Second time with Rhonda and I'm loving the boho braids! This photo was taken 3 weeks after she first installed them.
Lisa A.

Rhonda has always done an amazing job with my braids! Even though I moved out of town, I still go back to Rhonda and recommend her to my friends! She's quick and does my hair exactly like I show her. Thanks Rhonda!

Selfish with braids

Fantastic! She is so sweet, and had great suggestions for me. I grew up French braiding my own hair, but it's super fine and would loosen and slip out. Rhonda added in caramel colored hair and a pop of blue! She did Dutch Braids, cornrows, with feed-in. I feel literally like a young My family and I ran a 5k race the very next day, and now we are heading to the mountains for week-long Boy Scout trip at a lake camp. Hair held up great, and I TONS of compliments already! Totally recommend her!

my hair blown out the day of the appt
Alex S.

had an awful experience here, strongly suggest going elsewhere. I have 3B/3C hair i would say., but came to this place with pin straight blown out hair. (see photos). 1. I bought the french curl hair from amazon, which is a little difficult to work with i know, but i've been getting my hair done by a beginner braider for a while now, same hair, same style and my braids lasted 4+ weeks. (see photos) Now, she started my hair a little before 10 am, and was finished by 12pm. super fast! but.. all my braids started unraveling within 48 hours, if not less.. I seriously mean all of them. Hair was not properly tucked, ends were not secured, see photos. 2. the reason i came to rhonda is because she has great reviews, and she fit me in on a crunch because my braider cancelled on me last minute. I got my hair done on a Wednesday, and told her I had a flight to Korea on Friday morning, and thanked her for fitting me into her busy schedule. I do think she is a great braider, and very skilled. but I noticed my parts are uneven.. there's a braid on the center of my head. she takes shortcuts and cuts corners in order to finish braids super fast. i believe she took advantage of the fact that I was on a time crunch and desperate to get braids asap, and in turn provided me with shoddy, half assed braids. 3. She also knew they would unravel, (yes, she admitted it) but didn't tell me at the time. Not sure why, possibly so she could tell me to come back so she could charge me to fix it. That is just so unprofessional and nasty. She was actually gassing me up when she was done, she took pictures she said they look beautiful, she was complimenting me, yet she knew the back looked like trash and was bound to unravel. (see texts) I paid $225 for this. $225 to get my braids basically half done, i spent hours fixing my braids before my flight, and was still fixing them literally on the plane to korea, in the streets of korea, etc because when i say EVERY braid was jacked up, i sincerely mean it. 4. I did text her regarding this literally on my flight and... see her response for yourself.. TLDR: Don't come here if you are looking for good quality braids that will last longer than like 2 weeks. seriously gonna have to take these out as soon as i get back from korea. She's quick for sure and a good conversationalist, but at the end of the day if you're in a time crunch and she graces you with a slot in her books, don't do it. find somewhere else. Esp I attached photos, sorry the last few are out of order Luckily, in the end she gave me a refund of $125, but still, wanted to give you all a heads up.

Rhonda is amazing! My girl has a softball tournament this weekend and her braids lasted all three days noooo problem! She looked amazing for a solid week! athen she took them out for some great curl hair style!!!Rhonda was so sweet to her and she can't wait to go back for her next tournament. Our second visit she brought her teammate too! They got matching braids. Rhonda is soooo kind. we love her!

Rhonda still doing my hair and does it the best! My crochet braids last me a long time and she's pretty quick.

Leana A.

Rhonda has done my feed in's for festivals a few times now and she is always so professional, quick, and fun to talk to! Her beauty studio is cute and clean, and I can tell Rhonda really knows what she is doing. She is also super accommodating in regards to my busy schedule. I give her a little creative freedom when it comes to the finishing touches and I always get so many compliments Her braids are a godsend when I am in the desert dancing my butt off for 3 days straight!!! Her braids are low maintenance, they keep my hair out of my face, and they are a super easy way to level up outfits! I've gone to a few different braiders in the Bay Area and Rhonda consistently delivers the best braids for my adventures. I'm terrible at taking pictures at festivals but here are the two sets she has done for me thus far!

2 French braids. Love 'em!
Denise W.

I'm SO happy that I found Braids by Rhonda. I was looking for someone in my area that could do the braids that I wanted. I contacted Rhonda via Yelp! She responded back immediately. I knew that I was asking a lot for a last minute appointment. She was able to see me at 2pm. Her work is ON POINT, so much that I didn't need to look in the mirror. I'll be booking another appointment for singles very soon. Book your next appointment with her. You won't be disappointed.

Alexys E.

First time in my life that I was able to sleep relatively comfortably the first night with braids in! Rhonda's braids are neat and tight enough so they stay in your head without all the unnecessary pain that sometimes comes with other braiders. I'm also glad the nape of my neck was spared. In the past with other braiders, I would develop painful bumps across the back of my neck because they were so tight. Not with Rhonda's braids! What I got are medium sized box braids, bra-strap length for $275. Next time I'm getting them longer! What else can I say, the braids are perfect. Rhonda is also very sweet with a great personality. Very happy to have found a fantastic braider in SJ.

