this one goes for Denise, she was wondering about my dress

Ana M.

First time I've ever gotten out of a Hair Salon HAPPY with the results! I went in to the salon not expecting much, since all my other experiences with hair salons had been so disappointing. And I wasn't expecting something amazing, I just wanted to get my ombre fixed since I was getting married the next day (no pressure haha), but Denise was so lovely, and knew what she was doing, she did exactly what I asked and more! Nice talk, made the time go by so fast, caring, and so friendly. Oh, and cheap too! I'm definitely going back!

Dani K.

Denise was fantastic! I was super nervous about moving to a new area and having to find a new stylist, but Yelp helped me choose this salon and I'm so glad. Denise was friendly and fun to talk to, all while being professional and exceptional at her work. She retouched my dual-toned highlights at the roots seamlessly and gave me a super fun cut. She took the time to get the cut just right and made sure I walked out of the salon happy. I would definitely recommend her.

Kris L.

I have found my new favorite hair expert. Her name is Jenn! The color job she just did is more than awesome. Takes talent people. She has it! I'll be back for more in a month! Yippee!

Shannon G.

I am very picky when it comes to people cutting my hair. I was very happy the Denise took the time to make me feel comfortable. She spent the time to talk over the plan and see what I was most comfortable. Took two years of living in cali but finally found a hair dresser. Love my new hair color and fun cut.

Thank you Kathy for the cut and style! I love it!

Gillian H.

Kathy is amazing it was 45$ for wash/cut/blow dry and she curled it. I was looking for a new go to person and she is definitely it! My hair feels and looks amazing I am totally satisfied and would recommend her to anyone!

Color and Brazilian Blowout done by the wonderful Denise! She has so much talent. I would recommend her to anyone I meet.

Went in as a last minute appointment with Kathy. Quaint salon, not high end like most others (which I personally loved), the atmosphere and service was amazing! My stylist started out with a consultation and really took time to discuss and explain what I wanted. Very friendly people that kept a conversation going, made me feel welcomed and relaxed. They guaranteed my cut for a week, so if I decided to make a change in that time I could just go back. But that won't be necessary because I just adore my new look and it's exactly what I wanted.

I decided to get my hair cut after talking about it for awhile and wanted to do so immediately. I called Xcentric and got an appointment that day with Jennifer. I had substantially long hair (half-way down my back, a few inches below my bra strap) and wanted to go to a super short pixie cut. I have a 14 month daughter that I brought with me so she could see the process and not freak out. The MOMENT Jennifer detached my ponytail from my head, my daughter LOST HER MIND and started crying and screaming. I had my cousin with me to take care of my daughter, but she was inconsolable. Jennifer was SUPER nice about it and actually let me hold my daughter while she cut my hair so she would stop screaming. Eventually my cousin took her outside and Jennifer was able to finish the haircut quickly (surprisingly with amount of hair I had...), and my hair is AWESOME. It's JUST like I wanted (emma watson's super short pixie), and while Jennifer asked if I had styling products (I did; I've had short hair a lot in the past), when i said yes, she didn't pressure me at all to buy anything additional. I am expecting to move soon this summer, however if my hair starts growing out prior to our moving, I am surely calling Jennifer for an appointment! read more

A long overdue review but I had a great experience with Kim. I called in one day and asked for a…read morelast minute appointment to do a fun manicure. Kim was able to get me in, and I showed her my inspo pic. She did a great job - not copying the photo exactly but putting her own touches on my nails. The nails she designed were actually my favorite! We laughed and had a great time, and it was such a treat. She also did a solid color pedicure for me, and that turned out great, too. Thanks, Kim!

