She is so talented and does a great job w/my thinning, barely there hair. She is fun, creative and we all love sitting in her chair and yakking.

She arrived before time and exceeded all my expectations. I couldn't have asked for a better look. We had discussed everything in the trial and she had her notes so the process was very easy and simple on the day off. I've already booked her for my wedding! Can't wait to get dolled up again!! Highly recommend her.

- Extremely Poor Customer Service…read more I am very disappointed with my experience at Threads Beauty Bar. I called Priti (P-R-I-T-I) the receptionist at 1:00 PM to ask if the threading specialist I like was available. She told me yes, the specialist was available today and also tomorrow. I explained that I live an hour and a half away and specifically drive out for this particular service provider because she does great work. Priti said that was fine and told me there were no appointments scheduled, so I could come in anytime. At 2:35 PM, I called back to confirm that I would be coming and asked if there was an appointment available. She said they had an opening at 3:15 PM. I said that would work. She then abruptly hung up without taking my name or confirming anything. When I arrived and parked, I called back because I realized she had never taken my name to hold the 3:15 appointment. I had my seven-year-old daughter with me, who is sick, so I wanted to be sure the appointment was secured before bringing her inside. Priti told me she could not put my name down unless I physically came into the salon. I did not understand why my name could not simply be written down over the phone, especially since she was the one who hung up without confirming details. Then she started to say, show me your car .. I will come out to see you in your car so I know you are here. I got frustrated because why would I want anyone to see my car when I'm trying to give her my name for the appointment?! She said she doesn't believe me that I'm here and calling to put my name on the time, I was so confused! The situation escalated unnecessarily. Instead of resolving it professionally, she involved someone named Neil, who told me they would not service me and that I had to leave. For someone who drives 1.5-2 hours specifically for their services, this level of rudeness and lack of professionalism is unacceptable. Clear communication and basic courtesy would have prevented this entire situation. Unfortunately, due to the poor and dismissive customer service, I will not be returning. I will also report this to the business bureau.

Highly recommend Christi for a great haircut!!! Got exactly what I wanted. Will visit again.read more

I have been going to Christie for 3 years and she is absolutely amazing. I come in with a picture…read moreof what I want, and she nails it every single time. From hair cuts, to highlights, to all over color, the final result is always exactly what I want. One thing that separates her from other stylists I've been to is she actually listens to what her clients ask for and gives them what they want. I've never had so many people stop me and ask where I get my hair done until I started going to her. On top of that, she's so sweet and personable. I highly, highly recommend Christie to anyone looking for a new stylist (or to change their current one of they are unhappy).

Christine and her team are absolute stars!

Their work is extraordinary and will make any bride feeling confident for their big day.

Tham did my hair a few months ago- and when I say she did my hair, I mean she color corrected it, gave my hair dimension, cut and styled it and all together gave my hair the life it deserved after my years of abuse. Last week when I was due for a touch-up, I decided to give her a small heart attack and ask her if it was possible for me to go lighter. Tham worked her magic in ONE SESSION. I drove home and almost died a few times because I could not stop looking at the mirror at how amazing my hair looked! I LOVE LOVE LOVVVVVVEEEE my hair so much! It did take a few (like almost 8) hours but time flew because Tham was so easy and fun to talk to. I felt the same vibe when I got make hair done by Christine for my brother's wedding. This team is super sweet, caring, talented, and they make sure you are happy leaving their chair while making sure the health of your hair isn't compromised. Congrats Christine and Team Bridal Beauty for opening a new location!

I had an appointment with Kate yesterday, and she did an awesome job!…read more The salon itself is cute, not ultra trendy and over the top - more of a homey type feel in downtown Livermore. The last time I got my hair cut, I went to a random person at Ulta because I was in a rush and getting out of town the next day and just needed a quick cut. As we started chatting, I quickly found out that this stylist had recently broke up with her bf - and she was wildly talking about the drama. Each chop of the scissors represented her hatred for that man - she ruined my hair like she was Edward scissor hands! It's been over 6 months since I've had my haircut due to needing to let it grow out. Needless to say I was nervous to have a new person style my hair again, but I've recently moved to California and needed a new stylist anyway. Kate listened to what happened last time (because as she looked at my hair she could tell how choppy and uneven the previous stylist had left my hair). She also listened to what I wanted in regards to color and did her best to execute it. When it came time to trim my hair, she was very quiet and concentrated on what she was doing - which I totally appreciate after the past trauma of the crazy drama stylist! I'm totally happy with how the partial color and trim turned out and will definitely return. Thank you, Kate!

I have been looking for someone like Kate for literally 10 years and I am beyond thankful for her and her expertise! Thank you Kate for fixing my hair and making me feel so beautiful again !!!

I came by for a long cut ($45) and a balayage.l ($160+) with Roxanne…read more I initially tried to call to book an appointment, but since there was no answer. It would probably be best for you have to book online, unless you leave a voice message and wait for a return call. I arrived a bit early (1:45 pm). The hair stylist, Roxanne arrived at 1:50 pm. As a side note, this is a facility located inside"Sola Salon Studios" and it was easy to find once you walk inside. (It's the first studio on the left of the main entrance). Price: I was quoted right away. My quote was for $310-$370 depending on how much product would be used. My total ended up being $360. Service: Roxanne was great. She was friendly and a pleasure to be around. Finished look- I loved it! I haven't had a cut and color since before covid so it was fine for a new look! Roxanne and I decide to go for a subtle balayage as well as take off inches (a whole bunch) off for a fresh, healthy, look. I left with my hair feeling so soft and healthier than it's been in years! I'll definitely be back for some extensions and services in the near future. Thank you!

I didn't want to spend too much $$ and continue highlighting her hair as she's still in high school and not working. We had highlighted it over the summer as an reward for good grades. This time it was just to fix the "temp pink dye". Our quote was $300 because Lila thought after lifting the pink out she would have to low light it to help it grow out nicely. I was reluctant but gave in. Luckily Lila was able to lift the color out easily and didn't need to low light the hair. She saved me $$. I appreciate that she didn't automatically low light her hair as I wasn't there at the salon and she had the 2 hours scheduled out for both procedures. My daughter loved the results and I loved how honest and helpful Lila was. I'll be back again!

I tried several other salons in Pleasanton before I found Kelly. Unlike the other places, Kelly…read morecarefully listened to me, looked at the inspiration photos (of various long bobs) that I brought, and we talked about how my very thin, fine hair would do with each of the possible styles. She was the only person who actually listened to me, and the only person who seemed to understand that you can't do a lot of layering with very thin hair. After she cut my hair and blew it dry, she asked me to take a look, and then offered to take a little more off the back. I could see that her next client had arrived, but she took an extra few minutes on me to make the cut perfect. I really appreciate her attention to detail. And I could see that the next client didn't mind waiting 5 minutes: probably because she knew that Kelly was going to make her hair look perfect too. The cut was $45, which I think is quite reasonable. For me, the true test of any haircut is how it looks after a shower, when I've had the chance to style it myself. This cut looked great, even after my novice blow-drying. I will be back.
