What Our Customers Say
lisa banks2025-07-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve truly never received so many compliments on my hair—Lara is a total artist! From the moment I sat in her chair, she just got what I was looking for. She listened carefully, made thoughtful suggestions, and the end result was better than I ever imagined. My cut and color are both stunning and effortless to maintain—exactly what I wanted. Lara has that rare combination of technical skill and creative intuition, and it shows in every detail. I walked out feeling confident and refreshed, and the compliments haven’t stopped since. Thank you, Lara!xo Olivia Cannizzaro2025-07-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lara is an absolute artist - she does the best job with my colors, cuts and blowouts! Nobody has ever done a blowout for me the way that she does. Sabrina Gill2025-05-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a brown skin Indian transplant back to Santa Cruz and felt the urge to lighten my hair. I’m grateful I found Lara - she’s a beautiful person inside and out and hair color/cut expert for all skin tones. Lydia Harville2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just got done seeing Lara for the second time. She did partial highlights and a cut on my curly hair. Both times the color and cut have come out beautifully! At one point I got a little anxious that it was going, may be a little too short, but She reassured me by showing how little she had actually cut off and when it was dried and styled it was perfect. She is very personable and really lovely to work with. Very, very happy with the results.! Cheyenne Goodman2025-01-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful lady. Cute intimate salon. Loved my cut. Genevieve Rothwell2025-01-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lara took great care of my hair and helped plan a path forward to achieve my hair goals. I will definitely be returning to her for my hair. Seth Clark2025-01-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lara is awesome, super kind, always on time and listens to what you want. Also a great trait is she’s willing to adjust as needed while she cuts. As a man who’s gone to her for long, shoulder length hair cuts and short cuts, she’s very versatile in all. Suzanne Thomas2025-01-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lara does amazing work! My hair has never been so healthy and looked so good! You will not be disappointed!!