Highly skilled and very quick! Also just a Lovely lady and a delight to be around. I took my braids out after 3 weeks but only because I was dying to properly scratch my head! They could have lasted much longer.

Rhonda was so personable. My son's braids stayed in for two weeks. We followed her instructions for proper braid care to keep them looking fresh. We only took them out because he got them sandy at the beach.

Art!

Hey there, hope you're having a beautiful day. Anywho, Rhonda is such an amazing artist. I mean that! She and I collaborate and she does amazing things with my hair. She also happen to be an amazing human being and you'll be better for spending time with her. So just do it! You won't regret it

What an absolute professional and sweetheart. Rhonda really goes above and beyond for her clients, takes the time to get to know them, and ensures that her clients leave more than satisfied. I absolutely LOVE my box braids and I look forward to coming back. Also, shout out to Rhonda for providing advice for how to properly take care of my braids - they'll last so much longer now.

Adriana G.

Rhonda is absolutely amazing. Both my daughter and I have gotten our braids done with her and I couldn't recommend her more. My knotless braids were totally painless and lasted a long time.

Came into MyStylist's salon needing a color correction and left feeling like a whole new person…read more They completely fixed my blending, brought the color all the way up to my roots, and helped me achieve the ashy silver gray blonde tone I've been wanting for so long after a previous service done elsewhere. Not only did my hair come out BEAUTIFUL, but the whole experience honestly made my birthday month so much better Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and really took their time making sure everything blended seamlessly and still kept my hair feeling healthy. Also shoutout to their in-house matcha bar because the Earl Grey matcha made by the owner was sooo good Such a cute touch that made the appointment feel even more special. Definitely recommend booking with them if you're looking for talented stylists who really care about the results and the experience

I honestly never thought purple would be possible on my hair. I even walked into my appointment…read moreready to switch to blonde if that ended up being the only option (all of her work looked amazing). But My completely proved me wrong in the best way. She delivered the exact purple I always dreamed of and she did it in one session while keeping my hair healthy. I am still shocked every time I look in the mirror. I booked almost two months ahead because I knew she was in demand and it was absolutely worth the wait. My explained everything, made sure my hair stayed strong throughout the entire process, and I was out of the chair before I knew it. On top of being incredibly skilled, she is hilarious and so easy to talk to - time flew by. The whole appointment felt fun and comfortable from start to finish. All the girls in the salon were so easy to talk to and made for such a comfortable environment. My is amazing and the quality of her work speaks for itself. I am obsessed with my hair and My has definitely gained a loyal client (already booked my next appointment)!

Please save your hard earned money. Deborah thinks more highly of herself than anyone else. I went…read moreto her thinking I was going to the best. Showed her what I wanted...dark roots and balayage. After advising if what she could do (with a whole bunch of animated behavior bragging about her abilities), I walked out after 10hrs (!!) with half done hair. Just bleached, no color/toner. Meanwhile, I had a super important meeting 3 days later that I had to be ready to present at. I looked like a frizzled mess!!! She burnt my hair to a crisp. I begged her for an appt before my meeting, even though she was supposed to finished everything day 1, and she kept me for an additional 7 hours. When I say my hair was burnt, I'm not exaggerating. It's taken over a year to grow my hair out. I never even got what I wanted. She gave my uneven blonde highlights...not the dark roots and balayage that I'd requested. And yes, I took a whole bunch of pictures in. All in, I paid $2K CASH...bc she refuses to take anything else so I assume she doesn't pay taxes. Plus I paid over $500 in treatment products to help heal my hair since. I was embarrassed to leave the house. All I heard from her own mouth was how great she was. I think she's great at extensions but definitely not bleaching dark hair. I had healthy hair going in, she has messed it up so much that my hair is STILL breaking and it's been over a year. Please avoid at all costs. Go to a proper studio. Funny thing is not only does she only take cash, but she INCLUDES her own MANDATORY 20% tip...isn't a tip based on services rendered?? You've been warned.

Deborah did an amazing job getting the brassiness out of my hair and got it blonder than anyone has…read moreever been able to! I had about 5 appointments with a high end colorist in SF that never got it anywhere close to what I wanted! Everyone told me it wasn't possible but Deborah did it on the first appointment. I've been growing out my natural gray but I still have a lot of brown so I'm mostly trying to go for a cool toned bright blonde/white so it blends more with my roots as they grow out so I can go longer between appointments. I don't want my hair to look like a natural gray, I still want it to have a pop and feel current. Deborah was honest about what would work in our video consultation, as well as with pricing upfront. She also told me how to take care of it moving forward and what is need to do at home to maintain the cool tone. It look a long time (about 7-8 hours) but she is extremely precise and detailed at her work and it clearly shows. Thank you, Deborah!

Everytime I go to different salons from looking at pictures online, they have their assistants do most of the work while they oversee the assistants.

I messaged Nancy on instagram and she was very prompt with her response and helped fix and achieve the hair color that I wanted. Nancy is really welcoming and super nice.
