    2 inches taken off by Laney

    Laney always takes such good care of me and truly knows how to work with my hair type!

    THIS WAS NOT DONE AT STEVIE
    Jennifer G.

    I visited this salon in December because I was looking for a salon closer to me, as my regular curly hair stylist is based in Los Angeles, and I wasn't going up there anytime soon. I specifically requested a stylist who specializes in curly haircuts. When booking the appointment, I asked the receptionist directly if the stylist I was scheduled with specialized in curly hair. I was told yes. When I arrived and checked in, I asked again and received the same confirmation When I met with the stylist, I showed several reference photos, all with the same curl pattern and texture as my hair. I was very clear about what I liked and, more importantly, what I disliked in each photo. Above all, I explained that I was looking for more volume and more layers. It became apparent during the cut that the stylist did not know how to properly cut textured or curly hair and was not truly trained as a curly hair specialist. As the cut progressed, it was clear that my mid-layers were cut significantly shorter than my top layers, creating an uneven shape that did not support curl formation or volume. By the time we got to styling, I was honestly just over it. I left the salon disappointed with the result. I should have spoken up in the moment, but as someone in her mid-40s who has had curly hair her entire life, I know when a stylist simply does not have the training. There is no benefit in critiquing technique that isn't there. Stylists may be taught the basics of cutting curly hair in school, but that does not make them specialists. Curly hair requires advanced training, certifications, and ongoing education. I specifically requested a specialist, and that distinction was not honored. If you have straight hair and are looking for a basic blowout or loose curled blowout, this salon is likely a good fit for you. However, if you have any texture or curl pattern at all, I would strongly recommend avoiding this salon and seeking out a stylist who is truly trained in textured and curly hair. After this appointment, I went to Los Angeles to see my regular curly hair stylist. She had to correct the cut, address the uneven layering, and reshape my hair entirely. The difference was night and day. My curls were defined, clumped, full of volume, and healthy. They were not frizzy. The photos speak for themselves. I'm sharing this to be honest and helpful. Accurate representation of stylist expertise matters, especially for clients with textured or curly hair.

    Had a great experience with Mandi Elwood-Mansour. Very friendly, attentive and approachable. I liked the balayage she did for me. She was also very mindful to get me done in time.

    I have to admit, my first experience wasn't great, but I decided to give Stevie the salon a second chance--and oh my goodness, am I glad I did! I worked directly with Stevie herself, and she is an absolute gem: sweet, kind, funny, and a total wizard with hair. She is a must book. She matched my inspo pic perfectly while keeping it realistic, worked quickly, and shared tips and insights that I've never gotten from any other stylist. The salon itself is large, roomy, and has an upscale vibe that makes you feel pampered from the moment you walk in. Private parking? Massive. Location? Santee shopping center, right by all the good stores: Target, DSW, 24 Hour Fitness. Honestly, it doesn't get better than this. The quality and craftsmanship are unmatched. I wanted a lush, updated 90's layered look with a vibrant chocolate brown for fall, and Stevie absolutely delivered. Her assistant was also super friendly, making the whole experience feel like a fun girls' day out. My hair now? Soft, shiny, smells like heaven--and I'm obsessed. If you want someone who truly gets it, Stevie is the one. Consider this your official warning: you may never want anyone else touching your hair again! I know I won't! ;)

    Full babylight w/ Carly.

    This was my first time coming to Stevie Salon. My first impression of the place is small but cute and very clean. They also played good music. My service was booked with Carly. Carly is the sweetest. She's very knowledgeable and talented. I had showed her my inspo pics before my appointment, and she managed to achieve what I was asking for in a four hour period. Throughout the entire session, she was very accommodating. She made my experience enjoyable. I received a full babylight with a haircut and shampoo and conditioner. The services didn't disappoint. I didn't question her work. I trusted her and the process. I definitely will recommend her if you're a new client looking for results. I will be referring my friends to Carly in the near future. Can't wait to book my next service with her. Keep up the good work!

