After showing Yosuke a photo he went to work. During the haircut, Yosuke gave me an arm rest pillow that was very comfortable. After the cut came the shampoo with a nice relaxing neck/scalp massage. I am very happy with my haircut. Parking is in a small underground lot. There's a clear sign to indicate where to exit.

Prices are comparable with other salons in the area. Bora is very sweet and was quick to respond with available dates and times. I did have to book a month in advance and she does not take walk ins since it's one customer at a time. Street parking only which is plenty!

I asked for curtain bangs, face-framing pieces, long layers, a V-cut, and a little trim, and he absolutely nailed it! The salon does have translators available, but I was totally fine without one.

I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you so much, Wilson!! I highly recommend him and will definitely be coming back!

Ako has been my go to for maybe 10 years now. My sister introduced me to her back when she was…read morestill working at another salon. Then followed her when she opened her own salon in Cupertino! Im not one to go to salons and get haircuts regularly, which i probably should do to keep my hair healthy. Heheh but Ako has been great ever since! She is super nice, very sweet, and listens to what I like. Sometimes i let her just decide for me, do whatever she thinks look nice on me with the length we agreed on. I especially love the head massage during the wash and her head spa is great! She makes sure that you are comfortable! She plays nice relaxing music, dims the lights, gives you a blanket, and just gives your space while your hair gets treated during the head spa. Which i very much enjoy! Work and mom life gets very loud sometimes, so i enjoy every bit of quiet I get. I am very appreciative of Ako, the work that she does, and the service that she gives!

There was a bit of a language barrier between my stylist and I but we were able to work around it! Because of that, I unfortunately didn't get his name. Clean environment although it seems that none of the photos from their website are actually theirs? If you do not speak Chinese, BRING PHOTOS! You should bring photos anyways but it will greatly increase the chances that you'll end up with a haircut you like. If you want to be extra prepared, use Google Translate to describe what you specific want from the photos. I provided a photo but also let my stylist know that I'd be willing to listen to any modifications he had for me, hence why the cut is longer than the inspo pic. I'm relatively happy with my hair. I wish there was an option for slightly more time (cut took about 50 mins, scheduled for an hour). My hair is a bit bulky/thick so I would've liked the sides and maybe bangs to have been thinned out a bit. I definitely could've asked but didn't know if it would have been done in the allotted time. Overall, I'd probably be willing to come back!

My hair has definitely grown since my last visit -- I've been taking Nutrafol and it shows -- and Pierce did a great job working with the new growth while keeping my long-term goal in mind. My goal over the next ~6 months is to gradually cut out the existing color in my hair, and Pierce was thoughtful, patient, and honest about the process. The cut and color were done beautifully, and everything feels intentional rather than rushed or over-processed. I really appreciate how he listens, explains what he's doing, and focuses on hair health, not just the immediate result. Clean salon, great energy, and solid talent. I'll definitely be back.

Getting your haircut by David is like playing a game of Russian Roulette…read more To be honest, he has done a decent job in the past, but when he rushes, consider yourself cooked. If you have longer hair, he cannot blend the sides for his life. Currently, my hair looks like the yin and yang symbol due to the lack of gradient contrast from this previous haircut. It looks as if Moses parted the Red Sea on the side of my head. I'm not saying this is not a good barbershop. I'm saying that you need to tell David to lock in otherwise he will make it impossible for you to find/keep a girlfriend.

Mary is always improving her craft from putting in countless hours learning new methods to perfecting the one she uses on me to the point I don't even get any waterfalls in my extensions anymore. I get lots of compliments on my hair and people are shocked when I share I wear extensions because it looks so natural. I've had friends ask me about it and one friend even drives 45 minutes to see Mary now. I moved to SF and I also make the drive to just see her every 10 weeks. Not everyone can do a great job at extensions and not everyone cares as much as she does so the drive is worth it! Highly recommend Parlour 17!
