Streaks Salon

I went to Streaks for the very first time-​and Laura said that she is the owner and she will do my hair since the woman I asked for she said no longer worked for her. I showed Laura the picture that way I wanted my hair. I told her I do not want my hair blonde or too light because my hair takes color well. I also told her– I do not want it dark. I was very specific with the way I wanted my hair and the whole time I had the picture while she was doing my hair. She left me too long under the drier and I had the feeling that it will be too light– I told her-​she did not listen. I did not say anything because she is the «expert.» And it was too light. I had indicated to her that she need to tone down because it was too light – but I still want my highlights. Again, she left the toner too long because she keeps talking on the phone. Again, I told her– I do not want my hair dark and I want highlights since this is what I am paying for. She said” No-​Im leaving it longer.” My hair is too dark– with no highlights and when I told her to fix it she said the light in salon is dark and if I want more highlights call her in 2 days. I knew I should not paid her because this is not way I want my hair. I called her– she made appt to correct it-​but she changed her mind and gave me some excuse why she can’t. She said she will refund me instead– I am still waiting for a refund-​I hope she do what she says-​and not give me the run around again. Do not go to this salon– esp do not let Laura do your hair!

I have gotten my hair done at Streaks Salon many times. I like that I can go in and get my hair done and it always comes out looking great. I personally recommend Lupita, and Gaby, they always take the time to complete your hair.

Don’t come here. Gossipy betches. This place should shut down.

if i could rate lower then 1 i would, i have came here once before & my last experience was just «OK», i don’t know what made me give it another shot, but i did hoping that it it would be better, but i was wrong, i went in on 07/​01/​2013 & got there sometime around 1ish, sat in the chair and quickly discovered Gaby was DRUNK off her a**, Laura (Gaby’s mother in law) was talking to her in Spanish saying stuff like «at least your drunk and NOT pregnant» they Gaby takes me over to have the dye taken off my hair, I sat on that chair for like an hour (no joke) by myself, waited & waited and its almost like they forgot about me, then to top it off, Gaby was too hungover to finish my hair, so Laura took over & was talking away with all the other stylists about personal and unprofessional things. I asked to have my hair straightened, my hair is curly so i knew it was gunna take a while, midway through my hair, Laura sort of gave up, she didn’t care about the way my hair looked, so she wasn’t even trying. she was even frying my hair!!! needless to say, i ended up having to straighten it myself in her salon, after a while i got tired of it and decided to just pay and leave. i paid $ 110 for a crappy job, i got hone & my grandmother who is an avid hair dyer was there & looked right at my hair & said «i hope you didn’t pay for that» when she got a closer look at my hair, and was super upset, not only did i have massive amounts of dye still in my hair, but my hair looked SUPER damaged & certain spots on my head weren’t even dyed! its been 14 days since i got my hair done and I’m still drenched in dye no matter how many washes i have done, i have all these stained shirts and pillow cases, when i wake up and do my hair in the morning, i stayed the WHOLE day with dye stained hands, when i called the day i got my hair done to let them know about all the dye everywhere, they offered me 1 wipe to take off the stains, then when i said i wont drive down there for a SINGLE wipe, she offered me 2 & then made it seem like it was my fault. I’m SO unhappy & i will never return or recommend to anyone!
!!!DO NOT GO HERE!!!

I used to go to the salon across the street but stopped going when i heard Laura was gone. So happy I found her just across the street at Streaks! I believe it was Lupita that first did my hair which looked amazing then in walked Laura, I was so happy! She always has a good eye on how my hair should look and seems her coworkers do too.

The wonderful Gaby does my hair here. She is great! The first time she did my hair she listened to what I wanted, cut it great and remembers me when I come in. Having curly hair, its hard to find a professional like Gaby. I am lucky she is at Streaks!

Love getting my hair done by Gabs! Let’s see what we come up with today! New streaks?! Or just a trim?! Hmm…

I met the new owner Laura when she came into the nail salon I go to in the same strip mall. I all ready had a stylist in another salon up the street. After a disastrous perm I got this past November I went to Streaks to get a quote on how I could get my hair corrected. Laura was very pleasant and I told her I would come back in a few weeks. I went back and was taken care of by Lupita (Very friendly and caring). She colored and gave me a good conditioner, waxed my face and used a flat iron to gave me a very nice new look. The next day I went back and had a young girl do my make-​up and another young lady combed and styled my 2 granddaughters hair for our annual Christmas pictures. These ladies are all soft spoken but very professional and polite. Today I went back for my third visit and I was not disappointed! All of the people here are wonderful!!! I have found a new place for hair needs. Lupita especially takes her time and does an excellent job! She tells you that when you are with her, it is your time to relax and be pampered. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone!!!

WARNING**
DO NOT COME HERE!
I was looking for a salon in south bay. comming from east county.
It was a few days before xmas and my hubby wanted to do something nice for me, I told him I wanted my eyelashes done (semi-​permant) 65 $ was a reasonable price for” real lashes” I went in and was greeted by a woman named Laura, the owner. She qouted me 65 $ I said ok proceeded to get them done. The girl that did them dident introduce herself for one, for two she dident know much english. Thirdly I shoulda ran for the hills when she pulled her insraments outa the drawer. Needless to say they looked droopy like I had a lazy eye! When I went to pay the girl tried to charge me 85 $ I quicly responded with I was qouted 65 $!!! Then the said oh .ok. I went home that nite and an eye lash. Had fell out! Uugh frusterating. Went the next day and of corse she wasent there so a lady named Lupita help me. She fixed them so they werrnt droopy. And added a few more. Today is the third day and three more fell out. My left eye is swollen from the glue. and called, Back to ask for Laura and she of corse wasent in. Her cell phone was shut off… her son answered and tried to get ahold of her. When I called back another girl answered and acused. Me of scratching my eye too much! Like wooow really. I haven’t yet to talk to Laura but you best believe I will be revisit the salon to get my money back ! if not, this salon will be all over twitter and facebook! I wouldent have even gave the one star but Unilocal requires it. NEVER. GET LASHES DONE HERE THEY ARE NOT REAL. ARNEL IS SALLYS BRAND! «Spoken from a stylist!»

