The Best 7 Hair Salons in Temecula, Riverside (part 4)

Mary Bowlin Busy salon, also does beautiful flower arrangements. I drive 100 miles to get my hair done by Nicole. I have never had my fine, see through hair look so healthy and gorgeous. Worth it

Tracy Liveoak There was an old man hanging out outside of this salon & one of the salon workers too, the old man said because my daughters school is having a fundraiser for mariposa icecream, there will be a bunch of brats inside taking up space, and when I rolled down my windows of my car to say that he shouldnt be saying that, the salon worker flipped me off.

Mia Tope I always have a wonderful experience with Courtney! She follows exactly what I am looking for and is very up to date with current cuts and trends. My hair is always amazing whenever I leave. I have had mix ups with my scheduling in the past (my fault) but she has always been very accommodating and willing to work with me. I love that there is a little flower shop in the salon too, it has a very nice and professional atmosphere

Howard Gabby (Jade) Pros: the stylist I had an appointment with was very friendly and nice. The haircut was decent. Cons: I went to see the “color specialist” Kaitlyn or Kat, expecting to have my hair nicely done for my birthday. This was actually one of the worst bleach jobs I’ve ever gotten done on my hair. I asked for bleach in specific areas and showed her multiple photo references. She seemed confident, so I assumed that she understood what I wanted. She just gave me uneven highlights. Half of my head is more blonde than the other. She didn’t bleach to the root, on my entire head and it’s super noticeable if I put my hair up. I offered to show her the photos multiple times because it seemed like she was just lost. It didn’t look anything like the photo reference I showed her. I asked to have pink added onto the bleach a light pink. And she tried to put hot pink in my hair. Lucky for me I noticed the color was to dark and stopped her before she went through with it. I left the salon with my hair looking like a hot mess. My advice, don’t go to Kaitlyn for color. I have only been there once and that was my experience. I can’t speak for the quality of the other workers there. For color go to a different salon or do it yourself because it will come out 100000% better than whatever Kaitlyn is going to do. Save your money and time folks.

Beth M Fantastic! Ive been to others and there pricing is extremely fair. Luv there new boutique..... What a great experience every time. They always are courteous, and have sweet smiles. The owner does my hair perfect every time I couldnt ask for more :)

Juanita LeBlanc I have been here in Temecula for 2 years now and have finally found someone who knows what I want!! Acappella is wonderful!! Sherri cut my hair just as if she has been doing my hair my whole life!! She is amazing!! As is her whole staff is. I will be back here for sure and will recommend her and her staff to everyone!! And Kevin did my hair color and it came out beautifully!!!! Thanks for making me feel great!!

Lynne Kelly Kevin treats me like royalty! I have been going to Acappella for almost 3 years now and love how beautiful i feel every time I leave. Kevins attention to detail and knowledge of color is truly unparalleled. Tasha, his assistant, is super fun and I always enjoy her quick wit and humor. She gives me the best blow out ever (and my hair is difficult to say the least!). They are a great team!

Emili Steele I cannot rave enough about the amazing cut and color I got from Lynne. She is Deva trained and cut each curl individually and dry to boot! I havent looked this good since I left my favorite salon in NY 10 years ago when I moved to CA. I recommend her to every curly girl I see. I feel like I can finally call CA home now that I have finally found a phenomenal stylist.

Carissa Rapp Kaitlyn is amazing! Been going to her for years! She always does a fantastic job with my color and cut. I drive from San Diego any time I need a cut or color because I wont go anywhere else (once you have had the best it is hard to go anywhere else!) The salon staff is so friendly- it is always a great experience! I recommend to everyone I know. Thank you again for the great look for my new job!

Hailey Bobbe Thank you Kassidy for being so wonderful and staying after close to finish my hair. My mom and I came in today for both color and a trim. When scheduling there was a confusion with the receptionist who had only put us down for a hair cut. Kassidy stayed longer just to make sure we got what we wanted. I highly recommend her! She did so well on my mom and I both. She was so nice, warm, and engaging the whole time.

Lea Savage Emily for cut and full highlights! She takes the time to explain what can work for your hair and is conservative on trimming it - making sure you are completely happy with the results. I had some issues from another hair dye and she was able to correct and lead me down a path to repair! I really like the way I experienced no breakage after my highlights - no fly away - no hair falling out. She is fast and really cares about the outcome for you! Super sweet too!

