This review is for ISIS- I have a girl who I trust with my haircuts wholeheartedly but I haven't found somebody I trust coloring my hair UNTIL NOW! After researching salons in my area I came across Limon. I checked out their yelp and Instagram to see their work. My first consultation was with Kimmy but she referred me to Isis. After my consultation I was nervous but decided to have faith and went forward with my appointment one week later. I haven't had my hair colored since Oct 2024. I let my roots grow out but the bottom portion of my hair was still blond ish. My natural hair color is dark brown and I wanted to go 2 to 3 shades lighter with subtle highlights throughout. I showed inspo pictures as a reference but most of it was verbalizing what I wanted. I was in the chair from 10:30 AM to 4:50PM. It was worth it because now I love my hair! I haven't loved my hair in a long time-thank you Isis! The woman at the front desk is very friendly and offers you something to drink when you check in. The salon is well kept and pretty big inside. Plenty of parking in the back with spots reserved for Limon customers. For those curious about pricing-my service was $540 read more

Coming back to write an update. How can I say I love this salon even more? Got my haircut by Angela 2 months ago and now came back for a complimentary bang trim. It's so nice to see the salon decorated for the holiday with the Christmas tree filled with teddy bears, adds to the warm ambiance. I was greeted by the front desk and they offered me a complimentary drink. I had a hazelnut coffee. Everything is so well done from start to finish, the experience is one all on its own. I also got some hair products that Angela introduced me to and gave me samples the first time I was here. I bought Innersense products for 20% in their Black Friday sale. I ordered them online and set them for pick up. Angela freshened up my hair and she noticed an improvement in my wavy hair and that's really all due to the tips she gave me when she did the curly haircut. She took her time in cutting the bangs and even styled it. She's so sweet and enjoys talking to you while you're in the chair. She's also very good at cutting wavy hair (hard to find someone who can do this well). Limon Salon just got voted the Best Salon in the Silicon Valley, and you can see why! Even though it took me 30 minutes to drive here in bad Bay Area traffic, it was worth it! I already scheduled my next curly haircut for the new year. read more

Limón Salon - The cute Christmas tree in the salon! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I have been going to Limon Salon since November of 2024, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. After countless hours of research and wanting to find a place which knows how to deal with curly hair, I found Limon. I bookmarked it on Yelp and counted the days to my very first appointment. & wow, it did not disappoint. To begin, the salon itself is wonderful, the space and vibe is extremely welcoming. Everyone is kind, and always offering drinks or light snacks which is a sweet touch... I highly, highly recommend Karla! She has always done such an extraordinary job with my hair, and is super knowledgeable of what we can do with it since I am always wanting to try a new shade of red at almost every appointment. When I arrived for my very first appointment, my hair was DARK BROWN! She took my Inspo images, and landed it in the most stunning hair color I have ever had in my life. Not only that, but she has also done an incredible job with cutting and layering my hair. I have very thick, curly hair, like... a lot of hair, so it had always been a struggle for me to find someone who knew how to cut it. She puts so much attention into every detail, making sure we both love and are happy with the end result. I've always been more than satisfied with every appointment we've had, and I think Limon Salon is definitely the place you should go. If you've been thinking about it, let me tell you, it's soo worth it! read more

This is my second time at Limon salon. It's very cute and clean. They offer complementary drinks and snacks. Their stylist range from $110-150. You pay ahead of time online and have the option to tip with your card at time of payment or after. Their stylists are knowledgeable and give tips on how to care and style hair. I will be coming again! read more

This is my first time going to this salon and hands down absolutely love this salon. I got layered hair with light wispy bangs with 90s inspiration on my straight-wavy mid length hair and it looks amazing. I went home and the next day when I showered it looked so good even unstyled. I went to Kimi! and she provided such good service and complimentary drinks and a fun conversation! So friendly and my hair smells so good! Im excited to come back again soon :) read more

I've been coming to Martha for a while now and she never fails to do an amazing job. She is so genuinely kind, considerate, and amazing to work with! She takes the time before every appointment to sit with you and consult about your hair and desired result, and she always prioritizes your wishes while giving you her expert input. I always look forward to our appointments! Also the salon gives you yummy drinks and snacks, the vibes are amazing. Can't recommend Limon enough read more

I have been here twice in the past 4 months to get haircuts by Vanesa and I have absolutely loved the outcome each time!!

