Diana has been my hair stylist since I moved to the Bay Area. It took me 4 years of living here to find someone I could trust with my hair. I cheated on her once, and let's just say I instantly regretted that decision Besides being a fabulous stylist, she's an awesome person and so fun to talk to. She carries quality products in her salon, but never pressures you to purchase anything. There's a reason why she's always booked! Tip: get on her waitlist and you may be able to hop on schedule! read more

Diana is the BEST!! She really made my vision into a reality. Not only she knows what she's doing, but she's also easy to talk to and is fun being around with! The whole time she was doing my hair it feels like we're two friends catching up. Thank you for my hair!! I love it so much! read more

Diana Antes Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Always an amazing experience and transformation each time I see Diana! Thank you for your expertise and expertise and dedication to your hair magic! Your beautiful location is a joy to visit as well! Love that you can help my untamed hair be healthier and manageable and those pesky greys hidden. Thank you Diana you are amazing!! read more

I can't even begin to describe how amazing and meticulous Diana is! This was my fourth time going to Diana for balayage (more like "foilyage," a hybrid technique between balayage and highlights to get a lighter color.) It always comes out so gorgeous and natural. She was the first person to ever color my hair. I used to be nervous that it would look fake or "ruin" my natural highlights. Instead it's like an enhanced version of the perfect dream hair I imagine myself having. I typically go once a year to brighten up before summer. Even as it grows out, it looks super natural and doesn't need a touch-up. This time I hadn't had a hair appointment in over a year! You can see the uneven self-haircut in the "before" photo. I decided to have her do both the haircut and color. She did an incredible job with the cut -- exactly what I wanted. It can be scary to get a haircut from someone new, but I fully trust Diana when it comes to making my hair look flawless. I should also mention that she is clearly taking every precaution when it comes to COVID-19 safety and sanitization processes. Oh, and she is really sweet and fun to chat with. The time always flies so fast when I'm there! read more

Diana Antes Studio - Before and after cut and balayage - Hair Salons Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I really like going to Diana. She's done my hair twice and each time has been a great experience. She's very personable and realistic about what can be done while still maintaining the healthiness of your hair. If there's a risk of too much damage, she will inform you and offer alternatives or multiple sessions depending on what you want. I highly recommend going to her. Be sure to have photo examples on hand and she'll work her magic! read more

Diana is very knowledgeable in her field. I have gone to her twice and I'm very pleased with the result. She did an excellent job on my haircut. I just showed her the picture of what I wanted my hair to be, and she did exactly like it. I'm very happy and my hair looks beautiful. Diana is highly recommended. read more

I'm a mom of 3 that doesn't have that much time to keep my hair on point. I visited Diana twice, both times she revived my hair. The first​ picture, I decided on doing a trim and a hair treatment. I wanted to keep my blonde highlights so she recommended to just tone my hair to bring the color back to life, rather than having it orange and brassy. About a year after, I went back to Diana, to get a trim and to go back to a darker brown, for a fall look. I have also included that picture. I would defiantly​ recommend​ you going to her!!!! Very professional! She does what you actually ask for and also gives tips and recommendations. She keeps you entertained while she does her magic! She provides beverages​ and snacks. She's gentle during hair washes and is very considerate with the temperature​ of the water. She will ask you a few times if the temperature​ ok. Last, but not least, her chair is super comfortable. read more

I couldn't be happier with my new, fresh colored cut! Diana is fantastic, knowledgeable and excellent at putting new clients at ease! Honestly just check out the photos to see exactly how much magic she can work! I came to Diana knowing that I wanted to thin out my hair and refresh my color for spring, but not really knowing the exact color I wanted or whether I wanted to chop my hair back into a short bob or keep it long-ish still. Diana had so much patience and I had a perfect cut and color at the end of my visit - she really listens to what you want (even if you're completely unsure) and is able to give expert advice to guide you along your hair journey! This was probably the most thorough highlight and babylight color I've ever gotten - so much beautiful color from every angle, she even asked me if I wear my hair in a ponytail, so she could make sure to give those areas extra love - so my hair would look good up or down - it's the details! I will definitely be returning, this was a wonderful first visit and I'd highly recommend Diana if you're looking for someone who will do everything with precision and care - along with perfect "chair-side" manner! I can tell Diana takes time and patience to get to know all of her clients - her attention to detail is nothing short of amazing and she works so hard to make sure you're happy with your look! Thank you for the amazing hair transformation! read more

