Getting freshened up for an upcoming wedding so of course I needed to go in and see Minnie. I noticed that more gray hairs are coming in so i asked her if i could go lighter so that it blends in. She said it was ok so I pushed my hair to the limit and got the lightest ash color in baby highlights. They turned out beautiful and since she recommended not going any lighter I will probably be this color for a while. Cut about an inch and more layers. I love it, always leaving feeling fabulous! read more

Blanca is such an amazing hair stylist! She always makes me feel so luxe after leaving the salon‍. She gave me a "wolf cut" with bangs and I can't go back now to my old style. She really listens to what you want and is very intuitive. I'm a very long hair girlie and sometimes I leave other salons and no one can even tell I got a cut but with Blanca she knows how to add layers to give so much movement. Bangs can be high maintenance but these are not. The cut is super piecey with lots of face framing layers so I honestly don't even style it. I smush my bangs forward and just let my hair dry and I get compliments on my haircut and style often. I always tell em, head over to Blanca at Miva in Hayward! I know she will be on maternity leave soon but don't sleep on Miva or Blanca. She is worth the wait :). I'm going to miss being so close but I will be back the next time I'm in the Bay. read more

I have been coming to MIVA for over a year and a half and it's safe to say they're the only salon I trust! Minnie has been doing almost all of my services at this location and she has been really helpful in answering all of my questions along the way. I am naturally a pretty dark brown and my end goal was to be an ash blonde, which is a process that took time to build. In total it took me ~7 months to get to but it was super worth it. She has been amazing with her services and I would recommend her to anyone! read more

Genevieve gave me my consultation. She quoted me $350-$500 for Ash Highlights & $50 to test strand. I went to Jim's Salon 7 minutes from Miva, he cut a small strand from my hair, tested it (FREE) and did an AMAZING job SAME DAY for $270. He greeted me kindly, didn't roll his eyes at my questions, & made sure I understood the entire process. Just for feedback, ppl can sense energy and they can feel when you're genuine about your work. People like myself will pay for the quality of the service(TIPS) bc they've earned it. Not to mention a good network of clienteles from my contact book. Maybe I should've wore some name brands. Lol. I probably would've been treated differently. ‍ read more

Went in for a full balayage and cut with Kellan and I have nothing but good things to say about her. I was initially going to a stylist in Berkeley for almost two years attempting to achieve what Kellan did for me in one single visit! I came into the salon with another stylist's work and not even knowing what dyes she put in my hair. I asked for a dark espresso brown balayage and a long layer cut with bangs. Kellan made it happen! She is a true professional and cares very much about her work. This was very prominent when we finished toning my hair after the bleach and she wanted to re-tone a section of my hair because it came out a bit lighter than the picture I showed her for inspiration. In my eyes, I didn't really noticed it but after she toned it for the second time, I saw the difference and was very pleased. She could have not said anything and continued to finish up with my hair but she didn't and that's very professional of her. I appreciate how she walked me through the process and was honest about what she can do for me. The previous stylist would tell me that I need to return to the salon every 4-6 weeks for a partial balayage for maintenance whereas Kellan gave me a reasonable timeline for my next appointment and what to look out for. She quotes you the price prior to performing the service so there are no hidden fees. Overall, very great experience with Kellan and Miva Salon. Finally found a stylist I am happy about after almost two years of always leaving a hair appointment feeling dissatisfied. read more

I was so pleased with the service at Miva from start to finish! This is my second time coming to salon and I'm pretty sure I'll be coming back again and again. I love long hair but I'm not the best and maintaining it. I only get it done once every year or so. This time I thought it was time to retire my balayage and add some layers to my waist length hair. I emailed Miva for an appointment in the coming week and they were super responsive via email--love that for me because I work odd hours and sometimes can't get to my phone when it rings. I get to the salon and was greeted by Minnie. She listened to my vision and told me honestly what would work or not work and together we decided on something that would make me happy. I really appreciate her expertise! Side note: I have a really dry scalp and she's the only stylist I've ever had that really gave me good advice on how to manage it and introduced me to some products to try. Super happy with my results! Also: Parking -- lots of street parking and a parking lot close by. Building -- love the clean decor and big windows letting in the natural light so you can really check out the new do. read more

