Description

Modest Spot Salon was established in 2010. Stephanie Carrillo the owner and San Clemente Native started her love with hair 20 years ago. Stephanie designed Modest Spot Salon to be a comfortable caring space, perfect for creating. Last Year Modest Spot Salon was showcased on CBS 2 This is LA. The episode was a huge success and was an honor to be featured. Stephanie spoke about how she only wants the best for the clients and has extended that to the products they carry, R&Co. R&Co is formulated without parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, and petrolatum. R&Co is all vegetarian, cruelty-free, gluten-free and UV protective. The collection is one simple way to avoid dangerous toxins such as parabens which have been directly linked to cancer.

Where has this salon been all my life?! From start to finish, my experience was a total 10/10. Steph was so welcoming, and an amazing stylist. My hair has never looked this good; it’s shiny, bouncy, and totally transformed. Plus, the whole place has this great energy. Can’t recommend this place enough—my hair and I have found our new home!

Very quiet and quaint little studio hair salon in San Clemente. I drive from San Marcos every 6 to 8 weeks to have Stevie color and cut my hair. She is the absolute best!! Then there is lots of little restaurants and plenty of shopping close by. Makes for a perfect day❤️

Stevi makes my medium-long hair look gorgeous!!! Chocolate base with caramel highlights that sparkle and shine. Even strangers give me compliments!

Super cute and clean salon. I booked a haircut with Stephanie, the owner, to fix some wonky layers I got somewhere else and she did an awesome job blending them in and giving my hair some life again. Also she was very friendly and made me feel calm & welcome. Overall a very good experience! Highly recommend.

The BEST hairstylist you can find! She knows what she's doing, very professional and kind. Highly recommended ! Thank you Stevi 😀😀😀

Sarah Begg the hairstylist is nothing less than superior! Her space is bohemian chic and has such a cool vibe. Her willingness to really listen to your desired style needs and the time and expertise she dedicates to make it happen is unparalleled. In addition, she brings out the natural color and frames my face in the best possible way. When I am lucky enough to see Sarah, I celebrate my hair’s overall hydration, shine, color and cut, and the beauty that she reveals in me with her magical skills. Her expertise in color brings to the surface the same color I had as a young girl, welcoming my innocence back. I am hooked and recommend her service, and treatment with confidence. You will love every aspect of your experience with her, her expertise and your end result will make your time in the mirror a time of appreciation. I also have fallen in love with Sarah’s products the all-natural R & Co as I have seen rapid maximum results from them which is an added value. They also smell delicious. Sarah Begg is amazing, very professional and a beacon of light. I am a big fan, a customer for life! Thank you for the gratitude you brought out in my reflection. -D. Tiano, San Clemente, CA

I strongly recommend Bonnetta at Modest Spot salon if you are looking for a stylish men's cut in San Clemente but don't want the Marine / high and tight look. Best haircut in town, bar none!


Feb 05, 2014

BEST SALON in San Clemente! I would refer Stephanie and Caprice to anyone. I feel refreshed and beautified every time I leave their salon! :) My blonde is a beautiful color and it doesn't feel dry and damaged.

Where do I start!?! First off, the salon itself is absolutely adorable. Modest as it may be, it's so cozy and inviting I'm constantly looking around for design inspiration to use at home! Parking is always available and the neighborhood(ish) location is a breath of fresh air from your typical stuffy, high-priced, snobbish salon. Now on the the important stuff...HAIR! Stephanie is a color magician and is always willing to recommend her professional opinion on how to achieve the best look (never seen Caprice for color but I have seen her clients leaving and they look fab too!). She took my one-dimensional blonde to another level by blending low-lites and adding multiple shades; creating the natural look I was going for. Caprice is also a miracle worker! She recommended tape extensions (as opposed to bead) from Hot Heads and I couldn't be happier. Much lighter feeling against my scalp, easier to manage, and you'd never know it wasn't my real hair. Not to mention she cut the application time I was accustomed to by hours (yes, plural)! Needless to say this dynamic duo deserves your serious consideration if you want amazing hair that makes you feel a few inches taller!
