She is located inside Salon Republic; her space is super elegant, relaxing, lush, and very pretty too! A side note, I loooooove getting to see her sweet pomeranian name Yuzu, such an added bonus!

Beauty By Yasuko - Getting my hair did :) - Hair Stylists Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I've been going to Yasuko for years now since moving out of San Francisco, and she is hands down one of the best hairstylists I've ever had. I typically get a double process done, and she nails my ash blonde every single time and it grows out beautifully. In the past, I've also experimented with fun colors like pink, green, and purple, and Yasuko made each shade vibrant and perfectly customized. She really understands color and I trust her creative process. One of my favorite services is her scalp treatment, especially during the colder months. It's super soothing and leaves my scalp and hair feeling refreshed and healthy. She also carries Milbon hair products, which I now can't live without. I always stock up on the scalp shampoo, treatment, and serum (they've become part of my hair care routine). Bonus: her adorable Pomeranian, Yuzu, is the cutest little welcome committee. Highly recommend Yasuko if you're looking for professional, Japanese personalized hair care in a chill and welcoming environment. read more

I'm so happy with how my hair turned out, I was able to get the vivid red color I was seeking! I was a new client and booked online, which was easy! She also gave tips via Yelp message on the type of appt to book for what I was seeking. Yasuko has a cute plant filled, corner light room in Sola salons - she takes precautions with one client at a time and masking. I appreciated this. (Her room is also close to the bathroom which is nice for obvious reasons :) ) I have very naturally black and thick hair making it pretty challenging to lift. Yasuko did her magic and it was great, my hair still feels healthy too which is key to a good colorist! :) Previously I was told my dark black hair wouldn't be able to get a vivid red, but I felt rest assured with Yasuko, I wasn't exactly sure what to ask for but showed her pictures and she was spot on in figuring out the color. She even gave awesome tips on maintaining the color- definitely going to be back if I'm in need for a color touch up or change :) She did state she may be moving to a new salon location ~ 10 min away so you may need to keep posted on her new location read more

Where you can feel like a queen!! First off Yasuko's shampooing is the bomb. Always feel so relaxed after. I love the shape she creates with hair and how flattering her cuts are. The space is very stylish, modern, and feminine - and always clean. As others mentioned it fits only one chair. Unlike other stylists, Yasuko is very gentle with your hair from dealing with tangles to blow drying super thick hair. I've never felt like my head or neck was pulled or yanked. She works hard and puts effort in what she does, very friendly and easy to talk to. If you have ideas for your next haircut, she gives you her honest opinion and will tell you what works for you specifically. I love getting my cut here and her prices are reasonable. Her taste in music is perfect. On top of all this her doggo Yuzu is SO adorable and a great co-host. What more could you ask for! read more

Been getting my hair colored by Yasuko for a few years now and the service is always top notch! Yasuko is extremely skilled at her craft and very welcoming and accommodating to whatever requests I have made. Space is comfortable and inviting, with wifi and amenities. Well priced and great quality service. Highly recommend! read more

I had a bangs cut and got exactly what I wanted - Yasuko is also very friendly and the dog is cute

I went to the studio for about 3 years. Every time I felt happy being there. The nice and stylish decor, all good hair products Yasuko would apply to your hair. Meanwhile she has a very good / up to date taste for styling hair. The whole booked time is yours. I like quite and personal space, you can relax and enjoy the time. Sadly I moved to another state currently, so far didn't find any good stylist... Anyway I would highly recommend Yasuko. read more

Love my haircut by Yasuko. Appointment booking through the website was super easy, the salon was very clean and there was plenty of parking. Yasuko was very friendly and accommodating. My hair wash and conditioning was extremely relaxing, and my hair cut was great. Will definitely return again to color my hair :) read more

Love this new location to get my hair done by Yasuko! I trust her with my hair especially coloring. She is very creative. I typically show her color inspirations I have seen and like. Then based on my current hair situation, she will customize a look for my hair and also think about future hair goals as well. She will also explain the process so I know what is going on. I finally was able to have my dream hair after coming to her for several sessions. After many experiences with hair coloring at different salons, even with funky colors, with Yasuko, I am pleasantly surprised that I don't end up with stained skin or scalp. Very cute and clean spot with wifi. Parking is a breeze. I love sessions with Yasuko because she will only handle one client at a time. Easy to talk to as well and patient with my thick hair! read more

I've been going to Yasuko for YEARS! I REALLY APPRECIATE that she's talked me out of going blonde and getting bangs but I really love the fact that she's made me feel welcome and comfortable enough to keep coming back as a regular customer. She's professional, consistent, and detailed in her craft. She's the best and I recommend her to everyone I know! read more

I've been seeing Yasuko for years, and I have not left any of my appointments disappointed. She listens really well to what you want, and also asks the right questions to pinpoint what exactly it is you are visualizing for your hair. Her attention to detail and precision is so appreciated, and it makes huge difference. I love the cuts and balayage she has done for me. Even when I've gone rogue and done some stupid DIY things at home, she doesn't judge my ridiculous decisions. She has rescued my hair when I went orange (on purpose, but such a bad call), and we've been gently going back to blonde without compromising the health of my hair. Her space is so warm and inviting, and I feel very comfortable during my super long appointments. She's so easy to talk to, and that makes it even easier to bounce ideas off her to see what can be achieved for the next appointment. So grateful to have found her! read more

This is a long overdue review but I've been coming to Yasuko for haircuts for a while now and love her work! She is super detail oriented and understands Asian hair really well. I have some pretty stubborn bangs that she's does a really good job cutting, and her hair cuts come with a really relaxing hair wash and brief head massage. Overall would highly recommend! read more

