Wow. Such a great experience. Guadalupe, Lupe, truly delivered. She walked me through everything, explained what likely happened with my hair before, and gave me a clear plan for my follow up appointment. I felt heard. She takes her time and she knows her craft. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does :) I love my results. The entire team was easygoing and welcoming. It doesn't just feel like a salon, it feels like a community. They were flexible, thoughtful, and the small perks made it even better. The space is beautiful. The people are warm. The work speaks for itself. I've tried several salons over the years. I think I finally found my go to. read more

Bal-Lance Salon - New hair - Hair Stylists Near Me - Saratoga, California

Amazing salon shop! I was on Yelp, looking for affordable hair salons and this came up my feed. I live 40 mins from Saratoga, but this salon is worth the drive :) This salon is different because: 1. They offer drinks + snacks (free for some things like water, coffee & tea, and I think u have to pay for snacks) 2. Free slippers & you wear a robe- they take you to the bathroom where you can put on a robe or slippers to feel comfy 3. The decor is so cute! Lots of space with flowers & other decorations :) 4. They have email deals! My haircut/shampoo+conditioner/style is originally $95 but it was $75 with the email deals! I have Alison for my hairstylist, but it seems everyone is knowledgeable at this salon! Each hairstylist charges for different prices. Thank you Alison for always making me look & feel amazing :) She also did my hair color/balayage in November, so might have to see her soon again! read more

New hairdo; highlights and style OMG I'm so proud about my new hair color and style; Larry really did EPIC and Daisy washing my hair with a massage so relaxing it's worth coming in here. They even give you water or tea and snacks. Read their bio and make sure book ahead of time I feel so much loved and beautiful.. read more

Larry and Brandon were such a pleasure to be around. The stylists were beyond respectful and welcoming. I loved the creative decor in the salon and how clean it was. We had cute robes/capes to wear for our service and our own lockers for our belongings. I asked Larry for highlights with air touch and to add dimension+darken my hair without too much bleach. my hair has been somewhat compromised from all of the bleaching and I needed his help transitioning out of my un dimensional baby lights. He mentioned I would benefit from a k18 treatment service; which I went with. I definitely needed it. we went over my inspo pic to make sure it was realistic and I communicated my need to go easy on the lightener. In the past previous stylists would rebleach my ends but instead Larry helped me feel good about my decision and explained the process step by step. I trusted his experience from his explanation alone. He then added dimension back into my hair piece by piece next to the hair being lightened; foil by foil. Before he toned my hair he double checked exactly what shade I wanted and went over the tones with me. Lupe helped me wash my hair and gave a mean head massage (I really needed that.) When Lupe and Larry blow dried my hair I was beyond happy. My hair looked soooo much better. Larry really took care of me and gave every strand of hair attention and detail he had. Thank you Larry! read more

My hair has never ever been so silky soft after a bleach and bright color, but these folks have the perfect mix and mastery of hair science and art!! I LOVE every minute of being in Larry's chair. He is attentive and fun and professional and kind and soooo unbelievably talented. I've been doing wild, bright hair colors for years, probably 2 decades now, and he still manages to make my hair look and feel so healthy without compromising the vividness of the color. It washes out gorgeously each and every time, and he does it in a way that my roots don't overpower when they start showing but rather are layered and hidden, making it easy for me to feel great even right up to my next appointment! Booking is smooth and easy, and everyone there is so friendly and fun and great at what they do. :) I always look forward to my appointments there and leave feeling more like my best self! They help me express myself exactly as I like to, and I am so grateful to have found them! As an artist, it's important to me that I look both stylish and professional, and that's not always easy with the bright colors I like, but they've done the "oil slick" look for me since last summer, and it's simply my favorite hair I've ever had! I get at least two compliments on it every time I go out, and I really like the way my husband looks at me like I'm fresh from the salon every day! :) The salon space itself is gorgeous too, super attentive design details and playful pops show the owners' penchant for cuteness embedded in their great taste, with beautiful black chandeliers, a glitter wall and even crystal knobs on the desk! It's a beautiful space, with beautiful people: exactly what you want in a beauty salon! They give you a locker and a nice to robe to wear, and even offer cozy slippers while you get your hair done. Couldn't be happier with my experience at Bal-Lance, they are true pros with huge, kind hearts and the most talent I've ever seen in the Hair Arts! Thank you!!! read more

