I had the best experience in the salon with Rose, I was in bad need of a hair makeover and told her to do what she thinks would look best and I am in love! I feel like I'm 10 years younger and I can't wait to get my hair done again! She warned me about parking but with her direction I was able to find a space easily. She also provided water and we had great conversations. I can't recommend Rose enough for hair! Pix of me the day after my hair was done! read more

I went in about 10 minutes ago I 80 years old I needed to use the restroom badly she said are you getting your hair done today and I said no I'm not so she sent me down about 2 1/2 blocks away to the public restroom. Now she took more time walking me out to the curb and showing me the way she could've just said oh sure come on in and use my restroom you're not homeless you're not a teenager you're not dirty so it must be an emergency, so come right on. read more

Wow, just wow. Katie was an incredible stylist. She gave me the EXACT look I was hoping for. I showed her a couple of photos and we talked through how those looks would best be accomplished with my hair and my complexion. Every step of the way, she talked me through what she was doing and even added an extra layer I wanted as a dry cut after blow dry. She gave me the best balayage and haircut I've had... possibly ever. She is definitely my new go-to. On a separate note, this review is being written during the Covid pandemic... the salon is VERY clean and safe. They close down in the middle of the day to do a deep UV light sanitation. I felt very comfortable being here. read more

Katie Shumway is a hair magician!! My previous stylist at another salon took me way too dark. I was so uncomfortable I couldn't even look in the mirror without crying. I had heard great reviews about Katie and decided to make an appointment. Wow, am I glad I did. She turn my dull brown hair into a beautiful beachy blonde locks! I can't tell you how many compliments I get! The best part is, my hair is still very healthy and shiny! I will never let anyone else touch my hair again. I highly recommend Katie Shumway for all you styling needs! Thank you Katie! read more

Such a gorgeous space located right in downtown Laguna! The staff was beyond friendly and made me feel right at home. Upon showing up, they offered me a glass of wine, which I obviously accepted (lol) and this set the tone for the appointment. Leian was my stylist and she was AMAZING. So sweet and detail oriented. She was gentle and really listened to all the issues I had with my hair. The end result was a mane that is beautifully blended and healthy. She did a wonderful job!!! read more

I got the balayage because, as Jordan put it, "it will give you the most natural finish".Turns out he was right!! The energy in this salon is so relaxing!! I love it! read more

Never in a million years would I have imagined my younger brother, JORDAN CZAYKOWSKI, to do my hair. He was the football star, track star, amazing guitar player, and is good at everything he does INCLUDING HAIR. I'm not just saying this because he is my brother, but he seriously gives me THE BEST hair cuts I have ever had. I'm VERY picky when it comes to my hair and walk out so happy every time. I was also having issues with my hair color in the past, he listened to what I wanted and nailed it! If you want someone who will listen to what you want and deliver then go see Jordan at Hudson Salon and Spa. You won't regret it. The salon is beautiful, too. Oh ya, and his scalp massages are to die for. Tell him his big sis sent you : ) read more

I moved to California from NY and was searching for a colorist. I searched online and looked at reviews. One night, we were walking through the town of Laguna Beach with our dog and stopped and chatted with another couple and their dog. I noticed the woman's hair and had to ask where she got it colored. It was so gorgeous. She told me, "Joyce at Hudson!" and gave me her number. I made an appointment immediately. I am very particular about my hair. Joyce is patient, detail-oriented and careful. She listens to what I request. I always trust her to give me natural looking highlights. My hair looks healthy and beautiful. I know that Joyce will re-do my hair over 10x until I absolutely love it. (Also, she is funny, wise and a great person to chat with-- the best of the best---highly recommended!!!!) Thank you Joyce and Hudson Salon! read more

Joyce is my new best friend! I came in with a blonde rainbow, there were so many different shades of blonde. I really just wanted to be brunette again and just start fresh so my hair can grow healthy & strong. She exceeded all of my expectations! I absolutely love my hair. She listened to what I wanted and she took the time to make it perfect. Not to mention I made a same day appointment on a Monday at 5:30pm, you can't find that anywhere. Thank you so much Joyce!! I will be referring everyone I know to her and this salon! read more

