I usually go to fusion 3 salon in Livermore but I went to Pleasanton this time and had a terrible experience! The manager luckily refunded my money because it was almost $200 for the balayage I wanted done! I wanted a balayage and showed the stylist the picture of the girls curly back hair And told her I wanted it like that picture. I also wanted to keep the roots dark. As you can see from the pictures it's nowhere near what I wanted and the stylist afterwards didn't even ask if I wanted it toned! The salon closed again cause of COVID so I had to redo it myself afterwards cause I was so embarrass of what it looked like. I didn't notice until I got home and closely looked in the mirror. read more

Fusion 3 Salon is wonderful- it's clean and comfortable inside, the staff that I've met are always friendly and kind, and the work they do is phenomenal! I drive all the way from Oakland to get my hair cut and colored by Amanda, and that's a big deal for someone who doesn't typically like long drives or leaving their house. My aesthetic taste is more than a little unconventional, but Amanda finds a way to perfectly and beautifully refine even my most out-there ideas of what I want my hair to look like. I've also seen her work on clients with more conventional tastes and it's all stunning and skillfully executed. I enthusiastically recommend Amanda and Fusion 3 to everyone! read more

I have been in and out of Fusion3 since around 2009. The gaps in visits have been due to either my stylist moving, I've moved out of town a couple times, or a friend or family member raves about a stylist I just need to try. I always come back to fusion3. Ive has great experiences with several stylists at Fusion3 but I've been coming to Olivia for around 3 years now. Even when I was living in San Luis Obispo I would plan to get my hair done by Olivia on visits to the Bay Area. Not only do I completely trust her with my hair she's really fun to visit with. She's genuine, a good listener and she puts her client's hair dreams first. She has a knack for understanding what I'm going for even when I don't have the slightest clue how to explain it. She's pretty amazing about that. I had a short lob when I moved back to the Bay in 2016 and she has been caring for my hair as I let it grow out. Ive had some stylists that made me feel insecure about the cuts I wanted. I tend to be kind of conservative abut my look. She never pressures me to do or try anything I'm not comfortable with and she's always super on board with whatever I want to achieve with my hair. She knows I want to play with color at some point but until I get there she's always been happy to just let me pick her brain about it. I adore Olivia. If you're looking for a stellar stylist book with her! She's at the Pleasanton location. read more

One of the best salon experiences I've had so far! A friend recommended this place (or any of the other 2 locations) and I was able to get in a last minute appointment for a cut and color. Rosie returned my call right away and she was very helpful in setting up my appointment. Melissa took care of me! I ended up getting a Balayage and cut (total $227). I was offered water and cookies (yummy), a neck wrap, and a scalp massage. Her price was more because she is at the expert level. You can pay less for a stylist who is just beginning their training program. I love the supportive atmosphere in this salon where everyone helps each other out and they made me feel very welcome since it was my first time. They also have a great referral system! I received a $10 certificate for my next visit, a $20 certificate for a friend that you refer, and I believe if you refer a friend you receive $20 yourself. They also have a whole line of Aveda and Davines products for purchase. Overall, my experience was wonderful and I will definitely be back. The price reflects the great job they do on your hair. If you're not willing to spend the money, you can expect less than mediocre results. In my experience, that's how it has always been. read more

I was given a gift certificate to Fusion 3 and decided to use it to get my hair styled for a wedding. My experience was absolutely wonderful! -Every member of the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. -The shoulder and hand massage felt amazing. -My hair looked awesome. -It only costs $22 when you choose a junior stylist.

I just moved to Livermore and was looking for a new salon/hairstylist. I looked up fusion 3 and decided to give them a try and I'm so glad I did! The staff is all so knowledgeable and welcoming. The complimentary hand and shoulder massage was amazing and so relaxing Jessica was so friendly and helpful, she gave me the exact color I was looking for. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I'm sad to say I've moved about 6 hours away from fusion 3. I recently had my roots done where I live now (I dye my hair blonde) and my hair is soo dry and frizzy now. I NEVER had this problem with fusion 3 products. Everything they use left my hair healthy and frizz free, no matter how much blonde I wanted. Everything from costumer service, quality of work, and products they use are 6 out of 5 stars (if not more). Many thanks to fusion 3 for keeping my hair exactly what I wanted it to be. I always felt confident when leaving your salon. I'm so sad to not have you close by:) read more

