    Brooke is AMAZING!!! I picked out a few pictures of what I liked and she gave me a beautiful cut. She's down to earth, fun to talk to, and makes you feel very comfortable. I highly recommend her!!! The prices are very reasonable. I also love the fact that she actually shampoos and conditions my hair. The last couple places I have gone to in the past just use spray bottles to water my hair down. The deep conditioning treatment was great too!

    Brooke has been my hair stylist for years! Love her color and cuts! She is very conservative and keeps hair health in mind! No product overuse. Wonderful stylist and beautiful person!

    Where do I even begin with Brooke? I met her four years ago when I moved to the bay area for college and needed a new stylist. I couldn't have been more fortunate to find her! She has been doing an incredible job on my hair for years and has become a good friend. In a stylist it's not only important to be happy with your hair, but also feel comfortable hanging out with them for hours, and Brooke does both perfectly. This past month I was privileged enough to have my hair cut, colored and done up by her for my wedding, and she styled my bridesmaids' hair as well. I can say with confidence that I can thank her for helping my special day to be as perfect as it was. Thank you for everything, Brooke!

    So I came into this with an idea, and Brooke elevated it more than I could ever imagine. In a safe non harmful way as to not damaging my hair. In my previous experience most hair styles would not inform me of dangers or procedures that involved my hair. Brooke explained to me in a way I could understand and recommendations I could take in order to have healthy hair and to maintain it with her help. When I first walked into her salon I was amazed how well kept, profession and upbeat environment her studio is. Brooke presented herself with an informative, humorous and bubbly personality. Which I am not used to because my hair is either done by someone who would speak another language or speak very little English. Needless to say I was entertained. The products she used on my hair I must say smelled very fragrent and fruity, just don't eat it. Minus the bleach, but that is a given. I highly at the upmost recommend this beautiful talented high stylist and salon. You have a specific hair style or color? Go to Avenue B!!!

    Brooke is the only person I trust to cut my hair! When I moved to the Bay Area from NYC, I spent a ridiculous amount of time and money trying to find a reliable hair stylist. I tried all the popular and expensive salons in SF, and was always disappointed with the mediocre results. After over two years of searching, I decided to take my chances with someone in the South Bay and found Brooke. Although our first appointment together was over three years ago, I still remember how impressed I was. She actually took the time BEFORE the cut to understand what I wanted. We discussed my vision and she provided thoughtful follow up questions and provided her thoughts based on my hair type. It was so refreshing to have an actual discussion instead of just getting a "yeah I got it." The results were great and continued to be so each time I went back. You rock Brooke!

    So clearly a lot of people rave about Brooke's magic that she works with hair. I went in with high expectations after seeing all the great reviews on here yet she still managed to surpass them! Brooke truly has an artistic eye and vision when it comes to hair. She patiently listened to what I wanted (blonde highlights) but also suggested a more natural style as I told her I am pretty low maintenance and only touch up my color every few months, so she was concerned all over blonde highlights would not look pretty as the roots grow out. Besides, giving me beautiful blonde highlights she also managed to correct the ugly orange balayage I had done previously. I truly was impressed she managed to correct something I thought was beyond repair! I would definitely see her for color corrections/ any sort of color service. Also, despite the fact this was a highlight/color correction service I was in and out in less than 2 hours, even while she had another client. She is incredibly efficient and as another reviewer said previously she is just a lovely person inside and out. She also has a deep knowledge of working with different hair types, even my wimpy flat Asian hair. I truly recommend everyone try Brooke out at least once to see the magic she can work on your hair!

    Free handed highlights and a layered bob

    I really enjoyed the time that I spent with Brooke. She was very friendly and kept the conversation flowing. She also communicated well in terms of scheduling an appointment ad what to do with my hair. We discussed my past hair history and the options we could do that would cause the least damaged which showed that she actually cared for the condition of my hair. She did some free handed high lights and gave me a layer Bob so effortlessly. I would recommend coming to her for all your hair needs!

