Lynette was so amazing with my daughter who had matted hair that was so so tangled I had given up. They chatted away for the 2 hours it took, Lynette super patient and careful. Taught me more about her hair and how to care for it. She did miracles. Hopefully we go back for both our haircuts soon! read more

She did an amazing job! As a man with long, curly hair, I've struggled to find someone in the peninsula with the knowledge and patience to cut my hair in a way that works for me. I tried the "best" places in Palo Alto and Mountain View based on other Yelp reviews, and they came nowhere close. Thanks for the great haircut! Looking forward to next time! read more

I just moved to the Bay Area about a month ago, and I'm so glad I found Lynette. She gave me an amazing cut, she was super friendly, and she was efficient! read more

G Lynette Sargentini - Hair Stylists Near Me - Menlo Park, California

This is the stylist to go to if your hair is curly or wavy. Thick, thin, short, long - Lynette performs miracles on wayward hair and I know because I have the worst type of hair: thin, baby fine and wavy! A nightmare. Lynette cuts it so well it looks great with minimal styling which suits me fine. It's like she's instant friends with your hair and it tells her just how to cut so it will effortlessly fall right. Plus she's an authentically nice person read more

Lynette really knows curly hair. She uses techniques that are specific to curly hair, so curls always look natural, bouncy, and not "butchered". Lynette is also very good with color - my hair never feels dry or over-processed. I also appreciate that Lynette is very friendly, makes you feel comfortable, and listens carefully. Lynette never tries to sell you products, but is very good at giving advice if you have questions about products designed for curly hair. read more

This review is long overdue. I have been going to Lynette for 3-4 years and honestly I love this place. If you have curly hair, you know the importance of finding a good hair dresser/stylist. Not everyone understands curly hair and how to cut it. Lynette uses deva curl method (cut the hair dry and then rinse and dry). It's easy to book appointments on the website, I usually book a couple of months out. In the last 3-4 years, I have never had any complaints. The style is great, she understands every client needs. It's always great chatting with her. Her studio is located at the back of the larger studio- it's much more private, always clean. Easy to find parking. In the last so many years, I never had to wait - she's always ready when I arrive. She accepts cash, so make sure you have enough for the service and tip. All in all, I love going here. read more

I've had four haircuts with Lynette. One was fantastic, definitely one of the best cuts I've had. Two were not great but I could still make my hair look ok. The recent one was the worst haircut I've ever had! I asked her to cut one inch and she cut off three inches in some places more leaving a huge "shelf" difference between the front and sides of my head. read more

I was excited to go Lynette for my curly hair, but I would not go back to her. After one year of not having my haircut, Lynette spent only 5 minutes "trimming" my hair (a dry cut), 10 minutes washing and about 20 minutes putting me under the hair dryer. When it came to paying, she quoted me $15 more than listed price which created an awkward situation. Would not recommend. read more

I hadn't had a haircut in 2 1/2 years when I went to Lynette. I have really difficult hair - very fine, frizzy in parts, and curly in others. She did a fabulous job! She gave me a very cute, short haircut that takes no effort at all, which is perfect for me. Strongly recommend her for folks with curls. read more

I've been going to Lynette for a while and she's excellent. She specializes in curly/wavy/frizzy hair. She always does a great job getting my wild mane of hair to do what it's supposed to do: * Look good * Frame my face In a way that complements me And she's very nice. I only wish I could duplicate the styling she does with my hair. So far, not so much. *sigh* I usually contact her by email to get an appointment. There is 2 hour free parking in a lot near the salon. She accepts cash or a check. read more

Dude, I've been going to Lynette for like, years. 2006ish I found Teresa Callen, and didn't have the most ideal experience, but I went back out of necessity. Eventually Teresa took on Lynette, who eventually began managing her own clients, and I switched and was way happier after that. I think I started with her in like 2008ish maybe? So 4 going on 5 years now? Lynette is practical, straightforward, kind, sweet, and down to earth. Easy to talk to, get along with, work on solutions for your hair together with, and no-drama. Her price point is reasonable, she can cut curly hair dry, she's a reliable colorist, and she's gentle with your head. I was actually never quite thrilled with the actual cuts/styles with Teresa/Lynette in the beginning, but they've been getting better. At the start I pretty much always felt like I had an 80's frizz-out cut. That's back in style now, but definitely not a look I'm deliberately going for. So over time as I worked with Lynette I began to trust her, and my last couple of cuts with her have been great. I have had some random issues that happen, like a bit of hair out of place that needs to get snipped at later, and of course with curly hair it can be tricky because you can't pull the curls out too long since that is not what they will naturally look like when the client goes home and does their normal wash/style/air or blow dry (with diffuser) routine. So sometimes the cuts can be shorter than they should be and once I get home I'm a little frustrated, so we're always learning a little more each cut and adjust to compensate. Coloring is also not like wild edgy fashion coloring, but Lynette is reliable, organized, and professional with how she colors. She uses the healthiest stuff she can to limit killing my hair, so we almost never lift with peroxide unless we absolutely have to, and we usually do semi-permanent color. Sometimes I do have to come back to correct a color issue but it's usually pretty minor; plus I know I have really ethnic curly hair that eats up product, and with curls it's hard to get the dimensions you want so there's a bit of trial and error. The cool thing is that Lynette adapts well, works with you, is always willing to correct something and offers great customer service, which is why I keep coming back. I go to her like 3-4 times a year for a color, and 50% of the time I include the cut to clean my head up / take off those sad dead ends. For super ethnic curly hair girls - a reliable, great person to work with! Note: Ok, so if you follow my reviews you'll know I never give 5's unless my mind is utterly blown which is like .0001 % of the time. But when I give a 4 star it means the experience was great and I recommend it, and I'll go back. read more

