I came to Exclusive after moving back to Stockton and needing a new extension specialist. I already…read morehad extensions in, but they looked wild and were done by someone who always rushed through my move-ups. On top of that, my extensions were constantly falling out and even hurt my head. Thankfully, Brittany took me in and switched me over to the weft method. Since making the switch, my hair has felt amazing and looked even better. I get so many compliments on it, even at the gym when I'm sweaty and feel like I look crazy. My hair has never been painful, and I've never had extensions fall out. Not only is Brittany an incredible stylist, but you can truly see her care and dedication to the salon and her team. She's always willing to let other stylists watch and learn from her. The salon itself is clean, down-to-earth, and so welcoming. Snacks and drinks are always provided, and everyone there is genuinely kind. I'm so glad I made the switch!

If you're looking for a solid stylist in the 209, go see Victoria/Vee (@hairbyvee209). I've been…read moregoing to her for a while now and the growth I've seen is crazy. She's handled my hair and extensions perfectly, and she actually knows how to do a proper trim without taking off too much length. She's super sweet and easy to talk to. Definitely worth checking out. Honestly, it's hard to find someone who actually cares about the health of your hair and not just making it look good for a photo. I went from being stressed out about my hair to finally loving it!

My haircut and purple peekaboos turned out even better than I expected, and the exact color purple I was going for and I received so many compliments afterward.

I had booked with @colorannecuts and loved my experience and my hair! She is so welcoming and has…read morethe warmest soul. I brought in several inspiration pictures and she helped me navigate exactly what I wanted. I had gotten several services with her prior. She always is transparent with the possibility of not getting exactly what I want based on the integrity/state of my hair (as any hair stylist would). I wanted something super natural, lived in, low maintenance and a sun-kissed placement with light pieces framing my face. She did exactly that! During the service she also did mention if I didn't like the first tone after blow drying that she can redo it. But I ended up loving the color the first time around. I know she might not be the hairstylists for everyone, but she definitely will always be my go to stylist.

I booked with Camille -- she was super sweet, and the salon was cute. I sent her inspo photos and…read morebooked a full highlights/balayage session (I'll attach photos below). I knew my results might not be 100% like the photos, but I never expected my hair to turn out darker than what I came in with, especially when I never said I wanted my natural hair color. Also if you read the description for the full highlights/balayage it says you will have overall brightness and barely any dimension. I've also seen other stylists photos of "full highlights vs. partial" and mine looks like it got dyed black with the occasional streaks of blonde. During the consultation, I mentioned wanting dimension and something low-maintenance, so I expected a slightly lighter or similar look. As the appointment went on, I realized my hair was being tinted black, but I trusted the process. In the end, my hair was basically black with a few blonde highlights and money pieces. She did give me a complimentary cut, which was nice, but the color wasn't what I asked for at all. Overall, I think there was a lack of communication. Her prices are very reasonable, but if I'm spending that much, I don't want to end up back at my natural hair color. If the blonde wasn't possible without damaging my hair, I would have appreciated a clear conversation before moving forward. I would've just waited and focused on hair health instead.

Well they say " 3 times a charm"... Not necessarily so! All I have to say positive about this place…read moreis they have the name of the salon correct ALTER! Because they definitely need to ALTER their attitude!!! I've gone inside 3 times. Just wanting to speak to someone and possibly try to make an appointment. I realize they are busy and after all I did not have an appointment. However, 3 times I've experienced nothing but rude attitudes! My first experience I was greeted at the door by a young girl, telling me "were closed" she than closed the door and locked it walking away. Okkkk! Second time... I walked in and stood there waiting for someone to acknowledge me. No one did, they just looked at me. Didn't ask do you have an appointment. Or can I help you? Nothing. I finally asked if there was a receptionist that I could speak to. One blonde lady turned to me and said" there's no one available" ....OKKKKKK! 3rd Time... Walked into the salon, heard hair dyer going therefore realized they were busy. The hair dryer finally was turned off. I made a noise to where they could hear that I was inside the entrance area. The same blonde lady stuck her head around the corner and said "I am the only one here. I can't stop now I am coloring hair" INTERESTING!!! As I Never thought a hairdryer was used in the process of coloring hair. Each time I was NEVER greeted with a "hello... can I help you... or do you need or have an appointment"? AGAIN ALTER YOU ATTITUDES THERE!!! Oh in order to post , a rating is required... To bad ZERO isn't an option!

I'm a long-story kinda guy, but bear with me; you might be entertained…read more My mom was a cosmetologist and she gave me every haircut I got until I was about 18. Since then (we're talking THREE DECADES-ish), I think I've only gone to the same hair person once. She started working out of her garage and I kinda noped out. So there's been this endless line of decades worth of haircuts that have failed to impress me. I've cut my OWN hair several times. My girlfriend is NOT A FAN of my cosmetological skills, or lack of same. I should rewind a bit. I have curly, sometimes frizzy, nasty hair. It has NEVER LOOKED RIGHT. I'd look at Patrick Dempsey, or Robb Stark, or Chalamet, and I'd say, "y'know what? I could look like that with the right combo of product." Nope. Thousands of dollars of products later, I have never achieved the look I was looking for, until today. Today I crossed paths with Amber Smith. Reportedly, she's the only one that does "guy hair" at Enlighten Salon. I told her my sad tale, she was very reassuring, and said "you'll see, you'll look great". And proceeded to give me (and I love my mom more than life itself) the best damn haircut I have ever received in damn near 50 years. She even taught me how to style it!! I've literally purchased BOOKS on "curly hair for dudes", and none of that stuff held a candle to Amber's work. Whether you're a guy or a gal, PLEASE check this place out. This was a one in a million find. You will not be disappointed.

As a first-time mom, I was excited to finally treat myself to a haircut, so I stopped by on a Saturday around noon. When I walked in, there were two staff members sitting and no customers. One looked me up and down, and then I was told they were closing right then, even though the posted hours said they close at 5pm. She referred me to other salons nearby that would "greatly take me." I thought maybe it was just an off day, so I decided to give them another try about a month later. Unfortunately, I was turned away again and referred to other salons. I understand that scheduling issues can happen, but it was disappointing to be turned away twice during posted business hours. I ended up taking my business elsewhere and received welcoming service right away.

I have watched Stevie Diaz for a long time and got to know her over the years. Her work speaks for itself. She is meticulous, professional, listens to her clients needs and wants, gives her best advice and professional opinions based on those needs and wants, she is honest and above all talented! She wants each clients experience to be personal down to being aware of their emotional needs as well. For example, she recently posted that if her clients need quiet time during their appointment she would not take offense because she knows that some people just want to get their hair done without all the extra talking. She understands that a hair appointment is not just about the hair but the entire client experience. I just enjoy Stevie and appreciate her awesome skills and willingness to go the extra mile for each client so they walk out of their appointment feeling confident, relaxed and gorgeous! She is not just my stylist but also a friend!
