was $90 for the hair style. She asked me valid questions such as if my hair was naturally curly or straight, if I had already washed it or had product in it, and so on. When I arrived at the hair salon, it appeared to be clean and modern. It didn't seem very busy for a Saturday, but that was fine with me because I had a limited amount of time to get in and out of there. Since I had shown Gaby what I wanted the day before, I assumed that she would've been able to put this together pretty easily. I honestly wasn't looking for perfection. I just wanted a pretty updo, so I wasn't trying to be too picky. After all was said and done, it took her approximately an hour and 15 minutes to complete my request, which was totally reasonable. Don't get me wrong, my hair style turned out pretty- it's just not what I envisioned. I thought the overall design on the back of my hair was way off, but I still got compliments on my hair at the wedding. Gaby was nice, polite and responsive, but she seemed timid, inexperienced and not confident in her skills.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entire Shears team seems so cohesive. They were all so respectful, helpful, and kind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I couldn't be more thankful. My hair was botched at Bella American a week before I went into Shears. I lost 6-10" unevenly and was given an unwanted and unflattering "money-piece." Despite my protests, my hair was bleached down to my scalp in spotty panels. I was crying, and I kept my hair in hats until I could go to Shears. I couldn't look at my reflection and doing makeup felt pointless. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rachel was so flexible and patient and kind. I went in for a haircut; my color correction was later the same week. She did my haircut, and she worked on my color correction between other clients![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went home feeling like a million dollars. I cried happy tears, finally! Thank heavens for the aestheticians at Shears. My hair is overdue for a touch up and I'm excited to go back.

    The sun just brings out the colors more. So pretty

    So excited I found my stylist Rachel ( from Supercuts) here. Rachel is the best in the AV. She has been doing my hair for almost 18 years now. So happy she found a new home. She did this AMAZING job on my hair. She is simply the BEST. thank you Rachel for bringing life back into my hair.

    Love my new style I came into Shears for a pretty drastic change, and the stylist Rachel, absolutely delivered!! I came in with about 20 inches of hair and some really cute pixie cut inspo pics, and I let her work her magic [[HIGHLIGHT]]I cannot express how much I love my new cut. I really feel like this style has given me such a unique sense of confidence.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]People even seem to treat me better lol[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    She was so sad.

    We looked at the reviews. Liked what we saw. Called to see if anyone was available for a hair cut for my girls. There was someone available. We ran! My 14 year old had been wanting a hair cut for a while now. We just moved to Palmdale, so I don't have my go-to places yet. So I relied on the reviews. Shouldn't have done that. My daughter's cut was choppy and way too short on the bangs. She was so upset. The first three pictures are what she showed the hairdresser, the last two is the cut she got. The hairdresser was nice, but omg. My 4 year old's cut was long layers, so her choppiness could be fixed. But for my 14yo, we've gotta wait for it to grow.

    I got my hair done by Brenda Pelayo IG: vicioustyling. I'm not sure where the miscommunication happened. I wanted to work towards the inspo pictures and instead got orangey brassy hair because she said i asked to keep my "natural hair and dimension"? I'm not sure how to have been clearer after sending and describing inspo pics. She kindly booked me again to strip and tone my hair again two weeks later but it made the color WORSE and more dark and orange as shown on the last picture. She said Something along the lines of "I added gold last time to the toner, that's was a mistake, I won't this time". And that didn't help it. I've been getting my hair lightened for years and this has never happened. Hopefully it was atleast a learning experience for her because I've been very upset over it.

    Products she uses

    My wonderful stylist Rubi surpassed my expectations! This was my first time getting my hair done professionally and my experience couldn't have been better. I asked for highlights which we weren't sure if my hair could manage. But she took the time to do a test strain and with further examination she was able to make it work. The vibe was amazing the whole entire time like we had been friends for a while!! She ever showed me products she uses and how to manage my hair!! Thank you so much! I feel so confident in my new hair!! Will be back again!

    Went in for a trim. Came out with all these short layers. I didn't have layers before. She totally just messed up my hair. Beware.

    I had my hair cut by Ivy. Requested 2-3 inches of damaged hair cut off but had 5 inches, 6 in some…read moreplaces cut. My hair does feel healthier and the cut looks decent. If I wanted to lose 5 inches I would have asked. My mistake was taking my teenage daughter for a cut as well. We gave Ivy 4 pictures of a basic A line cut. At first it was too long, more of a blunt shoulder length bob. Now She looks like a damn mushroom head. The cut is chunky and uneven. The back looks like it was cut with a box cutter. She even said "I think it needs to be thinned at the bottom?" Like ya it does. Are you asking me or are you the professional?! The whole entire head of hair is lopsided as if it was cut by a drunk on a boat. In a hurricane. I had to physically run out of there to keep myself from yelling. If she cut it anymore it would've had to become a pixie. Use caution. You get what you pay for.

    I received a private message from the salon and instead of receiving a sincere apology, I get a…read moredefensive response. Let me make a few points. Yes I was wearing a mask and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that this is why the front was so bad. But the mask doesn't cover the back of my hair which was also messed up. Also, I went to another hairstyles (wore a mask) and she was able to fix this terrible hair cut (front side included). Second, I believe this is what yelp is for, to leave a honest review about the service that we receive. Lastly, I didn't go back because if this is the service I received the first time around, how would the second attempt be better? My review was not meant to be disrespectful, sorry you feel that way. Best wishes to you too.

She has made me feel so confident and beautiful every time. I've dyed my hair almost every color you can think of, and somehow my hair is still so healthy because she truly cares about the health and integrity of your hair. She takes the time to make sure your hair looks amazing while also keeping it strong and healthy. I can't recommend Raquel enough! If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about her clients and their hair, she's the one.

She told me that because my hair had purple and red tones, it would be more challenging, but she assured me she could achieve the look. I trusted her, especially since I wanted my hair done for my birthday. During the appointment, she had an assistant working on my hair who clearly seemed inexperienced. I was never asked if I was comfortable with the assistant doing part of the service. I understood everyone has to learn, so I didn't say anything. When my hair was finished, I was disappointed. It came out much darker than what I had asked for and looked nothing like my inspiration photo. To her credit, Alexis acknowledged it was too dark and offered to redo it free of charge. I went back for the correction. Before she started, I asked about the highlights because I couldn't see any. She told me they would still show, but even after the redo, there were still no visible highlights, and the final result was still far from what I had requested. I don't like arguing or making a scene, so I accepted it and left. However, I'm extremely disappointed that I spent over $400 and didn't receive the hair color I was promised. Now I have to pay another salon to fix it. Based on my experience, I can't recommend this salon. If a stylist isn't confident they can achieve a specific look, it's better to be honest from the beginning rather than promise something that can't be delivered.
