Went here for the first time this weekend to get partial highlights. My stylist did a decent job with my hair. However, the close out was kind of awkward. I had an Axxess card and called in advance for a quote, mentioning that I had a lot of hair and the receptionist assured me partial highlights typically don't go beyond $130. So I figured, with a 50% off promotional deal, I would be paying somewhere around $70 + tip. However, she rang me up for $90 with the discount included. I asked her the original price and she told me $165, which made no sense because that still isn't 50% off. She didn't offer to give me a breakdown or any kind of explanation for the drastic price increase and the receptionist I believe I spoke with was on the phone assisting someone else. I didn't want to cause a scene in front of the other patrons, but beware of this Axxess card "deal". I understand Axxess Card clients aren't ideal for stylists due to the deep discount, but a positive first experience is how you maintain clients and after being overcharged, I have (understandably) no interest in going back to this stylist.

Horrible. Save the time of trying to get your money back and just spend it elsewhere.Turns out their Salon is not owned by Fess Parker so it is not held to any responsibility by the hotel.Being the reputation of the Fess Parker I went booked a service for a balayage at their salon. When I showed up I was more than disappointed by the experience from the get go. The salon is more like a Cost Cutters than a salon. The space is tiny, out of date and poorly taken care of.When I walked in my stylist was at the front desk and his first words were: "Are you Amanda? Ok, just wait a minute, I need to call a client." He never introduced himself through the entire appointment. He was well-mannered for the most part but didnt seem to care too much about what I was asking for, but instead just kind of talking in circles, but I showed him a lot of photos and he said he could m ake it happen. Half way through the appointment I finally stopped him when I realized he was just taking sheets of my hair and painting brown dye over my blonde (literally). Being familiar with the baayage process I asked "I thought we were doing a balayage, is this going to be more like an ombre?" - he passively said it will be a mixture of both but not to worry about it. HUGE MISTAKE on my end for not stopping him.Then when he asked if I wanted a trim, I decided sure, another HUGE mistake. He asked if I wanted a straight cut or circular, I said straight, and he literally lopped my hair off in a straight line and called it a day. I asked for him to tone my hair so it was more ash than bronze - when he washed my hair, I didn't think I felt that happen so when I asked if he toned it he said "I used purple shampoo, it will be fine".1.5 hrs later (normally this is a 4+ hr process and i have a LOT of hair) he had me washed, dryed, cut and heading out the door. Note: the girl with the pixie cut but behind me getting highlights who had been then quite a while before I was, was STILL having the color put in when I left.Let's just say the color was HORRIBLE. My head resembled a black and white cookie (with a little more blending at the connection point). The stylist was so careless with the dye that I had BROWN SPOTS all over the remaining blonde (which I had paid quite a heavy price to get in the first place). Finally after 3 coworkers and one of my bosses asked me why my blonde was now green, I called the salon to ask for my money back so I could go else where to get it fixed. After declining returning to have it fixed the salon owner said she would take care of it. I originally offered after the owner said she would fix everything and give the refund to send photos of the horrible cut color and tone, then I decided I owed her no explanation, they butchered my hair, wasted my time, and now I had to do it again (7 months pregnant).Her excuse for not refunding my money was that she wants those photos. Its been 6 months, and I am still trying to get my money back.When I went to get my hair fixed, I was telling my stylist what had happened - I was the third correction appointment from the Fess Parker that week.

Sherry is the BEST! I have only ever had my hair done by her and plan on only ever having her do my hair. The salon is super cute and clean and has the most beautiful view of the ocean! All the staff are so happy and talkative and inviting. Love this place, I trust Sherry with my hair and no one else! Read Less

I am a guest at the doubletree and I wasn't even able to confirm an appointment for the next day. I was passed off to another person and they had no idea when they might call me. Recommend going offsite to a salon that values it's patrons. Read Less

I wasn't able to make my hair appointment at home before we left for 7 weeks vacation.  I REALLY hate getting my hair done, (sitting for hours - ) and having to  do anything with my hair. my stylist at home knows me and is so good about making sure whatever she does is simple and no fuss. Needless to say having to go to someone else was a little stressful. However, Sienna was incredible. She was helpful and didn't bat an eye regarding all of (or lack there of) my hair care. She is not only a fabulous stylist, she's a beautiful young woman inside and out. I was the last appointment of the day so we were the only two in the salon which gave us the opportunity to visit freely. If you want great hair, sage advice and a good sense of humor then make an appointment with Sienna! Read Less

I am so glad I went here. I am new to the area and in search of a good haircut (I am very particular about my hair!). I decided to try Salon Del Mar and was booked with Angela. She is great! I have curly hair and she listened to exactly what I said/wanted. She also gave me one of the best blow outs i've ever had. My hair is / looks so healthy. Highly recommended. Read Less

Best salon ever!! I am so glad I found this place. I have never felt more beautiful in the world than when I had my hair done here. I had never died my hair before and now I will trust these people with anything. They are amazing.  I have only had jakob and sherry do my hair, but you can't go wrong. Everyone at the salon is amazing. They also did my makeup and helped me not only find everything to buy, but actually helped me learn to do my makeup that way.My sister had her wedding hair and makeup done and it was the most amazing hair and makeup I have ever seen. If you are a resident or a tourist you need to absolutely go here. It's not only a fun time it's also the most beautiful you will ever feel in your life. Honestly just go in and you will be so happy! Can't wait to go back! Read Less

