Hair Play Salon & Medi Spa

My sisters have had their hair done by Holly a couple times now. I had been a little cautious to try Keratin because I finally had natural, untreated hair. However, after seeing how great their hair reacted to the treatment I decided to try it.
I am now Holly’s biggest fan! She did an amazing job doing my hair. It took about 2 hours, which I hear is pretty standard for this particular treatment. I followed her instructions and did not wash, workout, or tie my hair for a full 48 hours. After I washed my hair the first time, I saw instant results. I have really thick curly hair that I blow-​dry every other day. It was taking me anywhere from 30 – 50 minutes just to blow-​dry my hair straight and then I’d spend another 15 minutes styling. However, with the Kertain, it now takes me 15 minutes to blow-​dry and style my hair. It has saved me so much time! Not to mention my hair looks and feels healthier and it has a natural shine to it. I’ll definitely come back to see Holly once the treatment wears off.
Holly deserves a full five stars. I’m giving the salon four because the salon itself is cute but nothing like some of the others I’ve been to. However, you can tell that the people that frequent Hair Play don’t care about the aesthetics of the salon, and instead are loyal customers.

Ask for Marina to do your hair and/​or thread your eyebrows. Always the best service from her. I chose a very intricate hair style for Marina to conduct for my prom and I had so many compliments! Will post the picture. She’s the best!

First time here following my hair stylist Yolanda.
Place is nice as parking was easy, and Yolanda amazing (as usual) with my long heavy hair :)
Yolanda is a great professional, as a Brazilian I can attest her Brazilian blowout is authentical. Thank you Yolanda, see you next time :)

My first time here, following Laleh G. (formerly of Vintage Beauty/​The Purple Salon) and her excellent service and amazing skills!

My eyelash experiences were always pretty mediocre with Helen, however endured because of the low prices. If you go to her expect her dragon breath in your pace throughout the service with her farting mom close beside you as well, in that cramped up room. To me this was tolerable because her prices seemed unbeatable. However, this changed quickly when I could no longer put up her unprofessionalism and me improvising on her short comings of her service (small room, stinky breath, unorganized booking). You will only be a phone number in her book, so don’t be surprised when you are confused with another customer or not reminded of your appointment until she’s ready for someone else to take your place. Normally one doesn’t count on being reminded of your upcoming appointment but she began doing this since I started seeing her so throughout the year I got used to it because usually booked. So when she didn’t communicate with me and blamed me, she didn’t have a gram of PROFESSIONAL COURTESY to admit she hadn’t called/​texted (maybe she did another appointment) the day before to confirm my appointment. If I don’t find the same price she charges some place else, I’ll pay whatever it is knowing its from someone who has a clean environment to work in and conducts themselves in a professional manner. Being cheap isn’t worth dealing with that nonsense anymore.

This review is soley for Helen’s Eyelash Extensions.
My gf and I have been getting our eyelash extensions with Helen for close to 3 years now. I don’t know why I didn’t write a review sooner.
The prices are great and the lashes last till the real ones fall out. The salon is cute but not as chic as some newer ones along the Blvd., but it’s always busy with their loyal clients. Helen rents a room in the back of the salon.
I’ve never had a problem with my extensions and always gets compliments and people asking me about them. That is why I keep coming back. :-)
I like mine at 100% at all times so I come for touch ups every other week but some people wait 3wks to 2 months with no problem. During the fill she cuts off the grown out lashes and replaces them with new ones while adding more to fill in any gaps. My thin natural lashes grow really fast so my extensions always need to be replaced. When the real lashes get too long, the extensions will limp and twist.
The times I’ve gone to other places to get my lashes done I would have to wait 24 hours to get them wet. Maybe bc I’m a seasoned pro with this lash thing now or bc the glue Helen uses is really good, but I am able to shower if I wanted to an hour after.
$ 40 for 2 week touch up and $ 50 for 3 weeks. Appointment time is anywhere between 30 – 45 minutes. I don’t see why other places need a whole hour for a fill if they know that they are doing. The lashes are also real hair, not plastic.
Free parking in the lot in the back is a plus, but one down side is that the weekend and week night appointments get filled fast and she is not able to accommodate last minute or 1 day notice scheduling.

I have been going to Holly to get my hair done for years! She does quality work with reasonable prices. She is amazing!