After communicating with Miva Salon's owner through the Yelp's messaging system, I decided to schedule an appointment with their special model program for stylist in training. It is such a good deal! The pricing is 40% off from the Head stylists pricing. Two of my friends have been to Miva before and they highly recommended me to come check it out. I've done balayage last August at another salon and simply wanted to tone my hair due to the brassiness. My stylist was Mercedes and she did a great job! I loved it! I ended up choosing a permanent coloring, so that it can last longer. It looks super natural and healthy! I loved my overall experience at Miva! Will definitely be returning! read more

If I had a Versace gown, wore it with my new hair-do and went out on a date with my man, then at the end of the evening, "Versace on the floor" (Bruno Mars vs. David Guetta). Okay, okay, it would be more like "Anne Taylor on the floor" instead. I can't pull off a Versace nor afford one. And also, that didn't happen but a girl can fantasize, right?! I easily booked an appointment 1 week in advance for a full head, honey brown, balayage hair dye and cut. They asked if I wanted Sr. or Jr. stylist. I opted for Jr. since I've never been there and didn't know anyone's creative style. They told me that it can take 4-6 hours for this process, so, I made sure I brought my own lunch and beverage for my appointment. Good thing I did because it took 6 hours to fix my messed up mop head. Lorraine was so sweet and informative. She told me stuff about hair dye that I never knew about. Now that I know, my hair will be in her hands moving forward. I watched her do magic on my head. She had technical skills that I've never seen before. And I also never had a head full of foil... I felt like a recipe for baked chicken. The process was long but not painful. I can't tell you all the details but I just know my head was in the sink at least 4x's that day. And at the end of the day, my hair came out beautifully. Especially after she masterfully curled my hair! You can really see the highlights with the swirly twirl curls. I've never had highlights before and love them to death! I've even been back for a root touch up and the experience and expertise was on par! This is my new go-to place for diva hair maintenance! [Shout out to my Yelp Elite virtual friend, Cheryl M. It was so nice meeting you at the salon. Both Lorraine and I were confused on who you were saying 'Hi' to but in the end, it was ME! I felt my 2 minutes of YELP ELITE fame! SYOY(literally)!] read more

Keeping this review short and simple, because you guys already know how much I love Miva (check out my other review for their Mission location). I have been going to Minnie for about 2 years now and I trust no one else with my hair. For this specific visit, I wanted a short cut for the summer and highlights. Again, being the worst client ever, I didn't have a set goal or vision, but in the end Minnie somehow delivered exactly what I wanted! The process took about 4 hours, which was super long! But, I felt comfortable and was taken care of the entire time. This was my first time at Miva's B Street location and I loved it! It is more open and spacious compared to the original location. The salon was clean, and I loved that there was plenty of natural lighting. The atmosphere was also welcoming. Everyone I encountered was super friendly and sweet. Parking was also easy as there are many spaces available. If you are in need of a cut or coloring, and want to pamper your hair a bit, I recommend Miva! read more

I had brain surgery a few months ago and have sensitivity in my scalp near the incision site and she was so gentle and careful, I had nothing to worry about! I hadn't cut my hair for over a year due to health issues and I just wanted a fresh cut. I love layers but I know that can make your hair look thinner, but Blanca is so talented she was able to give me layers without it making my hair look thin at all!!

I've had a few hair treatments (fusio dose, deep repair) and a haircut at Miva with Minnie. She is great and does the best blowouts from all the salons I've visited in Hayward. I recently got a Brazilian blowout for the first time ever, and am in love with the results. Minnie was so sweet and took the time to not only explain the process, but also educate me on what a Brazilian blowout was, chemicals involved and much more. It was a long process, but I will definitely be getting it once my hair needs it again. I have a lot of hair, thick, wavy and frizzy when air dried. It is a struggle styling it, but the Brazilian blowout has made it so much easier for me. I 100% recommend it and 100% recommend visiting Miva Salon for all your hair needs. read more

I literally cannot stop staring at my hair!!!! Thank you so much to Kellan and the whole team at Miva for their amazing work.

