I've been going to Briana for about five years and cannot recommend her enough. I'm extremely particular about my hair, especially when it comes to color, cut, and overall hair health, and she consistently delivers on all three. My hair is noticeably healthier since I started seeing her, and her color and cuts always look beautiful and intentional. She has an incredible eye and really understands what will complement you, so I trust her completely to take an idea and make it even better. She's incredibly talented, warm, down to earth, and someone I always feel completely comfortable with. I leave every appointment happy and feeling like I'm in the best hands. read more

Briana is the worst (totally agree with AB's review)- extremely unprofessional human. She does not know how to work with brown skin and black hair (maybe blondes do better with her). She is extremely unprofessional with booking appointments as well. See texts below. Avoid her at all costs read more

If you're searching for professionalism, patience, and solid customer service, you'll want to keep moving right along, Briana is absolutely not the one. Let's talk about yelling at an elderly woman because YOU decided to accept her appointment through text. Then, to add insult to injury, embarrassing her by announcing there wasn't enough time for her or her highlights since YOU "don't like booking through text." Here's an idea: if text booking isn't your style, maybe don't do it? It's not her job to decode your scatterbrained approach to scheduling. Talking to someone over 80 years old with that kind of disrespect is beyond appalling. Patience, kindness,these are the bare minimum when dealing with age. Instead, this poor woman got attitude she didn't deserve. And as for the hair? Let's just say the results don't match the oversized ego. Bottom line? I wouldn't recommend this female to my worst enemy unless they've got a thing for streaky brass tones and being disrespected. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Maison Deux - Briana's roots touch up - Hair Salons Near Me - San Mateo, California

I always love working with Briana! She's been driving my hair journey for the last 2 years and I'm always so grateful for her eye, techniques, and expertise. Not to mention she has a drippin' soundtrack always playing when possible. Love the studio vibe as well! My og hair was blah brown, short, and super fine. She brings me to blonde bombshell, gorgeous low/highlights (perfect for getting two months of growth in before our next sesh), with high quality long fusion/weft extensions for me to play with. She is always a pleasure to explore and configure my look with. Couldn't recommend her enough! ‍ read more

Briana has been doing my hair for the past year and she is AMAZING!!! First I have to say she is highly skilled in blonding. I first came to her a year ago after another hairdresser elsewhere ruined my hair and I thought it was unable to be fixed. She was able to do a color correction and now a year later my hair is way better condition than it was a year ago when I came to her to rescue me! I work in the beauty industry and I have beauty professionals always asking me who does my hair and complimenting me on my shade of blonde (highlights that are always nice and bright)! She foils me with precision EVERY TIME. Always happy with the result! Briana is an excellent listener and most concerned with what is best for the client so I have always appreciated her honesty. It didn't take just 1 session to get me to where I needed to be, she explained it would be over time in multiple sessions and how we were going to get there and how to care for my hair at home as it grew out this past year. Her action plan worked because she's educated and is very precise in her approach. Grateful every day that she saved my hair! read more

Brianna is very good...she knows hair and how to make it look wonderful .. I will be returning to see her!!!

Brianna did an exceptional job getting my light blonde highlights perfect!! highly recommend her!

I got a haircut and toner by Jamie McClay today. Jamie was very attentive and made sure I got what I wanted (which I did!). And I loved the hair wash stations at Maison Deux. They use these lie flat chair/beds that are super comfortable, and your neck isn't tilted back at an awkward angle. Wish other salons would use them too! I'll definitely be coming back for my next color. Thanks so much Jamie! read more

I saw Briana today for a root touch up and mini highlights. Results were great. She's super friendly and professional. She is also very patient and answers every single question you could possibly have about hair care and maintenance. Salon was in a central location, very bright and welcoming, with plenty of food spots nearby in case you're hungry after your appointment! Thanks Briana!! read more

Go see Briana Ledesma here for all your curly hair needs. Huge plus is that she can work on various textures. She has grown my hair with care. I have followed her for years . It's great as a woman with textured hair not having to drive an hour away to get my hair done. read more

