Hair Salons in Dana Point

Beneath shelves of keratin serums, styling products, and color, wreaths of steam rise from complimentary mugs of coffee and tea. Scissors thrum and blow-dryers hum merrily nearby as stylists beautify hair for photo shoots or hours trapped in the penguin enclosure at the zoo.

Hair Gallery's team of hairstylists and technicians uses its keen aesthetic eye, professional skill, and products from brands such as Schwarzkopf and L'Anza during hair and nail services. As clients recline in shampoo chairs, stylists work Redken Color Extend shampoos into sudsy lathers before moving the action to the styling chair, where the professionals design haircuts to complement clients' features and daily styling routines. Clients with difficult hair can seek relief with a retexturizing treatment such as Keratin Complex by Coppola, or they can slow hair loss with Bosley regrowth systems. Meanwhile, nail technicians can put the finishing touches on a new look with manicures that buff and sculpt nails before lacquering them with gel or Shellac polishes that won't chip easily during back-scratching marathons.

These days, there isn’t much that Christina Albera can’t do with hair. The seasoned stylist draws on more than a decade of experience—including training with Vidal Sassoon and Redken—to realize her clients’ hairstyle aspirations at Salon Diva. Besides sculpting creative hairdos and adding dimension to monochrome strands with highlights and color treatments, Christina has a few tricks up her sleeve. Chief among these is her Brazilian Blowout keratin treatment, with which she straightens hair more safely and effectively than sticking curls into an electrical socket one at a time.

Katie Shumway believes that hair is an investment, so it should be treated with care and love. This is a philosophy she developed during her education at LA’s Toni & Guy and Vidal Sassoon, where she learned to tailor hair to the individuals' face shapes, personalities, and lifestyles. Now with expert stylist Rachel Tracy as her accomplice, Katie transforms tresses out of Olivia’s Expert Touch Salon. In addition to offering cuts and color treatments, the duo can nix unwanted hair from brow boundaries with a signature waxing session.

The stylists and aestheticians at Salon 105 provide a pressure-free experience, from their friendly demeanors to their zero-pressure shampoo bowls, which feature built-in head rests to keep client necks from aching. They amenably perform facials, waxing, and all manner of hair services. Even the products they choose convey an earthy, worry-free vibe, such as L'Anza's flower-based line of "healing color care" serums, which extend hair color without the aid of a protective museum display case.

MGM Hair Salon’s stylists keep hair healthy with precise, contemporary cuts along with color and styling services using products from brands such as Bumble and bumble, Enjoy, Redken, Schwarzkopf, and Bosley. The salon's colorists add dimension and vibrancy to hair with single- or double-process color alongside fortifying conditioning treatments. The salon’s hair wizards can also thread eyebrows with twisted pieces of string leftover from unsuccessful sessions of cat’s cradle.
