Acappella Hair Design & Color Studio

Attention temeclicans… If your looking for some bomb balayage then look no further, you need to see Lauren! She hand paints everything herself and is very precise. She is super sweet and listens to what you want and makes it happen! Being a brunette it’s hard to find someone that makes you the perfect golden and she nails it.

If you are looking for a salon with professional staff, this is the place to visit! I was scheduled for an appointment on a first basis premise, but had to be seen sooner, due to an event that I was to attend. I had the fortune of having an appointment set up with ‘Laura’ and she is still wonderful 5 appointment later :) I am extremely grateful that I have finally found a salon and a hairdresser with the expertise I am looking for when I have my hair done on all levels.

When making my appointment, the scheduler listened to what my specific requests were and paired me with Lisa, who is a perfect match. Lisa did a wonderful color for me yesterday. When I asked information about the product she uses, I was impressed by Lisa’s excitement and knowledge about hair color and the Eufora product line
. Lisa is truly a hair color specialist.
Before making my first appointment at the salon, I did research Eufora and chose the salon partially because of this. I came in with 8″ of natural hair color, and 4 inches of colored hair which she matched perfectly. Lisa did a full foil weave from dark brown hair to blonde. The texture and condition of my hair when leaving the salon is great. The salon itself is tucked away and a bit hard to find, but worth the time. The salon is beautiful, open and full of stylist’s who seem very happy to make Acappella their home. The atmosphere was friendly almost like visiting family. The complete experience was pleasurable from start to finish.

Great place to go for cuts and colors!

Lovely salon just outside of old town Temecula. I’ve gotten my hair done a few times in the past year. Every time I get it done people always compliment on how rich the color is and how healthy my hair looks. The salon staff is always friendly and professional, they even give a complimentary call prior to your appointment as a little reminder and they offer coffee and treats during your visit which is a nice touch! I must give a special shout out to the wonderful young lady who cuts and colors my hair. Laura phillips, she always works with me on how I want to do my hair (I love changing it up) and she always respects my wishes and we work together to create a color that compliments my skin color and is going to keep my hair looking shiny and feeling healthy. She always makes my experience comfortable and she is so genuine and friendly. It’s important for me to not only be happy with how my hair turns out but that whoever is doing my hair to make the experience feel welcoming and she just knows all the appropriate questions to ask — you feel like your talking to a friend, which is nice when your in that chair for a good amount of time :) I highly recommend Laura as your stylist — she’s flexible with hours, her prices are fair and you will leave feeling happy with her services. Also great music choices at the salon!

I really loved my experience there! Everyone is so kind and wiling to help. The girls at the front desk are so nice! I loved they gave me water, decaf tea and a granola bar during the many hours I stayed there. I recommend Lynn DaSilva, she is a DevaCurl specialist, she has the highest level in training. DevaCurl is a special way to dry cut curly hair and to style it. She explained the whole process of applying the products and how to take care of my hair. I recently am embracing my curls after decades of straiten it and cutting it the wrong way. I totally recommend the DevaCut for all the curly gals out there, and Lynn is the lady for you!

This place is amazing! Came down from Vegas for a friend’s wedding and needed to get my hair done because I am not the slightest bit creativity and girlie. So I made an appointment here and it was an amazing experience the minute I stepped through the door! I didn’t wait long at all, and when I was getting my hair done they were able to squeeze me in for a quick false lashes application. Lindsay did my hair and Erica applied my lashes (even though she was already done for the day! How sweet) Anyways, both girls were absolutely amazing as was everyone else in the salon. Anything i asked for the response was always «Absolutely!» Or «Of course!». Very professional, very clean, excellent customer service. Very happy with the outcome. Thanks ladies!!! :)

