Ruth is a miracle worker. Entering the salon, my hair needed triage. The hair is Incredibly damaged from heat, lack of cuts and a thyroid issue. A few days ago, a large chunk broke off creating bangs on the left side of my head. Preserving length as much as possible, Ruth worked a miracle to deeply condition and reshape my hair providing a long term manageable prescription to get my hair back on track. My long blonde hair has been almost like a security blanket to me for most of my life, and I am so thankful that I found Ruth to help me repair my mane and give me an excellent cut that blends in the chunk of missing hair. Having just moved to San Diego, I'm super grateful to now have my local stylist. Ruth is a dream. read more

Absolutely amazing salon, no attitude, everyone is so welcoming. Elena did my Long Bob cut, and simply nailed it, she's a real pro. Highly recommend! read more

They take their time with cuts. I went to Cathy she is very customer focused, asks how you want your hair cut, and does a great job. She can be busy so I recommend making an appointment. Clean Salon, efficient staff. read more

Came here about a month ago and Stylust is under new management. I got a haircut from Ruth and she was really friendly and asked me a bunch of questions before my cut to make sure we both understood what style I was looking for. They have a nice website that is easy to book appointments and see what services they offer. $45 for haircut, $75 for haircut and blow dry. This includes a hair wash with shampoo. I took a star away because my sister got a haircut as well but with a different stylist, but she wasn't happy with how it turned out at first, but after a fix, it was fine. I would recommend Ruth as she really makes sure what you're looking to get done. read more

Jen, Cathy and Sarah are all amazing! People stop me on the street to ask who did my hair!

Jenn, the owner, is an excellent stylist! She is versatile and is great with shorter hair and styles for the more mature woman.

I get a root touch up every 3 weeks. Cathy my stylist gives an amazing experience with an head message to die for and a blowout that lasts up to four days. Stylust owner Jen is also very talented, sweet and kind. I would highly recommend this salon. read more

New to Carlsbad and not sure where to go, as I am very picky about my hair, and my hair is very fine, it's difficult to find someone who really knows how to work with fine hair. Well I hit the jackpot when I found Cathy! Not only does she do an amazing haircut and knows how to cut fine hair so it looks as though it is fuller. Cathy also is fantastic at highlights, really listens to what you want. Add to that she came in work especially to do my hair Christmas Eve, you cannot get better service than that. Did I also mention she has a great personality and I enjoy my time getting my hair cut and colored with her. I will not go anywhere else. I recommend give her a try, she really listens to what you want/need and is not afraid to suggest what she thinks might be best. read more

I'm a natural brunette and ever since I saw a girl with platinum hair I dreamed of rocking the same look one day. Soooo many people and stylists told me I couldn't achieve that level of color lightening UNTIL I stumbled across Ruth at StyLust!! She took the time and patience and definitely flexed her skill and expertise with application placement and processing time and i literally gasped at the final result i felt SO confident and adored how it turned out-- Ruth is a goddess and KNOWS her stuff. 10/10 would recommend !! read more

Nice place, Clean and friendly staff. Take my mom there weekly since we moved here a month ago. She's happy with her hair.

One of the best hair cuts & dyes I've ever had! Cannot recommend Cathy more, she's absolutely lovely and did everything she could to make sure I had a good experience even though I had a pretty difficult ask. She really understood my hair and went ten extra miles to help the color come out exactly how I was dreaming of. Couldn't be happier with the result!!! read more

So I'm a FTM at 42. After experiencing hair loss and a what seems like a TON of grays after my daughter was born I was in need of some TLC. Made a phone call to Dina and I knew I was in good hands. I needed something quick and easy but still wanted to be cute and sassy & Dina delivered. My grays are gone and I LOVE my new do!! Short and sassy is what Dina delivered. I've gotten so many compliments on both the cut and the color. I absolutely love it. Dina is awesome and I can't wait to go back to see her again. read more

She is an excellent stylist in all matters hair, and really cares that her customers are happy with the results. She is eager to please and will try to accomplish with excellence any hair goal you have. She is also very open and fun to talk to! She used hair products to wash and condition my hair that I've never heard of before and when I left, my hair actually shone and felt silky for the first time ever! Her prices are unbelievably reasonable, also. She is going to be a raving success in this town! read more

