This was my first time getting a haircut in the U.S., and I was honestly very nervous. I usually fly back to Taiwan to get my hair done. But I am SO happy I decided to come here! I showed her a photo of the style I wanted, and she cut it exactly like the picture -- even better than I expected. I also told her about my issue with my bangs separating in the middle, and she added more density and completely fixed the problem. After the cut, I felt like a brand-new person! To be honest, her technique is even better than my stylist back in Taiwan. The price is also very reasonable. I'm extremely satisfied, and I will definitely keep coming back to her from now on. Highly recommend! read more

I've been a customer for almost 5 years already. Nancy, the owner has been helping me diligently whenever I get a full service. Nancy is so professional but at the same time kind and attends seriously to her clients need. She knows her craft and suggests what is the best color for your hair, be it highlights or a full head color. She also is best in haircuts, doing mani/pedi. Overall, I would never go to any hair salon except Color Box. I highly recommend Nancy's services esp to those who seeks an overall excellent service... read more

Color Box Salon - Nancy got the exact color we asked for.... She made sure to do exactly the right one!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Newark, California

First time getting my hair professionally colored, and I'm so glad I went to Nancy. I came in with box dyed orange hair with 3 months of regrowth. Didn't really know what I wanted, aside from (1) a darker color for the winter, (2) something that would blend in with my roots so I could avoid re-bleaching. Once I told Nancy this, she suggested the perfect idea: a warm cherry red! The entire process went so smoothly. I've got a lot of hair, so it was a miracle that I was in and out in 2 hours. But, she's experienced and efficient. Coated every bit of hair and thoroughly washed/shampooed several times. My hair is still healthy and looks great in all types of lighting. Excellent service, clean salon, and gorgeous results. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I came here after I saw all the great reviews on Yelp. I made an appointment a week in advance and was seated right away. I asked for a v shaped haircut with face framing layers and got more of a u shaped haircut but it's okay! The woman helping me out was very nice and made sure to straighten and brush my hair. The only reason why I gave this place a 4/5 stars was because I asked for 1 inch to be cut off and it was more like 4-5 inches. However, I understand due to the ends of my hair being really dry and prone to breakage so I get that she wanted to cut as much dead hair off as possible. I was quoted $35-$60 for a woman's haircut over the phone and this cut was $45 so I was pretty happy with the price as well. I would come back! read more

Nancy was very welcoming as a first time customer! Her service & personality made us feel welcomed!

Nancy is literally the best!!! She is so kind, caring, and will go above and beyond to make sure you're happy. Even when I'm not sure with what I want, I'll show Nancy colors that I like and she'll be honest with what she thinks, how the color will fade, or how it fits my face shape. We'll work together to make sure we go for something I really want. She's dyed/bleached my hair a few times now and she's quick! In the past I've sat in the chair for 8 hours, but she can finish a color + cut in about 3 hours. I also leave with my hair softer than coming in, even after bleaching. I don't know what magic she's doing, but she's incredible! She can cut hair so well and will always make sure it suits your face. She even has taught me how to curl my hair with a straightener and taught me how to style my curtain bangs. She's so thoughtful and caring, I've never had a hair stylist be this great. She always says she wants you to be 110% happy with her service and I always am! read more

Nancy is such a great stylist!

Color box is very professional, kind, efficient and reasonably priced. All the qualities you could ask for from a salon. I have had pink/red hair for a year, and wanted to change to something more natural. After doing some research, I contacted color box. Nancy had me over to analyze my hair, and after confirming that she could strip my current color off, we settled on a date to do my hair. Nancy and her niece Mei Mei were so patient and kind with me. They did a wonderful job stripping all the red/orange color off my hair, and did a fabulous job matching the color I wanted. Nancy really took her time to make sure everything was done to perfection. They are also extremely gentle to me since I'm 7 month pregnant. They made sure to use high quality products that's safe for me too. The end result is stunning! I would definitely be coming back. read more

I was in dire need of a haircut and was recommended by a few people to check out Color Box Salon. Located across the street from Newpark Mall, it was easy to find with plenty of parking. The hair salon is on the smaller side with three chairs. They also offer manicure and pedicure services. Nancy was the one who cut my hair, and she was warm and welcoming. She was honest and communicative, and I felt comfortable throughout my appointment without having any worries that she may cut my hair too short or what not. Overall, I am extremely happy with my haircut. Nancy did a wonderful job and I will be returning! read more

Nancy is literally an answered prayer!! It's few days before my wedding and I wanted to do a Balayage Highlights with my hair.

She's very competent, does her job excellently with no compromise. Very skillful and truly a person who's passionate in her craft. A superb artist!

I've been seeing Nancy to get my hair done for two and a half years now. Before I came to Color Box Salon, I would go to hairdressers who would never fully understand what type of cut I wanted or what color would suit me best. I had always wanted to experiment with colors like pink, lavender, and more, so I found Color Box Salon, and wow, Nancy has always done an amazing job! She's dyed my hair pink, lavender, and most recently, she's dyed my hair a beautiful white-blonde with pink under layers; it's gorgeous! She always does such a wonderful job and never fails to give me a hairstyle that suits me and is the one that I wanted. Every time I book an appointment with Nancy, I look forward to it and have the best time getting my hair done. Nancy is just so talented and so sweet, and she's genuinely become my favorite hairdresser I've ever had! So, please make sure to visit and support Color Box Salon! It's such a lovely place, and I don't know what I would do without Nancy! read more

Very friendly barber, does great men's haircuts, particularly fades. Clean studio, comfortable atmosphere.

Nancy is an amazing hair stylist, I have been going to her for haircuts for almost 8 years now and she is the best. I recently got a Keratin straightening treatment from her and I could not be happier with the results. She spent over 8 hours to make sure I was happy with the results of the Keratin on my thick, curly hair. She is very detailed with her work and I do not trust anyone else with my hair but her. I cannot recommend Nancy enough, she really is the sweetest and most professional hair stylist. read more

Color Box Salon - My hair before the Keratin - Hair Salons Near Me - Newark, California

Ms. Nancy is such an awesome stylist! I came in to get my hair trimmed and dyed. I've never had my hair bleached, so I was really nervous about coming into a salon in the first place. I was recommended this salon by a friend, who also got her hair done by Ms. Nancy. I liked her results and decided to give it a go for myself. Upon arrival, I was greeted and asked my hair history. I was given an estimate for the price and approximately how long it would take to get my hair done--both of which were reasonable and gracious! Some suggestions were made by the owner and we both talked over the specifics of what I was hoping to get done, as well as what was reasonably achievable in the day. Ms. Nancy took time on my hair to achieve the best result that I would be comfortable with. I let her know how much of my hair I wanted bleached, and she took extra time to make sure the desired length of my hair was accurately set out before she applied anything on it. At some point, when Ms. Nancy put the color dye into my hair, I realized that the color wasn't exactly what I envisioned. She wasted no time and quickly took the color out (a dark-ish purple color) and put in a lighter plum-pink color into my hair. I loved it--I'm sure other stylist could do the same, but Ms. Nancy was so patient and understanding to my requests! She worked hard and made sure I knew every little step. When the color wasn't what I imagined, I tried to come to terms with it in my mind (it was my mistake thinking that the color I picked out was going to look better than what it actually did). I thought that I would have to leave the salon looking the way I did. Ms. Nancy quickly figured out that I wasn't too happy despite me not saying anything bad to her, and she reassured me that everything was an easy fix. You can totally be honest with her about anything; she knows what she's doing and is super skilled! I will definitely be coming back later. She deserves all the praise; she's a gem! read more