Just got my haircut & root touch up recently & first thing I said was "I LOVE MY HAIR!!!" Been going to professional salons all my life (just turned 50!) and I can honestly say that Fusion 3 Salon in Livermore is THE BEST place to be. You can expect Top notch professionalism from EVERYONE, as they are each individually talented & creative, and yet be treated with warmth and care (they give the best neck rubs & hand massages!) They also pamper you with coffee, tea & water & on occasion fresh baked cookies, although I wouldn't mind if they added wine to the list! Wink wink Special thanks to Maddie and Lindsay for giving me my new look and Justine, who has been doing my hair for years, and the rest of the ladies!! Sarah, thanks for the yoga advice. You all are so sweet and lovely people! read more

Me and my daughter had hair cut with Anna. She was very friendly and knowledge. ( I had hair cut and PHL+ Partial Highlights and my daughter had hair cut) The reason I gave 3 stars was the price...I end up paid over $300 for mine and my 11 years old daughter $55... The hair looks nice but I just wasn't expected spending over $300 on my hair...I was shocked, I wish I had discussed the prices before it..... read more

Walked in and they was nice enough to take me in when they was really busy. My hair was a friggn disaster. They came up with a plan and process to fix it. They're expensive but worth it because they use products that don't have ammonia which my scalp was super happy with because I can feel my crown kinda thinning from all the high buns I tend to do. It already looks great so far! read more

It's been about 6 weeks since I was serviced at this location (my next appt is scheduled) but I have got to say I am thrilled that I was able to get my appointment here. I had a horrible experience (totally different place) so I had a lot of anxiety about getting my hair done again. With much conversation & reassuring from my stylist i felt completely at ease. I'll be honest, I was a little reserved about paying such a high end price for a style but it was worth every penny! I will be a long standing customer. read more

The experience I had at this salon was great. The staff here are friendly and professional. The atmosphere is cool. My girlfriend gets her hair done here and I needed a haircut so I went to her hairstylist Vanessa. Vanessa is a great hairstylist. I'm picky with my hair so she listened to everything that I requested and executed it very well. She's fun to engage in conversation and has a great attitude. She also gave me some good recommendations on how I could style my hair. She suggested some products that I could benefit from. She did such a great job that I decided to take her advice and purchase the products. Now, I use these products just about every day. I will definitely be coming back here to get my haircut in the future. "Oh you fancy huh?" Quick Tip: Be sure to tip your hairstylist :) -Your Friendly Neighborhood Yelp'er read more

I love fusion 3! This is my go to salon when my usual stylist / colorist is too busy. I've had my hair cut, highlighted and styled a handful of times w/in the last few years and the ladies have always done a great job. They even did a fab makeup job for my 20th reunion last summer. Last week I had a Brazilian Blowout done by Kristen. She was professional, fun and answered all of my questions. I am loving the results and the fact that she called me a few days later to see if I was happy with the results and did they meet my expectations etc. First rate service from a first rate, non snobby salon! Will definitely be back in a few months for another blowout! Keep up the great work Fusion 3! read more

I've been going to Fusion 3 in Livermore for over a year now - and have had two great stylists who can actually cut my curly hair! Since my first visit when I received a discount and free water bottle for trying them out, I knew the salon would provide excellent customer service, and they have not let me down. I highly recommend this salon, and especially Melissa! She listens to everything I say about how I want my fine, curly hair to look, and she goes above and beyond my expectations. It's nice enough to have a salon that takes such great care of its customers, but the best part to me is to have a stylist that truly cares about getting the perfect cut, and showing me how to easily style it on my own. read more

I had a new slyest do my hair, Jessica. She was very nice and did exactly what I asked! I have never had the best of luck at hair salons so I went in hesitant but was referred by someone who has been going there for year so figured ok I'll try this place. So worth it! The special treatments they do that no other salons offer are wonderful! I left feeling great looking great & I will definitely be telling everyone to go there! Thank you ladies! read more

Came here on recommendation of a friend (this review is long overdue). The service was great. I felt pampered right when stepping in. Before the haircut, there was a scalp, shoulder, and hand massage. However, the actual haircut lasted about a minute. Granted, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my hair, but I didn't expect just a trim. This took under 30 seconds. Then my bangs were cut, which took another minute. The haircut was over. She didn't mess up, but for a $55 haircut I expected a lot more. If you come here, make sure you know what you want to do with your hair. read more