I am a huge fan of Erica C. She has styled and highlighted my hair from the time we were able to wear masks and go into saloons last year. Besides having a great personality, she is perfect with placing highlights and a color choice that is right for me. Her skill and precision makes my highlights beautiful, if I do say so myself :). Patient and caring. Karen S read more

Maison Deux - Color, cut and blow dry - Hair Salons Near Me - San Mateo, California

I've been going to Jamie at Maison Deux for many years now, and every time I leave I feel amazing (whether it's getting any of these done: root color, cut, balayage). Amazing cuz of how I look and feel but also it's just a great place to spend a couple hours too. All of the stylists are so welcoming, and there is a definite friendly vibe had by all. Jamie is of the best, and her work says it all! She always greets me with a smile, and I just love how down-to-earth she is. Another fun perk too - getting served tea, coffee, water - while you're waiting for dye processing etc. Oh and the salon, now under Jamie, has upgraded all of the hair washing stations. I was literally in heaven. They are these fancy beds basically so you're lying flat instead of having to angle your head downwards. Felt so much better on my back. I highly recommend Maison Deux for the work the stylists do and the friendly atmosphere. You can't beat the fact too that it's right in downtown San Mateo so you can run errands and grab lunch/dinner at your favorite spot there too! read more

I just want to update the review here in regards to how sweet the management is. I was clearly unhappy with the cut and they reached out to me several times on different ways to help me such as a refund, treatments and a new cut. It was out of my way since I live in the city and I respect their business so I didn't go in for a refund or anything of the nature. I fixed the issue elsewhere. I do want to say though that its proven they are a great company who care about their clients. I just had a bad experience here. I'd maybe give them another shot down the road. Nice caring people here. read more

Had my hair highlighted by Liz on extremely short notice- thank you! I called on a Thursday and was able to get an appt that Saturday. I have a lot of hair and it's long. Usually I'll be in a salon apx 5.5-6+ hours. My appointment was at 1pm; I was out of there by 530; I highly appreciate this! Plenty of refreshments! Fruit infused water to tea, to wine-yum! I will go back to Liz and I am beyond happy with my color. I don't have a great picture of my hair specifically at the time- so I posted what I have which is in sunli Let's note: All stylists manage their own books and give their own mobile numbers. From my understanding there is no specific person answering phones. So anyone that complained about this in previous posts do not know much about salons. I appreciate being able to text/ directly call my stylist & I appreciate their time in getting back to me; work is work and they are working! Be patient! read more

I make a drive out to see Angie whenever necessary. She has been my hair stylist since late 2011. Not sure how I found her but I'm sure glad I did. She's the best stylist I've had thus far. Angie always hooks it up. She always does exactly what I want and makes me look good! I highly recommend her! If you're making a drastic change (like color) she'll help you decide on what color is best as a transition to ease your nervousness. Love love her! She's always so booked. I always book my appointment a month in advance. read more

The best! In a time when it's hard to find a salon, Maison Deux is really doing the magic to help ppl get through this pandemic with giving the gift of amazing hair. I hadn't had a cut in moooonths so I definitely needed the work. With SF being on lockdown, my usual salon has been closed since April. Briana is just the best! I'm happy I made the drive because she killed it. My hair feels revived, I LOVE the color, and I can't wait to go back when it's time for a touch up. read more

To be brutally honest, I didn't want to write this review. When I found this place, I read the reviews and was honestly excited to go here. I had an appointment with Brianna. The screenshot is what I wanted, that's me after everything. I just wanted a simple three color balayage done to me. The colors don't match whatsoever, when she cut my hair she just cut straight behind me. Luckily my bangs were cut good... My biggest issue was the entire process. My roots were grown out and the rest of my hair was a faded silver blue. I will not deny, there was a lot of work to be done. She bleached my hair super light, to turn out this dark. During the bleaching process, my scalp was burning. I've bleached my roots many times before and never have I felt this pain. The next day I had scabs all over my scalp. It felt as if I had a skin disease. I feel it wouldn't of scabbed that much if she didn't rub the bleach into my scalp. I'm no professional and I've messed up my hair myself, but I know you're not supposed to rub bleach on the scalp. To be honest, I want my money back but I don't want to set foot inside there ever again. The hair cut was lazy, the bleach was rubbed into my scalp. Now I'm dealing with flakes for awhile. read more

