    Fall ready!
    Imee V.

    This review is long overdue. I've been trying to keep this place a hidden gem for some time, but I must give credit where credit is due. My hair typically takes a beating during travel, seasonal - weather change or simply me over-styling. Jessie approaches each visit with genuine care, artistry and evolves with the latest changes in hair color, technique and products. My favorite are the warm tones (bayalage). I always walk out feeling like a million bucks each time I see her. Thank you, Jessie

    My favorite so far! Purple that faded into the prettiest lilac over time.

    I've been going to see Jessie since 2022. Over the years she's become a trusted confidant and like a part of my family. Her coloring is amazing and prices are very reasonable! Jessie started doing overall hair color to cover up my grays, and then moved to highlighting. We've done all kinds of different colors like rose gold, blues/greens, purples, and coppers. All of them have looked AMAZING!! Her coloring is phenomenal but the actual hair cuts are so wonderful. I love how she is really thoughtful and takes the shape of my face into account (and how it's changed over the years due to weight loss) and she spends a lot of time making sure that the cuts are even and straight. I started seeing her when I lived in Alameda and then I moved over to Redwood City but I still drive the distance to see her. I won't let anyone else touch my hair! She is so understanding and accommodating of times when I've needed to be late or even cancel at the last minute due to sickness or an emergency with my kitties. A few weeks ago I contacted her to see if she could squeeze me in for a quick color since I had a job interview and she was able to squeeze me in when she was obviously busy! (Fast forward to my hair looked so good and I got the job!) Fun facts: At times, I've had to bring in my laptop to my appointment to work and she's always set me up with a little work space haha. And I can't even tell you how many times she's gone out to get coffee for me If you're on Yelp looking for a warm, talented, and dependable artist to do your hair, you can't find better than Jessie. I recommend all my friends to her.

    Jessie is still performing her magic on my hair! Still loving the color and I get many compliments. I have bayalage coloring and she also toned the top of my hair to hide my grey hair. Yes--I am truly getting old now and need professional help to hide my grey hair. Honestly, she is probably one of the best colorists in the Bay Area for Asian hair.

    Windy day!

    I've been going to Jessie to get my hair colored for a few years now! Before Jessie, I went around the Bay Area trying different salons from San Jose to Daly City and all the way to Walnut Creek. I love the results I got from the other salons but most of the time, in my first few washes, I can tell that my hair got super damaged during the dyeing process. My hair would get SUPER tangly upon washing my hair for the first time since dyeing it or the hair color fades to brassy only after a few washes. Those have been the main reasons why I'd try a different salon the next time. Then I found Jessie! Her salon is located in a plaza in Alameda and there's plenty of parking. Her salon is always very clean. I love her quality of work with her balayage/babylights - she always takes her time when she's working on my hair. She's also super nice as well and checked in on me a few times throughout the appointment to see if I need anything. Definitely pricier than the other places I've gone to but I feel like it's very well worth it. I feel like she uses quality materials. My hair always feels so soft after and the hair color lasts for a long while too! One of the great things about Jessie is that she doesn't rush her work so be prepared to spend about 4-5 hours at the salon! Know that it'll be well worth it!

    Ash blonde balayage (session 2) indoors

    A long awaited review, I had two sessions; one in April of 2021 and another in July 2021. I heard of Crop Salon from a friend and a coworker and I wanted to get an ash blonde balayage. I contacted Jessie by phone for a consultation. I came into the consultation and told her what I wanted and was honest what I've done to my hair in the past- I was probably a nightmare because my hair was black box dyed 6 months prior lol. She did a bleach strand test and recommended a color correction. She was very honest with me and transparent that I may not get the results I desire. We scheduled for March for the first session, though we had to reschedule because she was feeling the after effects of her vaccine that day. No biggie. Both sessions took all day- about 8 hours because I have thick hair! Jessie was amazing though and made sure I was comfortable throughout both sessions. My hair/balayage didn't look truly ash blonde until a couple weeks after my 2nd session so it definitely takes patience. Jessie was very helpful and recommended me over text what products to use to maintain my hair and what to use after getting my hair done because it was going to be extremely brittle and dry. I paid in cash both times, you get 5% off and also some free products of your choice. The first time I got a color safe shampoo and the second I got a hair cream treatment with texturizing powder.

    1 year later balayage, 3rd session

    I finally found THE BEST place to get your hair done in the Bay Area! Especially if you need balayage! I have seen Jessie several times now.. about 3 different times for balayage and 2 haircuts and I've been extremely happy each time. She is very skilled in her techniques and very meticulous, which is so important because my hair isn't damaged and I'm able to go several months before needing a touch up. On top of that, I just enjoy her and her salon so it's always a positive experience there. I won't go anywhere else as long as I live in California! Also the location is great and there is plenty of parking. Her prices are fair considering she is extremely skilled so it is worth every penny to me. I also like that she uses quality products that don't irritate my skin, especially since my skin is really sensitive. These photos are about a year apart. Highly recommend!!

    jessie fixed my hair so it looked like this!!

