I never liked following crowds any hooo. I was ready to change up my boring dark hair for some color. Alicia was kind enough to see me after work on a Saturday evening. 2.5 hours later and I am ecstatic on her beautiful work!!!!!! I've had my hair done in salons in San Francisco to New York City and I've never been fully satisfied with how my coloring has turned out. Alicia has given me an ombre which added just the right amount of color and depth that I wanted. I am in love!!! Alicia is your go to girl- she is a sweetheart and a coloring/style queen!!!

Roger took the time to listen to my thoughts and was very respectful of them, but he was also honest about his vision and what he thought would work best for my hair. That balance of professionalism and creativity made me feel completely comfortable trusting him. When he finished, I couldn't stop smiling. I was genuinely shocked at how good my hair looked. I don't think I've ever left a salon feeling this impressed and surprised by the result. For once, I walked out in blissful shock! I even had to FaceTime my girlfriend from the car immediately just to show her how amazing it turned out. If you're unsure what direction to go with your hair and want someone who truly knows what they're doing, Roger is your guy. Highly recommend!

After moving to the Bay Area, it took me a while to find a hair salon. I had a hair stylist I had…read morebeen going to for years in Koreatown and for a while I even planned trips to Los Angeles just to get haircuts from her. However, I knew that I had to find a local go-to hair salon. Many bad haircuts ensued, but for the longest time I just couldn't find a decent hair stylist. I went to barber shops, local salons, etc., but they all did not make the cut. When I first found James on the Yelp app, I was hesitant because of all the previous failures and I was like WTH is an "Aura Zoom"? And, at that time he was renting a station in the back of a beauty supply store over on Oak Grove in Walnut Creek which was kind of weird. Still, I gave him a try and was like, he's pretty good. He actually knew what a fade was. Then James relocated over to a salon off of North Main Street in Walnut Creek when he rented another station and I followed. It was here that I observed his scissor skills improve to an elite level and soon enough he was busier than the owner of the hair salon. Seriously, the dude was working seven days a week. Maybe it was jealousy at the old salon or he just needed his own space, but his move to his very own salon suite co-op space akin to a WeWorks for hair dressers within the W Salon Suites in Alamo has been awesome. Now he has his very own enclosed suite and you can get some coffee at the shared lounge that is usually brewing Philz coffee beans. James is probably the best hair stylist in the East Bay, if not the Bay Area. Give him a try if you want a great cut. He accepts cash, Venmo, and credit cards. BTW, I still have no idea what Aura Zoom means LOL. * English is not his first language, but he speaks it well. He also speaks Korean and Mandarin. * During my most recent visit, he mentioned that he was taking Sundays off. Walk-ins are not accepted and reservations are required. Just give him a call or text. * In this era of being first, I can attest I was his FIRST customer at the current location [mic drop].

The woman who answered was so kind and welcoming. I didn't get her name, but she referred me to Maria and even let me know Maria would be leaving soon--but she was willing to wait for me. Maria went above and beyond. She waited for me, fixed my hair beautifully, and had me in and out in less than an hour. She was professional, talented, and made the entire experience stress-free. Great customer service is hard to find these days, and Hartz & West Salon truly delivered. I think I've found my new salon! Thank you, Maria, and thank you to the kind receptionist for making me feel so welcome. This was on June 19th 2026 sorry for the late post.

sooooo long overdue, here it goes!!…read more I found Krystelle through a few different connections, all of which I trusted so I eagerly booked my first appointment (this was back in 2021?) At the time her studio was just down the street from me in Walnut Creek. Little did I know that I would have amazing hair transformations time after time, AND a lightweight therapist LOL. Since then I've followed Krystelle to her salon(s) in Danville and will certainly continue to her new salon in Alamo. Why?? Well my hair in itself gets SO many compliments. But beyond looking fabulous, Krystelle is so patient and so kind. Sometimes I go in with specific and odd requests, sometimes I have no idea what I want and I just entrust her to do whatever. In either situation, she listens to my needs, my curiosities, all of my random thoughts. She is also an EDUCATOR. She takes the time to tell me why certain things could work/ wouldn't work, and why. So I actually feel more informed about my hair and my hair decisions. I always look forward to those hours in her chair because SELF CARE is the best care and I always feel brought back to life in more ways than one!

This review is LONG overdue!…read more I have been seeing Krystelle Rain regularly for 9 years now. I had previously tried to color and trim my own hair for years, and it was the color and consistency of straw. I was a bit embarrassed for a professional to see the dreadful state my hair was in, but Krystelle was warm and non-judgmental. I'm shy and have a lot of social anxiety, but immediately felt comfortable with her! Her expertise and knowledge were evident, and I felt confident that I was in capable hands. The color process was flawless. Krystelle carefully assessed my hair and recommended a base and highlights that perfectly suited my skin tone. The end result was beyond my expectations! The color was vibrant, beautifully blended, and looked incredibly natural. Ever since, she has never failed to amaze me. I have very fine, prematurely grey hair that is so unmanageable. Every month Krystelle works her magic, and makes me look younger, polished and just much better overall! My hair used to be the bane of my existence, and now I get SO many compliments on how good it looks! Twice in those 9 years I ended up seeing other stylists (Krystelle was on maternity leave) and I was SO disappointed with the results. I don't think I can ever see another another stylist again! For anyone in search of the best hair stylist and colorist, I wholeheartedly Krystelle. Her talent, creativity, and friendly demeanor make for an unforgettable salon experience. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
