I booked an appointment with Cindy about a month in advance after seeing great reviews and that she specializes in blonde transformations. I'm very picky with my hair and have been blonde for over a decade, so finding a reliable stylist in the Bay after moving from OC was important to me. Unfortunately, the scheduling process was frustrating. The website was confusing if you don't know the exact service names and kept logging me out, so I had to restart multiple times. Communication was also difficult,I had to follow up more than once and even call just to confirm my appointment. The day before, I was told Cindy had an emergency and needed to reschedule. I understand things happen, but I had seen similar reviews mentioning cancellations. We rescheduled, but I ended up getting sick and had to cancel. Getting my deposit back required multiple follow-ups, and I was initially refunded the wrong amount, which I had to correct. They were really apologetic which I appreciated. I can't speak to the actual quality of the hair services, but from a scheduling and communication standpoint, it was a hassle. Since I know I'll need consistent, ongoing appointments as a blonde, I'm really looking for somewhere with easy, reliable booking. Unfortunately, this experience felt too difficult, so I'll keep looking for other options! read more

Got a haircut with Bobbi after a year and a half of my own "maintenance". I was in severe need for someone to clean up my cut, connect the layers, and give me that 90s bombshell haircut without taking off too much. She did a great job, has gentle hands, and my hair has never felt better. read more

I now see Joy at the Salon and she is wonderful! Joy is such a kind hair stylist and she works to make sure you like your hair. She took such good care of me my last 2 appointments with her. She made sure I was comfortable during my haircut as I was nervous about going too short. She fixed all my bad layers and left my hair feeling super healthy. I just visited Joy again for a lightening session and she did a great job! She lightened my hair without causing any damage which I've experienced before. Can't wait to go back to go lighter.

I booked an appointment for a peekaboo and hair cut with Stephanie. Stephanie was great, as she was attentive, patient, and provided excellent consultation. She listened carefully to what I wanted and executed well! The salon itself is very clean and has a cute, modern vibe. The cost for this service ended up a little more than expected since we ended using more bleach, but it was still quite affordable. Overall, my experience with Ivory Salon and Stephanie has been positive and I would definitely go back again. Thank you Stephanie read more

I had such a great experience with Kimberly! I went in for a root touch-up and toner, and she absolutely nailed it. The color is seamless, bright, and exactly what I was hoping for. She really took her time to make sure everything blended perfectly and that the tone was just right. Beyond her technical skills, she made me feel so comfortable in her chair. She listened to what I wanted, gave honest professional advice, and I completely trusted her opinion. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and the health of your hair -- not just the final look. The salon atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing, and I never felt rushed. If you're looking for someone who is detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and truly talented with color, Kimberly is your girl. I'm so happy I found her and will definitely be back! Highly recommend! ‍ read more

I booked a balayage appointment at this salon to treat myself for my birthday and even requested the day off work for it. I've previously seen Priscilla here three different times and always loved my results. Unfortunately, she wasn't available this time, so I scheduled with Cindy L. for 8:30 AM. The day before my appointment, my request was still showing as pending through Vagaro, so I called the salon to confirm. A staff member answered and assured me that my appointment with Cindy L. for the following morning was confirmed. The next morning, I checked my email again just to verify the time before heading out. That's when I noticed an email from Vagaro saying that both the time AND the stylist had been changed -without my knowledge or consent. I reached out and was told I had been moved to another stylist's schedule. The stylist I was switched to, Kimberly, appeared to be new to the salon. I hadn't seen her work before and she had no reviews yet. It honestly felt like my appointment had been reassigned to help fill bookings for a newer stylist. Looking at her portfolio, I also didn't see much experience with blonding compared to Cindy's work, which made me uncomfortable since balayage requires a lot of skill. I asked if I could keep my original appointment with Cindy that morning, but was told she was no longer available. My only options were to keep the appointment with Kimberly or come back the next day to see Cindy. Unfortunately, I work full-time and had specifically taken that day off for this appointment, so coming back another day wasn't possible. Because it was my birthday and I had been looking forward to getting my hair done, I reluctantly agreed to keep the appointment with Kimberly. I texted her to let her know I was on my way. When I arrived, the salon door was locked and no one answered. I waited outside for about 15 minutes and never received a response to my text, so I eventually had to leave. To make matters worse, I still haven't received a refund for the deposit, even though the situation was entirely due to the salon changing my appointment and failing to show up. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. What was supposed to be a birthday treat turned into a frustrating and unprofessional situation. read more

