Francisco is my favorite hair dresser in Los Gatos and he is fun to hang out with. He washed and blew dry my hair so well. 5 stars for him and this awesome salon in Los Gatos!! He couldn't curl my hair so luckily I brought my curling iron with me and make it wavier when I got back to my hotel. read more

Sherry is the most amazing hair stylist I have ever worked with and believe me, I have lived in many different cities across 3 different countries. She has decades of experience and tons of knowledge about what works for different kinds of hair. She also believes in organic and chemical free living so she goes out of her way to find and use the best products for her clients. I have been going to her for 5 years and would not let anyone else touch my hair. Cannot recommend her enough! read more

I loved the hair color transformation done by the amazing Sherry! She created a beautiful highlight and lowlight combination that looks stunning compared to my previous pitch-black hair. I also really enjoyed my time during the service with inspiring and fun conversation with Sherry, along with a complimentary glass of wine. Highly recommend! read more

This review is in regards to the hairstylist Francisco. He is the most arogant , unproffesional and insensetive , racist and nasty person and hairstylist you will ever meet in your life. Hopefully you don't get to experience his service. After all he is a lousy hair dresser. I experienced all these with him after I went back to him the day after he cut my hair to make some adjustments to my hair. I never ever had this experience in my entire life. read more

Happy to provide this recommendation for Lisa Lischka at Aqua Spa in Los Gatos. Lisa brightened me up and brought me up-to-date, with a great trim, high and low lights. I am finicky about hair color treatments, given I have a lot of fine straight hair, so everything shows. Lisa is very experienced and knowledgable about color, and on the cut, she really looked at my face, head shape, hair type, style and gave an equally great cut. Thanks Lisa! read more

I knew that Sherry did a great job on my wife's hair and I thought I'd give her a try. She really excels at doing men's haircuts too. It was a great experience because my wife and I went in together and she cut my hair while my wife's color processed. It was an efficient use of time and we had a lot of fun sipping champagne and snacks Sherry gave us. Sherry does a great job at making you feel pampered during your visit.. Give a couple salon visit a try and you will be very happy you went to Sherry. read more

Sherry has been my hair stylist for over eleven years. Sherry is simply terrific with the hit cut and hair coloring. A true professional. She knows her art well, uses the best natural hair products, and rejuvenates your look with her styling. And I always walk out looking natural after the appointment. All these years, and even to this day, I have regularly received compliments for my professional well-styled hair. I know that I can always count on Sherry to ensure I'll be looking just right before big business presentations, family events, and special occasions. I am now enjoying coming to her new location at #AquaSalon in Los Gatos as it is friendly, chic and impeccable. Friendly staff. Tea, coffee and wine are all complimentary. read more

I have been going to Spa for years, however recently I went to the Salon (Aqua) and met the stylist Sherry. I got a haircut, color and highlights and I LOVE it! Highly recommend her. she is amazing. you will be hooked :) read more

The salon itself is elegant with great parking in the back, and conveniently located just a block beyond the craziness of the heart of downtown Los Gatos. Loliette, my hairdresser, is fast, fun, and extremely artistic in helping a person decide what hairstyle would look good on your face and be compatible with your hair type. I've tried other hairstylists closer to my home in Morgan Hill, but always return to Loliette, whose expertise has apparently spoiled me for using anyone else. So...I make the drive. Love Loliette! read more

Aqua Salon... A breath of fresh air from the moment you walk in. This was my first visit to Aqua Salon, and the moment I stepped in, I was blanketed in a beautiful aromatherapy. The exact scent that one wishes for when pampering oneself. Now, I can be very picky when it comes to haircuts. I saw Nicole that day, and I was very pleased with the results, and she was very patient with my requests. Nicole and I also had a nice chat during the time I spent in her chair. If you are looking for a new stylist, visit Nicole at Aqua Salon! read more

Monica is incredible! I just went to an event and got sooooo many compliments on my hair because of her. I love the color, and the cut. How she cut it makes ieasy for people like me who can't style hair Monica is super sweet, professional, and makes the time in the chair utterly enjoyable. I HIGHLY recommenced her to anyone who will listen. read more

Thoroughly disappointed. Talked out of the cut I wanted for an uneven unlayered disaster.

