    Right out of the salon!

    I can not stress this enough HAVE HEATHER DO YOUR HAIR. I have never been so satisfied with my hair. I will forever trust Heather with my hair because look at the results. She's always welcoming with warm open arms. Another important note is that she provides helpful tips about hair care and always provides recommendations.

    I've been going to Heather for a while now and I could never trust anyone else with my hair ever! She is also one of the sweetest girls you could ever meet. Heather it is honestly the best. She opened her own salon which is amazing. I love her new location. It is private and you can enjoy some good girl talk with her while she works her magic. Her new place is close to many parking garages as well. Now let me tell you about my hair. I had virgin hair and I was nervous the first time she did my hair. She gave me baby lights and ever since then I've been able to play with my color and my hair does not look damage at all. I also love that she can always make my vision happen. I couldn't be happy with her!

    I've been going to Heather for my hair since 2018 so absolutely had to follow her when she opened up The Gloss Bar, which is located inside the Salon Republic in Sunnyvale. I trust Heather so much with my hair. I've gotten babylights, balayage, and haircuts with her and always leave feeling so brand new. Also the maintenance afterwards for myself did not feel bad at all, especially when the beginning of quarantine left me with so much root grow out - but no harsh lines at all! From blonde to brunette, Heather has helped me achieve different colors and looks but what I love most is her emphasis on healthy hair and helping her clients feel great after getting their hair done. There's no doubt that Heather is super talented! Her customer service is also great and Heather is so sweet, making sure you're comfortable the entire time since sessions can be several hours long. I appreciate that she is transparent about what she can do and how many sessions it might take to achieve desired results. She's also super informative about aftercare. Getting your hair done isn't a cheap investment, but it is so worth it and I always feel like I get what I paid for. Already booked my summer appointment and can't wait to come back!

    LOVE HEATHER. I've been going to multiple different people to get my hair done the past few years but could never stick with one...until now!! Heather is the sweetest person and she makes time go by fast (considering it usually takes 3-5 hours for a session). She also has the best interest in maintaining your hair health while also catering to what you want. Not only does she know what she's talking about, she is super personable and makes you feel comfortable - the minute I walked in, I already knew it was going to be a great experience. I got babylights during my session and she did NOT DISAPPOINT. I'm so obsessed with my hair and also obsessed with her.

    My third time seeing Heather and I am just as pleased, if not more than my first and second appointment. She just gets the job done every time. Today I got a partial, tone and trim. I have never seen anyone be so precise with cutting and taking care of my hair like she does. Today she also used the k18 mask on me, blow-dried and then perfectly curled my hair. My hair is the healthiest it's been in YEARS. I love it here!!

    Ana L.

    When I say I never trust anyone with my hair is an understatement specially when it comes to cutting it I don't let anyone touch it. I've always been known for my long hair and never wanted it short but every session with heather you can't help but feel so comfortable like you've known her for years she doesn't make you feel judged and educates you on anything you wanna know when it comes to your hair. I've trusted heather with my hair for about 5 years now and every single time it just feels like I'm a whole new person. As a mother of 3 feeling good simply because of how my hair looks is such a big deal for me it's like finding the person I was before I became a mother and it means the world to me. Heather makes me feel comfortable In her chair conversation or complete silence I feel so safe and she does so good bringing my vision for my hair to life. Go to her for all your hair needs you won't regret it. She looks out for your hair health no matter what and it's hard to find that these days.

    Love love love Heather's work! She listens to what I want and my hair is feeling super healthy! My last baby lights appointment with her, the color lasted so long and when it fades, it's not horribly brassy either! It faded to a a nice chocolate brown. She knew how important blending the roots are to me so you can't even tell that my hair grew out! She also recommends products that work. Overall I appreciate Heather's energy and attention to details. Sitting in her chair feels like talking to a good friend!

    Truly have never been so happy with a salon experience until now. Heather is incredible at educating her clients, delivering stunning results, and going above and beyond with her customer service. I've always had difficulty articulating what I wanted with my hair, and Heather took the time to walk me through all the options, her recommended process, all while being super mindful about my lifestyle and budget. This was my first time with Heather, but definitely will not be my last! I highly recommend giving her a try!

    Guys, Heather has opened her OWN SALON!!! The queen of babylights and balayage can now be found in Sunnyvale!! Heather is a master of color and placement. I know many of her clients have beautiful, thick hair but if you have fine, thinning and or grey hair - please know she can properly service your hair as well. The most important things : - fantastic covid protocol: safe, secure clean - my hair is never damaged. Heather always discusses how to meet certain goals and treats her properly - honestly, it's so fun getting your hair done with her. She's smart, funny, and good at her job - easy booking and payment

    Heather is the only hairstylist that I trust my hair with. I've done babylights, toning, and haircut sessions since 2018. Every session I have with her, I come with an idea and she delivers every single time. She's brings in new techniques that have the best results and I would 100% recommend going to Heather, whether you have virgin hair or are looking for something different. She is worth it!! For the location, The Gloss Bar suite is inside the Salon Republic building. You can either park on the street or at the parking garages. Plus the suite itself is very clean.

