Athena Hurd I love Sam and Raquel

Margarita Duran Love this place!

Ana Morales Sam always does a fantastic job with my eyebrows. I look forward to seeing her every month!

Hannah Fisher Evolve has an amazing team!! My haircut lasts me 2-3 days before it gets oily. It always feels clean, healthy, fresh, and light, plus the vibrant color!

Allison Miller I love coming here to see Nikki Ibarra! She is such a pleasure to be around and is so welcoming! I really like the hair products she utilizes on my hair. Every-time I come here she kills it with my hair cut. She really knows how to amplify my natural hair texture (curly, thick, wavy) and I love it! Always recommending her! The salon is super clean and cute too.

Melissa Ury Always a good experience here! Place is super cute and they always offer you something to drink when arriving! Shannon does my hair and always perfects my blonde.

Denise Avallone The staff at Beauty Solutions were so helpful and they delivered what I needed in one day, even though the item had to come from another resource center. I am impressed and very thankful. I wouldn’t be able to do my job without this kind of support.

A One of the only beauty supply stores that carries the product lines that I prefer. Great customer service. No wait time on the phone. My issue with a defect was addressed and corrected immediately. Thank you, Beauty Solutions!

andria gaskins Worst customer service ever !! So unreliable. They will not go to work for you after they charge your card. Good luck getting an order on time and make sure your charges are correct. There is a reason why Nordstrom and Amazon is successful. They get the job done from start to finish.

Phoenix ASC I had an amazing experience here, not only was Glenn super nice and friendly he supported that energy with a lovely environment and great music. I had a failed DIY experience and he managed to not only save my hair but make it look beyond great not only that but my parking meter had a 30 minute limit so this guy runs across the street mid haircut to fill it up now that’s some service right there SUPER GREAT HAIRCUT FOR A GREAT PRICE

Nicholas Eyestone The only place in Santa Cruz thats given me a good haircut in my two years as a student here so far. I got my hair cut by Glen who was super helpful and even gave me some good styling advice. Great place, nice environment, and a good price. They know what theyre doing!

Leif Osborn I just moved to the area and was looking for a new barber. Its usually an excruciating process because Im pretty picky about my hair, and it usually takes a few bad haircuts to find the right spot. Because of the reviews I read, I went to Surf City for my first haircut in a new city. Im not exaggerating when I say this, Glen gave me the best haircut Ive ever had, hands down. I usually dont do reviews, but in this case, I want people to know Glen is the real deal. I couldnt be happier with my experience, and Ive become a lifelong customer as long as I live within driving distance. Thank you Glen!

Koko Valadez This place is very nice and relaxing in a very comfortable setting. Britney did awesome with my son and keeping him calm and happy throughout the haircut! I usually end up bringing my son with me to the salon and he smiles every time he sees her.

Karissa Paxton Where to begin? Gillian is AWESOME. I took a chance because she specializes in curly hair and she not only rocked my color but nailed the cut. She is an expert in curly hair and I totally enjoyed my time with her. I found my home salon and Im so stoked!

Becca Fenwick Lovely people, I got a great haircut and really appreciate the understanding of curly/wavey hair!

Jeremy W Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She is extremely kind, skillful, and knowledgeable. I dont see myself going anywhere else for as long as I am in the area.

Ashley Walker Can’t recommend this salon enough! Michelle is so talented and I always leave feeling beautiful. I’ve been going to Michelle for about a year now for highlights. I’ve gotten highlights for decades and I have to say my hair has never EVER been this healthy and shiny while also being this blonde. The color line she uses is so gentle but effective that it has kept my hair from breaking at all which if you’re blonde you know is impressive! Go see Michelle!

Jenifer Liu Michelle did a wonderful job with my daughter’s haircut. She is friendly, professional and really good with kids. Highly recommend.

Lydia Harville I just got done seeing Lara for the second time. She did partial highlights and a cut on my curly hair. Both times the color and cut have come out beautifully! At one point I got a little anxious that it was going, may be a little too short, but She reassured me by showing how little she had actually cut off and when it was dried and styled it was perfect. She is very personable and really lovely to work with. Very, very happy with the results.!

Seth Clark Lara is awesome, super kind, always on time and listens to what you want. Also a great trait is she’s willing to adjust as needed while she cuts. As a man who’s gone to her for long, shoulder length hair cuts and short cuts, she’s very versatile in all.

Gisele Muller Sasso I had been stalking Lara on Instagram for a couple of months, admiring her work, and finally decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did! During my first appointment, she worked her magic correcting the color of my hair, which was in desperate need of help. I loved the results so much that I booked a second appointment for a haircut and keratin treatment, and once again, she exceeded my expectations. My hair feels healthier, looks more vibrant, and the cut is great. Her space is super stylish, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Plus, her energy is amazing! I highly recommend Lara to anyone looking for a talented and professional stylist. I will definitely be back!

