sooooo long overdue, here it goes!! I found Krystelle through a few different connections, all of which I trusted so I eagerly booked my first appointment (this was back in 2021?) At the time her studio was just down the street from me in Walnut Creek. Little did I know that I would have amazing hair transformations time after time, AND a lightweight therapist LOL. Since then I've followed Krystelle to her salon(s) in Danville and will certainly continue to her new salon in Alamo. Why?? Well my hair in itself gets SO many compliments. But beyond looking fabulous, Krystelle is so patient and so kind. Sometimes I go in with specific and odd requests, sometimes I have no idea what I want and I just entrust her to do whatever. In either situation, she listens to my needs, my curiosities, all of my random thoughts. She is also an EDUCATOR. She takes the time to tell me why certain things could work/ wouldn't work, and why. So I actually feel more informed about my hair and my hair decisions. I always look forward to those hours in her chair because SELF CARE is the best care and I always feel brought back to life in more ways than one! read more

This review is LONG overdue! I have been seeing Krystelle Rain regularly for 9 years now. I had previously tried to color and trim my own hair for years, and it was the color and consistency of straw. I was a bit embarrassed for a professional to see the dreadful state my hair was in, but Krystelle was warm and non-judgmental. I'm shy and have a lot of social anxiety, but immediately felt comfortable with her! Her expertise and knowledge were evident, and I felt confident that I was in capable hands. The color process was flawless. Krystelle carefully assessed my hair and recommended a base and highlights that perfectly suited my skin tone. The end result was beyond my expectations! The color was vibrant, beautifully blended, and looked incredibly natural. Ever since, she has never failed to amaze me. I have very fine, prematurely grey hair that is so unmanageable. Every month Krystelle works her magic, and makes me look younger, polished and just much better overall! My hair used to be the bane of my existence, and now I get SO many compliments on how good it looks! Twice in those 9 years I ended up seeing other stylists (Krystelle was on maternity leave) and I was SO disappointed with the results. I don't think I can ever see another another stylist again! For anyone in search of the best hair stylist and colorist, I wholeheartedly Krystelle. Her talent, creativity, and friendly demeanor make for an unforgettable salon experience. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! read more

Gina has been doing my hair for the last few years and she is incredible. I love the vibe her and Krystelle bring to their salon. It's beautiful, clean, and sleek. Whenever I am there, it is always excellent service plus great conversation. Highly recommend. read more

I've been coming to Krystelle for 3 years now. She's helped me go blonde, pink and back to brown then blonde again! She's kept my hair healthy throughout the whole process. She's great at educating on keeping your hair healthy and how to best maintain it in between appointments. I'll follow her to any salon, she's worth it! read more

I have been struggling to find someone closer to home who can give my hair the usual treatment and care that my current stylist provides however the drive across the bay to the Peninsula was becoming too much of a hardship for me. Sitting in someone's chair for 4 hours plus a 3 hour commute was becoming a bit difficult which was prolonging my appointments and creating avoidance! This all resulted in my hair not looking it's best. After months and months of searching I decided to give Krystelle a try. This was after weeks of following her Instagram page and seeing her work. Before my first appointment, we set up a consultation, we discussed my desired look and she offered solutions. I am happy to report that after taking the test plunge, I walked out feeling like a new woman! She is a true professional, a perfectionist and lastly, a phenomenal hair artist. I am over there moon with my hair transformation! read more

Cannot thank Krystelle enough for fixing my hair. I began with uneven hair from last hair cut and everyday was a challenge. When I looked at the mirror everyday I always felt there was something wrong but I just can't tell what. It's all because of my layers was not even and it's hard for me to style my hair everyday. I know I need a hair cut so I started reading yelp and found Krystelle with excellent reviews. I have a few bad experience in the past with other salon and I m skeptical for new place. Luckily I found Krystelle. I made a last minute calls and thanks Krystelle fit me into a slot to have my hair cut the next day. My hair looks beauty again! Thank you so much! I made another appointment for color my hair soon. I can't wait for new hair color! Will keep you guys post!!!! Krystella was always fully booked so make an appointment early! Another great visit before Xmas to have my hair done with Krystelle! read more