See all

Diana is a talented and caring stylist who takes the time to listen to what her clients want. Diana has been coloring my hair for the past 5+ years. I originally came to her with my formula, but we have tweaked it over time. Each time, Diana listens to what I want and we work together to create the right effect. I trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a creative and collaborative stylist! read more

I have been getting my hair cut and colored by Nicolette at Diana's studio and she does amazing work. She is very meticulous in her work, the cut and color are always perfect and I always walk out feeling like a million bucks. Definitely recommend. read more

I've been seeing Diana for a little over a year now. And my hair looks amazing, thanks to her! Diana is very patient and makes sure that I am happy with my hair every visit! She has cut, colored and highlighted my hair. And every time I see her, I feel confident that I will be leaving her salon feeling happy! I love how she blow dries and styles my hair as well! She makes it look so easy to do, but it takes me close to 2 hours to do what she does in 30 min! She's also decorated her little salon soo pretty with green plants and I love that. Her space is always very clean and organized. And she makes sure of that! I recently saw her after not seeing her since January, bc of the Shutdown. So it was a long 6 months for my hair and I needed a trim and color desperately! I was lucky enough that she took me in, when she was only open for 1 day! Diana definitely has taken the time to prepare and educate herself on all the necessary rules for Salon Stylists. I felt completely safe being in her chair, with my little mask on. I also love how Diana continues to take classes and keeps herself up to date with the recent hair trends! Diana is the sweetest and i love going to see her! read more

So, I haven't dyed my hair or gotten a haircut since last Christmas, it was past my shoulders and the "purple" (or pretty much blurple that didn't show up a few months later)I was faded.. I heard great experiences and seen beautiful hair done by Diana, so you should know how excited I am to finally get my hair done before a big event this weekend! Going in, the studio is very clean, bright, and lovely. You can already tell Diana has your best interest in mind when it comes to what you want. What I absolutely loved that I unfortunately don't get anywhere else is that, she actually explains why a certain hair color you're debating on getting may not be the best long-term. I usually get "No, that doesn't look good" from others, but they never explain why. I trust her with my hair and I'm totally happy with the way the purple came out! Adding the asymmetrical look to my A-line cut at the end was such a wonderful idea. She's a great conversationalist, gets the cut and color beautifully done, and I can't wait to get it done again by her in the future! read more

Diana has been doing my hair for almost 20 years, and she consistently exceeds my expectations. I switched to Diana because I felt that my previous stylist had stopped listening to me and went on auto-pilot with my highlights and haircuts. Diana has always been the exact opposite. She's approachable and she listens and she communicates really well about what will work and what won't. She's continues to upgrade her skills with classes and conferences through the year. Moreover, she will do her very best to fit you into a last minute schedule or work with you on touch-ups. Seriously, she's the best! read more

I have been going to Diana for several years now and I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else. She is the color and cut goddess! Diana took me from dark chocolate brown to nearly blonde over the course of a few years, protecting my hair all along the way. She is a true artist who can do anything you like - highlights, balayage, baby lights, full color, coverage, blending - Diana does it all! I also see Diana for my keratin express treatments to keep my hair silky while being color-treated, as well as my cuts. I love going to her studio - it's so cute and comfortable! The attention is ALL on you, and Diana has a basket of snacks and a fridge full of drinks (hello wine o'clock!) to keep you hydrated and full while you're in her capable hands. Plus, she always has the latest US Weekly and a bowl of chocolates within reach. Thank you Diana!! read more

Diana is AMAZING, both as my hair stylist and as a human being! She's realistic with what can be done to my hair to keep it the healthiest as possible. But also if your hair is able to, she can work magic on your hair she's always made my hair looks so good, day of and when it fades too! I swear I get compliments all the time whether it's fresh or faded! Thank you so much Diana for being my go-to! read more

Diana is the consummate professional. She is a practiced expert with an artist's eye and a soft, reassuring touch. She is really fun to talk with during our long foiling sessions and I completely recommend her to everyone who wants professionally done, artistically appearing hair coloring and exacting hair cuts done. She takes her time in her extremely comfortable, immaculate and beautiful studio. read more

