Lavish Hair

I had a wonderful experience with Lisa coloring my hair.
I came in with a grown out balayage (that actually did not match what I had originally wanted, from another stylist) and she was able to achieve the exact color/​tone that I was originally hoping for!
I appreciated how she took the time to listen to what I wanted at the beginning and then was very communicative during the process. With Asian hair, it can be tricky going lighter (I have had unsuccessful experiences with other stylists in the past) and so I was glad to find someone experienced with this hair type. The result was a multi-​dimensional color that I love! I will definitely be coming back to Lisa for my future coloring and haircut needs.

Lisa is an amazing colorist and the best stylist I’ve ever had. I make an hour drive to see her, she is that good.
Lisa is the first stylist ever that I let color my hair. She is always rocking an awesome style, so it inspired me to do something different. I wanted the blonde highlights that I used to have naturally when I was a teen and spent a lot more time in the sun. She chose a blonde that worked perfectly with my color, and the highlights were so natural looking. Even my mom didn’t know I had colored my hair until I told her – she just thought I was getting a lot of sun!
She does a lot of other fun things with color that aren’t «natural» looking, like purple ombré, etc. So if you’re looking for something fun & funky, she’s great for that too. If you’re like me and you don’t want it to be obvious that you color your hair, Lisa is an amazingly skilled colorist and stylist.

I got my hair done with Lisa for the first time a week ago, im in love with my hair cut, i will definitely go back to get my her treated with her :)

I’ve been a client of Lisa for over 6 years. I used to get the Brazilian blowout from her but now I do extensions and color. She is amazing!!! My color always looks perfect and I always walk away happy. She is always accommodating and very honest. You will not be disappointed!

Lisa is fantastic. The first time I came to Lisa, I really needed my hair fixed from a past «balayage/​ombré» disaster. I found her on Unilocal,and gave her a call about my issues. She offered a consultation and made my hair even better than I could have imagined.
Many weeks later, due for a color update and trim; I came to her just a few weeks ago again. I wanted a change and she gave me another new look, from long to short and I now love my hair even more!
Something I really appreciated was that Lisa gave her honest opinion for every step we took with my hair. She made sure to keep my best interest in mind as well as making sure my hair was on trend. Every time I’ve gone to Lisa I would get tons of compliments and questions about who does my hair. She is great and I plan to see her many times in the future!

I (as well as my whole family) have been a client of Lisa’s for 2 ½ years. Not only is Lisa a wonderful person but she knows what she is doing when it comes to hair. I personally get extensions every 3 ½ months with touch ups in between for my color. Never once have I had a problem with my extensions. Always a quality job as well as the quality of the extension’s she purchases. I would recommend Lisa to anyone from just a routine haircut, for color or extensions. She is the best! Thanks Lisa!

0 stars!!! One of the worst experiences of my life. I feel tricked and robbed!!! I went to Lisa for extensions and after 1 week, 1 already fell out. After 2 and a half months, 2 were falling out each day… I must have lost 60 pieces!!! Normally I keep my extensions in for 4 months, but Lisa’s installation was really a let down. I think her assistant conditioned my hair and/​or left my hair damp before applying my extensions thus they were not able to get a secure bond.
When I contacted Lisa about the situation on how we could remedy the situation, her response was «she would take them out for free and give me $ 100 off a new set». Asking the customer to Pay $ 800 because she installed them poorly is horrendous customer service.
By the way, the hair is not guaranteed remy hair and is horrible quality becoming all tangled after it’s brushed. I asked her twice for the hair colors she used (so that I could order extra pieces) and she never answered me. STAY AWAY!!!

Lisa did my extensions for the first time last year. She did a beautiful job in a surprisingly reasonable amount of time. They looked fabulous and she really knows how to color match. So I recently decided to go back after losing a large amount of my natural hair due to a health condition — lisa literally gave me my hair back and my self esteem. If you are in SD she’s the best for extensions by far.

Lisa does the best color!!! I wanted a natural look and she nailed it. I used to be afraid to get my hair done because I felt that The end result was never what I wanted. Lisa really cares about what you want and makes sure the client is happy.
The vibe in this salon is very comfortable and fun. I’m never going anywhere else!

Review for men’s haircut.
Have you ever walked out of a haircut and feel like you need to go home immediately and fix what he/​she have just done? Well… you’ll NEVER have that feeling with Lisa.
Here’s the thing, if you are currently reading this entry, then you are already searching for a new stylist. (Yes, they’re not called barbers after the age of 9. Also, if you care anything about your overall appearance, then you would spend more than $ 15 for a haircut) Lisa makes you feel comfortable and will give you REAL advice on what she believes will look good for you. Not to mention her assistant (Kassidy), who is nice, cute, and very professional.
So when was the last time you walked out of haircut and felt like you’re the king of the world?