I asked for curtain bangs, face-framing pieces, long layers, a V-cut, and a little trim, and he absolutely nailed it! The salon does have translators available, but I was totally fine without one.

I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you so much, Wilson!! I highly recommend him and will definitely be coming back!

    Disaster. Cut way too much off, ruined my hair, and the experience was awful. See photos for…read morereference ... I haven't gotten a haircut in over a year, so I was really looking forward to this, but this visit was so disappointing. None of the workers spoke English, which meant the translation was poor from the very start. Because of that, they basically did not do at all what I asked for. I explicitly requested to take off 4 inches, but they chopped off 7 inches instead. For reference, my hair was down to my waist almost and straight across so I was looking forward to getting some nice layering and a decent trim. (I attached my reference photo vs what I actually got). My hair that I took so long to grow out is now super short. To make matters worse, the whole styling process felt very aggressive and frustrating. I honestly felt like I was being thrown around in the chair and manhandled. They repeatedly poked me in the face with their fingers when moving around my hair and the comb kept getting very close to my eyes... When I finally saw the results, the layering was so uneven it was shocking. I wish I had a better picture, but when I got home I was so saddened by the haircut that I cried out of despair and started aggressively cutting it myself just trying to fix it. I also still can't get over that I basically have less than half of the hair I started with left. Absolutely do not recommend, terrible experience.

    I have never written a review before, but after being a client of Simple Hair for 12 years, I felt…read morelike it was finally time! I started going to Simple Hair in 2014 for Japanese hair straightening, and I've been going back every year since. As I've gotten older and started getting more gray hair, they also help with touching up my roots too and I continue to trust them every time! What really stands out to me is their consistency. After all these years, they are just as professional as they were when I first started going. They're always on time, their standards have remained high, and the quality of their work has never gotten sloppy or gone downhill. That says a lot about a business, especially after 12 years. V and Bella are both amazing. They're knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely know what they're doing. There's a reason I've stayed with Simple Hair for so many years. When you find people who consistently do great work and who you can trust with your hair, you stick with them. I definitely have!

    I've been coming to Simple Hair for almost 10 years now and have loved the experience every time…read more They really have the best quality hair cuts at such an affordable price. Vy really listens to what I want, she always double checks how much I want to cut off and what style. She's so careful and takes her time with the cut to make sure it's perfect. She's such a joy to chat with and I always leave feeling refreshed and happy with my cut :). It is a very busy salon, but I expect nothing less since it's so popular! Book your appointments in advance if you want to guarantee a time. Will continue to keep coming back! :)

    After my bestie had been going to esther for 7 years i jumped on the curly hair bandwagon last year…read moreand here i am for perm #2. the last year has been fun styling the first perm she gave and i loved it as it grew in and i even got two trims throughout the year. i love that my hair is allowed to have digital perm (hair-health wise) & it doesn't smell bad! after my appointment i came straight to work and this is the shot after esther styled it! in the after care i'll avoid getting it wet for 2 days and the hardest part is not touching it! but i flip my hair so i'll just try to keep it in ringlet twirls as much as possible! one thing different from my first perm was that my hair was much longer prior to this appt today, and still it sprang up! it's still long so i'm glad i grew it, and looking forward to styling this do once the 48 hr no wash time passes! highly recommend esther even with her wait list!! you can upkeep with deep conditioning your hair while looking forward to the appt (like i did!) the 3 hour appt was enjoyable, she is personable and so knowledgeable, in fact the appt was over earlier than i expected, a total timely professional! thank you esther!

I love that is super low maintenance and it just makes me feel confident with my hair style. Esther is very good at what she does. The 2-3 month wait list speaks for itself. She doesn't like to take any new clients without an initial consultation. This way she saves you time. She is very honest about if the digital perm will be a good fit for your hair type or not. I am 100% satisfied with my experience!
