The Hudson Salon & Spa

I am psyched that I found Hudson Salon. Brandy does a great blow dry — and I am very picky!

Hudson Salon & Spa is a relaxing location nestled in Laguna Beach, CA just off the PCH. With easy access, ample free parking, a comfortable relaxing environment and the absolutely fabulous hair stylists, Carie and Stef!
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 in combination with her eye for detail to provide a 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!

I’ve only had four hairstylist in my entire life and I can honestly say that Dana is one of the best… Dana is not only a wonderful person but also a fantastic color specialist. And God knows you have to be a color specialist to do my hair.

Was in town for a wedding and got a manicure and hair blown out. My manicure was beautiful/​perfect but my hair not so much. My hair looked frizzy at the end and the curls came undone. I didn’t have time for the stylist to redo my hair so just accepted the end result. I was disappointed as I thought what I requested was an easy hairstyle.

Ashlee is a lovely and knowledgeable professional. This was my first time there and she is an obvious expert with color and hair texture. As my young son observed, «She did a really great job brushing your hair (before coloring) and whenever something was wrong (as in, coloring the grays) she fixed it, and she’s a really interesting person (very patient and a lively conversationalist). I highly recommend.

I’ve been to The Hudson Salon & Spa a few times now. It’s a very nice and well kept salon. Ashlee Green is the best! She always does a great job cutting and coloring my hair and is so easy to work with. She really pays attention to what you want and makes sure to do it right. I recommend going and seeing her ASAP! You won’t regret it!!!

Sara will make sure you are happy and look good. I have found this salon to be very accommodating over the years. My previous stylist quit overnight basically so I was looking for someone new. Sara is a professional and also an enjoyable person to be around. I’m a last minute haircut every time and she will always answer a text within minutes to let me know if she’s available at that moment or what her next available time is. Great service!

My hairstylist Ashlee Green is a color genius. Taking my naturally black hair to a beautiful blonde color. She really knows her stuff, and has a passion for styling hair. I always recommend her to my friends.
Parking is surprising easy for Laguna Beach.
I’m extremely happy with my hair, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Went here with a friend to have our hair styled for a wedding we were in town for. The salon was very accommodating and fit us in with no problems. We received great styles form Leah (I think?) and while I was waiting for my friend, the owner was very friendly & asked about the wedding we were attending & even gave me suggestions for great breakfast spots. She actually typed out directions to two places & gave me her cell phone in case I had trouble finding either. ABOVE & BEYOND. I thought it was great she was so kind even though she knew we were from out of town & wouldn’t be «regulars» — that says A LOT!!!
Highly recommended!!!

Brandy! Hands down the best. Quit looking around. She is very sweet and soft spoken and so gentle with my long, and extremely thin hair. She appreciates how hard I work to get it there and even lets me brush my own hair out after the dye so I can be super gentle. Her head massages are awesome, I’ve never been more relaxed in public. She’s got it all, tons of experience, great ideas, and uses the most gentle products. Thanx brandy, see ya soon!

Went in to The Hudson to have my hair styled by Jordan. He did a great job! You can tell he really enjoys what he does. He’s quick but doesn’t seem rushed, and really knows what he’s doing. If you are looking for a new stylist, definitely go to Jordan, you won’t regret it!

I got to meet Jordan through doing his wedding last summer and I’ve been to him three times since to have my hair cut. He takes his time and pays attention to detail gives great scalp massages! My wife said my hair is the best it’s ever been. I highly recommend Jordan, and the salon is a great environment in Laguna.

So I had only been to Jordan a couple of times before he switched salons, but I am so in awe of his hair styling talent that I had to move with him! The new salon has a very relaxed vibe, and everyone I have talked to there has been very nice. What’s more important, though, is that Jordan is there to make me look fabulous. I am on my second Brazilian Blowout that he has done and the results are still nothing short of amazing. Friends of mine have gotten theirs done at random salons offering some ‘great deal’, but most of the time theirs doesn’t last all that long or (heaven forbid but I have seen it!) their stylist has burned their hair off! No worries of that here with Jordan – he treats hair like a work of art and the results are nothing but awesome. It was funny, last time I was there I was worried about cutting my hair a certain way that Jordan suggested… he turned to me and said, «Heather, have I ever let you down with a haircut?» and of course I said «no» and let him work his magic to produce a gorgeous look. Never a bad hair day with him as my stylist – thanks Jordan!

Followed my stylist Tania here cause I will not let any other do my color & cut. She cuts my hair to make me look like I have super bodacious hair. The color is naturally perfect & not streaky. Hudson is a relaxing comfortable salon with super customer service. When I call, folks are nice on the phone. When arrive, I am greeted & offered something to drink. I couldn’t ask for anything else. Thanks Tania for making me look like a gorgeous diva! See you again soon!!!