I followed Olivier from Summerland. I have very fine, very straight hair, AND I like it styled (not just hanging straight or pulled back). Olivier got my hair immediately. And he understood how I like to wear it and style it. I have to say, my sister went to him first and though I loved her haircut, I was reluctant to go to him because my hair is so different from my sister's. I was afraid he would just see, "oh, sisters, same hair, same haircut." Well, I gave in and went to see him and the first thing he said was, "Oh, wow! Your hair is completely different from your sister's."  Yessss! He is meticulous and sees that funky little strand right in the front that wants to go its own way and works with it, almost cutting individual hairs until he gets it to lie correctly. He also cuts it for the way I want to style it, not the way he would style it. Here's the other thing. His haircuts "age" well. I'd never heard that expression until he said something about it and I realized that my cuts with Olivier are just as good the day I get the cut and the day I go in for another cut. Seriously. Also, Olivier is just a very kind, intelligent, and professional person. He is a gem. Read Less

Absolutely incredible hair salon. I went there initially due to the deal in the Axxess book for 50% off your first treatment. Not really knowing what I wanted, I had my hair lightened by Sienna, who was gracious enough to stay late for me on a Saturday and fit me in last minute before a trip of mine. Being my first hair color experience I was a little uncertain, but then I got used to the lighter hair and loved it. Months later, I made the mistake of trying to get a touch up color done at a different salon using another Axxess deal. Ended up with horrendous chunky highlights and lowlights. Again, Sienna was incredible and came in on her day off to fix the mistake. The result was beautiful and I can't believe she was able to work with the color I had. On top of that, I finally found someone who can cut curly hair! I think they have great prices for the services they provide and I couldn't recommend Sienna more for the wonderful care and work she puts into her client's hair. Read Less

Beautiful venue, terrible service. They aren't a full service salon first off. NO acrylics or gel extensions but they do do basic gels, but not gels on toes because they don't know how to- they told me they could "try" - I didn't want to risk it with that answer. The gels don't even have a booklet/color samples to look at so unless you already know what you want, you have to open each bottle to get an idea of the right color. Plus they have a super small selection of which colors are mostly the same. Once we finally got through that, she started the gel mani, but they had issues with their outdated light the whole time. We had to redo the manicure at least six times because it would dry bumpy in between the light issues and her evident lack of skill. I felt like it was me and a friend who had no idea what we're doing. Sorry to be so blunt, the staff is super nice, really sweet people but it takes more than niceness to make me feel satisfied with my nails that everyone will see. It's was horrible and took forever. To top it off, they still charged me full  price (80 w/o tip) and the manicure didn't even last a week. I had to go to LA. Read Less

I found out about Salon Del Mar from the Axxess card (50% off for first visit). Anthony cut and highlighted my hair. Very happy with how it turned out. Anthony was personable and fun to talk to during the appointment. Read Less

Visited this salon on a whim because of the Axxess card, and I'm SO glad I did. Jacob is fantastic- I've had many blowouts, had my hair styled all sorts of ways but the updo he did for me was probably the most beautiful my hair has ever been. I got so many compliments all night- AND the braid lasted from 9 am when I got it done until well past midnight. Definitely go to Jacob if you need to look gorgeous for an event- 5 stars! Read Less

Had a set appt., stylist took me in nearly 40 mins late, was rushed and flustered. As a result, the updo looked sloppy and unprofessional, asked for a simple correction, which led to a complete redo of the updo... Did I mention he was already 40 mins behind schedule? In the end, I was told by several people that my style looked like a simple bun. If you are picky, and you should be when you are spending generous amounts to make yourself look beautiful, choose your stylist wisely, I did not have a choice and was assigned to this stylist. My advice for stylists that don't work well under pressure, "if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!" Read Less

I recommend going to Salon Del Mar to anyone looking to receive professional service while having a fun, relaxing atmosphere (ocean view). The stylists there are super helpful and down to earth individuals, I felt so welcomed. I went in to get extensions by Anthony, and I can honestly say I am happily satisfied with the results! He did such a beautiful job, it's easy to tell he loves what he does. Read Less

I was delighted to find out that Anthony is still cutting hair in town after having a terrible experience at his old salon with another stylist. He offered to fix my horrible cut for free.First of all, the salon is so cute with ocean views in the Fess Parker. I felt like I was on a vacation. They even validate parking. The location is just incredible and the feel of it is great.Anthony is incredibly personable and passionate about what he's doing. He fixed another stylist's rush job because he loves what he does. He listens and makes sure you are 100% satisfied before you leave. No one has ever cut my hair quite so well and I think it's because he has a really immense understanding for how hair looks and moves. Just like the first cut I got from him, I walked out feeling like a movie star. I'm so happy to have followed him to this new salon! Read Less

Go see Chelsy! My hair has never looked better. She listened to what I wanted and did great balyage highlights and haircut. Chelsy was great to talk to, funny and kind. Icing on the cake is the salon has an ocean view! Read Less

I loved this place!! I got a haircut with Chelsy and she was just great. I've been looking for a good hair stylist that could understand my type of hair and what I wanted (had no previous success) and she knew exactly what I needed. I'm really happy with my haircut and I loved the scent of their products! The view from the salon and the beautiful sea side area is a plus! Will definitely come back. Read Less

Parking is validated, food is delivered from the bar next to the salon, and you'll leave with your hair and/or makeup looking like you belong in Hollywood. Read Less

I love the new Salon Del Mar! It's under new ownership and it looks beautiful inside!  I went to the opening and loved looking at their new product lines and checking out the new decor.My go-to girl is Sherry and she's amazing. I love going to her for a cut & color because she always does a great job.  She is very open minded and also offers tips based on your needs and wants.  When it comes to eyebrows, I am super lazy about taking care of them so I go to Sherry for an eyebrow wax and tint!  They also do makeup and nails I believe but I haven't had either of these services yet.  Overall I really love the atmosphere and friendly, relaxed vibe in the salon.  Awesome people working there and you can't beat the view of the ocean as you get pampered!