I understand they were busy, however they told me I could sit down in a chair to wait for pedicure. I sat in the chair for 45 min before anyone came over. No one even put water in the bin for my feet to soak. I just sat in the chair. There was even a worker who was not working on anyone and walked by several times and did not take initiative to put water in my basin. Then some couple came in, and maybe they made an appointment, but they got helped right away. Sat down, water in their bins and everything before my pedicure had even started and I was there for 45 min before. Then the pedicure itself felt rushed and like they were just trying to get me out. Then the color I picked was running out so instead of having me pick a new color, she just painted anyway. The big toes ended up looking streaky and chunky because there was not enough polish for my toes to be done. Unfortunately I am too nice of a person to make a huge scene in a nail salon especially because other people are there for their services too but I felt it was warranted to write a review. I would be very hesitant to come back again because I feel like the customer service and quality of work was severely lacking. Im very very dissatisfied and I really wanted to ask for a discount because I did not get the experience or quality of work that I think was warranted for full price.

I went in yesterday as a walk-in around 4:40pm for a full set of acrylic nails. When I arrived, I…read morewent to the bar area where a few employees were present. I was greeted and directed to check in using the iPad. After checking in, I took a seat on the bench and didn't have to wait long before being called. I was then brought to seat number 2 with Liam. Liam was very nice and welcoming. He helped push in my chair and offered me the drink menu, which I declined. At first, I felt I may not have clearly communicated my idea, as I was unsure and trying to decide on a design. I was initially hoping for a pink cat-eye look with a French tip, but I probably should have shown a reference photo sooner to explain what I meant. During prep, he was a bit rough with cuticle removal, but I didn't say anything at the time. Once the acrylic process began, he checked in with me often to make sure I was happy with the shape and design. When I expressed that I wanted a pinker tone, he was very accommodating and redid my index finger so it matched better, which I appreciated. I did feel the acrylic ended up quite thick, as two beads were used. I asked about it and he confirmed it would be filed down later, so I trusted the process at that point. Liam was also helpful in bringing over different color options, and I appreciated his patience as I was quite indecisive. I showed him a reference photo for a pink sparlkly French tip, and he brought over several similar sparkly options, but none fully matched what I was describing. When I asked what he recommended or whether a simpler pink tone with a French tip could be done instead, another technician nearby immediately responded to me to "just choose a color," which felt dismissive right after I had shown the reference photo. That same technician frequently interjected into the conversation and often responded to my questions in a defensive tone. This made me feel uncomfortable and made it harder to communicate my preferences clearly. I was eventually left feeling overwhelmed and ended up settling for an iridescent cat-eye design. I do wish Liam had been a bit more proactive in offering suggestions or helping guide me through options, as I was unsure of what would work best. I also felt quite anxious during the appointment, and I usually go to nail salons as a way to relax and treat myself, so it was difficult to fully enjoy the experience when I felt pressured while asking questions. I do like how my nails turned out, although they are quite thick and I personally prefer a thinner finish. I really wanted to like this place because the color selection is good and the location is very convenient for me, but I'm still unsure based on this experience.

My old salon left me in the dust after going to them with my girls for years. When my stylist Karley left ( She did recommend some one to me, but the girl quit before I went back ) they didn't give me a replacement or return my calls and emails For an appointment. So, my husband found us a new salon. Later I will read on Yelp they did this to a lot of people. I went to Xcentric Salon today with my daughter in Vista, CA. This is the second time I have gone there. Last time was about a year ago. The last stylist was Denice and she did a wonderful job on my hair. My daughter went to her one time and also liked her. So, some time has passed since I had my hair cut, let alone colored professionally. It was time. My hair looked like crap and was in great need. I called to get an appointment, but found out Denice (That I would recommend ) is only there now on the weekends. I was sad because my weekends are full. I asked if there was some one else that could help me and my daughter. Shannon recommended Jen Larsen to me. Without telling her we were there for our appointment. She knew we were and gave us a lovely smile. We had never met her before either. As you know when you talk with stylist some can be boring or don't want to talk to you at all. We found Jen warm and carrying. A nice lady to talk with. My daughter has hair to her bottom and it's natural very light blond. If you have this color you know it's needs to be cut right or you can see every mistake. I didn't see any in her hair. Then it was my turn. Jen had already put the color on my hair. WOW, is all I had to say when she was done. My hair was worse that I thought it was. Jen fixed it! My color is wonderful and the cut is up to date. I would highly recommended her. You wont be disappointed. Oh, It's a small salon but atmosphere is nice and know blasting music. You wont be disappointed. read more

