"I just had another FANTASTIC experience today with Jenna at L'Atelier. The initial hair wash with massage was dreamy. For my cut, she created the most amazing flattering style, by listening to my thoughts, knowing my hair and lifestyle, and bringing her expertise and creativity. She suggested easy ways to keep my hair healthy and happy, which is just what I need! To top it all off, I got some great new products that I'm am thrilled to use. I left the salon today feeling fresh and special. Thanks again for a five star experience!"

"I was in town visiting family and L'Atelier was recommended to me.  After a week of sun and surf damaging my hair I was due for a trim and repair treatment.  The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. The salon itself is warm and welcoming, lots of natural light and refreshing beverages.  I was impressed with the quality of great products. Jenna was really helpful in letting me tell her the look I was going for and she was able to make it happen for me with great suggestions and pointed questions to ensure my look was what i wanted, (and that it looked amazing once finished).  I wanted fringe and she really dialed me in. Before I left, she stuck a sticker on me that said "I am beautiful" I strutted back to my hotel with my fresh hair on-point! I am already looking forward to my next visit back to Santa Cruz and visiting L'Atelier…

"I had a drastic change yesterday with Jenna. From very long white hair to a great chic, short, easy to take care of hair cut. I could not be happier with the result. This is my first visit to L’Atelier Salon, and I will  be a repeat customer from now on. I am almost 93. It’s only a number, but I still enjoy looking good, and Jenna certainly helped! Thank you!"

"My hair has always been a point of frustration, but lately I've been getting a regular blowout at L'Atelier and it's changing my life. It's such a lovely feeling to not have to stress about how to hide my hair because it's a frizzy mess or otherwise unmanageable. I also just got an amazing color treatment from Jenna. L'Atelier has a great environment - the stylists all work together, troubleshoot and assist each other. Also their details are en point - their scheduling system is seamless, their cucumber water is delicious, they always have coffee, wine, sparkling water on demand. Thanks L'Atelier for being lovely and for making my life easier!"

I must say, Jenna is a gem. First of all, she is always very warm with me when she sees me (always after such a long time); she is also very generous.  It is so rewarding to go get such an amazing haircut with her. She has not only the ability to give the best hair cut but in addition, she has the ability to craft something way better than I even expected. She always does an architectural design plan in my hair! I feel beautiful and must say empowered having my new haircut with Jenna

“I cannot find enough words to express my experience with Jenna at L'Atelier.  I have battled with my fine curly hair forever! I actually had an afro in my younger days!  I also have spent years blowing it out straight which was a real pain. If there was a little bit of humidity in the air it would just become a ball of frizz!  Over the years I have experimented with many products and hair stylists. Then I learned about the Deva Cut. Curly hair has to be cut DRY! I found the Deva Curl Salon while living in New York and learned quite a bit.  In the past, I was never happy with a cut because the stylists weren't knowledgeable or trained to cut curly hair! After the cut, when your hair dries, the curls are healthier, bounce up and your hair is much much shorter than anticipated!   There are stylists everywhere who are certified through Deva Curl Salon. I have learned that some say they are but they are not truly certified. Well, Jenna is a MASTER. She was the original owner of L'Atelier and sold it to Megan who was a stylists at the salon.  Jenna has trained her staff and is so passionate about hairstyling. She first consulted with me to learn about what I like, don't like and what my vision was. She offered her opinion and we both came to an agreement. She advised me to take things slow! I wanted more layers in the back since my hair wasn't curling much and seemed flat and straight.  She was concerned about leaving it too thin on the bottom and creating a hole so she took it slow and cut a few long layers. I had told her I was not much of a fan of the Deva products (been there, done that), so she suggested I try the Kevin Murphy products. I was so amazed a the final results! My hair never felt and looked so healthy! To my surprise, she scheduled me for a follow-up at no charge the following week.  She wanted me to do my own thing and decide if I wanted any changes. She even gave me samples of all the Kevin Murphy products she used, so I can try them out at home! To try and make this short......I went back and we decided to layer it a bit more and Balayage with lowlights. I am so in love with my hair now! I can't stop touching it! It's truly a miracle! Jenna is even more knowledgeable, understanding, patient and skilled than the stylists I met at the Deva Curl Salon in New York.  I had said to her, "You should be the one out there training stylists on how to cut curly hair!" Well, be careful what you wish for! She has recently informed everyone she is retiring from L'Atelier! When I first heard this I was devastated. She reassured me Megan is also a MASTER and will take very good care of me. My next appointment will be in October and Jenna is going to be there to guide her. Stay tuned. I know Megan will be great! I read a few reviews about the prices being too expensive.  Their styling skills, follow-ups, friendliness, and communication skills are so so worth it!”

"I had a fantastic experience with Jenna. She took a great deal of time to understand me, my preferences, lifestyle, etc. so that we could land on the right haircut. She answered my many questions thoroughly and with patience. Not only did I appreciate her attention to detail and general kindness and warmth, but I also (and perhaps most importantly!) ended up with a haircut that I love. Thank you, Jenna! I will definitely be a repeat L'Atelier customer."
