Visions Seaside Spa

Visions is a great local spa that has a lot to offer. Specialty services such as facials & massage. I personally have used their onsite tan beds & spray tans, as well as their salon services.
I love Shalana Brinkman! She does great highlights & color. It’s an easy visit. She is always on-​time. If I am in a rush, she does her best to get me done & out.
Good service & great company!

Earlier this year I was desperate to find a stylist that was willing to come to my house on my wedding day which is a three minute drive from Visions. I found a stylist at visions who was willing to take the job (Jeannine). Having 8 women including myself in the bridal party she said she would have to hire someone to help her. Totally understandable.
When I met with Jeannine to show pictures of styles the girls wanted, she seemed very turned off and intimidated by the updos (which as a stylist she should be able to accomplish or even ATTEMPT to accomplish especially if she’s charging $ 75 per bridesmaid). She kept reiterating to me that the girls hair styles wouldn’t look exactly the way it showed in the pictures I provided. I had very strange vibes at this point but again, I was desperate.
I came in for my bridal hair trial which cost $ 50 AND took two and a half hours. We were making conversation and towards the end I finally asked about the other stylist she had hired to help her. Only then did she give me the bad news that the other stylist bailed and I asked about the rest of the stylists at visions, all of whom were «too intimidated by the updos» according to Jeannine. She said I! had to find another stylist to help her and that it would be fine if I didn’t hire her at all.
So unprofessional! Not only did I sit there for two and a half hours so she could make her petty $ 50, but my hair SUCKED and I walked away without a stylist for my wedding day.

Finally a stylist I can trust.
Shalana has a vast knowledge of hair which made me feel incredibly comfortable trusting her with mine. She has a clear concern for the health of your hair, which is something you don’t often see. I asked for a natural ombré look, and I can’t stress enough how impressed I am with the way it turned out. I’m so happy with my experience with Shalana and Visions Seaside Spa in general, everyone was super friendly and the atmosphere is gorgeous.
Thanks Shalana!
See you soon

After searching for well over 1 year for the right colorist/​stylist I finally found my girl.
I moved to SF from AZ and I used to have a stylist I loved there (Mood Swings Salon in Tempe, Lauren), and I thought no one could ever live up to her…
Now that I live in SF I was having such a hard time finding a stylist that actually listened and did a great job coloring blondes. Plus I was paying top dollar and it was frustrating to be paying that amount and not receiving what I was investing in.
I just stumbled upon Tori O’Connell through looking for great stylists on the internet and it was serendipitous because she’s absolutely amazing! She listens, is nice to talk to, and does exactly what I wanted. If you’re blonde and looking for great highlights, Tori is your girl!

I was so excited to get my hair done here last night with Rebecca Guerrero, she is the worst hairdresser, please do yourself a favor, don’t waste your money neither your time with her. I had a beautiful honey color and I just wanted to add highlights. She offered to cover my grays, I accepted and I ended up with a very dark chocolate color all over and I cannot even notice the highlights; I didn’t say anything last night because I thought that inside the salon was normal to see a different color; today everybody at work saying: «why did you change your color, the other one was beautiful»… I’m hating my hair color.

A great lovely place. The people and staff are amazing and nice. Recommend anyone to come here. Place and everything seems up to date.

Not impressed. Snooty attitude, lousy service. Who needs ‘em? Lots of other places in town.

I went to Tori with black hair, I wanted a light brownish/​blondeish balyage and she was able to lift my hair from black to basically the exact balyage I had asked for. She’s super sweet and there’s always something to talk about! Definitely my new go-​to salon

Shalana is the Guru of hair and style! I have been going here for two years; the place is gorgeous inside.. . welcoming, relaxing, great products, fantastic people.. .and of most of all.. .SHALANA!!!

