I am on the fence about this review. It's a 3.5 but Yelp only allows for 3 or 4 stars…read more I made an appointment on a Tuesday with Alan at 3:30pm but he didn't show up at the shop until 4. He didn't explain why and I am not sure why there is an appointment system if he wasn't there. I show him a picture of the style I want and he suggested me to get a perm. I explained I don't like perm but he kept asking me to get one before and after the cut. I understood my hair is hard and straight so a perm would make it easier to style, but I would have appreciated him suggesting another hairstyle instead of kept asking me for a perm. The haircut process was very nice though. Alan was very meticulous and it came out pretty nice. It took about another hour for the cut itself. Overall, I think the haircut is good and reasonably priced, but spending 1.5 hour for a simple cut is a bit too long. Maybe it's an exception this time. I would give it another try if I am in the area.

Situation: Color Correction *see photos*…read more Background: Bad balayage at another at Stilo Salon, by the owner no less, and turned out nowhere near the inspiration photos I brought in. I was hoping for beige highlights and got bright blonde. I asked for a refund and was only offered a "fix it at no cost". I declined. Intervention: Reached out to Vance who did my hair in the past. Don't ask me why I just didn't come back. Vance was able to see me pretty quick and did an AMAZING job!! He gave me beige highlights and darkened the base which I just love. I'm tanned skin so the blonde highlights was not flattering. Evaluation: I am forever grateful for Vance. He is very skilled at his craft. The result was exactly what I was hoping for from the very beginning when I stepped into the other salon. Note to self....i will never see any other stylist. I highly recommend Vance if you're looking for a highly skilled professional that will make you leave his chair feeling confident and amazing about your hair!!!

She is hilarious too! Thiri is great especially with extreme colors / while it's not a look for me, I see girls leaving her chair looking more vibrant than a my little pony.

Jennie did my wedding nails, and I truly couldn't be happier. I've been getting my nails done for over 15 years, and she is honestly one of the best nail artists I've ever been to. I told her these were my wedding nails, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. She paid attention to every little detail, took her time, and made me feel so cared for. The wonderful lady who did my pedicure was just as amazing. She was so kind, thorough, and never rushed. Everyone in the salon was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I had read a few reviews mentioning that the salon is always busy, and after my visit, I completely understand why. They are busy because they're genuinely great at what they do. Even with a full salon, I never felt like anyone was rushing through my appointment. Everyone took their time and made sure their work was the best it could be. To make the experience even more special, Jenny gave me the sweetest little wedding gift, which was such a thoughtful surprise and meant so much to me. I'm so thankful I found this salon just before my wedding. I'll have these wedding photos forever, and every time I look at my nails, I'll remember how beautiful they made me feel. Thank you so much, Jennie, and thank you to everyone at the salon for making this experience so special. I can't recommend this place enough, and I'll definitely be coming back!

I had a disappointing experience here. My eyebrows ended up uneven -- one was noticeably thinner than the other. I was hoping for a clean, balanced shape, but that wasn't the result. Once one brow was made thinner, it couldn't really be fixed without taking off more from the other side, which was frustrating. The customer service also left a lot to be desired. The eyebrow technician, Jeetu, seemed distracted during the appointment and appeared more focused on getting back to her FaceTime call than taking her time with the client in front of her. The appointment felt rushed, and there was almost no communication with me throughout the process, which made the experience feel unprofessional and uncomfortable. Overall, it didn't feel like much care or attention was given to the service. I expected more attention to detail and basic customer interaction, especially for something as precise as eyebrow threading. Unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed with both the experience and the results. read more

I also followed Amar from her previous location in Serramonte, which shows how much I trusted their work. However, over time I've noticed a decline in quality. I'm not sure if it's because they've built a loyal clientele or something else, but the attention to detail just isn't what it used to be. It's especially disappointing considering the prices have gone up. I completely understand inflation and don't mind paying more, but when prices increase, the quality should stay consistent or improve, not decline. I've since taken my business elsewhere. I'm paying more now, but it's worth it for consistent results and not having my eyebrows come out uneven.

As a busy full time student at UCSC, I was always either studying or working my two jobs.

One of my friends told me about Chantel and I was immediately interested! SHE IS AMAZING. She accommodates to your schedule and GOES TO YOU. Like seriously? how awesome is that and who else in the world would do that?! Anyways, I got my eyebrows threaded in Santa Cruz but her services are no longer offered there.. she is now a mobile threader in San Francisco.

So happy there is a person like Chantel who exists out there. SHE CAME TO ME AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO LEAVE MY OFFICE... but wait, it gets better... her personality is the epitome of what great service everywhere she be. She's super friendly, easy to talk to, and always has a smile on her face (makes your day that much better)! CHANTELTHREADS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. EVERYONE OUT THERE, YOU HAVE TO TRY HER OUT. 10/10 would forever highly recommend and forever be a loyal customer. By the way, prices are inexpensive and it is so worth it! She also threads quickly too so that its painless :) FYI: She threads in any location (from Millbrae area all the way up to Embarcadero area in San Francisco but from what she tells me, her main clientele is in the preferred area of SoMa... so if you are in that area, just hit her up and she will be there in a heartbeat!)
