Before she started cutting she sat down and listened to my concerns, needs, wants and let me show her the hair style pics I had collected on pinterest. Then she gave me a free olaplex treatment ($25 value) that really helped bring my hair back to life! My hair is visibly healthier and shinier. After all of this she then styled my hair and explained each step and each product as she applied them. But she didn't stop there. Before I left she went through each step again one by one making sure I knew how to do the style myself!

treatment add-ons
Olaplex + Deep Treat $40+
30 min. 3 part treatment that reconnects the broken disulfide bonds in the hair caused by brushing, styling, and chemical applications. This treatment is followed by a custom conditioning mask to address your specific type of damages.
Detox + Deep Treat $50+
30 min. Recommended 3-4 times per year. This treatment will deep clean your hair and scalp, removing mineral build-up, product build up, and other environmental pollutants that accumulate deep in the hair and scalp.
Mineral build up can block products and haircolor from penetrating the hair fully. Minerals can also cause damage to hair and also can clog hair follicles , making the individual hair strands grow out thinner.

Inferior products sold cheaply at most retailers contain cheap ingredients that don’t have any beneficial nutrients for the hair. It may feel soft and shiny but in reality it is the wax/silicone coating caused by the ingredient PVC and other inferior ingredients. It’s like comparing fast food to a plant based diet!
You use styling products to achieve a certain look or style but you may also be using styling products to add shine or pump up the volume of dull, lifeless hair. The more styling products you use, the more weighed down your hair becomes due to the resins building up that your shampoo isn’t removing. It becomes a vicious cycle you can’t seem to break.
You can undo the goo and also get to the root of the underlying issue to prevent dull, lifeless hair Hard water can cause drying, dulling mineral buildup that product resins attach to. Soft or softened water can make hair limp, and using more styling products only leads to more product buildup.
- Detoxify hair by removing resins from styling products with a gentle sulfate-free shampoo that is much gentler than traditional clarifying shampoos
- Restore vital shine, silky softness, natural volume, and maximum manageability
- Rebuild hair with plant-derived, moisture-boosting proteins
Styling products are great for style but they shouldn’t weigh your hair down. With Malibu C, they don’t have to!

About
Hey friends , thanks for visiting! Ive been in the beauty industry for 25 years. I got my start in San Francisco California and surrounding areas back in 1998! I apprenticed under Master stylist and colourist Anthony K. Trent and worked my way up the ranks of jr. stylist to Senior stylist in my first 10 years.
I don’t like to call myself a master at anything, as I believe in constantly learning and growing in my career and life! I’d rather see myself as a lifelong student.
That being said, after relocating to San Diego, I apprenticed again under four more amazing Master stylists in the San diego area. I learned so much from these talented caring people whom I’ll forever be grateful to!
I constantly seek out classes to evolve and grow as a haircutter and colourist, and love learning new techniques that I can take into the salon – I work with all types of hair! Since having my boys who have such different curly textures, I have sought to learn how to work with different curly textures, and I’m having so much fun doing it!
In recent years, I have really enjoyed studying chemistry in regards to hair. There are so many interesting things I have learned and love sharing with my guests! I am also studying trichology (the science of hair) and bring all I am learning to help my guests achieve the healthiest hair possible. It’s just the best!
I enjoy meeting people from different paths in life, and learning about them and making these connections is EVERYTHING! I often think about how lucky I am to know such amazing people, and I know that it never would’ve have happened had I not chosen this career.
Thanks for visiting and reading about me! I cant wait to meet you!
XO,
Maricel

faq
Q: Why do I need a consultation before booking a colour appointment if I am a new client?
A: Consultations provide the opportunity for us to collaborate. Our time together will be spent evaluating the health of your hair, assessing your colour/hair needs, (maintenance, time, and budget)
Q: What if I’m not happy with my hair?
A: GASP! hopefully we had a great consultation to avoid said unhappiness. But it happens sometimes, especially with a new stylist – it takes time to build that relationship. I give my clients a week for any adjustment they feel they need after a cut or color service, complimentary, of course!
Q: What if I want a service you don’t provide?
A: I’m happy to refer you out to one of my talented stylist friends that perform that service.
Q: Why doesn’t my hair look as good as when you do it?
A: I will teach you as many times as you need and offer product and hair tool suggestions to make your home hair-styling life easier! I’ve even had clients bring their tools in and have me show them! I got you!
