After having dark hair for my whole life and going without a haircut for 2 years, I came to Kim…read morewith an idea of what I wanted to do to my hair.

Ashlee is the true meaning of THE BEST. I have been getting my hair done with Ashlee for a year…read morenow. I came to her with orange highlights and sever damaged ends and she was able to transform my hair through her creative imagination. She is amazingly talented and truly cares about her work. She sees the result of her work and confident in the outcome. Few points to highlight about Ashlee: Always on time Great personality Amazing vision Creative Up to date with hair styles Great products Must I say she gives the best hair cuts Gives great scalp massage Professional, fun & funny Great prices for great work & I love the way you tie the towel ;) I have to admit I am very fussy with my hair but not once I felt one bit not happy. It never fails every visit I feel renewed and my hair looks healthy, happy & pretty. Thank you Ashlee

For those of you reading and are in disbelief...you better believe that Ashlee is the real deal!…read more Before even meeting her, Ashlee was so kind while we corresponded to schedule an appt. She is a very busy woman but found a way to squeeze me in on a cancellation. Upon entering the beautiful salon, I was greeted immediately by her wonderful assistant, Brynn. Brynn put me in a chair right away, offered me something to drink and ensured I was comfortable. When Ashlee came to me, she was warm and sweet and very pregnant! I cant believe that someone due so soon was still working as hard as she is! She came to evaluate the hot mess that was my hair. She heard my complaints and wanted to see what my dream hair looked like. I told her that I wasnt expecting a miracle and to that she replied, "I know you're not but I'm going to try really hard to give you one." Totally warmed my heart! She told me what she wanted to try and do to my hair and even prepped me on what kind of maintenance work we'd need in a few months and an approximate cost if that maintenance. Ashlee and Brynn tag teamed my hair and when it was all said and done, she transformed my hair. My once blotchy scalp, orange blonde was smoothed out to have beautiful transitions and that glowing blonde color I aspired to have. Ashlee worked her magic and gave me a miracle. I thanked her for bringing me back to life because I know I'm not alone when I say that women truly feel how they look a lot of times. That mess of a head I had wore me down and made me so unhappy and I was absolutely revived after Ashlee and Brynn helped me. Please go see them. You will not regret it!

I never liked following crowds any hooo. I was ready to change up my boring dark hair for some color. Alicia was kind enough to see me after work on a Saturday evening. 2.5 hours later and I am ecstatic on her beautiful work!!!!!! I've had my hair done in salons in San Francisco to New York City and I've never been fully satisfied with how my coloring has turned out. Alicia has given me an ombre which added just the right amount of color and depth that I wanted. I am in love!!! Alicia is your go to girl- she is a sweetheart and a coloring/style queen!!!

The person at the desk wasn't friendly. Everybody in the lobby (6-8 people) were taken back before me, even people who came in after me. It was almost 30min past my appointment time and I asked if there were any stylists available because I had plans that day and again the desk person was rude and acted like I was bothering her. 45min past my appointment I finally was seated and after a very lack luster "head massage" which I paid more for, she curled my hair as quickly as possible. The curl didn't even last 30min. The volume she tried to give me only lasted 5min. Never again.

After moving to the Bay Area, it took me a while to find a hair salon. I had a hair stylist I had…read morebeen going to for years in Koreatown and for a while I even planned trips to Los Angeles just to get haircuts from her. However, I knew that I had to find a local go-to hair salon. Many bad haircuts ensued, but for the longest time I just couldn't find a decent hair stylist. I went to barber shops, local salons, etc., but they all did not make the cut. When I first found James on the Yelp app, I was hesitant because of all the previous failures and I was like WTH is an "Aura Zoom"? And, at that time he was renting a station in the back of a beauty supply store over on Oak Grove in Walnut Creek which was kind of weird. Still, I gave him a try and was like, he's pretty good. He actually knew what a fade was. Then James relocated over to a salon off of North Main Street in Walnut Creek when he rented another station and I followed. It was here that I observed his scissor skills improve to an elite level and soon enough he was busier than the owner of the hair salon. Seriously, the dude was working seven days a week. Maybe it was jealousy at the old salon or he just needed his own space, but his move to his very own salon suite co-op space akin to a WeWorks for hair dressers within the W Salon Suites in Alamo has been awesome. Now he has his very own enclosed suite and you can get some coffee at the shared lounge that is usually brewing Philz coffee beans. James is probably the best hair stylist in the East Bay, if not the Bay Area. Give him a try if you want a great cut. He accepts cash, Venmo, and credit cards. BTW, I still have no idea what Aura Zoom means LOL. * English is not his first language, but he speaks it well. He also speaks Korean and Mandarin. * During my most recent visit, he mentioned that he was taking Sundays off. Walk-ins are not accepted and reservations are required. Just give him a call or text. * In this era of being first, I can attest I was his FIRST customer at the current location [mic drop].

Ben is seriously the best. He's so nice, accommodating, and really pays attention to detail. I didn't realize that because I had waited so long since my last appointment, I would actually need a color correction this time instead of just the root touch-up I originally booked. I felt terrible because I know that required more time and work than what I scheduled, but Ben was so understanding and still accommodated me. Even with the extra work, he was SO quick and efficient and managed to get everything done within 5 hours without sacrificing the quality at all. My balayage came out absolutely beautiful! What impresses me the most is how healthy my hair feels. I've been blonde before going to Ben, and my hair was always dry and unhealthy from the bleach. Since going to him, it's completely different. Even after getting my hair lightened, it still feels soft, healthy, and looks so shiny. You can really tell he uses high-quality products and knows how to protect the integrity of your hair. I'm so happy I found Ben and definitely trust him with my hair. I'll be coming back in 3 months this time to properly maintain my balayage so I don't wait too long again! THANK YOU BEN!!! I'm absolutely obsessed with my hair!

You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and truly cares that his clients leave happy with their results. I never felt rushed, and I appreciated how detail oriented he was throughout the entire appointment. I'm so glad I found him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing hairstylist.
