Carlton Hair

Francesca is THE BEST. I started seeing Francesca when she was at the Santa Ana Carlton location and followed her to this location because she is so good at what she does. She takes time to really hear what it is that I am wanting, offers valuable feedback and always makes me feel totally confident in what she is going to do with my hair. I ALWAYS leave so pleased with the outcome and receive many compliments on the cut/​color.
I highly recommend this Carlton location, and Francesca as a stylist. You will not be disappointed!

I usually dont write a lot of reviews but I have been going to Maria her for over 10 years and I would not trust my hair to anyone else. I had originally gone to her for color correction and my hair was a mess. She has turned my hair around to healthy and shiny from broken and dry. She gets the color right every single time and my hair is very difficult. I always get compliments from other hair stylist I run into. She is also one of the best people for blow outs. My sister goes to her as well and we both have fabulous hair each and every time.

Chasity is a dreamworker with hands from heaven!
Literally the best shampoo & head massage ever, I had just finished my coffee before coming in and she had me so relaxed I was about to fall asleep during the shampoo (:
I wanted a simple cut and style, my hair had a lot of damage so I just asked for it to be trimmed off and without much direction she worked magic and my hair was soft and healthy again!
Also, 5 stars for actually taking the time to accommodate me when I called on a Saturday looking for a last minute appointment. I had called several other salons in the neighboring area and all of them had immediately rushed me off the phone with, «we’re booked up.»

Very unprofessional staff. I call and make an apt but on the day of my apt I don’t have one. It is missing. My entire info from their system. They front staff is unprofessional and rude. I am sorry for the people that work there since because of her I am sure they end up losing so much business.

Have been coming to this Carlton for over a year now, and haven’t been disappointed, all the staff is friendly but specially my stylist chasity she’s awesome !! Always gets the color am looking for to the perfection and the prices are great, salon always looks clean. I personally think that’s a must for a salon because I’ve gone to others that aren’t so clean and it’s kinda gross to see other peoples hair all over the place, so for me this is a big plus cleanness, good prices & great stylist. Looking for the right girl ask for chasity she won’t disappoint you. Oh and love that from time to time they have promotion on theirs products.

I have become a regular at Carlton Hair because I always leave so happy with the results! Chasity is absolutely amazing. She always listens to what I want and does such a great job executing it. She helped me transition my hair from practically black to blonde all while trying to keep my hair healthy. I would highly suggest Chasity as well as anyone else in the salon they all seem great!

I had been looking for a stylist in the area, as I work there and spend most of my day there. A friend of mine recommended the salon, and Chasity as I told her I am very peculiar with my hair. From the get go, the reception staff was very pleasant, Chasity from the moment she said hello showed her customer service skills, recommended a new haircut, as I wanted a change, shampooed and trimmed my hair with the outmost patience and finished my haircut making sure I was fully satisfied. She even used products that may help my hair look fuller and have more control. Her full experience is top notch. I will go back to her.
The one reason the salon does not get the 5 stars, is because as I got in and sat while Chasity came, I observed what I thought was a guest being taken care by two hairstylists, and this guest was a overly demanding with them, not in a loud voice, but enough that I could notice. All in the sudden, the guest took the blow dryer and finished her hairdo by herself, while the two stylists were mortified watching. At this time, my turn to sit came and I happened to sit next to this guest, who gave me a smile as I sat, then she got up and left. Little did I know this guest was the manager, as I saw her interacting with the crew and guests… Looking at her belittle the two stylists in plain view was the low if my visit. I hope this doesn’t happen again as I am there. Having 75 people under my command, I am one to appreciate their effort, and when someone makes a mistake I counsel the person in private, not in front of guests…

Fabulous experience… not sure what I wanted in cut and color but after consultation with Jade I felt confident enough to let her go ahead. Excellent color with highlights and most relaxing appt. ever! Jade was so sweet and professional will definitely go back. Salon ultra clean and welcoming!

Rhonda does such an amazing job with color, cut, painting, everything. She knows her stuff, so I just give her my thoughts and put it all in her hands. I always walk away feeling and looking fabulous. Book in advance because her books get filled quickly.

