I have been coming to this place for a few years now. I was going even before they moved. From the moment I started going, I knew I loved the place. Right away, I noticed the vibe of the place. If I do not feel good somewhere, it affects my experience. This place has good energy. They are trendy, chic, and urban with a touch of pizzaz. Their new location is gorgeous and the green walls definitely help make for a calming feel. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and really made you feel a part of their family. They make sure you have a great experience. I am always greeted with a smile and they only needed to learn my name once. While you wait, they ask if you would like anything, water, tea, coffee. Not every place does this and this is a great perk. It makes it more welcoming, homey, a great experience. I always feel so relaxed when I go there and having that element of being offered a drink shows me they care about their customers and not just getting them in and out for a haircut. I have liked each girl that has done my hair. I have had to get a new person due to staff changes, but that happens and the staff there is so nice and apologetic. This is the kind of place that you build good connections with the staff especially with the person who does your hair. I am always so happy to go and see everyone and it is one of those places that is therapeutic. You just can feel here that everyone really truly cares about you as a person. I was going through my breakup. I decided I needed a new look and the staff showed such concern and support for the hard time I was having. It really is a family here and the people who come have been customers for a long time. This is a place where I am a customer for life. Never worry about not getting a cut you do not like. Everyone listens to how you want your hair and doesnt cut it how they want. If there is something you do not like or want fixed, just ask! The staff also knows their products extremely well, so ask away on what product to get. Another perk is the have an area where they sell clothes and jewelry. It can be a little pricey, but you can most likely find something that is reasonable or look at their sale section. You can even try on the clothes to see how it looks and fits. I have bought some things here and love what I got. At Pistachio, you are not just a number, not just someone they brush through the door. It is an experience, a place to get to your zen, a place to feel connected, its family. Go to Pistachio for all your hair needs! It is the place to go!! <3

Autumn Rose is my stylist extraordinaire! Whether you want a cut, color, or both, she can do it all! Autumn Rose has been styling my hair for about 7 years and I wouldnt trust my hair to anyone else. Having a bad day? Go see Autumn Rose! Bored with your current style? Go see Autumn Rose! She has changed my life, my mother in laws life...and i know she can change yours! Autumn Rose has my utmost recommendation, make her your stylist guru and experience the greatness!!! Unfortunately, Autumn Rose has moved on to a better opportunity. With as nice as Pistachio salon is aesthetically, whenever I would call to make an appointment, the host taking my information would always try to be push me into a time slot I had not asked for. When I was unable to take the suggested time, I would just get attitude. Also, when I was getting my hair done, it felt like I was being watched and, for lack of a better word, hounded by what I could only guess was the head stylist. My goodness, Ive come to have a relaxing day getting my hair done, not to be stalked by management. Autumn Rose is worth seeking out for sure, and she will ALWAYS be my stylist. Just NOT at this salon!

If I could pin this salon as "one of my favorite things", I would. Pistachio is trendy and upbeat, yet still has a relaxing vibe. The receptionists, as well as the stylists, are very friendly and personable. You WONT find any of the following staff here: 1) Snooty 2) YOU work around MY schedule 3) Spends more time looking at himself/herself in the mirror than you OR 4) Just plain incompetent ---- that Ive run into so many times in other salons. Lucy has been my stylist for the past few years-- and after she does my hair, I marvel at how wonderful my hair looks. Although my hair is naturally dark, my husband loves me as a blonde-- so Lucy makes it happen without damaging my hair. Ive been to numerous stylists over the years-- too many to count-- and never left feeling like my hair was actually healthier than before I walked in! I love mingling with the other clientele as we check out the boutique-- YES, shopping is great there as well-- and I almost always leave with a gift for a friend or something for myself!! OH, and I did I mention the awesome shampoos? I could fall asleep in the chair. My only disappointment is that I cant go there every day!!

My aunt is a frequent customer of Pistachio hair salon and I recently moved out to California. She took me there to get my haircut by Kelly, and i loved it! I previously lived in the midwest and was used to going to the same hairstylist for the past 9 years, so I was iffy about going to a new salon. This last week I went in for my second appointment, and got a pixie cut. I have wanted my hair cut like this for about a year and a half and Kelly did a FANTASTIC job!! I have had no regrets of chopping my hair off, and am WAY more confident now than I was before. Kelly is such a sweetheart, and since she has a pixie cut herself, I was very confident in letting her be in control of changing my new look! She also gave me a little color, which I love as well! Ive gotten nothing but compliments on it, and many of the women I work with have asked where I got it cut! I have nothing but great things to say about my experiences as Pistachio :)

I had been using the same gal in Orange County for about 15 years. I moved to Vista a year ago and was so hesitant to try someone new that I still drove back to Orange County. Well that got old and I started searching the internet. I try to support local businesses, and randomly picked Pistachios and randomly picked Kelly. Boy did I get lucky. The salon employees go out of their way (friendly, coffee or tea etc....) to make you feel welcome, and Kelly did an excellent job from day one. I have red hair which is the most difficult to match and make it look natural for covering my gray and blending it all in. She also gives me fantastic cuts which is not easy on me either because my hair is soooooooooo curly. As long as I live here I will never go anywhere else. Oh and GREAT head massages during the wash!
