Michelle did my hair treatment, and I'm definitely super happy with the result! My hair looks so much healthier and shinier now. I loved it so much that I've started doing it every two months! read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Janathom David Salon. I went in for a hair coloring service with Michael and paid $500 in cash and $490 via Zelle. Unfortunately, the results were nothing like what I asked for, and I left extremely unhappy with my hair.i texted her many times but she doesn't refunding the rest of my processing fee I reached out to the salon multiple times asking for a solution or a refund, but I never received any response. This level of unprofessionalism and lack of customer care is unacceptable, especially considering the high price I paid. I do not recommend this salon to anyone who values quality service, professionalism, and respect for clients. read more

Debra is the best hair stylist and such an amazing person that I uplifted every time I have my hair done. Really good vibes and my hair is gorgeous every time. read more

I had the pleasure of having America as my stylist yesterday and I am so happy that I did. My hair hadn't had anything done to it in over a year! I showed her some photos of what I was going for and she worked her magic and made my hair even better than I envisioned! She achieved exactly what I wanted and gave me gorgeous highlights, a great cut, and an amazing style. It was the change I needed. I will definitely be coming back to see America at Jonathan David. read more

Jonathan David Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Palo Alto, California

I couldn't make it to my favorite stylist in time so I bit the bullet and booked the first decent place on Yelp that would take me. Turns out it's Jonathan David with America as my stylist. Boy did I luck out! She was amazing and knew exactly what I was talking about. I vaguely described how I wished my hair would look and she made it happen. I usually ask for shorter layers because I have so much hair but it gets flat and boring again in about a month. America went in and said she'd layer my hair from the underside to thin it a little a still give me a lot of volume. OMG! I did not know this was a thing, and it totally worked. We also had a great conversation about life and family. She paid very close attention to my hair the whole time and never brushed the multiple piercings on my ears (yes, until now it's happened with every other stylist). Price was very reasonable, and is dependent on who you book. read more

Debra, the owner, seems to really care about her business and is extremely easy to talk with. I really appreciated her taking the time to reach out to me after the awful experience I had with the receptionist, whom I think is named, "Addie." (Addie additionally went out of her way to further antagonize me through Yelp). Although I was initially very upset by my treatment, Debra turned it around and made it so that I will want to come back and purchase product from her salon in the future. I believe businesses that treat their customers with this type of respect usually provide the best services since they truly care about their guests' experience. read more

Jonathan David Salon - The lovely receptionist at it again... - Hair Salons Near Me - Palo Alto, California

It is a friendly place, and Debra, the owner, is nice. But that is not why we go for hair services. The salon was highly recommended by my neighbor across the hall, who has since moved back to Minnesota. I went there last May. I have thin, fine hair. Told Debra exactly what I wanted. She scissor-cut it twice and was still not satisfied, so then she razor-cut it. You do not cut thin, fine hair with a razor! It was nothing like I told her I wanted -- guess I was lucky to have hair left at all. Seriously considered shaving it all off when I got home. This was the worst haircut and the most expensive ($85) I have ever had in my life. I must have looked like a deadbeat, because Debra said I had to pay in cash -- that the credit card machine was not working. Interestingly, all the other operators were accepting and processing credit cards. I had planned to pay for the cut with credit and leave a cash tip, but had just enough cast to pay for the cut. Saved me the tip. She kept trying to sell me very expensive products they sold in the salon. When I told her what I use, she said hers were much better. They cost a fortune. I did not buy any. Many people really like this salon. My experience was not good. Hope I live long enough for my hair to grow out to the length it was before. read more

This is an intimate hip salon that I followed my colorist Melissa Cusimano to this year. It's modern and organized and you can tell they're all pros that work there. They have a good high-end selection of hair products available. Melissa is a Master colorist with many years of experience training at DPT salon in San Francisco. She always knows how to adjust and tweak the formula as your needs change. She is fun and I enjoy her services and her keeping me updated on the best options my hair. I have fine, dirty blonde hair, and it always looks FABU thanks to Melissa Cusimano . read more

America was amazing! She toned my hair from brassy blonde to a espresso color. She was so efficient and fast with everything. She was gentle while doing my hair and very professional. I highly recommend her! read more

I love this place :) Cassie always gives me a great short cut and scalp massage. They offer you water when you arrive. This isn't a salon where products are pushed, but they're available. Makes for a good client experience. Conveniently located by California Avenue Caltrain Station with free 2-hour street parking outside. All products are from vegan-friendly lines (R+Co and Kevin Murphy) and not tested on animals. Nice waiting area with a hip/comfy sofa and teal wall paint. Good style and atmosphere. Will be back for my next cut! read more

This is, hands down, the best salon I've ever been to. The environment is relaxed, professional, and FUN!! Debra is not just a hair stylist. She's a true artist. She makes sure I look my best for business and for play. I recommend Debra and this salon to anyone who wants to look their best. read more

Excellent haircut! Debra did a fabulous job cutting my hair. I have curly hair that is difficult to shape, and she did a wonderful job. It looks professional and clean. I would definitely recommend Debra. read more