Diana is exceptional! I started seeing Diana a year ago for balayage on my long dark brown hair. I've never received so many compliments on my hair after she worked her magic. She is extremely talented and a true balayage expert. It is so nice to be able to trust someone 100% with your hair! read more

I am the only person that I know who has been with the same hairstylist for over 15 years. That alone is the truest testament to Diana's amazing talent. I consistently receive compliments from friends, family, and random passersby, on the cut and color of my hair. One time, I was stopped by a woman in line at Starbucks who asked if she could take a picture of my hair because her daughter wanted her hair colored exactly like mine - I said "Yes, of course!" then handed her one of Diana's cards. What I love most about Diana is that she has an incredible ability to take what I ask for and deliver an enhanced version of what I want - each and every session. Her dedication to honing her craft is truly inspiring. Over the years, I watched her find time that she does not have to travel and attend classes taught by industry giants and continue to challenge herself by taking on projects and events to stay on the cutting edge. Diana is so consistently good at what she does, during the year that I lived out in the east bay, I was willing to drive over two hours for an appointment with her. She recently started her own studio in Sunnyvale and I could not be happier and more excited for her. As I am sitting here writing this review for Diana's new location, I actually have an appointment with her tomorrow - I can't wait to sit in her chair in her beautiful space and relax and know with certainty that I will be leaving the session feeling stronger, better, and with fabulous hair. read more

I have been going to Diana for years and love the amazing transformation she performs on my otherwise unruly head of hair! This professional knows her stuff, from color, to cuts, keratin, deep conditioning to product. Whew! Love her! And one of the funniest and caring people too! Book a time with her as she fills up fast and for good reason! read more

I've know Diana Antes for over 4 years and she does such a wonderful job on my color! Every single time I watch a client leave her chair they ALL look amazing! I'm sure this is because she is passionate and follows all the current trends. She often flys to LA to take all of the latest education offered at salons that cater to celebrities. WOW, that is Dedication and I can appreciate that! I currently drive from Oakland to have her color my hair and she is worth it!! My hair grows out seamlessly and so I only have to schedule appointments with her 2-3 times a year, I still book ahead because she is a popular girl and books up fast! read more

I'm writing an update because of the ridiculously subpar service I received. Diana called me the morning after my cancellation & Yelp review to go over it and I told her that I didn't feel comfortable committing to the appointment without seeing pictures of her work and feeling as though she understood what I wanted. She told me she would be more than happy to send me pictures to my email of her previous work. I hadn't received anything that evening so I called the salon and asked for Diana. After asking for my name, the girl who picked up told me Diana was now "busy" and would contact me later. The next day, Diana responded to my email telling me with a lengthy description of the-hair-that-could-have-been and that she changed her mind, saying she felt "it would be best if we parted ways." No apology, no headsup before my call to let me know she changed her mind, just a huge essay on her self-confidence and self-proclaimed skills and how I was missing out on great hair. I wasn't looking for a refund. I wasn't looking for a free handout. I was looking for reassurance and previous work and a hair color that looked like it actually changed. Sorry you felt like the customer was wrong. It's a shame because the salon is close-by and has wonderful reviews and now I feel as though I can't step in there because Diana's policy seems to be the stylist - not the customer - is always right. Re: update. She edited out the nasty parts of that email. Nice. read more

I LOVE Diana!!!! I have NEVER received a better haircut from anyone, which is why I followed her from 2 other salons and get my haircut from her whenever I am back in the area. Ever since I can remember getting haircuts, I was never really impressed by anything I received, I just sort of "lived" with them... until I met Diana. I remember thinking the first time I got my haircut by her, I just LOVED it. I had to get a desperately needed cut down in LA and didn't have time to come back up north and even the lady cutting my hair in that salon complimented how well the layers were cut from before. Go Diana! :) Not only does Diana have a vast amount of knowledge of styling and cutting hair, but she is a tremendously talented make-up artist as well. She is meticulous and precise about every strand she touches, and won't let you get up until you are satisfied. I've never had anyone spend 15 minutes blow drying my hair (I have a lot of hair) and THEN go through and spend another 15 minutes cutting all the dry hair. She also cuts the best bangs. I do not let ANYONE else touch my bangs. The other thing is, you know how every time you leave the salon, your hair looks amazing and then it NEVER looks like that again after you shower? Well, Diana will definitely have you leaving the salon looking and feeling amazing, but she is also willing to explain everything she is using on your hair, what size brushes, products, where to buy them, etc. So yes, ladies, you CAN re-create the look. Just ask Diana how to do it! Even if you can't re-create it exactly (or you don't have the time to), if you just explain to Diana that you're low-maintenance (as I am), then I bet you will find that a little blow-dry after your shower will STILL leave your hair looking fabulous (thanks to Diana)! All in all, Diana does everything with a lot of confidence, which also makes me feel great because I can literally just sit there and let her do her thing, and I know the end-product will look amazing w/o even needing to look up. Every friend I've recommended to Diana also loves her. Definitely go see Diana and I bet you will feel the same! :) read more