If I could give this salon 0 stars I would. Staff was EXTREMELY rude. My friend had an appointment to which the stylist Francisco was completely disrespectful to the client. She had made an appointment for a root touch up and cut to which when she sat down claimed "he didn't know she was a blonde". He had a sour attitude the entire time and you could tell he just didn't want to work. I'm extremely appalled and will never be going back to this salon. Imagine charging $250+ for a terrible attitude and rude remarks. Awful. read more

Laura did an amazing job on my first-time extensions. She was patient with my many questions and she has a particularly excellent eye for color. She suggested a slight variation from my hair color and it came out natural-looking and awesome! I'm having so much fun with my new hair. Thanks, Laura. read more

Beautiful salon and spa. I se Diane there for my haircuts and I LOVE her! I also recently had a facial on the spa side, and it was lovely. Very relaxing white robes and the works. Very nice facility and a variety of high quality products. Looking forward to my next one!!! read more

Wish I could give it zero stars, the hair stylist was so rude and refused to do ANYTHING. Wouldn't dye roots bc my friend's hair was blonde, wouldn't cut hair with extensions in, said he couldn't do anything for her at all when she had an appointment. We came in at 9 am when the salon was empty and he refused to let us sit in empty chairs after the receptionists told us nobody would be in today to use them. Appalled at how rude the staff was and can't imagine how that man got a job when he seems to not know how to do anything or how to treat people. He's useless. The guy is named Francisco. read more

It's been about a week since I went to Aqua Salon for my first Brazilian Blowout. The experience was great! Upon arrival, Monica greeted me and asked me if this was my first time with the Brazilian Blowout. She then told me all there is to know about the process and what I would need to do to care for my hair after. She said that she would give me her cell number in case any questions came up later. How many people do that? I love my Brazilian Blowout and will have it done again by Monica! read more

This review is for Diane, for wedding hair and makeup. Perfect. She worked with me, even as my ideas changed and the time ticked away. She handled 2 extra bridesmaids on top of what she was expecting and still got everyone done in time for pictures. I loved the broads in my hair and my makeup. Her personality really helped me on morning of the wedding. I will keep coming to her for my haircuts and recommend her to all my friends. I was recommended to her by a friend who gets her hair cut here too. read more

I've been going to Monica Ebrahimi for about two years now and I've loved every time I've been in her chair. We've done everything from highlights, cuts, ombre (that's my pic above, btw looks even better than in the picture and I've gotten numerous compliments), to color correction from having fuchsia pieces in my hair to the Brazilian blowout and more! I've loved it all and constantly get compliments on my hair! I've had people in Los Gatos stop me and ask where I get it done etc. My hair always feels and looks healthy no matter how much we put it through! I have recommended her services to numerous people and would never hesitate to do so! She will not rest until your style, color etc is perfect! Love my hair and love her! read more

Monica Ebrahimi is an amazing Hair & Makeup Artist. She has done my hair for 5 years. Brazilian blow out, color, highlights and cut. She has been taking care of my hair for the last 5 yrs. I love her!!! read more

My hairstylist Loliette At Aqua Salon is amazing! She is so knowledgeable about all things hair; cut, color, highlights and products. I really appreciate how she will explain which products will work best on my hair and how to style and dry it to so that it will look at home how it looks when she does it in the salon. Loliette is the best! read more

Love my new haircut! Francisco is amazingly talented! He knew exactly what to do to get my hair in the process of revitalizing it and bringing a style to it. We are currently in the process of changing it. Next is color in a couple weeks! Woooohoooo, newly single, now dating quality suitors, and ready to have more fun with a new revamped look! Thank you Francisco! read more

