Terrible, I wanted dark brown and she made my hair blackkkkkkk! I said no layers and don't not cut it short.. can you guess what she did... so upset. And when I told her she did not do what I wanted she threatened me saying "I can ruin your reputation around here,, I know where you work"she doesn't know how to treat her costumers I told her where I worked because we were making conversation, no one should ever threaten their clients lol she's something else, I would not trust her if you have a specific idea you want for your hair you're better off going somewhere else. Save your money look the other way. read more

Having super curly hair, i was REALLY skeptical going somewhere new. I read good reviews about Suzanne, so I decided to take a chance. She ended up doing a FANTASTIC job. She listens to what I want and she executes it flawlessly. I've gotten my hair cut a couple of times, and am going in for highlights this week. Some of the reviews about her not being a typical professional are true, but i think it is just part of her charm. Her skills are far more than worth it! I definitely recommend her. read more

I bought a package deal with this company with the intentions on using it for a special occasion. This weekend was that occasion so I made an appointment. Today I drove an hour and a half in rush hour traffic to get there, and, knowing it was going to make me late, I let my stylist know and she said it was fine. When I got there though they wouldn't even see me! Then when I asked for a refund they wouldn't even give me my money back. I never spend money on myself, so this one nice thing meant a lot to me, and these people completely ruined that for me. If you are looking for friendly and caring staff, don't come here! Not to mention, the place is kind of a shack. read more

My first impressions of Hair Nouveaux were not great. When I arrived for my first appointment a few months ago (after purchasing a special discount package), there was no one at the front desk and even though stylists saw me waiting, no one greeted me. Though I was on time for my appointment, Suzanne did not greet me until 10 minutes past my appointment time--and only to tell me she had to get her lunch first. HUH? I waited until she returned very angry that the restaurant next door had forgotten her order. After watching her vent to coworkers about this, she asked me what I wanted done and halfway through coloring decided she was too hungry to do any more and asked if she could eat her lunch. There I sat with HALF my hair covered as I breathed in her smelly lunch. Despite the negative impressions, Suzanne did a fantastic job with my hair color and hugged me before I left. I booked another appointment with her and decided perhaps she was just having a bad day. Fast forward to today. I called to cancel my appointment due to a scheduling conflict. The woman who answered the phone was SO RUDE. I wish I had gotten her name. First she told me I need to call the stylist directly to reschedule. I told her this was the number I was given on a business card. Her response: "Um, no." Really?? Who says that to a client? I told her I would call back in a few days to reschedule and she again pointed out that I don't have the right number to do that. She acted very put out and her tone was very condescending. I told her she was being rude. Her response: "No, I'm not." I let her know "I FEEL that you are being rude to me," and instead of apologizing she began to get defensive, so I hung up. I'm giving two stars in consideration of Suzanne's talent, but the customer service in this place is very poor. I won't be going back. read more

I had purchased a package where you can pick 3 treatments from this location. Gives u a haircut and 2 facials. Got my hair done by Suzanne and she was awesome. Very nice, very cool and straight forward. She knows what she's doing and can make suggestions if u have no idea what u wanna do. I felt very comfortable with her right away. This is a cute tucked away business and the parking kinda sucks but overall a great place for a haircut. I made an appt for a hair color in a couple weeks, we will see how it goes! read more

So, I was having my annual hair disaster where I had decided that instead of going to a hairdressers to touch up my roots, I decided to use a kit from a local pharmacy. Of course my roots ended up going a light orange color, so I panicked and bought another hair colour (dark ash blonde) which then proceeded to turn my roots a dark blond color but gave the ends a green tint!!! This was the day before an important job interview AND 2 days before going to my husband's cousin's wedding where I would meet most of his extended family for the first time!! As you can imagine, I was in a huge state of panic!!!! :-s So, in my hightly stressed state I went onto Yelp to look for hairdressers in La Jolla that were reasonably priced and had great reviews and this is where I stumbled upon Hair Nouveaux and great reviews for Suzanne Beltaire. At 8 am (the day of my interview) I called up Hair Nouveaux who passed on Suzanne's number. It turned out it was Suzanne's day off but when she heard my story she amazingly agreed to come in and we met at 9 am at the Salon. Suzanne was great from the beginning and really calmed me down! She has over 25 years as a hairdresser and colorist and new exactly what to do with my hair. The color she gave me was the best I have ever had, and I have been getting highlights done for the past 15 years in England! She also even gave me a great hair cut and was very sweet to me the whole way through! I was so happy to have found Suzanne that I after I finished my interview I went back to the Salon and left her a big bunch of flowers and a thank you card! :-) I still can't believe she was so kind to come and sort out my hair on her day off (something that would never happen in England!) and how great the results were! Believe it or not I ended up being offered the job the same day (I start on Weds!) and I had a great time at the wedding! I can't thank Suzanne enough, I am so happy to have found her on yelp and even happier to know that I have a great hairdresser so close by, so I won't be making anymore hair disasters in the future!! ;-} I highly recommend Suzanne to you! read more