In all my 27 years of living, my hair has NEVER looked and felt so good!!! She was polite, professional, clean, punctual. There aren't enough great things I could say about Yasuko. It was obvious to me she had a natural aptitude to her profession when she knew exactly how to cut my hair without my direction. Brilliant, really. The prices she charges for each service I feel is more than reasonable considering her high quality of work and attention to detail. I genuinely feel like I got more than my money's worth. I would be glad to return as a customer in the near future and I definitely will! Bonus: Loved the music in the background. read more

First time here. Appointments were difficult to come by, but communication via email was smooth. The location was comfortable and Yasuko was very nice. She listened to what I wanted and did a real nice job getting me to as close as what I had asked for, despite me choosing the wrong type of appointment. Her dog is adorable and I would definitely go back again. read more

I am Asian with fine, black hair and have really appreciated how Yasuko has taken care of me for the past 3+ years. She always listens to my thoughts and provides expert opinions if I'm not sure on what to do. I started my hair journey with her with short, blonde balayage hair, transitioned to natural, short hair during COVID, and now have long, brown balayage hair (and most recently added curtain bangs!). Yaskuo has made sure I looked good with every visit and I really appreciate her kind attitude and attention to detail, especially for the cuts! And it's always an extra treat seeing Yuzu, her tiny pup. read more

I was not impressed with the work I had done. I won't be going back here. Anyone considering, don't waste your time

Yasuko is super professional and easy to talk to! She will be super honest about what can be achieved with your hair. I came in recently with super damaged/dyed hair and she helped save my hair. She is honestly a hair magician! Not only does she know how to do hair but she can tell you HOW to take care of it which is so important because not all stylists do. I've had two appointments with her and I will continue to come back. Book with her for any of your hair needs and you will not be disappointed! read more

This woman is a miracle worker in disguise! I LOVE MY HAIR after my visit here. I don't mind how much I pay as long as the results are good, and the results here are way above all expectations! I went in not knowing what color I wanted, but I just knew I had to fix my "ombre" that my previous hair stylist messed up. I wanted something low maintenance where I didn't have to come back in as often for touch ups and after looking at my hair for a few minutes, Suko knew exactly what to do. It's hard to find a stylist you can trust nowadays, but your hair is in good hands with Suko. read more

Yasuko is wonderful! I messaged her through yelp to see what to for black hair to blue hair and she was very quick to direct me styleseat to book my appointment. We discussed what I wanted and she was able to tell me that it may not be achievable in one appointment. In the end she was able to lighten my hair enough to put blue in it and blend it with purple for a better transition! She gave plenty of tips of how to upkeep my hair and we were able to chat easily. She's been doing hair for 8 years and it definitely shows! read more

Beauty By Yasuko - Blue with purple transition - Hair Stylists Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Yasuko is such a thoughtful and detail-oriented stylist. She is respectful in her approach, and I'm really picky with my stylists (I had the same stylist for 15 years before moving here). My hair got so many compliments after my first visit with her! And her private salon feels really comfortable and serene. read more

Love my haircut here!! Very professional and skillful! Especially love the appointment booking system and the environment there. Yasuko looks veru young but very experienced!! read more

I am still going to Yasuko for hair coloring. Can't believe it has been 3 years already. I always let her decide the color of my hair and I never had to worry about it. She cuts my hair now too, I tell her how I like my hair and she did exactly that. Her studio only has one chair, so I don't need to worry about other people being in close proximity. One can relax during the entire time. The room is really clean and tidy. read more

I had my haircut appointment and I'm not happy about it at all. She is a gentle lady but her skill is not up to my standard. Really mediocre. I thought she was trained in Japan so she knows the Asian hair. But I'm wrong and I'm very disappointed with the result that came up. read more

It's always a fantastic experience having my hair done by Yasuko. I don't mind her relocation from Viange salon; indeed, I love her new place in Sunnyvale better- bright and modernly elegant. As always, Yasuko has that magic touch on your hair, and yess I'm pretty much addicted to that seamlessly ashy blend. But at the same time she keeps it real with what could be achievable and realistic from the get go. I love her for that!! P/s: Check out the Milbon hair treatment if you don't have much time to take care of your hair like myself :) read more

Yasuko is AMAZING. I have had balayage/ombre done on my hair consistently for about the past 4 years or so, and Yasuko's work is by far the best -- and trust me, I've seen a lot of hairstylists (good ones) throughout the years. I keep looking in the mirror at how awesome my hair came out. The blend from the black hair to blonde just looks so natural. She switched locations less than a year ago so I think that's part of why she doesn't have a ton of reviews, and she also definitely is not about speed or working on a ton of people at once. She takes her time with each person and makes sure to explain everything to you and is honestly just so much fun to talk to. I would give her 6 stars if I could!! read more

I just moved to the bay area a year ago and found Yasuko. She was quick to respond to begin with and has done a great job with my hair since I've seen her. Her pricing is also very reasonable. No need to search for another stylist. read more

I found Yasuko when she was over at Viange after I let my last stylist color my hair for the first time in forever (and hated my color). I love the cuts and colors she gives me. I usually just tell her what length and color-ish I want, but let her decide on the details (highlight? layers? etc...). Also it's a breeze to book your reservations directly with her through styleseat.com read more

I get my hair done here all the time and I love it! She does an incredible job with color. I usually bring a picture and she can pretty much match exactly to what I want! He studio is in a really cool shopping center with lots of over stylists, waxing studios, etc so if your looking for other services this place has lots to offer as well! read more

Using my husband's account for this Yelp review. I trust my hair with Yasuko as I know she will always do a good job. I love that she focuses on one client at a time, which is rare to find from other stylists nowadays. Looking forward to my next appt in a few weeks! read more
