    Vanessa Vanessa Vanessa! Vanessa is super friendly and down to earth (...and she's pretty cute!) You basically sit down, start having a great conversation with her, and before you know it, you walk out with rockstar hair. She specializes in edgy hair cuts and seems to have a lot of male clients. There was no problem even though I have thick asian hair. I always say "I trust you, do whatever with my hair. I want something crazy and different." She didn't even hesitate. It turned out amazing, I love it! I went to Tangerine for two years before I made the switch. Vanessa said she actually worked there for 4 years, so the edgy cuts made sense. Tangerine is a bit notorious for being pretty snooty, so come to Vanessa if you want an edgy haircut you'd get at Tangerine but without the snooty-ness. Vanessa doesn't do walk-ins and she books her own appointments so you'll need her cell number. And starting March I think she said, she'll only be available for a couple days during the week. Two things to not do. (I did both...) - It's a house, but don't ring the doorbell. Just walk in and turn left. - Don't stand at the reception desk, there isn't a receptionst. Peek in and look for your stylist and let her know you're there. Anyways, so this place might be a little different than what you're use to. The atmosphere is home-y compared to other salons. It's pretty much a house and all the stylist work for themselves. When you get there, there won't be a receptionist or anything. Certain stylists will book their own appointments so if you call Headcase, they'll give you the number. Check out the Headcase website, there's stylist biographies and see which one fits you best.

    Wedding updo (and color) by Vanessa Castillo
    Michelle S.

    This 5-star review is only for Vanessa Castillo, not for the salon. She is simply the best. She has been cutting and coloring my hair for approximately 10 years now, and I'm always receiving compliments. She definitely knows how to cut and style my thin hair, and she's been able to color my hair so many different ways over the years. Vanessa is all about her clients and goes out of her way to make sure we're happy with her work. You can tell she loves styling hair! It's also great that's she's so fun and easygoing. It's not easy to find a hairstylist like her! Most recently, she did my hair for my wedding. She's done an updo for me before when I was a bridesmaid. Vanessa made my short hair looks voluminous and long, all curled up. So, I knew from that experience she would make my wedding hairstyle amazing. At the trial, she spent her time curling, teasing, and pinning it to get it how I wanted. On the day of my wedding, she made my updo so beautiful and exactly what I wanted. It stayed in place all day and night, and everyone kept complimenting me on my hairstyle. She also did the updos for about 4 of my bridesmaids and their hair looked lovely as well. Don't hesitate to trust Vanessa with you hair!

    Beautiful,  even sunkissed  ash highlights and Olaplex Hair treatment!  Loooks so natural!  LUV IT!!  Thanks Stefanie!

    This specific review is for Stefanie Dimeo. I have been looking for a new stylist for a couple years and I know I have found her. Women tend to be pretty picky & crazy about our hair...as we should be right? First about the beautiful salon. Which is a beautiful yellow Victorian house just 2 blocks from Santa Clara St. North of downtown, has immediate access to Highway 87, easy access to 280 and 101 and minutes to airport. The salon is beautifully decorated & is very inviting with free parking behind the house . I was referred to Stefanie by my daughter Nicole. I was told she gets very booked up & I quickly made my appointment cause I could not wait to meet her as my daughter raved about her and shown me her work on Pin interest. I came to Stefanie with some highlights that were a mess, uneven & dull color. I always feel like stylists color my hair how they feel they want it. I prefer my highlights to look natural & sun-kissed not chunky or reddish. Stefanie listened carefully and suggested an ash color highlights, Olaplex treatment & a trim. I loved that she sounded so confident and excited to do my hair. Exactly what I asked for... is exactly what I got- so impressed!!!. From start to finish my experience was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, organized, relaxed but professional, great vibe! I have been getting lots of compliments on my hair and how natural and healthy my hair colors looks. She is a true colorist! Not only does she have excellent stylist skills, but she is very upbeat and fun to talk to, its almost like hairapy!! My hair has not looked this beautiful/health(Olaplex treatment) in years! Thank you Stefanie!!!

    Love my hair! Hair by Priscylla
    Ravi G.

    Priscylla is one of best hair dressers I've ever had! An Indian girl with long untamed hair (aka myself) is very picky about my hair. She first gave me a great haircut that was still long but had shape and looked healthy. She consulted me on how I should do my hair as I just wanted to go lighter but still be maintainable. She talked me through the process and ensured me I wasn't going to go where I didn't want to with my color. She was friendly, a great conversationalist, and a genuinely really nice person. And on top of all that extremely patient with my long thick hair. I would highly recommend her and the salon. Great atmosphere great music and friendly staff. And in the end I LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair. Thank you priscylla!