I am by far one of the most (if not THE most)particular clients a stylist could ever encounter. I have extremely high standards, can be quite demanding, and I expect a great deal from my stylist. I work in the fashion industry and am in the eye of the general public daily and must look my best. Upon moving to the area several years ago, and visiting several stylists, I was introduced to LAURA MCDONNELL. I have stayed with Laura ever since. Reason #1: LAURA is an expert in BLONDE hair. Blonde hair needs and expert. It is different. It can be difficult. She understands blonde hair. Reason #2: LAURA is an expert in cuts. I love the movement and style she adds to my hair and it matches my personality. Reason #3: LAURA is an expert in color and is flexible to use other color lines if you prefer. She has lines that she prefers but is extremely versatile. Reason #4: LAURA is intelligent. It is nice to have a stylist who is able to discuss many topics, and yet also knows that there are times when her client needs quiet time. Reason #5: LAURA is kind. She takes the time to ensure her clients are comfortable and relaxed. She has a very big heart. Reason #6: LAURA is open to learning new things and is eager to listen to your ideas! She is not set in her ways nor stubborn. She knows that EVERY persons hair is truly unique and what works for one does not necessarily work for another. Reason #7: LAURA takes her craft seriously and knows that her clients are walking advertisement for her. She truly strives to stay on top of trends and ensure her clients look their best. Reason #8: LAURA is honest. She will not pretend to know something she doesn't. If you are requesting something she is uncertain of, she will consult others for full understanding and education. She will NOT EVER risk harming your hair. Reason #9: LAURA truly practices concern for the integrity of your hair. My hair is in the best condition it has been in my entire life. I am 51 years old with long, blonde hair that looks like 20 year-old glossy hair. Very rare. Reason #10: LAURA is flexible. I am a business person with a somewhat erratic schedule that can change rapidly. Laura has always made accommodations for me and understands that traffic in the Bay Area can be tough. Overall, LAURA has truly worked hard to be such a talented and professional stylist. I mean it when I say I respect her and admire/appreciate her integrity and dedication to her craft. read more

Horrible experience. Not ONLY was I there for 2 hours for a trim, I was told the cost was 65. Francisco forced me to pay 85. After I told him I was promised the price of $65, he argued with me for the extra 20. I only had $80 on me that he insisted that the price was still $85 causing a scene in the salon. Not only did you lose a customer, but I will be going out of my way to tell people not to go to Francisco for their hair cut. The extra $20 was supposed to be a charge for styling, something he did not ask me about. After telling them that I was not told about this extra charge nor did I give consent to it, he changed what he said and said that his price was 85 because of the length of my hair. read more

For some reason, my first review of Dyan was filtered. Guess I was too positive! Yes, she has been my hairdresser for years, and yes, I love how she can cut my hair and the cut lasts forever before I have to go in and get another one, since it grows out and still looks good. The salon hair stations all look out on the street - some side street in LG, but if you don't like people watching you get your haircut, this is not the place to go. The only negative is that Dyan tends to run a little late... but I've always found it worth the wait. read more

LAURA MCDONNELL @ Aqua Salon inside the Spa of Los Gatos. Laura is the most amazing and talented stylist I have ever come across. From Ombre' to Color Corrections .. she's got it goin' on. This review is long overdue, as Laura has been doing my hair for almost 3 years -- but most recently, I cheated. (I know... I'm so naughty!) We recently moved to San Francisco and I found a really popular stylist on YouTube, who had all 5 star reviews on yelp. Long story short -- my hair was destroyed. Bleach bleeding, "Holidays," uneven application, orange and yellow tone everywhere, cheetah print, lopsided haircut... you name it. My roots were light in some areas and dark in others (see photos). I came back to Laura, expecting to get a nice firm scolding, but that didn't happen. Laura fit me in for a SIX HOUR color correction, where she delicately wove the finest weave known to mankind, and formulated different colors for my roots, ends, and tone. She knows hair. She knows how to manipulate it and she really puts her heart into making sure you leave looking and feeling fabulous. Did I mention my hair looks amazing! (Again -- see photos) [Mind you -- the stylist that ruined my hair said the only way to fix what my hair looked like was either color it brown, or wait two weeks and "try to add more blonde". She noted that 'No Stylist would attempt what I attempted in one appointment. Well- Laura did. And she did it right! Let the photos speak for themselves] Every time Laura has done my hair I feel beautiful. She really understands what I want, and touches base with me along the way. She is honest, communicative, and extremely skilled. I don't want to write a novel on here but seriously -- I love Laura. I can't believe how amazing my hair looks. I'll definitely be making the trek down to LG to see her. read more

