Opulence By Chadwinn Scott

Super knowledgeable and awesome every
time.

I love this place! I just moved to La Jolla from the east coast and came in to Opulence bored with my long single-​length brown hair. I asked for a deep red/​purple color with some highlights and layers. Kaysha and Chadwinn brainstormed to mix the perfect colors, and Kaysha applied it to my giant mane of hair with patience and a smile. The red color was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. When I wasn’t completely happy with the amount of blonde highlights, they had me come back to put more red in. They welcomed me back with a hug, put more of that pretty red in my hair free of charge, and Kaysha refused to take a tip for her time, requesting only a hug instead. They are so welcoming and accommodating here and did a great job making my hair beautiful! Happy to have found this place and will definitely be back!

Love chadwinn! He’s the only hairstylist I’ve ever followed and couldn’t be happier he finally has his own salon. I’ve gone to numerous hairstylist saying I want a change and giving them the opportunity to cut and color away and I usually come home with the same color and a trim. So disappointing, which usually causes me to go find another stylist. Went to chadwinn came out with the cutest cut and best color. That was 5 years ago and I haven’t seen anyone since. He’s moved around and raised his prices but it’s more than worth it. If I go in with a picture of a style he’ll match it and if he doesn’t think it’s for me, he’s honest and lets me know. I more than trust going in and saying «I don’t know what I want» and having him do his magic. I haven’t been to the other stylist but they all work together and all are very friendly and welcoming. I would hands down recommend him to anyone.

I’m on my way to see Bethany for the 3^rd time! I’ve finally found a stylist I love, since moving to La Jolla three years ago!!! She works with you to figure what is best for you! She made recommendations and gave me options and in the end will listen to what it is that you want! I’d highly recommend Bethany or anyone here! I’ve met a couple of the stylist’s, including the owner. They are all very nice and you can feel that ‘family’ feeling when you walk in the door! Very comfy and cute setting and everyone seems so very talented from what I’ve observed. You won’t be disappointed if you give anyone here a try! (of course I love Bethany — she’s the one that makes me look FAB!)

With the magic of Chadwinn’s color expertise, my hair color became warmer so now my complexion and eyes look brighter; plus, the hairstyle makes me look younger. Very happy! He so knows what to do. Chadwinn is a true stylist, and isn’t that a relief. As an added bonus, the salon is just a wonderful place to spend your time: elegant, spotless and classy. Oh and I almost forgot — the salon has ample free parking.

Let’s start off by saying that Chadwinn has been my very first and will probably be my only colorist. Being a loyal customer for four years now, Chadwinn has never disappointed. Not to mention I’ve followed him for the past three salons he’s been at! So glad he finally has one to call his own. Hopefully I won’t have to be following him to a different location any time soon.
During every visit with Chadwinn, I can depend on having him listen to what I want which has always been a problem for me with any other stylist. So glad that I have someone who can actually deliver. No matter how many different styles I come in wanting, there is always a guarantee that it will look AMAZING! I literally can’t go anywhere without anyone complimenting me on my hair and asking where I had gotten it done. So of course I send them right on over to Opulence!
The atmosphere is amazing within the salon also. Clean and crisp designs and a relaxing wash area. The complimentary wines, lattes, and refreshing ass hell cucumber water helps as well. And the staff is always so friendly! You can definitely depend on them to help you look the best you possibly can.
I would recommend everyone to give them a try, you won’t leave disappointed!

It took me 5 years living in San Diego to find a hair stylist that I trusted and Chad has completely exceeded my expectations in every way possible. He is an artist and master when it comes to highlights and cuts. He’s also very efficient. You will not be sitting in a chair for half the day, although I want to during his wash and scalp/​neck massages… OMG! To top it all off Chad has an amazing personality and the staff and other stylist at Opulence continuously go out of their way to make sure you have the most pleasant experience possible and feel at home. I cannot state it enough, if you haven’t been to Opulence salon, get there ASAP!

Chad and his team are amazing! I had the pleasure of working with them for my wedding. They are very professional, personable, and wonderful to work with. They all came out for my wedding and wedding party. Everyone looked amazing and I am still getting compliments about how my hair was done. I wish I knew how to post photos! Also, Chad came to my rescue when my previous hair dresser disappeared on me right before my wedding. Let me tell you, it was a blessing in disguise! Chad is by far, the best at doing blonde I have ever dealt with. I will never change hairdressers again and I highly recommend his salon and team.