It was my first time getting my eyelash extensions. Chose Helen as a referral. She made me an appointment for two weeks later. Thinking that she must be really good that she is busy I was happy to go to her. When I got there she was in the middle of working on someone else. She rushed over to me and just asked what length. Then I was done half an hour later cuz someone else was waiting. It didn’t look as full as I wanted it but I read before that for the first time I should take it easy. The customer service was really poor. Then 5 days later my lashes tarted hurting and I could feel the glue crumbs. Horrible. Went to her and she spent 2 mins. They were all falling off and she didn’t even offer to fix them and just cut some of the glue saying that it was glued too close to my skin. Then again in two weeks they started hurting like there was needles going to my skin, burning and all. She didn’t even try to offer anything instead wanted me to go for a refill. Then I came here and saw all these negative comments. Now found another place that I am going to tomorrow. I asked on the phone how long it will take for a refill and they said 90 mins. Normally takes 2 hours for a full set not half an hour. Hopefully it will be a better experience!!!

I was in town visiting friends from out of state and needed a stylist to update my blonde highlights. I’m always nervous to try someone new but Holly was recommended to me, and am I ever glad. My color turned out amazing. So wish I could take Holly back to my hometown. Your so lucky to have her here. I will 100 percent use her again, next time I visit.

I went into the salon, after helping my mom and dad move. (Big house and yes they are hoarders) I wanted someone to wash and blow dry my hair. I noticed many blonds coming in and out of the salon and looked amazing. I have a difficult time with colorists. My hair is brown and everyone from Frederic Fekkai to José Eber Salon other salons, made my hair red. (I dislike Red on me)… So I told Holly I would come back. That was over a year ago. She is the best colorist… I’m also scared of getting my hair trimmed, she does an amazing job. I now let my hair go curly and she does an amazing job trimming layers… If you are a blond, you should go here. * Holly only handles hair, she has people who do eye lash extensions, nails and waxing etc… This has nothing to do with Holly and hair… I recommend her. (She is also one of the funniest people I’ve met.)

So glad I found Holly! I asked an incredibly glamorous co-​worker where she got her hair color done and she directed me to Holly. Prices are incredibly reasonable ($ 75 for a full head of highlights) and Holly is both quick and thorough. Definitely recommend!

I started seeing Holly about 6 months ago and could not be any happier with my results. She does it all for me; cut, weave, extensions, and my roots. She’s super flexible with her schedule and even works on Sundays. Her prices are reasonable and she does a fantastic job. I always get compliments on my hair — for both the cut and color.
In the past I would see one person for a cut and another person for color application. I couldn’t seem to get someone who could do both really well. With Holly I have no reason to go anywhere else. I highly recommend her.

I went to see Tracy for my eyelash extensions. $ 85 for a double set medium length, meaning each individual lash is really double. Fills are $ 35. Tracy did an OK job, for the price it was worth it but my friend’s sister does eyelashes in OC so if I didn’t have the time to drive down there I would go to see Tracy or Helen again (they both work together). I never got them done before and she should have asked me if it was my first time because you aren’t suppose to get them wet for 24 hours and I worked out beforehand and I didn’t wash my hair. Fortunately I asked about showering and I had Dry Bar dry shampoo. Imagine if I went home and showered, my eyelash extensions would have washed off, 85 + $ 15 tip down the drain (literally!). Cheapest around, C+/B– job.

Worst eyelash extensions! Getting them removed. They are cheap and irritate my eyes. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra for better quality.

Eye lashes by Helen — ONLY worth it because of her prices. She is not at all concerned with her customer service skills… and would it kill her to wash her hands in between clients??! I would rather pay a lil more else where and have a pleasant experience.

I was in a meeting when I noticed my co-​workers beautiful hair. This was how I came upon Holly. I had been searching for a good hairdresser for a while that time and lo and behold, there she is conveniently located close to where I live and does my hair the way I like it. I’ve been going to her ever since… and it’s been about 4 years.
I got extensions with Holly twice and I got compliments left and right the times I had them. So I don’t understand why Nikki H. was upset. I was given instructions on how to take care of it and it lasted for 5 – 6 months. I would do it again… it makes my hair look long and thicker just like how it is in my profile picture.

I have been to Holly for about 5 haircuts now and I always like how she cuts my hair.
I have been to may other barbers and hair salons but this place is really great.
It’s always nice to get compliments and so I really appreciate the attention to detail and the great care that Holly takes when cutting my hair.
Holly is so nice, positive and sincere and always a pleasure to visit with.
I recommend this salon highly and I’ll see you there.
