I´ve been planning on getting a haircut for several months and was thinking about changing my look. Mary gave me some suggestions and showed me some photos of her work. I trusted her instincts without hesitation. I´ve never had someone take so much care in styling my hair as Mary did. She is a real artist, taking the time to do a perfect job and and I could sense that she loves what she does. Mary is also fun and interesting, so you´ll definitely enjoy your time with her in the salon. Thank you so much, Mary! I love my hair again!

I desperately needed my bob trimmed and only gave this place a call because no other hair salon…read morewould answer lol. I asked the receptionist what THEIR most convenient time would be to come in, and she said that because I wanted a "specialized haircut" that Maria would be the best stylist for me. Maria was in the background and I heard her say that 9 am on September 13th would work for her, the receptionist repeats this to me. That works for me, the earlier the better. They told me that the base charge would be $65, but once I told them that I wanted an A-line bob, I was told that this "specialized" haircut would start at $75. I'm not even asking for the super short graduated back of the head, just leave my front pieces slightly longer than the rest of the bob. I only need about 2 inches taken off the back anyway. I get to the salon, and it's a ghost town. When I looked them up last week, I saw they open at 10 am, so when they scheduled me for 9 am, I assumed Maria would be here before opening to do my hair. Nope. Waited about 10 mins, called both the Bellisima AND My Chair by Maria phone numbers, nothing. I'm just so confused. Maria herself said 9 am, so why is it 9:23 and I'm STILL not getting my hair done? Super unprofessional, super unreliable, and I'll never give this place a second glance again. Thanks for saving me $75! UPDATE: it's 12 pm, drove by to see if anyone ever showed up -- STILL empty. Couldn't even get a call back. What is going on here???

I love that she can tailor my hair color based on my hair profile and previous history with coloring, so I've been very pleased with how the color always comes out and I usually get compliments after my hair is done. Glad to report her work is still great and pricing is very reasonable many years later! Parking is also super easy in the lot and convenient to get in and out of. It's in a huge shared plaza with places like Trader Joe's if you want to get errands done while you're out here.

I was getting married and found out she's also great with makeup, so I had to include her in my special day She and Priscilla did hair and makeup for 6 people with great care and amazing attention to detail. Tiffany was meticulous leading up to the event as well - great with details, scheduling, everything. I knew I was in good hands. She even found the perfect hair piece for me!

I did decide to get a blowout in the beginning of July because I had travel plans and wanted my hair done.

I had to id a new hair dresser (bc I moved) and was so nervous since my previous hair dresser was so wonderful. Carolina was super friendly and welcoming. This was my first time meeting her and she took her time to discuss my hair goals. I shared that my goal is to preserve length but also to maintain its health. I opted for a blunt cut with face framing layers, and she D E L I V E R E D!!! She trimmed the perfect amount and did not leave it short at all. It was the perfect refresh! And, her scalp scrub was 10 out of 10! I've gotten wash & blowouts at other salons, and my scalp will still feel dirty. But, not with Carolina! My scalp felt super clean and she hit some pressure points. The blowout was super pretty. I also talked to her about some minor greys I have and asked about her root touch ups since I was doing them previously. She was so honest and said she didn't recommend it. Instead, she recommended a hair product for cover up from the Style Edit (which she is not sponsored by, does not have a partnership with, & does not sell at her salon. I purchased through Amazon without her giving me a direct link) I've been using that and I'm obsessed! I got to save my coin and I appreciated her honesty. I also asked about glosses (which she happily does) and she recommended continuing my in-shower glossing at home to keep my hair healthy. Carolina's integrity shines. I will keep coming & report back.
