RESCUE ME!!! when I first met her she was very professional and polite. During our consultation session she brought to the table everything she could do for my hair and what can I expect from her as my stylist. She answered all my questions and my main question was about time management, because my last stylist always had me in the shop all day and don't nobody have time for that. She told me that she understood and that she don't double book so when I schedule my appointment I was in and out. love that! She have done braids, weaves, conditioning, and color to my hair and every style was on point. I'm glad I have found her. I have been going to Toni for my hair since July of 2014.
I had Toni service my curly hair I spent over two months growing out. The only way I knew how to make it bone straight was to relax it and I also wanted it platinum blonde. Toni agreed to do both within three weeks of each other. I asked her more than once if the relaxer would make it bone straight and she replied yes each time. A week after the relaxer I washed it and it wasn't bone straight like she said it'd be. It had an unexpected curl to it. I respectfully brought this concern and question to her via email honestly thinking I would come to a better understanding and resolution to my hair goals. She replied back explaining things to me regarding the relaxer service & process of going blonde that she failed to tell me during my initial consultation. Had she done so I would've obviously understood why my hair still had a curl to it and not questioned her about it. Instead, she decided not to do business with me ever again which I feel was out of spite due to her feeling slightly offended. She met me with the classic "I wish you the best of luck..." I've attached the factual email exchange between Toni & I and also proof that I was a client of hers & I did pay her for relaxing my hair so Yelp knows I'm genuine, legit, and voicing a real concern I had regarding my experience with this business owner/hairstylist.
I have been coming to this salon for a few years now and I absolutely love everything about it. Lately I have been coming for braids and Sana is simply amazing! She is not only professional and friendly but honest! I love coming in to sit in her chair. I've done two rounds of individual braids and now I have a unique cornrow style. She is truly passionate about her brand and her skills show it! If you don't listen to anything else I say go to this salon and get you some braids or go sit in Toni's chair and get that hair slayed. Either way your life will be changed!!!!
So I've been going to Toni for over a year now.... I always get a sew in weave with a little leave out. First few times were great she would get me in right away. She would always compliment how she loved doing my hair because it was easy and quick to do my hair and that I wasn't high maintenance. She would do my weave within 1.5 hours, sometimes 2 because she had other clients. I even referred my coworker there.... So the last time I went to her she didn't really greet me, I was 6 months pregnant at the time and she had me waiting for 2 hours!!!! She never really said anything, didn't say sorry she could have even called me to tell me she was running behind and I could have come in later. I'm sorry but that's not respecting my time. Then she tries to rush me out of the chair to make a work out class, after I had to cancel a business appointment because she made me wait forever. So I made my appointment that day so I could leave for a vacation the next day, the next day after my hair was done, a track came loose and it was hanging. I text her and just wanted her to fix it, it's a quick fix and she wasn't sorry, was rude and was not willing to work around the time I could make it. It literally takes 5 minutes to fix. It's ok the track came loose mistakes happen but it was like pulling teeth for her to be able to fix it. I like how she does my hair like I said it's quick and she knows what to do.... so I made an appointment again and I had it scheduled for the perfect time because I had a maternity shoot. She was going on vacation and sent out an email to all of her clients. So I scheduled my appointment before she left for vacation. The website said for a sew in weave with minimal leave out $150, which I always paid. I called her the day before the appointment to confirm, she's going to tell me I've been meaning to call you but I'm going to have to start charging you $275!!!! That's a $125 increase.... ok your prices went up a lot, but you couldn't have been professional enough to call or send a text that the prices went up even though your website says $150. It's clear for some reason she didn't want me as a client anymore which I don't understand but don't play with someone's time and emotions. I have no clue why her attitude flipped towards me, but how can you treat someone like that? A paying customer, I am so offended and I had a maternity shoot. She knew what she was doing she didn't respect me as a client and I highly doubt her prices went up that high. We would laugh and talk about stuff, so I thought we were cool.... but like I said her attitude changed the last 2 times.
After multiple disappointing experiences from a hair stylist (not from Toni's business) on the day of my wedding, Toni was called out at the very last minute to save me from walking down aisle looking like a hot mess. Planning a destination wedding from Melbourne Australia has a lot of challenges and the people i hired were not who they said they were and definitely didn't deliver quality service. Tony , on the other hand was the best stylist I have ever come across. Tony was committed to make me look and feel beautiful on the most special day of my life. If I could rate Toni 10 stars I would! I appreciate Toni for her talent and her service. Thank you for everything Toni!
Toni is such an amazing stylist. We've done a lot of fun things with my hair including fun colors, beautiful beachy blondes and cute long layers. No matter what we decide to do to my hair she is always honest on what the outcome will be and above all wants to keep it healthy! I've never had a stylist as talented as Toni and she's not only great with hair but she's also a great person that makes you feel welcome and at home. I'd recommend her to anyone!
You will not be disappointed after leaving here the whole experience was great. Toni is very knowledgeable with every hair type and she made me feel very at ease I was a bit nervous with getting my hair colored for the first time and a little cut. I came in with a vision of how I want my hair to look and she told me how to get to that goal and still keep my hair healthy. She exceeded my expectations I walked out feeling like a brand new woman I can't wait to go back !
There comes a time when you finally meet your match & fall in love with your stylist... Lol Toni is truly gifted, she specializes in a variety of hair textures & techniques. I've been hopping around for the last few years trying to find someone who knew how to treat mixed wavy/curly hair. It was to the point I had to see one lady to color, a different one to cut & another one for extensions, along with having to buy my own hair. So happy the hunt is over & I can honestly stand by her work! Toni does it ALL... I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair until I met her. Every single time I leave my appointment I'm beyond satisfied. Her time management is incomparable. Not only does she get me in and out, my hair feels amazing & sexy! I live in Los Angeles & make the trip. Once you trust your stylist you become confident in the quality of your hair care. It's not everyday you can guarantee greatness... Thanks Toni, Bless You
Toni is absolutely amazing. I love a good hair cut, but I also love good customer service. Toni succeeds in both areas. I've been going to her for over a year now with at least 1 hair cut a month. You'd think that by now I'd be used to her way of cutting my hair, but she still wows me every single time. It puts a smile on my face every time I get a hair cut from Toni because she does such a great job. I've gotten compliments on my hair before, but not the way I've been receiving them ever since going with Toni, and I love that! She knows what she's doing, so don't hesitate to give her a chance if you haven't already :)
I am very funny about my hair and my stylists. I have searched high and low for a decent stylist in the San Diego area l, until I found Toni. She exceeded my high expectations of what a stylist should be. I love her affordable prices, timeliness and professionalism. I love her work so much I visit her chair twice a week! I highly recommend this salon to anyone struggling in the area to find a great stylist that truly appreciates the art of hair care.
I absolutely love this salon it's always a chill/professional vibe Toni is the absolute best at what she does with those hair growing hands lol she has really helped my natural hair become healthier .. However this time when I went the stylist crystal did my extensions install, and I must say she did an amazing job I LOVE my hair!!! so I would definitely recommend either of these ladies
I love Toni's skill, her expertise, gently yet firmly tames my wild locks!! She is an amazing talent; She also has a great personable warm personality- she lets you quietly read your mag if you want, or she can chop it up on the ready in regards to all the juicy current events/trends;) My family has temporally relocated out of state and I could not be missing her and that flip of the wrist more! Can't wait to move back and get the golden treatment for my locks-- I will have to settle for now:/
I first found Toni back at a salon that was so hard to find, I mean it was in cognito. But now Toni has her own salon and it's so beautiful and easy to find! My pixie cut started growing out (horrendously) so I made an appointment online and she saved my life!..Well hair. I swear this lady knows what she's doing! You don't ever have to be scared in her chair. Needless to say I highly recommend her to anyone!

