Two days before an out of town wedding my hairdresser of over two years and her backup person, canceled on me. I was stressed to find someone to color my hair. I left a message on the telephone at Creche Salon. Within one hour, Christie returned my call and fit me in on a Sunday afternoon. She did my color spot on and while I wasn't planning to have a haircut, she did have some suggestions that I was happy to receive. I came out with a stylish cut that made me feel like a new person! There's great parking and a welcoming feeling in the salon. Christie is amazing! read more

Made an appointment with Alex online. I was able to get in the next day for a root touch up. Salon is located in downtown Willow Glen. Big parking lot in the back. Salon is very cute, and clean. Alex was very nice, great personality. Very fun to talk to. I appreciate that he had late appointments able for those to work late. read more

Berenice was amazing. My wife made an appointment with no prior experience there. Berenice was recommended by Anthony after a short discussion with him and he was absolutely correct. Berenice asked the right questions to understand what she wanted and then proceeded to perfectly execute the plan. The time was well managed and price was very fair for all the work. I cannot recommend this location and team enough. If you are looking for a hair stylist, you will be more than happy here. DO IT!!! read more

Creche Salon - After 2 years of no haircuts and box colors Berenice created this look in one visit. AMAZING!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Thank you to Shaleen Dae Fricano for always making my hair looking BOMB! She always takes her time and makes sure my hair looks fantastic. Color and extensions are on point. I not only found the best hair stylist , I also found a loving and caring friend. read more

Hey guys, I never usually write a review but I just had to after this. I unfortunately have a very busy schedule and was just looking for a great salon right by me. Happliy paid triple digits and generally was satisfied with the service. I asked for color in June-ish and Kayla Cienega worked on my hair. She told me that to get the color I wanted I needed to come back later in the summer to lighten it up. Unfortunately things have been getting moved around on my calendar a lot and I had to cancel a few appointments between my second color and first (ya know... wash / dry or the occasional trim). Always paid the late fee without complaining because service was pretty good. I had to cancel my last color because I was busy for a last minute trip. No response from Kayla. Then I texted to ask to kindly reschedule. A day or two passed and she said she can't have me as a client because I canceled in the past. Unfortunately this means.... I'm left with a half-done color job. I am understanding but I felt she was not acceptable of my line of work and variable schedule. Hate leaving bad reviews but heads up guys! If you go (which I suggest you do since it's great) and want good & complete hair w/o discrimination against your schedule that comes with your job / life dynamic, request anyone BUT Kayla Cienega. Peace read more

After DIY cutting & coloring from a store bought box I was screwed and unhappy with my look. Bball caps & ponytails had become my daily go to .. blah! Ironically it was a girl in a bball cap & ponytail that caught my attention. Her hair looked so healthy I had to compliment her. She laughed, told me it wasn't always this way & highly recommended Anthony who had fixed her hair nightmare. Hope on the horizon, I gave him a call, went in for consult, then back for my appointment. Anthony exceeded my wishes & I left feeling like a million bucks. This is a hairstylist with years of knowledge, experience & a real passion for his craft. read more

I love this spot!! I had been in a mad panic the day before I was leaving for college and I found the salon on a Monday and I was immediately helped by Lizbeth. She was so amazingly friendly and immediately addressed my needs. She scheduled me and I was able to talk through my hair issue and she problem-solved with me to find a curated solution for my overly-processed hair. We agreed on lowlights, a root melt, plus tone, and a haircut. She immediately went to work and quickly fixed all my problems. She knew exactly what she was doing and did everything with care. I LOVE how my hair turned out and I highly recommend Liz for anyone who needs a professional to do their hair!!! It turned out so lovely! Thank you!! read more

Christie is AMAZING. She went above and beyond on my cut and color (truly, I am over the moon) and she's a delight to talk to! Cannot recommend this place enough :) read more

Called to make an appointment as a first time client. I was given the names & numbers of three stylists so that I could contact them directly. I called all three and NONE of them returned my call and it's been over three weeks. Not a great way to do business. read more

