He is a great conversationalist and despite my appointments taking a while (I have a lot of hair, we were together for 1H45M yesterday) conversation never runs stale and there's always things to talk about. He's the best I can't recommend anyone else further. Again, I've been a client for a decade!

She always takes the time to listen and somehow knows exactly what will look best. On top of that, she's just such a joy to spend time with.

This review both overdue and is for Ariel who works in CC Salon :)…read more I managed to get an appointment at short notice with her, having seen the amazing peekaboo highlights she does on her Instagram. I wanted to change up my hair a bit having had the same boring brown 'do for decades (minus the odd unsuccessful foray into hideous orange highlights). Ariel did an absolutely amazing job of my cute teal highlights, she was really attentive and had some great ideas for how to make it look both striking yet subtle when it needs to be. It looked fantastic, didn't take too long (a couple of hours maybe), and I'm looking forward to going back and getting it refreshed :) Parking is a bit restricted to the side, but you can park on El Camino and move your car halfway through (got some weird looks from drivers with my cape and foils on...)

She was so sweet, efficient, professional, and made sure she understood what I wanted - and even guided me when I wasn't totally sure. She continuously checked on me to make sure I was comfortable and doing alright. The salon itself was clean and had a cute fresh vibe. To any blondes in the area, you absolutely HAVE to see Jenn.

Since the salon is located in Downtown Redwood City, there will not be any free parking as everything is metered street parking - Bring some quarters. Spruce Salon is taking every Covid-19 precaution possible - Only a limited number of stylists are allowed to work at a time {with chairs more than 6 feet apart}, each stylist is only allow to service one client at a time, both the stylist and the client must wear a mask the entire time and a temperature check is given prior to entering the salon. All of these procedures made me feel super comfortable in being in a salon again. My husband has been going to Spruce for years for his haircuts and raved about Nicole, so I decided to give her a shot when going in for a full highlight and a haircut - I am beyond thrilled to have found Nicole - She is a Hair Genius! I am a very easy going person and my hair is the one thing that I can tend to get picky about so I usually go into a salon with several pictures of what I am looking for {and as someone who previously managed salons/spas for years and years, I know this can be a stylists nightmare} - Nicole was amazing and looked through all of my pictures and I put my trust in her to see my vision - She exceeded what I was looking for 10 fold! Not only is she a stellar stylist, but she is beyond friendly and really listens to the clients needs/wants. The pricing is very comparable to other salons in the area, and in my opinion, it was less than I was looking to spend for such a great experience. If you are in the market for a new do' - Nicole is your girl! She is in demand and books up fast so be sure to plan ahead.. it'll be worth your wait!