Lori Heineman I have longer hair and just wanted a trim. Maria did a great job giving me new bangs and a trim, she cut exactly as much as I asked, and even educated me a bit on self-coloring. The true test is when I go to style dry myself at home and Im very happy with the results. The hair lays just as it should. Her prices are so reasonable, depending on your needs and I paid half of what the salon up Portola asked for. (with no one in the Salon).

Taten-Jinmu c I would suggest avoiding this place unless you want to look like a blind man tried to cut your hair. Simple request for a fade and got a "huh?" back in reply. I should have walked out right there but I walked over to their board, pointed out about what I wanted and thought it would be cool until the gal grabbed the back of my hair and just went at it with a buzzer and now I have a HUGE A shaped wedge in the back of my hair. The entire back is choppy and uneven no matter which way you look at it and its freakin terrible. "Oh no, thats alright Im not done yet" okay..... Proceeded to attempt to join all my hair together at the thinnest point of her buzzer attack in an attempt to basically cover it up.... Made the A more noticeable on the back of my head and while doing her laughable attempt at a fade managed to royally screw up a very meticulous line that I have to keep getting re-cut into my hairstyle because people keep absolutely destroying it. And she did it again........

SC Muller Fast and friendly service for walk-in on Saturday early afternoon. Marialuisa offered great suggestions for my thin straight hair and showed me how to style it with curls. Thanks for the cut!

Kelsi Blust This salon is so lovely! I just went and got my hair cut by Sophia and I am so happy with my hair. She gave me exactly what I was hoping for and took the best care of me, you won’t be disappointed if you go to Femme and Fellow!

Bekah Wong Mikayla is just the best

Leticia Maldonado Awful experience with the owner, Jacque. She was 30 minutes late to my makeup and hair appointment and showed like nothing was wrong (while I was waiting outside another customer who was also waiting outside said Jacque was "never" on time). Not what I wanted to hear when I was considering hiring her for my wedding. Once she started my makeup, she sounded like she had been drinking or was at least hung over. I was so irritated. Needless to say my makeup looked awful and sloppy. When I pointed it out to her she became defensive and incredibly rude. Most unprofessional and immature person Ive had to deal with. I ended up leaving and I didnt bother staying to get my hair done with her. Dont waste your money here.

Beverley Rabbitts Ramona gives me by far the best haircuts Ive ever had in my life. Intuitively knows exactly what I want, whether I bring an exact picture or a rough idea. Efficient, quick, professional, welcoming, and a good price. I especially want to share with queer/LGBT folks that every time I go here its a super affirming experience. I can bring my dog (not for a cut!) and I once brought my nephew in for a cut too.

Irina Blumen Our first time at this shop. In fact, nearly a first time in any barber shop: usually, my husbands hair is cut by the women of the family, and he trims his beard himself. Had a great experience consistent with what other reviewers here reported. An awesome professional haircut and beard trim by Ramona! From the second we walked in, the way she welcomed us in, right away helped relax the slight anxiety we had about going to this place. Oh and while you wait, its so fun to watch both the barbers do their work. We had called ahead and made an appointment. With that, the wait (around noon on a Saturday) was about 15 or 20 mins, and the hair cut itself took under 15 mins. The whole thing seemed so pleasant and easy, I now ask myself how come we havent discovered this years ago!

Evan Powell Awesome decor, family that runs it are great people, the barbers are super friendly and create a comfortable atmosphere. I always get a great cut even if I go in not knowing exactly what I’m looking for!

Beth Hecht Im so thrilled with the color and cut I got from Julianne at Harlo! She is truly outstanding at her craft and I highly recommend her for all of your color and hair styling needs! The salon is very relaxing and Julianne is so sweet- I feel pampered and beautiful after every visit there!

Chanel Kelly Julianne at Harlo is a goddess. She is so extremely talented and professional and treats every strand of hair with care! After getting my hair colored by her I would never go anywhere else. She has such great vision and cares about the hair integrity above all.

isabellasoleil1313 Julianne Taylor at Harlo does the most amazing work!! I couldn’t be happier with my new hair color and cut!!! I’ve seen her here once before for a hair color appointment, and just came back again for another hair color appointment as well as a haircut! I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do my color, and I always get so many compliments on the gorgeous red tones she creates! Book at Harlo with Julianne, you won’t regret it :)

JNY CAT Horrible haircut! Went in for a simple fade came out with... I dont even know what youd call it! They screwd my hair up royally. This place is awful and I really wish I was exagerating. Worst 20 bucks Ive ever spent! Stay away, far, far, away.. No Bueno

Morena Taylor She charge to much for a haircut $30.00 First time there. Was like a emergency very poor job.

Eric Reyes Shes very nice, speaks Spanish but very little English. She does a decent job of haircuts, location a little hidden between the Dollar Tree and the laundromat.

