Le Salon Du Kat

Lexi was fabulous I showed her pictures of what I wanted and actually got the look I was going for. My cut and color are great and I got some great tips on how to keep my hair healthy. Thanks Lexi I definitely be coming back!

The salon is fantastic coffee, tea, soda whatever u need. Specifically, my hairstylist Joanna Austria She’s been doing my hair for 5 plus years now and is awesome. I have naturally curly hair with serious red undertones and if you know anything about hair you know it’s hard to color my type of hair. She has been able to get my hair the right color and keep it healthy. Definitely recommend.

I love getting my hair done by Joanna. From cuts to colors! She’s very attentive to what you like, and makes sure that your hair is not too damaged to highlight. She would rather treat your hair your first. I’ve been getting my hair done for over 10 years!!! Faithfully sticking around. Can’t abc wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Joanna for your great service

I absolutely LOVED this salon. A friend recommended it to me. She has gorgeous blonde hair and is very happy with the servics heree. I wanted to get a mani pedi and they went above my expectations. I really wanted a Caucasian manicurist and they had 2 of them. The mani/​pedi included a nice shoulder rub. The products that they used were great quality. The salon is beautiful, lavish, and comfortable (the owner did an EXCELLENT job decorating)!!! My husband got a facial and the skin care specialist was great. His skin was GLOWING when he walked out. Overall, I would highly recommend. Any service you get here will be fabulous.

Kaylynn does mine and my sons hair cuts and has always done an AMAZING job to say the least! I will forever go to her! My son is only 3 and has had 3 different people try to cut his hair and Kaylynn is the only one he will sit for. I do and would recommend her for any and all hair needs, she’s the best!

Well, I changed salon’s after my prior hair stylist had a baby and stopped working. Kat was a referral from my good friend. Simply amazing! They give you a «relaxation» session which includes a 5 – 10 min neck rub and parafin hand waxing (no charge). The hair wash stations are THE BEST! You just lay down in the chair — no neck kinks. Then for the luscious shampoo and head massage. Hair color and cut are simply awesome. I now totally trust Kat to do whatever she wants with my hair! It’s shiny, healthy and she doesn’t over process. Oh yes, and then there is the mimosa while you are sitting in the chair! The salon is very clean and staff is friendly as well as professional. You won’t go wrong! Enjoy!

I am so glad I came to see Alexis. I live in Oceanside and have had the same hairdresser for years because she knows how to do color well. But as time went on, she became to laxed about doing my hair. She would cancel our appointments, run late and give me excuses as to why she could not make our appointment. I dealt with it because she was the only one I trusted with my hair. I explained to my co-​worker that I was not happy with my hairdresser so she recommended Alexis. I have seen Alexis (Lexy) for a couple of months now and I am so glad I did. I read their reviews and was very impressed. Alexis knows how to do color and she recommends what is best for your hair. My hair was looking over processed and becoming dry and brittle. My hair is very healthy now and I get many compliments on how shiner and rich the color looks. The Salon is really cute and the whole staff makes you feel so welcomed. They call to remind you of your appointment and the first thing when you walk in your asked if there is anything they can get you, tea, water etc… I feel very welcomed. I definitely recommend Alexis, you will not be disappointed with her work.

After moving to San Diego three-​years ago I had a hard time finding a hair-​stylist who I can trust to do a good job with my layers. I was referred to Le Salon Du Kat by a friend (Ericka) who’s hair always looks healthy and stylish.
Katherinne is an expert on cutting layers. She pays attention to your needs and gives you honest feedback. Not to mention, her salon is the cutest in pink!

I debated writing this review, but my hair was ruined in September last year by Johanna. It was similar to a Brazillian, however after spending 7 hours that day, my hair was horribly wrecked. I have singed hair, burned hair and all I can do is let it grow out. I pleaded for my full refund of $ 350.00, but only got ½ my $$ back. She was not knowledgeable on this technique… I feel like they are all trying to be someone they are not… this is NOT LA, it’s Poway. I will never go back!!!

When it comes to my hair I’m extremely picky! I’ve been coming to Le Salon Du Kat for more than 5 years and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been to almost all the stylist there, and they’re all equally talented. I’ve even had an amazing facial from Katie! The salon is very very clean and I never feel rushed. I can’t wait to see Katty at my next appointment.

I love love love this place and my husband loves going as well you get very pampered it so much more than a hair cut

Kaylynn is the best. I went to this salon for the 1^st time and Kaylynn listened carefully to what I wanted for my haircut and style. I have never looked so good after a haircut. My husband ended up taking me to Valley View Casino to show me off. WOW… I was very pleased with my hairdressers demeanor and styling techniques. I paid $ 55.00 for a haircut and style. Definitely worth the money. Thanks Kaylynn I feel amazing.

Love this salon. The owner, Kate is the ultimate professional and is completely sincere in her desire to give you the best salon experience ever. She has transformed my hair from an over processed mess to being healthy and beautiful… she definitely knows what she’s doing!

I’ve been here twice for Michael and he is a doll! And the salon is so freakin cute and really clean, along with everyone who’s so friendly yet professional. I just recently had a baby, so I hadn’t been back since, but I will be returning soon. Great salon! And Michael is a damn good stylist himself… kudos!