Daisy cut my hair and I loved it! She was very friendly and patiently walked me through my consultation and analyzed the reference photos I had. She helped me choose the right amount of layers/haircut that would fit my lifestyle :). She was also very patient and allowed me to take time to decide if we should cut certain pieces shorter or not! Her attention to detail and understanding what you want your hair to look like really stood out to me. Will be coming back for sure! read more

Got my hair colored today by Kelsey, and I love how my color turned out! She started by reviewing my reference photo with me and going over color choices to make sure I was getting exactly what I asked for. She was fun to talk to while she colored my hair. She gave a great scalp massage as she rinsed my hair. My color turned out better than the photo I referenced! I will definitely be back read more

This was my first visit to the salon. I had an incredible experience with Brandon. Their attention to detail, expertise, and ability to understand exactly what I wanted made all the difference. From the consultation to the final touches. Professional , kind, and truly passionate. My hair has never looked or felt better, and I have received so many compliments! I highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier service and a stylist who genuinely cares about their clients. Extra points/ information- Btw, I waited for a month to leave a review to see the real color and love it. And I was offered Love Mimosas as I had my hair done few days before Valentine's day. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my hair cutting experience here. I was indecisive & I appreciated the salon's patience answering my questions and scheduling an appointment which I cancelled once. I cut and donated 15 in. My favorite part is the salon is a Wigs for Kids ambassador. My stylist- Grace- measured and sectioned out my hair to maximize my donation. They also took care of mailing out the donation. It was a one-stop donation and I did not have to go to the post-office. I loved the products that they used. The shampoo/conditioners had a pleasant fragrance which enriched the experience. I appreciated Grace choosing to style my hair that was complimentary to my lifestyle. I do wish they had taken the time to review the products they used and offer me a chance to purchase. I also thought the check-in check out process could have been friendlier. It had a slight cold vibe. Nevertheless, I would come back especially for the next hair donation! read more

The hair stylists are always so friendly and sweet. I always leave the salon with beautiful, silky, and smooth hair and I feel 10 times more confident. I would never trust any other salon with my hair. The stylist I always go to is Daisy and she is so sweet and talented. The best part is all I need to do is show her an inspo picture and she knows exactly what to do. I always recommend this salon and this stylist because I'm always so happy with my hair afterwards. Probably the best salon I've been to so far. Definitely recommend! read more

I'm soo beyond grateful for Kelsey, she made this entire experience amazing from start to finish! I went in not completely sure what I wanted and she communicated with me every step of the way, always making sure I felt confident and happy with how things were going. Her attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. Kelsey and Brandon were both incredibly sweet and attentive, constantly checking in to ensure I was comfortable and enjoying the process. Their energy was so warm and welcoming, I truly felt taken care of. I couldn't be happier with how my hair turned out! I will 100% be coming back. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I had my balayage done with Grace, a Bal-Lance Jr, and she consulted with Brandon throughout the whole process. I am extremely happy with the outcome! I told her that I wanted to add some dimension to my hair but wanted something that is maintenance and non damaging to my hair. Through inspiration pictures and communicating via instagram, she executed my vision really well with all my personalization in mind. I wanted a "chocolately gold" balayage that blended nicely with my black hair. Grace was lovely to work with an get to know through out the process, really friendly and personable, and I was in and out of the salon in 3.5 hours. I've been to Bal-lance's old salon, and really enjoy this new location! It's in a quaint part of Saratoga and the salon itself is huge, beautiful, and trendy. I love the massage chairs at the hair wash station and the twinkle lights on the ceiling. I'd trust anyone at Bal-Lance salon with my hair, as they always do a great job and work with me, my hair, and my vision to get exactly what I want. read more