I had a horrible experience here. My appointment was scheduled for 11:00 AM, and I arrived on time. I waited almost 50 minutes before my stylist, Julie, walked in around 12:00 PM. She said that was the time she was told my appointment was, which already put things off to a bad start. I asked for a balayage and specifically requested something low maintenance that I wouldn't have to keep touching up every other month. I was stuck in the chair from 12:00 PM until 7:00 PM, when they closed. That is 7 hours for a balayage, which is absolutely ridiculous and should never take that long. It also did not come out how I wanted it to. She didn't do a terrible job, but after seven hours of nonstop work on my hair, you would expect it to come out perfect, not just mediocre. I definitely am not happy with the results. Because I was in the salon for nearly eight hours straight, my car was towed. I expected the appointment to take 3-4 hours at most, so this made an already horrible day even worse. I watched multiple clients who had appointments before and after me leave while I was still sitting there. I was the last person in the chair when the salon closed. I was kind and patient the entire time and tried to be understanding, but at the end of the day, this was extremely disappointing and frustrating. I wasted my whole Saturday for a mediocre haircut and color. I really do not recommend coming here. Don't disappoint yourself go somewhere else. read more

I came in for a haircut and toner refresh. My usual hair dresser is on maternity leave so I decided to give Ivory Salon a try. I found them on instagram and looked through all their stylists and decided on Stephanie! Overall, my appointment was what I wanted. I was able to get the ashy brown color and cut I requested and I loved her blowout style :) I have to give 4 stars because our appointment started 35 minutes late. I understand clients run longer than expected, but any appointment -- whether it's for hair, nails, doctor's, reservations, etc -- that starts over half an hour late is pretty drastic. Plus, if the tables were turned, I'd have to pay a deposit and forfeit my appointment. Therefore, I think it's fair to give 4 stars. That being said, I still loved the experience overall and would return! Parking is in the building in a garage (all spots that start with "R" are retail). read more

I booked a haircut with Kimberly after seeing her work on Instagram. I wanted to reshape my hair and fix my bangs after a horrible self‑inflicted haircut on a Friday night, and her work seemed to align with what I was looking for. The salon was well maintained, minimalist, and well-lit. Kimberly was very sweet, and we meticulously went over my expectations and concerns before the haircut. The long layers turned out exactly as I wanted, but the bang trim initially shocked me, not because of her, but because I had never seen my bangs above my eyebrows (I've gotten used to it a few hours later). She was able to fix it perfectly, so I hope she wasn't offended haha. The styling was great, and I left the salon with shiny, smooth layers. I'm usually nervous when it comes to haircuts, and Kimberly is a newer stylist at Ivory, but I was quite happy with the results and would come back again! read more

I booked a haircut appointment and added a note that I wanted a bob haircut. On the day of my appointment, they seated me in a chair and the specialist came over to ask what I wanted. I said I wanted a bob haircut. She brushed my hair, then disappeared for about 10-15 minutes. When she came back, she told me she does not specialize in haircuts. I asked if someone else could do it, and she said unfortunately not that day, maybe Monday or the next day with another specialist. She then offered me a discount -- instead of $120, she said I would be charged $85. I agreed, though it was strange because the appointment system had shown $95. When I asked, she explained that different specialists charge differently. On my way home, I called their number to say how disappointed I was. The person on the phone told me that instead of $115, they would charge $85 and also give me some products for the inconvenience. I shared photos of my current hair so they could confirm whether the style could be done the next day. They texted me back confirming it was possible. The next day I returned, and this time it was with Jessica. I waited 5-10 minutes before she came to me. She seemed confident and I thought it would go well. But when she finished, my hair looked messy and unfinished -- not something I could walk out in public with. My hair is thick, but every time I've had it cut in the past, it's been well-organized and neatly straightened. Since it looked unpolished, I asked Jessica if she could straighten it. She reacted as though my request was unreasonable. She straightened it very quickly and lightly, leaving half my hair untouched . When I pointed out that part of it was left out, she tried to pass over it but then abruptly stopped and said, "I'll meet you at the front desk." I left unsatisfied. My hair looked messy and the products I was promised for the inconvenience were never offered to me. Yes, I paid less than originally quoted, but I would have rather paid double the price for a proper haircut. The whole experience -- from the wasted time, to the pricing confusion, to the poor service and dismissive attitude -- was awful. I originally came because of the great reviews, but maybe those are only about one stylist (Stephanie). I am never going back to this salon, and do not recommend it if you want a bob haircut. read more

