Drybar is re-opening in Encinitas! At the Encinitas Oktoberfest event, I saw the Drybar booth and…read morereceived a complimentary blowout. I had only ever seen Drybar on social media, so I was excited to go! Drybar is located in Encinitas Village between Athleta and Revive Med Spa with tons of parking. They welcome you in and offer complimentary coffee, water, or champagne/mimosa. Fun! There's also guest wifi. As I was there for a complimentary service, I let my stylist Kristi pick what style she was going to do and she chose the Cosmo-Tai. She did a wash and then styled my hair- it took about 1.5 hours (I have long thick hair) and it turned out beautifully! My hair also smelled amazing. I would definitely consider coming to Drybar for an event- it's $59 for a one time blowout, but if I lived closer/had more events in my life the Membership seems like a good idea- $49 a month for a blowout or $95 a month for two blowouts.

WORST Service from Manager/Receptionist. Rude,…read moreunprofessional and plain mean. As a previous review states I was also charged 3x for an appt. I was also a Barfly. I called 5x leaving messages about the extra charges and sent a message through the website. Zero return call. I had to drive to the location to speak in person. I was a weekly regular and 15 mins late to last appt. Manager rudely reprimanded me telling me she could charge me for the service since I was 15 mins late. She pointed out 10 mins is OK but not 15. I reminded her my last appt they were 1 hour late and often 15-20 mins late regularly and I don't mind or complain. I brought up the 3x chg for last appt. Her response was "Did we charge you 3x bc you were late?" Argumentative from the moment I walked in. I was shocked as was my friend. I said NO! You all were late. She proceeded to argue about the charge and said I should thank "Jesus" she didn't charge me for being 15 mins late. It was like arguing with a low class family member that felt entitled to talk down to me. She then claimed victim status since I was addressing her extreme rudeness. Someone needs to send this lady to customer service training. Alternatively, My stylist was great and felt terrible for me. She told me not to let Carrie's behavior ruin my day and that they needed me at the salon. I'm there very frequently so lots of business to lose. I purchased a package so contacted Del Mar to see if I could use them at their location. Del Mar told me they get complaints about Carrie and that location as well. Owner Caroline should find a nicer option. At one point I considered Carrie friendly but her trashy behavior shows her true colors. I would sort of get it if I didn't pay on time or tip. I tip 20% each time and purchase many on demand each week. I feel bad for anyone that has to work with this mean person.

I took a chance and I'm so happy I did!! I had the best experience with Kaley. She is so nice and talented! I did a blowout with her and it was gorgeous.

Definitely book your next blowout here and shoutout to Kaley!

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Tori! She is truly so talented at what she does…read more I have trusted her with both sew-in and tape-in extensions, and I have been absolutely thrilled with the results every single time. I see her every 4 weeks for base color and extension maintenance. Tori is incredibly meticulous and takes her time to make sure everything is done perfectly, from the placement and blending to making sure that my extensions look natural, feel comfortable, and work with my very fine hair. She never rushes through an appointment, and you can tell how much pride she takes in her work and how much she genuinely cares about making sure her clients leave happy. My hair always looks full and natural, and I constantly get compliments on it. One of the things I appreciate the most is that she is cares about the health of my natural hair while still giving me the look I want. It is so hard to find someone that you completely trust with your hair, especially when it comes to extensions, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found that in her. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for color, cut, extensions or simply someone they can trust to make their hair look amazing. She is truly the best!

I recently had her do my tape in extensions as well, and I am completely in love with them. They blend perfectly and feel amazing. On top of her incredible talent, Tori is so personable and makes every appointment feel fun and relaxing. She truly listens to what you want and somehow makes your hair look even better than you imagined every single time. I always leave her chair feeling beautiful and excited about my hair. I can't recommend her enough!

This is my first ever review!…read more I recently moved to the area and found Parlour on Google. At 7 weeks postpartum, I wanted a hair refresh and my cut was amazing by Sabrina. A few months later, my baby started grabbing my long hair, so I tried cutting it myself--disaster! I came in again 3 months PP for a cut with Sabrina, but I wasn't happy with it. I had to rush home and couldn't explain what felt off, so I called the same day to schedule adjustments. Two days later, I came in thinking she was just going to cut my hair dry buSabrina gave me a full service (wash, cut, blow dry, style) and nailed the look I wanted. She even waived the cost for the redo! I was shocked and grateful--being 3 months postpartum, I didn't feel my best, and I left the salon loving my hair. Sabrina is the sweetest, most understanding stylist, and I felt completely comfortable giving honest feedback. 10/10 recommend!

I've been going to the Station Salon for six years. In that time I've had many different stylists…read more They've all been exceptional. But this last time I had an issue with my extensions and was honestly worried about the health of my hair. I contacted the salon. Dana, the salon owner, immediately stepped in and took care of me. Not only did she redo my extensions beautifully, but she also colored and trimmed my hair! She made sure I was happy with the results, and my hair looks and feels amazing. I would absolutely recommend the Station Salon, the owner, and her team. They handled an uncomfortable situation with professionalism, kindness, and integrity. They did the right thing to make sure I felt heard, cared for, and satisfied. What impressed me most was how she took so much out of her day, with no advanced notice, to make me leave happy and confident. She went above and beyond to make things right, and that level of professionalism and customer care is hard to come by. The entire experience turned so positive because of her kindness, skill, and integrity. I'm both grateful and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this salon to anyone looking for someone who stands behind their work and values their clients.

Bri goes above and beyond to create the perfect ambiance for a truly relaxing experience. She dims the lights, incorporates scented candles, plays a calming playlist, provides a cozy blanket, and adjusts the chair to make sure you're in the most comfortable and relaxing position possible. Her head massage techniques were phenomenal! Between the different combs, massage tools, and techniques she uses, I was able to completely immerse myself in the experience and genuinely felt like I was able to unwind. The hand and arm massage at the end was also such a thoughtful finishing touch! The haircut portion was just as amazing. Bri takes the time to educate you on the maintenance required for different haircuts and helps recommend styles that complement your specific face shape. I really appreciated how knowledgeable and attentive she was throughout the entire process. Plus, you get to enjoy a nice, warm cup of coffee while she works her magic! Beyond her incredible skills, Bri is so personable, welcoming, and easy to talk to. She truly creates an experience rather than just providing a service, and you can tell she genuinely cares about making her clients feel comfortable and confident. If you're considering booking with her, BOOK WITH BRI ASAP! You will not regret it. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment!