The right side of my hair is longer than my left side. Extremely poor craftsmanship, Margaret doesn't listen to what you want, rather she will assume. Went to management, she doesn't care, she'll tell you she doesn't have any other stylist to help you and you need to go back to the same stylist to finish the botched job. Clearly, the haircut is botched, the whole right side is extremely heavy than the left. To make matters worse, I came in with medium-long length of hair, came out looking a mushroom. read more

Disappointed I was excited to finally getting a purple balayage. Saw this has fairly good reviews and ratings so I booked it on 7/8. Brianna was my stylist she was nice and not very chatty which i like. She was focus and took her time. I showed her the photo i found online in vibrant purple. Then She bleached my hair once, it become fairly light orange. After 4 hours sitting there, bleached, washed, dyed and wash again, cut and curled. I noticed some spots between black top and the really dark purple bottom, it's still showing sort of brownish orange, but we thought it might be the lighting in the salon. I waited 36 hours and washed my hair, then the orange became very visible all around my head, between natural color and bottom color. So I texted Brianna and she told me to go in and dyed my hair again. After the second dyed on 7/10, it was a very dark blue-ish purple that was hard to tell unless in bright room or outside. I wash my hair once every 2 days because I don't want to be blame for washing too much for the color to fade away. But 2 weeks after that, the color is pretty much gone, and weird. 8/8 less than a month: Now My hair is 75% black, 15% golden brown, and 10% purple and blue mix....for the cost of $270. I don't know if i should go for a 3rd dyed, for probably getting the same result, plus might further damage my hair. I'm guessing that she was suppose to bleach my hair twice then color, but they didn't want to give me 2 sessions. I do not recommend anyone with dark hair who wants to color their hair here. I need to figure out how and where to fix my hair color. read more

Another great haircut by Jamie McClay at the San Mateo salon that she owns, Maison Deux. She was specifically recommended to me by Shigeo Nakatani when he retired several years ago.

Easy parking, large salon with high ceilings, and luxurious new shampoo basins. read more

I have been going to Richard Plombon at Maison Deux for almost 4 years and finally I'm getting around to posting this review for his work. I have an asymmetrical cut and really fine, straight hair. Assymmetrical cuts are super difficult, but when you combine that with really fine, straight hair, which shows EVERYTHING, you get an extremely challenging hair cut. Richard has consistently made me look amazing and I have gotten so many compliments from people when they see my hair. In fact, I've referred at least 3 people to Richard because they love my hair and insist on knowing who cuts. Also need to mention that Richard is super professional, really listens, and really conscientious--he makes sure you are happy. Very impressed with his work and super happy I am his client! read more

I've been going to Monica for about 3 years now and I love her work! I first came to her for a balayage and she surpassed my expectations given that I had red in my hair still from previous hair dying. Recently, I asked her for highlights and they came out exactly how I wanted them to (pictures attached). I really love Monica's work because not only will she take the time to hear out and discuss exactly what you want before she starts, she also takes her time. I really appreciate her patience with my hair because I have ALOT of hair! Thanks Monica! read more

I've been on the search for years to find a hair stylist that can get my hair exactly the way I want it. I found Maison Deux through Yelp, and decided to give the place a try! My first appointment was made with Liz!! Liz made me feel super comfortable in a new salon! We discussed where my hair is at, and where I want it to be. Liz's advice was to come in and dye my hair in sessions so it wouldn't be dried out from the bleach. After my first session I loved my hair!!! Went again for my second session with Liz, to go even lighter/ add more grey and ash, and I loved it! Liz is a great stylist, and is super easy to talk to and feel comfortable with! I would highly recommend going to Liz, and booking your next appointment with her!! I just recommended her to some friends, and would advise anyone to check out her work, and book with her! read more