I heart Diana! I have been getting my hair done by her for several years now and have followed her to different salons. She is super cool to talk to and totally gets the hair style I'm looking for. I am not the best at describing hair do's but she can always make sense of what I'm saying. I have recommended her to a few friends and they have loved her too. She also offers a discount for referrals. Diana rocks! read more

I don't know why it's taken me so long to write a review for Diana. Maybe I didn't want my secret to get out :) Diana has been cutting my hair for nearly 10 years now and I have followed her throughout the Peninsula wherever she goes. I don't get my hair cut often, maybe 3 times a year. A sign of a good haircut is how it grows out and I can wait it out 4, one time 5 months. Diana doesn't rest on her laurels. She continues to learn about what is new in the industry by attending Vidal Sasoon classes throughout the country and watches for new trends by working at NY Fashion Week. Diana is a true gem! read more

I love Diana! I had known her for several years before I finally went to her for a hair appointment. I was able to have one of her rare appointments on the single day that Santa Clara County hair salons were permitted to operate since the initial shelter in place was announced. Her salon was bright, clean, professional. She was prepared with all of the appropriate COVID cleaning and safety measures. And best of all she of course gave me exactly the trim and style that I needed. THANK YOU!! read more

Diana is both fun and serious as a stylist; sometimes I might want a little fun and other times I need my serious haircut for job interviews and such... Over the years I've followed Diana (like many others!) through 4 different salons and will continue to stick with her. If you are looking for a great Men's haircut, come by and see her or gert in the LONG line on Saturday for a haircut. And I might see you there some Saturday morning. Please tell her you read this on Yelp! read more

Diana is amazing. She is exceptional at what she does! I have gotten other color and cut and have loved the services she provides. She doesn't rush and she gets it right. I always feel relaxed when I'm in her studio and she is easy to chat with! I have zero complaints and would highly recommend! She is one of the nicest people I have ever met and the upmost professional as well! read more

Can we talk about postpartum hair? Why? Because no one really talks about your hair falling out after baby is born. No one talks about the amount of hair falling out and from where on your head! But here I was 2 years ago after having the most luxuriating hair experience during my pregnancy to having a receding hairline (and unbeknownst to me a receding hairline on the back of my head!) to having the strangest hair regrowth! And when you're a new mom, you're the last one to practice self-care. I was in need of a haircut-- badly. Enter Diana. First, the appointment process was super easy! You can see what times are available and book your appt yourself. The reminder email is ultra helpful too to remind me of my appt, but who am I kidding? I was excited for my haircut! Diana listened to my concerns and we talked about what I wanted and what was gonna happen. Her execution was flawless and she's a perfectionist!!! If you're looking for someone who knows what they're doing, has the experience to back it up and provides the best service, book your next appointment with Diana!! End result? An updated, new look that made a Mom who is too busy chasing a toddler feel like a new person-- actually, more like her old self. And it feels amazing. Side note: we've talked color. And judging by her IG posts, she's an expert in color too! (In case you're interested: @dianaanteshair) read more

Diana is fantastic. I've been her client for a couple years and I couldn't be happier. She always respects my requests, and she somehow manages to be accurate with scissors while simultaneously entertaining me. I highly recommend her. read more

Awesome place, Great haircuts, great service, and I love the complimentary refreshments. 11/10 would recommend. #DianaAntesHair

