I cannot praise Helen Owens enough for her exceptional talent as a hair stylist. She has not only…read moretransformed my hair since the first time I came to her with my damaged "yellow" bob, but has been an incredible source of inspiration. Not only us she a genius with hair color but she has put beautiful extensions on my hair. I am amazed at how quickly my damaged hair has finally come back to life and is healthy again. After every visit, leave feeling confident, radiant, and happy with the fantastic work she does. What sets Helen apart, in addition to her remarkable skills, is her genuine kindness and professionalism. Helen's impact goes beyond the salon chair. She has touched the lives of many women, including my own mother. I definitely recommend using her!

Things that stood out for me: 1. When you arrive, you're her main priority. No getting parked under the dryer while she services another client. 2. She cares about the health of your hair and will provide helpful advice. 3. She is more than extensions, she can do other haircare services. Relaxers, hair treatments, flat iron, etc. 4. And again, very professional and down to earth. It's really nice to have a salon that can service the hair of all types of women/men with all types of hair in Pleasanton.

Theresa is one of those rare and talented artists who can simply glance at a picture and give you…read moreexactly the hairstyle shown in it. Her haircuts are reasonably priced but they don't include any washes or blowouts. My hair always looks great after I wash and dry it myself after the cut. Theresa owns the salon and works alone, so it's strictly by appt only. You can text her on the phone number listed and she will get back to you very quickly. She's very knowledgeable about hair and makeup, and often dispenses very helpful advice. My daughter recently had her hair done for her high school senior ball. Theresa spent a long time on her and gave her a beautiful updo that looked elegant and kept its shape throughout the evening. We're beyond thrilled by her work. See enclosed pictures.

Oh my goodness, I was treated SO rudely on the phone by a woman at this salon. Not spending a penny…read morehere, ever. My usual stylist is out of town, so I thought I'd just call somewhere new. I love a few different spots, but I have been so preachy about "Buy Local, Spend Local" that I wanted to practice what I preach, and spread a little love. I called yesterday, a Wednesday, and I wanted to get a blow out, anytime this week, just before 6:00pm this Saturday. Obviously I wasn't going to ask for a highlight, and color, etc. I politely asked if there was any availability, and this beast snapped in the wicked voice, " No, I am not available (Now practically hissing) you betta call someone else!!" She sounded offended, livid, and ready to fight me in the parking lot. WTactualF. I had my kids and a friend in the car and we laughed so hard. We laughed because of the absurdity. A potential customer is on the phone, and this makes you angry? Why do you hate me? Were you not hugged enough as a child? Now that I've read a few one star reviews, I realize that I'm not the only one. Gateway Salon? More like HATEway Salon.

After my first visit, I was honestly shocked to see that there were any negative reviews about her.Ms. Teague is incredibly educated, talented, knowledgeable, and passionate about healthy hair. Within the first ten minutes of my appointment, she was able to tell me so much about my hair just by running her fingers through it. Since becoming her client, my hair has grown, become healthier, and I genuinely look forward to every appointment. Not only do I leave each visit with beautiful hair and a better understanding of how to care for it, but I also walk away with so much knowledge about life. Our conversations are always meaningful, and she creates an experience that goes far beyond just getting your hair done. Ms. Teague is MAGIC, and I am so grateful that I found her!

When I would ask him for an estimate on something he replied, "I don't know! You need to come in so I can see your hair." I'm not looking for an exact amount just a range in prices. And his tone is so unfriendly it made me not want to go in at all. First impression, not so great! Why would I want to spend my money on someone so rude?!

Technically incapable owner--Avoid this 'chop shop' "I had…read morean appalling experience with the owner. He is technically incompetent and admits he prioritizes volume over quality. * The 'Haircut': He completely ignored my instructions and essentially chopped my hair into two disconnected parts (top and bottom) with zero blending. It doesn't even qualify as a professional cut. * The Attitude: When he tried to 'fix' it, he complained I was 'taking too long' and blamed me for other customers leaving. He literally told me: 'You should be going to a studio, not coming to my place.' * Zero Care: He left me with hair clippings all over my face and in my eyes, rushing me out the door. * The Cost: I paid $60 for a ruined head of hair, and despite his rudeness, I still tipped $6 just to be the bigger person. By his own admission, this isn't a professional studio; it's a place that just churns through as many people as possible for money. I'm posting photos so you can see the 'two-part' hack job for yourself. Do not go here."

I was referred to the owner "Lil". After her reassurance that she was capable of cutting my hair I made an appt with her.

I had to wait six months for my hair to grow out to the preferred length!

I was greeted as soon and I walked in and shown over to the coffee area where they have cups to indulge in tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. The teas were nice brands and the hot chocolate was nestle. It was a nice little self serve station. In no time at all, Dina was ushering me into her chair. She talked with me about what I wanted, and worked with me to iron out the details. During the cut she kept up friendly conversation with me, and stayed focus on my hair. Throughout the whole thing, she was very meticulous (something I appreciate with stylists), and threw in explanations for what she was doing and what I would do for my hair each time she moved on to a new part. My hair came out beautiful, and I am so very happy with her cut. She also showed me some different ways I could style it, and made a few suggestions for other work if I was interested (but wasn't pushy at all about it, just recommendations on how enhance things I pointed out I liked). I would highly recommend her.
