The Hairstyling Co

Just walked in for a haircut yesterday, no one came to the check in area to help me. A rude customer and her husband looked over and said that they are still waiting for there haircut and told me to go to super cuts. You guys need someone at the front desk. Would never go back and would never recommend this place.

I usually get my haircut at the mall but that place closed down. I remembered seeing this salon when I went to take a cousin to the planned parenthood in the same parking lot (it’s now closed down). I came in and the girls seemed so busy. One of the lady’s in the front told me that the hairstylist would be with me in 10min so I took a seat. As I waited and scrolled through my phone the hairstylist came out and introduced herself which I thought was nice. Anette (As the card says, sorry girl! Haha) seated me soon after and I told her what I wanted (that basic Kim kardashain/​khloe kardsahian/​Kylie kardashain long bob). She was very helpful and easy to talk to; she completely understood what I wanted and we were very quickly on our way to get my haircut. She gave me good small talk as she washed my hair (I can talk a lot!). The haircut itself wasn’t that long, which I loved! I soon had the cutest little cut, it was love at first sight!!! She gave me a complimentary power blow dry to see what it looked like dry, and it was soo pretty! She gave me helpful tips to get the cute messy wavy look.
My overall experience was great, the ambiance at the salon is nice. I loved my hairstylist and will totally come back to get my hair retrimmed. Recommend this to anyone!

Back at it again. Cursing up a storm with no regard to the other businesses and patrons around him. Most of which are young children. To top it off. When asked if he could watch his language he says he doesn’t care. Nice huh?
Not service related BUT please be aware that the owner has a potty mouth and sits outside dropping f-​bombs while kids go in and out at the therapy place next store. Totally unprofessional and tacky.

I use to come here to get my hair done by Gary Rist, Loved how attentive and entertaining he was for the 2 hour hair color and highlights. He would even bring
a movie on his lil portable player and sing.
My low score is for them losing Gary and having such a bad attitude.
When I walked in they were alittle on the rude side. I did not have them
touch my hair. Top it off, they wont tell you where Gary went —
He use to do wonderful work on my hair.
Oh Gary oh Gary Where can you be?

Christmas Eve my elderly mother asked to have her hair done. I phoned this shop (where I had previously been a client for over 15 years), and asked if an appt was available in the afternoon. The receptionist laughed at my request, but I asked her to please check to see if mom could get a shampoo, curl and set with color. Receptionist called out loud over her shoulder to one of the stylist who said she could do it, but she had forgotten to mention the color. I asked her to please ask the stylist if she could do color too. They didn’t have the color my mom had requested but said they had a golden brown, when I paused to ask my mom whether she could go with that color, the receptionist said to me into the phone…“THAT’S THE COLOR WE HAVE, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, MERRY CHRISTMAS”. I was shocked and told her how rude she was and that I would never send anyone to that salon ever.
I phoned later to speak with the manager, but no-​one answered the phones. Guess I will have to wait until after the holidays to report this to him, but wanted to post here for all to see.

Sitting here waiting for my grandma to get her nails done and listening to the owner have a conversation about how black people need to shut up about all this talk about police brutality and need to stop protesting. I could have guessed this old man was racist, but no need to with him spouting off at the front desk.

Julie where are you, I’ve gotten my hair done for over 10 years by you, now your AWAL
You went to Hawaii I was devastated.
When you got back I was so excited. I went thru 5 salons trying to find someone who knew curly hair!
Now you’ve been back 3 years and everytime your either late or no show?
Very disappointed.
Guess I’ll be looking for a new stylist
Sooo sad

I have been going here for 15 years now! Patty is my stylist and I obviously would go nowhere else. I have stick-​straight, fine hair and not much of it. Patty spends plenty of time with me which is important when every little snip counts! As a colorist — I can’t speak highly enough of her skills. I have had random people stop me in the mall to compliment my color. I was even complimented in a parking lot somewhere and this guy was a stylist from a local fancy salon. Patty’s pricing is more than reasonable. I was referred to her by a friend, and have referred her many times to others. I have also had facials here and loved the results.

I have been here twice before for haircuts and a highlight, I am from out of town (Washington) and was always happy with my results. My most recent trip I wanted to go dark, I am a platinum blonde, and had a photo with two different views of exactly what I wanted. Julie was my stylist. I did not get what I wanted, my dye job was sloppy and instead of taking 40 minutes like she said it took 4 hours. Also I was expecting to pay about 80 and it was 150. Needless to say I was not pleased. I went back on their next business day (it was Labor Day weekend) and Gary, the front desk man and also a stylist heard me out and understood and whipped out a 50 dollar bill from his wallet and apologized. Very grateful he took my criticism and unhappiness instead of making excuses!