I was in between stylists when my soon to be mother in law gave me a gift card to Aqua Salons space sharing sister/neighbor The Spa Los Gatos where I had a phenomenal massage and facial. Seeing the salon there and needing a new stylist (my previous one moved to NY) I scheduled a consultation for hair extensions for my upcoming wedding, with Laura. Confident after our consult, I booked her to do my extensions, and needless to say she did a fabulous job! Everyone raves how they can't even tell that they are extensions and how well they blend. Today I went back for a trim and root touch up. Laura matched my roots perfectly, and did a great job styling my hair. Furthermore, because I'm getting married next week, and my appointment was delayed by a half hour due to the appointment with the previous client running late, she gave me a sweet and thoughtful gift and card to take home based on my childhood nickname, which she learned about during our conversation. Who does that? Anyway, she does an amazing job, is super thoughtful, and I definitely have found my new stylist. Thank you! read more

I've been a LONG time client and I've finally had it their sometimes-crappy stylists. As a side note it's also largely more expensive, both in services and products they sell than any other salon in Los Gatos (which is saying a lot). To be fair, I've had a few pretty awesome haircuts from there, but oh my lord today was A DAY. This week I wanted to get a cut and color from a stylist named T. I get a call the day before originally and they tell me it has to be rescheduled. Today I came in at the rescheduled appointment and literally waited 30 minutes for the T to show up (who was apparently not responding) finally having wasted enough of my day I left. I've had good haircuts at Aqua before but after today I'm taking my business elsewhere. read more

Update review because it's been years since my last one. 5 stars yet again. Over a decade of cuts, color, and babylights by LAURA and I'm still thrilled. She has consistently done a great job though all of my phases over the past 10 years... long & dark, to beachy blonde balayage and babylights, to short & pink, bangs or not, subtle or crazy, she does it all well. I just can't express my gratitude. I'm at the point where I give her a general direction and just let her do her thing, because she really has an eye for it. Exciting to visit every time because I know I always love it. Highly recommend. read more

I got my hair cut and Brazilian blow out from Rae Ann and she was fantastic! I had received a bad haircut from 1240 Salon in Campbell and was devastated :( I thought no one could fix my hair and it was hopeless! :( but I gave it a try and used a trubate to get a discount and the results were fantastic! she was very sweet and we had a good conversation, she knew what she was doing and made it clear that she was well experienced and does not stop learning new fabulous techniques and styles. She fixed my bad haircut to the best of her ability and provided me with a fantastically executed BB. Although the price was fairly expensive, even with the trubate 4 weeks later the BB is still holding strong and the cut is great and compliments the light waves in my hair :-) Finally, beach ready, easy to manage, soft, fantastic hair! I am soo ready to go to college in style! read more

This salon rocks! Nicole is amazing! This is the second time I come to here and this last time she literally saved my hair. I got a terrible haircut couple weeks before my wedding in a different salon where they literally shaved my hair using the texturizing scissors and not only ruined my length but also damaged the hair badly. Nicole took care of it like a pro and did a treatment that left my hair like silk and also cut it in a way where the length stayed the same but made some beautiful layers and improved the shape and texture all together. She is a really skilled awesome hair stylist and not only that but she is pretty cool too!! Cant wait to come back to her again! read more