Creche Salon is in downtown Willow Glen in a very cute spot that is tucked away from Lincoln. The salon itself is cute and filled with natural light. On a lovely day, they sometimes keep the doors open and the breeze and sunlight wash the space. I've been going to Kayla for years, and I highly recommend her! She is awesome with both cuts and color and asks questions on what you need and checks to make sure that you both are on the same page before a treatment. I also love chatting with her and she is patient and gentle. She always makes me feel fantastic after seeing her! read more

Just tried this cute little salon for the first time today and it was an absolute treat! The friendly receptionist got me an appointment last minute with Berenice and she was awesome! She was so friendly and welcoming as was the owner Anthony. I thought $75 was kind of pricey for a trim but when i walked out feeling like a new woman it was worth every penny. The salon was also very bright, cheery and so clean! I will definitely be coming back!! read more

Creche Salon - Love my hair!! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

The salon was nice but I rate one star because my stylist Vida was rude and did an awful job on my hair. I was looking for a more blonder look with balayage highlights. I understand that my hair was grown out and it would take two sessions. If my hair looked good I wouldn't be posting a bad review and would gladly do another session. This was not the case. This salon gets a 5-star rating so I thought I would be good going here but I was wrong. Vida barely spoke to me and was doing two peoples hair at the same time as mine. She shouldn't have overbooked herself and maybe I would've had a better experience. She didn't have time to style my hair and didn't even show me the back of my hair she was so busy. I looked at the back of my hair the next day and was appalled by my $200 new dye job. Everyone said it didn't even look like I got my hair done. I texted her the next day and she was super rude to me blaming me that she told me she couldn't achieve what I wanted in one session. I told her that was fine I knew that but my hair looked horrible. She finally changed her tune when I flat out told her I didn't like it and was unhappy. She offered to fix it just for the price of the product which I appreciated but the trust was broken. Be careful who your stylist and really talk about what you're aiming for! read more

I had never gotten my hair colored before, so I was really nervous. However, everyone in the salon made me feel really comfortable, and Anthony did a great job of trying to understand exactly what I wanted by asking me questions about pictures and explaining everything that was possible for my hair given how dark it was. The color came out EXACTLY the way I wanted!! It was significantly lifted, whole still looking super natural, and my hair doesn't feel damaged at all. I highly recommend Anthony and this salon in general :) read more

I called Creche Salon after looking through Groupon to see what places might be offering some deals. After talking with the owner about what I was looking for and a general date, I was paired with Kayla. I am so glad that I was! I've been in her chair since I moved to the area (~2.5 yrs). She took the time to ask why I left my last hairstylist, then set to work. She's helped me grow my hair out from pixie to just past my shoulders, add in gorgeous highlights, and taught me how to style my hair. I've also been in her chair just to get my hair styled for a big night. I'll be back until I or her leave the area. read more

I left a vm to get my hair done and never got a call back. I guess they are not looking for business.

I found this salon online. I had an appointment with Kayla for a wash and blow dry. My appointment was more for me to check out the salon. They are open without imposing mask mandates on customers. The salon is super cute with plenty of parking. Kayla was great! She listened to what my concerns are with my hair. She reassured me that she would be able to work with my hair. I also appreciated Kayla's straightforward nature about what she can and can't do. She told me she does not cut hair for children. I appreciated that instead of her doing something she is uncomfortable with. The price point is competitive for the area, it is actually less then what I was paying at a near by salon. I like Kayla and the salon, I hope to have a long term relationship moving forward. read more

I almost don't want to write this review because I want my hair to be the prettiest in all the Valley, but I was so blown away today by Anthony's talent that I had to share pictures and what are pictures without the thousand words? This is my second visit with Anthony at Crèche and he absolutely nailed it! My first appointment happened after I manically chopped off a ton of my own hair after watching one of those sped up Instagram videos and I was sure I'd have to get a pixie cut. Nope! Anthony fixed my head up just right. He's so good at understanding what the client wants which is key. With some stylists you can go on and on about what you want the end product to look like, and you're still left with bangs and a bob. Trauma! This is why I was snipping at my own locks in the first place. I'll never have cut my own hair again! That brings me to today's life changing appointment. I came in wanting brown, read: brown, highlights in my black hair. In the past when I've tried this I've gotten red, blonde, or brass-colored chunky streaks. In a leap of faith I asked Anthony if he could make this ever so unattainable brown work and he said yes. A couple of hours and a quick cut later I'm left with the best hair I've ever had! It's exactly what I wanted! Anthony is also warm and hilarious-- so easy to talk to! Which, honestly, I don't think even matters at this point, I'd happily take a cold, earlobe snagging, neck stabbing, stylist if he could do what Anthony can. read more