I've come back twice more since my last review, so wanted to update this! My last two sessions were with Alyssa. HAIRCUT: I had a lovely haircut by Alyssa in April, and my results are still stellar in August. The layers are visibly present, the hair feels healthy and light. I'm really impressed and already have my next haircut booked with her in October! SERVICE: She's great at making conversation, chatting, and making you feel welcome in her chair. I felt very pampered and relaxed throughout both sessions. CUSTOMIZATION: The best part about Alyssa, for me, was her attentiveness. I was experiencing a scalp issue this summer so I reached out to her on Instagram. She was able to design a treatment for me that felt wonderful and has really helped fix some issues with my hair. She also gave me samples to take home and overall gave a lot of attention to my issue. I'm really grateful to have found Alyssa! read more

Always the best time when I see Cecilia! Love coming to her for a haircut! She pays so much attention to detail and is so easy to talk to! Such a chill vibe. read more

I had the pleasure of seeing Kimi yesterday, and I can confidently say she is one of the most honest and genuine hair specialists I've ever encountered. From the moment I sat in her chair, I could tell she wasn't just another stylist looking to make a quick sale--she genuinely cared about the health of my hair and my overall experience, both inside the salon and after I walked out the door. Over the years, I've had many salon experiences where stylists were quick to tell me everything was fine--even when my hair was clearly thinning or falling out more than it should have been. They'd reassure me it was "normal" and proceed with dyes, highlights, bleach--whatever I requested--without truly considering the long-term damage. Unfortunately, I'd often leave those appointments thinking everything was okay, only to experience even more hair loss in the weeks that followed. It became a cycle of frustration, regret, and emotional stress, especially as a woman who simply wanted to feel confident and look her best. But Kimi was different. She took the time to assess the condition of my hair thoroughly, asked questions, and listened to my concerns with compassion and empathy. She acknowledged the hair loss I was experiencing and, instead of brushing it off or suggesting a treatment that could worsen it, she was upfront with me: chemical processing at this time could do more harm than good. She explained everything clearly and gave thoughtful recommendations to help restore my hair's health before considering anything more aggressive. That honesty meant everything to me. Kimi wasn't focused on making a sale--she was focused on building trust. She understood, woman to woman, how deeply personal and emotional hair loss can be. We all want to look and feel good, and hair plays such a huge role in that. She didn't minimize my concerns or try to upsell me on expensive treatments. She made me feel seen, heard, and respected--something that's surprisingly rare in the beauty industry. I told her I'd follow her advice and try the products and strategies she recommended. Once my hair feels stronger and healthier, I'll absolutely be back to see her. It's not easy to find someone in this industry who leads with integrity and honesty, but Kimi does--and that alone speaks volumes about her professionalism and character. When someone cares more about your well-being than your wallet, you know you've found a real gem. I left that salon feeling hopeful and empowered, not just about my hair but about finally having found someone I can trust. If you're looking for a stylist who genuinely has your best interest at heart, I cannot recommend Kimi enough. She is thoughtful, knowledgeable, honest, and kind--qualities that make her not only a talented hair specialist but also a truly compassionate professional. Thank you, Kimi, for being a rare light in this industry. I'm so grateful I found you, and I look forward to coming back when the time is right. read more

Absolutely obsessed with my hair. The rose gold tones are perfectly blended, soft, dimensional, and exactly what I envisioned (if not better). The color looks natural but elevated, and the finish is extremely glossy. You can tell real skill and intention went into every step. I walked out feeling like that girl. I'll definitely be back to see Abri because she's the best! read more

I've always wanted to try this salon, recommended by a friend. Abri did a great job with my haircut!

Martha was amazing as usual. Service is always great and everyone is super friendly. My hair has been amazing since Martha became my stylist and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone. If you're looking for a new stylist, this is definitely the place to go. read more

Maura is always so kind and sweet. She truly brings my vision to life and knows exactly what decisions to make when I'm unsure. It's absolutely worth the drive from Vallejo -- I always leave feeling confident and my absolute best. Highly recommend read more

I had a complicated request- I have really short curly hair from chemo and wanted extensions while waiting for it to grow back.I trusted the stylist when she said she could make it happen. What she gave me was highlighted straight extensions on my dark brown (she dyed it too dark) curly hair. I look absolutely ridiculous and am stuck like this until they grow out. I talked to the salon about how to remedy the situation and all they offered was to dye the extensions to match my color. While that would help a little, there's still the issue that my hair is incredibly curly and does not blend in AT ALL with the straight extensions. They told me to use hot tools. My hair is fragile and I'm trying to grow it back and all they could think to say was "use hot tools" (which aren't even working because my hair is too curly.) the total cost of my visit was around $2500. Complete waste of money. I would not recommend this salon at all. read more

Abriana did amazing job with the long layered cuts for my really long hair. She carefully listened to my request and double checked with me on face cut curtain bangs length. Abriana gave me amazing makeover which I was looking forward to. read more

