I recently had a Brazilian free blowout, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Heather is incredibly skilled and made sure to understand my hair type and what I wanted. The results were stunning; my hair has never felt this smooth and frizz-free. The treatment left my hair shiny and healthy-looking, and it's so easy to manage now. The salon atmosphere is relaxing, and everyone is so friendly and professional. I highly recommend this treatment to anyone looking to transform their hair with long-lasting effects. Five stars all the way! 💇‍♀️✨

This salon is the perfect place to go treat yourself. Emily welcomed with big smiles and a good wine, and took great care of my hair.

Love this spot - just found it this this year and have been back a couple times. Emily is the best - it’s hard finding a good stylist for men. She knows what to do so that all the stuff does what it should haha. Stoked on it

This salon is wonderful! Emily is super friendly and does a great job. My hair looks and feels amazing. Thank you so much.

Emily is the best hairstylist that I have had here in San Clemente. I’m a brunette, and it was hard to find someone local to highlight my hair. She is super friendly. I love how she does my hair. I highly recommend her...

I found my people! As soon as I walked in, I was captivated by the music, decor and the people! You can’t help but sink into the vibe! The vibrant colors match the vibrant energy with all the girlies at the Salon! Heather has quickly become a good friend and the bonus is - she gives me rad color and cuts! Even though she’s my go to, the entire team is so fun and talented, you can spend time with any one of them! Thanks for creating a salon that is fun, vibrant and a place you actually wanna hang out in! Appreciate you girls! See you soon!

I went here for the first time yesterday and loved it. Very clean and cute salon. My hairdresser Emily did an amazing job and made my hair look exactly how I wanted it to. I went to work after my appointment and everyone loved my hair. I would definitely recommend salon locale.

I wholeheartedly endorse Salon Locale, particularly the exceptional skills of Emily! My preteen daughter, known for her discerning and challenging preferences, was transformed by Emily's expertise. She delivered an exquisite balayage and an impeccable haircut, leaving my daughter more delighted than I've ever witnessed. Her radiant smile post-appointment was truly a testament to Emily's patience, precision, and artistry. For anyone seeking a stylist capable of navigating the most exacting standards, Emily is unequivocally the ideal choice!

Emily has been the best hair stylist for me and is always cutting a fresh look on me. Her style for men’s cuts is 10 out of 10 and it’s super easy to make or adjust appointments as needed. I highly recommend Emily at Salon Locale!

Emily is a hair artist! have been getting "fast food/cheap" hair cuts all my life. I got tired of finding a good stylist only to have them disappear after a few months which started the hunt for a new one all over again. I finally decided to try out a "full service/full price" salon. Emily has cut my hair twice now and these have been the best cuts I've had since I started growing hair. Definitely worth the upgrade!

Jan 22, 2025

Fun, fabulous and five stars for this amazing salon! All stylists are perfection…my son, both daughters and myself have been super impressed with our hair results and highly recommend!

Jan 22, 2025

So happy to have found someone who can cut women's short hair AND do Demi color! Emily is amazing, very easy to work! Highly recommend!

If you haven’t discovered this little gem of a Hair Salon “ Salon Local” you are really missing out! Everyone there is top notch! I love my hair cuts by Emily! I have very fine but a lot of it ( yes I’m grateful) but it’s not easy to find someone who knows how to cut it. Emily takes her time and really does an excellent job.

Jan 15, 2025

I’ve been looking for a great haircut and salon experience since I moved to San Clemente three years ago. I bounced from barber to barber but nobody could get my hair the way I wanted it. Enter Emily at Salon Locale. She not only gives me the best haircuts I’ve ever had, she does it with ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail is unmatched to what I experienced before. Five stars and highly recommend!

I brought my daughter to the coolest place in Orange County -she wanted bangs and a black color - we came in to see Mikayla - she knew exactly what to do , she was kind and very professional, - I would recommend anyone who is particular - to come here .. satisfaction guaranteed! Thanks from a mom who needed to make “it” happen!

Salon is so cute, love the decor! Everyone is so friendly!! And most important my hair is always on Point!!!

Jan 05, 2025

Heather has done my hair for the last 15 years, and she is THE BEST! I've gone from jet black to platinum and everything in between, and she gets it right every time! All of the stylists at Salon Locale are absolute Pros!

Jan 05, 2025

I absolutely love this salon, the vibe is so inviting and comfortable, I have only trusted two people to do my hair and Mikaela is one of them, she’s gets my cuts and colors perfectly and she’s so fun to talk to, she makes me feel right at home, I moved away and I honestly am thinking about taking a trip just to get my hair done every 6 months 😀

Jan 05, 2025

It’s been a little over a year since I started seeing Heather who is an absolute doll! I was looking for someone with a meticulous and focused approach to cutting, someone who would cut with confidence! I found her! And she spends extra time getting my bangs perfect. We have also been lightening my hair just enough to help blend the gray. She has taken me from brunette to a more dark dimensional blonde color which has helped. Blow drying is the best…lots of smoothing and volume! And the bonus is that the salon is cheerful and bright! I always look forward to my appointments with Heather!