Started coming here once Covid hit and have always felt safe and secure that they are taking every precaution for a sterile environment. Everyone (customers and staff) were wearing masks and keeping their distance. They offered masks and there was plenty of sanitizer and wipes in the salon. I get my hair cut by Berenice and she is the best! Now coming from a lifetime of chain haircut places (which have always been good) , it is worth paying the little extra $ to get a little extra attention and cleaner cut. Berenice always asks what we're doing this time and nails it every time. I will continue to come to Creche when everything opens back up. It's time I pamper myself a bit more when it comes to my hair :-) read more

********************* 1314 ********************** I don't usually spend a lot of money on my hair because I don't need much. My natural hair color is already light brown, no need for color. My GF got her hair done here by stylist AIMEE-LE, she insisted on me giving it a try. So I did. AIMEE-LE moved here from a salon on Santana Row which charges you a lot more. She took the time to give me a nice hair cut, and a make over with Bayalage. It took her over 2.5 hours and I don't even have that much hair. She puts protein, vitamin A, etc to make my hair stronger and healthier during the process. AIMEE-LE did such a great job, I have so many compliments on Instagram ;-) So if you want a beautiful hair do, a nice Bayalage, AIMEE-LE is the one, call Creche Salon for an appointment. You will thank me later, mention me for a special discount! read more

This was my second hair cut and toning with Bretton. I came with my sister and Bretton made an extremely tasty mocha for my sister, how nice was that when she was not even his customer?! As always, Bretton started off with a honest and informative consultation, a wonderful shampoo and massage while toning my hair to a warmer color, and ended with a great haircut and blow out. I could not recommend Bretton enough based on his fashionable instinct, incredible technique, and most importantly, his genuine effort to put his customers first. read more

I came here as a walk-in after another salon had made a mistake with my appointment (I actually found the salon by seeing the great Yelp reviews!). I didn't expect to be able to find another appointment for the same day since I had originally banked on going to the other salon, but Bretton made time for me, which I was very grateful for! I have very frizzy, curly, often difficult to manage hair, and can be lazy about going in for cuts. My hair had lost it's shape and had so many dead ends. Bretton was great at asking questions to find out exactly what I was looking for, and he also had helpful suggestions. He's very knowledgeable about products and hair care in general, and I very much appreciated his tips! He was able to really give my hair shape and life again, while maintaining its length. So glad I ended up at Creche. Highly recommended. read more

Anthony gave me the best haircut of my life today!! I went super short (above chin length) and it came out fantastic. He really knew how to cut my hair based on the texture and type of hair I have, and made sure to keep it looking full and healthy, even though my hair is thin and brittle, lol. I feel beautiful, modern and chic. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone moving forward. He is also a genuinely nice person and I enjoyed hanging out for an hour or so! Thank you! read more

This review is for my dear hairstylist Bretton. Every time I come to see him he asks all the right questions about my wants, needs, ability to execute a style and so on. I have had many haircuts with Bretton and every time I leave completely thrilled with the results. I mean seriously. Every time I leave him I feel like I have the best haircut of my life. And this most resent visit was no different. I love my haircut and my stylist and I always leave feeling like a million bucks without spending a million bucks. Bretton, Bretton, Sir Bretton Paul - the world is unworthy of your artistic talents and deep professionalism. These qualities make it so that every haircut is amazing and also matched to me and my skill set and amount of time I am willing to spend perfecting my hair. So here below are photos of my most recent 'best haircut ever' and let me tell you it's fabulous and super easy and fits me like a glove - well actually like a perfect haircut. One that could only be given to me by the consummate professional who always listens to my needs, takes his time and executes my vision. read more

Kayla saved my hair! I had been going to another stylist who dyed my hair a brassy orange (which was not what I was going for). I found Creche on Yelp and left them a message.

