Carie Peters and Stef Cuesta

Carie and Stef are shining-​stars in their field. We all know that the right hair color and style makes a world of difference to both your appearance and confidence, but very few hair stylists can actually deliver.
Carie and Stef have been working their magic on my hair for the past couple of years and my hair has never looked so good and felt so healthy. Naturally, I have mousy brown/​dark blonde hair which is thick, wavy, course and dull. Carie has been coloring/​lightening my hair by way of balayage technique to result in long, healthy highlighted blonde hair of which I am always receiving compliments. Balayage is a technique for highlighting the hair in which the dye is painted on in such a way as to create a graduated, natural-​looking effect. I have found Carie’s use of this technique to provide an incredibly natural look with beautifully transitioning regrowth. Carie is attentive and precision driven when it comes to listening to and coloring your hair to best suit you as an individual. Not only does Carie bring out the best in my hair, she’s also an absolutely delightful person who delivers a professional, friendly and relaxing hair experience.
Stef styles and cuts hair with such precision and attention to detail as to blow away all competition. Not only do I love how she listens to me and styles/​cuts my own hair — everyone who leaves her chair looks stunning! She has the ability to work with your natural texture to individually style and cut your hair to best suit your face shape and features.
Both Carie and Stef use high-​end tools, colors and treatments to enhance and promote healthier looking/​feeling hair. Despite highlighting and coloring my hair, it feels and looks healthy and shiny thanks to Carie and Stef’s advice and expertise.
My hair is as amazing as Carie and Stef are! Let Carie and Stef work their magic on you and I promise you won’t be disappointed — just don’t steal my appointment slot!

Carie is an amazing hair colorist! I call her my «hair artist,» because she handcrafts works of art on my long highlighted blond hair each and every time. She doesn’t use foil, she hand-​paints every strand of my hair, creating beautiful results! I have medium dark brown long hair, and I prefer to wear it highlighted blond. Carie always succeeds at making my hair look naturally light with shine and dimension. I always get compliments on my hair after Carie uses her magic on me.
I was fortunate to find Carie many years ago when I had moved back to California from Las Vegas, after my hair had been through a series of battery from one bad colorist after another, while trying to find a new hairdresser in CA.
By the time I finally found Carie, my hair was many shades of many unflattering colors, and it was very damaged. Carie made a dramatic improvement on the overall look of my hair in one visit, and she has successfully restored my hair to super healthy, super beautiful, and super amazing. I love her!
If you’re on the fence about trying Carie for your color… just do it. Give her a shot. You won’t be disappointed.

I was referred to Carie as a true professional who specializes in color correction, and that she did! I came to her with an all over red tint which I had been to multiple stylists to fix unsuccessfully. It didn’t help that I had multiple colors in my hair from years of high/​Lo lights. She set realistic expectations for me and said it would take about 3 visits to fully correct, but with a big improvement with the first color process. I’ve been with her since and wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else. I’ve been semi satisfied with my color over the years but truly love it now. She does the balayage on me, a flattering combination of caramel, blonde with lots of dimension and shine. She does a protein treatment and gloss with every process to keep it in optimal shape.
I would also highly recommend her for Great Lengths extensions. I got them for the first time and the color was matched so well you couldn’t find them in my hair if you tried. It’s not inexpensive but the quality and look are what you’re paying for!

I highly recommend Cari for hair color. I have been seeing Carie for hair color for about 3 years now. Carie helped me find the perfect color for me. I have long blonde hair that I highlight. Just as important Carie cares about the condition of your hair and I must say my hair has never been softer and healthier. When I came to Carie my hair was overprocessed by my previous colorist which made it dry and brittle and I still wasn’t getting the color I wanted. From my first appointment with Carie, I got the color results I wanted and overtime my hair’s condition drastically improved. She uses the best quality products and it shows. She is a master colorist.

I don’t know what I would do without Carie! She is an expert with color! As a blond I have found it difficult to find someone that doesn’t make me look too blond or yellow. She has made my hair look so natural with the mix of colors that she uses. And no more do I have those awful stripes from foils that most stylists use. She has also been doing my great lengths hair extensions for years. I had them done by many other people before her, but no one takes the time like she does to create the right size piece for my thin hair and color mix so that they look like my own hair. Matching extensions with blond hair can be a nightmare but she gets it right every time. If Carie ever decides to move, I don’t know what I will do. I will probably have to move with her!

Never ever, have I loved my hair more.
Seriously Carie, is an angel sent from above. My mom has been getting her hair dyed for quite a few years now, and when she first started she was constantly telling me I HAD to see Carie. I was hesitant at first, since one of my close friends had been doing my hair for so long and I was happy with it, or so I thought. Carie has literally changed my life. I went from blonde to brunette and when I saw her one of the first times I was transitioning back into blonde. My hair is the shiniest, strongest, best looking it has ever been. I used to not be such a fan of being blonde, just because dying it would make it so damaged and dry and getting older my roots would be so dark in contrast. NOT ANYMORE. It’s crazy, I can go even longer without it looking hideous, I have no idea how she magically does that but It’s amazing. I get compliments on my hair all the time, for how long, soft and strong it is for blonde hair. I never thought I could be so happy and trusting with a colorist, but she has made my life so much easier. I’ve never been so happy with my hair.
She also has done fun things with my hair like dying the ends a pink/​purple. (I see it’s even posted in the pictures, it was even prettier in person.) Something I would have honestly never even considered before her, but I am never disappointed and was in love with it. I am SO, SO happy I have found her and never want to lose her!
Do yourself the biggest favor ever and treat yourself to some of the best hair coloring of your life. You will not regret it.

Carie is AMAZING. She is a master when it comes to color and I wouldn’t trust my hair to anyone else. She has made me a redhead, blonde, and brunette all while preserving my hair’s softness and the color looks so incredibly shiny, beautiful, and most of all: natural. She really takes her time to make sure it looks perfect and I am never disappointed.

I call Carie and Stef my «Hair Fairy God Sisters», and with good reason. They are an amazing combo. Carie is one of the most skilled, meticulous colorists I have ever met — and I am SUPER picky about color. She takes her time and makes it perfect, every single time. And Stef always nails it. She gives me exactly the cut and style I am looking for. She just gets it. Between the two of them, you can’t go wrong.
In fact, Carie and Stef recently steered me through a very big hair change and I came out the other side with a killer wavy bob. Wob. Whatever you want to call it — it’s in the pics. :) Truly, they have an uncanny ability to see into your head and turn your hair vision into a reality. My hair has never looked better than it has since finding these two! I get so many compliments.
And as an added bonus, they are both genuinely lovely people to be around — a huge plus when you are sitting in the chair for long stretches at a time. Love these girls!

Carie is the BEST colorist! She uses the balayage technique and is a true artist paying attention to color and detail. The condition of my hair has improved too as she uses a conditioning treatment that enhances and strengthens. Carie is very detail oriented and it shows.
Stef is wonderful at styling and cutting. They are a great team!
Both Carie and Stef are very accommodating and easy to work with.
