    Time to freshen up the 'do with Minnie
    Cheryl M.

    *** Miva Salon is the BEST *** I've been seeing the owner, Minnie for 4+ years now and always leave the salon happy...she is a true professional: great with suggesting color based on your skin tone, provides honest feedback and expertise to help you make a decision on cut, color, style. Salon is following COVID safety protocols to keep staff and clients safe. Priced competitively with salons in the area but Miva Salon is top notch and has a very modern, clean, and energetic vibe with talented and friendly stylists. Make your appointment with Miva and you'll come out feeling refreshed! Plenty of FREE street and garage parking

    Ash blonde balayage and micro highlights by Minnie
    Roxane T.

    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!

    In love

    I've had a great many hair adventures with Kellan at Miva Salon. She does amazing work and always errs on the side of caution when doing a big change (like I did)! Thanks for being so patient with my wild hair! I'm attaching some of the changes I've gone through the last few years. Can't wait to try more colors.

    Amazing balayage and cut by Kellan
    Sophia L.

    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.

    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!

    I have been coming here for years and I really love Minnie! She is the best! She does an amazing job with hair coloring.

    Teresa C.

    Kellan is my GIRL!!! She always takes such good care of me and slays my hair color every time! She has great energy and we always have great conversations! She'll definitely take care of you and give you what you asked for. 10/10 would recommend

    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!

    New cut and color Blanka always has my hair looking fabulous!!
    antoinette m.

    Blanka is an amazing stylist she always cares about the condition of my hair and always matches my hair with perfect colors to cover the gray!! She always has me looking great when I leave her salon with beautiful bouncy hair

    The after!! Blanca did an amazing job!
    Amun B.

    This was my first time coming to Miva Salon and I had the best experience! Blanca was absolutely wonderful! She listened to all my concerns and executed a vision for my hair beautifully! 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 appreciate the time she took to give me the look I wanted! I'm so happy with how it turned out!!

    Everyone from Lupe at the reception, my stylist Blanca, and the owner Minnie made my experience for my mommy makeover memorable. I was very satisfied with my results but they treated me like family and that shows the great value of a business.

    dream hair!!
    Kathleen W.

    I literally cannot stop staring at my hair!!!! Thank you so much to Kellan and the whole team at Miva for their amazing work. I've wanted to dye my hair blue since I was on high school and after many years I decided to go for it. I'm so glad to have found Kellan!! Previous to my appt, I went in for my consultation and she was honest about expectations for my hair and even gave a very reasonable quote. The whole team was so patient and helpful. She gave me the hair of my dreams!!! 10/10 recommend!!!

    Lianne D.

    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!

Although, parking kinda sucks, and it is the Main Street with so many cars, her place is so cute! Inside her place, there plenty of seating, and a lot of chairs available. For the most part, whenever I go see her, I'm probably the only other client inside - just incase you guys get nervous for Covid reasons. Nancy is so welcoming. She starts off asking you what you want to do with your hair, and she observes and starts framing your face to see if you would like it and gives out suggestions as needed. Then she washes your hair, and then she begins the cut. She's so knowledgable in the industry. She given me helpful advice on how to maintain my hair. For reference, I've always had to wash my hair daily because it's always getting so oily. So she's given me tips on how to prevent it. And after 6 months of following tips, and seeing what works for me, my hair is fuller, healthier, and thriving as I've mentioned. She also sells products in house just in case you want to obtain professional items. I highly recommend her. You won't regret it.

What impressed me most was his attention to hair integrity. Instead of trying to push my hair too far in one session, he was very honest and set realistic expectations based on my previous color and the condition of my hair. I originally wanted a very creamy pale vanilla blonde. Jim explained how far we could safely go in one appointment without risking damage or breakage. I really appreciated that honesty, because protecting the health of my hair was clearly his priority. Even though we couldn't go all the way to my final goal in one session, he absolutely set me up for success. The result is a soft dimensional blonde that looks beautiful and natural, and interestingly my hair actually seems to look lighter and brighter as the days go by, especially when sunlight hits it. Jim clearly plans the process in stages. I will most likely return in a couple of months for baby highlights to brighten the crown and continue moving toward the creamy vanilla tone I ultimately want. The salon itself is also a great environment. Jim and his staff are friendly, welcoming, and professional, and you can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the health of their hair. Overall I'm extremely happy with the result and very grateful for Jim's skill and honesty. If you're looking for balayage, blonde highlights, or color correction in the area, I highly recommend Jim's Hair Salon. I also strongly recommend calling and making an appointment. Although they will take walk-ins, you just never know when somebody - who already has an appointment - is getting a corrective balayage with highlights and babylights and is hogging up all their time. LOL

    This review is for Libby…read more I've been seeing Libby for over two years and actually travel back to the Bay Area just to have my hair done by her - that's how good she is. She's a true color magician. She helped me transition through the awkward grey stage at exactly the right time, and later brought me back to light brown in a way that blends beautifully with my fast-growing greys and grows out naturally without constant upkeep. The moment I knew I could fully trust her was when she gave me a short haircut, something I'm usually very hesitant about and absolutely nailed it. Finding a stylist who is genuinely excellent at both color and cutting is surprisingly rare, and Libby is both. She listens carefully, understands the science behind how color and texture behave, and designs styles that actually look great as they grow out not just the day you leave the chair. She's also warm, funny, and incredibly easy to be around. Even my husband, who normally avoids hair maintenance altogether, got a cut from her and loved it. If you care about grey transition, natural grow-out, or just want low-maintenance hair that still looks polished, Libby is the one.

    I'm writing this review for my mom (she has dementia)and these are my thoughts and observations…read more For one, this was the first time here because my mom's hairdresser lost her place in Dublin, so she found a stall here. Anyways, the place itself is pretty convenient since it's located by the freeway. The place is surprisingly pretty big and spacious and my mom's hairdresser is always patient and polite. I will admit probably for my mom's next visit I'll have to stick around a tad longer and help my mom and her hairdresser when my mom gets her hair washed. So not everything there is I guess ADA available, but it's a minor thing for now since my mom has very limited mobility but can move with some assistance. As for the hairstyle, mom is always happy and I personally think makes her feel as normal as she can get these days and being content let alone having another outside interaction besides with me is always a good thing!
