Portfolio Salon

Judy is absolutely amazing with her skills. Hands down best hair wash! I have curly, short, dry hair and this is now the second time I walked out her doors with a huge smile. Can't wait to go back just to walk out feeling and looking like a star.

Judy took her time and did a great job straightening my hair

The owner was very warm. She understood what I needed and got me a good haircut. Also her conversation style is amazing!

Judy gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had. She's really a master at her craft. She evened out all of my layers and cut off what was necessary to give my damaged hair some life back while maintaining it's length. If you call her, she will honor her groupon price (if she is running one) and you can just pay her directly. I would definitely return!

I visited Judy for the first time for a haircut and balayage and had the best experience! I told her what I wanted and she made sure I was happy with what she was doing throughout the process. She is also really fun to talk to and the time passed by quickly. I have thick Asian hair that was mostly dark brown, and she made it a beautiful ashy blonde/ brunette balayage. I was out of there in less than 3 hours! You can tell she really cares about her clients. Definitely coming back!

So I came here for a cut and color. I am mixed with African American and Caucasian. So, I have African American hair, however, it is not as kinky. So typically I get my hair cut when it is straight so it is cut evenly. My hair dresser did not cut my hair when it was straight and did it when it was curly. I asked her to blow dry and straighten my hair for me.

She looked at her watch then looked at me and said "I will try but I don't think I can do your hair." Mid way through straightening my hair, she looked at me and said yeah I can't do your hair and stopped. She told me I know my own hair so I can straighten it myself. I didn't make a big deal over this and when I got home I straightened my hair myself.

When it was finished I noticed my cut was uneven and looked extremely choppy. The color was beautiful (even though it wasn't really what I wanted). If you are Mixed and have somewhat of African American hair, don't come here. They obviously did not learn how to blow dry and straighten curly hair in beauty school.

Judy has been cutting my hair for 20 years. She's almost done (I have a very big head). When people say, " My but your hair looks terrific!", I tell them Judy cut my hair!

I highly recommend this place as they are a very talented hairdresser, especially Ms. Judy. My daughter and I got our haircut here for the first time, and we will continue to come here from now on. Oh, did I mention that we live in Escondido?! Really worth the drive! To Ms. Judy, Thank you! My daughter and I are very much satisfied with our haircut.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality Judy, you are the sweetest! I just met her and I'm keeping her forever! She knew exactly what was best for my curly hair! Super knowledgeable! Thank you for fitting me in and all the great tips. See you soon!

Stella has been doing my hair for over 8 years. The reason I keep coming back is due to her skills and patience. I'm very picky and Stella ALWAYS listens and makes her magic happen! She's professional and personal, kind and thoughtful. She often fits me in with little notice. Super accommodating and flexible! Thank you Stella for keeping me looking sharp!

Cute little salon with caring professionals. Daughter and I both went here and had good results. Giving them another try soon for some Fall colors. I only put four instead of five stars because it is pricey, was almost $400 for two people getting hair coloring and slight trims, so that was a little pricey to me. I appreciated the demeanor of Megan though and the one who did my oldest daughter seemed good too.

Loved my experience here! Very nice, professional staff! Anjelika was so friendly and made sure to give me a hairstyle I would love! Definitely worth the price. I recommend! Especially if you're making a big change to your hair and want good advice.

So as a guy I've never really went into a hair salon to get a hair cut. Typicaly just go to the nearest great clips and pay 10$ and get a buzz cut. But I'm trying to grow my hair out so I haven't cut it in a year. The ends were split and dead and just looked terrible so I decided to try out a hair salon. Had no idea what was in store for me. Let's just say I doubt I'd ever go anywhere else. 10/10 experience. Best haircut I've ever had even though it was just a trim.

Christina is my recommendation. Very kind and really listens to your requests. I've always been hesitant of getting a new stylist whenever I move, but I'm glad I found Christina.

So I am super confused about the rating. The service provided gets 4/5 for hair color. However front desk and payout 1/5. I got my roots colored couple months ago while sitting and getting color I ask if I can use the 10% off - was said yes. Now fast forward to check out. I check in and show the 10% in response I get a sorry the old owner posted it you can not use it. Well if you took over the salon and page why can't you remove it!? But the salon itself has high prices but not as luxurious of a feel to match the $$$.

I'm seriously OBSESSED with my hair. I had kind of a "Rachel" cut back in high school (many moons ago) and to date, it's the single "do" that I've been happiest with. I have a heart shaped face, and with the wrong cut it my face can look too full; the choppy layers at the bottom really frame my chin and give me all the swing I love. I've been chasing this haircut for YEARS.