Read reviews, and started coming because I was tired of paying the crazy prices in Laguna Beach. I found a great Stylist, Melissa is amazing and nails the color every time and the vibe is incredible. She is quick but detailed. Great location and fun, friendly peeps. So happy I found a place in town where you feel beautiful and it feels like home. I can afford to keep up my hair and enjoy the company of all stylists.

Jan 05, 2025

Thank God I’m yet another fortunate happy customer. You automatically feel like you’re surrounded by experts and you leave there looking and feeling awesome! The entire Locale team just makes you feel at home because they’re attentive and easy to talk to. Isn’t this one of many reasons why you shouldn’t move to far saving you to deal with finding a gem like Salon Locale?

Jan 05, 2025

The salon was a total vibe , Melissa was amazing and my son loved his hair cut !

Can't say how much I enjoyed not only my hair transformation, but the overall experience. Heather was absolutely amazing. Showed her a picture of what I was wanting and she tailored it so that it looked perfect on me. I can say I have never been so happy with my hair. My significant other was shocked and so very pleased with the look. Gave me a new bounce to my step. Everyone at the salon was so inviting and made me feel beautiful. 100% recommend.

Dec 05, 2024

I had the best experience at this salon! Heather did an incredible job adding movement and layers to my hair—it’s honestly the best haircut I’ve ever had. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted and made sure I left feeling confident and happy with the result. The whole staff was so welcoming and sweet, and the atmosphere was super relaxed and inviting. I’ve never felt more comfortable at a salon, and I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!

Emily is amazing!! Before seeing her I had a nightmare color disaster. She worked magic. My hair looks the best I’ve ever seen and it feels so fresh and healthy. The color looks amazing and it feels so soft and healthy. She revived my dry, saltwater damaged hair! I wish I could give 10 stars!

Nov 05, 2024

Great vibe! Love the way my hair looks after a blow out from Mikaela!

Nov 05, 2024

Heather and Emily are the perfect duo for my hair!!! Best color and cut ever!!!

Nov 05, 2024

Heather and her girls make a good hair day even better.

Nov 05, 2024

Heather has been doing my blonde highlights for years, and she truly is the best at achieving gorgeous blonde highlights! My hair has never been healthier, and I always leave feeling fantastic. Her salon is so cute and inviting, making every visit a pleasure. If you want a stunning blonde stylist who genuinely cares, Heather is your go-to! She is the best.

Nov 05, 2024

I just had the most amazing haircut experience! I showed Heather a picture and she looked at the photo throughout the service and transformed my hair. She’s literally the Picasso of Hair! The salon has a great vibe and the staff is so friendly. The cut itself is perfect—stylish, fresh, and super easy to manage. Heather paid so much attention to detail, and I can honestly say it’s the best haircut I’ve ever had. They also do cluster lashes there so I added them for the event I was going to and I LOVE them! BEST SALON IN SAN CLEMENTE!!

Nov 05, 2024

I just started going to Salon Locale earlier this year, and I just love it! The salon is super cute and Heather is incredibly talented. I went in for a haircut, something very low maintenance, and Heather knew exactly what would look good on me. She is highly skilled and took her time on my hair, which was very much appreciated. And Coco, her assistant, was just as amazing! She was the sweetest and did a fabulous job with styling my hair at the end. Highly recommend them for an overall great salon experience!

Nov 05, 2024

Mikaela is the BEST for hair coloring. I went in with BRIGHT red hair and then I walked out with light brown hair with blonde highlights…. How she did it.. IDK! But she is a wizard!

Nov 05, 2024

My son has been going to Emily for a year. He has very curly hair and not just anyone can cut it. Emily is an expert with all hair types and my 16 year old son, who is very picky about his hair, is always happy with his cut. She also gives him tips on how to style it so that it stays healthy looking and tamed.

Nov 05, 2024

This salon is adorable, and I had such a great experience. Heather has such an eye for style, and matched my cut to my personality so well. Her assistant was the sweetest and spent so much time loving on my curls.

Nov 05, 2024

When my hair stylist retired I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try different salons in town. My first place to try was Salon Locale. That was the only place I tried because I was so happy with my entire experience I did not need to look any further. If you want to pamper yourself this is the place to come. I was greeted by Coco who gave me the best shampoo experience because it included a wonderful scalp massage. Heather was my stylist. She really listened to what I wanted. It's was no ordinary haircut. Heather really understands the science of hair cutting! It was the best haircut! The salon is clean, bright, warm, welcoming.

Heather has been cutting my hair for over 24 years since the Diva Salon days on Macarthur Blvd. She takes good care of me. Andro J Chavez

I recently had an incredible experience with Mikaela at Salon Locale. When I came in, my hair was in need of serious care—dead ends, grown-out highlights, and far from anything that felt like “me.” Mikaela worked her magic, bringing my hair back to a shade close to my natural color, but with added warmth and dimension that feels fresh and beautiful. She also gave me a cut that not only restored my hair’s health but kept the length that’s true to my style. I couldn’t be happier with how she brought my vision to life, even with the minimal direction I provided. She crafted a color and look I didn’t even realize I wanted, but it’s exactly what I needed. My hair has never looked or felt better—thank you, Mikaela!
