My hair before my appointment, grown out and in need of a touch-up.
Yassna A.

Finding a hairstylist you completely trust is rare, and Danny is exactly that person for me. As someone with very long, thick hair, I've had many stylists over the years who complained about how much hair I have or seemed intimidated by it, but Danny has never made me feel that way. Every time I see him, he blends my balayage beautifully and seamlessly. He never rushes the process and always takes the time to make sure my hair turns out exactly the way I envision it. What impresses me most is how well his work grows out. Months later, my hair still looks amazing, and I don't always feel like I urgently need a touch-up because the blend is that good! Beyond his talent, Danny genuinely cares about the health of my hair and always takes the time to make sure I leave feeling confident and happy with the results. He even provides honest recommendations that prioritize the long-term health of my hair. If you're looking for someone who's skilled and consistently delivers beautiful results, Danny is the one!

Sky was really awesome with cutting & styling my hair. She was very nice took her time with my hair. The atmosphere was relaxing. I really enjoyed my experience with this salon.

Haircut by Glory
Chastity V.

I needed a haircut for my friend's wedding, and Glory did a phenomenal job! I told Glory that I wanted to add some texture and shape to my hair, and she did exactly that, and helped advise on what kind of layers I should get. I'm so happy with the layers she gave me, and I felt fabulous coming out of the salon. Glory was a great listener, kind, and so easy to talk to! As a first time client at the salon, she also gave me a free hair treatment. I love the overall vibe of the salon. It's incredibly clean, well designed, and well decorated, with lots of space. I also appreciate being offered a drink at check-in. I'm looking forward to booking Glory again for future haircuts!

The piece close to my face is what I got from one pass of color remover. I paid 200 to argue.

I waited to write this review until I had data. I don't like writing bad reviews, but after what I have been through with my hair, my goal is to help people that are selective like me to avoid disaster. About three years ago a stylist at another salon bleached me blonde from à misunderstanding. It destroyed my very long fine curly hair. To this day I am still growing it out. I took a long time to find a stylist I could trust again. That stylist used to work at Limon. She was extremely patient with me. She wanted to do right by me. She was even willing to learn new things from me. We were a team. I hated finding parking and Limon's prices, but I was willing to deal with this for a stylist I could trust. Then one day during my appointment my stylist got a call from her young daughter's school that she needed to be picked up. She had to cancel our appointment. As a mom I was totally understanding. I booked another appointment and got a message warning me that if I missed the appointment I would be charged in full. Ironic! Anyways, the salon later informed me that my stylist had been fired. I don't know if she was fired for having to leave during our appointment, but at this point I was desperate to get my hair done. So they set me up with a stylist named Yanin. I was very explicit about what I wanted when talking to Yabin. Instead of us coming to a plan, we went in circles for 90 minutes. She explained that my previous stylist had LIED to me and used a red color that wasn't removeable. And that to lift my hair she would need to bleach over my red instead of trying to remove it. She pressured me to just lift to level 8/9 and we went I circles, me finally agreeing to two test strips, which she assured me was a 10 volume developer. I am SO glad I didn't allow her to do my whole head! She overlapped my old highlights and sure enough my hair was bright orange because of the old red she insisted wouldn't come out. I went home and used a gentle sulfur based remover and guess what? My old stylist (the one they fired) was NOT lying to me at all! Not only that, but the test strips Yabin was supposed to be doing was using a 20 developer! I know because I took a photo of her notes. All the things we talked about doing in advance: she didn't actually do any of it. She left the developer on too long also. Now, I have nothing against Yanin. What I have since come to see about this salon is that they don't mention their stylists years of experience or certifications for a reason. And that reason is that they hire stylists with very little experience considering the pricing the salon charges, and then pressure them to do whatever is most profitable for their bottom line. Doing my hair the right way required time and a slower developer; not compatible with their business model. I have also Come to find out this salon had recently fired many stylists and has a toxic work environment. I will never go to a big expensive salon like this again. I can afford to; I like the ambiance. But I came to realize time and time again that good stylists don't want to work on salary and they don't charge for consultations for a reason.

When I got back, I was late for the appointment but they didn't sweat me, since they just got done with the previous customer and needed to set up the station. When my stylist was ready, she was very sweet and really took care of me to make sure I get the cut and style I requested. The vibe of the salon was very personable and easy going. I really enjoyed the time care she put in to working. When she completed my hair, it looked exactly as I wanted.

Because I have had bleached hair (as an Asian) for a while, I have visited several hair salons for color and he is definitely the best, has an eye for colors that would pair well with your face, passionate about his craft, and takes a lot of pride in his work. I can't imagine someone being unhappy with the results. He even has a lot of before and after photos in his phone, where you can see a lot of really cool color jobs that he has done, in case you don't believe me. Everyone was very sweet and the salon was nice and clean! I would recommend Sari again!

