I was so impressed with my visit here a few days ago. I called last minute hoping that there was…read moreany openings within the next 2 weeks for a bleach and tone and cut. They just had a cancellation and said they could take me in 2 hours. I am very picky about my hair as I have baby fine hair that any accidental cut can lead to a bald spot. I have only ever had 2 other hairdressers I have loved. Diane was AMAZING. She was very concerned about not damaging my hair during the bleaching process and was very sweet. As soon as she washed out the bleach I could tell the platinum was going to come out perfect which never happens. She was also amazing with her cutting skills. She had taken a before and after (I know I was really due for a cut) and I was shocked about just how badly it was needed. Highly recommend her and was very impressed in general. Will definitely be back.

I don't even have words for how happy I am with both of their work. I am 45 and these are the best haircuts I've ever gotten. I'm so glad that they're right down the street from me and I feel like I would be in amazing hands with either stylist. I'm obsessed with how my hair looks.

Loved this appointment! This salon is located near my old apartment and is very nice!…read more The salon is very neat, well lit, stocked with lots of products. This was my first appointment here and I was with the Hair Stylist Danielle. The appointment was long but I loved the amount of care and effort she put into cutting my hair. I wasn't rushed or anything! I had the sudden urge to cut off all my hair into a bob after seeing my current hair in a picture of me in the sun... My hair was BAD .. I could see the color difference between my natural hair growing out and the old bleached hair that I dyed a chocolate brown. I was panicked when I saw this in my picture... It was literally looking at two separate people's hair. YIKES.. Danielle saved the day! I usually have a tough time finding a good stylist but I'm glad I trusted Danielle with this transition from long to short hair. I've never cut my hair this short .. but I was happy about the results!! She did so well!! I loved it! I'll be back soon for a trim!! Glad I found BIBO Salon! Danielle saved the day!

Five stars for Justin!! I am new to the Bay, hadn't yet found the colorist who would understand my…read morehair and the look I wanted. I booked with Justin at Salon 1500 based on reviews. He reached out for a conversation before I came in and I knew I was in good hands. And then I was BLOWN AWAY by what he was able to achieve!! I had expected it would take a few visits to get there. Justin knows hair!! There is a science and an art to color, especially for those of us wanting dimensional color. Justin has both expertise and artistry!! I'm just delighted. I want to also mention that the salon itself is lovely. Spacious and airy, with a sweet back patio. I loved the art, too. The whole experience was uplifting! Justin is easy to talk to, the vibes are chill. I'm including before and after photos in hopes that my review might help someone else in a similarly desperate situation. You can trust Justin at Salon 1500!! He's awesome!!

Hair done by Masooda My experience here was very…read moredisappointing. My hair was 100% virgin hair and had never been dyed before. I naturally have dark brown hair, and I came in with an inspiration picture asking for an autumn copper-brown reddish color. They were very confident that they could make the color I wanted happen, which made me feel comfortable moving forward with the service. After the first round, she was already getting ready to send me home, but I told her I was not happy with the results because my hair barely looked different from when I came in. It stayed mostly the same dark brown, except for some patchy plum-colored areas. I paid $120 for that first service. After I explained that I was unhappy, she recommended bleaching my hair to get me closer to the lighter copper-brown reddish color I originally asked for. What bothered me was that before starting the bleach, she never told me she would also be doing another client's hair color at the same time. While the bleach was sitting in my hair, there was one point where she was away for about 40 minutes. I was so nervous about the bleach sitting in my hair that I actually started a timer myself because I did not want anything to happen to my hair. She was also leaving at other times in between for around 20 to 30 minutes while working on the other client. I really wish my hair had been monitored more closely throughout the bleaching process, especially because of how light it ended up becoming. Instead of the autumn copper-brown reddish color from my inspiration picture, I ended up with orange and blonde hair. I paid another $230 for the second service, bringing my total to $350. I am extremely disappointed that I spent $350, went through two rounds of color and bleaching on previously virgin hair, and still did not receive anything close to what I originally asked for. If you have naturally dark virgin hair and are looking to go lighter, based on my experience, I would definitely not recommend this place.

She's also part of a network of artists who can step in if something unexpected happens, which gave me extra peace of mind leading up to the big day.