Dellamaria called me to say how sorry she was about my experience on my wedding day and made a very kind offer to make it up to me. But to be honest, I was extremely frustrated when I wrote my original review and I really don’t think she deserves two stars. It was very, very hot in the bridal changing room at the venue, over 95 degrees that day. My head and neck were definitely sweating, and that moisture probably contributed to the curls collapsing. There was wind when I walked down the aisle too. None of that was Dellamaria’s fault– things will go wrong on your wedding day, that’s what everyone tells you, and it’s true.
My actual experience at Acappella Salon was very good. I had 6 bridesmaids with me, and they all looked great by the time we left. My makeup and hair looked gorgeous in the salon. Dellamaria is extremely kind and very talented.
My advice to any future brides: think about where you’re going to be. Outdoors? Possibly windy? Crazy hot? Choose a hair style that will work for the environment. And absolutely ask for a «real» example of the style at your trial appointment– don’t let anyone give you a «rough» idea. Make sure their technique will work for your hair, and last all day out in the elements.

I am a frequent client at the Acappella Design & Color Studio. The salon was a wonderful ambiance, warm and classy. Everyone who works there is extremely courteous and friendly. Dellamaria has been my stylist for 2 years. What I appreciate most about Dellamaria is her smart and thoughtful approach to caring for and styling my hair. When I first went to Dellamaria my hair was damaged and the color was awful.
I had seen how well Dellamaria was styling and coloring my mother’s hair. My mom’s hair would look better and better each time she came back from an appointment with Della. So I went to get her help with mine. The products that she uses have worked wonders. My hair is the healthiest that it has been in 17 years. It is evident that Dellamaria loves her art (not work). She is a very talented professional.
I can see why clients drive in from other cities just to have the hair done. I could not ask for more!!!

I have no words to express how thankful I am for Dellamaria Underwood at Acapella Salon. She is incredibly talented, beyond kind, and has a true gift for hair and makeup. In my head I knew exactly how I wanted my hair and makeup for the wedding, and although words failed me when I tried to explain my vision to her, she asked the perfect questions to help me figure out what I meant, and ended up producing the most beautiful look! We did two consultations because Della wanted to make sure she knew EXACTLY what I wanted.
Della has such a beautiful heart, as well. Not only was my wedding venue about 2 hours away with traffic, but she also had to do my makeup and hair in a tiny little room with no AC and limited space to spread out her equipment. I got married at an apple orchard, which meant there was uncontrolled climate, lots of bugs, and not a lot of plugs or fans to work with. Della never once complained, but rose to the occasion and did it with a smile. We also ran into a few other issues with the timeline of our wedding, but Della worked at an efficient pace and got everything done, with time to spare. Because it was miserably hot and muggy in the room where we got ready, due to all my bridesmaid’s curling irons and so many bodies, Della worked extra hard to make sure my hair stayed put and my makeup stayed in place. She used some amazing techniques that ensured my look stayed fresh until the second I walked down the aisle. I have incredibly thin, straight hair, and Della made my hair look voluminous, and full, while maintaining the loose elegant look that I was going for.
Never in my life have I ever felt more beautiful and classy. I didn’t look like a model, I didn’t look fake… I looked like the best possible version of myself. That was very important to me. My husband fell in love with me, not a fake and dolled up version of me. So many of the guests at our wedding asked who did my hair and makeup and I didn’t hesitate one bit to refer them to Della. I know that her work is top notch and that there is truly no other stylist I would want next to me in the hours leading up to my wedding. She is a wonderfully gifted stylist and I am blessed to have had her making me feel my best on the most important day of my life, thus far.
Not only did Della make me feel stunning on my wedding day, but the haircuts and styling advice she gives me on a regular basis encourage me to care about my appearance and just all together feel confident about myself. After a terrible experience in college with a haircut at a local salon, I didn’t cut my hair for 4 years because I was terrified by the idea of a bad hack job again. I met Della and began to hear great things about her and her haircuts, so I decided to take a chance and trust her. This was a big deal for me! She gave me a simple cut and cleaned up my ratty ends. I began trusting her more and more with each visit to the salon. So much so, that a few months ago, after I got married, I decided to cut my hair from the middle of my back to an A-​line bob at my shoulders. I went in completely confident and ready for change! Della did an amazing job on my «new do» and I don’t regret cutting my hair AT ALL! I can’t imagine my hair any other way now!
If you want to feel stunning for a special occasion, or just for everyday life, Dellamaria is your girl! Trust me when I say, you won’t regret using her services. She is the BEST!
Thank you, Della! I adore you!