Had my hair done here and its all perfect as I expected. Notice the pink pole where they play if there is no customer in the house.

So where do I even begin, my oh my!!! Okay lets start off saying I have thick long hair. I have never been to beauty school, but I have been coloring my hair myself for quite a few years on my own. My cousin was going all out wanted a different look for the new spring season going from black to a light brown, okay so me having had my hair the same color for sooo long thought hmm I will make a change wanted to go from a black redish to a more saucy hot red I know it is possible seen it done before… We were both greeted by a gossipy, seemed rather nice woman named Laura. Right off the bat we were both told our services would be roughly 90 dollars I told her what I wanted she did come through the color was nice blew dried my hair somewhat tried to style it and then POW hit me with a tab of 130.00 not including her tip WHAT how did that happen, it was late, I was tired, my Husband had been home with our kids for way to long so I just paid and left. The next days I noticed she totally forgot to color my hair in the front WHAT for paying that much money come on… really. I went back to the spot showing her what she forgot was ushered to a dirty seat in the back of the salon and placed with hair dye and left there for way to long til I asked «hey do you think it is time to take it off?» To top it all off my touch up was not at all close to the color on the rest of my hair I was Bozo the Clown until I colored it myself!!! She was so rude that second time seeming very offended by me going back to have the front done after she is the one that missed it. My Opinion Never go there they over charge, not professional, Not that clean, and certainly lack skills!!!

Hell. no.
Laura, the new «manager» came over from More Styles just across the street. She’s the same snarky, gossiping stylist, just with more of an attitude now that she’s a manager. Now, I’m a white girl. Not gonna lie, but I do speak/​understand enough spanish to get me by. She didn’t know this and I never revealed it – but there was plenty trash talking about me while I was in the chair.
I’m really disappointed. The only reason I went to streaks is because I was following my stylist who followed Laura. Biggest.mistake.ever. I used to get great service, and not let anyone else touch my hair. My last experience was a nightmare. I wanted to go from brunette to blonde with brown low – lites. Yea, I got a mix of orange, red and brown. I got this new «style» the day before I went on a week long trip, and I had to keep my hair in a pony tail the entire time. To top it off, what I used to pay $ 100 for, is now $ 200 at «Streaks» (come to think of it, that’s what I had in my hair. tricolor STREAKS.).
The prices aren’t posted – its $xxx and up. So. my service was posted as $ 75 and up…$ 200? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? After 5 years of using my stylist, I never had a problem until Laura interjected to add her coloring expertise, and ruined my hair. I was shaking I was so mad. They said to come back and have «toner» added. Let me tell you, toner would not have fixed my hair. I hate to say it, but she saw me pull up in a decent car, dressed nicely, and figured she could take me for a run for my money. Looking back, I should’ve refused to pay, especially seeing how ruined my hair is. But I had my child with me and did not feel like getting in a dispute with her.
DO NOT GO HERE. I went to a Paul Mitchell salon and got my hair completely redone for $ 85. Where this chic gets off charging $ 200 for a color and trim is beyond me. I’m surprised if she’s even had formal training.

I had a 10:00 am appointment, arrived on time and the shop was closed! I waited till 10:30, no one showed up. I called and left a message for someone to please call me back. 11:00 am no call back, I call them. They said they had the times mixed up and were busy doing someone else’s hair! I said what about my appointment? They said «you’ll just have to wait 30 minutes». I get there and the hairdresser (BLANCA) is blow drying and styling her own hair!!! I finally sit down and she talks to me for over 30 minutes about my hair, Not nice conversation but bad mouthing the last person that did my hair, asking about the color in my hair, going on about things that did not make sense to me. Isn’t this the whole reason we go to salons and pay someone else to do our hair? I just wanted a touch up, that’s it, no big deal! She was going on and on about all the color’s I had in my hair and how difficult it would be and suggested she strip my hair for $ 100 PLUS the $ 80 for highlights! THIS WAS OUTRAGEOUS AND SO UNPROFESSIONAL! This was the WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Since when is getting your hair done so DIFFICULT! I would never step foot into that salon again or recommend them to ANYONE!

The lady that did my hair was okay with English. I told her I wanted bangs, and she gave me STRAIGHT bangs when my haircut was totally thinned layered. I was not happy with my haircut.
But a friend of mine said she is better at coloring. I wouldn’t take a risk though, I’d stay true to Tonic hair salon in Mira Mesa =)

This salon is smaller than most and has a busy parking lot so be prepared to fight for parking as the salon is located in a busy shopping strip.
The customer service at the salon is mediocre — it’s not excellent but it’s not poor. I’d say it’s pretty average.
All of the stylists are fluent in Spanish and there’s only one stylist that doesn’t speak English very well. Despite her lack of English speaking skills, she’s the BEST stylist in the salon hands down. I’ve gone to her twice now and I always bring a magazine picture of the hairstyle that I want. She nails it every time.
The prices for service are reasonable as well. A regular haircut is $ 15 and a color is usually $ 30 and up (depending on length).
My hair is roughly 3 inches past my shoulder and last week I got my hair layered and colored (partial color) for $ 65.
For all new clients that are in need of color services, they ask you to fill out a card so when you come back for your next visit, they know what color they used last time.