I’m looking for my incredible hair dresser Joey (Ramirez?) From Newport OC area in the 80’s. He was slight in build, loved to talk, tons of clients, in 88, he lived in Laguna Beach. prior to that he lived in the apartments overlooking pch near Hoag. He wore a ton of silver bracelets and went to alot of hair shows with hair models. He is superior! Does this ring a bell for anyone? Please help

I am a regular at the Carlton Hair Riverside location and decided to try out this one! I am extremely picky with my hair and Cassidy did such an amazing job with my haircut. She is super friendly and professional and listens to what you want! Absolutely love her and her adorable personality! Definitely coming here again!

Went to Carlton for my first time yesterday with Cassidy which was AMAZING! went it for a cut and some balayage walked out of their feeling extremely satisfied

Jennifer is an amazing stylist for my short haircuts. It’s definitely worth the extra money that you would save paying for a cut at a place where they use machine clippers on the side where you will inevitably have a chunk somewhere too short or where the top doesn’t blend in with the bottom. She takes the time to cut all of my hair with scissors and it comes out immaculate! Every time. She is also very attentive and friendly. It is a very enjoyable experience that I look forward to and now I have my wife coming to her with shoulder length hair and we are both super happy with the quality that she always takes her time to uphold.
They use the best products here and are excellent at listening to you in consultations. They clearly are very well educated on what is best, health wise, for each head of hair and have great advice on coloring and how to keep your hair looking it’s best according to my wife.
Rock on Jennifer we love you!!!

Lindsey Schneider is the BEST!!!
I have been going to Lindsey Schneider for years now and she is the best hairdresser I have EVER been to!!! I have been to so many different hair salons in the past. And before I found Lindsey I always had terrible experiences with my hair being colored wrong, being cut uneven, or the person never listening to what I wanted. I have naturally red/​auburn hair and a lot of times people with red hair have natural fading. Lindsey is the master at coloring hair and especially red hair which is extremely hard to do because there are soooooo many different kinds of shades!
If you want someone: professional, experienced, personable, who listens to what you want, and gives incredible hair cuts, styles, highlights, and color, then go to Lindsey Schneider! She is awesome!

Unfortunately Shanni is no longer with Carlton Hair. She has moved to TEK Salon and Spa. This still remains a wonderful location, and probably the best Carlton salon I’ve set foot in.

I called and scheduled my hair appointment with Anna, she was highly suggested by a friend of mine. Anna is a very sweet lady, I went in and showed her pictures of what I wanted (dark hair with a light ombré) and she did exactly that ! It was a great price compared to other hair salons I was looking in to. I’m really happy with her work and can’t wait to go back in a few months .
I’m very happy I found a great stylist :)

Jennifer Tilzer is beyond fabulous! She knows what she is doing, I found her on Unilocal when I was in search of a great stylist she is very kind, gentle, and professional. I’ve now been at Carlton Hair twice and it just keeps getting better! Jennifer cuts are exactly what I want and perfect for my hair type.
I love that she assessed my hair and how I normally managed it, she’s knowledgeable and attentive with amazing talents in the field.
I am very pleased and satisfied with her job and highly recommend her to all of you out there!

I have been going to Ed for 7 years and my hair looks amazing every time. He makes sure whatever I choose fits my lifestyle and face and it feels super healthy! Love him!!!

Tiffany is my stylist and she is amazing. My hair got so many compliments from random people all the time. She knows what fit best on me and gave me honest opinions of what works and what doesn’t work. Staffs here are also friendly and professional.
They are located across the main mall of south coast, and I have never had problem of finding parking at the parking structure.

Not a place to go if you’re looking for a dramatic cut. Was told they usually get conservative customers and were not use to my request: a-​line bob. I appreciate the effort to achieve the cut I requested but the end product was disappointing. I guess it was cute but not what I had in mind.
Getting home I noticed stray strands that were longer than some and one side was shorter. I was offered to come back the next day to fix it but I figured I wouldn’t take my chances again.