    Finding a hairstylist that speaks to you and truly cares about your interests can be a daunting task. I have been seeing Heather for about 2 years now and I'll never look back! She is truly the goddess of babylights and bayalage and works real magic to your hair. Since the very first time she did my hair I knew I'd found a skilled and knowledgeable hairstylist that listens to what I'm looking for. She is supportive of my goals while being honest and realistic with techniques and expectations. She always understands what I'm going for and explains her process prior to moving forward and ensures we are on the same page with the different types of styles and results. She is such a joy to spend time with that the time passes so fast and the experience is so enjoyable. She answers all of my many questions about styles and products that I'm interested in. She is exceptionally clean and and covid compliant in her salon. Her location is perfect as it's a fun neighborhood and she has a private work area in the salon for her space. She is kind-hearted and very skilled with a true passion for hair! I look forward to all the future hairstyles and the time we spend during our appointments!

    I've been going to Heather for a while now & she NEVER disappoints!!. I'm so glad that she was able to finally open up her own place & in a very nice area as well, it's is an up and coming area so google maps may not take you directly to the area, it is located in the salon republic building that is attached to target (you can park in their garage). Right now because of covid you have to text her to let her know that you are outside the building but if it wasn't then there is a receptionist that can point you in the right direction. I love how informative she is when it comes to the after care of your hair as well as during the process. It's never a dull moment with her.

    Phoebe T.

    I've been trusting Heather with my hair since 2019! She's so sweet and knowledgeable. I have gone to an appointment not knowing what I wanted done, but after some discussion, she was able to provide multiple ideas and suggestions without judging my unprepared self. Oh! And where else can you watch Disney movies while getting your hair done? (only if you're into them of course!) Just look at some of her amazing work on my hair!

    Yeye is a really good hair stylist and it shows! She understands what haircuts will suit you well…read moreand she isn't afraid to tell you her recommendations. I've seen her twice now: the first time was in November of 2024, and the second time was recently. The first time I saw her I got a short haircut and I was nervous about whether or not it would suit me as I've had long hair for the majority of my life. However, she reassured me that she wouldn't agree to the haircut if she didn't think it would suit me. In the end I was very happy and satisfied! She also helped thin out my hair as I had told her that my hair was feeling very dense and heavy. She's extremely knowledgeable and could tell that I had cut my own bangs haha. This second time I saw her I actually hadn't had a haircut since my first visit so it had grown out quite a bit. I told her I wanted a hush cut and that I had the same concerns about the weight of my hair. Again, she helped lighten the weight as well as gave me the exact cut that I wanted. She also didn't judge me for dyeing my own hair ash brown and even said I did a good job making it even! Overall, I highly recommend Yeye as a hair stylist and I'll definitely be seeing her again! She's very kind, easy to talk to, and an extremely skilled and knowledgeable hair stylist.

    I came to Yeye quite some time ago -- I was so excited to see a salon providing color analysis…read moreservices in the area! It seems to be very on trend right now, and I was determined to polish my personal style. Also, you can bring a friend for a 2-person session! Yeye is very good at giving her honest opinion so.. don't come if you're not ready for honesty. She showed me colors I look best in, as well as colors that are not my best. At first I thought the analysis would only include color draping but she truly went above and beyond. She even told me what hairstyles would suit my face shape best, and what hair colors to go for. The whole process was thorough -- she even did an analysis of my makeup and was determined to find a lip shade that suited my complexion, which is something even I have been struggling with since I started wearing makeup. Yeye also gave me clothing recommendations such as neckline styles that would suit me. The experience felt personalized and I have incorporated her advice into my shopping habits even months later. After our appointment she sent me home with a bunch of style guides along with outfit and hair inspo. I truly feel she has helped me elevate my style this year. I shopped according to my color season and I feel a lot more confident in my personal style. After having blonde hair for so long she convinced me to go brunette and I have no regrets. I'd highly recommend Yeye's color analysis service to anyone looking to change up their look/wardrobe and elevate their personal style. (Disclaimer: my hair color was done at a different salon)

I originally booked this appointment last minute after another stylist canceled on me the day before a trip - and honestly, I'm so grateful that happened, because I would've never found Grace otherwise. Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who really knows what they're doing, actually listens, and creates an amazing overall experience.

I never really write reviews but this is well worth it!! The salon is super cute and all the girls are very sweet and inviting, feels like everyone gets along and are friendly so the vibe is good. Great products offered by my favorite brands and very clean, can't wait for my next appointment. Thankyou again!
