Hahaha I left here with the extremely rare urge to write a bad review, then I felt bad, but then I…read morechecked this location on Yelp and laughed because it's soo poorly rated! Hoping to add fuel to fire so management will improve this chain? Arrived for my appointment 5 mins early and waited 30 minutes. I was told they were down a stylist so hence the wait, but based on reviews here, it sounds like they usually run behind. All good. My stylist had me select from their options and said "it's all the same" They then washed my hair - and can't lie, the scalp massage was great! The water temp though was so bad, as others have said it just oscillated from way too hot to way too cold. The styling itself was not great, both in process and result. They burned my scalp multiple times and I was shocked when they were done cause the hair was falling in my face and I would literally have to clip it up to see. When I pointed out that I needed more volume at the roots, they said "we can't do anything about that, your hair is flat." I laughed cause I knew it was hopeless after that and just left. I went home and styled my hair myself Do not come here to treat yourself! Actually don't come here at all. PLEASE drybar just improve this location a bit!!!

Ruined a Once-in-a-Lifetime Occasion…read more I had been looking forward to this appointment for weeks. My daughter and I booked blowouts in advance to celebrate her college graduation a once-in-a-lifetime milestone. We planned ahead, scheduled early, and had high hopes. When we arrived, we were told they were running behind and short-staffed with only 3 stylists working. We were asked to come back, and I made sure to personally write down my number so they could call us. Rather than waste time, my daughter and I went to get her nails done while we waited for the call. The call never came. We walked back ourselves to check in, and a stylist claimed she had called me. When I asked her to show me the call log, she grabbed the phone and hit dial and my phone started ringing right there in front of her. She said "see, I called you!" but the last four digits dialed were wrong. My number was not the one that had been called previously. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, she told me she was not going to argue and that she would NOT be doing our hair because her client was now there for her appointment. I broke down in tears right there. This was my daughter's graduation day. I cannot style my own hair and was counting on this appointment. I chose to leave rather than make the situation worse. I am still heartbroken that this special day was impacted by carelessness and terrible customer service. I would not recommend this location for anything important.

After 17 years of living in Burlingame and experimenting with countless stylists across the Bay…read moreArea, I finally found 'the one' in Derek DeAngelis at Onyx Salon. For years, I jumped from salon to salon never quite finding the right fit, but Derek is in a league of his own. What sets him apart is his process: he truly listens to what you want, but then takes the time to consult with you on how that vision translates to your specific hair type, face shape, and daily routine. He is a true professional who always delivers exactly what I'm looking for, and my hair has never looked better. Even though I've moved away from Burlingame, I still make the trek back just to see him. He is a total pleasure to be around and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

You are in Burlingame so I was expecting better quality products used for a professional makeup appointment.!My eyeliner was not good and my eyelashes were curled after being placed. My makeup was rushed and you could tell. I had to redo my whole entire makeup prior to the event. I had to go to Sephora and apply different eyelashes as I was short on time. It was a disaster. I will not be going back and will not put my picture on this review because I am embarrassed on how bad it was. I was contacted via text message and told the services were rushed. I informed them I would not have paid for the service but had no choice and paid. I was asked to remove this review in order to get 50% money back. I said no this is important that other people see these reviews when booking appointments on their special day. The information listed below by the owner is incorrect. I was not informed I would only get 30 minutes for a makeup that sounds incorrect. Also to correct dark circles you need to add corrector. No high end makeup was offered at all. Every product used was cheap. The owner refuses to accept this review. Also my friend who went after me had the same experience and had to re do her makeup prior to the event. Save yourself from ruining ur special day and shop wisely when getting your makeup done on your special day. It really can ruin it for you. I was told that if I remove the posting I could get 50% back. If not she would not work with me as she did her job. I would not call this a professional makeup appointment.

I was hoping for beige highlights and got bright blonde. I asked for a refund and was only offered a "fix it at no cost". I declined. Intervention: Reached out to Vance who did my hair in the past. Don't ask me why I just didn't come back. Vance was able to see me pretty quick and did an AMAZING job!! He gave me beige highlights and darkened the base which I just love. I'm tanned skin so the blonde highlights was not flattering. Evaluation: I am forever grateful for Vance. He is very skilled at his craft. The result was exactly what I was hoping for from the very beginning when I stepped into the other salon. Note to self....i will never see any other stylist. I highly recommend Vance if you're looking for a highly skilled professional that will make you leave his chair feeling confident and amazing about your hair!!!

Mustafa was very responsive from the start and made scheduling easy. I came in for a color correction and balayage, and I have to say he did an excellent job. He and his assistant really took the time to fix the color, and the end result turned out beautiful. I'm very happy with my hair and would definitely come back. That said, if you're someone who values the overall salon experience as much as the hair itself, it's worth setting your expectations. Communication is fairly limited, as most of the staff speak very little English. They get the job done and focus on the hair, but there isn't much conversation or consultation beyond what's necessary. Also, while the pricing is comparable to salons in Los Gatos or Palo Alto, the experience is more basic. During my visit, I wasn't offered coffee, water, or other amenities, and based on other Yelp reviews and photos, that seems to be the norm rather than an exception. Overall, if your priority is getting great hair results, Mustafa delivers. Just don't expect a luxury salon experience with lots of extras or personalized service. For me, the quality of the color correction was worth it, and I'd happily return.
