    Madelyn was great. She listened to what my concerns were and what I wanted. She's super fast too!

    Add a little bit of madalyn spice

    10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!! She took my hair from blorange (blond orange) to this beautiful creamy hair. Her personality and character shines through during your appointment. She makes you feel comfortable and provides an amazing experience.

    Madelyn was absolutely amazing from day one. She was patient during my hair trial and listened to exactly what I wanted in my wedding day. Not only was she amazing with me but she was SO kind and patient with my mom day of. My mom isn't used to getting dolled up and it can be a bit uncomfortable for her. She also has extremely curly hair which not a lot of stylists know how to work with... but Madelyn did! She talked with my mom like she was the only one in the room... making her feel comfortable and taken care of. More than anything that morning, that calmed my nerves. My mom looked gorgeous and I felt like an absolute queen that day. No one could have come close to the work Madelyn did. Forever grateful.

    Thanks to Madelyn my hair is REVIVED! It was platinum blorange with pieces breaking off literally every day. Very tragic. I pm'ed Madelyn and she got me in the next day. She is AMAZING!

    This is a "cave" of wonders! I came to Madelyn wanting to add blonde to my hair while keeping a natural look and WOW she did that! My hair not only looked gorgeous but was still so healthy after. Did I mention she dyed, washed, and straightened it in under two hours while doing a killer job. I'm blown away! Never did I expect to love my hair so much and receive such amazing service. I had heard of Madelyn through a friend as a recommendation for a wedding hair stylist, which she also is amazing at. A braid specialist, her styles are that out of a brides dream. Madelyn was not only professional but so kind to me. Her salon is adorable! The cave is decorated like something from your favorite western film. A beauty shop twist on a cowgirls dream, the cave is a place of hair magic and southern glam. I highly recommend seeking out Madelyn If you're looking for a great stylist who's passion truly shows through her incredible work. A million thank yous!! I love my hair!!

    Hair Extensions for wedding day

    I knew I wanted someone trained in beaded row wefts (hand tied extensions) for my wedding so I did my thorough research and found Madelyn. Let me just drop some truth for anyone searching for your perfect wedding hair stylist or extension when I say she is TOP NOTCH!! She has excellent skills, charming demeanor and is an international consultant for hair styling. She is open to suggestions but also honest in what your hair type can actually achieve. Trust the professionals guys!! She did such an incredible job on my extensions and my wedding hair that I ended up staying with her for my continued extensions and highlights a full year later. I have even changed my hair color a few times and she continues to blow my mind with the outcome. She has even saved my hair on a few occasions from poor self care (lol) and I am so grateful for her constant attention to detail. Not many people out there have you as their #1 focus at each and every appointment. Madelyn is your sole client during that time, she doesn't pawn you off to some assistant. She provides 5 star results and gives 5 star customer care.

    Madelyn is amazing! I am so happy I came across her profile when looking for someone to do my hair for my wedding. I came in for a trial and just knew I needed to book her ASAP! She made me feel so comfortable. I loved how honest, passionate, funny, and talented she was. I also loved how dedicated she was to making sure I was happy with the end result. After my wedding, I decided to come to her on a regular basis for my cuts and color. It's been a year now since I first went in for my wedding trial and I couldn't be happier! Not only can she do great hair but she is also a good time! She always has me laughing!

    Madelyn was an absolute genius. Let me start by saying I have A LOT of hair, down to my behind. It was my best friends wedding and it was going to be a hot weekend in Temecula. I was so torn, I wanted an updo because it was so hot but I was terrified that because of how heavy my hair is.. that it would have fallen out mid reception. Then I thought maybe down, but again, I have so much hair I would have looked like cousin it on the dance floor. I opted for the most insane bohemian side braid pony I could find on Pinterest, in hopes that whatever she delivered would be somewhat close to the photo I showed her. (I have heard she is a braid queen!!!) so it had to be a sure thing. The second I sat in her chair and showed her the photo.. she was just as pumped as I was. What a relief. She did put her own twist on it.. she was real honest about an actual braid and how much hair I have - that it wouldn't survive if I was getting wild on the dance floor lol so she did some sort of magic and it looked EVEN BETTER than the pinterest magic I showed her! How?! I LOVED my hair, everyone in the bridal party loved my hair, and I received a flood of compliments on it all evening. The best part?! I danced like no one was watching all night, literally. Danced. So. Hard. I woke up in the morning to find my big bohemian - better than pinterest - braid still TOTALLY in tact. Hair voodoo! She was great.