I found this salon next door to the bikram studio I used to frequent. The salon/spa is very nice. I love the look and vibe. Front desk and other employees are very nice and considerate. Ask for Lauren Nicholson. She is a super, talented stylist/colorist. I've never received so many compliments on my color and cut. I have long hair with layers and she is great about cleaning up the style without cutting length. Lauren is chic and stylish - just like you want to look. She knows what she's doing and I have continued to go back to her always satisfied! She does free bang trims too. Easy, free parking around and upstairs from the Vons. read more

So many good reviews, so I thought I'd try since I just moved a couple a blocks away. I called to book a haircut on Tuesday for Saturday at 10. They couldn't do that time so they they gave me 1pm. It wasn't convenient to my schedule but accepted because I want to support local businesses. I show up 5 minutes before my appointment time and they say the stylist is on her way. What? She didn't show up to work yet? But they offered me wine so I let it pass. I wait 15 minutes and no one shows up. The receptionist says she'll be here in 3 minutes. I'm like ok. Well, if this was booked 4 days ago and she can't show up to work on time, how do I know she'll be here in 3 minutes? So I left. Maybe this place is awesome and has an existing clientele and does great business so doesn't need more clients. Or maybe the stylist was hungover and tweaked out Or maybe they're racist and don't even offer the common courtesy of an apology. Regardless. They lost a multiple year customer. And everyone in Laguna will find out how shitty they are in the end. read more

Katie is AMAZING. I came to the Hudson Salon for the first time a couple weeks ago, at which time Katie provided me with a really beautiful balayage, which blended into my natural color beautifully and blended with finesse. I wanted a little more pop, because she happened to do such a good job at making the balayage look natural that few people were noticing the difference! I told Katie how I was feeling, and she got me scheduled immediately to come in and get the results that I wanted. I went in today and she spent her evening giving me the exact look I wanted, taking my balayage up a notch, and really playing to my skin tone and eye color. It is perfect, I love it, and she provided the second application free of charge to get me the results I was seeking. THAT is customer service that goes above and beyond, and THAT is how you land yourself a life long customer! The salon itself is gorgeous, with a beautiful view of the ocean to look towards while you wait for your color to set. Katie has an easy going, authentic, and genuine personality that makes her easy to talk to and relate with as she works her magic. She's a great hair artist and obviously a high quality human being, which makes the whole process of getting your hair done by her all the more enjoyable. I am thoroughly impressed and feel valued as a customer. I will be a regular for Katie for as long as we're both in the area! read more

Yes!! My best friend & I visited Laguna for her fortieth birthday and to celebrate I wanted for us to both have massages. After calling several {very expensive} places, I found Hudson online, along with its great reviews. Upon calling I spoke with Katrina who was both professional and UBER helpful. She suggested having the therapist come to our hotel room, which was AMAZING, and was so thoughtful to ask about the goal of the service and make suggestions based upon my reply. Our therapist, Haley, was OUTSTANDING. She was friendly, professionally and WONDERFULLY skilled. She concentrated on each area as requested or needed, giving excellent pressure & relief to our tired & sore mama-muscles. What a treat! I'm ever grateful for her and Katrina from Hudson Salon & Spa. read more

LEIAN- Don't bother going to see anyone else. I've been highlighting my hair for twenty years and she is the very first person that truly gets it. She gives the BEST cuts also. If you want someone who is not only going to listen to you, but actually do what you're asking (and better) go see Leian. She understands "ombré without looking ombré". I just adore her. She's worth the wait-- read more

Went here with a friend to have our hair styled for a wedding we were in town for. The salon was very accommodating and fit us in with no problems. We received great styles form Leah (I think?) and while I was waiting for my friend, the owner was very friendly & asked about the wedding we were attending & even gave me suggestions for great breakfast spots. She actually typed out directions to two places & gave me her cell phone in case I had trouble finding either. ABOVE & BEYOND. I thought it was great she was so kind even though she knew we were from out of town & wouldn't be "regulars" - that says A LOT!!! Highly recommended!!!!!! read more

Katie Shumway at Hudson is the best! She is great with long hair and ensures your locks are protected from damage and breakage during chemical processing! This has always been a challenge for me to find a stylist that doesn't over process my fine, blonde hair. She's great at everything she does and makes your experience a joy every time. I recommend Katie to everyone. read more

Thank you Katie S. You did the exact blonde I was asking for!!! Plus my extentions look great. I feel amazing!