Lisa is a rock star!!! I went to see Lisa about 4 years ago to get a brazilian. At the time i was only interested in the brazilian and I was seeing another stylist for highlights. My hair was overprocessed and had stopped growing, so with Lisa’s expertise she worked on getting my hair back in shape and here it is 4 years later and I have healthy beautiful hair. I have recived numerous compliments on my hair and have referred many people to Lisa. Lisa knows her stuff, she attends regular shows and is up to date on color, cuts, styling etc, etc.
I value her recommendations and every time I see her and sit in her chair, she works her magic and I leave feelling a million bucks… priceless.
I highly recommend Lisa and always have extra cards when women ask me who does my hair… recently my doctor asked me and I was proud to let her know it was Lisa.

Hair is seriously important to me.
I’ve been going to Lisa for the past 2 years, ever since I moved to San Diego from DC. I’m not really adventurous with my hair, but I wanted to go lighter, and she gave me the coolest summer color (a nice shimmering brown when my hair is black) and she has given me great highlights as well. Lately I’ve just needed the perfect haircut and she could probably do it blindfolded. She really listens, and she won’t push you to do anything you’re not comfortable with. I trust her completely– she will be the one I go to when I’m ready to cut it all off!
She’s seriously the best of the best.

For a straight guy, I think I’m overly worried about my hair and my hair style. I’ve waited to go to San Jose to get my haircuts. Not anymore! I found Lisa and I’m never dealing with anyone else, ever again.
She was very pleasant, knowledgeable and very patient with me. I came in asking for a new look. Something modern but professional. The end result was the best haircut I’ve ever had. Not over exaggerating. Quite literally the best haircut I’ve ever had. I recommended Lisa to my mother, who has been going to her stylist religiously. Glad to say, she also switched to Lisa and said the same thing to me. Her cut and color were the best cut and color she has ever had.
Thank you Lisa!

Lisa absolutely does a fabulous job! I’ve been with her since I was 7^th grade in middle school! I’m now a senior in high school; my mother is also one of her clients and is as well very pleased with her work. I recommend her greatly! I have pictures of my before and after dye job as well :)

Few weeks ago I decided to get hair extension for the first time because my hair has been shedding like crazy. I was a little scared when i came in and saw those freaky tool that is used to put the extension on. But Lisa, the stylist that did my extension was so awesome, she made me feel a lot better. After working on my hair for a little more than a hour, i finally got beautiful full hair. After seeing my hair so pretty and full, I don’t think I will go back to having thin-​flat hair again. I will definitely go back to Lisa to get extension in the future.

I have trouble trusting many people with my hair (less than I can count on one hand) because they’ve either butchered the cut or it wasn’t what I wanted, but Lisa is someone I have no trouble with my hair. I had THE longest drab hair for a while and was in dire need for a cut. I’ve heard so many great things about her so thought I’d come in. Let’s say that I LOVE my hair and what she did to it! Extra attention to details of what I wanted and even more with her unique styling. I love all of my experience! Go get your hair done with Lisa and I guarantee you will love your new ‘do.

LISA is the one!!!
This is a LONG review but it’s worth reading if you’ve been having trouble finding a hair dresser you can «trust with your tresses»…
I am never sure if I will get good results from a stylist/​colorist, so I’m always nervous at the prospect of trying someone new. I’ve been disappointed so many times with the results as I’ve walked out of a salon… Not to mention the price I paid for it! If I’m going to pay today’s prices, I would like to feel great about my hair when done.
I made an appointment with Lisa because she highlighted my daughter’s long blond hair and did a magnificently natural looking job. I was so excited at what she had done for my daughter that I couldn’t wait to get in to see what she might do for my hair. I called for an appointment, and to my suprise, was able to get in quite quickly.
I needed to have my dark brown hair lightened and highlighted to suit my «advancing years» and to cover my «silver strands» =)…
Lisa understood very well the «softer» look I was going for and she NAILED IT! She did a fabulous job. She also gave it a great trim… Without taking too much off, as I have experienced waaaay too many times with previous stylists. She even understood that I wanted my bangs trimmed soft and natural and at just the right length! I always want «sexy» not «Pixie»!!!
It had been a long time since I had my hair professionally colored and cut and I have suffered with it as a result, but not any more!!!
It’s sooo refreshing to have found someone like Lisa with her «VERY COMPETENT» skill set along with her kind and understanding manor…
I have finally found «My Hairdresser»! The one I will be booking with regularly, for years to come!!!
P. S. With Lisa, I can rely on the CONSISTENCY of my cut and color too… I’ve found that to be rare with others as well.