Great environment, this place is a one stop shop with amazing artists! I got my hair done by Kaitlyn Rapp and I love it! My hair feels and looks the healthiest it’s been while getting colored. Great products. I also got my nails done by Rinda and was very pleased as well. They have great friendly people working here.

Acapella Hair Studio is AWESOME! Friendly, Fun, Clean & Very Knowledgable!!! Remember you get what you pay for, so stick with Acapella!

Kevin is amazing. He has not only highlighted my hair but given me extensions and an amazing product (euphora) to make my hair healthier and stronger so when I take the extensions out my hair will be longer and healthier and no longer need them. I can tell such a difference in my hair. He is very professional and intelligent and honest. He has good recommendations and if you are very specific of what you want he can probably do that too. I have lived in many places and never had such a great hair stylist. I was recommended to him

After 33 years in the Palm Desert area, I moved to Temecula and was out of sorts in knowing who to trust with basic services… much less my hair. I visited a stylist who was recommended by someone I met, but was not happy. Then I met Danielle Wohltman. I was impressed by her experience and decided to give her a try. What a world of difference. She had me complete a questionnaire which helped her understand my hair «likes» and «concerns.» She asked me how I styled it and then showed me exactly what products she used and how to style it. She explained each detail so that I felt confident in styling it myself each morning. I love my hair and am so thankful for Danielle.

Lynne DaSilva is the cat’s meow! My naturally curly hair finally got the treatment it deserves! After years of going to stylists who did not really understand curls and the need for them to be cut dry, I
found Lynne. She is not only the ultimate professional but someone who really cares about her clients. She spends time teaching about how to use the Deva Curl products at Acappella and it is no surprise that she travels the country teaching other stylists the technique. Lynne colored my hair as well and it is the best color! She is talented, experienced, has high standards, and is a lovely person. I feel fortunate to have found her.

They do a great job with dying hair. NY hair came out perfect. Just a bit too pricy for me. But I love the job they did.