I have worked in an AVEDA salon for 6 years, so I know the extra AVEADA touches to expect from an AVEDA salon, and Fusion 3 went above and beyond!!! The lovely greeting and offer of a beverage, the shoulder and scalp massage, and the hand massage at the shampoo bowl! Extra touches that you don't get at other places! I went to Fusion 3 Salon with hair that was in need of a lot of attention due to a previous horrible hair cut experience (not at an AVEDA salon). Cecilia took care of me today and was wonderful. She was reassuring and confident that she could get my hair back into shape and she certainly did. I left well educated on the steps to continue to improve the shape of my hair and what products to use. I normally don't book my next appointment when I leave, but today I did!!!! I loved using the YELP coupon for $20 off my service and am excited to pass on the discount to friends that I refer! I am sending my mother in law in the next couple days! Quite the incentive to send friends in when you receive $50 your next service for each referral! I was also given a $10 off coupon today for my next service!!! LOVE FUSION 3 SALON! read more

I have been going to Melissa for the last 5 years and I love her. Everyone there is so nice. I had my wedding make up and hair done there as well and it turned out lovely. They take the time to listen to you and execute the cut and color perfectly. Awesome head massages, too! All of their products smell amazing, too! read more

I love Fusion 3 and hope they don't ever leave because a great hair cut is the most important part of my outfit. Nicolle is the best and always gives me a cut I love and can do myself. Every person at the salon is very nice and personable and knows how to give great customer service. Cynthia Kennedy read more

I *love* Fusion3 Salon Spa. I started getting my hair cut with the owners when they worked at a previous salon in Dublin; when Fusion 3 opened in Pleasanton almost 10 yrs i was there as one of their first customers. After moving to South Livermore in 2005, it only made sense to reduce the overall time committment and move to the Livermoe location - plus my favorite stylsite is there!!! I have never had a bad haircut nor had bair coloring. I use Anna for my haircuts and just recently started with Nicholle - she make my highlighs looks completely natural, gorgeous and fresh. I've also found the prices rhe prices to be lowere than Salon Tivoli. Btw, the Aveda products are awesome - so good for yoi, the earth read more

I LOVE Melissa !!! She has been my stylist for over ten years now and does an Amazing Job !! I am always getting compliments on my hair style and it's all because of her ! I love the aroma therapy scalp and shoulder massage, it comes just before your shampoo, and it is amazing ! I also am a big fan of their hand massage, with Aveda lotion, it really relaxes you and the girls do a wonderful job. I've never had anything like this in all the salons I've visited ! read more

My 14 year old daughter has an appt for an updo and Megan was great! She gave her a shoulder massage, explained everything she was doing, paused to make sure the style she was creating matched my daughters inspiration picture. She was very friendly. They had fresh made cookies, cool cucumber water and coffee which I helped myself to while I waited (: the ambiance in fine, the salon is very clean and well kept. read more

WOW - Anna is a rockstar! I will be back when I need another cut. Everything about this salon was perfection. The shoulder and scalp massage, the hand massage after the hair wash. I am in heaven. I have had bad experiences before (not here)- where I asked for my long hair to have long layers in the back and front, and I came out with my hair cut to my shoulders. That made me so scared to ever get my hair cut again. Well Anna and Fusion 3 Salon have completed renewed my faith. She was awesome! She listened to my rambling and fears of my hair. I have never had my hair look this amazing. I am truely a fan and will be back again and again. read more

They did a terrible job. They don't know how to mix colors. I ended up looking like a raccoon. Never going back again.

I started going to Fusion 3 in Pleasanton when I was pregnant with my daughter. My daughter is now 19 and we both go to Fusion 3. We love the staff and the results. We both miss them during the SIP and look forward to going back ASAP! read more

Very Impressed! I just moved into town and my neighbor recommended this salon. Talk about special treatment! I was greeted with tea and before my hair cut I was given a head massage with my choice of oils that was just heavenly. My stylist Karen was great and listened to my concerns. She even gave my hair a deep moisture conditioner as I had just moved from the desert air of Las Vegas. Karen even knew how I liked my hair blowed dryed. I just sat back and relaxed. Very good stylist! Then as a special treat as I was leaving, I was given a goodie bag with samples of the shampoo they used and the hand cream they used for my hand massage while I was given my deep conidtioning. My hair style has lasted and I will definately be going back again. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone! It's a great way to pamper yourself! Do it, we are all worth it! read more

Unfortunately, I will no longer be able to go to this salon. The have raised their prices again, It is just way too expensive for me . I paid over $300 for a cut and color. It's nice that they also offer a new talent option but it's still very expensive and there isn't much availability. Also, once you find someone you like they quickly move up to advanced and it's just too overpriced for me, and from my experience the new talent didn't use The Aveda products they used the other brand they carry. So I will be going out to the Aveda salon in Walnut Creek, which sucks but it's worth the 30 minute drive if I can save $150. You should update the price point on yelp it's definitely $$$ . read more

Got the cutest haircut from a doll named Ashley. Nifty salon in L'more down the block from Vine Cinema. Such a cool place. Serious teamwork with these smart ladies. My haircut is beautiful. And they sell Aveda products. Love those! And this lovely line of Italian specialty hair products - that is so obscure - I can't read the label. Part of a family of two other salons in the Tri-Valley - other locations are Pleasanton and Brentwood. Friends for Life. read more

Professional, welcoming and very attentive to COVID safety. This is a great salon!