I go to the bikram yoga studio next to the salon and saw a promotion for women’s cut for $ 40. My usual stylist girl at the other salon was booked up but I desparately need a cut. So I decided to give Hudson a try…
And boy, I’m glad I did!
I had my appointment with Jordan Czaykowski. He was super friendly and easy going. I’m always a bit nervous when I have someone I don’t know doing my hair. But he made me feel comfortable to be there. I was able to ask all my hair questions I had. And having majored in Math in college and dealing with numbers for my job, I am very detailed and precise and like my stylist to be just as detailed. Jordan was beyond detailed. He was completely in the zone when cutting my hair and cleaning my layers up. I loved it. A stylist that is a perfectionist… can’t get any better. It’s been a couple days since my cut and I love it. No complaints here. Now I know after the promotion the cost of a cut is $ 65 but that’s pretty much the norm for the salons in the area.
And I have never colored my hair (except for those «finding myself» years in high school — ugh, red tips were in back then, right?). He talked me into doing this balayage technique for a subtle, yet different look. For someone that never does coloring, I am actually surprised I am trying this. But Jordan showed me pictures of it and how nice it looks. So I think it’s worth a try. I have that appointment schedule next month, so I’ll let you know how that goes.
If everything goes well, I’m pretty sure I will be switching to this salon (even though it’s farther than the other salon). But when you find «your» hair person, you’ll travel miles for them, right? Anyways, I hope this helps.

Leanne Curtis is amazing. All of her services are first class. She pampers her clients from head to toe. She is your one stop shop for a day of beauty Not only is Leanne great at facials, waxing, and eye lash extensions, she treats you like a queen in the process. And the Salon is very modern and elegant. Great vibe. Overall 5 stars for sure!!!

Never in a million years would I have imagined my younger brother, JORDAN CZAYKOWSKI, to do my hair. He was the football star, track star, amazing guitar player, and is good at everything he does INCLUDING HAIR. I’m not just saying this because he is my brother, but he seriously gives me THE BEST hair cuts I have ever had. I’m VERY picky when it comes to my hair and walk out so happy every time. I was also having issues with my hair color in the past, he listened to what I wanted and nailed it!
If you want someone who will listen to what you want and deliver then go see Jordan at Hudson Salon and Spa. You won’t regret it. The salon is beautiful, too. Oh ya, and his scalp massages are to die for.
Tell him his big sis sent you :)

Jordan’s the man. I followed him over from the old place… long story short my lady loves my hair and Jordan’s the one to thank. I went in and asked him make me look like Clooney, and aside from the natural good looks that I lack, my hair looks just like his. Many, many, many, thanks.

Hello,
I discovered Hudson Salon & Spa through my hairdresser/​stylist Lauren who has been doing my hair for years now, but she just recently moved to Hudson Salon & Spa a few months ago. The Salon is located on the 2^nd floor of a cute shopping center that is literally right across from the water. The entrance into the salon is tucked away and it carries a feeling of exclusivity to it. As you walk inside you are met with warm lighting and tasteful display cases with uniquely trendy jewelry (I actually ended up purchasing a pair of gold and white feather earrings, which I have to say looked great on after getting my highlights revamped!) When I walked in, I was met with friendly hellos and was offered a variety of different beverages that they had available for their guests (as well as beverages for people who are over 21 ;) At this moment I was in heaven! While enjoying my refreshment and waiting for my stylist to become available (because I arrived wayyy to early) I was entertained by the flat panel TV mounted in the «lounge area» at this point, I really didn’t care how long I had to wait– I was having a good time! When it came to the time where my stylist was available, I felt pretty relaxed and was even more excited that I pretty much had a full view of the beautiful ocean across the street. I was made aware that Hudson is pretty much a full service spa! This place seems like a great place to take the girls to and have a fun relaxing time. You can take advantage of the facials, body massages, hair salon, nail salon and also the mystic tanning! Hope you enjoy!

I found this salon next door to the bikram studio I used to frequent. The salon/​spa is very nice. I love the look and vibe. Front desk and other employees are very nice and considerate. Ask for Lauren Nicholson. She is a super, talented stylist/​colorist. I’ve never received so many compliments on my color and cut. I have long hair with layers and she is great about cleaning up the style without cutting length. Lauren is chic and stylish — just like you want to look. She knows what she’s doing and I have continued to go back to her always satisfied! She does free bang trims too.
Easy, free parking around and upstairs from the Vons.