Crystal is amazing!! I have been getting my hair cut, highlighted, colored, and styled by Crystal for over 4 years now. From our first appointment and every appointment after, Crystal has always made me feel comfortable, listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and achieved any look I wanted. She is friendly, understanding, easygoing, and very talented. At the Aqua Salon, she is known as the "up-do queen" so I knew she could create my dream wedding hairstyle. For our trial, she was very attentive, flexible, and responsive on the type of look I was going for. With her expertise and passion for hair she immediately achieved the style I wanted and I couldn't be happier! I am so lucky and thankful to have Crystal as my hairstylist. read more

Today I was shopping around for a new salon because I was in serious need for a new haircut. I went online and found a great deal through Trubates. I just prayed it was not going to be another disaster like before... Luckily for me, God answered my prayers and I got to experience one of my best haircut and color from Raven here at Aqua salon. She is the best. Not only did she make time to cut my hair but she squeezed in a color for me too. I am so grateful to have found Raven cause now I can stop looking for a new Salon.... Thanks Raven you did a great job... See you in a few weeks read more

Aqua Salon is clean and everyone is always really nice. If you want the best stylist in the area, Laura McDonnell is your girl! I have been going to Laura for color and hair extensions for 5 years now. I have recommended her to all my colleagues and friends. SHE IS THE BEST! I am so picky and particular and Laura gets it perfect every single time. I travel for business a lot and Laura always accommodates me. I love how she cuts, colors and styles my hair and she is an expert when it comes to extensions. This last time I had my extensions for 8 months and none fell out. Laura has also done my makeup and did an amazing job. She is so friendly and fun to talk to and definitely the BEST at all she does. I highly recommend her! read more

Laura is awesome, my search for a stylist has ended! I have been going to Aqua Salon for about one year now and the reason I have stuck to one place is because of Laura McDonnell. I use to go from place to place for my hair cuts and being a guy, you would think I could care less. However I was searching for someone who could listen to my needs, understand them and then deliver. One of the hardest things for me has been communicating the style I want and have the stylist get what I am going for (... and I'm not a complicated guy) but I do have baby fine hair that shows all shoddy work and is unforgiving to people use to corse or thick hair. So lucky me if someone does a quick job it always comes out sloppy because they just don't know my hair. Well Laura is meticulous in her approach, takes the time to cover all the details and gives it to me straight when I am thinking about a style that it out of my style range and helps me work with styles that are best for me. If you are a woman or a guy looking for a stylist then go see Laura Mcdonnell period. read more

Monica Ebrahimi is my ABSOLUTE go to girl. She took me from a brunette to an ombréd blonde flawlessly all while keeping my hair cool-toned like I wanted. Throughout the process she listened to all of my questions and concerns and helped me achieve more than what I wanted. My hair is still healthy and long after my transition to blonde and the blending of colors is so perfect, I couldn't have asked for more. I wouldn't go to anyone else with my hair in such good hands! You can't go wrong with this stylist. Pictures just don't do her work justice. read more

Having recently moved to Los Gatos I thought I would try the Aqua Salon, as I have previously been to the Los Gatos Spa (Aqua salon is in the spa building) for some treatments and loved it. What a mistake. I had a 3pm appointment scheduled with Eve, who collected me from the waiting area at 3:22 pm. Not a word of apology for the wait, just called me and marched ahead to the salon. When I mentioned that I had been waiting for 22 minutes he said "I had other clients with appointments". I was a bit confused as I was certainly also a client with an appointment?? I responded by pointing out that 22 minutes is not really a reasonable time to let someone wait, at which his response was "this is not going to work out". My jaw literally dropped to the ground. He was arrogant, rude and lacked even basic customer service skills. I would have been happy with a mere apology for the wait... I have a 7 month old for which I had to arrange a babysitter. My time is very valuable to me and because of this arrogant fellow I will now not be able to have my hair done for the next month. I cannot speak for the other stylists, but I would certainly steer clear of Eve. I did report this incident to the spa manager, who will hopefully address the issue and save someone else to go through the same thing. read more