Amanda Palmer If you want to maintain your hair integrity stay far away from this salon!! You do not get personalized care. Too many new students. I take great pride and have always spent good money on my hair and with one bad service they destroyed my hair! The person who colored it did not know what she was doing and overlaid from my last color and completely fried my hair. I also asked for a blunt straight haircut, and as you can see from the picture, there is nothing blunt or straight about it and you can see how destroyed my hair is. I never asked for layers and always have had smooth and shiny hair. I am beside myself with what was done to my hair!!!

Niq Anderson Cassidy always does an amazing job with me. My hair always looks exactly how i want it and im always asking for things out of the norm. Somehow she pulls all my ideas together and makes it happen despite my lack of ability to explain it correctly. I will never go to another salon. She always takes care of me and my baby when im there and makes me comfortable bringing her with me. Im a mom who never gets out because i have a new baby but she makes it possible. Thank you to Cassidy for going above and beyond.

breannah Not the best hair salon I’ve been too. The workers seem very annoyed and very judgmental. The hair color I asked for was completely different than what I received and I ended up having to get it done somewhere else. It was also yellow. Not to mention BEYOND over priced. I paid over 250 for highlights, which isn’t even what I asked for. I ended up crying on my way home because of how disappointing it was. I love the owner and their family. But the workers just aren’t super happy/welcoming (at least the people I saw that day.) But their clothes are cute!

Yvonne Jenkins I was so excited to get my hair done for vacation and the pictures I gave my Stylist (casie) did not come out to be anything what I asked her to do. I paid $250 and my hair is still brown. I’m so disappointed and then she cancels my retouch up appointment the day before, right before my vacation no apology or anything so bummed

Sandra Perez I love getting my hair done at Salon 29! Stylist Lena Marie always does a wonderful job! She leaves my hair feeling healthy, soft and stylish. She is knowledgeable and professional. I have gone to Lena Marie for root touch up, highlights, and haircut. I get so many compliments on my hair! The salon is clean and everyone is welcoming. Highly recommend! :)

Janina Guzman I was referred to Sharon by my coworker. Shes great. She cut and did highlights. I get alot of compliments. Been going to her almost a year now

Nichole Morgan Ive been going to this Salon for at least 22 years. When they have moved, I follow. Ive had several different hairdressers. Shannon is who does mine, my mans and my sons hair now. Absolutely love her. Sue isnt there anymore, but she still does my nails, 22 years and counting.

Anya Marjanian Extremely overpriced salon! Never ever going back there!!

Sandy Zapien This salon is welcoming the staff is friendly and the salon itself is clean. Alondra helped me with my haircolor, styling and haircut. Its my second time going there and i dont mind the 40 min drive because i promise you its worth it! I 1000% recommend ALONDRA she educates you on your hair and did an amazing job!!!

Kimberly Vanderholst I’ve only had two hair stylists consistently in my entire life so I was scared to try a new stylist but I’m so glad I did!!! Alo is absolutely fabulous!! I can confidently say Alo is the best stylist I’ve ever had! She cut my hair beautifully, gave me hairstyling tips and hair care types that were SO helpful and my hair looked so healthy after the cut! She is the best!!!!

Tara Mores Hello My name is Tara Mores and Im 61. Ive had my hair done by professionals for 4 decades. Lia did my hair. I was so disappointed that I went home crying. I went to the salon to get an ego boost to help with my depression. Before anything, I expressed to her that I didnt want anything resembling red. It was supposed to be a 2 ash blonde colors foil. I was never shown any swatches so I could only describe what I wanted and showed her a couple of photos. I wanted to keep my face framed with the white I already had. I dont know what she was doing but it wasnt what I asked for. The 1st thing she did was use a brush with a dark color and globbed it on my white hair and my face! She used nothing to protect my face of the dye. She used the brush and covered my whole scalp. Once she was done covering my head, she used foils to put the light blonde on. When she was done doing everything, she dried my hair to cut it. This is a 1st I ever seen. She cut my bangs at an angle from a part instead of across the front. Weirdly, Ive never seen it done that way. The blond was only see from the top and behind. Everything underneath and on my face was dark RED!!! I was devastated! I was 1st quoted 300 and told her I couldnt go that high. Im used to getting my hair done for 16 years at $120. I asked if I can get it done for $250 which is still expensive but I trusted her to do a good job. When she was done, she said she was just going to charge me $225. She knew she messed up! I still gave her a good tip. When I got home in looking under different lights, the dark color was indeed RED! My no no color! Ive sent her several messages about taking the color out. She said she was too busy to fix it and never got back to me if someone else could fix it Im out 260 and wearing hats to hide my hair! I cant afford to pay someone else to fix it and am trying to fix it with boxed hair products. I will not recommend anyone using Beauty Mark Salon, especially by Lia! She needs to go back to school!

