    Thank you Joy for doing such an amazing job on my goddess hippie faux locs. I drive all the way from Petaluma and it is always worth the trip. I will be relocating to Santa Clara next week, and yes, I will continue to have you as my braider. I don't mind the drive at all. Your name fits you perfectly because you are such a Joy to be around and your energy and attitude is always positive, and so are the ladies at the salon. I'm so happy I found this place.

    I wanted to get my 8 year old some box braids and one day happened to drive by. If you blink, you just might miss it as I missed seeing it being open for two months even though I pass by this plaza daily! I circled back around and popped in to inquire about services and pricing and the ladies here are sweet and welcoming. Maybe I just have a well behaved child but most salons are particular about servicing children, especially when they will need to sit still for 4-5 hours for a hairstyle like these braids. The woman who quoted me and booked my appointment also performed the service and she was so nice to my daughter. I really felt like I was hanging out at someone's house. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to get braids or twists of various styles they offer. *Bonus points for location...gas & food right inside the same plaza!

    Joy does such a good job at braiding hair! I got medium sized box braids and they look so good. I called her last minute hoping to get my hair done before work and she came in at 6pm and got me out by 9pm. Super clean parts, sweet demeanor, and awesome attitude. Pricing was really reasonable and her shop is close to the gas station. 10's across the board!!!!

    Being that this place is new however the ladies here have been doing hair for some time. The location is perfect for parking and has a lot of places to get a snack or something to eat if you wanted. And they're next to star bucks if your a coffee lover. I Love the way my hair has came out both times I've been here. My hair is never tight and she is very quick, for crochet I'm in and out 2 to 3hrs top. I also like that this place has other branders there too. And her prices are reasonable. Definitely give this place a try. I hope you have a good experience as I had. Thanks Joy!

    When I got out the shower and took all the braids out finally.

    My braider's dad past away so I decided to look for someone until my braider felt better to get back into her salon. Anyway the lady who braided my hair did a horrible job. I will just let the photos talk for me lol. Customer service was also horrible. They wanted me to pay $150 for their shitty work that took 2 hours lmao idk how it could take that long and look so bad. Crooked lines and a chunks of hairs sticking out of the braids. It was a cash only spot which they do not state that over the phone when I made an appointment or when I arrived. So I was going to go to the bank and I was going to be nice and just give $50 just for the ladies time which I did not need too. Before I went to the bank I went home since I was just down the block from my house. When I got home that's when I realized it was worse than I saw at the salon. I was very upset and I took the braids out in the shower and decided I was not going to go back or pay anything at all. I then called and told them I took the braids out and I will not pay because the braid work was beyond bad. The Nigerian lady then threatened me saying watch when I see you on the street and calling me a thief. I drove back to the salon to show her I took out the braids and to confront her about threatening me. I would just stay away from this place entirely. They are the real thief for doing bad work and not wanting to fix it when I asked and pointed out the flaws and charge me $150 for simple box braids lol. If I was a thief why would I go back to the salon show you I took them out or call you back and tell you I'm not paying and took them out. They are just greedy ratchet people who try and take advantage of kind people. Funny part is they tried to make their bad work was my fault saying my hair was to short and blunt, which is false because I get my hair done all the time and never have that issue I will also post a pic of my hair from my normal person it is a few days after being fresh braided but still looks a million times better. Also will post two pics with date and time to show I took them out immediately.

    New braids

    This place got me in last minute so I could look cute for my birthday! There was no discussion about changing the style I requested. Joy just got to work. She worked quickly and efficiently and even made me laugh. I'll definitely be back!

    They did amazing work

I told her exactly what I wanted, and she absolutely delivered. It has taken me forever and so much shopping around to finally find someone I trust with my hair, and I can confidently say I found my girl for life! She took her time, listened to exactly what I wanted, and made sure my layers blended beautifully without leaving my hair looking choppy, which is always my biggest fear. Thank you so much, Steph! I'm beyond happy with my hair and will 100% be coming back.

