    I just got my keratin extensions done for the second time, and I'm so happy with how they turned out! My stylist is fantastic--super quick to respond and always provides great service. I've never been disappointed, and I totally recommend him if you're looking for awesome hair!

    artistry

    joseph is pure alchemy. i came in with a vision, bold, rich, multidimensional red, and he brought it to life with such precision & artistry. he added custom-blended tones and extra hair to sculpt a look that feels cinematic, sensual, and wholly me. the way the color shifts in the light, the seamless blend, the movement; it's giving goddess in a pop dreamscape. thank you, joseph, for your magic. for understanding the assignment and the myth. i'll be back.

    Hair

    Got extensions for the first time and was patiently guided through the processes and ordering hair. I wanted them for a special occasion/season (my wedding) and my hair turned out to be everything I wanted! Price was comparable to market. I felt very well taken care of and comfortable every visit. Clean and professional atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    I have been seeing Joseph for haircuts and color since 2018 and never looked back! Joseph has wonderful attention to detail and knows exactly how to provide the look you are going for. He has transformed my hair from box dye black to a beautiful ash blonde that I consistently get compliments on. Plus, my hair has never been damaged despite the bleach or color since Joseph does such a great job with bayalage. When I wanted warmer tones in my hair, Joseph also blended that beautifully too. My hair is 3a/3b curly, and he cuts my hair in such a way that it looks great both curly or straightened. He also always uses the latest in hair products. Location is conveniently located near Montgomery, with nearby parking lots and BART stations.

    Joe is the besssst stylist I've found! He does an amazing job and has such a natural sense of style and adventure. He's cut my hair 3x and has done balayage twice and it always looks great and I get tons of compliments. He's also a really nice, fun guy.

    Love love love exactly what I wanted. Joseph listen to what you want and executed perfectly. I am so happy I found him!!!

    Update: 8 months later, and the balayage blended so nicely I didn't *need* to come in for a touch up, but I did anyways because I wanted to try something a bit lighter, which I also love :). I have to say, I really love how my hair grew out (both cut and color) and that speaks highly of Joseph's styling! Very pretty and low maintenance, which is just what I wanted!

From there, we did an 10 hour transformation going blonde and honestly, that appointment bonded us for life. I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!