There are not enough words to explain the value Toni puts into her brand. Her hair studio is not that average and you can tell when you first pull up to her shop. Once you walk in, you know you're in a salon that is clean, well valued, and have a sense of serenity! The decor is also on point and there has never been a time that I've gone that the shop has been in a disarray. What shop have you ever been to that's always spotless and smell good at all times no matter how busy it is. Toni makes sure she takes pride in her brand and is a perfect example of her work! She is always put together and never makes excuses as to why her hair or appearance is a mess and she is always professional. This is why I was shocked to see the 1 star review that was left! I'm not a hairstylist, but I do have curly hair and know that my curly hair will never be bone straight with a relaxer. A relaxer is made to straighten your hair, but a good stylist is able to keep your hair healthy by keeping the integrity of your texture, especially when you want to add color. That is one thing Toni and I have discussed when she has colored my hair in the past. Her motto is healthy hair first! She is not one of those stylist that will put chemicals in your hair without you understanding what comes with the process. I love how she has taken care of my scalp; which has allowed my hair to grow and it's the healthiest it has ever been. No more shedding! No more flakes! No more dead hair! I have a beautiful full short cut with volume and she's even gotten my thin sides to fill in. I am thankful that Toni always puts her clients first, always reinvesting in her hair studio, takes the time to always educate her clients, and most recently have made major changes to incorporate COVID changes that proves she's not playing any games with our health nor hers! read more

I found Toni after having anxiety knowing my hair was in dire straights after having back to back extensions for almost 13 years somewhere else. As you can imagine my real hair was literally like the crypt keeper. Thin, dull and pretty much gone. I had been thinking for years about wearing my real hair but I thought it would be impossible since it was so thin and had so much breakage. Toni breathed new life into me and my hair!! She took out my previous extensions and we had a talk about my desire to break free. She cut a beautiful pixie on me and I am confident to actually wear my natural hair and break free from the feeling that I "had" to have extensions. I cannot thank you enough Toni you have changed my life!! read more

My girl Porche totally had my back and hooked me up. I came in not wanting really long hair because I thought it wouldn't look good on me. Porche pumped me up and told me that I would love it and that it would looked good on me. She boosted my confidence and I got my nice long 18 inch faux locs, and I can't believe I wanted to go shorter. I love them. She has gentle hands and is really great at explaining after care instructions. She also moved really fast and got me in the shop and out. I love this place and I highly recommend any hairstylist that works in this salon they are al read more

After trying many different hair stylist and not having the results I wanted, I was very hesitant to try someone new again. My friend referred Toni to me and after seeing my friends results and the many pictures on her Instagram, I thought I would give her a try. Making an appointment was very easy; [I did not get a consultation] and she was brave to take me on without one. The atmosphere in her shop is amazing; very clean and upscale. (You won't feel like you need to take your purse with you when you go to the bathroom) Toni and her staff are very professional and polite. I went in for a color and press and put two braids in my hair and was very happy with my results. My hair has been pretty damage over the years; she explained to me some of the things I could to help improve my hair. I honestly feel that if I continue to come to her, my hair will get healthy. I would highly recommend her. Thankful I can say I finally found a hair salon. read more