    This is for this specific location. I previously left a review about my experience with this salon,…read morebut that review is no longer posted, so I am sharing my experience again. My biggest issue continues to be the OWNER repeatedly canceling my appointments. This has happened more than once, and it is extremely frustrating and unprofessional. Customers arrange their schedules around appointments, and our time should be respected too. What makes this especially disappointing is that the cancellations are coming from the owner herself. As the owner of a business, I would expect you to set the example when it comes to reliability, communication, and customer service. If a customer repeatedly canceled appointments, I'm sure it would be considered unacceptable and they could potentially be charged a cancellation fee. So why should customers be expected to simply accept repeated cancellations from the business? I have tried to be patient, but there is only so much inconvenience a customer should have to tolerate. I am leaving this review because this was genuinely my experience, and other customers deserve to know what they may encounter when booking here.

It's been since (Covid) 2020 that I let my natural color grow out, I have a white streak of gray right in the front and it makes life interesting. I was hesitant to get it colored because I do love my grays but a girl might need a change. (Ugh, decisions, decisions) I texted Fernanda the day before about being torn between color or no color. I walked in around 1pm the next day, was quickly greeted by Fernanda and we chatted about my color. She told me she would prefer not to add highlights only because I'd go back to having to get it retouched every 6-8 weeks and because she loves the way my grays look. I was kinda relieved she told me cause we opted NOT to color it, that might change later on in the year but for now, I left it as is. Grateful she was interested in the care to my hair and not just out to make $. Which is why I keep going back, Fernanda cares about making sure I was happy with my decision. I got 3 inches chopped off and it feels amazing. I love it. Thank you The Room Hair (Fernanda)

    I got sick on the day of my appointment, but called ahead of time in the day to let them know I was…read moresick. They said they would charge me a cancellation fee even though I was sick. So I said I'd come in sick with a mask on to my appointment in order for them not to charge a cancellation fee. They said I couldn't come into my appointment either because I'm sick. So basically they won't let me go to my appointment, but they also won't waive the fee for keeping me out for being sick. Wtf? These people are seriously unprofessional and rude. Any other salon would've understood and simply waive the fee like a real business who treats their customers well. Not to mention my first experience there when the employees gossiped about other clientele the whole time to each other and then smile to your face as you fill their pockets, wtf was that about and why are they doing this in-front of customers in the chair?! I really tried to give this place another chance, I had hopes for this place based on reviews, I came to realize later a lot of those nice yelp reviews came from their friends, yes I can tell. There are definitely better salons out there that are authentic and courteous and I was lucky to find a better one with higher standards for how they run their business and treat people and been with them ever since. Happy to ditch the ritzy place, no room for the fake and greedy.

I'm not very familiar with beauty or skincare products, so I wasn't sure where to start. Jess was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly.

As a first-time customer, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. Thanks again to Jess for the outstanding customer service. I'll definitely be back the next time I need to shop for gifts.

No acknowledgment. Another stylist asked who I been waiting for and she let Maritza know. STILL NO ACKNOWLEDGMENT from Maritza. She was busy mixing color. That already had me question cuz my daughter only needed a haircut. Another person whose been waiting got up & said she was waiting for the same person. The person who politely helped us went to Maritza and then that stylist had BOTH OF US SIT right next to each other. No acknowledgement yet again. She proceeds to bring over 2 carts over. Looks like she was going to tend to both of us. Other person was getting color ' my daughter needed just a cut. She placed the towel on the other client. No acknowledgment still. I didn't feel my daughter should have her hair cut in a rush and trying to do someone else and yet we still haven't got a simple HELLO. I took my daughter and told her "We will not have her get her hair cut by her" and guess what.... She just said "Ok." Like she was relieved that she didn't have to do 2 os us. THANK YOU FOR BEING RUDE. This was our first experience here & definitely the last. Shortly after we left, I got a text saying our appt was canceled.