This review is for Bernice. After over 15 years of yo-yo experiences with stylists, I finally found one that I'm thoroughly happy with. Crèche salon is very warm and inviting. The other stylists are very friendly. You definitely don't get the "pretentious" feel, here at all. I personally, love all the healing crystals in here. Makes it feel safe. Bernice, is very attentive and intuitive when it comes to doing hair. She did a fantastic job on my color and cut. I've referred some friends to her and they love their hair just as much as I do. I left the salon feeling confident and very pleased with my new (permanent) stylist! She also did my little brothers hair! He loved it! He received compliments every where he went! read more

Janet is the BEST EVER!!!!!! I have been following Janet for 5 yrs in South Bay. I did try several other high profile salons in between. But trust me!! She's the best of the best. She's super skillful in handing coloring, highlight and of course haircut. I have typical Asian thick hair, always want to achieve effortless airily looking. When I almost gave up, Janet performed miracle on me. I have been with her from boy cut, mid length , length to waist and you named it. She always did something unique and gave me "wow" every single time. She's the one did color and highlight on me for first time in my life. And the result was fabulous! Every time I had a new cut, my friend can't stop raving abt the look. I love Janet! I'm diehard fan! wohoo! read more

5 stars for customer service-- accommodation, professionalism, and kindness. 2 stars for my haircut and styling. I just have to say that I have never been so well-received when calling a hair salon. Jack, their receptionist, conferred with the salon owner before making a recommendation as to who should cut my hair and why, my appointment time, everything. Seriously, I was floored. Exceptional customer service is definitely a forte at Creche Salon. As for my haircut, I confess to being disappointed. I have short hair (a long bob) that I can coax into beautiful curls with very little effort, PROVIDED that my hair has been adequately textured to remove lots of weight. What can I say? I have a lot of hair. Kayla was recommended as a stylist with extensive experience cutting high-volume hair. I came with my hair styled as I usually wear it, and I also brought a reference photo, since I wanted Kayla to incorporate a heavy, brushed bang. Kayla washed, cut, and styled my hair all in under an hour, which was surprising, as my last stylist used to spend at least 30 minutes razoring my hair to make sure it would be easy to style. I'm a wimp when it comes to customer service confrontation, so I was nearly in tears when she said I was done-- I liked the length and general feel of the cut, but she hadn't spent any time thinning it out, and the curls were almost imperceptible. Honestly, it looked like mildly cooperative bedhead. I think Kayla noticed that I wasn't overjoyed, and I finally plucked up the courage to say something. She was nice enough to add some more curls to the style with an iron, but the interaction afterwards felt forced, because she knew I wasn't happy, and I was just hoping she didn't hate me. I really appreciated that Kayla exposed me to a new type of cutting technique (she used a serrated scissor), but I couldn't justify going back to spend $80 on a haircut that I can't style afterwards. My curls feel just as heavy as they did before getting the cut, and they fall into uneven waves very shortly after styling. read more

I was looking for a new salon and I'm so happy I found this place. Kayla was able to schedule me super last minute right before I was going out of town. My hair was fading pink and in bad health. Kayla was able to take the color out, blend my roots, and do a cute cut. Now it feels so soft and healthy. I was very satisfied with her work and left feeling gorgeous. Definitely will be back! Thank you! read more

I've been doing my hair with Kayla for almost three years now and I'm very happy I found her!! I don't like hair salons and had bad experiences in the past with people not doing what I asked... Kayla always cuts my hair exactly how I want it ! Plus since I have very thin hair it's so nice to have her highlight and cut it in a way to give it a little more volume. Did I mention she's sweet and easy to talk to as well? Definitely recommend her to my friends and anyone who needs a great hair stylist This salon is well located and everyone is very nice and polite. They offer coffee, water, tea, etc...I like that the place is clean and looks professional. read more