SO, the point is that Lisa is the bomb. She just has it all. I called her up after reading other reviews on Unilocal as I was seriously considering getting extensions. She did everything she could to get me in for a huge job, on extremely short notice. Even moved around other people’s appointments for me.
At the time I had dead, short, layered blonde hair and I was looking to go for long brown natural looking hair.
I’m not sure how she did it, but I walked out looking like a completely different person — in a good way. She some how took my dead short hair, changed it to a beautiful brown, and gave me about a foot or more of additional length. It was pretty crazy.
The best part is that Lisa walked me through the whole thing even though I was scared of making the transition. Helped me figure out what would look best and then blended it in so naturally. Its just everything you’re looking for if you want extensions done right.
She also uses quite a few different hair companies and is always looking for better ones. She knows where to get the best vitamins for hair growth, or the best conditioners.
As far as pricing goes. Extensions are not cheap — but I don’t think her prices are more than you’ll find anywhere else. Especially not for someone that does everything so well. I was more worried about getting it done right than I was about the price when I found her. I definitely got what I paid for and more.
Bottom line is: She’s a professional, she knows her stuff and she’ll get you looking amazing. True story bro.
I’m putting some pictures up as evidence. I’m the one that goes from Short blonde hair (picture facing forward with half smirk on face) to Long brown hair (picture facing sideways with arms in awkward half-​dance position) Hopefully you’ll make the right choice and call her up.

I received a horrible hair cut from someone a week before my boyfriend’s end of deployment. I thought for the next 6 months my hair style was going to be up till it grew out. I quickly realized that I could not keep doing that for 6 months. I started looking up reviews and Lisa came up. All of her reviews sounded good so I went in to talk to her, that day I decided to bite the bullet and go with extensions. Two days later she got me in and I loved it and of course nobody can tell that they are extensions which I love. The price may shock you but it really is worth the money.
UPDATE — —
Less than a week after I had the extensions in one already came out, although Lisa did put it back in at no charge, about two weeks later four pieces came out. I was very frustrated because she gave me a time of 3 months to get an update, well here I am not even a full month in and five pieces came out already.
I could not put my hair in a pony tail because you could see the extensions and I even tried just a head band and you could still tell that I had extensions. At this point I just decided to take the extensions out myself which was very easy, makes me wonder if ANY hair would have been there at the end of the three months.
This was defiantly a learning experience with my hair and I will NEVER pay that much for my hair again.

This review is primarily to review the final result of my hair extensions done by Lisa at Lavish Hair. My extensions are gorgeous, feels so natural, and can hardly tell I have them on. Overall, Lisa did an outstanding job with my hair and the before and after pictures (see dark hair photos with pink dress) I posted speak by themselves.
I would definitely recommend Lisa to any one who is looking for QUALITY hair extensions!!!
NOTE: As of yesterday (11−13−11), there is no sign for Lavish Hair Salon when you arrive to the address. Actually, Lavish is under Ryan Thomas Hair Studio.
My hair was short and in really bad condition and was not sure if it was suitable for hair extensions; so I met with Lisa to discuss my options and cost. My hair apparently was long enough for extensions, and Lisa recommended the 16″ length «Tape In Extensions» method in two shades of which one matched my natural hair color perfectly. The total cost, which varies in every person depending on the size of the head, length of the extension, and method, was approx. $ 800.00 in my case. The cost of Tape In extensions was at the high end, and I was not sure if wanted to expend that much on hair; but I ended up getting this one because the extensions are re-​usable and in the long term are more economical. In the day of the consultation, I provided a deposit of 50% of the total cost. The extension were ordered by Lisa and in a few days I had them put on.
In the day of the placement, Lisa colored the bleached ends of my hair (at no cost) and placed all the extension in approx. 2.5 hours followed by a trim to connect them with my natural hair. Overall, Lisa has magical hands and I had absolutely no discomfort of any kind during the placement of the extensions.
In day one (1) after extensions’ placement, I was able to sleep very comfortable as usual and run in the treadmill without feeling extra weight on my head or feeling that the extensions would come off.
As a follow up, in approx. 10 weeks I need to schedule with Lisa for maintenance which consist of removing the extensions with an oil based solution, cleaning/​removing the glue from the extension, and put them back on my hair. The maintenance for my hair is estimated to be ~ $ 350.00.
Hope this info is useful for someone who is considering having extensions and don’t know much about the process.