Katie Shumway is THE BEST!! I brought my teenaged daughter in to the salon, and Katie was fabulous with her. And she did a exceptional job with her hair. My daughter went from long all-one-length hair to layers and bangs, and Katie could not have done a more perfect cut. My daughter has been beaming for the entire rest of the day. THANK YOU, Katie, for making my kid feel beautiful!! read more

I went to the Hudson Salon with a few girlfriends on Friday for their Happy Hour blowout special-from 3-6 on Fridays and Saturdays it's just $25. The energy was relaxing and the staff was super friendly, offering us a glass of wine the minute we walked in the door. The best blowout was by the one guy stylist there, although mine looked good as well. I recommend this charming North Laguna salon for a great way to kick off the weekend! read more

While on vacation I decided I HAD to get my hair done. Ashlee did an amazing blonde with bleach and then a super fun toner that made it a violet tone for a week or so until the sun faded it. I highly recommend giving Ashlee a try- she is so incredible, very talented, super personal, so sweet, pretty and kind. read more

All I have to say is JORDAN!! Go see him! I have really long thick hair that has been overdue for color and cut, I went and saw Jordan and not only did he perfectly match my root color but he made my hair rich and shiny, then we added balliage highlights to it. It looks and feels ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! He trimmed it then took some weight out. This is the best my hair has ever looked. If you want a great hair stylist who is really charming and have a great conversation go see him, he truly cares about his clients and gives them what they want but better!! read more

I came here today for my balayage appointment with Leah. The salon is beautiful and airy. She was fabulous! She was so gentle with my hair and she specializes in blondes!

I already booked my next appointment! read more

Hello, I discovered Hudson Salon & Spa through my hairdresser/ stylist Lauren who has been doing my hair for years now, but she just recently moved to Hudson Salon & Spa a few months ago. The Salon is located on the 2nd floor of a cute shopping center that is literally right across from the water. The entrance into the salon is tucked away and it carries a feeling of exclusivity to it. As you walk inside you are met with warm lighting and tasteful display cases with uniquely trendy jewelry (I actually ended up purchasing a pair of gold and white feather earrings, which I have to say looked great on after getting my highlights revamped!) When I walked in, I was met with friendly hellos and was offered a variety of different beverages that they had available for their guests (as well as beverages for people who are over 21 ;) At this moment I was in heaven! While enjoying my refreshment and waiting for my stylist to become available (because I arrived wayyy to early) I was entertained by the flat panel TV mounted in the "lounge area" at this point, I really didn't care how long I had to wait- I was having a good time! When it came to the time where my stylist was available, I felt pretty relaxed and was even more excited that I pretty much had a full view of the beautiful ocean across the street. I was made aware that Hudson is pretty much a full service spa! This place seems like a great place to take the girls to and have a fun relaxing time. You can take advantage of the facials, body massages, hair salon, nail salon and also the mystic tanning! Hope you enjoy! Angie read more

Attention everyone! Let me tell you about Tina Mai the exceptional colorist and extensions specialist. The most detailed stylist I have ever met. Tina has been doing my hair for about a year and not only changed it for the better, but I am starting to see hair growth, which was non existent before. She simply does a great job and makes sure your hair stays healthy and looking great. Add extensions to the mix and she creates absolute perfection! read more

Ashlee is a lovely and knowledgeable professional. This was my first time there and she is an obvious expert with color and hair texture. As my young son observed, "She did a really great job brushing your hair (before coloring) and whenever something was wrong (as in, coloring the grays) she fixed it, and she's a really interesting person (very patient and a lively conversationalist). I highly recommend. read more

The new salon on Forest Ave is gorgeous and now so am I! Thanks to Dana. I took a picture of me with a haircut that I had gotten when I was 13 years old. Neela and I both went and got our haircut and I loved it. Dana did not laugh at me but listened and gave me exactly the cut I needed. I highly recommend Dana and drop my name if you want! read more
