I was hoping to find a salon to go to here in the bay area after living here for a full decade. And…read moreI can say that I had better quality hair care during my time in Los Angeles. I went to this salon about three weeks ago based on reviews here on Yelp, ironically. I was a little alarmed at how unskilled the assistant the stylist had working with her was, and I think she may have left the toner on too long because she rushed me to the wash station. In the end after I got home and looking in the mirror, I was shocked. They completely gave me an incorrect shade of blonde and over the past few washes the toner has left it looking like a drab Dijon mustard color. I had called the salon immediately to let them know. I really wasn't happy with the color and I was considering going back for a fix. However, it occurred to me that if they messed it up the first time they likely would not be able to fix it. I'm planning a tiny wedding on a tiny budget for later this year and saved up $500 for my hair. It was the worst waste of money, I hate my hair, and now I'm I am going to go to my former Los Angeles stylist before a business trip because it's the only option I think I have. I would avoid the salon if you're a blonde. I'm still stinging over the $500 (!!! Insane!) I wish I could get it all back.

This review is for Libby…read more I've been seeing Libby for over two years and actually travel back to the Bay Area just to have my hair done by her - that's how good she is. She's a true color magician. She helped me transition through the awkward grey stage at exactly the right time, and later brought me back to light brown in a way that blends beautifully with my fast-growing greys and grows out naturally without constant upkeep. The moment I knew I could fully trust her was when she gave me a short haircut, something I'm usually very hesitant about and absolutely nailed it. Finding a stylist who is genuinely excellent at both color and cutting is surprisingly rare, and Libby is both. She listens carefully, understands the science behind how color and texture behave, and designs styles that actually look great as they grow out not just the day you leave the chair. She's also warm, funny, and incredibly easy to be around. Even my husband, who normally avoids hair maintenance altogether, got a cut from her and loved it. If you care about grey transition, natural grow-out, or just want low-maintenance hair that still looks polished, Libby is the one.

I'm writing this review for my mom (she has dementia)and these are my thoughts and observations…read more For one, this was the first time here because my mom's hairdresser lost her place in Dublin, so she found a stall here. Anyways, the place itself is pretty convenient since it's located by the freeway. The place is surprisingly pretty big and spacious and my mom's hairdresser is always patient and polite. I will admit probably for my mom's next visit I'll have to stick around a tad longer and help my mom and her hairdresser when my mom gets her hair washed. So not everything there is I guess ADA available, but it's a minor thing for now since my mom has very limited mobility but can move with some assistance. As for the hairstyle, mom is always happy and I personally think makes her feel as normal as she can get these days and being content let alone having another outside interaction besides with me is always a good thing!

haircut? ok. color…read moreyour hair? Not recommended. way too strong for the color chemicals. no cover at all. meaning after they applied the chemical to your beautiful hairs, it just left in the open. anything in your surrounding will have a chance get to your hair while waiting. especially you catch in a busy time. not sure why they don't put some kind of plastic film, shrink wrap, or that head dome just to protect your exposure from other debris like people haircut or something. I would go somewhere else to color or anything other than basic haircut. also, for some reason they don't wash your hair before or after the cut, even I asked, prior to apply the color. even they have the washing stations for whatever purpose they used for, or for some kind of special guests only.

Unfortunately, my experience at this salon was very disappointing. I came in with a clear reference…read morephoto and explained exactly what I wanted (balayage and color). I was told they could achieve the same result. However, the final outcome was completely different from what we agreed on. The color was not the same, the style was uneven, and my hair ended up damaged. I paid almost $400 for this service, expecting professional results, but the quality did not match the price at all. At the very least, I would have appreciated honesty if the desired result was not achievable. I left feeling very unhappy with the service, and now my hair needs repair. I hope the salon takes this feedback seriously and improves their services. (By the way Amber Lopez is the one who dyed my hair.)

My hair hasn't been touched in a while and I have thick Asian hair with a sensitive scalp. She did highlights on the top of my head, and the whole process didn't feel rushed at all -- we even finished faster than I expected. The salon setup is super welcoming. I was greeted right away by Janet and Gorgean, and their customer service was amazing from start to finish. The shop is organized, clean, and has such a warm, inviting vibe. Amber was working next to Paradise and she was a pleasure to chat with. She was doing a cut and styled blowout on another client, and the client looked incredible walking out. Overall, the atmosphere of the shop and the quality of everyone's work make me want to come back and get more done. Highly recommend!

Her space is beautiful and welcoming, and she's always generous with tips to help me care for my hair between visits. I leave every appointment feeling taken care of and confident.

I go see her every 6 months bc that's usually when I start to feel an itch and wanna do something to my hair LOL. The first time that I met her, I told her what I want & she gave me that & soooo much more! My hair originally was feeling dry and lifeless and ever since I've been going to Karla, it's been so shiny and healthy! Now whenever I go, I let her do whatever bc I trust her :) She's the type of hairstylist that will listen to what you want but explain to you about why this method might not work but this method can. She definitely isn't the stylist that just snips snips. Immediately meeting her, you get the feeling as if you guys have known each other for so long & it's just like old friends catching up whenever I'm there. If you wanna leave looking and feeling like a BADDIE, BOOK W/ HER. She's AMAZING.

Due to my recent childbirth, I was unable to visit for several months, yet she remembered exactly what I wanted and made me feel comfortable. Sonya listens carefully to my requests and truly understands my style. As someone who is quite picky and sensitive about my hair, I have visited many places looking for the right stylist who can deliver the look I envision. Sonya has consistently been the closest to what I desire, and I leave the salon satisfied every time. I am now even bringing my husband in for a haircut, and we both love the results. I highly recommend Sonya and this salon to anyone looking for a great experience!

I am so glad I came here on a whim. I am just blown away. I've always felt afraid getting my hair…read morecut, because my hair and face shape are very particular and I've been done dirty by other stylists in the past. When I arrived they were very busy (new years eve's eve; everyone wants a cut rn) but i and another girl were offered waters and macarons. We also received a complimentary Olaplex service for the wait. I nearly fell asleep during that service lol it was very relaxing and then my hair felt amazingly soft afterwards. Paula was incredibly caring. She took the time to really understand what I want and paused to ask me questions throughout. "Speak from the heart," is what she'd tell me to really make sure I was happy. She maintained my length, understanding how precious it was to me, but somehow gave my thinner Asian hair more volume with the U-shape cut technique. The layers and face framing pieces were soft and cohesive, blending into my hair naturally when unstyled. She did this intentionally because I mentioned I don't really have time to style my hair. But if I decide I do want to style my hair, the layers are there to play around with. I also struggle with flat hair, and she managed to give me volume around the head (unstyled!) with her cutting technique. Then at the end, she took notes on the cut I received to remember for the future. I just loveeee the attention to detail, the expertise, and how cared for I felt here. I think I've found my go-to salon now, finally.