Amazing service! I went here to get my feather extensions and custom ordered the colors I wanted. The staff was very helpful and nice. They called me right away when the feathers got delivered to make an appt. It cost me $35 a bundle which has 5 strings of feathers ( peacock colors :-) I felt very comfortable with the girls as they welcomed me with a bright smile. I was able to go back in to get the feathers changed to another spot! They still follow up with me to make sure its working out good and if I wanted to take them out I could come in anytime. I havn't had any experience with hair cut yet but Im definitely going here for my next cut. A bit costly ... But convenient and I love good customer service :-) Hope this helps y'all. read more

I am not hard to please and I am usually ok with whatever but will never go to this place again......I started going to this place in summer of 2016, my stylist(not gonna mention her name) used to do a good job until 3 months ago when I went there and she messed up my hair, they did not charge me, and I went there the second time and she messed up my hair again. Even though i did not have to pay i still tipped her 20%. The third time I went there, she fried my hair and did the worst job she could have possibly done. She put 2 pieces of brassy highlights on the front and the rest of my hair was black. The highlighted part of my hair was fried and had such an ugly color. The salon coordinator usually calls to get feedback for the service, but when I explained to her, she said she will talk to the manager but i never heard from them again... I had to go find a good hair stylist afterwards, had to pay $250 to fix the color and cut my hair to get rid of the fried hair.... read more

I never write reviews but choose to go out of my way for places that are worth it. Fusion 3 Salon Livermore is the best hair salon I have ever been to and have moved around and visited a lot all over the place! The experience is more than the haircut, being greeted, the massage, the essential oils: then they actually listen to you and do what's best for your hair. I have always had Melissa when I visit and she so kind and genuine, and remembers who I am even after months of not visiting. The salon itself is comfortable, clean, well kept and relaxing. It is well work the price for a basic style. I will be returning back here each time because i feel so amazing after leaving; I feel cared for and appreciated. Thank you Fusion 3 for making me feel good about myself and happy about my natural hair. :) Thank you Melissa! read more

This salon is so rude, I'm not sure where they get off thinking they can have poor customer service but they do. I had my hair mis colored there three times and stopped going, but my main complaint is for the face products they sell there. Specifically the tourmaline hydrating face cream, I've gone in twice and called twice inquiring about it and it's all attitude. I'm not sure if they just don't want to carry Aveda products or what but every other salon that Dela Aveda products has never been rude like this. It's as if they are acting like they are some super important salon in New York City or something. We're in Livermore, home of kindness and non pretentious people. Ugh, super upsetting because id rather drive to Santana row to get my products because customer service is on point there! Get it together fusion 3! read more

Having left my favourite hairdresser in the U.K. I was nervous about find a great lengths specialist. Thankfully, I can say I found the best extensions I have ever had and such an awesome hairdresser in Melissa. All of the staff are so friendly, warm and personable and I trust Mellissa explicitly. I'd be lost without her! read more

Melissa was super! She gave me a fresh new cut and I'm thrilled with the results. For $50 (she's Accomplished) I got a new style, scalp massage, hand massage, shampoo, condition and plus a free hand cream because it's the holiday. Very happy! read more

Melissa K is amazing! I have been coming to her since I moved down to Livermore. Each person I come in contact with is super nice and friendly! Anna even remembered my name after not seeing me for about 6 months! That's just awesome! Great place, great people, great experience! And the experience does matter. read more

Anna is the best stylist Ever! She has seen me through short hair long hair and helped me when I strayed (couldnt wait to get an appt. at fusion 3 and went somewhere else...What a mistake!) to a different stylist that damaged my hair. She always takes the time to perfect the cut, and tame my curly locks. And she is a sweetheart too. read more

Amanda has done a fantastic job thus far with my hair adventure but honestly, Justine and the whole team is great. If you're looking for knowledgable staff that will make you feel welcome and comfortable and that will do whatever it takes to get it right then look no further. This is the place for you! read more

Everyone is so nice and welcoming. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted and taken care of. I have been going to Lindsay the past year and she always does it right, every time. I live 45 mins away and I choose to come here because the quality and service is just worth it. read more