I had an appointment with Jamie, to get partial highlights. We had spoken on the phone in length and agreed to a price. She had helped Monica, with picking the right color mixes for me once before. Before my appointment day I text Jaime, to ask how much she would charge to just trim the bottom of my hair and she responded she charges $75, for haircuts. I text her back that I only wanted the very bottom trimmed straight across and not an actual full haircut. She decided to cancel my highlight appointment and tell me she didn't think we were a good fit and how I should contact Monica, who is over in Belmont, now just for doing such. She even gave a one sentence with an exclamation point at the end of the sentence when she decided to just cancel on me just because I asked about the haircut twice. I will never go back to this salon and found her to be highly stuck up and arrogant, for she even said she didn't think she was in my budget. All ridiculous and she did ALL by texting and never even bothered to call me at some point to talk which is a much better way of communicating to avoid misunderstandings. I don't see what the highlights had to do with the haircut but apparently she is so full of herself she just cancels your appointment with her at will and doesn't care how such might affect you or your life plans. Karma's a B, B! read more

Loved my cut and the experience. Jamie was amazing! Will come back again for sure! I'm horrible at taking selfies. I should've asked her to take my pic at the salon but forgot. So I'm at home just chillin on my couch loving so much how my hair looks and feels that I really just want to send praise. Highly recommend her! Oh and the bad color in the pic is not Jamie. That's my DIY disaster. Jamie's color game is on point she did my friend's gorgeous purple. read more

I made an appointment the week before I was scheduled, and I was unaware that confirmation the day before would be required in order for me to get in for my women's hair cut. I would have been a first time client, so maybe they like to schedule their familiar clients ahead of new ones. The stylist called and also texted me the day before, however I had one of those days where you just get super busy and have and endless list of items to do. I had blocked my schedule off for my appointment the next day. She texted me at 6:49 that she had to cancel my appointment because I didn't confirm it, I was reminded by this and had replied to her minuted later at 6:53 and she had already canceled my appointment and asked me to call the salon (which was already closed) to see if they had an opening for me. No thanks. read more

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL salon with a spotlessly "clean" and ZEN-balanced vibe and decor. As a brand new client who was referred by a friend to see OWNER and STYLIST JAMIE at Maison Deux Salon, for highlights, I experienced SUPERB customer service and very PLEASING hair treatment results. JAMIE is a TOP NOTCH professional in her field which is immediately apparent the minute you sit in her salon chair. Not only is Jamie personable and welcoming the minute you meet her, she also possesses a confident "take charge" hair advice styling appeal which is critical for people like myself who sometimes have difficulty communicating with the risk of causing confusion about what it is I'm looking/hoping for!!! Jamie proved that she must certainly be a mind reader because she NAILED my color and I'm tremendously happy with the results of her "art". "Leadership by example" always starts at the top for me and given my experience at Maison Deux, it was very telling that excellence in customer service and clientele satisfaction are a top priority at this salon. A picture paints a thousand words - I couldn't help but notice each stylist having a lovely rapport with their client which instantly signaled to me how special this salon is. I'm so elated that I was "directed" to Maison Duex in San Mateo and of course JAMIE! I highly appreciate and recommend this wonderful hair salon and I look forward to many more enjoyable visits with the complete ease of mind knowing that my exceptionally dependable hair stylist is a "CLASS A" performer! (and a lovely person to boot who truly cares about her salon and clientele!!!) Thank YOU so much Jamie!! read more

I started coming to see Jamie Parque last year and I have been coming back to see her ever since! Jamie is such a kind, caring and sweet individual who is super talented with hair coloring and hair cutting. She's very attentive to her clients and makes sure that they are pleased wth their hair. I usually come in for a cut and a color. Jamie usually does highlights for me, and the colors are always on point. Whenever I ask for a more redder hue or a lighter color, she comes up with something that is sure to impress me. She is also super talented with cutting hair! I usually don't trust stylists with cutting my hair too short, but she has managed to prove to me that I can rock a shorter cut! She styles hair very well and puts in just the right amount of layers to give hair a light, structured look. Another amazing aspect about her cuts is that she thinks about the long run with styling your hair--she makes sure that your hair looks good even a month after the cut. She is also very honest and gives you her opinions, and lets you know in advance whether the highlights will become lighter over time. Overall, I definitely recommend Jamie! Not only is she super talented, but she is also such an understanding and considerate stylist. read more