G Lynette Sargentini - Cut/Color by Lynette - Hair Stylists Near Me - Menlo Park, California

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Lynette before. She is amazing with curly hair. She does a great job, she's fast, and she's really nice to talk to as well. read more

Lynette is amazing!!! She's very personable and the result is exactly what I wanted. She definitely knows how to cut curly hair without all the unnecessary stuff (a.k.a making other haircuts super overpriced). 100% will be coming back again!! read more

Lynette is absolutely wonderful. Being ethnic and having thick curly hair, I have lots of difficulty finding people who know what to do with my hair. Lynette did a great job listening to me, being honest with what she knew (other hairstylists often pretend they know things they don't), and implementing the cut. She's really nice and doesn't try to sell you products, which I always appreciate. I really dislike going to salons and people trying to sell me overpriced products. Overall, I strongly recommend Lynette for people with difficult to manage/ curly hair. read more

Lynette Corriea did a really great job with my half wavy/half curly hair. See my hair is nearly straight down to my ears and then its curly the rest of the way down. Lynette fixed this. I really don't know how, but I'm eternally grateful. Finally the top part of my hair doesn't look like its an entirely different style from the bottom of my hair. It's all cohesive now, which is really a miracle, considering what she was working with! I am trying to grow my hair out longer, so I was very nervous about getting it cut in the first place, but Lynette is a great listener. We spent a lot of time on the consultation, and she repeated back to me everything I said, so I could tell that she was really listening. I didn't feel rushed at all through the consultation and that was very important/reassuring to me. Not only that, the results confirm that she listened. I told her I still wanted to be able to put it back in a ponytail, and tuck it behind my ears, both of which I still can (yay), I told her I didn't want it to look so 80's and it doesn't anymore (double yay) and I told her I wanted to preserve as much length as possible. She said she would only trim and she actually held to it--my hair actually even looks a little bit longer now because of the way its styled AND its not in my face--again miraculous. (triple yay). I'm thoroughly satisfied and will definitely be back. She is great and easy to talk to. OMG and her washes are heaven. She does this scalp massage that feels *fantastic*. read more

Lynette could not be more awesome! As a wavy-curly haired girl who has struggled with confidence because of her hair throughout the years, Lynette was exactly what I needed. Previous hair stylists always treat my hair like straight hair, cutting it wet, styling it the wrong way, and blow drying it into a frizzy mess. Not Lynette! My appointment was at 9:45 AM on Saturday for a cut and dye job. Lynette was friendly and down-to-Earth, and I immediately liked her. I told her my desired cut and color, showed her pictures, and explained to her the way my hair behaves. She knew exactly what I was talking about, I could tell she is an expert with curly hair. She cut my hair dry (which is how you're supposed to cut curly hair), then dyed it. She did an ombre, which looked awesome and was exactly what I asked for. She used DevaCurl products on my hair and made sure not to use anything that I was allergic to on me (I have millions of allergies haha). I am so happy with my haircut! I love it, I feel so confidence, and my curls look awesome. On top of that, the price was really good and we had excellent conversation for the duration of the process (~3 hours). If you're looking for someone to cut your hair, (especially curly hair), no matter the texture, go to Lynette, you will be as happy as I am. I'll be returning as soon as I need another cut! :) read more

Lynette Corriea has cut my hair twice; both cuts were great. Her rates are SUPER reasonable ( I think Teresa is more pricey), and I was able to make an evening appointment over email, which is very convenient. The first cut was just a nice general re-shaping for my long hair. The second time, I wanted to chop it short, and she did a great job! Also, they sell great DevaCurl products. Also, note, BRING CASH OR CHECK, they do not take credit card. The first time, Lynette was super cool, and said to just mail her a check. read more

