  Tamara is really amazing with all types of hair. I decided to see her after my daughter got her hair cut from Tamara. My daughter has super thick hair that... read more can be very unruly. Tamara was a miracle worker and created layers that are perfect. The style and cut are the best I've seen on my daughter for years. My hair on the other hand is fine and straight.

  This review is not for the salon itself but for the woman that tried to sell me the "90% off for locals promotion for $40" at the Forum in Carlsbad.... read more Because I have never seen the salon, work, or done any research, I do not feel comfortable buying services from this salon right now, simple as that. I  told her I would think about it and she rudely inquired, "what, do you think I'm creepy?!" along with other snotty remarks. Just because I want to be an educated consumer doesn't mean you should be rude to a potential client. I worked in sales and rejection should be a way to learn not an opportunity to be rude. I would never come here based on that experience alone.

  My daughter and I just had our hair colored and cut by Malia, we walked out feeling newly transformed!!! My daughter is so hard to please when it comes to... read more color and she is amazed at the job Malia did! We are so excited to have someone we can honestly trust with our cuts and colors. I have been to 3 other stylists for a fun, cute short haircut and not one was I satisfied with until Today, Malia  gave me the style and cut I have wanted for so long! The shop is darling and Kiki,the owner, is amazingly sweet!  I must give a shout out to their "all natural" hair products by NEUMA,, simply the best and smells like heaven!   We cant Thank-You enough Malia and we see you in a few months!!!!    We obviously Highly recommend Kikis !!