Service was terrible. When you enter the salon you would think it's a restaurant cos the first thing you see is a table with employees dining. The place stinks of food. Service is bad for the price they charge. As a client I wasn't even offered water. Was told to take a seat while the receptionist went back to eating with the rest of the team. Shampooing doesn't come with a head massage, ok whatever. My hairstylist fingers stink from eating. She probably washed her hands but didn't wash it well. Another hairstylist was wearing sleeveless and had black pits right in the clients face. The fundamental service is just lacking here for the price they charge. The hairstylists who are youngsters by the way lacked professionalism. Go somewhere else. read more

I haven't gotten a haircut in over a year, so I was really looking forward to this, but this visit was so disappointing. None of the workers spoke English, which meant the translation was poor from the very start. Because of that, they basically did not do at all what I asked for. I explicitly requested to take off 4 inches, but they chopped off 7 inches instead. For reference, my hair was down to my waist almost and straight across so I was looking forward to getting some nice layering and a decent trim. (I attached my reference photo vs what I actually got). My hair that I took so long to grow out is now super short. To make matters worse, the whole styling process felt very aggressive and frustrating. I honestly felt like I was being thrown around in the chair and manhandled. They repeatedly poked me in the face with their fingers when moving around my hair and the comb kept getting very close to my eyes... When I finally saw the results, the layering was so uneven it was shocking. I wish I had a better picture, but when I got home I was so saddened by the haircut that I cried out of despair and started aggressively cutting it myself just trying to fix it. I also still can't get over that I basically have less than half of the hair I started with left. Absolutely do not recommend, terrible experience.

Emily at Ivory Salon is absolutely incredible! She transformed my hair with such skill and patience. What impressed me most was how she took her time to ensure the results were exactly what I wanted, never rushing through any step of the process. The atmosphere she creates is just as wonderful as her technical abilities. Emily is genuinely kind and so easy to talk to, making what could have been hours in a chair feel like catching up with a friend. She listened attentively to what I wanted and offered helpful suggestions. The salon itself deserves special mention - Ivory Salon has a beautiful and calm ambience that makes the entire experience so relaxing. Everyone there is friendly, creating a welcoming environment from the moment you walk in. I walked out feeling confident and beautiful, which is exactly what you hope for from a salon experience. I've already booked my next appointment with Emily and can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. If you're looking for a stylist who combines exceptional skill with a warm personality in a beautiful, friendly salon, Emily at Ivory Salon is your answer! read more

I recently had my babylights done by Judy and I am extremely happy with the results! She listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me the perfect blend of babylights. Her attention to detail and skill in coloring is evident in the final product. Not only was she professional and talented, but she also made the experience enjoyable and relaxing. She offered me water and snacks and was also fun to talk to! :) Judy took the time to understand my desired look and she also made sure to check in with me throughout the process to ensure that I was happy with the results. She even helped me tone my hair another time when I wasn't completely satisfied with the results the first time. She also gave me some great tips on how to maintain my babylights at home and recommended specific products to keep my hair as healthy as possible. I left the salon feeling confident and beautiful, and I can't wait to come back for my next appointment! If you're in need of a hair stylist, I highly recommend giving Judy a try - you won't be disappointed! read more

