My rating starts with a huge "Thank you" to Sabel at Blue Haven. For starters, their shop is a…read moresalon, and is in North County. They do ear piercings with love and integrity. They offer gold studs which do better in the healing process of the ears. Sabel understood my concerns and the special occasion for the ear piercings! In addition, they keep the experience personal so as not to overwhelm anyone getting ears pierced for the first time. Everything is professionally done and sanitized. May this business be blessed with more business!

I drive up from SLO to see Anita because her cuts always make me happy and her talent with color is amazing. She's an incredibly intuitive hairstylist so I trust her to do her thing and I always love the outcome. Recently I cut 6" off my long hair, a big change for me. Both ladies were so sweet and supportive, I left feeling like a new person! Finally, I always pick up a few products while I'm there because I appreciate the honest recommendations and feel good about treating myself to great quality hair care!

22 hours ago NEW I…read morescheduled my appointment four days in advance. The day of my appointment, I woke up to multiple texts and a voicemail from the stylist, Callie. Callie said that she had a cancellation earlier in the day and wanted me to come in at 1:30 instead of 3:30. She said that she could still do 3:30 if I preferred. When I said no, I can't come in earlier than 3:30 she said that it's not going to work today due to a "scheduling conflict" and actually tried to blame me, saying that she made many attempts to get ahold of me sooner while I was asleep. She did not offer to reschedule. Again, I scheduled 4 days in advance online AND had to give them my credit card number in order to secure my appointment. I'm sorry to ruin the 5 star rating since my old babysitter is the owner but this lack of professionalism is inexcusable.

The business is always clean and it's so nice to be offered coffee or tea while you wait for your awesome hair experience. When I need my hair dyed, highlighted or cut I always see Cassie, she is the owner. She is just the kindest person, but beyond her awesome personality her talent with color is superb! I have dark hair and I like to get subtle highlights which Cassie gets right everytime even though I worry about them turning brassy she knows exactly what to do to keep them looking great! My most recent visit was a fearful one because I had lost an extreme amount of hair after having Covid. Cassie was very comforting and helped me feel at ease with cutting my hair short... I was scared that I would hate it. I ended up loving the short hair look! At times when my gray hair has not taken the color well she has made sure to correct it and never made me feel awkward or pay extra. To note that this has only happened one time in the several years of seeing Cassie. You will not be disappointed! There is so much talent in this business!

Sherry has been doing my hair for almost 20 years now. I'm not always very good at communicating…read morewhat I want, but she has an uncanny way of figuring out what I meant. I like to be adventurous and try avant garde styles from time to time, and if I choose something that wouldn't look good on me, she gives me honest feedback without taking the fun out of it. I know someday she'll decide to retire, and I am selfishly dreading that day.

It feels like a special destination, but her prices are reasonable and have not gone up since she moved. She listened to my angst and complaints of former hair cuts. She asked detailed questions and clarified my thoughts and comments. She also made several suggestions and told me items I could buy elsewhere to make my hair shine. She is not pushing a line of products which I appreciate! Great hair cut!!!

Let me tell you about Paige; she is one of the sweetest, intuitive, and talented hair dressers that…read moreI have ever came across. Paige is sincerely an impeccable hairstylist. I have never left her salon not being completely in love with my new look. She will go off your face shape and natural hair structure to perfectly frame your face to make you look better than ever. During my first hair appointment with her, she sat there listening to me go on and on about my hair texture for probably an hour. I am a bit obsessive about my hair and she understood, didn't judge and genuinely listened to my crazy hair rantings. Then when I decided I wanted to dye my hair, she responded to my countless text messages about the color and all of my questions about potential hair damage. This girl is honestly there for you and your hair needs 24/7. Lastly, she is remarkably well-informed with at-home hair care. When I get home after a salon visit I am eager to try the new trick she taught me. She really does give the BEST advice. I have never not been obsessed with one of her suggestions. In conclusion, Paige is wonderful and she should be everyone's hair stylist because talent like this doesn't come along very often.

I absolutely love Paige!! I started going to her when I was in college and have been going to her…read moreever since (7 years now!). She is not only the sweetest human being, but she also does amazing things for my hair! I love the balayage that she does because it always brightens up my hair, but also leaves room for growth of my natural roots so that I don't need to get it touched up as often as a full dye. She also uses the best products which leave my hair feeling and smelling great. Not only that, she also styles my hair and gives me the best beachy waves to leave with! She will keep you laughing, and you hair shining!!

I received a call from Madison and she was sweet and helpful, answering all my questions and scheduling a consult for the very next day, a Sunday! During my long appointment she did highlights and lowlights, with a gloss treatment, always checking with the owner on colors and timing. They were both concerned about getting it just right. I wish I'd taken a before pic as they nailed it! My hair felt soft, healthy and the color was perfect. I only need to go in every 6 weeks or so now, and I am so happy. They accomplished in one afternoon what I thought could take months. This salon is perfection when it comes to color or gray-blending. Thank you Madison!!

This review is not about the stylist's skills, but about the customer service and negligence I…read moreexperienced. I specifically made my appointment 9 days in advance because I was attending a wedding and needed a guaranteed time slot for a blowout. When booking, I clearly repeated the correct Saturday three separate times, yet the appointment was still scheduled for the wrong date. I understand mistakes happen, so as soon as I received the confirmation text with the incorrect date, I immediately called to have it corrected. The receptionist assured me it would be fixed. Several days later, I then received a text from the stylist saying my appointment had been canceled and asking if I wanted to book another one. I replied right away explaining that I had never canceled my appointment. Since I received no response, I decided to call myself because the last thing I wanted was to be left without service on the day of the wedding. Madison, the stylist, told me that I had originally been booked on the wrong date and that the time I requested was no longer available. She offered me a different time, but that was extremely frustrating since my entire day had already been planned around the original appointment. I then asked to be booked with another stylist at the time I needed. She promised to get back to me -- but never did. No one followed up, no one fixed the mistake, and no one even apologized for the inconvenience. The complete lack of communication and accountability was incredibly disappointing and unacceptable from a customer service standpoint.