Sarah B Geselle is truly the best. I came to her when I was having issues with another hair stylist and needed a color correction. She was so kind and worked with me to not only make sure I loved my hair but that it is as healthy as possible. I’ve been with her for over 6 months and I’m so happy. I always love getting to see her. Highly recommend!!

Rachel Nigh Geselle was able to fit me in quickly, was super professional and kind, and my hair turned out amazing! It looks like Ive been in the sun and the highlights are so natural and glamorous!

Emily Castillo Geselle is amazing! She did a brazilian blowout on my daughter. Geselle got us in quickly. I booked an appointment with her on Thursday & she was available that Saturday for us. When we arrived we had a lot of questions. She answered all of our concerns & even told us if we werent ready & wanted to do some more research, that it was totally fine. We decided to go ahead with the treatment. She spent the next few hours with my daughter, and answered all of our questions afterward. I highly recommend Hair by Geselle! My daughter is very happy with her decision.

James Jones Went for a haircut for the $60.00 price to shortened up and style my sons haircut. Not impressed at all. Just an FYI for all parents scheduling hair appointment be aware. No wash stations for this type of haircut very surprising . I could have went somewhere else and had better results. Elias was his barber. Trying not to be negative but you could have presented a decent haircut on top of my 20% tip. One more thing I observed, the other barber awaiting his next client was sitting there for 10 minutes not even thinking about cleaning up the previous clients hair off the ground. Will not be going there anytime soon and I am local who lives right down the street. Crazy

Mike K Was in town for a day and got a haircut here. Theres a premium on the price but they make up for it with the quality and service. Plus they serve a couple of different types beverages (beer, seltzer, etc.) while you wait, which is always a plus. Got my cut from Drew, who was very solid. Good vibes and a great haircut. Will come back if I am ever in Santa Cruz and in need of a cut.

Marcio Haas Sean Super professional. I loved my new hair cut. Sean is fast, gentle and professional.

Fiona Taylor is simply amazing, I struggled with my hair for years before I found her and I have been thrilled with it ever since. She is so skilled and professional, and has an amazing talent for creating the style you envision, only better!! Every single time I have left her salon chair I have felt like my hair has never looked better. She makes the entire process delightful from start to finish. Taylor is an incredible artist, and I would recommend her to anyone!!

Lenore Young I saw my co-worker’s hair and it looked great. She gave me Taylor’s card and I phoned her. She texted me with so many questions about my hair and we set up an appointment. It had been years since someone has taught me about my hair. I had had long hair that got worse and worse and I cut it off in frustration before finding Taylor. But still my hair looked bad. Taylor explained the build up in my hair and how my natural oils were not reaching the ends because of the build up. She also new how to undercut my hair and today it is so silky and retains it shape and I see my own heathy melody of colors in my hair. Thank you for bringing me back to my own appreciation of my hair.

Chris Sterbenc Our entire family has been going to Shear Joy for years. Joy and Carol are both lovely people and they do a great job with women, men and children. Cut, color, whatever you need, their work is impeccable.

Melanie Sargent Love getting my hair done at Shear Joy! Both of the stylists, Joy and Carol, are phenomenal. Its beautiful, clean, and friendly without all of the catty drama that is often found in hair salons.

Linda Kesler Best hair stylist ever! Wish Id found her years ago.

Abraham Jason (Jason Abraham Photography) Had an amazing haircut/new look. I came in and had no idea what I wanted or needed and Jose took care of me. I had been rocking the man bun for years and wanted a low maintenance and professional look. He nailed it. Everyday this week I take no more than a few minutes after my shower to work with my hair, and have had so many compliments from people at work and friends in different social groups. Gotta trust the professionals at Get Faded Barbershop. This was my first time getting a fade or this style of haircut; so I was a little nervous at first. But I have been happy all week with this clean new look.

erin ellis Ricky has been cutting my hair for over 5 years, and always does an awesome job. I come all the way from the mountains to get my haircut from him!

shaborn sessoms Great experience, Oscar is one of the best at Get Faded. Really takes his time and is great at communicating to ensure the customer is satisfied with the end result. Will definitely go back.

Shiri Gradek Veronica has been my go-to esthetician for 13 years. She’s the best! I prefer that everything exist within 1 mile radius of my house, but I have even driven to Aptos from Santa Cruz for an appointment with Veronica on a Friday afternoon. If that is not a testament to how great i think she is, I don’t know what is.

Julie Lockwood Veronica is truly the most amazing esthetician. Her studio is beautifully curated, she is the most wonderful human to spend time with, her services are above 5 stars and her prices are always very reasonable. I’m so grateful to have found Veronica!

Althea Knapp Veronica is the best! I’ve been going to her for over a year and I can’t recommend enough. Also love their cute little salon + snacks!!