    Loved my bridal hairstyle Madelyn did
    Melissa H.

    Madelyn did a wonderful job for my June wedding in Temecula. Everyone's hair lasted all night even though it was quite hot and sweaty that day. She made sure everyone was happy with their hairstyle and made sure to make any adjustments if needed. We even finished ahead of schedule, and she did 9 girls hair plus two little flower girls.

    Madelyn is amazing! I have been going to her for my hair appointments for the past 6 years. I drive an hour just to see this girl & at the end of my hair trip it is always worth it! The minute I sit in the chair it's girl talk non stop. She has educated me so much about my hair type and always goes into detail about what my hair will look like if I do certain things to it or if I use certain products and because of all that she is the only one I trust with my hair.

    Madelyn REALLY killed it on my wedding day. She was so efficient and SO sweet. She gave every girl exactly what they wanted, even when some of them changed their minds after she was done! She did exactly what I asked for and it held up ALL night, even in the crazy temecula heat. I couldn't have asked for a better hair stylist. I'll update with photos once they come in from my photographer! Thanks Madelyn!!!! **i also used Tawnie for my makeup, who Madelyn often works with. Also amazing.

    Kristin S.

    Madelyn did my hair for my wedding and she was amazing!! She was on time the morning of my wedding and she was super efficient getting 6 girls hair done in 4 hours. She did an AMAZING job on all of us and she is so fun! Definitely recommend her and her partner Tawnie that does makeup.

    W A R N I N G Do NOT go here for Habit hand tied extensions!!! I was robbed! Madelyn did a HORRIBLE job! I went in here after following on Instagram the real Habit Hair salon Instagram and one of the main hairstylists there talking about Madelyn and how she lived in Temecula which is local for me opposed to me driving to Arizona to the real Habit salon to get my hair done. ((Which I regret not going there now)) I saw she was local so went in for a consultation told her what I wanted and showed her real photos of what I wanted. I wanted that super thick can barely put your hand around luxurious hair that I had always dreamed of. She assured me she could do it. So I threw down over $1500 to make my dream hair come to life. When she was done it wasn't the color at all I had wanted it didn't have any dimension like I asked for - it was SO THIN and the hair extension quality felt like cheap Barbie hair! I have had extensions in my hair for 10+ years so I know my stuff and what quality should look and feel like. The extensions were THINNER than my REAL hair - it didn't blend At ALL! She told me that after a few washes my hair color would lighten and basically all the highlights and dimension that i had gone in their asking for - would magically appear after I washed my hair ya - NO! It doesn't work like that it didn't happen. I messaged her asking her to add in some color and to let her know how thin and horrible the extensions were. She didn't care at all and said sorry no refunds. WOW! Horrible customer service! Never in my life have I ever paid that much for hair extensions, and so I was thinking the quality and work would be the most amazing I had ever had, right!!?? NOPE! The worst! I was robbed by her. My head was throbbing and pounding I could hear my heartbeat in my head Bc the little metal bracket thing she put in my head to hold the wefts were SO tight! I had to go to my normal hairdresser 3 days later to REMOVE them ALL- I now have 4 bald spots on my head where those metal clasps were! They were only in my head for 3 days! I can't imagine how much worse it would have been had they stayed in longer! She was not willing to help me out in anyway with the color OR adding in more hair to my super THIN extensions they looked horrible! She told me the only thing she would do was help me STYLE my hair to make it APPEAR thicker ummmm no I don't want it to appear thicker I want it to BE thicker like what I paid you for!!!! I am so disgusted that someone could conduct business like this it truly makes me sick! Do not ever go here!

