Red Ruby Salon

Tabitha Fajardo is seriously the best. I met her through another mutual friend and started seeing her when I had dry, damaged, over-​bleached hair. She has restored my hair without compromising the color I want (super blonde). She knows her stuff, that’s for sure!
She’s also done my makeup for special occasions and each time it has been amazing. From Halloweens, to engagement photos, to birthdays, etc. Truly detailed work.
What I love about Tabitha is that she is always honest and works to achieve what you want. She is always suggesting ideas and we «collaborate» together on styles and color. I love it! I have never ever been unsatisfied with her.
She is always super busy so sometimes works on 2 clients at once (when one is processing, she may be cutting or styling another), which is totally fine with me. Why not kill 2 birds with 1 stone right? It’s fun to watch her in action. I would definitely recommend her to my friends (and I have). Thank you for always making me feel beautiful :-)

I was referred to Tabitha through my wedding Photographer for a Bridal Hair and Makeup Trial. I was so disappointed when I left. I was only at the Salon for about 45 min. Tabitha rushed through everything. She did my hair first and my make up last. My curls were flat by the time she finished my make up. She didn’t take the time to match or blend my make up correctly. My face and neck were two different colors! When confronted about my concerns she didn’t try to make it right, instead she responded with «this is a trial! The not the real day.» To add insult to injury, she is really expensive! She is very rude and arrogant. Spectrum Salon saved the day!

I found this place by chance, and boy was I happy ! Tabitha did a great job squeezing me in for wedding hair with only less than 2 weeks notice ! I LOVED my wedding hair, and while I was there that owner Irene did a FANTASTIC job on my eye brows and forehead! they made me look stunning: D I have since then continued to come to them for all my dye and waxing needs, the service is great and they are always accomodating.

I love Trish she’s the best. She’s been doing my hair for like 15 years. She always does an amazing job. She has done my hair for formals, proms, weddings and everything in between. You can be very specific with her or let her work her magic. She’s a great colorist and stylist.
Tabitha, who also works there is a great manicurist stylist and makeup artist. Trish and Tab did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I never felt more beautiful. They’re basically the best glam squad in Fresno and for very reasonable prices! And they will both find or make time for you.
The salon is nice and they have a great selection of products. The salon is kept clean and they have a great and current magazine selection.

My review is concerning a hairstylist at this salon and not the salon itself or other hairdressers. I had been going to Isabel Montoya for about a year, and she had been doing a decent job. Although sometimes she would take up to 4.5 hours and that seemed ridiculously long to me. I get the same thing as always, alternating red and dark highlights. She began to do a progressively worst job each time. I told her that I wasn’t happy with the last job that she had done as there were very little highlights and they were uneven throughout my hair (for instance, a considerable larger amount of red highlights (and much thicker) on the ride side of my head).
She did my hair again, and did even worse, to my surprise. I had three very large skunk-​like chunks across the right side of my head (1.5−2 inches) and two extremely small strips on the left. When coloring my hair and wrapping it into the foil, she did not brush the crème onto the tips of my hair. She also got the color wrong and added additional color in the middle of the dye process only to the top of my head. Therefore, I had red at the top going into blonde halfway down the length of my hair. The end result was absolutely awful. I told her of my concerns and her reply was «I don’t know how that happened.» She then added «it looks beautiful.» No, it doesn’t, and I’m certainly not appreciative that she chose to ignore my concerns.
To top it off, she was going to schedule an appointment to fix it, but never did. She really didn’t seem to care at all. Not only do I feel let down by someone whom I considered my friend, but also by someone whom I had entrusted my hair to, a so-​called professional.
Avoid Isabel. If you are stuck on going to this salon, then I would choose Trish who has received good reviews on here.
The pictures below illustrate the concerns that I have mentioned– you can see the incredible thickness of the stripes throughout my hair and the shifting of color halfway down the strands.

This place is super cute and I REALLY want to give this place 5 stars because all of the stylists are very nice and do a good job. I have been to this salon twice for hair and highlights with Erica. She was recommended to me by one of my friends. It has taken me so long to find a hairstylist that does haircuts and highlights well and I was really excited because I thought I finally found my hairstylist. The only reason I am giving this place 3 stars is because I have tried to contact Erica to set up an appointment SEVERAL times and she doesn’t ever respond. I’ve heard through a couple people that they have had the same problem when trying to book appointments with Erica. You’d think that if you are a hairstylist you’d want to set up appointments to keep your clients, wouldn’t you? It is really too bad because I liked her and would have been a returning client. Now I am on the search for a new hairstylist that can cut and do highlights well for an affordable price. Anybody have any ideas?

Trish is amazing! She gets what you want and makes sure she gets it exactly how you want before you leave! She noticed something I did not and sat me back down to fix it before I left. I have tried several others in town and she is by far the best!

I’m constantly on the search for a good hairdresser. I always find gold mines every now and again, and then I always feel the need for a change. Maybe that’s my OCD with my hair?
I was visiting one of my friends in Fresno, and she recommended this beauty salon and hair dresser (Trish) to me. The salon was very clean, modern, great music, and always friendly faces. :)
I went to see Trish that works there… and OOOO… EEEEMMM…GGGEEEEE…She is SO freakin good! Not only did she quickly «get» what I wanted, but was super fast and efficient. I’m used to going home with a numb butt, a wet back, and very nauseous from the 3.5+ hours of smelling the salon… I was in and out of there in 1.5 hours. Can you say AWESOME!!!
The only sad part is that I don’t live in the ‘NO to make this my go to place… BUT…every time I head up there, I def wanna make her apart of my visit… I mean, It’ll be only 1.5 hours out of my visit! ;)
There are many different ladies from different age groups and different styles… but all in all, they all seemed to know what they were doing… AND they all have great rapport (SO important).
