The Best 20 Hair Salons in Riverside, Riverside (part 2)

Megan Stranak I was referred to Inland Empire hair salon by a friend. I did a lot of research on salons and extensions and I decided to give them a try! I loved how easy it was to book my appointment online and get set up with a stylist so quickly. Ria contacted me directly and we had a consultation. I was booked for my hair extensions appointment in less than a week. The entire process was seamless and quick! I love my hair and the color! Ria did an amazing job! I highly recommend her and her team for hair extensions, color matching and haircuts. They are the sweetest people and make you feel like family!

Emilee_B I had my hair done by the wonderful Sierra!! She always goes all out during my appointments with her. She is so sweet and thoughtful. She will make sure you are comfortable and will go above and beyond. Whenever I go to her, I know my hair will look exactly as I imagined it. Sierra can really make your dream hair come to reality. I like having my hair natural when I leave the salon, and for someone with curly hair that can be a process, but she is always willing to go the extra mile and even uses great and healthy products for my hair!! I cannot recommend Sierra enough, truly.

Realty In Real Estate Ria and her team at IE Hair Co seamlessly added 18”extensions to my hair that was blonde and to my shoulders originally. Add to that the dye job was just as amazing as the blending. They sent me home with the products I needed and taught me how to properly maintain them on my own before I even left. The process was so smooth. The bump up appointments were the same. I couldn’t thank them enough for taking care of me the way they did. I felt beautiful on what I would say was the roughest time in my life. The photos speak a thousand words. I added photos from the first time and the second so you can see it’s just how they work!!! They are the best!!!

Rachelle I would like to say thank you to Maria Santana Owner of Inland Empire Hair Co. My Extensions look amazing. They are light and not heavy on my head . I had a balayage blonde hair service on my natural hair. The extensions color match is on point. Maria all your hard work, your dedication and commitment are truly appreciated . God has given you a gift. Continue to give it your best and keep shining for Jesus!

Renee Ivory Got my nails done by Janice. Ive been going to her for almost 10 years. She always does an excellent job. She hand files my acrylic nails as opposed to using the drill. Shes done in the same hour as the other nail techs would be using their drill. She speaks perfect English! Highly recommended.

Jacque Johnson Love this salon and Megan Mann is awesome! She always does a great job of cutting and coloring my hair!

Holly Miller Janice is a great nail artist, none like her

Irene Duncan Love Peggy she always does a great job on my hair!

Cheryl Wilkins Great time. Perfect haircut. Thank you, Vicky

Cindy R My mom and I love coming here to see Edith, shes been our stylist for years now and we love her to bits. She is so wonderful and accommodating. Shes always on point with our haircuts, colors, and styles. She always makes us feel and look gorgeous. We love her great attitude, the great work she does on us and her fair prices too. We so highly recommend her.

Judy Palma Edith is great at what she does, I have been going to her for a couple of years now and have gone from dark hair back to light and she never makes me feel like theres nothing I can do. Shes very honest with her opinions and always tells me what looks best. Something you seldom get with other hairstylist. Ive had my hair long all my life, and Edith was the first person I trust to cut my hair, and the only one, she makes sure of what I want before she cuts. Shes also a great person and hilarious. I always have a good time going to her. Its like spending time with a good friend while doing your hair.

Arcelia Garcia Ediths work is amazing. I love that she takes the time to explain what she is going to do to your hair to assure she meets clients needs and desires. Her work is always professional.

María Urías Edith is an amazing hair professional, very ethical I have never been discontent with her work! I also had been going to do my hair with her since 2003. I strongly recommend her, You would not regret it! Love her..

Jonathan Grijalva Edith, is amazing! My wife raved about how Edith takes her time and is very detailed in everything she did to my wives hair! Edith is the only person my wife trust with her hair and Edith did a full cut and highlights that were perfect and exactly the color she wanted straight from a picture my wife had found online. She also provides you with snacks and drinks while you wait and get your hair done which is an awesome touch. Trust me, if you are looking for someone new that you can trust with your hair Edith is your girl!

Im Just Saying Awesome place. All the stylists take their time and give recommendations on what works for your hair. They really have a passion for their business. Edith is amazing. She just did a balayage on my teenager that looks so natural.

Heavenly Wagner Absolutely love this salon! Edith really is the best for all types of hair needs, I recently went full copper with her and my boyfriend has also gotten great curly cuts by her. She really understands hair and recommends whats best for you!