Ellemod - Balayage and haircut by Krystelle - Hair Stylists Near Me - Alamo, California

This was my first ever real salon experience and it was amazing. She gave me exactly what I wanted. It has been 4 months since I got my balayage and it still looks great. It turned out even better than I expected. She was so kind and fun to talk to and had snacks and drinks. I definitely recommend! read more

I am going to miss seeing Krystelle so much! I had really hoped after such a crazy year that I would get a chance to see her one last time before our move to Florida, sadly we moved while the COVID shutdown was still happening. Krystelle is such a fantastic stylist. She always took her time to get my cut just how I wanted it, and always exceeded my expectations. I have yet to find anyone here in Florida who can do what she does. She is just the best!! Thanks for everything Krystelle! read more

I haven't had the best of luck with hair stylists since moving to the Bay Area four years ago, but I'm so glad that I found her! She completely fixed everything- from cut to color on my nearly waist length hair. Hair went from fried, stripy, uneven to a perfect melt with multidimensional color. Highly recommend! read more

Thank goodness I found Krystelle bc she was my last piece of hope and alas- she delivered gold. She listened to everything I needed and desired, kept it honest and gentle on my hair. And on top of that- she worked fast and my hair turned out BEAUTIFUL and she def is affordable. Since I've moved to the bay I have had THREE tragedies happen to my hair. Three different stylists too. All ranging from word of mouth to Instagram influencers. Eye roll. First gal burned ALL of my hair off- I have a lot of hair almost in comparison to shakira - so you know how devastating that ish was Second gal gave me folluculitis - look this up. this means their tools were unsanitary. Beware. Third gal - I had a severe allergic reaction to her ultra lightening bleach. So she ended up putting the ugliest color brown over it. Omg. Back to Krystelle, I wish I would have found her as my first stylist - that way I didn't have to deal with the other bulls*** but I found her now and my soul is most definitely confident that she will fix this quickly. Thank you so much friend! You're amazing! read more

I've been seeing Krystelle for over a year now and I can honestly say for as long as we both live in the area I will continue to drive over an hour to come see her! The ONE time I cheated on her my hair turned green and it took us MONTHS to fix. NEVER AGAIN! Krystelle genuinely cares about all of her clients, and cares about getting you the results you want. She's also up front and honest. She will let you know if what you're asking for isn't possible in one session, but will work with you to get to your goals and ensure you look good every step of the way. read more

Wish I had seen the deal for cut and highlights, but I saw a cut and conditioning coupon online and that was a terrific deal for $30 - especially because Krystelle did an excellent job! I've loved my cut all week, and especially when I went to style my hair on my own. Her layers fall in the right places, giving my hair the most volume. Krystelle was really friendly during my visit to Hair at the Ritz. We chatted while she gave me an amazing shampoo/conditioning, and all through the cut. She spent a long time blow drying my hair and I finally understood why there are blow dry only salons. Her hair blow drying skills are amazing - I guess you'd have to experience a really awesome blow dry styling to get it. She seriously styled my hair with just a brush and hot air. I mentioned that I want brighter highlights when summer comes around, and she told me this is her favorite thing to do. Good to know! Based on the cut she gave me, I'd trust her to do a fabulous job with the highlights too. read more

Got a Groupon for cut and full highlights with Krystelle, I absolutely love how my hair turned out! I paid extra for her to color my roots ($65) since they were really outgrown, and she was able to match the color, no problem. It's hard for me to explain how I want my hair exactly but she was able to figure it out. I made an appointment to see her again (it took about a month wait to get the first appointment) and I absolutely recommend her! read more

Ellemod - Before & after, long to short haircut. Krystelle did an awesome job!! Oh & she also did my highlights (previous time). - Hair Stylists Near Me - Alamo, California

