Legends II Hairstyling — Local services in Rancho Santa Margarita

Having very mixed feelings about my appointment recently.

Wanted partial highlights and a cut. Did not book correctly on the website which is my fault, and booked for a color and cut (2 hour time block). When I arrived, the stylist let me know she couldn’t do a haircut with the amount of time and what I wanted, I said no worries and was going to schedule a haircut for another day. We got started, I told her what I wanted and showed her the reference photos (two of which were my own hair). Towards the end of the session, before my hair was blow dried, she said “if you want me to add more highlights in when we do your haircut I can” and once it was dry, I realized it wasn’t quite what I wanted. I had told her I wanted very blended blonde, lived in, that would grow out nice and after the first session my roots towards the front were super blocky.

I came in a few days later on 9/28 and asked her to please add more highlights and blend it out. Told her I wanted some shorter strands of hair in the front for my bangs and then layers with 1 1/2-2 inches off (hair above the collar bone which she confirmed verbally). After she washed it and cut it, the length wasn’t quite what I wanted but I’m used to having more trimming done after the drying. She dried it, did the bangs and added some layering. After it was dried and there wasn’t much of a trim, I asked if she could take more off and I was told that I’d have to book and pay for an entire other haircut to have that done.

I’m pretty bummed because I was very specific about the length and I had just shown her my photos and put the trust in her…

She was super nice, the salon is super nice, and my hair doesn’t look terrible but it wasn’t what I asked for… the color I appreciate that she corrected and I can live with the way it’s colored now but I’m pretty upset about the haircut.

My cut and partial highlights was $255 not including tip, which I feel like is a lot to not have the length...

Don’t bother coming to Legends with any ideas or pictures of what you want your hair to do look like because they’ll do whatever they want and damage your hair. Worst experience I’ve ever had, terrible communication (it’d take her days and multiple attempts on my end to return my messages, she cancelled my original appointment 2 hours before (that was my sign from universe that I should’ve avoided this place but I understood things come up and rescheduled because I needed my hair done).

I I wanted to go lighter, Emma ended up turning my hair orange, when she offered to retone it, it ended up dark brown, dry and smelled like Palmolive dish soap, the smell of their product was so nauseating.

I had to get so many conditioning treatments and luckily I was able to go to a more experienced stylist to restore my hair back to its original condition but it was not cheap.

Avoid Emma Lewis and Legends II at all costs. Don’t waste your time, money, or integrity of...

It was my first time seeing Michelle today for a haircut and honestly it was a miracle that I found her! I trusted my gut when I was looking for a stylist and I made the perfect choice! Nobody in my 24 years of life had ever treated me and my hair with such passion. She gave me so many tips and she did everything that my hair needed to be healthy! She wanted me to leave like a princess and I definitely felt that way! Her assistant Jessica is just as amazing! I highly HIGHLY recommend Michelle! You just earned one new HAPPY client! She will take care of you like...
