I saw Lauren on Saturday, and unfortunately a few things happened that were pretty off-putting…read more First, the price listed on the website was significantly lower than the price I was given by text only 24 hours before my appointment, at which point I could no longer cancel without being penalized. Second, she accidentally burned my face with the flat iron. I said "ouch" when it happened, but she didn't acknowledge it or apologize, which made the situation more uncomfortable. Lastly, she was about 10 minutes behind schedule. Other than those issues, Lauren was nice and I genuinely enjoyed talking with her. I just wish these things had been handled differently, as they took away from an otherwise pleasant experience.

He's prompt, professional, polite and courteous, and it's no wonder he's booked up 2 weeks in advance --he's simply that good. What impressed me most was his foresight: he thoughtfully looks at your facial structure--your forehead, jawline, the length of your hair you're considering, and the look you want to achieve. Nick can give you an image. On top of that, he's kind, open-minded, compassionate, and a great listener. He's also incredibly creative--I've never had such a haircut this great. Thank you, Nick. You can't fake fabulous! Ron

I've been to Pleasure Head (PH) four times now and had amazing experiences with Jennifer (who I…read morebelieve no longer works there, but you can see a photo from my last review!) and Shawna. They were incredibly personable and made sure to check in with me throughout every step of the haircut process. They both delivered amazing results. Jennifer gave me a super edgy look and Shawna later gave me the blunt cut of my dreams, hence why I had kept returning. Now, there's A. I first went to her when my edgy look had grown out and wanted to get it refreshed. Everything was going pretty well, until the point where she accidentally used the wrong scissors and chopped off a section of my bangs. It was hard to recover from that but accidents happen and she expressed deep remorse and tried her best to fix it. It wasn't the best, haha, but it eventually grew out after several months, and I didn't want this experience to deter me from returning to my fave salon. :) Then, I went to A for a chocolatey brown balayage. We had a consultation beforehand. My hair is virgin and very dark so what I was looking for was a very subtle change to add dimensionality to my hair since I had just gotten a blunt cut by Shawna. But... what I got was not what I asked for. I have gotten balayages before and one key component is teasing the hair before applying bleach. Yes, it was being teased, but by the tiniest amount. This led to pretty much my hair being bleached solidly rather with the quintessential natural blending of the highlights which define a balayage. On top of that, the bleach application was all over the place. In some sections, it was applied so close to my roots. In others it was 3 inches away. And A decided to give me money pieces because she thought they would look cute. When I noticed the heavy bleaching, and pointed it out, she mentioned that it would become darker with the toner. I was anxious, but I wanted to trust the process. When the hair was finally done, I was devastated. It was patchy, brassy, and bleached in such a way that doesn't even come close to the definition of a balayage. I told A that I would need some time to get used to it. After several days of staring at my hair in the mirror, I reached out to A. She agreed that it wasn't at all like the inspo pics and she was willing to redo it for me. At that point, though, I was too anxious to go through another round with PH, especially after my previous experience. So, I made the decision to reach out to a hairstylist in Santa Cruz that is known for his balayages and I sent the pictures of my hair and he immediately took me in (thankfully!!) bc the hair had truly destroyed my self-esteem. After the botched hair, I literally canceled all my plans for the next week because I didn't want anyone to see me like that. He called it a hair emergency, haha. Well, that appointment went wonderfully, and he was able to color-correct the hair and achieve the results I wanted from the start. One major pro about A is that she does a great job at maintaining the health of the hair during her work. It was actually really cool and impressive to see that when she was taking off the foils after the bleaching process, little to no hair came off with it. Even though she brought my natural hair color from one of the darkest shades to such a light color. That is definitely one of her incredible strengths!! I let A know I went with another stylist and canceled my redo appointment. I also asked for a refund, considering the results were so far from what we discussed. She was completely respectful and remorseful and mentioned that she wished she had an opportunity to fix it herself. She reached out to her manager to ask about the refund, and the request was denied bc I went to another stylist and didn't let her redo it. I am not sure if that's a common policy, but I felt saddened that accountability by the salon wasn't taken in that regard. You wouldn't hire the same plumber again if their work caused your pipes to burst in the first place. Twice. Honestly, I am deeply saddened by this and it pains me to even write this review because all of my other experiences at PH have been SO positive before this. I don't think I will be visiting again, unfortunately. That being said, A is an amazing person (her hair is also SO cute!!! which already is a testament to her skills; also, she does a great job at matching the vibe, and I /STRONGLY/ believe that these were rare occurrences, especially considering all of her previous positive reviews. You can check out her work on her instagram page. Lots of people have had amazing results from her, especially with haircuts. So please don't let that deter you from hiring her. But maybe not for balayages, LOL.

I called her and she wanted me to come right down but I had NO extra time! I quickly put on a Frosting cap and lightened it in sections. Some parts are brassy so I washed it with purple shampoo to soften it. I used to frost for years. I paid Vanessa $174 including tip. Because "I" touched it she would not help me! If she put in the wrong combination she should stand up to it!

I have never written a review yet, but my experience with Donna was so upsetting I feel the need…read moreto. I came in with hair that was past the bottom of my breasts, asking for a trim. She showed me how much hair she wanted to cut off using a mirror looking into a mirror. I always use my breasts to measure how long my hair is, so I then brought my hair to my front to measure how long it would be once she removed as much as she said she would. I saw that it would come directly to my nipples. This was already more than I wanted cut, but decided my hair probably needed it. I've been trying to grow it longer than the bottom of my breasts for many years. She cut my hair, and when she started drying it my heart began to sink as it was hard to see with most of my hair at my back, but it looked WAY shorter than I intended. I mentioned that I thought it looked sorted than I'd wanted, she brought it all around to the front and I was devastated!!! It was 6 inches shorter than when I arrived... So much for a trim, I received a serious chop, against my wishes. I was so upset that at the time all I noticed was how it was way shorter than I've had it in years, I didn't notice that both sides are also completely uneven too. She really was kind of haphazard about the cut. What made it so much worse, was that she got totally defensive immediately, denying how much she'd cut... Like as if I don't know the length of my own hair. I constantly measured my hair against my breasts, I'm super aware of how long it was. I was clearly very upset! And to add insult to injury, before I'd even left, when I was totally incredulous that she was vehemently denying that I knew how much she'd cut off my hair, she accused me of trying to get out of paying. Wow!! I actually had over $500 just in my pocket that day, money is certainly not an issue for me. I don't understand why she couldn't just say sorry. I was so upset I left crying. Do not trust Donna!