Finally! After years of looking for a cool place to get a hair cut, StyLust landed in my lap. Prior to heading to StyLust I already had an awesome stylist (Lissa) and now she has her own place to call home... Stoked! StyLust is nestled right in the heart of Encinitas shopping and neighbors shops (big and small) and food. Once inside StyLust has a great modern vibe and goodies set aside for anyone who's waiting for a cut. Everything is clean, cool and modern. I love the crisp professional feel of the place and friendly community vibe. The best part about StyLust... The people. If I am honest I would have followed Lissa wherever she landed, but after my first visit to StyLust I really liked what they have created. This place is brimming with talented and exceptionally nice people. I will be back many, many, many times. read more

Like many other reviewers, I will follow my stylist anywhere - and now she's got her very own salon! When I first came to the San Diego area almost 10 years ago, I was referred to Diana - who is now the co-owner of StyLust. Diana isn't just my stylist, she's my friend, and it's so great to see her vision of this space come to life! The studio itself is lovely - beautiful light fixtures/good lighting, comfortable chairs, recliner chairs at the wash stations, not to mention the wonderful people here who do hair. Useful info: this location used to be known as HS Salon. It's near all kinds of shopping (TJMaxx!), a wine bar, a juice bar, and a gym. Walk-ins are welcome if they have a stylist available! read more

Eddina did my highlights and I am absolutely IN LOVE with how it turned out. It's a beautiful mix of Carmel and butterscotch in my dark brown hair. She gave me wine and a up to date magazine while I got the foils in my hair. Shampoo smells great as well. It's day one after seeing her and I have got nothing but compliments on my hair. If I could give 10 stars I would. Highly recommend!!! read more

I took my 7 year old daughter here because of the reviews. She just needed a trim. When we arrived we weren't greeted until after a few minutes and there was only one other client the stylist was finishing up with. After the lady was done the stylist asked us to come back. She barely spoke two words to my daughter, which made me feel like this lady didn't like children. My daughter was compliant and didn't move at all during the cut. The stylist was very harsh with the blow dry. At one point my daughter looked as if she wanted to cry. I asked after what was wrong and she said the air was burning her neck and scalp. While my daughter needed up having a decent hair cut I won't ever come back. This lady needs to work on customer service and maybe smile a bit more. She made us feel unwelcome and as if we shouldn't have made the appointment at the end of the day. You would think with COVID a salon needs business, I guess this one is fine without ours. read more

Just visited StyLust and got a great haircut from Cathy. SkyLust is clean friendly and professional. I will be going back to Cathy!

StyLust hair studio is first and foremost very clean and spacious. You don't feel like you are right on top of one another like in many other smaller salons in town. Cathy N. Provided not only a great haircut but also fantastic customer service. I would recommend Cathy and StyLust to all of my friends and family. read more

Great new owner and Kathy is terrific. I highly recommend this hair studio.

Love this salon! Sam Fox is so friendly, sincere and an awesome stylist! Salon is modern, clean and has a very comfortable feel!

As a week-end walk-in I just wanted to ask if there were any time slots available. Two stylists were busy with clients so I waited patiently to be acknowledged. For 20 minutes I was completely ignored. No one even said 'Hi we'll be with you when we're done.' Then another client came in and they both greeted her with 'Hey - good to see you again. Would you like some water while you're waiting?'. I left - went across the street where they made me feel like a valued customer. They made me so welcome that I even bought a gift card for my daughter. Guess where I'll being going from now on? Customer service matters. read more

I've been going to Lissa long before she opened this studio. It's clean, welcoming, and full of good energy. If you want Perfect color, a precision cut, or anything else she'll hook you up! I won't go anywhere or to anyone else! read more

How this place has such glowing reviews is beyond me. My cut was fine, my color was not close to what I asked for. But by far the worst part was the owner, who was just horrible to her staff. I listened to two hours of her barking at them, making snarky comments, and shaming them for various transgressions (wanting to turn the air down, accusing them of making appointments at the wrong time, and saying things like "how do you not know that by now" to staff that were clearly newer). I've never wanted to leave a salon so badly in my life. I can go somewhere else to get my hair dyed the right color, which isn't a big deal, but I feel so bad for anyone who has to put up with that attitude day in and day out, it really creates a negative atmosphere that doesn't encourage repeat business. read more

Samantha always does a fantastic job on my hair! Sam knows how to blend the greys, so they are not conspicuous when your hair grows out. She has kept my hair healthy and soft, always creating beautiful cuts, color and style! If you need a great stylist... go to StyLust... Besides the beautiful airy atmosphere, Samantha is always fun and has a great personality, plus she can do what you want! read more

Lissa is the best!! The salon is always beautiful and friendly, the products are top notch and they give the best advice.