Went in for a cut & color with Kellan, and I really appreciated how honest she was with my hair. She explained to me that what I wanted to have done could severely damage my hair (especially due to the old balayage I had done), got a second opinion from a colleague, and recommended another course of action as a temporary fix for my grown out/brassy/unevenly highlighted hair even though the new recommendation was half the cost of the service I had originally booked for. She was very clear in the upfront about how much everything would cost before she started. (I hate when stylists charge you afterwards and tell you they added in X, Y, or Z services without consulting you first... happened at my last appointment elsewhere.) I loved that she brought out some hair swatches to show me what my options were and what my hair color would likely look like after the service (this is the first salon that has done that for me)! She was also overall super sweet, easy to talk to, and checked in frequently when she was cutting my hair to make sure the length & style were what I wanted. The salon itself is really clean, modern, and I felt really safe with all the COVID precautions they had in place. Parking was pretty easy in the lot behind their building (though I didn't realize there was a farmers' market going on Saturday morning that made it take just a little bit longer... so would recommend arriving early if you happen to be there on a farmers' market day). All in all, I'm looking forward to coming back here for a full color service at some point in the future! read more

This was my first visit at Miva and with Kellan and I am super happy with my hair color + cut! Last time I got my hair done was in March 2018. So pretty much i went in with super grown out / virgin hair. Before we got started, Kellan went over the price so you get an idea how much you're paying as well we the services you're getting. I thought this was great so you're not surprised at the price at the end. I wanted Ash Blonde Balayage and Kellan helped me achieve the color I want! Luckily with my virgin hair, my hair was able to lift really well and I was able to go pretty blonde for my first session. Kellan was such a sweet heart and I can't wait to book my second session to go a little bit lighter maybe! read more

She listens to what you want and suggests what might look better, in a nice way! My hair looks and feels fantastic!!! I already scheduled next appointment...that's how much I liked it!!! read more

The service and the girls are nice but I'm pretty upset because I left with my hair looking the SAME ! The day of my consultation I showed Kellan what I wanted and I also told her I had box dye , she didn't say anything she just said she could do my hair , so when I went to my appointment my hair was brassy and not lifting correctly . And dyed my hair black from roots again mind you my hair is black already , and bleached my hair to dye it a dark brown no where near what I wanted and still CHARGED ME 298 , never again !!! Maybe next time she should of told me before touching my hair that she wasn't able to do it because my hair has box dye in it instead of just going ahead and giving me a color I didn't want or liked , . I just feel like she should of told me that she can't do it very disappointed read more

My 3rd and 4th visit to Miva have been at their new location, and it has been nothing short of amazing. First off, the location is much better but I love that they're staying local to Hayward. Secondly, parking is WAAAY better here-hands down. The interior is snazzy and super clean. It's that modern twist with a sprinkle of high end and just instagram worthy vibes. But that's honestly not even the most impressive part. With their expansion, it's allowed for more staff and chairs which equals more appointments! I came back after about a month and a half from my highlights with Minnie at their other location and decided I wanted to go lighter. It was a huge step for me because I've always been the simple and no-nonsense maintenance type of girl. I came to meet with the one and only Joss which you absolutely must book with for your wildest or color perfect hair. I started with Joss and have never experienced even something remotely negative that would make me say otherwise. She's extremely patient and sweet, but at the same time, experienced and knowledgeable. I screenshot some pictures and told her that I was looking to go lighter (from my recently highlighted hair, which barely washed out) and decided that an ash blonde on my asian hair was what I wanted. She didn't make a face or instantly tell me she could do it or that she couldn't. She consulted my hair and explained the process that it would go through and reiterated that it will take more than one session and that it will not be exactly what I imagined. Not wanting to walk out of the salon with yellow harsh colored hair, we decided to go for an autumn light brown ash light color, which worked out perfectly in the end with my highlights. She was able to bring my hair to life. I came back about 3 months later and boy, once all the toner leaves you look like a hot mess of dried hay. But she said we can go blonder if you like and I was like why not. We're already half way there and ufffffff, it turned out so well the second time. It was like healthy hair all over again and I came out a brand new person. Each experience is always a great one and I'm just in the greatest hands with Joss. Her skill and technique and ability to color and blend is just beyond amazing. People talk about how expensive it is and that they're overcharging... and you have to pay extra for olaplex but it honestly makes the difference. I mean, they're prices are extremely reasonable, especially for a senior stylist. The time you spent there goes by fast and the environment is somewhere you actually want to be in. I'll most likely be back for a third session to either go lighter for the last time, or just go back to something more neutral. Either way, Joss is the person the have behind your (c)hair. read more