Serena Lopez I have been coming here with my daughters for the past 4 years! We have gotten all the colors of the rainbow down to base colors and balayage. Edith is amazing at wild and she is amazing prim and proper! She knows how to handle all hair types and knows how to make you feel at home! I do not let any other scissors or paint brush touch our hair, we highly recommend!

Niharika Singh Loved this place. It was first time here. Marcela attended me. I showed her the reference for how I want my haircut. She paid attention and made sure that I am comfortable and in good hands. The end result was exactly how I wanted it. Marcela did a very good job. Definitely will visit again.

Tony Herrera CARRIE has been coloring my hair for 16years, I would not trust my hair to anyone else, I have alot of thick hair and continue to receive compliments over the past 16 years, patty h

Emily Jones I got a haircut and color.

Maria Rivero Elva cut my hair, she did a great job!! I love it!!

Cristina Miranda Janice is great at what she does. I’m so happy with my hair. My hair was frizzy and out of control, but now it’s so sleek and easy to manage. I save so much time getting ready. I’ve gotten 2 treatments so far. Highly recommend. She is friendly and makes the experience pleasant.

Jacqueline Del Castillo Janice has been excellent since the very first text I sent her. She responded quickly and had an extensive conversation about my preferences and needs-- I could tell she really cared about the health of my hair, as well as focusing on what I wanted. Ive had a few Brazilian Blow Outs and have had a great experience. They last me a few months and pricing is very fair. I appreciate how Janice takes pride in her work and she takes her time to make sure things are done right. Thank you Janice!

Lori Esler I love janice! She always listens to me and works with me and gets my hair to exactly the way I want it to be- every! Single! Time! She is a good honest woman, she explains everything completely so that I dont freak out. And shes right every time! I have a busy schedule she has a busy schedule- but she always works it out to fit me in whenever she can! I love her and she is the best Ive been going to her for about 4 years.

Annette Bingham Ive been coming to Janice for my color, Keratin blowouts, trims, and beautiful tape-ins for a few months now. I have not been disappointed with any service of her whatsoever! So much so, that now my teen is coming to her for Keratin, trims, and color also (and you know how hard teens are to please). My teen is so happy! Weve found our new happy hair place with Janice! Shes got what we need, and is the sweetest person. My husband has come to her also. Very much would recommend her for the whole family, she is experienced and still stays updated on the latest trends.

Sairy Hawley I have been going to get my Brazilian blowout treatment with Janice for over a year now. I absolutely love her! My hair is so smooth after I see her!! The treatment lasts longer than anywhere else I’ve ever gone to. She recently also started doing my highlights along with color correcting another stylists wrongdoing. She always goes above and beyond! She is also the best in accommodating my busy schedule! Thx Janice !

Kat Starzhinskaya Horrible customer service. Booked my appointment for 10am with Clarissa and ended up being left to wait for over 30 minutes. Not only did she take her sweet time talking with the clients around she then decided to do another haircut before she even attempted to service me. Ended up leaving as I will not be wasting my time or money on someone with no regards to my time or other appointments I may have during the day. Was extremely disappointed with the lack of respect for their clients time when we’re spending a pretty penny on their services.

EMC Colmar The review is overdue. I don’t mind driving 45 mins to this Salon because I know I’ll be satisfied with the results. Extremely easy to book an appointment, they are pretty good at sending reminders; However if you cannot make it make sure to cancel on time. I understand why this is necessary as there’s is a waiting list The staff is very attentive. In my opinion the owner has greatly selected great professionals they all have great knowledge and experience The shampoo experience was delightful, the salon has great music, and extremely sanitary , love the vibe and all the plants. Prices are reasonable, i’m ok paying more to have it done properly and not ruin my hair in some cases you get what you paid for and this was well worth it. My hair continues to grow healthy and beautifully Ask about hair treatment … works wonders Thank you so much

Paulina Rivera Unfortunately, she’s not currently taking any new clients, but Mariely is extraordinary. She is amazing at what she does. You can tell in her work just how passionate she is about it. She is always there to listen to what you want, but will also be honest about your hair goals. She walks you through the process and your happiness is her priority. She will make sure you absolutely love your hair. From taking a break for about 5 years, to blonde, and now red, she has exceeded all my expectations. I get so many compliments on my hair everywhere I go. Let’s not forget the studio. The vibes are immaculate, it’s peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect ‘me time’ place. She designed it all so thoughtfully, you will love it. The whole trim studio team is awesome. You will not regret booking with them.