    I can't say enough good things about Charlene and Launa!…read more I was attending a wedding at a Temecula winery and wanted to be done up for the occasion. Charlene handled my hair and Launa did my makeup, and together they nailed it. Charlene guided me on adding curl but not too much volume. I was very happy with the result. Launa's makeup was equally awesome. She made me feel put together without my makeup being heavy or overdone. It held up beautifully through a long evening and I received a lot of compliments. Both ladies were professional, warm, attentive, and invested in making sure I loved the final result. They listened to what I wanted and delivered just that. I left feeling confident, beautiful, and ready for a gorgeous wedding. I would absolutely book Charlene and Launa again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup artists who are talented, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you both for helping make the weekend so special!

Jessica did an amazing job on her hair and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. She was friendly, fun to talk to, and made conversation feel easy and natural, which helped create such a relaxed atmosphere. She really listened to what was wanted and paid attention to every detail. The braided style blended perfectly into the curls and ponytail, and the final look was beautiful, elegant, and photographed so well. She left there with a big smile and said she felt so pretty! Her makeup turned out gorgeous, unfortunately I do not remember the lady's name, but she was terrific. My son's gf had picked out a look she wanted, the makeup artist did mention that the look would be dark and they could start light and go darker if needed. She was absolutely amazing with makeup and truly a wizard with the brushes. Her blending skills were incredible, and she really knew how to enhance features without making the makeup feel heavy or overdone. The final look was soft and natural, while still giving that glamorous polished finish perfect for a special event. She created such a beautiful balance between elegant and effortless. Everything stayed comfortable and secure throughout the event. The makeup lasted and did not smudge or smear off. I would absolutely recommend Jessica and the makeup artist to anyone looking for hair styling services and makeup for an event. We would definitely come back to here again!

The salon is nestled between other shops with lots of private parking designated for the businesses. The shop is very spacious and is well maintained! Staff are always cleaning up as they go. You can tell the climate of a salon by the conversations they choose to have and I immediately picked up on a fun and creative vibe as I hear different discussions of how they worked with this or what they changed to visualize a different view or re-living a memory they all shared that brought laughter to everyone within ear shot range! It was apparent, the staff collaborated so well together! Emily brought me to the wash for prep. She was quick to assess my personal style and needs, and worked with me. She provided tips moving forward to improve the look of my hair and shared her vision of how my hair will complement the shape of my face. We also discussed hair color and highlights and if I would return, she shared her ideas she had to blend in with the color I already have. Doing business with Emily made my experience a pleasant one. She fueled my visit with purpose and that exemplifies the value of her work by understanding my personal style and visualizing how she can enhance and improve the look! I was pleased with her service and look forward to visiting again for color treatment! If you're in the area and are looking for a regular salon, I highly recommend this salon for all your hair care needs! Thank you, Emily!!

    I needed to find a new hair stylist who understands Asian hair (If you're Asian, you completely…read moreunderstand what I mean). I was lucky enough find a stylist who works with Asian hair and is much closer to my home than having to get my monthly haircuts in Little Saigon for many years. I made an appointment via text with Stephanie, the owner of Hair Plus. It's so convenient having to just travel to Murrieta to a strip mall where the parking is plentiful and stress-free. I met Stephanie a few weeks ago for my first haircut with her. Becasue I was so use to my previous hair stylist knowing how to cut my hair, I've forgotten to remember the clipper numbers she used etc. I knew I was in good hands with Stephanie when she told me she knew what type of style it was and how short. She also asked for my input when she was cutting my hair as far as the shortness on the sides. In all honesty, she really did a better job than my previous hairstylist of eight years! Her many years of being a hair stylist in South Korea and in Orange County shows in her meticulous cutting and shaping of my haircut. I was very pleased with the results as was my wife. I am so happy that Stephanie can continue to cut my hair, and hopefully soon, our youngest son as well.
