LGBTQ warning. I reached out to Brush Salon because I was looking for a new stylist closer to where…read moreI live. In my message, I specifically shared that I was looking for a queer/trans-friendly salon. I also explained that I have been a loyal client who has previously flown out of state to see my longtime stylist, but I was hoping to find someone local. I never received a response to my message, so I called. The person that answer confirmed the owner had received message and told me a person outside their salon would be a "better fit." I reached out to that person as well and received no response. Message received. The whole experience was disappointing and honestly painful. Looking for a new stylist as a queer/trans person already comes with a lot of anxiety around whether a space will actually be safe and welcoming. Sadly, this interactions let me know that my concerns were real. I can't speak to their intentions, but I can speak to the impact: I did not feel welcomed, wanted, or safe as a prospective LGBTQ client. I wish businesses could be more direct about who they aren't prepared to serve, because being quietly redirected elsewhere after explicitly asking for a queer/trans-friendly space feels awful.

I've been going to George Portillo since 2016, and at this point I'm convinced there's some actual…read moremagic involved. My hair is the longest and healthiest it has ever been, and that is absolutely because of George's skill, product guidance, and the way he approaches hair with both artistry and science. He's an educator at heart and is always up to date on the latest techniques, trends, products, and color science. He somehow manages to create the perfect blonde for my complexion every single time -- bright and dimensional without sacrificing the health of my hair. And his haircuts deserve their own mention because I genuinely do not understand how he does it: I leave with freshly cut hair that somehow looks LONGER. Explain that one. He's also an educator for EasyPro Hair Extensions, so if you've been dreaming about longer or fuller hair, you're in very capable hands. I personally haven't needed extensions, but I would trust George completely if I ever decided to go that route. Another thing I really appreciate: his timing is precise. Appointments are efficient without ever feeling rushed, which is a rare and beautiful thing. If you want someone who understands blonde, understands hair health, stays on top of his craft, and will actually teach you how to take care of your hair between appointments, book with George. There's a reason I've trusted him with my hair for a decade.

I had the absolute best experience with Amy Robertson at Vincent Michael Salon! From start to finish, her service was fantastic--right on time, incredibly thorough, and meticulous. Amy has a keen eye for style and perfectly tailored my cut to suit both my hair length and face shape. The wash beforehand was wonderfully relaxing, and throughout the cut, Amy was so warm and easy to chat with. I left feeling amazing and can't wait to book with her again soon.

Vincent Michael salon is a real gem, in San Juan. The stylists are friendly, the atmosphere is always up, and I've always had great haircuts by both the guys and all of the gals. Vince is great, and runs a fun, relaxed, and professional salon. Vince and Patrick are regular guys that know their stuff. My "almost 17 year old daughter" has long, LONG hair, and they know how take great care of her. All of the gals there, are sweet. My 14 year old son like the attention he gets there, and views going to Vinces place as "cool". What more can you ask for? read more

What a gem in the midst of the Spanish town of San Juan Capistrano. I felt like Pink--a Rock Star--. Edgy art, upbeat music, stylish design and clean salon with Hollywood trained stylists. Cassandra did wonders with my weave and Vincent gave me the "no hassle" cut I was looking for to drive around So Cal top down. As a bonus, they gave me 20% off as a new customer without me asking. Friendly, clean and comfortable. check out the website for a coupon of your own. read more

All the staff seemed very attentive to the clients and all seemed to pitch in to help each other out.

I have very curly hair and she's a wizard with it. She specializes in Baliage, fine and curly hair. Her demeanor is so great she's easy to talk to it's a pleasure to come to the salon. The salon also has a wonderful atmosphere, and a good vibe with free wine to boot. Give her a call. 949-701-7017 read more

I had highlights done by Lauren at Kate Lane Salon this past Saturday. Before the service, I was…read morevery clear about what I wanted: very natural, sun-kissed, barely-there highlights with soft blending. I specifically told her I did not want anything stripey, chunky, or with any yellow/gold/brassy tones. Unfortunately, the result was the complete opposite of what we discussed. The highlights came out noticeably chunky and stripey, with harsh lines, poor blending, and a distinct brassy yellow tone that makes my hair look damaged and unnatural. I've never had a salon service turn out this poorly before. Lauren herself was kind and professional during the appointment, and I believe she tried her best. However, the final result does not match what was agreed upon, and it has left my previously healthy virgin hair looking compromised. I reached out to Kate Lane management the next business day with photos from multiple angles showing the issues (patchy application, thick streaks, harsh lines, and brassy color). I politely explained that I was too upset to return for a correction and requested a full refund for the highlighting service. They have refused to issue any refund. I'm extremely disappointed in both the quality of the work and the salon's unwillingness to stand behind their service when it clearly did not meet the client's explicit instructions. This experience has cost me time, money, and confidence. I would have still returned to the salon for regular haircuts and to purchase hair products if management had handled this situation differently. I have had my haircut here many times and it was always a nice experience. Unfortunately, I cannot even recommend them for that anymore. Customer service is everything and this situation was not handled fairly or appropriately. I would not recommend Kate Lane Salon for color services, especially highlights. Proceed with caution -- or better yet, go somewhere else.

Mari Hernandez, Artist & Founder…read more I truly can't say enough good things about Mari and the experience she's created. From the moment you walk in, it feels less like a salon and more like spending a relaxing weekend with friends. First--practically speaking--the hair washing sinks are actually comfortable (no neck pain!), and everything smells amazing. Mari takes the time to explain the products she uses and the companies behind them, which makes the whole experience feel thoughtful and intentional. The space itself is beautiful--light-filled, beachy, and clearly curated with care. A lot of the decor feels personal or handmade, and she showcases artwork, jewelry, and crafts from local artists. You can tell she genuinely cares about supporting her community. There are even framed prints of her sister's stunning beach photography, which adds such a special touch. There's also a cozy patio with comfortable seating and a big umbrella where you can relax--I even caught a monarch butterfly drifting along Mariposa Street while I was there, which somehow perfectly matched the vibe. Inside, the natural light, music, and overall atmosphere create a full sensory experience. Between the calming playlists, the scent of the products, and the aesthetic of the space, it's incredibly easy to just sink in and relax. And then there's Mari herself. She has this rare ability to understand exactly what you want--even if you can't quite articulate it. I tend to describe things with vague phrases and hand gestures, and she somehow translates that into results that exceed my expectations every time. She remembers your hair, your preferences, and even what's going on in your life, which makes you feel genuinely cared for. She also meets you exactly where you are energy-wise. Whether you want to chat or just zone out (I'm definitely the "touch my scalp and I'm in a sleepy trance" type), she intuitively adjusts. Somehow, even when we do talk, it feels energizing rather than draining. On top of that, her technique is incredible--having her dry your hair is honestly so relaxing it feels (and looks!) like someone gently playing the harp. I first fell in love with Mari's work at her previous salon, and when she opened her own space nearby, following her was an easy decision. She's created something really special--an environment where you feel comfortable, understood, and taken care of from start to finish. Everyone who walks in seems genuinely happy to be there, and that says a lot. Also, the playlists? Perfect every time. I always leave wanting to recreate them at home. If you're looking for more than just a haircut--if you want an experience--this is it.