The first time I got my hair professionally done (at a different salon btw), I was severely overcharged! But at Miva, you're getting better service for a better price. I was recommended this salon by one of my friends. Making an appointment is easy: call or email and they'll respond quickly. I booked with Kellan who has her availability posted on her Instagram. Once I walked in, I was immediately greeted. Kellan recommended an Olaplex treatment because my hair was very damaged from my previous stylist and there was a lot of breakage. Then, she gave me an ACCURATE price quote which is something not a lot of salons do. I did the olaplex treatment and asked for an ash blonde. The color turned out great and my hair was very soft. I now come back every couple months to get my hair done!! read more

My first time getting my hair done by Kellan exceeded all expectations. I truly with my deepest sincerity recommend her for hair coloring. She was super kind, considerate, and very professional. I appreciated how she showed me color swatches, took extra care of my fine hair, and I trust her with making decisions when it comes to what looks good on me. It's hard for me to find a hair stylist that I like, so have been hopping salons for awhile. However I think I've finally found a stylist I plan to come back to again and again :) read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. Kellan was recommended to me by a friend and now Kellan is the ONLY person I trust with my hair. She is soooo good (here's my hair progress since coming to Miva Salon for Kellan). I started with dry and box dyed hair that wouldn't lift and eventually had to chop off because it was literally red LOL. Kellan and other stylist here are all so good and will educate you on your hair and how to take care of it which is something I love and appreciate so much. Like they actually care about your hair and makes sure it stays as healthy as possible (not just trying to make money off of you). They are honest about what is doable and what isn't at that appointment and will make sure you are satisfied before leaving the salon. I spend 6-7 hours here every appointment and i can confidently say that everyone here is so nice, catering, and welcoming. It's definitely worth every penny coming here! read more

I'm very pleased with the service and outcome of my dark gray balayage Kellan is highly skilled, thorough and most importantly, she makes sure that I am happy with the result! I liked that Kellan and Minnie are very upfront and would give an honest opinion on how to achieve the hair of my dreams! They won't just tell you things that you want to hear unlike other stylists. Price is also reasonable compared to other salons that would butcher your hair and ask for more $$$. If you want to have #hairgoals give them a shot! You'll never look for another salon to do your hair once you've tried them ADVICE: I know most of you came to the salon to bring a picture of the hair you wanted, please understand that every hair is different (how fast it lifts, how strong your hair is, how your hair absorbs pigment, etc.) you have to accept that in order to achieve YOUR goals, one session wouldn't be enough. Its NOT the stylists' problem. Its YOU expecting them to do a miracle. Be realistic and listen to them! read more

I've been to this salon 3 times- the first time to get a red dye job, second to get a haircut and third to lighten with highlights and add a red color. I thought this would be the salon I could finally commit to after salon hopping for a couple of years- the first two times, I had a good experience, even though it was with Junior stylists. I told myself, "alright, I think it's time for a bit of a change" after not dying my hair for a few months. I decided to go all out and add highlights and a Rose color. This time, they again paired me with a Junior stylist, who was really nice but very young. We discussed the coloring and came to an understanding that a Rose color would take two sessions, which would be too much of a hassle for me so we decided on the attached photo (right)- which is more chunky highlights and much more realistic for one session. Instead, I received micro highlights (which took forever to put in), which basically was so micro and not sparsely laid out, that it merged together. The stylist took so long laying out the highlights with foil that she had to wash the bottom portions out first, while still leaving the tops on. She made me lay my neck on the porcelain sink for 30 minutes, while the top portions processed because the second half was already washed out and wet. It was super uncomfortable, leaving a bruise on my neck and a headache after. Having Asian hair, when it's bleached, it becomes copper/yellow. I would think she would have toned it down first, but she didn't. Instead, she laid a brown red color right over it while wet and then washed me out without applying conditioner. My hair was just bleached! No conditioner? I didn't mind the haircut- that is the part I have no complaints about. I walked out looking like how I walked in- just with a haircut. I didn't wash it for two days after to let the color soak in and give my hair a break, but after washing it for the first time, two days ago, almost of the red washed out, leaving me with patches of different colors all over my hair. It looked horrible (photo attached). I called to ask if I can get it fixed, told them the issue and the first thing the receptionist tells me is maybe because the shampoo I used stripped it out. I've been dying my hair for years, and know what shampoo I can and can't use to preserve hair color. That assumption put the problem on me. I told her I couldn't make it in this Sunday, and can do the next. She told me that if I can't make it in by Sunday, I will have to pay for any other time after. I asked if I can receive partial credit towards another session, or anything else. She basically repeated the same robotic line to me three times "Sorry, if you can't make it in this Sunday, you'll have to pay next time". I spent over $300+ and 6 hours there, to not walk out with the hair style I wanted. I understand that I can't get exactly what I want based on a photo I brought in, but I also understand that this hair job is a disaster. This review is based in hindsight- I wouldn't have mentioned about the sink torture, or the money or time spent, because I know beauty can be painful. But to have my hair wrecked and not be able to have it fixed without spending another few hundred and a few hours, really pisses me off. I had three people comment on my hair- "oh you didn't do that yourself (because it's so bad)?", "what color is that supposed to be?", "what look were you trying to go for?". All women expect to walk out of a salon and feel beautiful, and be complimented, not questioned. read more