First time trying something new and left my other hairstylist of 7 years due to her not always giving what I wanted. I had such an amazing experience at Ivory Salon in San Jose, especially with my hairstylist Joy! She was so open to listening to and understanding exactly what I wanted for my hair, and she was genuinely so lovely and easy to talk to throughout the entire appointment. She also made sure I was comfortable and taken care of by offering me snacks and water, which I really appreciated. The appointment took about 8 hours and I spent a little over $600, but honestly, it was completely worth it for what I wanted for my hair. Joy executed exactly what I wanted and I absolutely LOVE how my hair turned out! She was patient, attentive, and made sure all of my needs were taken care of. I'm so happy with the final result and the service I received. I definitely recommend Joy and Ivory Salon! read more

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this salon. I went in last night for a haircut and hair coloring, and the result was terrible. The stylist did not listen to what I asked for and showed a clear lack of skill and attention to detail. My hair was cut unevenly, and the color came out completely wrong. Even worse, the chemicals damaged my hair badly--my hair feels burned, extremely dry, and brittle. This experience has caused me a lot of stress and frustration, especially because hair damage takes a long time to fix. I expected professional service, but instead I left with damaged hair and regret. There was no effort to correct the mistakes or take responsibility. I would not recommend this salon to anyone looking for quality or professional hair services. read more

I went to this salon and had my hair done by Jessica. I showed her my inspo pic and she " said she could do it"I clearly told her to cover my roots. If she couldn't do what I asked, she should not have taken me as a client or performed the service. I was charged 500$ and my hair looks nothing like the inspo. It was cut way shorter than requested, and my hair is burnt and damaged. When I asked her to fix it, she refused and still demanded full payment. I contacted management and they were just as bad--unprofessional and unhelpful.

Back to remind you that this salon provides the best quality work in the area. I'm here every 6…read moremonths to get magic done on my hair by Kacie and the incredible team she's meticulously hired and trained herself which includes Misa who I see every few months for a trim. I'm in awe of the powerhouse of assistants she's training up and the other stylists in the shop who've graduated from assistant to stylists with their own chair. I can't express how much I appreciate this salon and its flexibility. I got a notification about my appt two days prior and immediately texted asking if I could switch days knowing it could not happen but thankfully it did! I wasn't worried if it didn't because Kacie and her team are the most accommodating I've come across and I knew it would work out even if it meant having to push my appointment back. Life happens! And its really nice to have a salon that understands that. Came in for my usual root touch up and Kacie had two assistants helping her with my hair. Her most recent hire, Sue, offered to give me a blow out because she loves doing them. What a blessing! I've never had a blow out done before and I felt so special having someone who enjoyed doing it work on it for me. You could tell in the time Sue took that she meant it and even more so when she finally pulled the rollers out. I left absolutely head over heels in love with my hair and the blow out styling. I can't wait to be back in their chair again