    Covid Update: Jessie is still the best person I've ever gone to for balayage and a haircut and I'm so glad I went back! There's a plastic shield that separates the two chairs (used to be three, they spaced them apart more) so you can feel super safe in case anyone else walks in. The place is super clean and the chairs are sanitized after every client. They also sanitize the bibs you wear for your haircut after every person! Jessie takes her time and makes your hair feel as nice as it did before you bleached it. This was another fantastic experience and I can't wait to be back again! :)

    Today's results!

    I've been going to Jessie for 2+ years she revived my hair completely! I used box hair dye for several years before I decided to go to a professional & I came across CROP! My hair has transformed now being healthy & shiny! Jessie is the best!

    Root melt 3 months later

    I came to Jessie last fall for a color correction and she did a great job. I have fine hair and lots of it, so it was a long process. She used babylights to retrieve my hair from chocolate-reddish all-over lowlights that were the wrong color for my complexion, applied too heavily, and applied unevenly. I came away with polished neutral-gold highlights that made me recognize myself in the mirror once again, and added a lovely oomph to my face. Yesterday I went back to get a root melt to extend the life of the babylights she did back in the fall. I love it! One thing I really love about Jessie is she shows you the colors she's going to use, explains the process in detail, and then texts you exactly what she did afterward. There are no secrets, no attitude that you should keep your nose out of her process. I think she understands how anxiety-producing getting color can be, and she knows how to dispel that anxiety for a certain type of nervous client (like me!).

    I love Jessie! She is so sweet. I've been to her two separate times - for a tone and for some baby lights - see photos. During the whole session she would check in to see how I was doing and if I needed anything - water, snacks, to go to the rest room, etc. I was her last session of the day and she had ordered pizza to the salon for her dinner and she even gave me some slices to give to my husband who was waiting in the car! LOL Highly recommend Jessie

    my new blonde hair (Nov 2022)
    Angela M.

    Jessie is an absolute kind and accommodating professional!! She explains everything in the process, every step of the way so that you know exactly what is going on. She is extremely patient and sweet and I will definitely come back to her salon when I'm ready for another hair transformation!! I came in for a lightening process (level 1/2 to level 8/9) which we hoped would take the 4 hours I was scheduled for but we ran into some issues as I unknowingly had leftover dye still in my hair from previous at-home attempts to dye my hair (I genuinely thought it grew out/faded by this point ). My previous color was lifting patchy and not reacting to the bleach. Jessie kindly apologized as she thought I had virgin hair since it was so dark, but I realized I hadn't shared everything I've done to my hair with her beforehand. Nonetheless, Jessie was super upfront and let me know my options - to wash out the bleach and go back to dark, or continue the process and try to correct the color. Admittedly I was nervous at this point because it looked like I was not able to get close to the color I wanted. I decided to move forward with the bleaching and correction process and trust in Jessie. I AM SO GLAD I DID!!! My session lasted around 8 hours and I cannot stress how great Jessie was through the whole time. She made sure to keep updating me on the progress of my hair and we were able to lift my previous color to a level 7! We had to bleach my ends twice due to the patchy color but with a lot of waiting and toning, we were able to get to a blonde I am super super happy with! Jessie made sure to ask if I had any questions throughout the whole process, though I felt I never really had any as she lets you know exactly what's going on, the whole session. She also asked me if I wanted to stay blonde for a while and what my future color goals were, so I would know when to come back in for a touch up, and how to maintain my color to prep for a smoother transition when I'm ready to make a change. Jessie's amazing service and personality makes her someone I will continue to come back to for all my hair color needs!

    Amazing!!! No words do it justice!

She has done my nails a handful of times and always exceeded my expectations. She never gets polish on my cuticles and is a perfectionist when it comes to nail art. I've had the pleasure of woking with her during my engagement photo session and wedding last year. I can't believe how my hair and makeup stayed all day from SF at 8AM until 6pm in Las Vegas, where the shoot took place. (Check out some photos I addded.) I wish I could have taken her with me for touch ups, but it wasn't even necessary! I loved the natural looking false lashes she chose for me, They look amazing in person and in photos. Nancy was amazing on my wedding day. She came over super early in the morning and worked on 5 of my bridesmaids' hair, did my mom's makeup, and did my hair. (I had 3 different styles, by the way.. and she did her magic!) Overall, Nancy is really nice, talented and will not disappoint. I highy recommend her and will use her again in the future. Her prices are lower than most MUA/hair stylists I contacted.

Don't be fooled by her reviews because let me tell you, you will be like me and wait only to be disappointed. Shame on Nancy for not being a decent person to do business with. Ladies, you're better off going to a Russian or Ukrainian girl to do your nails as they would never just ghost you like this.