I've been going to Diana religiously for more than 5 years. She's consistent, talented, and fun. She always does an awesome job. When I was getting married she made my hair look great without looking like it had just been cut. When I say I want a style change but don't know exactly what, she changes my style and makes me look better! My only complaint is that she doesn't have mobile service! read more

DIANA IS THE BEST!!! She has been coloring my hair for 8 years and I always love it! I have naturally dark brown hair with some grey. She has given me so many different looks over the years and they all have been amazing. From natural looking highlights, balayage, to Unicorn purple and blue, I always get a ton of compliments. The best thing is, she always listens to my needs and wants, but is honest with me if she thinks what I want isn't going to work. My hair is always healthy and shiny and the grow out process is never terrible thanks to her skill and incredible technique. I won't let anyone else do my haircolor! I love her new studio space, it feels so cozy and is conveniently located. read more

This was my first time here. My hair was raggedy and gross before and Diana somehow fixed it. This has never happened before at other salons. What is this magic? read more

I've been with Diana from the beginning and she's only continued to evolve into her talents. Love that she's always taking classes and growing her techniques (hello "baby lights"). I'm so happy I can see her now at her extension and very own studio space at Sola Salon in Sunnyvale because she's practically my neighbor! Really dig her intimate studio, the calm of it after a work day and that she carries Kevin Murphy products! Looking forward to seeing her in a month again and hearing all about what she learned from her recent LA class! read more

I never leave yelp reviews, but I absolutely have to for Diana. Not only is she an incredible human, but she's seriously a hair GODDESS! I've been seeing Diana for quite some time now, despite moving fairly far away. I've tried going to other stylists who are closer to me, but no one can even come close to how amazing Diana is, so I'll drive from anywhere to see her . I'm the type of person, who loves to change my hair up frequently and I always bring in new pictures and ideas to Diana to try. She not only matches the inspiration that I show her, but she makes it look even better!!! I've never left an appointment with her feeling just ok, I always look and feel fabulous. I seriously look forward to my time with her not just for a new do, but also just to hang! I really can't say enough good things about Diana, so if you're looking for the best hair experience possible, go see her now! read more

I'm a total fan of Diana. I have been literally following her around since I discovered how great she was at Julian Chase. Then she went to Salon Vie and now she's at Monica Foster. I was joking with her that maybe she will eventually work in San Jose and shorten my commute to see her! That's right, I drive up to Palo Alto just to see this talented stylist. I am a low maintenance type of gal and just need hair that I can control easily but I also don't want to look like a mop ... Diana understands this and does a meticulous job. I have been to other stylists and no one compares. She will first give you a wet cut and then blow dry nicely to see how it looks and then cut your hair again to ensure it looks beautiful. I am on a budget being a mom and all so I can't get regular haircuts like I would like (sniff, sniff) but here's another awesome thing about diana's haircuts - at least the ones she has given me - the hair grows out very nicely!!! so even if i don't have the time nor resources to come see her right away, i still look pretty good with a longer hairdo. how's that for "bang for your buck?" read more

Based on other reviews, it seems that Diana is a great hair stylist. However, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting or speaking with her. I've tried to schedule a makeup & hair appointment for a last minute engagement photo session on numerous occasions but to no avail. I called the salon where she works three times. First time, she wasn't there and they suggested calling back the next day. The second time, I left a message for her at the salon but did not receive a call back. The following day (third time) the receptionist provided Diana's personal email address. So I sent her an email. Luckily, Diana responded right away and let me know that she was unavailable. To be honest, I'm disappointed that she was unavailable on the date that I requested because I have heard really great things about her work. But the ratings for this review is based on the fact that it took me several tries to get in touch with her. What's the point of offering contact information on your website if you can't actually get in touch with the person? Second star is for the quick email response. read more

Diana has been coloring my hair for over 6 years and she is the most professional, kind and talented stylist I have ever gone to. I love my hair every time and she strives to make it better and goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend her new salon as well. She is personable, and now she is in Sunnyvale at a great location that is closer to my new house!! Go see her, she is amazing! read more

Diana has been doing my hair for years and she is great! Red hair dye can be tricky but I've had a great experience with Diana.

I was very pleased with the color that Diana chose to give me. I wished that I would never fade out! I would trust Diana to help me with any of my hair or even make-up needs. I plan on going back for her services in the future. Thank you so much! read more