In one word: UNBELIEVABLE! I was in desperate need of a skillful colorist and stylist and we all know how important it is to find someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to color. I turned to Yelp, saw the before and after photos and was willing to give her a shot. GREATEST DECISION. After trying 4 other people I FINALLY FOUND A STYLIST!!! Positives: - Krystelle is crazy crazy knowledgable about hair. I've had my crazy cat like, wavy thick hair my whole life and still can't tame it. She totally understood all of my complaints and concerns. - Honest! Gives great suggestions what would, could and will look good on my hair - Super sweet! We had a great time yapping away as we were doing my hair. I had really missed that with the other stylists. - Goes above and beyond to make sure I walked out of the salon happy (BUT DO NOT ABUSE THIS SWEET GIRL!!) Negatives: - none! I've done the Brazilian Blowout twice, Japanese straightening perm and colored it I dont know how many times but my hair came out of the salon feeling soft and sexy. I'm planning on a KENRA straightening treatment the next time I come back.Can't wait. BOOK YOUR APPT TODAY. You can thank me later :) read more

I found Krystelle by Amazon local, but even her regular prices are reasonable. She is very nice, listened to my needs and made great recommendations. She made made me look great! read more

Thank the Lord for this gifted young talent! She's got incredible skills and has blessed my hair with more than a miracle and has brought it back from the dead. Walked into the new Phenix suites and found my new hair stylist for life! Krystelle Rain beamed me all the way up. Salon space was impeccably clean and had a great product selection. I can't even stress how dry and brittle my hair was, she did a shampoo, deep condition, and blow out all in my lunch break and styled my hair beautifully. She is in point!! Local gem found in Walnut Creek, a short 2 minute walk from the pleasant hill Bart station with great free public parking. Love this woman!! read more

Love! Darkened my roots and revived the pink. Looks amazing and will fade beautifully. Thank you! read more

Krystelle is amazing at what she does and such a sweet person. I spent years getting bad hair cuts and having hair stylists make me feel bad about my damaged hair so was amazed to have someone actually do what I asked for in a haircut and without the hair shaming! Krystelle's balayage's are gorgeous and I admire her technique whenever I look in the mirror. Thanks Krystelle! read more

Nothing but amazing work from Krystelle! I can honestly say that she's the only one I trust with my hair. Every time I get a haircut, she nails it. She totally understands what I need every time I go in. From coloring to cutting--she's got it! I'll be recommending her to everyone! read more

Went to Krystelle for highlights, and she did such a fantastic job. I LOVE it, she is professional and when she is working you can tell she is putting all her effort into it. Its not like other salons I have been to where its rushed because the next client was booked too close. Her full attention was on my hair, and it felt great. Also no pressure to spark conversation all the time, you can just relax while she works her magic. She took me from a medium brown to a beautiful blonde, and the best part is I cant detect any damage..my hair is still easy to comb through, no frizz, and no breakage. I HIGHLY recommend her, and will be doing my bridal makeup trial with her seeing as her makeup was just crazy on point when she did my hair tonight :) read more

Krystelle was wonderful she is very sweet, really knows her stuff and went the extra mile to accomodate me before my party.

Krystelle is one of the most talented stylists that I have ever met. She has consistently provided excellent color and and skilled haircuts. I trust her and will continue going to her for all of my style and makeup needs. read more

My experience with Krystelle was so wonderful, I made a yelp account just to give her the review she deserves, and for my way of thanking her for the awesome service I received! I came into her salon, as nervous as any other girl is before getting their hair done. However, I left with a huge smile on my face and my confidence level at it's all time high. It was my first time dyeing my hair, so you know I was nervous. My natural hair color is black and I went to a light brown, with blonde highlights. It was definitely a long process, as I have thick and long hair, but Krystelle was very patient! You could not only tell how much she loved what she does, but you could tell that she does it well! I also received a trim, which I usually cry about after, but Krystelle made me love every part about it. Oh my gosh, I could go on and on about her, but I'll leave it at this- Krystelle is the go to girl, she will not disappoint! Even if the drive is far from my place to her salon, I absolutely think it's worth it! Thank you, Krystelle! Definitely coming back and telling all my friends about you! read more