Headline Idea: Found my new regular stylist! Review Text: "I am so glad I found Karla! Choosing a new stylist can be nerve-wracking, but she made me feel comfortable right away. She is a true pro who really knows her craft when it comes to hair--my cut and color turned out perfectly. It was my first visit, but certainly not my last. If you're looking for a skilled stylist who is also a lovely person, go see Karla!" read more

I went in last week for a follow up trim with Madison. With my birthday coming up, I wanted add additional face framing. She was very receptive to my request and it was even better than the last! Salon vibe is very friendly and relaxing. I'll be coming in later this month for a root touch up and gloss. read more

I needed a new haircut badly, and a friend of mine recommended a stylist here. It was easy to book an appointment online. If booking an appointment with a credit card, there is a 3.5% fee. No fee with a debit card. Checking in was easy. Walk up to a tablet and enter your name. There's a small waiting room with product for sale along the walls and a couch that could seat 3. The vibe doesn't feel uppity or snobbish, which is refreshing for someone like me. My stylist was very attentive and asked questions to give me haircut ideas. She put some products in my hair to deal with my dry scalp before shampooing and conditioning my hair. After about an hour and a half, she was done with my hair, and I couldn't have been happier. Destiny is probably the best stylist I've had! Oh, and they offer all kinds of beverages from water to tequila! Highly recommend your next do here! read more

I loved my haircut with Gabriela! This was the second haircut that I got at the salon and it feels like such an amazing experience. Gabriela is such a fantastic hairstylist that really listens to my concerns and cut off exactly what I wanted. It's been really hard to find a hair service that really listens, and I truly found that with Gabriela. I did a smoothing consultation and she gave me options and told me to research them even before booking the service with her which I really appreciated. I have my smoothing appointment in a couple of days and I'm so excited! Shout out, Gabriela!!! read more

Alyssa will forever be THAT GIRL when it comes to executing a vision for my haircuts. She's basically my fairy godmother when it comes to haircuts haha. My hair was looking super flat. It was in need of layers and volume & that's exactly what I got. No gatekeeping here - will always recommend Alyssa & Limon salon for the incredible talent and amazing vibes ‍ read more

One of the best salon for curly hair in Bay Area. I went in to get a curly hair and Angela did an amazing job at that. She made me fall in love with my curls again. Highly recommended!! read more

After the gorgeous blow out and great lighting your hair will not look better than a Supercuts hair cut. If you have to explain every single thing to the salonist they're not good at their job. My first haircut with Bianca was amazing but the second haircut with junior stylist was literally so bad. I was able to get it fixed by one of the more experienced stylists (within 10 days they acccomodated me) but it's still not the best. I don't know if it's because the first stylist messed it up so bad or what. I'm not upset about the price but how my expectations were not met. I don't know how this is the best in the Bay Area but the standards must really low. The staff are really sweet and the front desk is so nice. I feel bad for writing this review but I feel like the people need to know read more

If you are looking for top notch service please get your haircut with Kimi! I've been going to Kimi since last year after going to several salons when my go to place moved out of the area. She is so down to earth, professional, and just a pleasure to work with. I've been happy with every single appointment because she truly takes care of customers and makes sure they always feel and look their best when they leave. Kimi also takes the time to help me understand how she's going to achieve the look I want and helps gives me tips to style after. Adjusting as she goes so it's perfection by the time I leave. She's shared with me her experiences back when COVID really made business like hers struggle and endure those tough hard months but coming back to a FULL and BUSY salon and seeing her booked shows her tenacity and dedication to her craft. I didn't normally book appts in advance with my prior salon as I only just felt to go in once I felt like it, but with Kimi after my first appointment, I've made sure to book my next appointment before I leave. See you in 3 months Kimi! Thank you for helping me maintain my hair! read more

I had my second hair cut with Priscilla, and I'm super happy !! she is awesome and listens to exactly what you want.

Great experience with Destiny -- never felt rushed, and I really appreciated the consult conversation and education around my options. Thoughtful color, haircut, and treatment. Walked out feeling like a million bucks. The salon itself has a great vibe -- comfortable, luxe, and beautifully done. read more

I just wanted to state that Maura was very nice and explained every question that I had. This was my first time getting bangs and I was going back and forth about it. She explained she could start off longer and go shorter. At the end I asked if I should cut more off she said she doesn't recommend it which I am so glad she said that because I am leaning more to growing them out right now. But I liked the fact that I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new. I definitely recommend her! She was super nice and explained every question and didn't go too short as well. read more

My refresher haircut with Gabriela went amazing as usual. My hair was feeling lived in, weighed down, and I only wore it in a ponytail since it was so heavy but Gabriela worked her magic and I left feeling ready for the summer!! It's super light and bouncy and has so much more movement now. read more