Rosemary Lopez Absolutely love Mariely! (the owner) She always makes magic happen and leaves my hair feeling silky and healthy! I absolutely love her work and the salon is flawless and clean! *photo before and after

Alyssa Marchan Got my haircut with Clarissa and she did amazing! Great service. She made me feel so comfortable and ensured I left with the cut I wanted, having me look and feel my hair throughout the process.

Mack McRodgers Sylvia is freaking awesome! I must be genetically lucky, because to find such a mind reader is just dumbfounding! I went from long curls to Ron Burgundy, and she just did it. I get looks from the ladies all day after a fresh cut from Sylvia. Thanks!

Raven McCoy Great service everyone there is so nice.

Sue Scott Great as always

Karyn Kolstad If you are looking for a great hair cut I go to Donna. Ive been going to her for a long time. She runs under Hair by Donna. The salon she works out of is nice has a lot of space and does offer different things. Donna cuts and colors hair. Love what she does for my hair which is fine but a lot. Tell her Karyn send you.

Rosie Martinez Ann is amazing! I would not go anywhere else for my nails and pedicure!

Foxx Fawnley I just got about 6 in of my hair cut off here and I feel so much better wonderful people great service super friendly also they do a great job cutting hair LOL

Judy Young Sadly had to have my Long pretty blond hair Cut off. Did not tell Karla any hair style to Create but she did an Amazing job family and neighbors all Have compliment the New look.

New girl did not work Out for me , kept holding up pieces of Hair asking me how Much to cut ; thats After I showed her that I wanted same Style just trim. Will not go back until They get another,if Then Very bad hair Cut:( Yikes

Melodie Sevilla I moved to the East Coast last year and have flown back to CA 3 times in the last 9 months to have Carmen do my hair. She always knows exactly what I want and its worth every cent to me to come back to Ca and have her work her magic.

Noor Prince Got my bangs done today I was so nervous but the woman was so sweet and encouraging and made me really happy and did such a great job! Great price too

Nora Gutierrez Love this salon. I have been a customer for over 20 years, and they are very nice and professional. Thanks to Carmen for keeping this place forever the best.

Machelle Bailey Elva did my color and Brazilian Blowout. She did an excellent job and I recommend her. The shop is nice and everyone is friendly.

renee clark Excellent! Nice environment, friendly. Sherri Vasel is the best, her work is above and beyond! Best colorist ever!

Donna Sohovich Elva is such a talented cosmologist. She cares about her clients and she listens. I LOVE MY HAIR!

Lisa F I love this salon!! Stylists are friendly and know their stuff. I love my cut color and blow out. Elva and Sherry are the best. Thanks Ladies!!

Clarke Prescott Marie Peacock is an expert. I always get a great haircut. And a great conversation.

Susie Johnson Absolutely fantastic. Beautiful place and very clean! All stylists are very professional and extremely friendly, especially Cindy.

Debra Stiffler What a fabulous place to get your hair done or your nails or if you might need some waxing. It is just so pleasant to walk in and every one that is busy making people beautiful, welcomes you. I highly recommend the Brockton Hair Salon.

Phyllis Wood The clients are required to wear masks but some of the hair stylists wear only face shields or walk around with no mask on. My hair stylist Marie follows all the regulations but I don’t feel safe in the facility. Even the salon owner has her mask below her nose!

Antwoine Taylor I’ve been going to different barber shops, and a lot of them made me feel uncomfortable, and unwelcome. I decided to try a salon for the first time for my beard. I’m glad I decided to come to this salon! The stylist I had was very nice, he paid attention to detail, and made sure I was happy with the results of my beard trim. I definitely will be back soon! Thank you for being kind, and professional!

charul shukla I liked the kids haircutting services. The pricing is also affordable.

Deeps Shirsath- Jamdade We went there to get haircuts for my husband and 11 year old son. I HAVE TO MENTION THIS - Their prices start $15, which I don’t think anywhere else in Riverside. Both haircuts were done in about 15 minutes, the stylist asked the details of how we wanted it and was thorough. The place wasn’t crowded but we called ahead for appointment just in case. They also do women’s haircuts, makeups, styles and henna as well, the guy said.

Maddy Amaral Shelley is the best! She is a materful mixer of colors. Always matches exactly what I want and cares about the integrity of my hair. Its a drive for me but dont mind doing it for this lady!!!

Patti Reynolds Spencer does a wonder job cutting & coloring my hair. I trust him to give me the professional look I need for work that can also be turned casual for off time. I recommend this salon!