Claudia is amazing! For months I had been looking for a stylist who could help me find the right look. My first appointment with Claudia was a total game changer. She took the time to talk through what I was looking for and she examined the texture of my hair. She gave me a recommendation and it turned out to be the best haircut I have had. I will never go to someone else. read more

I have been trying to salvage my haircut with Claudia for the last 4 weeks but have reached the conclusion that it's just not salvageable. I have extremely thick, wavy hair, and explained to Claudia that my hair is not easy to work with, I wish she had told me it was outside of her area of expertise. First, she cut it without giving it any shape, so that it ballooned out. When I called her she was nice and gracious about trying to fix it but she wound up just chopping it and turning it into a real mess. What a disappointment. It's also really difficult to get a hold of anyone at this salon, as I was hoping to talk to another stylist but am not having any luck. read more

Nobue at Jonathan David has cut and styled my hair for more than 20 years. Her long-ago employer was YOSH, a famous hairstylist from Japan (who cut/styled my hair for years), and when he retired, he recommended her. She has seen my hair from post-frizzy permanents to graying old age and has been magnificent about working with fading beauty... read more

SVETLANA RYLIN, is the best hairdresser I have ever had! I have been going to her for a little over six years. My hair has never looked better. It is healthy, shiny and moves. SVETLANA, listens and gives advice but ultimately leaves decisions to you, as the client. Many people comment on my hair cut. However they rave about my color! My color is designed for me! And, might I add, I have three colors and it is gorgeous. Lastly, give her a try, if you care about your first impression. Did I mention I drive three hours to SVETLANA. I live in Yosemite and travel down once a month. Thank you, SVETLANA!!! read more

Love this salon. It's bright, cheery and everyone is friendly. Everyone there Is good but Kirsten is the best. She gets to know your hair and will give you her honest opinion on an idea you have, she is always right on these things read more

Fantastic new salon in Palo Alto! Debra is amazing and has been doing my hair for many years! I don't trust anyone but her to do my lowlights/highlights! She is so sweet and takes her time unlike a lot a hairstylists I have been to in the past. Definitely come here if you need a fresh cut and color, in a fun and relaxing atmosphere! read more

Claudia is the best! She used to cut my hair at another salon about 10 years ago, until I moved out of town. I have had lots of just ok haircuts over the past decade, and finally realized that my hair simply has not looked good since Claudia cut it. So, even though I live in Monterey, I made an appt with her - so glad I did! My hair looks amazing again :) I once again have the perfect, effortless curl that only comes with a very skilled stylist. Thank you Claudia! read more

This review is specifically for Claudia Huard! She is amazing and can cut any type of hair. I have extra curly hair and it is super hard to find someone who knows how to cut my hair, but Claudia cuts it just right every time. She also cuts my daughter's hair, which is thick and pretty straight. Again, perfect every time. She cuts my neighbors hair, 3 of my best friends hair...I am telling you....you will never need another stylist once you book with her! AND...she is so nice and intelligent, love talking to her when I'm getting my hair cut! Don't wait...call her right now! read more

Superb. I had dropped in to ask about a specialist for my curly hair, and was immediately introduced to one of their stylists, Claudia Huard. We talked about what I wanted, shared pictures of ideas, and she set an appointment with me for the very next day. Claudia did a fantastic job - I got exactly what I wanted, and she now has a regular client. ^_^ read more

Blake Richard is amazing. He interprets what I ask for and magically achieves that! His cuts and colors are perfect. I get so many compliments. I love coming here! It's relaxing and easy. It's a feel good experience that I love! read more

If you get a stylist you really like, and chances are you will, it's worth putting up with the downscale ambiance (I would not call it friendly or beachy). The walls are an unflattering color to skintones; the painted brick is overly casual; if the pipes were going to be left exposed, they should have been painted the same color as the wall; the floor should probably have been a warm wood color rather than a cold dark brown, and the changing room should have an actual door, not a cheap curtain. And it's so LOUD. The atmosphere is stressful, rather than soothing. On the plus side, the location is convenient and it's usually easy to find parking. read more

This salon has a warm relaxed vibe. And although I am fairly new to it, I have enjoyed my recent visits. I came to Jonathan David Salon following my hairdresser, Svetlana, who I have been seeing for many years. She is a skilled methodical designer, cutter and highlighter who takes into account the quality, thickness and texture of hair...plus takes the time to do a perfect job. read more

I am giving Jonathan David five stars mainly because the highly experienced and very gifted stylist *Claudia* has just moved there from another nearby Palo Alto salon. If you have thick/wavy/curly/otherwise unruly hair like I do, you, like I, probably have a history of receiving truly horrifying haircuts (think "Bride of Frankenstein") by stylists who don't understand thick/wavy/curly hair and cut it as though it is stone straight. I bless the day I found *Claudia*; she really understands hair like ours and is a true artist at cutting it into beautiful shape. I have been a client of Claudia's for several years now and will let no one else TOUCH my hair. I highly recommend her and the Johnathon David Salon! read more
