The salon itself is in disrepair and dirty. I first went to the owner; then to his daughter; and then to another stylist , who's been there for years. I don't expect to be pampered; however, I did not feel that anyone cared about or appreciated me as a client. I always tipped upwards of 25 percent.

The last place, and this is not a hyperbole, took a whole foot of my hair when I asked to chop off 6 inches. I feel like a lot of places are trying to create an Instagram vibe inside the shop verses an Instagram worthy haircut. It's minimally decorated inside and feels more like a place for working families and everyday people. Loan was great. She listened and cut a minimal amount of my tresses to keep my hair long. I was especially happy to see that she is Asian and I would presume knew how to work with Asian hair. I asked for a layered haircut and it came out a more delicate version of the ones I used to get as a teenager. I'll note that it's modestly priced especially for women's long haircuts and it came out so cute! Enjoy!

Extremely Disappointed - Unprofessional and Rude Behavior…read more I truly thought I had found the perfect hairstylist after seeing Michelle's work online--it looked great, and I felt confident trusting her to help me find a look that suited me. Unfortunately, my experience was the complete opposite. I came prepared with a few inspiration photos and expected a collaborative conversation, especially since she claimed to help clients find the right style. Instead, Michelle was incredibly rude and dismissive. She told me she "deals with people like me all the time" and said she felt unsafe--simply because I asked a few questions. She spoke down to me, saying she didn't have time to "educate" me, even though I thought that was part of her job as a professional stylist. She labeled my questions as a "consultation" and implied I was wasting her time, despite me trying to be respectful and clear about needing help. I left feeling shocked, disrespected, and honestly hurt. I felt like she had no intention of helping--just collecting an $80 deposit before treating me poorly. This was a deeply upsetting experience. I would not recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a stylist who is patient, kind, or professional.

No Offense to the owner but this review is about Michelle Zabatta. She was recommended by a friend…read morebecause I was looking for a change in extensions from Weft to something less heavy. So I found Locket Extensions. During our consultation since super nice and sweet. The day of the install came and I loved the way my hair looked at the salon. Once I got home I noticed the top of my head was much fuller than the bottom and asked her if she could move some around. She said fine and scheduled an appt. She cancelled on my 3 times claiming she was having mental health issues. I told her I completely understood. I wanted to fix my hair before my trip to Hawaii. She finally fixed it. When it came time for my first MOVE UP I sat in her chair and as she started going THRU MY HAIR. After a couple of rows she began to complain that I wasn't take care of my extensions. She was like these are so bad that this isn't a MOVE UP this is a complete install. I was like what are you talking about. She then went to blame me for ruining my hair on my vacation. She said" I saw your photos you were all in the water wetting your hair". I was first of all I always avoid wetting my hair in pools or beaches as much as I can. And second of all if I wanted to wet my hair I could. Wetting your hair shouldn't affect the placement. I've been wearing extensions for many years longer than she had been installing extensions. So I know how to take care of them and how to take care of my investment because extensions are not cheap. Besides I go on a lot of vacations and never had a problem with my hair. The way Michelle went of on my that day was on called for. I was completely confused. She talked to my a child I front of the other stylist and their clients. As she did my move up she was doing hard and hurting my head because she was pulling on it. Like I said I have been extensions for years at TEN TEN salon on Wiltshire. So I know it should hurt this much. I asked her please be more gentle. She went on to blame like me. u didn't take care of your hair. She was being aggressive and just simply rude. I felt like I was I. high school. I wish maybe the owner would have stepped in and told her she was being out of line. I was embarrassed and humiliated. I paid for the move up and didn't stay for my root touch up. The whole time she was bitching at me I was already texting a friend to do my roots because there was no way I was allowing her do any more services on me. I paid for the move up and left About 8 hours later she begins sending messages like you only paid for a move up. What I did was a complete install. You either pay me or I'm reporting you to the Sheriffs. I found someone in Los Alamitos. Little did I know she was the founder of Locket Extension. She was so professional . She was appalled at my install. She called her hair stylist over to come and see my extensions. The pics I'm sharing are the ones she took. She told me this install was completely wrong. Click and zoom in on the pictures. About 2 months later I see Michelle at Target San Pedro. And of course causing some drama with poor lil young cashier. She made a whole scene in front of Target called his manger in front of everyone. She was so loud and arrogant. I guess that's just the way she is. Someone in line even told her to stop already and that she was I the wrong and not the cashier. If you love drama then I recommend Michelle Zabata

Rude. Disrespectful. I tried to call and make an appointment but no one answered the phone. So I…read moredecided to just walk in. I said " Good morning!" Two stylists completely ignored me. One was playing on her phone and the other was helping two ladies. No one said " I'll be right with you" or asked " hi do you have an appointment?" Or " how can I help you?" I sat there waiting patiently, but no assistance. I try to support my local businesses but instead I went to Belmont Shores and immediately I walked in and was greeted with a smile by two hostesses who said " good morning! How can I help you?" So ladies at The Carmelou Salon don't be afraid to acknowledge people or just say " I'll be right with you." Do better

She first washed my hair at wash bowl sat me down towel dried my hair ok cool ' and then just starts brushing my whole hair Straight from the top pulling And breaking my hair down! I mentioned to her she was being rough and tried to be gentle but ended back with the same tension and breaking my Hair all the way from my roots .. I'm ver sad also she used absolutely no hair products for after wash like I know All hair stylist that do and definitely at some type of heat protection in your hair well NOT HERE ' I was completely sadden because of how nice the salon was but the service was bad very bad for a first timer ... look like she was having a bad and that sucks why work and look like that!! I had a headache for a while after leaving there no joke was pretty sad knowing how much good stuff I heard from that salon but not that stylist !! Me personally coming from good hair stylist im Vegas all the salons I've been too are very sweet gentle try to have a conversation with you and she was just like upset had mad face' also every salons uses hair products on a customers hair for brushing out or blowouts or some heat protection but her nothing did she use. But at the end after curling my hair for waves only added hair spray for the waves... so whatever i just wanted to pay for my hair cut and leave so I did and will not be coming back again sad to say ... and I love a nice hair trip at the salon we all women do . Poor girl! I did message back the salon page wher I was told it's 65 for a women's hair cut for wash n style and haven't got no reply ... the poor girl definitely have bad service. I was very very shook at this whole hair cut situation. Breaunna girl your not it sit back down behind the desk answering the phone being an assistant. Not breaking hair more no fixing headaches with all that pressure on a customers head. Sucks I can't get my color done here also ... good luck to any other future clients .

It's her passion, and she absolutely loves what she does and kills it EVERY SINGLE. TIME. She has incredible talent; she's a "let me fix your crown" kind of babe, a TRUE gem. K IG: @Coloredbysin