I’ve been going to Chad for over two years now and he truly is «The Blonde Doctor»! It’s very hard to get the perfect color of blonde but with Chad’s expertise, he masters it! I followed Chad from a previous salon to his new salon in La Jolla! It’s more than worth the drive for me! I’ve done everything with Chad from trims, to cuts, to long extensions, back to bob, to super short and platinum! He has never once disappointed me! His salon is clean and classy and him and his staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable! They offer you a drink or a cappuccino while waiting and pamper you from the second you walk in the door! Kaysha and Bethany are two of his hair stylists and they are just as amazing! They are always busy so make sure you book in advance!

I am so pleased with my new hair color and cut! I asked Daniella to give me a rich color with a blend of purple undertones and she exceeded my expectations! I’ve been getting so many compliments with my new color! Daniella is the best!

Don’t let chadwinn touch your hair! Unless you want to be a terrible orange blonde regardless of what you ask for. I went to him, I had spent 8 months not coloring and trying to grow my hair long so I can get a nice natural looking balayage to and ombré. I showed him pictures of what I wanted and the first thing I said was I didn’t want to touch my base. He quoted me 150 – 250 depending on how blonde I wanted to be. He pretty much just bleached my head with foil up to about 2 inches from my roots and charged me $ 375!!! It was the worst dye job I ever had! I was so upset because I couldn’t wear my hair up it down because it looked so bad and my top looked like a cheetah. I sent him pics and asked him to fix it. He still didn’t listen to my when I went back I asked him to bring the darker color down and blend it which to him meant highlight me to my roots to fix it. After paying $ 375 plus tip and going to him 2 times. I had to go to my friend just out of beauty school to try to fix the color. She did better than him and now in about 3 months when my natural color grows out at the top I’ll actually have what I asked him for in the first place. It has been a month and I’m still furious about this terrible color!

Bethany, amazing hairstylist, By far the best haircut I have had — ever. You will very pleased. In my queries to her about her past training, I was amazed by her extensive training — almost a PhD in hair styling, She teaches the craft and art of hair styling. I had come to the Opulence Salon based on Chad, the owne’rs legendary reputation, as the ultimate stylist of La Jolla. He was busy and so by default, I ended up having my hair styled by Bethany,. Just outstanding! She has the mastery of the craft and art of hair styling. — she is the real deal.
you will be very satisfied,

This review should have been posted a year ago but has been sitting in my drafts for whatever reason.
Let me say that Chadwinn and his staff are very friendly and the atmosphere of Opulence is great. Like Justin’s review mentioned, they offer you a glass of wine, water or a cappuccino upon arrival. Chadwinn does a great neck message during the shampoo process as well.
BUT I came in with virgin hair and asked for an ombré. It went brassy within four days. My hair was curled when I left the salon but I noticed after the first wash, the inside of my hair had this hideous line of demarcation. I went to back to my previous salon to have my hair color corrected. My hair was initially very dark and I wish someone would have let me know that it would take more than one salon attempt to get the color I wanted; instead of attempting to do it in one shot.

This salon is amazing. The staff are experienced way beyond their years, beyond talented, and hilarious. I always know when I go into get my hair upgraded I am going to leave happy (I am very pick so this is huge) and having had good conversation the whole time. Highly recommend this place.

Opulence delivers! When you walk in you are offered a robe to change into and a complementary glass of wine, water, or cappuccino (which taste excellent by the way) I am a very picky guy when it comes to getting my hair cut, and Chad and his team do such a great job! I usually get my hair cut done by Chad but Kaysha & Daniella also provides outstanding service. Their hair washing and massage are top notch and is very relaxing. The atmosphere they create in the salon is fantastic and I would highly recommend this salon for any of your hair needs for sure!

Chad is the best hairstylist I’ve ever had! I have fine, naturally curly hair and I’ve really had a challenge finding someone who knows how to work with my hair. Chad gives me such great cuts that really compliment my natural curl. I can pretty much wash and wear with minimal effort at styling. He also gives AMAZING neck and shoulder massages during shampoo.
When I first started getting my hair done with him he was at another salon downtown. I am so happy to see that he’s branched out. I moved out of state 1 year ago, but I still plan my visits to San Diego around getting my haircut by Chad!

Amazing place and staff! Hands down the BEST my hair has ever been treated. I look forward to my appointments and love how friendly and knowledgeable everyone is. I have had Chad cut, highlight, and now add extentions to my hair and I have never been happier with how my hair looks in the mirror. The place is a pampering spoiling experience that you don’t want to miss!

Got my hair dyed and cut here by Melissa G. Super friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and great results. My hair looks so fabulous and I’ll definitely be going back! I had a great time with everyone and get compliments on my highlights often.