Lynette is incredible. I got my first haircut with her today and I am so happy with it. I have very curly hair and she took the time to ask me questions about what I like in a haircut and how I style my hair. I mentioned that I am sensitive to fragrance and so she used unscented shampoo, conditioner and gel to wash and style my hair after cutting it. She is really kind and accommodating and I left feeling like a million bucks!! I've found my new hairstylist! read more

Lynette is honestly AMAZING at what she does. She is so kind and patient and always does exactly what you want yet she is so quick. The salon is very safe and private and if you have curly hair you NEED to go see Lynette ASAP. She is the best!!!!!! read more

Lynette is a magician! She freed my curls to flourish! I've never had such joyous curls - yes, they are thrilled to be free! Have had cuts across Europe, where I live, and no one cuts like Lynette. Only challenge is getting an appointment. Be patient! It is worth whatever you must do if your curls are not treated well by others! Thanks, Lynette for introducing me to my curls in a new way! read more

This review is for Lynette Correia. She exceeded my expectations and I am THRILLED with the results. I'm a stay-at-home Mom who puts my curly hair into a bun every day... I felt like I was losing my sense of style and getting lazy, so I looked into a curl specialist to get a good cut. Lynette knew exactly what she was doing, met my needs and even taught me how to style my hair. I was able to recreate her look on my hair this morning in about 5 minutes -- which is all I have to get ready since I have an 18 month old son. I was able to wear my hair down, which I NEVER do because I don't like it in my face. She also taught me how to pin it back while it's wet so that curls will dry away from my face. I will definitely go and see her again. If you have curly hair, don't hesitate to call her. You can make an appointment online and she works in the evenings. I can't say enough about her. read more

Really great at curly hair! Lynette is the best. Don't go to salons where they cut your curly hair while it's wet.

Yesterday I got my first curly haircut ever with Lynette, and I'm so happy with the results! She took the time to listen to me explain how I've been washing/styling my hair before we started the cut, and was patient with all my questions about products and techniques as someone who is learning how to wear my hair wavy/curly. Lynette knew exactly how to trim my hair to bring out the most texture and taught me tricks for maintenance. I'm looking forward to returning! read more

I've now gone to Lynette a few times now and plan on returning many more. She is great with curly hair, my first curly hair specialist. She takes the time to do a thorough job and I never feel rushed. My hair always feels great when I leave and she has given me great tips. I would recommend her to any curly girl without hesitation. Using the online appointment is easy. But as someone mentioned cash or checks, no cards. Prices are reasonable for the area. read more

I have been at war with my curly, frizzy hair for the last 10 years but have been afraid to have a stylist do anything to it but trim an inch of the bottom. After reading all the great reviews about Image Arts Salon on yelp, I decided to take the BIG PLUNGE! I had an appointment with Lynette today and we had an indepth consultation about what I was currently doing with my hair and what some of the issues were. My hair was just not as curly as it used to be and I was having a hard time maintaining the curl that I had. I used to dread washing my hair and having to beat it in to shape for an hour afterward. Lynette carefully listened to all my concerns and then we came up with a game plan for my hair. I have long hair and I wanted to preserve the length. As Lynette carefully evaluated and cut each curl, I began to relax about the whole process. I was surprised to see there was very little hair on the cutting room floor! I am soooo happy with my haircut and best of all, it takes me only 15 minutes vs an hour with a fabulous result. I got my curls back! read more

I can never find someone who will treat my curly hair with the care like she did. My curls now have life again thank you!

I have been going to Lynette for about 5 years now. She has so much experience and I trust her completely with my hair! She has done wonders to my bleached damaged hair over all these years. I am now on this Deva curl journey. So I am letting the curls do their thing with Lynette's magic. She definitely knows how to make my curls bounce back. I can't wait for the next trim! read more

I've found Lynnette when looking for a Deva Curl trained hair dresser. I have been extremely pleased with both her cuts and color service. I have recently visited a famous Devachan salon in NYC because of all the buzz around it, and the quality of the cut there is less impressive than Lynette's. read more

Can't say much about the stylist, just that the salon advertized doesn't sell Deva Curl products, even though the stylist seems to use them in the salon. Good to know if you are in the area and looking for Deva Curl. Peninsula Beauty on University Ave. in downtown Palo Alto carries this line. read more

Lynette gave me the best haircut I ever had. I've been struggling with finding a style I'd enjoy since cutting my 3b/c hair short. Lynette did an amazing job: we talked about what I liked and didn't like about my previous style, I showed her some pictures of my short hair inspirations, and - voila - after 1/2 hour I have my dream hair. The shape compliments my face, every curl is in its perfect place, and curls form this swooosh wave in the front above my forehead that I just LOVE - not sure how or why it happened; Lynette is just the Curl Whisperer. I'm so glad I found her, in Menlo Park of all places. read more

