Hair Salons in Ladera Ranch

Legends' stylists are seers with scissors, mystics whose vision allows them to see the fashionable future hidden in your topside spindrift, coaxed into being with deft, daring, and gossip. The luxuriating handjitsu of their wash and styling will transport your hair into a realm of cosmic sexy, perfectly attuned to the vibrations of the Hairverse. The experienced hair artists are well versed in looks that run the gamut from modern to edgy to timelessly classic. They'll also apply a Kérastase conditioning treatment, specially chosen for your hair type, that perks and restores your hair with vitality and shine as if it were a parched desert plant dumped in a public swimming pool.

During the no-chip manicure, a stylist paints nails with successive layers of a gel that, when exposed to UV light, becomes harder than performing calculus on a diamond. Once applied and treated, this glistering coating can only be removed by soaking in a hot tub of acetone or by a skilled micro-Zambonist.

At Splitends, men and women are encouraged to experiment with their look, which may result in strangers' inaudible mouth gapes and excessive staring. Confidently pass off the reigns of your flashy hair-drawn chariot to one of the many aesthetically adventurous stylists. Call on owner and resident rock sculptor Christopher Hall, whose razor-sharp electro-clash cuts will have Grandma pulling her hair out and then selling her hair on the Internet to pay for an electro-clash cut. Or Gina, whose knowledge of high-end products will leave you with locks more flowing than a soccer star’s, more volume pumped than a soccer crowd, and more sparkling than a freshly washed minivan belonging to one well-kempt soccer parent.

It’s hard to capture photos of a straight-from-the-salon look without hiring a personal stylist to follow you to a photo shoot. But luckily for its clients, Basin Street Hair has figured out it's easier to take the opposite approach—the salon hosts a photography studio where clients can pose for corporate and modeling headshots. Before they say "cheese" or scream "cheetahs!," though, clients enlist Basin Street’s beauty professionals to accentuate their natural features with makeup or shape their hair into new styles. They also turn to a licensed aesthetician, who draws on 10 years of experience to treat skin imperfections with custom facials and exfoliating enzymes and peels.

Though Luca Shea the Salon is small and tucked away from the bustling streets of Dana Point, the sophistication, creativity, and skill of the stylists within know no bounds. The husband-and-wife styling team of Ben and Farra Shea Coury have gone out of their way to make their boutique space welcoming and cozy, crafting a menu of salon and spa services for men and women. They strive to complement faces of all shapes and tones with precise cuts, bold hues, hair extensions, and products from Moroccanoil and Aquage. They also highlight tresses with Scruples, a bleach-free system that damages hair less than traditional techniques, such as mailing strands to the sun. When they aren't primping coiffures, they daub visages with facials and embellish features with Fenix Cosmetics products.

Kara and Wade Walston, owners of Hush Hush Bang Bang, have provided a fun, eco-friendly work environment for their team of stylists for nearly a decade. While designing and building their salon, Kara and Wade incorporated recycled and reclaimed materials to create a functional and convivial atmosphere established on sustainable practices. The space now welcomes guests into an airy environment accented by lime green and vibrant florals, invigorating minds as hair techs invigorate manes with cut, color, and extension services. The stylists stay up to date with tress trends and new styling techniques by taking regular "field trips" to industry classes, and they use a mix of high-end and vegan hair products to accommodate all clients regardless of which shampoo they prefer to squeeze onto a baked potato.

In an effort to give back to the planet and the community, stylists actively participate in recycling and water-saving initiatives, volunteer with the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and offer free haircuts to clients who donate more than 10 inches of hair or heart-shaped padlocks to Locks of Love.
