“If you are looking for someone to do your hair on your wedding day - look no further. I did my trial with Erika months before my wedding and she nailed the look I was going for. She was able to make my hair vision come to life with extensions! She is an expert at putting in both regular clip ins and the halo extension. After my trial, I booked her immediately.On the day of my wedding, she seriously made me look beautiful. I was nervous my extensions were going to feel heavy or fall out (I had a ton of clip ins and a halo) - but she managed to make me feel like I had no extensions in. Crazy. My hair felt secure all day and my curls lasted the entire day and night. I got so many compliments.Erika is also pretty fast and efficient, which is what you need as a bride. I booked her to do 13 woman and she brought a partner and finished exactly per the timeline. All the woman loved their hair (including two moms, bridesmaids, and a bridesmaid who also got her extensions put in!)Look no further if you want to look amazing on your wedding day. I honestly beleive she can do any look and nail it.Thank you, Erika!Services: Hairstyling“

“I first saw Danica for a haircut and toner for my brassy outgrown hair (understatement) and more recently for highlights after looking for a new stylist as mine moved away. I'm very happy with the results and appreciate the attention to detail and the relaxed atmosphere...and clean space. As a small business owner I appreciate finding a quality small business to support. Thank you Danica!!Services: Haircut“

“I was on the hunt for a salon and found Bellisimo on Yelp and so glad I did! I was able to conveniently book an appointment with Sinan online. He was very kind all throughout. I showed him what I wanted and he showed me exactly what he was going to do, what colors to mix and gave thoughtful suggestions for the cut. I’ve been getting compliments ever since! Thank you!“

“I went to Erika for a partial balayage the very last day before Covid closed studio again. She was super sweet. She gave her professional opinion as to what would look best (color and placement) based on what I was requesting. With the whole pandemic in the mix, she greeted me outside, took my temperature and provided hand sanitizer before going inside. In the 2 1/2 hours there she sanitized her hands and the surfaces multiple times. She made sure to take necessary precautions. We both kept our masks on the entire appointment. So after beautifying my hair and styling it, I absolutely loved the outcome!! I will definitely be returning to Chakra Beauty Salon!!“

“I couldn't have asked for a better first haircut experience for my daughter! She's newly 4 years old and up until recently I've been able to manage her gorgeous curls but with the weather change and curls just being generally thirsty, it was finally time for a good trim. I had received such great references from my local mom group on FB that I was more than willing to make the drive from Oceanside to San Marcos for an appointment. My daughter is generally pretty reasonable but sometimes has a hard time with new and unfamiliar situations, and expressed several times on the drive to our appointment that she didn't want a haircut so I was nervous.Neysa met us and let us in the door, taking us back to her studio. The bright yellow walls in her studio are cheery and welcoming, the tv with some monster truck cartoon playing was an immediate distraction, as was the assortment of cars, trucks, planes etc that my daughter grabbed and brought over to the chair.Neysa took a moment to explain what she was about to do, reassured that nothing would hurt and got straight to work. She also had a few different tablet choices, so my daughter picked one and was good to go. Neysa worked quickly and efficiently, communicating each step to both my daughter as well as myself and my husband (ie "I'm going to spray some water now," "we're going to put a cape on so your clothes don't get wet") so there were no off-putting surprises. Nothing felt rushed and despite working on a moving target like all kids tend to be, she was finished in no time.Neysa then offered to paint her nails but my daughter declined, so she offered a pretty braid and pulled out her phone to show options, of which my daughter chose a heart which was completed in minutes. She also got to pick a pretty bow for her finished hair, as well as a lollipop and a treasure from the treasure chest. It was such a fun experience for all of us and I couldn't have asked for anything better! My daughter left feeling beautiful and proud of herself for facing her fears, which is the best outcome of all.I definitely don't plan on waiting another 4 years to get her another haircut but I am already looking forward to her next one! I would rate more stars if I could, 5 just doesn't seem to do justice. We will definitely be back, and will be referring anyone else looking for a haircut for their kiddo. Thank you SO much for your skill and patience, Neysa!“

“Liz took me in as a last minute walk in. She was super funny, kind and professional. Took her time on my hair and left my hair feeling so soft and so healthy. Went in for a basic maintenance trim, and she made sure to only cut what we agreed to. Will definitely be back for more!“

“I was in the market for a blonde specialist and asked a co-worker if they knew anyone, and luckily for me the response was yes! I went to meet Taylor off a referral and couldn’t be more appreciative to have her blonde me up! She does an amazing job and stand by her work. Every time I see Taylor I tend to go just a smudge blonder and she helps with that while using clean products!Services: Hair coloring“

“Dawn is the best hair dresser in the world the most hard working the most dedicated to her work and I've been going here for 4 years and my hair with extensions has gotten healthier and longer and thicker and she does everything with care and the best and takes her time even when my extensions take all day to put in we chat and she's so caring and friendly and is continuously learning new methods of hair styling and in my case threading the extension weaves in so I am gladly going to be her first when she is ready to do that. I've gotten all kinds of coloring done and she just rocks. Great prices and worth every penny spent. I love you Dawn! If you want someone who will be there for you and be reliable and take your hair care seriously then choose her as your new stylist because you won't regret it and she will have your back (while she does your hair) and more long term!“

“Alex has been fantastic. For years I would go to random salons each time I got my hair cut. It was hard to find someone to do things right. When I found Alex all of that stopped and I never wanted to see anyone else. She is experience, friendly, and professional. I do not hesitate at all to refer friends and family. Thank you, Alex!“

“Amazing. When I moved to San Diego from Orange County I went from salon to salon trying to find someone like Kalyn. Not only is she really talented and has a passion for hair, she is regularly training about the latest techniques and styles. She is also one of the sweetest, most professional, caring people I know. She has done several looks for me over the years and always has ideas to make you look your best. Years later, I cannot go to anyone else. Vivace team is the best!!!!“
