Karen Allen Salon & Spa - Riverside Plaza

Amazing experience for the first time, she identified that I very dry scalp and gave me many solutions when asked on how I can fix it on my own. I got a scalp wash and treatment and my scalp felt MUCH better! Everyone was nice and welcoming. Would visit again!

Daisy listened to what I wanted my hair to look like. She consulted someone when she was double checking on best way to do that. Turned out great! Love the scalp massage and hand massage. I felt pampered!

My stylist Daisy was able to execute exactly what I showed her. She took my long dull hair and cut 5-6 inches and gave me the perfect round layers. My hair now looks healthy and shiny. She was patient and checked in on my comfort periodically. From the temperature of the water during hair washing, to the very last strand placed on my head after she styled my hair. The salon was so beautiful and clean and when the receptionist checked me in, she offered me the most delicious tea. I love the experience at Karen Allen. From start to finish and everything in between

Sonia is the best! She listened carefully, and gave me exactly the style and cut I wanted. The lavender massage was an awesome special unexpected treat. You can’t go wrong entrusting your hair to Sonia. She will take very good care of you.

I've been searching for an Aveda salon that I like since I'm new to the area. This has been my 3rd attempt and I believe I found a winner. Finally! The staff is welcoming and the service has been at an Aveda standard. Who's doesn't like to be pampered! I can't wait to go back ;)

I’m relatively new to the area and decided to give them a try. Jake was my stylist and I loved him! Super friendly and he took the time listening to what I wanted. I’m feeling good and confident in my new haircut! Thanks Jake, I’ll definitely be back!

Always amazing care and results at Karen Allen. Cristina is truly talented with color and creates beautiful highlights. Lindsey does my extensions giving me the long hair of my dreams. Karen is a very hands-on owner and gives attention to every detail of the client experience. This is a team that cohesively works together and it shows. Thanks again for consistently delivering the best experience from top to bottom every time.

Francine was just wonderful. She was amazing at confirming with me what I had wanted to do to my hair and giving me amazing tips on how to style or look better. Not only did she give amazing advice but she was super friendly and welcoming. She made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed during my whole time there. Highly recommend picking Francine. 🤩

Stephanie and Baylee always do a great job. I am always pleased with the results.

Tarina did a curly cut and showed me how to use the products to style my hair to get the look I have wanted for so long. I am thrilled to know I can now wear my hair curly instead of up in a bun all the time.

Jan 05, 2025

Terrible job, I will never go back there, we had a very bad experience.

Jan 05, 2025

Beautiful salon, super friendly staff & stylist Stephanie is a true professional. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes past my appointment time. That's why I've been going here for 5+ years. A little pricey but worth it.

Best haircut place in Riverside!

I had the pleasure of having my hair done by Amber at Karen Allen, and I couldn't be happier with the results! She gave me the most beautiful and natural color that perfectly suits me, and the cut is flawless. Amber is incredibly talented, professional, and sweet, making the entire experience enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional service and excellent results.

I walked into Kelsi's chair with ALL the nervous energy (like I rehearsed what I wanted to tell her for 3 days), But OMG. First off, Kelsi is not just a stylist, she's basically a hair goddess. For context I have thin, stick-straight hair that usually looks about as exciting as a plain piece of toast. I get there is only so much I can do with it, usually I’m told a bob cut or straight blunt cut is best. But I felt like the right stylist would get me. I wanted some shape, volume and for someone to just take their time with my cut instead of just putting in minimal effort and writing it off as just me having thin hair. When she talked to me and worked her magic I have never felt so SEEN. She gave my hair texture and movement and SHAPE. Literally addressed every single concern I mentioned. When I left I immediately called my mom (who referred me) and my SIL and basically told everyone how amazed I was with her. I’m ngl like it made me emotional lmao. Anyways haircut aside her vibes were immaculate, like so effortlessly cool fr. She was professional, creative, and radiating this warm energy that made me feel so comfortable. I cannot recommend her enough. I don’t think I’ve ever left a review for a hairstylist before, but I felt COMPELLED. Anyways this is your sign from the universe to get your hair done by Kelsi.

Jake is a talented stylist, I will be back to book with him again and again. I enjoyed my time at the Karen Allen Salon. The staff took excellent care of all my needs and the services were more than I expected. Thank you, Dorien U.

Jennifer gave me the Aveda healthy version of a Keriten treatment. Then gave me a blunt cut. She is a perfectionist! The best!!!

Dec 05, 2024

Sonia was professional and knowledgeable. I love my new hair!!

Dec 05, 2024

The facial was the must caring and understanding the hair was left amazing. Love the message during the treatment

This was my second haircut by Leilani and I luv it! From the layering to the volume, she really gets to know your hair and is a master of her craft. Thanks Leilani!