I got my hair cut at Xcentric over a month ago. I was waiting to write a review hoping that my hair would grow out a bit and I would like it better, but unfortunately that's just not the case. I went in with a picture of exactly what I wanted, which was a bunch of fun layers in a medium length cut. The picture showed a shorter version of that. I said, "I want this, but longer. It has to be long enough to put in a ponytail." I was asked explicitly, "do you want the same length at the bottom or do you want an A line." I specified I wanted the same length all around because I don't like A line. Toward the end of the cut, when I was facing a mirror, I asked the woman, "Um, isn't this A line?" Her response, "yes, it is. Do you want me to take it up a bit?" Why yes, yes I do. I don't like A line. So she took up the front a bit, but I still ended up with an A line cut. What's worse, I ended up with an A line cut that's too short to put in a ponytail. When she was done, she asked me what I thought. Being the chicken that I am and not liking confrontation or hurting anyone's feelings, I said I liked it, paid, and left. I went home, looked in a mirror, and cried. +1 star for being really nice and getting me in for an appointment the day after I called. +1 star because, had I wanted a short, A line cut, with layers, she did actually do a good job. The layers were even, the line was precise, and it was a skillfully done hair cut. -1 star for not being long enough to put in a ponytail. -1 star for being an A line cut after I said twice that I didn't want A line. And finally, -1 star for making me cry. I won't be back. But, to be fair, if you want a short, A line cut, you really should go here because they did do a good job. My issue is not that the cut itself was terrible. My issue is simply that it was not at all what I wanted. read more

Love, love, love my cut!! I was having some issues with my short haircut, and then I met Denise from Xcentric Salon! I just had my second cut with her last night, and couldn't be more pleased. She's particularly sensitive to not cut it too short, and it is sassy! Since my first haircut with Denise, my co-workers are all asking me where I got it cut, and raving about the style, and several people are already going to her. Another thing, when she styles my hair, I love it - so many times I've left a salon and gone right home and re-washed and styled it myself before letting anyone see me :-) ! But, when Denise styles my hair, I'm happy, and would go anywhere. Anyone out there who's looking - see Denise! read more

If I could give Epic 10 stars I would.I have been going to Sarah for 7 years going on 8 and wouldn't trade her for anyone else. She is amazing at what she does. I have never left disappointed she always leaves my hair exactly the way I want it. I get compliments on my hair all the time and have referred her number of clients because of how great she is. I couldn't be happier with any other hair stylist she is AWESOME!! The owner is very nice... I personally don't get my hair done by her but I have seen her work and she is great besides being super friendly. I love Sarah she is the best and highly recommended by me after going to her for almost a decade. read more

I have known Sarah for almost 10 years now and she used to do my hair all the time until I moved away for several years. I have never been able to find a stylist like Sarah and when I finally moved back to town I started coming to her again and my hair has never looked better!! She is the most amazing hair stylist I have ever met. Every time I go to her she ALWAYS gives me the exact look I was going for. I have never loved my hair more. To top it off she brought me from a rich brown to a full on blonde and my hair is not damaged at all. I have never bad more compliments since she has been doing my hair. Absolutely LOVE her. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I was looking for a new salon/hairstylist to get my hair cut and my bangs especially, since my old hairstylist totally screwed up my hair. I am veeery picky about my hair so I was pretty nervous and I looked up a salon on yelp. This salon had good reviews so I decided to give it a test. I loved it in a heartbeat! They were verrrry nice and, the salon is cute and homey just like a salon should be. I was able to relax and Denise is an amazing stylist. She engages in conversation and, she made me feel well cared for, she is an amazing haircutter and I would definetely recommednd this place for anyone :) read more

