The Shop Beauty & Art

Sarah Mills does the best nails ever!!! I always get compliments on them and her held last forever 303−913−3719

I’ve been going to The Shop to see Tammy for the past year. She is really professional and makes a physically painful experience seem bearable! She is responsive to texts and it is easy to schedule with her. I would highly recommend her!

Tammy is incredible! She is so gentle and leaves me looking flawless. She has an amazing attitude and keeps me comfortable, relaxed and makes the experience fun. I actually look forward to my waxing now. Thanks Tammy!

Tammy is amazing! I started seeing her from word of mouth and now I am recommending her to everyone! She is very professional and friendly. Makes any waxing experience as comfortable as it can be from eyebrows to Brazilian. Love you Tammy!

I don’t get haircuts regularly, probably only once or twice a year. But this is the 2^nd time I had Natasha did my haircut (within about 6 months), and I absolutely love my new short hair! I like the place too. The price is reasonable too. Definitely highly recommend this place and Natasha!

Got my hair done by Natasha, and I’ve never gone to someone that has taken such good care of my hair. She gave the BEST shampoo bowl experience, and listened to be needs, and she completely understood about how attached I am to my long hair! No more dead ends, and all the layers are even and BEAUTIFUL! I’ve had my hair down since I got it cut, when before it was just in a sad bun all the time. Thank you Tashi!

Jane Malone is awesome! Her quality of work is exceptional. I have her do highlights, lowlights, and finish with a haircut. She is spot on with coloring as I am very particular. She always manages to squeeze me in on short notice because I am very bad about making appts in advance and usually remember within a few days of a big event. I highly recommend Jane!

Gina McBride is the best! If you have CURLY hair, go see her! She knows exactly how to cut it, the technique and how it grows. Finally someone who understands and can tame my fluffy mop! She listens to exactly what you want, cutting little by little (you can always cut more off, but you cant put it back on) and is great with curly hair product advice. Super friendly and easy to talk to. Love that I can just text her for appointments, and very flexible.

Gina is awesome!!! She does a great job with highlights and has helped me with getting my hair to the perfect blonde and length. I feel completely comfortable with letting her do anything she feels would fit my style and it’s always cute. The salon is adorable. The way they decorated it is very hip. They sell jewelry and cloths and I love the style. All the stylists there are very nice, the environment is professional but relaxed. If your looking for a salon in Carlsbad this is it. Ask for Gina, you’ll look better for it.

I LOVE GINA!!! I recommend her to all my girlfriends. She did my hair before my bikini show and then again recently she did whatever the opposite if a ombré is. :) She has amazing skill. My hair comes out perfect, not damaged, beautiful and healthy every time. Don’t waste your time anywhere else!

Gina is my hair stylist here and she is fantastic. I just get a hair cut from her, so I can’t speak for any other services.
Pros:
She cuts hair really well
Listens to what you want
Doesn’t cut too much or too little
She is prompt and courteous and is a really fun person to talk to.

Erin does my haircuts, she is great! She’s really good about taking off just enough to keep it long but get rid of the dead ends. I like to work with a stylist that has my own style, and Erin is my vibe. Natural, beachy, laid back and cool.
Yes, I know I just gave myself a pretty great compliment right there. LOL.
But forreals, I don’t like having my hair cut by stylists that are all rockabilly black hair and bangs, or a platinum bob, or colored chunky streaks in their hair. That is not how I wear my hear. I have no color in my hair AT ALL. I love my hair color and people ask me about it all the time and who colors it… and when I say it’s natural they’re unbelieving. So, til I go gray, I am not messing with my hair color. And I hate it when stylists try to convince me to do highlights, lowlights, ombré… I don’t need to for the time being. And Erin never ever ever has asked me about color.
And the best part about that, for HER, is that as a salesperson, I so appreciate her not trying to up-​sell me something I don’t need at the time. But when I DO need to color my hair, I will have her do it. I respect so much that she can see I have naturally good hair color, and isn’t trying to pad the sale.
I am a client for life, unless I move very far away some day. Plus The Shop itself is really cute, I bought a cute dress for a Mexico vacation there, and a few pieces of jewelry as well.

This review is only for the front desk service– not for any of the actual beauty services. I was very disappointed when I walked in. There was no one there to greet me, the desk was full of pizza boxes and salad, and everyone seemed too busy to say hi. In fact, there was a woman doing someone’s hair right by the desk, talking to another lady about which earrings would look best and literally talking about the most casual things– and neither of the workers even acknowledged me. I didn’t know how to check in or where to go so I sat on the couch next to a fellow patron that had a glass of wine. Finally, someone came up to the front desk, couldn’t smile and asked what I wanted. I told her who I was here for and she walked away– coming back a few minutes later to tell me it would be a few more minutes. That was it– no offer for water, coffee (a big pot was right next to her) or wine. And even when I was getting my services done– the person doing them asked if the front desk person could get me a glass of wine and she said she was too busy (she was changing the dress on a manequin). Very, very unimpressed by general service of the salon (not the actual services) just the reception area.