Alright, I am updating this because the owner wrote me back.
First off, what kind of owner attacks her customers instead of taking the feed back? You didn’t help your case at all.
Let me see if I can do this in your order, Hair color. She was told it could be done in an hour and a half. Not five hours. There is a huge difference. Do I think she was poorly versed in how long such a drastic color change would take, yes. She isn’t the professional though you are and you told her an hour an a half. If she knew all the hair rules she wouldn’t be going to you in the first place.
Also, dying your hair yourself is not that hard if it isn’t drastic and i don’t get why that is relevant at all. She came to you because she wanted salon quality instead of at home quality. You are the hair experts, not her… get your act together.
When it was orange, she told the girl she had to fix it. PRICE WAS NEVER WENT OVER AT THAT TIME!(which for all you new readers turned out to be $ 500!!) I am so glad that as an owner you believe this is done, but rainbows don’t taste like candy lady… and your business needs some help. The stylist did not make her aware or walk her through the process prior. she didn’t tell her it should be a few sittings over a period of time. That stylist knew it would take 5 hours and wanted the money. She told her an hour and a half and quoted 150 dollars because she knew that no girl would never sit in her chair had she told her the truth. Don’t put a blind eye to your problems, its part of good owners 101. Your stylists do not communicate price or process to the fullest, at all. Not for color correction, not for basic all over color, and not for weddings/​wedding day.
You do not charge by the hour for just color correcting service. I inquired at the time of my experience and was told it would be by the hour for my hair as well. My color change was not drastic, not difficult, and was all over color. And no, «any salon who knows what they are doing would quote pricing per hour since there is no way of knowing how long the process will take»…INCORRECT. Don’t try to say what other business do and don’t do! I wasn’t born yesterday! I am currently doing the EXACT same color change from deep red to blonde. And my salon has their head pulled out, because they did follow the process that you hope your salon follows and it isn’t costing me $ 500.
DO NOT say how we felt when we left your salon. YOU have no clue! Just because I do not scream and stomp my feet like a baby doesn’t mean I am happy. It means I am an adult. On my wedding day I was not going to bring all of these issues up… its a JOKE to think that someone should ever have to. I hate a lot of my pictures not because of my photographer but because of my hair. I did not change what i wanted. I had the same picture every time.
Which brings me to my wedding. I stand by the girl, she is an incredibly nice person. And there was a point where I threw my hands up, not literally but figuratively, and just stopped communicating. this is why:
My first hair trial I came from another salon who didn’t even do the style i wanted. Like not even close. so i expected her to wash my hair and start over. She didn’t. She worked with what was already there to save time. It wasn’t two hours. Maybe it would have been if she had done it the right way, but it wasn’t.
I called for my second and told her i felt like the trial should have been done with fresh hair. So this time, I came in with my own version of fresh hair. I didn’t think i should have to pay for it, but i just wanted someone to do my hair on my wedding day and didn’t want to cause a fight over $ 60. So i just paid for it. I took pictures and put it next to the photo of what i wanted and it still wasn’t right. Closer, but not the same look. My hair looked helmetish. like I had a helmet with a braid.
The day of. I had the flu the day before. My nieces and nephews were throwing up the day of. Yes, I had other stuff going on. HOW RUDE of you to turn me into a «distracted bride». You are just showing that you do not care at all. Trust me, I wanted her to hurry up with my hair as well! When it hit 11:00am YES!!! I had to get up and direct people! Wedding are hectic! Have some understanding! And to my girls defense, she did. When I was over charged, my exact words were «I am just going to pay it, and i will handle discrepancy’s later because this is not the day for that». Later, my husband and I decided it wasn’t worth the fight because the girl was nice, but that I would leave a review on Unilocal instead. The price was previously quoted, but it wasn’t the price that was charged. And I paid it without arguing, not without question, because it was my wedding day and that was not the time.
Sherri, You have angered me by responding to this with defense. The customer is not right with you, clearly. Complaints aren’t even heard. Sad.

I have been going to Monica at Acapella for about five years now. When I first moved to this area, I had a hard time finding a good hairdresser and had several bad experiences elsewhere. I was so happy when a friend recommended Monica!
She always makes me feel beautiful, is willing to try new things with my hair (blonde, dark, ombré, highlights), and also gives helpful suggestions. I look forward to going because of the nice atmosphere, Monica’s awesome work, and the way my hair turns out each time!
I asked Monica to do my hair and makeup for my wedding last year, and it was just what I wanted. She came out to Ponte and I could relax knowing that everything would be perfect.
Many thanks to Monica for years of good hair days!

This is an awesome place for a haircut «even for a guy». LOL…
The staff is friendly the service is impeccable the shop is spotless and very comfortable and Hillary is awesome!

I so rarely write reviews because I usually just use Unilocal to check out any place with which I’m unfamiliar. I’ve decided that I need to rectify that and share my experiences with establishments that I’ve come to love — in this case Acappella Hair Design — and namely Monica Picazo!
Monica has been my personal stylist for over six years and has styled everyone in my family at some point. Lately, she has transitioned me from dark brown/​black to blonde and from long to shoulder length hair. All without missing a beat and that’s saying something as I have very hard to lift Asian hair! When I visit Acappella, it’s like a little respite from my busy schedule and one of the few times I can truly decompress. She has set up automatic scheduling and I receive a text and/​or call a day before my next appointment. — it’s a no brainer!
Super convenient, extremely competent and always creative. I highly recommend Acappella and especially Monica! But shhh — don’t tell too many people… I don’t want her to get too booked for me!
