We specialize in seamless beaded row extensions, crown topper hair loss solutions, and customized hair color services, all performed with meticulous care by stylists who truly see you.

JACQUI
“I've always seen hair as a fundamental element of our creative self-expression. It's a form of art. I feel privileged to connect deeply with the amazing women who sit in my chair, and utilizing NBR, help them rediscover their unique beauty and confidence.”
A Southern California native with a creative spirit and a deep love for transformation, Jacqui began her hairstyling journey in 2001. She first sharpened her skills with the renowned Toni & Guy, training as a color specialist before stepping into a leadership role on the color training team at Daniel Michael Salon in San Juan Capistrano.
Early in her career, Jacqui felt a magnetic pull toward the world of hair extensions. After years of mastering various techniques, she discovered Natural Beaded Rows®—a method that deeply resonated with her. The results spoke for themselves: her clients were glowing, confident, and transformed from the inside out. Her passion led her to the NBR Flagship Salon, DKW Styling in Laguna Beach, where she became not just an artist but a mentor—coaching the brand’s student base and shaping the next generation of extension specialists.
But her heart for transformation didn’t stop at extensions. Recently, Jacqui became certified in the Crown Mesh Integration technique—designed specifically for women experiencing thinning or fine hair at the crown. Extensions alone aren’t always the solution, and Jacqui recognized a need in her community that wasn’t being met. This new skill allows her to empower even more women who want to feel confident in their hair again, especially those who may have once felt overlooked. For Jacqui, it’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about helping her guests feel seen, supported, and truly beautiful.
The birth of her son sparked a new wave of purpose, creativity, and drive, ultimately leading her to launch The Temple—a luxurious yet laid-back sanctuary offering personalized, high-end hair experiences with a side of soul.
Outside the salon, Jacqui and her husband Drew are living their best lives—chasing sunsets, curating playlists, exploring new corners of the world, and making unforgettable memories over amazing meals. Their passion for life, music, and culture is the heartbeat of The Temple, making it a space where guests feel not just pampered, but at home.

“Hair is my canvas, creativity is my tool, and connection is my inspiration. Every masterpiece I create is designed to make my clients feel as confident and beautiful as they truly are.”
Hair is Mary’s favorite form of artistic expression—blending creativity, connection, and a deep understanding of the science behind her craft to deliver personalized transformations that her clients wear with confidence every single day.
With four years of experience at the NBR® Flagship Salon, Mary has trained under some of the top educators in the industry and refined her expertise in Natural Beaded Row extensions. Her specialty? Dreamy, seamless blends that not only look effortless but feel like an extension of you.
She thrives on collaboration—there’s nothing she loves more than bringing a vision to life and watching her clients light up with joy when they see the final result. Her goal is always to enhance natural beauty and help every guest leave feeling elevated, empowered, and truly seen.
When she's not behind the chair, Mary is likely hitting the gym at 4 a.m. with her college sweetheart turned husband (yep, they've been obsessed with each other for over a decade). She's got a weakness for Cafe Rio, a serious thing for Alani Nu, and she won't say no to a well-earned espresso martini.
Between true crime marathons (she’s that girl who can recite Law & Order: SVU episodes) and Sunday sports binges, Mary brings that same energy to her work: focused, passionate, and all-in.

“Beauty shouldn’t come at the cost of our health. I believe in creating transformations with clean products, positive energy, and doing so in a space where creativity can thrive. Welcome to The Temple.”
With 17 years in the industry, Dana is a true master of her craft—known for her precision, thoughtful artistry, and a deep commitment to creating an experience that feels as good as it looks. Her journey led her to specialize in Natural Beaded Rows® (NBR), where she spent 3 years at the NBR Flagship Salon in Laguna Beach, refining her technique and mentoring alongside some of the best in the business. Her fine attention to detail and grounded presence make her a trusted go-to for seamless, elevated transformations.
While her professional path has evolved in many ways, Dana has always lived a lifestyle rooted in wellness and intentionality. A long-time advocate for non-toxic, holistic living, she’s now on a mission to bridge the gap between high-end hair services and health-conscious choices—proving that luxury and clean beauty can absolutely go hand in hand.
Outside the salon, Dana is basically a modern-day homesteader. Her world revolves around animals (chickens, dogs, cats... and rumor has it, there may be more on the way), non-toxic living, and dreams of cultivating her own line of luxurious, clean products. She’s been with her firefighter fiancé for 9 years, and together they’ve built a life rooted in love, purpose, and plenty of fresh air.
At The Temple, Dana’s vision has come full circle—offering clients an elevated yet grounded experience that honors both beauty and well-being.

"Jacqui is my hair angel! She listened, understood what I was looking for and created the most inviting experience for me. She exceeded all of my expectations both in knowledge of NBR and she achieved the exact color I wanted. I will be forever grateful for finding her. Thank you for making my hair dreams reality!"

"One word describes my experience: AMAZING. I've had NBR extensions for years in the Bay Area, but it's a whole new experience with Jacqui. She took the time to make sure my blonde color (which definitely had a bunch of different chemicals and too much purple shampoo in it when I came to her) was just right. She also took the time to educate me on how to properly care for my new hair. I appreciate anyone who helps me get the most out of my investment. She's also hilarious, got my sense of humor, and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I've already recommended her to three people because I'm now a Jacqui convert."

"Jacqui has been doing my hair for almost three years now, and my hair has never been more beautiful!
From the moment you sit down in her chair, she makes you feel special, and really listens to your wants and needs. She takes your vision and somehow makes it 1000x better! She has that extra something, a total gift that is so hard to find.
Jacqui’s patience, extensive experience, and hilarious banter has made her more than a “hairstylist” to me, I consider her my close friend. I no longer dread going to get my hair done, now I can’t wait for my appointment! I can’t speak highly enough about her professionally as well as personally. 10/10, highly recommended, I won’t ever go to anyone else. ”- Morgan
