I went to Linda for my hair. I asked for a s*** cut with lots of layers. Not only did my hair look AMAZING, it was exactly what I asked for. Linda was so nice and made me feel so comfortable. I will definitely be going back, she has earned me as a lifetime customer.

I noticed the 5 star reviews and though I'd give them a shot. I spoke with Linda and made my appointment for 4pm on April 22, 2022. I had been growing out my hair from a previously bad haircut back in December and I already had short hair above my shoulders and I didn't want any layers... just essentially a trim so it's all one length. Linda spent approximately 30 min on my hair including shampoo and blow dry. She never discussed price and I went by her website $45 for short hair and price goes up according to length. She touched NOTHING else- just took maybe an inch off the overall length and said she can do the highlights tomorrow (today at noon) once I got up she said the cut was $75!! For short hair?!? I explained the website says otherwise and she never disclosed price being so high or else I would have went elsewhere... after discussing it she honored the $45 on the website. I then return today for my highlights that she quoted $100 for partial (I agreed to that) but when I arrived and mentioned that there were some issues with the cut she said she didn't want to fix it and didn't want to do my color now because "you're too hard to please" mind you... I didn't notice the issues with the cut yesterday and I just showed her the scraggly pieces that didn't seem to get cut so they hang lower than the rest of my hair in an obvious way. She made no attempt to fix it and just repeated she didn't want to do my hair. I have an event to attend tomorrow and can't find an opening on short notice to get my hair done. Right when My mother and I stepped out of the salon Linda shut the door behind us. I was in no way rude to her or gave her attitude- even my mother was shocked by Linda's rude behavior. I guess overall it was for the best because all this shows me is that Linda doesn't have the necessary experience and talent to do even a half way decent job. I highly recommend you go elsewhere to someone with more adept talent working on hair and a more professional demeanor. Pictures attached- it was supposed to be a straight and even cut. Clearly she couldn't even do that but thought this was a $75 cut?!? Save yourselves the disappointment- I wish I had.

Linda has been doing my hair for years now. I love her. She's an amazing hair stylist and good person. She's very accommodating to my schedule and goes out of her to make sure I love my hair. Don't just believe me, I receive lots of compliments on my hair due to her great skills. I recommend her to everyone. Her prices are reasonable considering the quality. She also sells the best olive oil in the next space. Try it. You'll love it.

I have been going to Linda for over 12 years and I love her coloring talents! My hair cut and color looks great! I have past shoulder length full head of hair, she gives me slight layers, covers my gray roots and puts high & low lights. She also knows how to give me a great blow out. I always get compliments on my hair! I recommend Linda 100 percent.

The cut was okay but it was not worth 45 dollars. My husband's hair was not uniform. I'm a licensed Cosmo and the first haircut I learned, they taught me when you cut a man's hair and beard, you trim all facial hair. It should be included. She didn't even trim his mustache. I did tip her but I won't go back. I don't expect perfection but I do expect the charge to match the service. I wish I didn't have carpal tunnel.

I had been searching for someone to perm my hair for months before I found Hair Smart. Linda absolutely knows her stuff! She gave me the best perm I have had - & I have been getting perms for 30+ years! My hair actually appears to be in better condition after the perm than it was before! Unbelievable I know, but true. Linda is a miracle-worker. I don’t usually write reviews but I was so impressed with Linda’s skills & friendly service that I had to share my experience.

I came from out of town for our daughter's wedding at Vista Valley CC. I searched online for salons in Vista, and was so fortunate to find Linda at Hair Smart! I've never had an updo before and I didn't really know what to ask for, but Linda jumped right in and gave me the perfect updo that looked sophisticated and beautiful, and lasted the entire evening. Linda was patient, took her time, and I could not have asked for better service, a better looking hair style, or a better overall experience. My husband loved my hair, which is an added bonus. I highly recommend Linda at Hair Smart!

I have been going to Rita for more years than I care to mention. There's a reason for that. She does fabulous work. No one does color better, while preserving the health of your hair. Your satisfaction is her primary concern. She gently guides you through selecting cuts, colors & treatments that best suit your needs & you without promoting her own agenda. I appreciate, also, that she doesn't try to sell you products & services you don't need. I would not trust my hair to anyone else, regardless of how far I might have to travel. Rita is totally worth it.

I'm so glad I found Rita. She addressed all of the concerns that I had with my hair. My hair has never looked better and the entire experience was a pleasure. I will definitely be going back!