Jessie Macabales I just LOVE this place because of Rosalie! I came in to have color correction and this lady is so amazing! First of all, I called in today and she happened to have a cancellation so I came in as soon as I could for the opening she had on the spot. My hair needed major TLC after color lifting elsewhere that wasn’t completely done. And Rosalie is so professional that she doesn’t even comment on any hair stylists work, but just does her magic with so much professionalism, knowledge, interaction with my needs and her great personality. Rosalie turned my hair into a salt, platinum and pepper look that I LOVE. I actually walked in with a salt and cinnamon color. I LOVE YOU ROSALIE!!! I will tell everyone how amazing you are and I’ll be back!!! Thanks so much!!!

Constance Castro Luna Had such a great experience with Rosalie! She was so sweet, we had great conversation the entire appointment. And her services were excellent! She listened to what I wanted and had great recommendations. First two pics before, last three are after. I love it!

Joanna Juarez The new Guru Salon in Temecula is the cutest and I love their slogan "Good Hair is so Gangster". Lupe Ramos has been my hair stylist since high school. Shes always up to par with the trends and she always makes me feel good about any crazy idea I have about my hair. The best part is the massage when shes washing my hair color out! Shes definitely a gem!

Samantha Gutierrez If I could recommend any hairstylist it would be Mariah McLain! I have been seeing her for months and after every appointment my hair feels healthy and beautiful! She is so sweet, personable and does an amazing job every time! Go see Mariah and you will not be disappointed!

keira Def recommend this place if you want your hair absolutely fried off by Paige ! Not only did she fry off the hair but gaslit explaining it’s just a big change … like yeah going from very long hair to a bob now is a big change ! She had the nerve to try and charge $500 for her horrible service and ruining years of growing out my hair.

Brianna McGehee Love this salon and have been getting my hair done by Mariah for about 5 years now. She’s so talented from my hair being blonde, adding a fun pop of purple, to my copper red. I always get so many compliments on my hair! The new Guru location is so cute and it’s definitely an enjoyable experience.

Lian Price Ashley did such a fab job on my NBR® Extensions!I have curly hair and so wanted to add in curly 20" extensions, and this is a task that most stylists seem to shy away from – curly hair is intimidating to a lot of stylists. But Ashley knew exactly what to do and exactly how to achieve the beautiful long, thick, curly layered look that I wanted. Additionally, after 17 years of being a blond, I also told Ashley I wanted to dye my hair dark brown. She took the time to really find out what I wanted, to inform and educate me on what it is like to have 3 long rows of extensions attached to my head, the care and maintenance involved, as well as slowing down to really catch my vision, to understand why I wanted to make such an extreme change. I used to scoff at the quote, "Change your hair, change your life," but it is really true.

Me Me I wish I could share the same experience as everyone else. Renee is very pleasant. My hair looks great in the front. I paid her fee left happy and pleased until I got home and look at the back of my head. It was bald. with no shape very embarrassing. That explained why she did not show me the back of my head. It also explained why folks were staring at me. This was the worst experience I ever had and total nightmare because I had to cancel my trip.

Renee K I was new to the area and I first found Renee on Yelp. She had excellent reviews and now I know why. She is very professional, on time and does an amazing job each time with my hair. My hair is not only growing but is healthier too. I get compliments from random people. Thanx Renee.

G S Im not sure what happened but this last time I went in for a color and the stylist started yelling at me and told me to get out. I asked if anything was wrong and she kept screaming that nobody likes me which just seemed very off. It was so bad that another stylist came out after and asked if I was ok andwhy she was yelling at me. She said she could hear her through the doors. Ive been with this salon for years so Im not sure why the sudden change but I wont be back. ****** Renee is a skilled and professional stylist. I have tried to find a hairdresser in my area and failed miserably resulting in bad haircuts and damaged ends, but Renee is a great find! I plan to stick with her services as long as she is in the area. **Scheduling is tough as the app doesnt always show correct availability and there isnt another way to schedule.

erin williams Outstanding service as always. Renee is great and I am always very satisfied with the service.

Denise Redfield My first time going and she did a GREAT job. She literally asked me exactly what I wanted and she didnt mind taking instruction AND I was her only client during my appt time. Would definitely go back!