UPDATE/RESPONSE TO THE SALON:…read more Their response largely addresses things I already gave Thao credit for while leaving out the biggest concerns I actually raised. Having a text consultation before a $700+ color service and reviewing what will happen on the day of the appointment is completely normal to me. This was my first appointment with Thao, bleach was being put on my hair, and I wanted to make sure we understood each other. Asking questions about an expensive service does not mean that "no amount of time, explanation, or accommodation was enough." The correction was also not something I demanded. Before I even left the salon after my original service, Thao told me that if I was still unhappy with the tone, I could come back within a week and she would adjust it. I gave her credit for that in my original review. But correcting a color that did not initially match what I showed and asked for should not be presented as some extraordinary favor. I also strongly disagree with the implication that I was disrespectful or unkind to Thao. I did not yell, curse, call her names, or use disrespectful language toward her. I was actually very appreciative, which can be seen in screenshots of our texts. Thao has every right to decline service, and based on how firm she is about who she wants in her chair, I genuinely don't believe she would have continued my original appointment for hours, invited me back for a correction, and completed it if I had actually been treating her disrespectfully. She could've declined service at any point. She didn't, because I wasn't rude. During the appointment, I made normal conversation with Thao, complimented her hair, and tried to keep things comfortable. When I returned for my correction, Thao was doing her sisters hair and we were all talking normally. After the correction, I literally told Thao I was happy and that this was the hair I wanted. So I'm confused by the suggestion that nothing was ever good enough for me. My later questions were mainly about maintaining the result, and I was respectful when asking them. I also thanked her for sharing the formula. What their response DOESN'T address is one of my biggest concerns: the physical discomfort. When I expressed how much the aggressive raking through my hair/scalp hurt, Thao told me her nails were "better than a brush or a comb." I find that concerning from a safety and sanitation standpoint. I was repeatedly being scratched/raked across my scalp with long, sharp fingernails. My discomfort was visible enough that she asked me about it, and I specifically told her it was her nails hurting me so bad that I also got a migraine. Whether that conduct violates a specific State Board regulation is for the Board to determine, but let me preface that having long nails itself was never my issue. Using them to aggressively rake through my hair/scalp instead of proper hair tools, especially after I said it hurt, was my issue. Their response also skips over the freezing water, product/color getting on me and my clothing, feeling rushed and uncomfortable, the initial color not matching the inspo pictures I showed from Thao's own Instagram, and the condition of my hair afterward. Instead, their response discusses how "emotionally taxing" the experience was for the stylist. I find that ironic because I was the paying client sitting in the chair feeling physically uncomfortable and intimidated. Thao's communication during my appointments with her came across to ME as closed off, sassy, dismissive and condescending at times. Despite that, I remained appreciative and conversational. Yes, I have reviewed other salons when I felt an expensive service wasn't worth what I paid. Those reviews are genuine and based on my experiences. Hair services are expensive, and I write detailed reviews because if my experience helps someone decide where to spend hundreds of dollars, I'm happy to share it. I even included other local salons in my original review because I want people to find places worth their money. Previous negative experiences elsewhere do not erase what happened during THIS appointment at THIS salon. I am NOT desperate to be in Thao's chair. I chose not to publicly review my original concerns because I liked my corrected color and hoped our communication would improve. Now that there won't be an ongoing stylist/client relationship, I decided to share my full experience. My criticism is simple: the professionalism, kindness, communication, physical comfort and customer service did not match a $700+ service. I wish their response addressed those concerns instead of shifting the focus to my character as a client. Thao can feel I wasn't the right client for her, and I can feel she wasn't the right stylist for me. I stand by my experience. Future clients can read both sides, decide for themselves, and message me through Yelp if they have questions. :)

I usually go to another salon that I really like, but the owner had an unexpected situation and I needed to get my hair done, so I decided to try Big Ben for the first time. I saw many positive reviews for Lyn online, so I felt comfortable booking with her. Ben, the owner, also seems like a genuinely nice person. Unfortunately, my actual experience with the service was extremely disappointing. During the bleaching process, Lyn set a timer in front of me. The timer went off, but she did not come back because she was busy cutting another client's hair. I tried making eye contact with her, but she still did not come over. Quite a while later, she finally came back and told me she had been waiting for the shampoo station. I honestly don't understand why my hair needed to continue sitting in bleach while waiting. After the bleach was rinsed out, I could already tell something was very wrong. When I gently ran my fingers through the highlighted sections, a lot of my hair was breaking off. Lyn told me this was because the hair "molecules" were still open before the color was applied. However, even after the entire coloring process was finished, when she was cutting and combing my hair, I continued seeing a significant amount of the highlighted hair breaking off and falling out. The initial color was also completely different from what I wanted. Some sections looked gray/white and made me feel like I suddenly looked ten years older. She tried to adjust the color afterward, but I ended up spending more than six hours at the salon and still did not leave with the result I had asked for. There are also strange bands near my roots with noticeable orange tones instead of a smooth, blended transition. On top of all of this, a large amount of hair dye was left on the back of my white T-shirt, and the stain will not come out. I was honestly shocked that after the severe breakage, the color issues, six-plus hours at the salon, and my damaged shirt, I was still charged $300 for the "service". I understand that highlights and bleach always involve some level of damage, and I'm not expecting hair to remain completely untouched after lightening. But there is a big difference between normal dryness and watching large amounts of your highlighted hair actually break off while it is being combed. If you care a lot about the health of your hair, I would be very cautious about where you choose to have bleaching or highlights done. Unlike a haircut, you cannot simply redo chemical processing a few days later if something goes wrong--the hair has already been compromised and needs time to recover. Unfortunately, I really regret choosing this salon for my hair this time.
