Murrieta’s Top 10 Hair Salons & Hairdressers

The Profile

La Mode Salon's Creative Director Linda Bower was born and raised in Ireland and completed a four-year apprenticeship at the David Marshall Hair Academy in Dublin, a programme known for teaching Vidal Sassoon fashion techniques. She worked at the academy for several years before relocating to the United States, and that formal training informs the salon’s emphasis on precision.

La Mode Salon lists editorial-grade product lines including Bumble and bumble and Kevin Murphy and states that every stylist on the team brings at least five years of professional experience. The staff roster highlights specialists in balayage, corrective color and blonding as well as a curly-hair specialist, and several team profiles point to recent portfolio work online for client review.

La Mode’s service menu concentrates on precise hair cutting and advanced colouring techniques such as corrective color, color balancing, traditional color, highlighting and multi-dimensional blonding promoted by the salon. Stylists regularly attend advanced programs, including Bumble and bumble workshops and Wella studio sessions, and individual team profiles reference recent work and booking links or social handles clients can use to preview technique.