Nothing short of amazing! Definitely the best experience in a salon I've had! They have their own lockers for your things, and even label the lockers with your name and provide your own black kimono in it. Being my first visit, first impressions excelled! :) i had Jassy and she really helped nail my haircut. She explained how certain options may help bring out the style I'm trying to achieve. I went on a weekend, so it seemed pretty booked up, it's still a relaxing experience and not super hectic :) I will definitely be back! read more

Great salon, super cute vibes and kind staff. I came to get my hair chopped so I could donate it and they were fantastic! Jassy was my stylist and she was so sweet and helped me get the exact right cut. Def recommend! read more

- Place: 10/10 - Staff: 10/10 - Work: 5/10 I recently had my hair color done at this salon and shared some initial pictures of my hair along with my desired look. While the staff was very friendly and welcoming, the stylist who worked on my color kept remarking on how many strands I had, saying it at least ten times. After attending a wedding and washing my hair for the first time since the appointment, I noticed that my hair felt weighed down and moisture seemed to linger. I couldn't run my fingers through it at all, and this issue only started after I visited the salon. A few days later, I realized the color was extremely uneven. I paid a decent amount for the service and a generous tip and reached out to provide feedback. They invited me back to the salon, but I really don't want to go back. My long hair is now a tangled mess, and I'm experiencing significant hair fall. The different shades from the coloring look terrible. I have no idea what products they used, but it has seriously damaged my hair quality, which wasn't great to begin with. I'm now considering cutting my hair short as a solution. Attaching pictures for reference. The major concern is not the color here its the quality of my hair and its getting tangled in water and how it looks after washing. read more

I absolutely adore Brandon's positivity and how he makes me feel during my visits with him. I appreciate how he listens to my feedback and asks a lot of questions to figure out the best color and cut based upon my desired level of maintenance. It's easy for a stylist to deliver a desired look, but I really value how honest Brandon is about at-home treatments and maintenance because it helps to give me a more realistic expectation. Brandon is a true artist-- l've never felt so confident and beautiful as I do now that he is doing my hair. I get so many compliments and I give him all the credit! Bal-Lance Salon is pure luxury, and I really enjoy my time there and the wonderful products they have available for at-home maintenance. The products are worth every penny and leave my hair healthier than it has ever been! read more

First off, I want to say that the management is probably the most understanding of what's going on. I did receive a hair appointment to do baby lights and I asked for my roots to be platinum as well since I had previous work done that got me to a platinum. Unfortunately that was not achieved in some areas as my hair was not zig zag to weave it during the bleaching process. A bit more blending with the bleaching process would have been well appreciated. These certain needs weren't met with my hair. very clean inside and everyone's friendly and they take care of you. read more

We have always have such great conversations and she makes your salon experience is a 10/10. Alison is honest during the consultation if we can achieve the color I want. The inside of the salon is so clean and well decorated. Overall the vibes and staff of this salon is phenomenal. This is my go to salon for any and every type of hair service I need! read more

I would give Brandon 10 stars if I could. I had a wedding reception to go to and had an updo for the first time. I needed it to stay put from around 2 pm to 1 am. Brandon delivered the best updo possible. He took painstaking effort to give it volume, flair and make it a show stopper. ..and I could have gone well into the next day without the updo being unraveled. That was how well done it was. read more

They consistently have great solutions for my needs. I've been coming to them for over four years, and they continue to exceed my hair expectations.

They are so thoughtful about customer needs, offering a menu of snacks and drinks, as well as lockers labeled with your name to store your belongings.

This is a lovely salon and very welcoming and friendly. A couple of friends recommended Bal-lance, and I'm very glad I took that advice. I love the haircuts and color treatments I've gotten from Brandon. He is quite an artist, as well as being a genuinely warm and caring person. Indeed, everyone in the shop is helpful and friendly. I have tricky hair as it is very fine and thin. Brandon makes the most of my hair. It's easy to style after I leave the salon, too, which is the mark of a really good haircut. read more