This salon truly is Epic!! The atmosphere is wonderful, very comfortable and fun. Shannon has done my hair for a few years now and I wouldn't trust anyone else (EVER). She is always continuing to learn new techniques and trends so she she can be sure to give you the exact look you are going for. I am someone who is constantly changing my hair so this is a great benefit for me, I never leave unhappy and my hair always looks fabulous. I would highly recommend Shannon (and the salon) to anyone. They also have a WONDERFUL Esthetician Linda who works wonders with skin and gives the most amazing facials! read more

My posting was removed by this company so I know this salon isn't a five star. I had sent a friend in and this place was not clean. And the owner accused me of knowing someone who worked there and I don't. The customer service was not good either. I wouldn't send anyone in there. It looks like their friends and family are their clients. My colleague will be doing a article in a spa magazine on salons that aren't up to standards. There are better salons in town and Carlsbad that are clean. read more

I am new to Vista and had put off finding a new stylist after my last one butchered my hair. I found a groupon for Jen Shines and made an appt.Jen was so warm and friendly. She was not rude because I was using a groupon as some people are. She took great care of my hair. I have blond fine curly hair and a bad cut shows immediately. My hair was soft, I can wear it straight or curly and it looks great! Cant wait to get it highlighted and cut shorter! I know Jen will do an amazing job read more

I walk in for my flat top hair cut appointment, sit in a reclining chair for the most amazingly soothing scalp massage/shampoo that I have ever encountered. Shannon does a spot on job with the hair cut and then I get another trip to the shampoo chair to rinse all those unwanted cuttings from my scalp before the gel and final touches. Shannon is an awesome stylist and her shop is extremely clean and inviting. Wouldn't go anywhere else and would recommend Xcentric to anyone. read more

My girlfriend recommended Shannon to me a few years ago and I'm hooked! Believe me, I'm a super picky hair person and Shannon is not only a wonderful stylist, (I wouldn't go to anyone else now for cut & color) but also an awesome person. She always provides excellent customer service, is reasonably priced, always on TIME, and fun to chat with! The salon is beautiful as well as relaxing. If your looking for a new salon to try ~ look no more. Great cuts for men too! :) read more

Before my stylist Sarah transformed my hair, it was just a normal boring head of long brown hair with side bangs. I came in with a picture and she made my hair friggin' gorgeous. I got a little longer than shoulderlength with bangs and layers, and I swear, I look like a movie star now. Plus she is super nice and talented and the decor is warm and welcoming. Sarah is the only one allowed to touch my hair! High reccommended Salon. read more

Sarah is amazing! I don't know why I ever strayed..I tried a new salon for the second time and she destroyed my bangs. I called Sarah to see if she could do anything and she squeezed me in. She did wonders! Did everything the other salon didn't and I am incredibly happy with the results. She also a sweetheart and does exactly what you ask for. I will never go anywhere else again. And I highly recommend anyone to go there! read more

I was very skeptical to try out new hair salons much so with a new hairstylist. But I'm so glad I did. Denise took me in without an appointment, she is very good and very nice. It seems like we knew each other already. I was very very happy wit h my haircut and color & highlites. She's very detailed especially in hair color. I really really love it. I definitely recommend her. Thanks Denise, you're AWESOME! read more

When it comes to hair, Sarah is a Rock Star-her flair for color and style is amazing! Sarah's passion for her job is apparant from the moment you sit in her chair. The salon has a friendly, fun ambience that makes you feel very welcome as soon as you walk through the door. I also highly recommend Linda, the Esthetician. Her skillful skin techniques are FAB! I am a huge fan of Xcentric!! read more

Sarah is highly recommended by me. I actually found her by reading about her on Yelp review. I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair color since I've been going to her. Also, I don't have to bend over backwards with words and pictures trying to explain how I want my hair to look....or NOT to look....Sarah gets it!! Her hair, makeup and clothing always look stylish, too. read more