I used to go to Hair nouveaux when I was a La Jolla resident. I had stumbled upon it one day and struck up a conversation with the owner Lorie who became my hairdresser for a few years, then I moved. Besides the fact that Lorie is incredibly competent and respectful of your hair desire, Hair nouveaux is, by la Jolla standards, very affordable. The clientele is mostly local and mature (age-wise); thus, a few of the hairstylists there are very much set into their respective routine, but not Lorie. So if you plan on checking it out, ask for her! read more

I went to Hair Nouveax last week and Suzanne did my hair for me. She was super nice and I went in with no idea as to what I wanted done and walked out with a great haircut. She just looked at me and knew something that would look really good on me. I'll definitely be going back to Suzanne next time! read more

Suzy is great with hair! She has a great vision and is very friendly and professional. I always feel pampered and in good hands when she does my hair. If you are looking for an experienced, talented and serious stylist - book an appt with Suzanne. read more

The guy I had was really standoff-ish...so I was hard to kind of convey what I wanted done to my hair. He did a pretty standard cut to my hair, so it's hard to mess that up. Nothing extraordinary about this place from my experience. read more

Suzanne did my hair today and she was great! Not only did she give me a ton of great tips but she also listened to all of my crap. Great hair stylist, you should definitely book an appointment with her, I know I will again. read more

This is a great little hidden salon in La Jolla on Fay Ave. With a certificate through Mind Body Partnerships you can get three visits for skin or hair for a great deal. Definately check out their website. read more

Walked in for a haircut and blowout. Stylist was good, friendly, skilled. They use some sort of strong menthol-infused shampoo that made my scalp tingle almost to the point of burning... can't decide if I liked it or not. Interior of salon seriously needs a facelift - bad lighting, very small cramped stations for each stylist, lots of clutter and outdated fixtures... nothing "nouveaux" about this place that I could see. Stylist and receptionist waited until the end of my haircut to tell me that they weren't accepting credit cards; would have appreciated knowing that at the beginning of my appointment. Professionalism could also use improvement; when I walked in and asked, "How much would it be to cut and blow dry my hair?" the stylist and receptionist seemed confused and appeared to just make up a price on the spot... I agreed because it was it a reasonable amount and I was desperate for a quick trim. Stylist had to stop in the middle of my haircut to answer the phone because the receptionist was nowhere to be found. read more

I was visiting San Diego and desperately needed a haircut. I chose Hair Nouveaux based on the Yelp reviews and good price and they had a spot available the next morning. I got my hair cut by Suzanne for a very reasonable price ($45--I'm used to spending upwards of $60). I got a cute bob cut with sideways bangs. She did a fantastic job and I love the haircut more and more! read more

I called Hair Nouveaux after reading a good review on here. I called and asked if I could come in that morning, they directed my call to Suzanne. She toook me right away that morning. She did my hair perfectly! She was super determined to making my hair perfect. I now will only go to her! Her number is 313-980-1541... read more

Suzanne blew my mind with her personability, knowledge about hair, and absolutely excellent haircut that she gave me. I literally walked away from my appointment with her having "the haircut" that I've always wanted. The appointment started with a hair consultation and I was highly impressed by the fact that just by looking at my hair, Suzanne knew that it was blonde when I was a child and that my hair today is, in fact, still blonde (natural dark blonde, to be exact - I've had it checked against a color wheel several times in the past) and that I am not a brunette. The manner in which Suzanne cut my hair was very unique and precise. I've never had anyone cut my hair that way before, but it left me with the long layers in my hair that I've wanted for years. :D I highly, highly recommend Suzanne. You will not be disappointed if you choose to get a haircut from her. She is excellent at what she does and I will for sure return to her in the future. read more