I have been to nice, classy salons before where even the hair dressers were so snooty and over the top expensive. But this salon was maybe 100X better than any place I had ever been before. Kaylynn C was the young girl that worked on me cutting my hair, conditioning, giving full highlights, including a mini massage, a long scalp massage and a paraffin treatment on my hands.
I was offered a drink several times and because I was driving I opted for spa flavored water rather than wine which I will definitely take them up on the next time since I am making sure my husband goes with me to the next appointment I booked. There were men in there and getting awesome hot towel wraps, scalp massages, paraffin hand wax treatment… all for the price of a haircut for men.
My husband is going to think he died and went to heaven. I have already told several friends about Le Salon Du Kat. Oh, my hair? I am very picky about my hair. The haircut I received was perfect, soft and shiny and I requested to not get the hair dryer too close to my head. I have asked many other hairdressers to not get the heat too close to my scalp but they always do anyway… even at pricy salons. Kaylynn C actually had me relax during the blow out which never happens.
THIS is the experience I have waited 60 years TO FIND. everyone IN THERE, THE STAFF, THE OWNER, everyone, was so nice. The salon was very busy but I was treated as though I was Kaylynn’s only client and she took her time with me. This is my new forever salon. Thank you Living Social for introducing me to this salon.
BTW, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my hair and I told Kaylynn my ideas. She is the expert and told me why I should go a different direction… she was right! I am glad she had the boldness to let me know my ideas were not the greatest! She would have done what I wanted but I was glad she suggested something different! My friends today said my hair looks fabulous!

Headline — You should go here if you don’t value your time
.
I have been to Le Salon Du Kat earlier and it was a good experience. So I found no reason not to book another appointment there for a hair cut. I went to their website and looked for free slots, looked at which dresser was available and voila — booking was confirmed.
When you book online, you also have to give your credit card details as they have a cancellation policy which charges you 50% if you cancel late. As a part of the booking confirmation, i got a text and an e-​mail. It is a smart arrangement bombarding you with information across multiple channels to ensure you don’t forget your appointment
Unfortunately, this smart arrangement is applicable only for customers as their hair stylists seem to have extra sensory perceptions which makes such mundane methods of reminders superfluous.(sarcasm check)
So i reached for my appointment on time and was asked to wait for my hair dresser as she wasn’t there yet. After having waited for 20 minutes, the person on the reception asked me some rudimentary & somewhat unnecessary questions
1. Have you come here before? — Unnecessary
2. Did you get a confirmation? — Unnecessary
3. DId you call us to confirm your confirmation ?- Beyond words
4. Do you want a specific hairdresser — Rudimentary — No, I am ok with anyone but your website forces me to choose one person
After a thorough Sherlock Holmes like investigation, she revealed the truth which had two possibilities
1. The stylist may not have checked her mail — amazing
2. The system may not have sent a mail to her — even more amazing
As a result of this, she was not there in the salon. I tried to understand her explanation but it made no logical sense. To be fair, i moved to San Diego after having stayed in Europe for four years, so I don’t have any expectations of customer service.
So i kept my cool and asked her if there was a solution to this. Her solutions (you can judge how good they were)
1. You can wait for half an hour more to get some other stylist (so 20 minutes waiting + 5 minutes of irrelevant questions + 30 minutes more wait made it logically & morally difficult for me to accept it)
2. You can come back later in a different day — atleast that way I can save the 30 minute waiting
I respectfully declined both the ludicrous proposals and left the place promising to write a factual review so that others may learn from this experience
PS — The salon runs a policy of charging 50% cancellation fees, logically it should run the other way round too. If they did confirmation my reservation across mail and text and then failed to honor their commitment, should they not pay me? I know that the contract law would not allow it but it’s a good food for thought
So that is my story and you can judge if 1 star is a fair review or should i have tried to give them a bit more or hopefully a bit less

This is my favorite salon, very clean, with black and pink interior. Great freindly stuff. My hairdresser Katherine is always taking care of me in addition to my hair, I love to have a glass of champaigne or wine, and then get complimentary spa treatment for my hand and shoulder massage. Highly recommend. Veronika

I love my new Salon! Great people! They are all so attentive as soon as you walk in the door:) Lexi cuts and styles my hair, I constantly get compliments ! I have referred a couple friends and they love it too! :)

I’ve been going to see Kat for a few years now and she’s the best! She listens, shares ideas, and gives me a great haircut & style every time! Not only that, but I really like the paraffin treatment, massage, and cocktail I also get with my haircuts — talk about full-​service! The staff at Salon du Kat is very professional and friendly, and there is never any pressure to buy a bunch of products (which I really appreciate).
Kat gave me another great haircut yesterday and I am looking forward to trying a gel manicure soon. An hour-​long mani service? Yes please!
Thanks Kat, love my hair & Salon du Kat!

I had a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. The manicure was one of the worst I’ve ever had, gel or otherwise. My nails were uneven and lopsided I had to keep asking for the technician to file more even after the gel was added. There are huge areas on the side or bottom of some nails with no color. The pedicure was something I could have done at home and done a better job.
I didn’t notice just how bad my nails were (even with the corrections I had to ask her to make) until I got home.
The only reason I gave the salon 2 stars is because the woman at the desk and phone was professional and courteous.