Tori is such a great hairstylist! Every time I come in she gives me exactly what I asked for! She is so patient and will take her time, to make sure your hair turns out perfect! I used to dye my hair at home all the time, leaving my hair dead and dry but ever since I started going to Tori, my hair is so much more healthy! She always makes sure not to put your hair through too much so it stays nice and healthy! There’s also always something to talk about with Tori, so you’re not just sitting there in awkward silence the whole time!

5 stars is a must. Before I went to Tori, I had outgrown roots that was NOT cute at all. She gave my hair life! If you know who Guy Tang is & absolutely love his hairstyles, she is definitely a go to person to replicate it! & she talks to all her clients instead of just keeping it awkward & quiet. Go to Tori if you want your hair done! Definitely won’t be disappointed!

Tori is an amazing stylist and colorist. She not only color corrected my hair which not many stylists would take on but she keeps me that perfect shade of blonde. She truly is a perfectionist when it comes to blondes and can get you to that perfect shade. I highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed.

I went to visions for the first time recently and had my hair done by Tori, and you can be sure I’ll be back! She is really an expert, and helped me pick the perfect color for my hair. She is professional, but makes you feel super comfortable at the same time. I am so happy with how my hair turned out. Extra plus is she uses color that is not damaging, but left my hair feeling soft and looking glossy which has lasted weeks after we dyed it. The salon itself is so nice, very roomy (not like some places where you’re practically sitting on the other client’s lap!) and beautifully decorated. I will for sure be back!

This review is for Tori O!
I found Tori on Unilocal on accident actually, but a good accident it was. I originally scheduled an appointment with Regis and found her number in the comments but she was booked already when I contacted her. Luckily she accommodated me and I then begun my two session blonde ombré that I am seriously in love with. I’ve received so many compliments it’s awesome. She is so patient and explains every step of the process and she has really decent pricing for the amount of work that my hair involved. She’s a real outgoing person and is very easy to talk to. Thank you Tori and see you in a month for my toner!

For years I went all the way to San Francisco to get a decent hair cut and color until I found out that the best was right in my back yard (literately) the mall right behind my house. Shalana is so talented and always up on the latest trends. You can tell just by looking at her hair. Shalana is not only a great hair artist, she is so much fun to chat with while you are enjoying the pampering she gives you. I am so happy that I found her and I am always stopped by people who ask me «who does your hair»?

I got the Aromatherapy Massage here thanks to a birthday gift from my best friend; it was the most relaxing massage where i got to choose which scent i wanted (coconut lime). Exactly what i needed to recharge and i’m definitely wondering if this could be a monthly habit i could learn to get used to! just an all around great experience

I recently got my hair done here and I was thrilled with my experience.
I have gotten tons of compliments on my hair and my stylist was wonderful. My hair was done quickly and it was SO much cheaper than other salons in the area (120 for a cut, color, highlights, wash & style)!
I will be back. I am so happy to have finally found my salon. You rock, Visions!

I have had two massages from Angela, with a third scheduled. My first was the Steamy Wonder, which left me feeling incredible. My skin was so soft, and I was so relaxed. Next I got a deep tissue massage, with a focus on a pulled hamstring. It was the first time I have been pain-​free in months.
Angela is great, professional and personable. I highly recommend her.

Now at Visions Seaside Spa, Angela Scatena has the New Steamy Wonder! WOW! Wrap up and melt away inches and get rid of those sore joints & sore muscles, as well as salt scrubs!”
Will be doing this again really soon! Price is right :)
Very relaxing atmosphere as well as clean and comfy!

Wow– what a beautiful place this is! Very calm, relaxing environment.
Had my make-​up done by Kimberly Breeze for a wedding I was in, and she did a fantastic job! First she asked and really heard me out on what I was used to colorwise, then had wonderful suggestions on what works best with my skintone, eye color etc… valuable advice I was able to carry away and use. She is a true professional. Go pay her a visit, you won’t be sorry!
A few days before the wedding I had her do my brows and I have recieved a few compliments on how nice they looked!
