Have been going to Lily for about 6-7 years now. She is great! When I first started seeing her I…read morehad a really bad blonde hair dye and my hair was so fried and falling off. She chopped it off and literally brought it back to life! I was so grateful for her. Then I started embracing my curls and started getting curly cuts so I didn't go to Lily for a while but now I am back. She is still fantastic and we are currently trying to achieve long (curly) hair. Lily is very understanding and is honest about what I need to do and what I should stop doing for my hair goals. I have recommended her to 2 of my other girlfriends and they all go to her now. When anyone ever asks who I recommend for them to get their haircut with I always send them to Lily! Also, the salon is super cute!

I have been a client of Tony DeMartile at his Aveda Sole' salon since 2003. He has never…read moredisappointed. He is the best hairstylist for curly hair that I have ever encountered. I always go away with a cut that lasts and lasts and lasts. This time I haven't seen him in six months. I have let my hair grow out till it's out of control but it still shows the style he created. Tony is the best! Also, his new location is so much fun! It's nestled into Saint Anthony's turnaround shop in Orinda that Tony single-handedly turned into a glorious goi d art treasure hunt. Relax. Get your best cut from a genuinely nice man in a fun environment. Enjoy!

I was going to visit a friend and I had some time to kill before she got home from work. It had…read morebeen two years since I got a haircut (I intentionally grow it out to donate). Getting a haircut seemed like a fun a productive way to spend my free time. I know nothing about the area, but I stumbled upon Sole's yelp page and it said that they were offering $20 off to book with Chelsea. I called and without asking, was told the Chelsea was one of the two stylists available during the date and time I requested. Perfect! Guy, who answered the phone was friendly and accommodating and asked a lot of questions about what I wanted to ensure I would have a good experience. It made me feel like they were very professional, and he really talked Chelsea up, saying she was super experienced, but just new to this particular salon, hence the yelp promo. He also gave clear parking instructions on the phone, which I appreciated. The atmosphere was really clean and welcoming, they immediately offered me water or tea. Chelsea was great. I wasn't particular about what exactly I wanted, but she listened and made suggestions and I totally trust her judgement. She was really calculated and took her time with me. I am sure I was her last appointment of the day, but I didn't feel rushed at all. She genuinely wanted to do a great job and I looked and felt great at the end of it. Like I said, I don't live in the area and I only get my hair cut once every two years, but I would still highly recommend this place and Chelsea. So if you do live in the area and need a haircut, give her a try.

My review is specifically for Elham. I have been going to her for almost 10 years now. My first…read morevisit with her was to help repair my hair from an awful highlight job done by another person. My hair had been completely burnt and was multiple colors. Given the fragile state of my hair, we decided to just color it back to the natural color and let it fully grow out overtime. I have been going to her ever since including following her to this new location. She is the only person who I trust to cut and highlight my hair that suits me. Some hairdressers have a tendency to do the same style across multiple people and that doesn't work. She knows exactly how to highlight my hair, touchup, and cut to frame my face perfectly. I am constantly receiving compliments on the healthiness of my hair and style, and a big part of that is because of the way she tends to hair so precisely. Can't recommend her enough.

I saw Ellie yesterday after lunch at Comelones Tacos. Her prices are 75 dollars for a haircut…read more She was prompt and was serving two people when I saw her. My appointment was at 12 noon and that is when I sat in her chair. The salon itself is very small with one chair for waiting clients. There were three stations and all three ladies including Ellie looked like true professionals. I didn't see any chatting or joking but complete attention to their clients except for Ellie who checked her cellphone several times and also talked on her cellphone while cutting my hair. Since I paid 90 (after a 15 dollar tip) for a 22 minute service, I felt a little cheated. Ellie washed my hair for five minutes from 12:00 to 12:05. At 12:22, I was outside getting into my car which meant that my haircut was 17 minutes. 90 dollars for a 17 minute haircut just doesn't feel right. My haircut was very basic, a few layers in the back and I didn't really see much layers framing my face which she promised. I would have liked a little more detailed framing. I will see how my hair grows out but I am unsure I will come back. Also, Ellie doesn't take credit cards so I had to pay her cash which she appreciated.

Gosh, I've been on Yelp since February 2010, have been a customer of CH since before then, and am…read morejust getting to writing a review now? I see Fay to get my haircuts and to get my underarms waxed. Pretty cheap too, about 20% less than at other hair removal salons. The only drawback to getting waxed here is that it isn't a full service wax place, so there is no private room to get waxed. Everything is done out in the open amongst others, so you can only wax parts of the body that you don't mind others seeing. I don't mind... it's just my armpits and is such a good deal anyways! Haircuts are also reasonably priced. Very friendly staff. Bob and the others recognize me and chat with me even though I'm Fay's client. Great atmosphere! Fay does haircuts, coloring, perming, and hair removal (waxing and threading). Bob and Yvonne do haircuts and I think coloring and perming as well. Judy does manicures and pedicures. I think there is at least one other hairdresser but I can't remember...