Finally a place where my curly hair feels LOVED!! I was very apprehensive about trimming since I love my long curly hair and wanted to make sure my stylist listened to what I wanted..Lynette did a great job and honored a coupon I had--I even felt bad paying the coupon rate because I loved the deva cut, but I had to since I am a recent law school grad on a very tight budget!! That's a whole other story! lol...anyways, I loved that I didn't feel pressured to buy the products because I wouldn't have been able to afford them, but I will be in the future and since she didn't try to push them on me. I will seriously consider purchasing in the future. I've never left a salon before where the stylist actually styled my curly hair!! Look forward to my next cut with Lynette! read more

Lynette is a wonderful person and I hate to give this review since it could hurt her business. However, I don't want other curly haired people to go with very high expectations like I did. I went there after reading the raving Yelp reviews. I asked for a cut with layers and it turned out to be a disaster. I had to get another cut with someone else after this cut to get it fixed. Very disappointed for a $65-75 haircut!! read more

Lynette is absolutely fantastic. I have long curly hair so finding a great stylist is always difficult. My last cut with Lynette was so great and grew out so beautifully, I didn't get another cut for over a year! She is very attentive and talented, and her experience is clear. She is also great with color, and she's a pleasure to chat with throughout the appointment. Honestly, I would wait two months and drive two hours for her to cut my hair if I had to :) read more

I found Lynette on Google/Yelp and had my first haircut with her yesterday. I am so glad I did it and I am very pleased with my haircut and with the whole experience! For the past 10 years I have been going to different hairstylists in the Bay Area who had absolutely no clue on how to handle curly hair. Have you ever left a salon already thinking about washing you hair when you get home and style it by yourself to see if you can make it look better? Yes, that's how it usually went for me. When I sat on Lynette's chair and she started handling my hair I already knew it was going to be different! Lynette is relaxed, easy going, a pleasure to talk to, straight forward and knows exactly what she is doing. And the most important: she has natural curly hair. That makes such a difference in a hairstylist when you have curly hair! If you have curls, please do yourself a favor and go see Lynette. I'm so happy I did and I am glad that I now know where to go to have a haircut without hesitation. read more

Lynette is simply the best! She is the the only one I let do my hair. She is an artist when it comes to how to cut and style curly hair. I drive an hour just to see her. I definitely reccomend her to all my friends. read more

This was my first time with Lynette, and first time getting a deva cut, and I'm really happy with the results. I'm Indian with very curly hair (2C curl for those obsessive about knowing your curl type like me), and I wanted to cut a good 7 inches off of it to have shoulder length hair. Lynette is very careful and attentive about what you want. When she was done, she'd have me look at the cut from all angles and asked if I wanted anything changed. She'd make all those changes accordingly. Good cut, good service, and very reasonably priced. I would visit Lynette again. read more

To start, I have crazy, thick, tight curly hair and decided to get the Brazilian blowout treatment, to relax the curls and ease management (bad idea). Unfortunately, this treatment changed my hair drastically (basically went from super curly to really straight). I had more trouble managing my 'new' hair do after the treatment. It even caused damage and breakage (yes, blotches of hair falling out). I freaked out and began a mission to find a stylist who could not only help restore my curls but also someone who knew more about curly hair (ahem--has curly hair!). I searched and searched, even had a few trials -- with one, I noticed my layers were lopsided after a trim (oh man). I kept on... and then came up Yelp for Lynette, so I set up an appointment and after my first visit, I was sold! It's been a year since I've been going to Lynette and my curls have never been better/healthier! What I really like about Lynette that she takes the time to listen, is open to working with you on your requests and that she doesn't push products on you. One thing that stood out to me was that a majority of her clientele have curly, so you know she's good for it! If you have really curly hair (if it helps, Polynesian hair to be exact), I recommend Lynette! She is your go to gal! read more

Lynette was great! Very friendly and professional. My devacut looks fantastic! She gave me exactly what I wanted. I'm so glad I found someone who does devacurl cuts in the Bay Area since moving to California from Texas. Just a tip, she's check or cash only so come prepared. read more

I just got my hair cut by Lynette today, and I was VERY impressed! First of all, the salon is really nice and calm and professional. Lynette has her own room to work in, so it feels very private and pampering. I love that the salon focuses on products that are non-toxic and score well on the skin-deep website, too! Lynette was really nice and professional and thoughtful, and she did an outstanding job listening to what I wanted and what my needs were today. My hair is thick and very curly in some areas and almost straight in others. She performed a "miracle" - literally shaping each curl so that my hair appears to have a uniform, beautiful curl. She also helped me choose the right products and gave me a hair care regimen that works for my mom-on-the-go needs. I am REALLY happy with the whole experience. Thank you, Lynette! read more

I love Lynette! She's the best and most consistent curly hair stylist. My husband is a fan of her great hair cuts as well. I would recommend Lynette to anyone with hard to handle, curly hair. Five stars well deserved! read more