    I can't believe I walked  earth with this hair that accurately resembles a bad Halloween wig lol

    Beautiful place and welcoming people, I came to Stevie The Salon with about 10 shades of yellow, Stevie didn't promise perfection since my hair was a complete disaster BUT I literally got goosebumps when I saw the final results, I wanted to get as close to my natural brown hair and she delivered!!! I loooove it!!!

    Lived in color!

    My granddaughter Bella has been coming here for years! Normally we see Cyan but today we had Taylor H. who did an amazing job! Bella has long hair and had a lived in color with extra blonde highlights and Taylor H. did amazing! The salon is always so friendly and very good with their clients! I highly recommend Stevie the Salon!

    Post appt for "lived in balayage" from the owner

    ***STAY AWAY*** I booked with Stevie (owner) and instead received treatment from very inexperienced apprentices who ultimately fucked up my hair. My wedding is in 6 weeks and I booked Stevie bc I liked her work on instagram, had I known this was a teaching salon and she would be delegating 80% of the work to her students, I would have NEVER came. So starting out, she was 25 minutes late getting me back to the chair, she told me to compensate she would throw in a free shine bomb and hair treatment (never happened). Ok great, showed her my inspo pics, told her about my wedding. She started foiling my hair but after 15 min she ran to another client to do a cut.. ok the apprentice takes over and takes me to the blow dryer, then washes my hair and adds a color root melt and toner. He then takes me back to the chair and starts blow drying. I am completely shocked my hair is full on blonde!! I almost started crying and complained to which they had to tone me again. While he's toning me for the 2nd time, Stevie is with a different client doing her foils (this is a different from client from the cut). By this point, we're 3 hours in and I'm super anxious and time crunched. My hair is not at the desired color I wanted but I just wanted to leave. They charged me $406 for a lived in balayage. Two days later this what my hair looks like (photos below). I reached out and asked if I could come in for a toner. Stevie said it was my shampoo that stripped the color and that she wouldn't fix it bc she wasn't the stylist for me. She then proceeded to give me only a partial refund. I'm now left with terrible hair weeks before my wedding

    Mini foil service with one row of extensions for fullness.

    Stevie is incredible! She did an amazing job on my hair, and I'm so excited to continue working with her. My hair has a lot of damage, but she was able to preserve its integrity while giving me exactly what I wanted. It looks absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you so much, Stevie! UPDATE. **** Highly recommend her extended extension service for MARCH. She's quick, thorough and the hair looks great.

    Is this place good for men's haircuts? Looking for a stylist, NOT a barber. Thanks!

    Yes. Patricia has been cutting my hair for years and I followed her here.

    Can they do up do styles for prom?

    Yes but everyone that works here is in independent contractor and not employed by the salon; call the front desk to inquire which stylists specialize in updos ❤️🙂

    Hi Do you have olaplex treatment?

    My biggest concern I've never seen a list of prices for all services.its discerning to be surprised…read moreat the end of your appointment then ...wam bam boom, it hits you $$$. Ive been told different prices from the same gal. who does my hair. PLEASE POST ALL COSTS FOR EACH SERVICE ON THE WALL IN PLAIN SIGHT TO AVIOD ANY SURPRISES. LASTLY THE PEDICURE BOWL NEED A THROUGH CLEANING.

    I had my first pedicure, and it was glorious! For those of you fellas out there who were like me…read moreand thought it was just a chick thing, you're missing out. I just am no good at clipping my own toenails. They end up all crooked and jagged. Or I cut too deep and bleed. I asked my wife Becky if she would include me in her next appointment at Forever Hair and Nails. It is more than just a toenail clip. It is relaxing in a massage chair, a foot Jacuzzi, a heel scrub, a foot massage, and the fabulous lower leg massage at the end. I walked in and was greeted by Amy who had me take a seat. Becky was in the chair next to me. She showed me the remote control for the chair. There was a plethora of different massage settings to choose from. I told Amy that it was my first ever pedicure. She was extra careful and gentle. I am one who doesn't like my feet messed with, but this was different. I very much enjoyed it. When she was finished my feet looked and felt great. As did my legs. She had this gel stuff that she applied to my calves and shins for a lower leg massage. It was great. I asked Becky from now on to book me too every time she makes an appointment. For women or men. I highly recommend it. I was very pleased with Forever Hair and Nails.