I tried this place because it is close to my home and the price was right but after the last time I have decided I cannot go back. Gary cut my hair and the cut was fine. The thing I didn’t like was how cramped the salon feels and it looks dingy. not sure if it’s just outdated but it seems dirty and not relaxing. Gary is a nice enough guy but the fact is, he tries way too hard to entertain while he is cutting and it is uncomfortable to have to laugh at his jokes for 1 ½ hrs.

Gary Rist has been cutting and fixing my hair for a few years now. He is absolutely the best. My hair is not easy, dead straight with lots of cow licks. Gary takes it all in stride whether I’m having a cut it short and spike it day or now a little on the long side. Great sense of humor and dozens of movies to watch on his DVD player. He uses the very best of professional products, and is always entertaining. Pricing by the way is incredible. I used to do the La Costa Salon establishments but no more. Gray is the MAN!

2^nd time here, awesome awesome place! Fancy salon results except without the fancy price! First time there I had Julie who was fantastic, this second time I got Gary who was hilarious and fun! He was even on an episode of he Brady Bunch! His enthusiasm and energy is something I’ve never seen and I will definitely come back :)

I have Julie cutting and coloring my hair she does a phenomenal job! I have frizzy curly thick hair and no one compares to her cuts and the color that lasts a really long time. I love the Redken color products she uses it makes my hair so shiny. My husband was so happy when she moved back from Hawaii commenting (no one does your hair like Julie does) She also cuts my two daughters hair they get so many compliments from their friends! Prices are very reasonable and she is very flexible with my short notice shchedulle. :) Very happy with her and this salon.

Ann W.
Maggie L. cut and colored my hair. She quoted me a lower price on the phone and then charged me more at the salon giving the excuse that using 3 colors costs more than 2 which I later discovered shouldn’t make a difference.
While Maggie was doing my hair, she complained about another client who brought her well-​behaved children to the salon.
The color she put on my hair started coming out of my hair the first time I shampooed it and by the time I shampooed it five times the color was so faded and it needed to be colored again.
When I attempted to communicate with her by phone she became irate and I was unable to explain everything. With a different stylist at this salon it seems that I would have had a good experience.

Julie (hair) and Linda (nails) are the best! I won’t let my wife go to anyone else. My wife’s color/​cut always looks sexy.

I usually go to a fancy shmancy place but I wanted to get my hair done quickly and this place got me an appointment right away. As I sat in the front, waiting for my turn, the small voice inside my head was practically screaming, «GET OUT!». There were mostly guys coming in and business was slow so — I was nervous. Thank goodness I stayed. Bridget (or Brenda?) touched up my highlights and trimmed my hair. She did an AWESOME job. I mean really. She did better than my gals at Bella D’ora and it was only 65 bucks (vs the 155 I pay at BD). I will definitely be back here to see Bridget the next time I need highlights. Another point in her favor — I’m not much of a talker when I get my hair did — I like to read and chillax and Bridget was totally reading me on that one and just did her thing and let me do mine. Love her and recommend her.

Ted is the man, great cut at a good price!

I’m an old balding guy, so what am I doing writing a review on a hair salon? Well, when you don’t have much hair, you want to make sure that the person cutting it knows what they are doing. I’ve been going to Ted Walsh (the owner) here for years. And while he hasn’t figured out how to get my hair to grow, he does know how to cut it well.

I have been a customer of Luanne who works at the Hairstyling Company for close to 7 years and she is the most talented colorist I’ve ever experienced. She worked with my hair to give me just the right shade of warm brown for my complexion and corrected a green tinge put in by another salon. Over the years she has done highlights and low lights safely on my color treated hair and keeps it from looking faded, plus she uses high quality products. As for the salon, it’s clean and friendly and unpretentious. They also do great pedis, manis, and facials.

For nails I highly recommend Staci N. She has been taking care of my hands and feet for 5+ years! And either she’s really good or I’m totally out of my mind because I drive over 40 miles one way to see her. I have not found anyone who takes as much pride in their work as Staci which is why she’s worth the drive to me. She’s become a great friend and always reminds me when it’s time for me to come visit and keep my nails in check!
For facials, waxing, etc. you must see Donna. She’s fabulous! You will truly enjoy your experience with her and will look forward to a return visit. The moment you step into her room you will feel a sense of relief and will be ready for some pampering. Both of these ladies know their stuff and you won’t be sorry… I promise!
