Kinship Hair Co.

Nick squeezed me in last minute and nailed exactly what I wanted! It’s been years since I’ve felt this confident. As I step back into the beauty industry, he reminded me why I love it. More therapeutic than therapy. And turns out he’s the owner?! So humble and talented. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

New clients: 1) Have an actual exchange with your stylist about pricing.

Just had my first cut done here with Lauren and I can’t say enough what a great experience it was. Lauren put real time and effort into finding out the style I was looking for and then executed it beautifully. Her thoughtfulness and care made all the difference. It’s been many years since I’ve had a haircut that made me so happy. It’s a bonus that the salon itself is gorgeous with amazing light. Plus online booking and not feeling pressured to buy products are major pluses. I finally have a salon I’m happy to become a regular at!

I cannot recommend Lauren at Kinship hair enough. She gave me a transformative cut and color, I walked out of there feeling like a new woman. She was considerate of what I wanted while also suggesting things that would compliment my hair type and color. Her expertise shone through with her suggestions, and I am in love with the finished product. She was professional, kind, and created a relaxing and rejuvenating atmosphere that left me feeling great inside & out. Thank you Lauren!

L'Atelier Salon is the most beautiful salon in Santa Cruz. I have been going there for about 4 years, and while Megan is the only stylist I've ever had, I know that all of the other stylists are top-notch as well! If you want to feel like you are at the spa while getting your hair done then this is the spot!
