Baja is the center of the universe when it comes to hair. Truly. I originally met Malcolm, and he is the only colorist who has ever been able to take me as blonde as I want to go while still keeping my hair healthy, dimensional, and beautiful. From the beginning, he took the time to teach me about tone, undertones, and the exact shade of blonde I was trying to achieve — it felt like a real study of color rather than just a service. Since the first time he touched my hair, I have never let anyone else do my color. I’ve been going to him for over four years now and what keeps me coming back is not just the results (which are consistently flawless), but the loyalty, kindness, precision, creativity, honesty, and incredible level of talent he brings to his craft. He genuinely cares about the outcome and about his clients, and it shows in every appointment. Through Malcolm, I met Jay. Before that, I had such a bad haircut from someone else that I refused to cut my hair for years. I was completely traumatized. The day Jay cut my hair, I finally decided to trust him and let him follow his vision — and it was absolute perfection. He gave my hair a shape and structure I had never had before. The cut moved beautifully, framed my face perfectly, and honestly changed the entire trajectory of my hair. He somehow understands hair in this architectural way — balance, movement, proportion — and the result is effortless but incredibly refined. I have very curly hair and am very previous about who I work with. Together, Malcolm and Jay completely transformed my hair journey. They are responsible for a huge part of my confidence and for hair I genuinely love every single day. I truly do not let anyone else touch my hair aside from this duo, and I honestly never will. Over the years, I’ve watched the exact same thing happen with so many friends. At this point I know 15+ girls who go to Baja and have had the same experience — once you go, you never leave. It’s become a core part of my larger friend group; everyone refers everyone, and it feels like a little Baja cult in the best possible way. The talent, the care, the consistency, and the atmosphere at Baja are just unmatched. If you care about your hair even a little bit, this is the place. Once Malcolm and Jay get their hands on your hair, you’ll understand exactly why.

Malcolm Cuthbert has been my hairstylist for years, and I cannot recommend him enough. His attention to detail when it comes to washing, styling, and overall hair care is exceptional. Malcolm truly understands different hair textures and takes the time to properly nourish both the scalp and hair follicles. Over the years, he has taken my hair through several color transformations from red to blonde and back to brown and each time he handled my hair with care, professionalism, and expertise. I always leave his chair feeling confident, and I receive so many compliments on my hair. Malcolm takes great pride in his work and consistently provides excellent customer service while also educating his clients on how to maintain healthy hair. If you’re looking for a stylist who genuinely cares about the health and beauty of your hair, Malcolm is the one.

I’ve been coming to Malcolm for 10+ years. He is a true artist when it comes to balayage. The way he places and blends color is incredible. He has an amazing eye for tone and placement, and the results always look effortless and beautifully customized. I don’t trust anyone else with my color. If you’re looking for someone who has mastered balayage and treats hair color like an art form, Malcolm is the person. Jay is the only person I trust with my haircuts. He has an exceptional understanding of shape, movement, and what works best for me. He really listens and makes sure the cut complements both my hair type and my lifestyle. I always leave feeling polished and confident. I couldn’t recommend both Malcolm and Jay more.

I’ve been visiting Baja Studio for a couple years now and always have an amazing experience! The friendly, professional staff makes me feel comfortable and pampered. Angela, the owner, is an exceptional colorist with a talent for transforming hair. Her attention to detail and overall expertise makes me feel confident that every time I visit her, I know I’m going to leave feeling great. Every stylist is skilled and welcoming, creating a relaxing atmosphere with outstanding service and stunning results. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been going to Jay and Malcolm for over 8 years, and they truly feel like family. Jay gives the best blowouts and always knows how to make my hair look amazing, and Malcolm has completely transformed my color over the years. He’s helped me embrace and blend my greys so beautifully. I fully trust them both — they care deeply about their clients and always want everyone to leave happy and confident. I can’t recommend them enough

Malcolm is a next level colorist. Truly an artist. So thoughtful and precise and able to create absolute magic. He’s been doing my hair for 20 years and his work only gets better and better. I am so grateful to be one of his many acolytes and I am so glad he’s found a happy home at Baja which has allowed me to meet the incomparable Jay. Jay’s ability to make art with scissors is unparalleled. I will keep coming back forever.
