    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    After my usual stylist moved to LA, I took a chance on trusting yelp reviews to find my next stylist. Joyce gave me a great cut and livened up my trademark look. She gave me exactly what I wanted after chatting about the look I want. My hair looks healthier and I've gotten compliments at work already. Thanks Joyce!

    Lashes by Leian!!! She's the best!

    I got my lashes done by Leian and I have to say she is the best!! I've had my lashes done before many times, but I will always stay with her. My lashes are naturally long and thick but very light in color, she gave me the perfect amount of length and volume while keeping my lashes natural looking. I am OBSSESED!!!!

    Yep... It's a lot but not as much as it was two months ago

    I've only had four hairstylist in my entire life and I can honestly say that Dana is one of the best... Dana is not only a wonderful person but also a fantastic color specialist. And God knows you have to be a color specialist to do my hair.

    Ashlee took me from super blonde to a subtle ombre. Not the best lighting but it looks great!!!

    This review is for expert hair stylist Marina Romero…read more I have seen her twice a week going on more than 2 years now. We were so fortunate to have found her after we moved from Manhattan Beach to make the OC our home. Marina (from the US, and she has has an Italian heritage) is incredibly professional and extremely warm, a calming presence, fun to talk to, educated, well-traveled, keeps up on trends, she is so kind, and Marina is SO good and excels in all areas with different types of hair. She can get along and be professional with people from all walks of life and individuals with different personalities - so very professional in that regard. (I found Marina when my hair color needed to be corrected in the worst way, I tried 4 people before miraculously finding her!). Marina has now also been an OC girl as she has lived by the coast for many years now. Her skills and her demeanor are wonderful (she is a joy to chat with) and her expertise as a hairstylist is beyond excellent - I am talking about her ability to complete: hair dye/color (they do this at this salon!!!), men's hair cuts, extensions, full MAKE-UP, children's hair cuts, up-do's and blow-outs (hers stay clean and hold - and I have had blowouts on a weekly basis for the past decade, Marina's are the best by far!!). The salon is clean and neat. The stylists and staff have comraderie and are all sweet, courteous, and professional.. My husband is of Irish/English heritage, Marina does his hair cuts and it just looks amazing and the haircut is always completely even as well. Marina is like a superwoman when it comes to hair and makeup. She - without a doubt - has a gift for this field. Also, one of the things that I love most is that Marina books clients in a way to add time, so she is never rushing, she builds in time for anyone running late. Our family and my husband's job is so scheduled, to put it mildly, Marina has not forgotten or been late for an appointment in over 2 years. We do not know what our family would do without Marina! We like to come earlier (like 9am to noon, living by the beach we always tend to go early before crowds or late to avoid crowds that may come in) there is a big parking lot right by the salon. My kinder daughter absolutely adores Marina as well. Thank you Marina!

Maggie was my stylist and it was a very pleasant and quality service. Had a very thorough and nice shampoo and scalp massage plus condition, and I don't even remember her combing out my often very tangly hair. She listened to my goals and hopes for my hair going forward. She gave me a nice shaping cut and a lovely blowout and I will be back! My hair looks and feels good. I have an idea what I would like to accomplish at the next visit. Thank you so much!

You will only find the best products here. Most are organic with high quality ingredients. And you can try almost everything first right there before buying. Whether you need makeup, brushes, shampoo, soap, nail polish, SPF, or moisturizers, this is the place! Oh and there is a free parking lot for the store. You can access it off of Ocean Ave, which is a one way that starts at Forest Ave. The first available entrance on the left is their parking lot. An attendant will ask you where you're going to make sure you're in the right place. All you have to do is mention the name of the store, and you're in for as long as you need. You will just need to show your receipt when you go back to your car.

They refused to take it back, saying the manufacturer didn't give them a return. I went in there to support my local business, but when it came to me getting support upon returning the item they wanted to sell me another product or brush that may help the coverage. I told the sales girl that I used the same brush I used for my Bare Mineral powder so it was not the problem and I wasn't willing to take the loss of this product to buy one that "may" work better with no return on it either if it didn't work better. I decided to check on Amazon to see if they carried the brand and what their return policy was, and they said right on their page that returns were fine. And on top of that, the same item was $8 cheaper on Amazon!! So much for supporting local businesses that don't believe that support goes both ways!

When I sent you a text the next day asking for a response- you said no refund - you don't get to slander me and get your money back too. I most certainly did not slander you in any way - I simply told the truth of my experience. First of all you were the one who made the offer of refunding $ 210 out of the $ 395 total I payed to you. I'd be happy to post my receipt (s) to back up my claim of what you charged me. Secondly when you asked me if I wanted low lights I clearly stated no I wanted to go blonder for the summer. The second time I went to you - to have you fix all the low lights and toner in my hair that made it more brown then blonde- you turned my hair a brassy yellow orange. I did recently go to another salon where I got the perfect blonde color with not one excuse as to why that shade could not be achieved and the perfect shag cut which I told you I wanted and you said you could not do with my texture. The first photo is after I went to another salon and had then fix what you did. The second photo is my hair after you colored it- a lovely shade of orange!

However, there were some downsides to the overall experience, especially given the premium price and the fact that I booked her for two looks and all-day touch-ups. Roya arrived to my bridal suite wearing a "MIGA" ("Make Iran Great Again") hat, a slogan modeled after Trump's MAGA movement and associated with political rhetoric about Iran. Regardless of personal beliefs or current events, wearing anything political as a wedding vendor is very unprofessional, especially when there is a chance of you being in bridal suite photos. Thankfully, my mom and maid of honor asked her to remove it before we headed to the venue because i didn't want my guests to misinterpret her hat, but the situation stressed me out on what was supposed to be a peaceful and relaxing morning . And the hat appeared in my wedding photos/video and I had to ask my videographer and photographer to make edits. She also ran about 30 minutes late to my trial and arrived 40 minutes late on my wedding day past my requested start time. I anticipated that she might be late based on reviews and prior experience and adjusted my timeline accordingly, but that is not something a bride should ever have to plan for, especially at this premium price point. Lastly, she left right as my reception began, despite me paying for touch-ups throughout the wedding. At the time I was fine with it, but by the time I cut my cake and after dancing, my bangs looked sweaty and no longer appeared polished. I am not sure if this is typical, but I wanted to share my experience.