    Stephanie Garcia did an excellent job dying my hair and shaving star designs!
    Jeremy L.

    I visited Stephanie Garcia at Headcase Salon for the first time back in June, as I wanted to do something crazy with my hair for Electric Daisy Carnival. I didn't have a definitive vision of how I wanted my hair to end up, except I knew I wanted my hair to be colored deep-pink, with stars and shooting stars outlined into my hair in different colors. (Look at the pics, they are AWESOME!!!) Stephanie and I had been in touch prior to my appointment, and I shared with her google images of star shaped designs I found appealing. This gave her a basic idea of what I was hoping for. However, I knew I wanted a different variation. Stephanie was well prepared by the time of our appointment and had already created some star-shaped stencils. After bleaching my hair, Steph began shaving the star designs into each side of my head. I trusted her right away, and gave her complete artistic and creative freedom of which designs to use on each side. The result was excellent! I must have been stopped at least 20-30 times each night of the festival, people complimenting me and wanting to take pictures with me. Even now that I've had my haircut since, there's still some pink remaining on top of my head and looks great. I plan to keep dying my hair every 2-3 months just to keep my look fresh and exciting! Headcase's decor is visually appealing and a relaxed atmosphere. Parking is easy, and there's wine/beer and snacks on site as an added bonus. But most importantly, Stephanie is sweet, personable, and is passionate about being a stylist!

    A line hair cut!  Love it.

    Extremely happy with my hair by Rachel Rodriguez. She did an amazing job. I was nervous at first because my hair was really long, about to my lower back but I had to just bite the bullet and cut it. I was thinking about it for a couple of months but felt like if I kept over thinking it I would never do it. I came across Headcase on yelp. I am not disappointed at all. She really took her time on my hair. I've received tons of compliments on my hair thanks to Rachel. I love it! Will definitely be a repeat client!

    Updo by Mallory! Wonderful stylist.
    Brandy D.

    I was in need of an updo for my bridal shower. It was difficult finding a good salon who opened early enough for me. I needed my hair done by 9:30 am!! I forgot who answered the phone, but she was awesome and called me back within 5 minutes to tell me Mallory can come in early at 8:30 am to accommodate me! I called the day before so I wasn't expecting them to take me but they exceeded my expectations. My hair came out fabulous. Everyone complimented me! Thanks Mallory ;) The service was awesome. I love the decor and the style of the salon. The Victorian home is perfect for a salon!! I had a great experience when it comes to customer service and my updo! I didn't ask how much it was, I just needed my hair done. So when I paid I was a little sticker shocked but It was well worth it!! Of course I tipped, as it was well deserved!

    Veronica A.

    If you love BOLD, VIVID, DIMENSIONAL colored hair, go see my girl Stef. She's been working her hair magic on me for almost 4 years now, and I wouldn't ever let another soul near it. She knows what I want, even when I myself don't know what I want! I went to her last week asking for a pink that's not too red, with very little purple (I don't even know, I was in a mood) and it was a super important appointment because I'm getting married in two weeks. Stef kinda chuckled at me but still gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for. I love that she takes her time--I'd rather sit in her chair a little longer so that I have an amazing result, than have a rushed job that I'm not happy with. Stef is also very down to earth and a pleasure to know :) She keeps it 100 and would never compromise the health or integrity of your hair (or let you get a color that doesn't match your skin tone). She's a life saver!

    After:left | before: right. Thanks again Stacy!
    Janelle H.

    After seeing all the wonderful results people shared here on yelp I decided I had to get my hair dyed here for the first time in 4 years by the owner Stacy, and I have never felt more fabulous! She was super sweet and was able to recreate exactly what I wanted with my hair. Its nice to have found a place/person with fantastic customer service that is dedicated to listening and undertanding what their client would like. Plus the setup is welcoming and cute. I'll be back for my touch up! :)

    Root touch up, partial highlight, and rose gold!!!!

I started going to Simple Hair in 2014 for Japanese hair straightening, and I've been going back every year since. As I've gotten older and started getting more gray hair, they also help with touching up my roots too and I continue to trust them every time! What really stands out to me is their consistency. After all these years, they are just as professional as they were when I first started going. They're always on time, their standards have remained high, and the quality of their work has never gotten sloppy or gone downhill. That says a lot about a business, especially after 12 years. V and Bella are both amazing. They're knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely know what they're doing. There's a reason I've stayed with Simple Hair for so many years. When you find people who consistently do great work and who you can trust with your hair, you stick with them. I definitely have!

Book your appointments in advance if you want to guarantee a time. Will continue to keep coming back! :)