I'll preface this review by stating that I've only been here once, so far, but my experience from start to finish was perfect. I called for a last-minute appointment, right before a family weekend celebration. I had been growing out my hair for a couple of years, and I really wanted to get a professional cut before we left. When I called, I was initially told that they didn't have anything that week. I was bummed, but realized it had been a long-shot. After some back and forth about timing for the following week one of the stylists (Kayla) offered to stay a little late on a Tuesday so that I could get in. Too late for the weekend, but I wanted my hair cut regardless. I was impressed to receive text message notifications about my appointment, and even more delighted to get a text later on from Kayla letting me know that she had an opening on Saturday. It was early enough that I could get in and get my hair done before leaving for the weekend. I was thrilled! Now, I have to say that traditionally it's been hard for me to find stylists who actually listen to what the customer wants, and do what is asked of them. Often, I've had stylists take liberties with my hair that ended up being "stylish" but ultimately unflattering. They didn't understand that all haircuts aren't for all people. (Betty Page bangs are not good on me!) This was not the case with Kayla. We spent some time talking about what I wanted, what my hair is like, and by the time she was done I had a cut that looks great either straightened, or left to dry curly on its own. She did exactly what I wanted, and did a fantastic job. I couldn't have been happier. read more

My new go-to salon! I decided I was tired of my hair looking "meh" and that I needed a complete overhaul. I'm typically a trim/cut type of gal, because I don't like spending tons of $ but knew I'd get the results I wanted if I got it colored...so that's what I did. I wanted a rich chocolate brown for fall, and Scout did not disappoint with the final result! She also did an EXCELLENT job on my hair. Although it was a little shorter than I wanted, it moves so well and feels so much lighter (I have pretty thick, heavy hair), and the style is growing on me. Besides, I'd rather have my hair be too short (it grows!) than the color be out of whack. The place is small but nicely decorated, with an adorable outdoor patio in the back. And, they played the BEST music (electronic, chill stuff). I was prepared to drop about $300 on my hair, not including tip, but the total came out to just over $200...which was a pleasant surprise! I love this place and can't wait to come back for my next color touch up. I FINALLY love my hair again!! read more

It took me about 2 appointments to realize I was going to become one of those people who booked appointments as far out as my schedule would allow. Love this salon. Anthony is truly a magician with blondes - he is an absolute artist with color and somehow knows exactly how to change it up when I need it in a flattering way. The extra time and care he takes with hair shows in the result, and my hair is definitely healthier than it was at my previously salon. Olivia at the desk is always a joy to see, and everyone is friendly. I always have a good time when I come in to visit and leave with a smile. Highly recommend this salon in general, and Anthony for sure with blondes! read more

****SHORT HAIR REVIEW**** As if moving cross country isn't stressful enough!!! But moving cross country and having to find a stylist who can cut short hard is just off the charts stressful. I have very full, thick, coarse short hair which means if a stylist makes a mistake, or can't really cut short hair, it shows! And it shows bad. For whatever reason the San Jose area seems to have a shortage of women rocking short hair so I couldn't do my usual technique of approaching random women with rocking hair cuts to get a stylist referral. I tried one salon and gave it a solid three attempts but each time came out disappointed. Finally I found Bretton through Yelp! My first appointment left me in love. Sweet sweet love where I just wanted to bring Bretton home with me so he could do magical things to my hair daily. But hey it was just the first appointment so love can fade right? No!!! Second appointment left me even more in love. Third appointment confirmed that I had found not just a stylist but someone who was willing to go above and beyond to make sure me and my hair were happy! I've seen Bretton at least four times now and will see him again tomorrow for a root touch up (gasp... grays I know!!!) Every appointment with Bretton he makes sure to go over any concerns I have and gives me his professional suggestions. Each hair cut he's given me has been amazing and I feel like they're just getting better. No in and out rush job here. He really takes the time to analyze the cut, growth, hair texture, etc... and styles to perfection! He's done my dye jobs and has transformed my hair from a brassy mess to a wonderful deep chocolate that is shiny and healthy! When I told him I wanted a smoothing treatment he made sure to pair me with a treatment that would be great for my specific hair type. My morning routine has been cut down tremendously thanks to his recommendation! You will definitely not go wrong with Bretton especially if you have short hair. I feel like most stylists can cut long hair but only the best stylists can truly master short hair. Bretton is among the best of the best. read more
