Her Texturizing skills are amazing even on my fine hair! The cut she gave me brought back my confidence! She gave me tips on how to style my new cut.

I've been going to Nancy since summer of 2021. When I first went to her, I have to say, I've been…read morehaving a difficult time with my hair. After about 6 months after my first haircut with her, and the tips she's provided, my hair is low key thriving! Let's start off with location... She's located downtown Hayward off B Street. Although, parking kinda sucks, and it is the Main Street with so many cars, her place is so cute! Inside her place, there plenty of seating, and a lot of chairs available. For the most part, whenever I go see her, I'm probably the only other client inside - just incase you guys get nervous for Covid reasons. Nancy is so welcoming. She starts off asking you what you want to do with your hair, and she observes and starts framing your face to see if you would like it and gives out suggestions as needed. Then she washes your hair, and then she begins the cut. She's so knowledgable in the industry. She given me helpful advice on how to maintain my hair. For reference, I've always had to wash my hair daily because it's always getting so oily. So she's given me tips on how to prevent it. And after 6 months of following tips, and seeing what works for me, my hair is fuller, healthier, and thriving as I've mentioned. She also sells products in house just in case you want to obtain professional items. I highly recommend her. You won't regret it.

It was my first time dying my hair at Jim's…read more Tracy did partial highlights all over my head. It came out beautiful. Loved her work so much!

Jim and his team at Jim's Hair Salon are wonderful. I recently went in for a corrective balayage…read morewith highlights and babylights, and they spent several hours carefully working on my hair. What impressed me most was his attention to hair integrity. Instead of trying to push my hair too far in one session, he was very honest and set realistic expectations based on my previous color and the condition of my hair. I originally wanted a very creamy pale vanilla blonde. Jim explained how far we could safely go in one appointment without risking damage or breakage. I really appreciated that honesty, because protecting the health of my hair was clearly his priority. Even though we couldn't go all the way to my final goal in one session, he absolutely set me up for success. The result is a soft dimensional blonde that looks beautiful and natural, and interestingly my hair actually seems to look lighter and brighter as the days go by, especially when sunlight hits it. Jim clearly plans the process in stages. I will most likely return in a couple of months for baby highlights to brighten the crown and continue moving toward the creamy vanilla tone I ultimately want. The salon itself is also a great environment. Jim and his staff are friendly, welcoming, and professional, and you can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the health of their hair. Overall I'm extremely happy with the result and very grateful for Jim's skill and honesty. If you're looking for balayage, blonde highlights, or color correction in the area, I highly recommend Jim's Hair Salon. I also strongly recommend calling and making an appointment. Although they will take walk-ins, you just never know when somebody - who already has an appointment - is getting a corrective balayage with highlights and babylights and is hogging up all their time. LOL

That step saved a lot of time, which mattered since I went on a weekday during my lunch break. On the day of the appointment, Annabelle greeted me warmly.

This review is for Libby…read more I've been seeing Libby for over two years and actually travel back to the Bay Area just to have my hair done by her - that's how good she is. She's a true color magician. She helped me transition through the awkward grey stage at exactly the right time, and later brought me back to light brown in a way that blends beautifully with my fast-growing greys and grows out naturally without constant upkeep. The moment I knew I could fully trust her was when she gave me a short haircut, something I'm usually very hesitant about and absolutely nailed it. Finding a stylist who is genuinely excellent at both color and cutting is surprisingly rare, and Libby is both. She listens carefully, understands the science behind how color and texture behave, and designs styles that actually look great as they grow out not just the day you leave the chair. She's also warm, funny, and incredibly easy to be around. Even my husband, who normally avoids hair maintenance altogether, got a cut from her and loved it. If you care about grey transition, natural grow-out, or just want low-maintenance hair that still looks polished, Libby is the one.

I'm writing this review for my mom (she has dementia)and these are my thoughts and observations…read more For one, this was the first time here because my mom's hairdresser lost her place in Dublin, so she found a stall here. Anyways, the place itself is pretty convenient since it's located by the freeway. The place is surprisingly pretty big and spacious and my mom's hairdresser is always patient and polite. I will admit probably for my mom's next visit I'll have to stick around a tad longer and help my mom and her hairdresser when my mom gets her hair washed. So not everything there is I guess ADA available, but it's a minor thing for now since my mom has very limited mobility but can move with some assistance. As for the hairstyle, mom is always happy and I personally think makes her feel as normal as she can get these days and being content let alone having another outside interaction besides with me is always a good thing!

This is actually my 2nd visit and Lien definitely knows what she is doing…read more I'm the type of person that will usually stick to only one hair hairdresser/stylist whenever I needed to get a hair cut. My hair is long, but it isn't completely straight like most common Asian hair. My hair had gotten to the point where I really needed a trim to get rid of a lot of the split-ends, but I didn't have time to drive all the way into SF (where I use to live before moving to Hayward) just to visit my usual hairdresser/stylist. I contacted Lien via text and she was super responsive. I was also able to schedule an appointment with her the next day during the afternoon. Not only that, Lien is super nice and friendly! She listened to my concerns about my hair and made sure everything was to my liking before I left. Great person and great service. I will definitely be contacting Lien as my go-to from now on!

I was told they could achieve the same result. However, the final outcome was completely different from what we agreed on. The color was not the same, the style was uneven, and my hair ended up damaged. I paid almost $400 for this service, expecting professional results, but the quality did not match the price at all. At the very least, I would have appreciated honesty if the desired result was not achievable. I left feeling very unhappy with the service, and now my hair needs repair. I hope the salon takes this feedback seriously and improves their services. (By the way Amber Lopez is the one who dyed my hair.)

My hair hasn't been touched in a while and I have thick Asian hair with a sensitive scalp. She did highlights on the top of my head, and the whole process didn't feel rushed at all -- we even finished faster than I expected. The salon setup is super welcoming. I was greeted right away by Janet and Gorgean, and their customer service was amazing from start to finish. The shop is organized, clean, and has such a warm, inviting vibe. Amber was working next to Paradise and she was a pleasure to chat with. She was doing a cut and styled blowout on another client, and the client looked incredible walking out. Overall, the atmosphere of the shop and the quality of everyone's work make me want to come back and get more done. Highly recommend!