Caleb Van Setten This salon has definitely had major improvements in the last year and a half. The owner has done a major cleanup of the employees and really has some winners in there now. The salon itself has had a major refreshment of the paint, booths, and light fixtures. When you go in, ask for Tim; extremely professional, well dressed, and knows his stuff big time. I have a really difficult hair growth pattern where my sides grow forward and my top grows straight out. He had no problem whipping it into shape. I was a little skeptical going to this salon at first after reading the reviews, but a friend recommended it so I risked it. I will not be going elsewhere! The experience was THAT good.

Deborah Hardeman Spencer is a nice person, and a great stylist.

Leticia Lopez Garcia Lindsey is great, she always does a amazing job. She did highlites in my hair and with no breakage . She really makes sure your hair is cared for. Thanks Lindsey!!

Mia Young I made an appointment with Jasmin on instagram for 5:30p and put down a $25 deposit to hold my spot. Since I work in Rancho Cucamonga, I was going straight there after work because I wanted the soonest available appointment and this was my first time going to see her. I had never been in the area before but I arrived at 5:30 where I was told by Jasmin that it would only be a couple minutes. However, I see a client in her chair with her hair still wet and she was in the process of cutting. I wasn’t told much else but I thought it wouldn’t take long since that was what I was told. I wait 40 minutes and she is only halfway done with blow drying the clients hair. Since it was already 6:15 I told her I needed to go as that was not my only errand that night. I received nothing but her asking if I wanted to reschedule to which I declined. It was very upsetting and frustrating as I had already made a financial commitment (a deposit I did not get back) and my time was wasted from the hour commute to get to the salon and the 40 minutes I waited and received no service. The lack of professionalism and communication was the biggest problem. I thought Jasmin posted beautiful work on social media but I could not commit to a stylist that did not tell me she would be over 15 minutes late to my service and offer to make the situation right. Very disappointed in Jasmin and the salon, I hope others have a better experience.

Project Jon Amazing salon and people. Perfect place to get your hair done. Alan is the best in Riverside.

Luis Macedo I love this place its so professional and everyone is so nice to each other highly recommend if you want a good haircut. Love this place honestly such a friendly environment and you workers look like they enjoy doing there job.

Italia Bautista Lavish Beauty Suite is a 5/5 experience, friendly hair stylists, great atmosphere. If its possible to rate it 6/5, I would because of April. My experiences with her were amazing, not just a great stylist, but overall as a person. I came in looking for a cut and coloring job and I left being able to recognize the person in the mirror and feeling good about myself. I trust April with my hair 100% and she takes the time to get to know you and your vision for your hair and executes it perfectly each time!

Johanna Silva I absolutely love how Samantha and Flor treat, color my hair all the time.

Jennifer Henry I loved my haircut and balayage with Samantha today. Booking and consult was easy and she was extremely clear with her communication. I also really appreciated her moving my appointment to an earlier time because I forgot I had dinner plans and hour away. I colored my hair black 9 months ago and she was able to get me to a caramel no problem! Shes also super sweet and really understood what look I was going for.

Elysa Martineau Samantha was absolutely amazing! She was extremely thorough during the consultation, making sure that she was giving me what I wanted but also something I was confident in styling by myself with my busy lifestyle. She was efficient and accommodating, ensuring I was comfortable during the whole appointment. She also gave plenty of maintenance and styling tips. Highly recommend!!

Studio B Samantha was amazing! My hair was too blonde and chunky. I am a low maintenance client. I do not want to be in the chair every six weeks. Samantha listened to all of my thoughts, had great ideas, and 100% delivered. I loved that she talked me through my hair habits, routines and desires. Worth every penny.

Kayla Arredondo I tried their walk-in service. Its limited for usually dry bar styling. Most extra services are obviously by appointment only. My immediate service was not available because of time constraints and events leading me there. I think they should consider specialized immediate services. I Unfortunately walked out embarrassed.

Harry Franco My wife loves this salon. Great cuts and affordable.

E Choe Same day appointment was available when my schedule opened. Friendly service with job well done.

Samuel Choi I tried the place and it was terrible, they ruined my hair super bad and she didnt even listen to us. I wanted my hair to have bangs but she kept telling me I should get my hair a different way I didnt like. but I kept telling her but didnt listen to me. The damages were already done so I just let her do it. That was my biggest mistake

Alex Park Great haircuts, fair prices! My go-to place nowadays.

Koa Kane wife and i have coming here for years. always satisfied.

Stephanie Meza Very unprofessional. I went with an appointment and the lady was getting her nails done. I waited 30 minutes and left because she was no where near done

maria alvarado Rebecca is blessed with a special talent. Very passionate about her trait. Who takes pleasure when providing services for her customers.