Yesterday I went in to Portfolio to see Megan. It was my first visit and I was a little wary. She put me right at ease with her easygoing, friendly personality. I showed her lots of photos of the elusive haircut I was gunning for, and in the back of my mind knew it was a snowball's chance in hell she'd nail it. Well. I was wrong. Megan delivered BIGTIME! I've been enjoying my new look all day-taking pictures from different angles, and it's EXACTLY what I wanted. Omg.

I love this girl. And I'm definitely going back. The only thing I would add to the salon is a nice neck massage, during the shampoo, and a complimentary juice or water. They DID have yummy coffee, which was a nice surprise. Megan has a real knack for listening to her customers and understanding what it is they want. I think you'll be very pleased--go see her!

I love my color, highlights & cut! Lindsey was wonderful! She listened to what I wanted for color and cut and gave me a fresh new look! She is friendly and very knowledgeable and didn't waste anytime working on my hair! Clean and modern salon with great staff. I highly recommend this Salon!

Bien Ho is the BEST at hair color! She is a perfectionist and never gives up till it's perfect. Many other Solons have told me that because my hair was so dark I could never get blonde highlights, not Bien. I'll be her customer as long as she'll have me.

I have been coming to this salon ever since I moved to Atlanta in 2011. I have had my hair cut and colored by executive stylist Bien every time and I am always extremely happy with the result. Bien listens to everything I've asked her to do with my hair and offers helpful suggestions when I ask. She is always very personable and is a great listener, which creates a relaxing and enjoyable experience at the salon.

As for the haircuts, over the years I've asked for layers, no layers, short, with a 'v' shape or a 'U' shape in the back, and each time it has come out perfect. For the hair color, I've gotten ombre with brown and ombre with red and purple. The color was blended beautifully with my black hair each time. I've had my hair cut and colored in NY and CA before moving to Atlanta and I can say she is the best stylist I have ever used, and her prices are very reasonable for the quality. You will not be disappointed when you come to this salon! Ask for Bien!

I got my hair and extensions lightened and colored and the junior stylist "Jessica" did a terrible job. She rushed through the process, she didn't seem to care whatsoever, and she wasn't even gentle. I was charged $190 for a poor job. She charged me $86 for my hair color and $104 for my extensions. I asked why was it so expensive and she told me that she used extra chemicals.well she didn't tell me about using extra chemicals.

I was beyond furious. However Bien, the owner was nice enough to give me a refund on my extensions and she offered to color my hair and give me a cut for free and she also threw in some free products for my hair. So I returned for her to recolor my hair so it could match my extensions and it turned out to be extra dark brown. I was a bit confused. Overall, I will not be returning to this salon. Ever.

Summary: Rude, bad stylist, horrible hair cut, terrible service. The first time I came in, it was awesome. I called in, Lauren said she'd squeeze me in the very same day and gave me a great coloring and cut. Three months rolls by and I want to make another appointment because I was so happy with my hair. I call in and talk to the receptionist and I ask her about the prices for coloring and cuts because I had discounts for being a first-timer last time and she refused to talk to me and told me when I come in I can talk to the stylist.

I found that really rude considering that I'm going to be spending my money there and I would like to know how much I had to, five minutes for her time wouldn't of killed her. So I come in for my appointment, I finally found out how much my hair was going to cost me. ELISE dyes my hair, no problem. She's a junior stylist like LAUREN so I thought it would be alright if she cut my hair. No!

It wasn't. She didn't really do the layering I wanted in the back and I was tolerant of that, whatever, but then She HACKED OFF MY BANGS to the point that they are now half way down my forehead. I showed her the haircut I wanted with a picture too and the bangs of the haircut was suppose to lay a little pass my eyebrows. Even worse they're crooked, uneven and little pieces of hair irritates my eyes.

I can't even do anything about them because they're so short. I didn't complain though 'cause I thought it was just how my hair reacted to haircuts that made it look funny. Until the next day when I finally realized that she really messed up. So today, which is the next day after my haircut, I called to make a complaint and possibly a refund because I'm not paying for a HAIRCUT THAT SUCKS and they PUT ME ON HOLD TWICE.

Finally when I was able to talk to someone, she didn't even talk to me for five minutes and told me that she'd talk to ELISE when she comes in and call me back later. I'm thinking to myself, "I don't want to talk. I want my FREAKIN' MONEY BACK!". In conclusion: Go spend a little bit more of your money for your hair because this place had good prices but a TERRIBLE time. I'm never going back here AGAIN.
