If you're looking for someone to work magic on your hair, give Brooke a try. I came to see Brooke recently and she transformed my hair in about two hours. The two hours passed by so quickly because she's easy to talk to. She helped color correct my hair and trimmed my hair. Also, she helped me fix my bangs that I cut and made it look 10 times better. I've been getting so many compliments on my bangs. Communication with Brooke was great when I scheduled my appointment with her. Come check out her work. read more

I've been going to Brooke since she had a chair in another salon. Moved a few times and found out she has her own salon close to where I live. Been going to her ever since! She always makes my hair look healthy and beautiful. Not to mention, she's very personable and great to talk to. I'll be back, thanks Brooke! read more

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! read more

I've been going to a different hairstylist for over 10 years. As of late I felt like the hair cuts were not coming out the way I wanted to. Moreover it was really difficult to get an appointment that was convenient for me. I have really long straight dark brown hair and I love my hair very much. It's hard for me to trust stylists with my hair! After seeing on my friend's fb some info on Brooke, I thought I'd give her a try. I am never ever ever ever going back to my old stylist!!! She cut my hair EXACTLY how I wanted! I asked her to keep the length (it goes down to the top of my pants) but I wanted my hair to have volume and thickness at the same time and for the layers to be long enough to go Into a ponytail for when I go to the gym. She did exactly all those things. My hair looked soo good when she was done with it, it seriously looked like it had to be fake because it was perfect. Now my niece can't wait for her haircut with Brooke either. read more

I love Brooke!! I'm so happy she decide to do what was right for her and found a new spot that fits her. Her new spot is cozy and inviting. There is plenty of parking and it's easy to find. I've been going to Brooke for about 9 years now. I've never been disappointed with her work and I pretty much give her free range on my hair. For 6 years or so we were changing my look up almost every time I saw her. For the past 2 years I've stopped dying my hair that didn't stop her creativity at all and my hair always comes out looking fresh. I'm mixed, my hair is thick and curly. I love going to Brooke because she treats my hair right and knows how to work with it. She also teaches you how to take care of your hair, so you don't damage it. I always leave her salon looking amazing and feeling confident. Thanks for always making me look and feel fabulous Brooke!! read more

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! read more

I can't say this enough..... Brooke is the best! I'm very picky about people working on my hair, it's been hard for me to find someone who is good at dealing with my beastly hair.And I'm so glad I found Brooke! If you have curly/ kinky and wild hair like I do, I highly recommend Brooke. read more

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! read more

Brooke is phenomenal! She has worked with me over the past few years helping me grow out my undercut, transition to a pixie, and now I am back to a full head of hair that is shoulder blade length! She has knowledge and style! Absolutely love her! read more

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!!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Brooke has literally transformed my hair. I HAVE to color my hair every 2 weeks, I started going completely grey at 20, do you know how hard that is? It's not that pretty silver grey either. It's that hard to cover, awful wirey, thick, dry grey. Brooke changed my life. She fits me in her schedule.....ready for this....? EVERY 2 WEEKS. The woman is my savior. There were so many salons to choose from when I first moved here from Fremont, I live right next to Lincoln, and it was totally overwhelming. She had so many great reviews on Yelp, I knew I had to try her. 3 years later, and I have never looked back, I will never leave you Brooke, I have seen you transform other client's hair, from curly to purple to men, kids, extensions....you literally can do it all. You are the BEST!!!!! read more

I have been coming to Brooke to get my hair cut, colored, and styled for events since I moved to the area and I would never want to go anywhere else. Her prices are very reasonable, and her studio is comfortable, private, and with convenient parking. She has years of experience and I would completely trust her with anything (even non-hair related ). She recently did balayage highlights in my hair before my wedding which turned out perfect. She also styled my hair on the big day along with six of my bridesmaids, and we all loved it. Not only was she completely professional, punctual, and ahead of schedule, but we were all 100% happy with her styles throughout the whole night of celebrating and we were even more happy to be able to spend the day with her. Thank you Brooke! Xoxo. read more

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! read more

I've been able to rely on Brooke to cut my hair for years. I got tired of going to chain salons and run of the mill locations around the corner.

I have gone to Brooke for cut and color since I first moved to Santa Clara in 2006. As a professor and quasi self-defined hipster (yeah, I said that), she gets it and responds perfectly to my requests for a professional look with a twist. Give Brooke a try if you want the creative input of a skilled expert that respectfully listens to your ideas. Her new space is very comfortable and quiet. The prices are reasonable and Brooke sells great products! read more

I LOVE Brooke's haircuts! I walk in feeling drab and looking for a change and walk out feeling like a million bucks!

Brooke is absolutely everything you would want in a hair stylist! She is empathetic, talented, and generous with her time and skills. First, she cut my young daughter's hair and did a great job. Then, I had her take care of me -- involving relaxing treatment, plus cut. I "kinda" knew what I wanted and she took my rambling desires and turned them into reality. I am so in love with my hair and the entire experience was so pleasant, it was like hanging out with a friend. Get yourself to Brooke if you need a hair angel! read more

Salon is cute, charming, and clean. You can have a fun conversation with Brooke and time flies! Thank you again Brooke I will be back. read more

Being a cosmetologist you know what to look for when finding a new hairstyle. Love this place, Brooke knows what she is doing. I went in not knowing what I wanted to do! I just knew I needed something done. Our consultation was great. She is very nice and upbeat! She really makes you feel comfortable. She addressed my concerns and needs. And even researched a product for me. I went in for my appointment (full color and cut) and was fully confident in the out come. And she had information for me on the product. She used her awesome color skills and gave me this perfect violet tone and kept me in my same color level! (Medium brown) I love the color so much! The hair cut she gave me was so refreshing! I have not seen my hair lay this right in years. Oh and the Salon is so cute! Very clean and welcoming. If you know what you want, have no idea what you want or kind of know what you want Avenue B is the perfect place, Brooke can make it happen! I will keep coming back! Made my next appointment before I left! :) read more

I started seeing Brooke when she worked at a Salon I had been going to and jumping between stylists., but after Brooke took me under her wing I was hooked! When she opened her own salon in Campbell, I was stoked for her and dutifully followed her to the new location. Friends asked me for the number of the person who did my hair, and I made the recommendations without reservation. Fast forward several years, and I moved up to Sacramento for nursing school. I tried out a few places in Sacramento with less than favorable results, and always ended up making the two hour drive back to the Bay Area to visit Brooke to fix the mess. When you find a gem like Brooke, you stick with her. Brooke is great at cuts and has a really good eye for color; I never had to tell Brooke what to do, I just let her do what she thought would look good and she was always right!!! But if you give her a photo or describe something specific, she'll take the time to understand what you are asking for and make sure you're on the same page. On top of her ability, she's got a relaxed and open personality and is a pleasure to spend a couple hours catching up with while primping. Oh, and she's fast! My schedule isn't as open so I've had to give up my trips to the Bay Area for my touch-ups and it sucks. I can't believe how long my appointments take compared to the amount of time it took at Avenue B. I'm forced to settle for distant runners-up with my cut and color needs, and while I've found someone up here who doesn't make me want to wear a bag over my head after every salon visit, I still find myself thinking, " man I miss Brooke!!!" read more