Mannie C The owner of the place is nice, cuts my sons hair great. I tried another one of the ladies, told her I was growing my hair and only wanted about 1/4 inch cut and she cut too much

Patricia Quiroz-Alfaro Very professional bilingual stylists. I love Rebecca. Stylists are very skilled at updos and long hair. Mine is short and I get ap many compliments. Highlights, color, cuts. They do it all!!

George Boyd Dominique was great with my daughters hair. She showed us what to do for after care and made sure my daughter was comfortable throughout. Her pricing was fair and accurate for the amount of the time it took. The shop is very clean and classy. Plenty of places to sit while waiting. The other hair dressers are nice and professional. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good shop that knows their stuff.

Trice Green Really nice place, very cleanI truly love getting my hair done better by Dominique.

Jordan Jackson Very nice stylist but they say they can do a style come to find out they can’t. My hair didn’t even last a day. When you mold something it’s suppose to stay. Also from the press out my hair is damaged and permanently straight on one side. It won’t convert back. I also called the owner, he said he would talk to her about about giving me a refund because it makes the business looks bad & I haven’t got a call from the stylist or the owner not even an apology. Very unprofessional. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Brittney Bray Rozella made is feel right at home.. my daughter has natural hair and she new exactly how to handle it.. Rozella was on time and very attentive to my daughters need!! Shes a great stylist with a great personality!! We will be back!!

Tiffany Barnes Donielle is the best!!! My hair is always perfect. All the ladies that work there are equally talented. You cant go wrong coming to this salon.

Stephanie Just got my hair done at an amazing salon. If youre looking for a star quality cut with a reasonable price, go to Brandi & Friends!!! I cant believe theyve been here all my life, just a few minutes from my house but I never thought of checking them out until now that Ive been searching for a new salon. I read people who went to my college came here and had some great things to say about it, and I found that they were right. Ill be coming here from now on! The stylist Leticia really took her time cutting my hair and getting it to the perfect shape, every layer, professional and focused but pleasantly chatty and friendly. My hair looks beautiful, she gave me exactly what I asked for when I showed her my reference pics. Shes amazing! I give this place 123456789+ stars, A+!!!! I LOVE my hair, and even my family members are saying this is the best haircut I have ever gotten. I couldnt agree more, Im so happy. So talented, kind, caring and they know what theyre doing! Leticia asked me which ways I like to part my hair, angled my botched bangs from 3 months ago so theyd grow into a pretty face-framing layer piece, put in lots of beautiful layers... I feel fantastic! Thanks Brandi & Friends!

Lynette Atchley Megan Mahoney is my hair stylist. She does an excellent job with both cut and color. Everyone there seems very friendly and I see great work being done on happy clients as I walk through the salon. Definitely go.

Sherril Vollmer Being going here for almost 2 years and I love it. Every one is very friendly and Megan is my hair stylist. I love her.

Priscilla Vasquez Megan is the only person I trust with my hair. I went to various salons for a while, but I couldnt find a stylist I liked so I did my hair myself for years. Then someone recommended Megan and I have been with her for almost six years now! She always fully executes my hair suggestions I bring her, takes care of my hair and keeps and healthy, and is a great conversationalist as well. I cant imagine having anyone do my hair ever again!

Maritza Ramirez I absolutely loved my experience here! Adriana was very professional, and she did an amazing job with my hair! She helped educate me about my hair, which I found to be knowledge worth in gold! Im so happy I found this place and I will 100% be coming back!

Tyler I would highly recommend NOT to COME HERE!! They are rude when you say you dont like the outcome of your hair. I spent over $300 for my wifes hair, and she did not like it. She showed the picture to the stylist of what color she wanted. She then said yes I can get it that color. After the hair was done, my wife did not like the color. Then the stylist said well that photo was photoshoped. We contacted the owner Ashley and she was rude and refused to help the next day to fix her hair. My wifes hair is extremely dry was left patchy with color. Left with dark roots when she didnt want dark roots. Just an all around bad service. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING ELSEWHERE. They stylist name was Kayla.

theresa calhoun I called salon on and asked for a suggestion as to which stylist can cut my hair and they gave Adriana and I’m glad they did’ My hair was over layered and butchered she took her time and fixed and blended each section at a time and the color and cut is so beautiful I have the sassy bob I wanted. I highly recommend Adrianna , she is highly skilled

Janice Reeve I love, love this shop! Especially Lisa! I always feel like a new person after seeing Lisa. She not only does the perfect color and cut she styles my hair better than anyone!