For years I enjoyed our conversations and valued Sabrina's experience. But lately she seemed rushed and distracted, sometimes moving on while I was explaining what I wanted. On several occasions, I was double-booked without advance notice. During one appointment, she was enthusiastically working on another client's elaborate, waist-length rainbow color, which she said had taken 6-8 hours. Much of my own service was handed to an assistant, and I felt like an afterthought. Creative color may be her passion, but clients requesting conventional colors and cuts deserve attentive service too. My mother had similar difficulties feeling heard and eventually stopped seeing her. I'd also had several bang trims that were too short, uneven, or unlike the reference photos I'd shown. I began trimming my bangs myself, but continued seeing Sabrina for color and overall cuts, with only occasional bang trims alongside a full haircut rather than at my monthly color touch-ups. Our history made me want to give her the benefit of the doubt. At my latest appointment, I wanted a lighter, more neutral brown and brought ideas about color levels. After color remover, Sabrina said lighter brunettes naturally have warmer tones. I respectfully explained that my natural medium brown hadn't had the reddish warmth I'd noticed since coloring it. She clarified that dyed hair behaves differently. I understood, and said I was happy to wait until another appointment for my preferred shade if that was healthier for my hair, even though I'd hoped to have it done before my birthday celebration the following week. I wanted to discuss a plan together. Instead, I felt increasingly uncomfortable with her annoyed expressions, laughter, and responses that came across as condescending. I'm quiet and dislike confrontation, so asking questions when someone seems irritated takes effort. I tried to stay friendly and assume she was having an off day. When she explained that the shades I'd suggested would be too dark, I thanked her and asked whether a level six would better suit my goal. I appreciated her advice and was happy to follow it. I wasn't challenging her expertise; I simply wanted input into decisions about my own hair. I also asked her to blend my bangs into face-framing layers. They looked fine at first, but at home I saw that one side had been cut much farther back than the other, leaving noticeably uneven thickness and an inconsistent transition into the layers. I politely texted asking if I could stop in the following Tuesday for a correction so my hair would look nice for my birthday. I simply explained the unevenness and asked for a fix. Her lengthy, feelings-focused reply stunned me. Although she offered other days to look at my bangs, she suggested I find another stylist because of my supposed "lack of faith in my professionalism and argumentative nature." She revisited our color discussion, said my questions made her uncomfortable and stressed, and wrote, "I also don't feel it's necessary to have to explain my reasoning for everything I do." What felt especially bizarre was the complete reversal of what I'd experienced. During the appointment, I had felt anxious about asking perfectly reasonable questions because her responses seemed defensive and dismissive. I'd consciously tried to remain respectful and friendly despite feeling uncomfortable, only to receive a message afterward portraying me as the argumentative one who had made her uncomfortable. Her account felt completely at odds with my experience. I'd paid approximately $400 and left my usual full tip despite the tension because I didn't want one uncomfortable appointment to overshadow years of good experiences. I don't expect perfection, and I respect a stylist's professional judgment. In fact, I want that expertise! But clients should be able to ask questions, express preferences, and collaborate with their stylist without being made to feel difficult. A professional consultation shouldn't require blindly agreeing with everything suggested. To be fair, Sabrina did offer alternative dates to correct my bangs. However, after receiving a message criticizing my behavior and explaining how uncomfortable I'd made her, I no longer felt comfortable returning to sit in her chair. What should have been a straightforward correction became an unnecessarily personal and unpleasant situation. After years of loyalty, this was an incredibly disappointing end to the relationship. I left with uneven bangs just before my birthday, and a simple request for help ended a years-long client relationship. I can no longer recommend Sabrina to clients who want to discuss their hair goals. I've retained our complete text exchange and would be happy to share it privately with salon management if they'd like to understand what happened.

They matched me with a stylist and I came in on a particularly cold rainy day. The first issue I noted was that they didn't use heat to process, which my formula calls for. Although I've had other salons use wet heat to treat, using no heat was unusual. Beyond that, I noted the stylist would make comments where the tone sounded friendly, but the words like, "your hair is so long, do you ever cut it," were a bit rude. By the end of the visit it was clear she didn't particularly like me, but my hair looked fine under the lighting, so I tipped well and left. What followed has literally never happened to me in the four years I've gotten full root coverage. The color leeched out of my hair - as in, within a few days, all coverage was gone. I don't know what she used, but after a week it didn't look like I'd gotten my hair done at all - my best guess is that because she didn't use heat, it didn't process correctly. I just don't know. I've sat on this review trying to decide how I feel about it, but I definitely always now confirm my formula has to be processed with heat and I've gone back to my old salon in Berkeley even though it's a bit of a drive.

While sitting in the chair for the retouch, he told me he would try his best. Based on the last results, I trusted him completely. During the chemical processing, he pulled too hard on my head while doing stress tests. I had a three-step Hime cut, and he asked if my other stylist who cut it was Asian. He asked where she worked, where she went to school, and if it was a school. I told him I would just send her portfolio info.I explicitly told him that I am terrible with a paddle brush and a blow dryer. Despite knowing this, he still sent me home damp with a wet underside and told me to dry it myself at home. It took me an hour and a half to get home, where I continued to sweat for another 20 minutes. I spent four hours after just trying to get the kinks out of my hair at home because it dried funny.My hair is perfectly straight, but the entire length from the root down is not even close to being as shiny as it was and looks terrible, with a frizzy spot in the back and on the side. In person, the difference is night and day. He got the kinks out, but he also got the blinding shine out. I paid for this service in cash. My halo shine is completely gone from the first treatment, and I was told it's unlikely that it'll come back without major moisturizer all the time forever on those lengths and I'll need rebonding treatments, but it'll never be quite the same again.I am giving three stars down from five because of the retouch. As long as you don't get caught in the rain and need a free retouch, you'll probably be fine. I'm still in shock, I know he said he would try his best, but he didn't guarantee anything either, I trusted him completely. and implicitly While going above and beyond to try and protect the style, even staying up 30 hours so I didn't get creases. At least it didn't melt off. This was my first and last treatment. I don't think I'm going to do this anymore. I am a very patient person, which Billy commented on as well, but I don't quite know how to handle this. I am completely gutted and a little bit heartbroken--that is seven years of my life, and the first thing that I cared about after my illness was getting my hair fixed. I should've left well enough alone, a little flat iron daily, but caveat emptor.