Let me get this out there, I'm picky as hell about who touches my hair. I've been coming to Miva since they had their first store. I've had my hair colored my Minnie and Cassie. I've had my hair cut from Minnie, Cassie and Jocelyn. They always know how to deliver on exactly what I want and they're honest about how long the process would take for me to get to my desired colored. I've had mircohighlights transitioned to a balayage. Most recently I went in for a Balayage and had some lowlights put in to give my hair some more dimension. Cassie is my usual go to girl but to be honest all three ladies do a fantastic job! I can't speak for a junior stylist because I haven't had my hair done by one but if they are learning from Minnie, she knows her stuff. Junior doesn't always mean less experienced they may still be a junior because they take a little longer to get you out of the hair then a senior stylist. Sharing the photo of my microhighlight from my wedding day. One color session done by Minnie and two follow up sessions by Cassie. read more

I love seeing/hearing all the compliments my wife gets on her hair after she's gone to Miva Salon. Minnie did my wife's hair and her attention to detail is second to none! I'll never know the feeling of walking out of a salon feeling like a million bucks, but I bet that's how everyones feels after getting their hair done at Miva Salon. Seeing the smile on my wife's face after her appointment was one of the best things ever and I can't wait to see how her next appointment goes. As for health and safety protocols, I feel like they've done everything possible and more to ensure everyone feels safe when coming here. I wasn't able to go inside with my wife in order to limit the amount of people inside the salon for safety reasons. Every hair station was spaced out with dividers between the chairs as well. I haven't gotten a haircut at my barber's for a while now due to safety concerns but I felt that my wife was very safe with all the extra measured they took at Miva Salon. read more

I had a great experience here, I don't think I'll ever go to another salon. The staff are very kind and really want the best healthiest option for my hair.

I don't know much about hair, but I showed her pictures of what I wanted and she assured me what the best route was to maintain a healthy hair. She didn't bleach towards my roots which I was super happy with, she made the colors blend so evenly. Got compliments from everyone. Just look at that shine! read more

So I went to this salon THREE YEARS ago and I was not happy with my hair. Admittedly I wrote a not so great review, but I figured it's been 3 years why not give this place another shot since it's so close to home and they continue to have great reviews. Boy did I make a mistake. Shortly after my appointment was scheduled the owner responded to my message canceling my appointment because of my "history" with the salon and the negative review I posted THREE YEARS AGO. You would think that they would take this opportunity to regain a customer who would have probably updated their review. But instead I was met with arrogance - I guess their pride is more important than customer service. ‍ read more

Minnie was amazing and so informative. 1. Everyone is extremely welcoming, warm and the salon is lit up with smiles from everyone! From the employee's to even customers (no lie, the vibe was IT lol) 2. Salon is beautiful, clean and well taken care of. They follow the CDC Guidelines, sanitize their stations well and keep a 6ft distance. They're on top of calling you days before your apt to go through some screening questions to ensure the safety of both you and the salon. 3. My stylist Minnie (and even the Stylist next to me who was talking to her client) give honest feedback on your current hair's state before color/ tone/ styling and truly want to give the highest quality care for your hair as well as maintain a balance between what they know is best for your hair from a professional's point of view and what your really want for your hair. (You do sign a waiver so even if you decide to do what you want vs what was professionally recommended, it's on you girl. Take it at your own risk -unless your hair is already healthy and you have no breakage or over processed hair -like i do lol!! ) 4. The KNOWLEDGE my stylist had was at a high standard.
