The Best 5 Hair Salon in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA (part 2)

Maggie Johnson We were staying at Lobos Lodge Memorial Day weekend. The new lady - Kim gave me a beautiful layered cut. I have fine, but a lot of hair and on a whim felt like cutting it. She is GOOD! Meticulously going over it where needed. Very happy. But I live in Napa - so am I going to find someone who can do exactly the same??!! Unlikely….. lol. Anyway - you can absolutely trust Kim!! I may just leave it until our return early September.

Lori McCullough Joelle is an artist! What she did with my layered, short hair is incredible! Between her hair artistry and Melissas professional makeup, I felt pampered and beautiful for my anniversary. Besides being masters at their craft, everyone at La Coiffure was warm, personable, and caring. Joelle even fit in my husband at the last minute so that he felt pampered too! Every time we return to Carmel, we will be sure to visit La Coiffure!!

Ronda ZillneR Joelle was so great! The salon is cute, easy to find and its location in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea is ideal. I couldn’t be happier with what Joelle did with my hair—a beautiful blowout. Everyone there was so focused on creating a wonderful experience. I’ll absolutely return next time I visit.

Carol McKibben This place is advertised as a Make-up Salon on Google.I called last week to make an appointment for hair and make-up in anticipation of a black tie event I attended on Saturday. I spoke to the owner who agreed to schedule me for 4:30pm that day for hair and makeup. However, when I arrived at the scheduled time, the shop was closed. By chance the manager of the inn next door arrived shortly after and called the owner of la coiffure who apologized and returned to the shop 15 or so minutes later. Meanwhile, I was becoming stressed about time and being late for the event. He walked in, started running water, and informed me that they didnt even do make-up--the most important reason I made an appointment there. The owner did style my hair in a nice way and in short order. But I had to rush home and throw on some everyday makeup before the event. It was completely false advertising and poor business practice.

Tara Cavanagh Helen squeezed us in last minute (even calling me back on the Sunday before Memorial Day) for a Saturday appointment. I had an early 60s style updo that stayed perfectly on top of my head from 10:30am - 10:45pm! I only took it down during the dirty South hip hop hour of dancing at a friends wedding. That much booty dancing will shake out even the toughest of hairdos. Helens service was impeccable and Ive never had so many compliments! I hope to see her again (and her gorgeous younger version of Karl Lagerfeld coworker) on my next trip to Carmel!

D Mc I was extremely disappointed with my makeup experience at the salon! I booked my appointment for bridal makeup my appointment was at 12:30 for my wedding later that afternoon at 3:30. The experience was horrible! The makeup artist spent the majority of my session applying and then wiping away the makeup she had applied because she didnt like the colors, she did not seem to know what she was doing. I came in with pictures and had full confidence with the salon based on the price point and other reviews and I was very disappointed that my experience was so sub par. At 1:15 she was still trying to apply my eyes and I needed to leave at 1:30, when she finally applied the foundation it was not the color I needed, she had applied a very white foundation to my tan skin. At that point I had to leave the salon to make it on time for my photos without completed makeup. I had to complete my makeup on my own for my wedding. Makeup should not be offered as a service without an experienced makeup artist on site especially for bridal makeup!

Karina Gonzalez-Padilla the rating should speak for its self... whitney did an amazing job on my makeup application. And Bree did great with my hair. This place may be pricey but its worth it...

Wendy B Just got my lashes done with Delaney. She is super sweet and accommodating, my eyelashes are full and look gorgeous. I’ve been getting my lashes done for years and sometimes haven’t had the best result. Delaney did a great job with a professional result . She’s the best !

Debra Iwankovitsch Marcus is incredible. Very professional and asks lots of questions to put you at ease when making a big change. I immediately trusted he would take care of me. The location is warm and inviting, I am definitely returning.

Carolyn Matera Second time I got the 10 minute root touch up and gloss and I could not be happier. Bree did an Amazing job and love my hair!

Rebecca Smith Nassime was my stylist when I lived in CA, and to the day she is the ONLY person who has ever cut my hair to work with the wave instead of fighting it. I miss being able to just throw some product in wet hair, scrunch, and head out the door!
