Lara Caldas Hair

Lara is the best stylist! She fixed my uneven haircut with no problem and dyed it a beautiful color, all in less than 2 hours. Her salon suite is amazing, looks like a tropical rainforest and it’s very private. My hair is super shiny and perfectly cut and layered!

Before I met Lara I had never dyed my hair, but I was looking for a change. Lara has guided me through the process and helped me grow my confidence with every cut and color. She knew that this was a big change for me and made sure that I felt comfortable every step of the way. Each time I leave her salon, I feel so happy with how my hair looks and feels. I've tried red and blonde and am blown away by Lara's knowledge and talent regarding color. I would recommend her for anyone looking to try something new with their hair.

The most wonderful environment. Lara is a very friendly woman and very talented. I am so happy with how my hair turned out. 100% recommend. I had long hair with really dead ends, and I was scared to go anywhere because of the potential of a lot of my hair being chopped off. Lara understood what I wanted, and helped me figure out what would look good.

I love going to get my hair done with Lara.
I used to work in a pool and I can see how healthy my hair is now vs back then. Lara really cares about making you feel good in you hair and making your hair grow stronger.

I am so grateful for Lara and her expertise and flexibility. She knows exactly what my hair needs and magically is able to fit me in her schedule at the last minute at times. You are amazing Lara! It is always a pleasure to have my hair cut and dyed with you. After coming to you for over 10 years; I continue to be a loyal and satisfied customer. 🙏🏽❤

Lara is simply amazing! Lara listened to what I wanted and made suggestions on how to make my dreams even better. She is a master at what she does. And who doesn’t like leaving a salon with the best hair ever!! I can’t wait to go back to Lara!!

I absolutely love Lara and what she can do with hair! I have been going to her for a couple of years and don't want to go to anyone else. She has done hair color and gloss for me,
and recently started cutting my hair as I have it very long and have been reluctant to cut it. We ended up cutting layers six months ago and it's perfect, I couldn't be happier with the results. She is a fantastic hairdresser and stylist, and a wonderful person. I highly recommend Lara!!

Lara has taken me blonder, redder, and browner and each time done it impeccably. Her color and cutting skills are top notch, and that's coming from someone who struggled to find a stylist in Santa Cruz for years. I'm particular and every time Lara nails it. Fully recommend her for whatever you need, and she will always keep the health of your hair front and center. Love her!

Lara is absolutely amazing! The hair coloring and highlights were exactly the way I wanted! Not easy to find someone that can cut my curly hair. She did such a great job! Love the location and the Brazilian vibe! Highly recommend it!!!

Lara is amazing! I absolutely loved my haircut and color. She was so professional and truly listened to what I wanted and also offered advice on what to do to make sure my hair was beautiful and healthy. I loved the end result and was amazed on how my hair looked and felt. I will definitely return for haircuts, color and all my hair needs.

Lara is a gem! She has been my family’s go-to stylist for many years, and she consistently exceeds our expectations. She has the skills and expertise, offers trustworthy advice, and makes every visit warm and fun. We highly recommend her!

I originally found Lara through online reviews raving about her expertise with blonde coloring, and I was not disappointed! I'm naturally blonde but it has gotten darker over the years, and I swear Lara takes 10 years off when I go in, so I'm hooked now--very very natural. The new location in Capitola is great, parking is much easier and very central. LOVE the new decor, vibe is super fun, and the shampoo and cutting chairs are SO comfortable. A++

Lara is a true professional: on time, ready to listen ,consult,and execute. I am very happy with the volumizer she used to style my hair .

Lara is the most detail oriented hair dresser I know. She makes sure you’re happy with the results and if you wish any changes, she will do them gladly. I have never left her shop unhappy. I had a I highly recommend her for anything. Especially her skills with doing a balayage, I was so pleased. You won’t regret it !!

Lara is the absolute best. I have curly hair and she brought my curls back to life with just a simple trim. She also recommended a curly hair shampoo and conditioner to me and I use them daily!

The ultimate Salon experience. Lara Caldas Hair! Lara is the greatest hair artist in Santa Cruz area. No competition. She was previously at the Loft Salon and Lavish Salon. Both these vey foolish businesses let her escape, and open the PREMIERE Salon, in the Santa Cruz area. Private, beautiful, great parking, all her personal attention on you! Those other Salons had gossiping hair dresser’s. Could not hear yourself think. This experience at Lara”s new Salon is bliss. She will transform you into Marilyn Monroe! Bayalage from heaven. Sophisticated.

Lara has always been there on point and sharp with my hair cuts. She is fast and extremely detail oriented.
