Annette is amazing!! I've been seeing her for 5+ years and she's the only person I trust with my hair. She's incredibly talented with color and extensions. Her attention to detail is like no other and she always exceeds my expectations. I always leave Morgan James feeling so beautiful :) read more

Annette and her team is just wonderful! I am so happy with my services with the extensions and color. The vibes are the best at the salon. I always love the shows and music playing. Annette is so caring. She hears what I want for my hair and is honest about the expectations. I know some people don't like to hear that. She is so passionate about her job she even customized the k tips for me. She's constantly learning new techniques and is enthusiastic about her profession. I'm so glad I left my other hairstylist who didn't care about my hair because I found a gem of a person! read more

Was referred to this place from a former coworker and WOW! This was my second visit. First visit was a haircut. Second visit was the Malibu treatment and shine. Annette is very talented. I love her vibe... her salon is on point and sophisticated! I did not get a haircut all of 2020 because of the pandemic and thankfully I found Annette cause I feel human again! It's a boujie salon...but if I wanted color, extensions, and a good haircut, I'm definitely coming here!!! They are clean and abide by the covid restrictions! read more

I came to Morgan James Salon for a full highlight service with Morgan. I was unhappy at the end of my appointment, because I was hoping to get brighter results. I communicated this to Morgan at length and felt very dismissed as a client throughout the process. She has not apologized, she has given no effort to reconcile the situation or has given suggestions as to how we can correct the situation, she has taken no accountability on her part and was just plain rude. Instead she put the blame on me saying how I did not communicate to her what my goal was on our non existent consultation, and that I have actually chosen the wrong service for the brightest blond result, even though it is clearly stated on their website as "the best option for guests who want the maximum amount of brightness". She went on to say that with the amount of brown root growth I had come into the salon with and the time frame she was working with, the amount of blonde I got is the most amount of blonde possible to achieve and to be blonder requires another session. As reasonable as it sounds, it was not communicated to me because we never had a consultation. Morgan simply confirmed that we are doing a full head of highlights and I asked that she makes them close to the root. That's it. Had she asked to see a photo or told me that we will not achieve bright results in that amount of time, I would have made different choices. When she wished me the best of luck and nothing further, I went from mad to furious, and yet I still insisted that we somehow come to a compromise. She offered me to come in for 10 foils around the face, which to me was a waste of time, so I declined and asked instead to come in for the same service with a different stylist (Annette) with a discount, but she replied that Annette has nothing to do with this situation and the salon is all independent stylists who run their own individual businesses inside of the salon, so that is not an option. At last, I proceeded to contact Annette explaining the situation as a last resort over a week ago, but she has not even bothered to reply. Overall, I'm glad this happened and I've seen the true colors of the individuals working at the salon. It is unfortunate, but I feel that I gained more then what I've lost. I wrote this review as a way to inform others from experiencing the same situation. There are plenty of other salons that treat their customers with dignity and respect, something Morgan James salon clearly lacks. I would steer clear of this place. read more

My experience with Annette and the Morgan James salon was outstanding. I sought Annette's expertise because of a habit I developed where I essentially was pulling at the hairs by my neck on my left side, leaving a patch of coarse hair that was very odd looking and overall I was very self conscious of it. It was a corrective measure more than cosmetic When I went for my consultation, Annette created an extremely safe space and didn't pass any judgment on my condition. We created a plan and Annette executed flawlessly. Extensions take awhile to "install"... Annette made my two hours in the chair so enjoyable... I didn't want to leave! She is so thorough and explained every step of the process, how to care for the extensions and what I could expect in the coming months. When Annette was finished, I immediately felt 10000x times for confident. I have literally stopped pulling my hair because I don't want to ruin Annette's work. To the untrained eye and from a distance you can't even tell that I have extensions. I will be seeking Annette's expertise for future extensions and also regular hair cuts/maintenance. Annette communicates super well and you know what you are getting and how much it will cost, there is no unknown. I am attaching pictures... again please note I sought Annette's help for corrective measures to stop a habit. I KNEW after my consultation the extensions may be a bit visible but that was much preferred over my situation of patches of rough/ coarse hair read more

Okay, Annette is TRULY the best extension specialist in the entire Bay Area, if not the state of California. (I have spent the past year searching and consulting with ALL of the top stylists within, like, a 3 hour radius :')). You can't get better than her. She is beyond knowledgeable and brilliant at all things hair -- and also has the most artistic eye and attention to detail. She matches my perfectionism :') and makes it SUCH a safe space to say EXACTLY what you want. She always manages to [over]deliver, even when the ask is seemingly impossible! She is the most honest and kind person and I am just in love with everything about her. No matter WHAT type of extensions you want, Annette does them all, and is up on all the latest, most gorgeous trends. So thankful to have gotten in with her! She is pure magic (and so fun and easy to talk to too!). read more

Morgan James Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

The most professional and relaxing hair salons. Pandemic hair, hair loss/ thinning. Needed a pick me up. Morgan was so kind, friendly, and professional. I wanted layers and prefer foread bang coverage. However, she advised otherwise due to the thinning. I wear a headband with buttons that covers my head so my mask straps can NOT be on my ears while at work from 7:30-3pm M-F. I can't really wear my hair up with all that in without looking bald. Explaining all that to Morgan and showing her some sample pictures of short, layered, wash and go messy hair she advices this fantastic cut instead. I LOVE IT and everyone said it's a great look for me. The price maybe a little more then some but to me it's worth it. Trust, tranquil, upbeat, elegant, employees that love where they work and what they do. I would recommend this place to everyone and everyone. read more

Simply the best! I have naturally golden blonde hair with strawberry undertones but wanted something super light & bright. Annette had such a great understanding of what would not only complement my skin tone, but still protect the integrity of my SUPER fine hair. I could not be happier with the results!! The salon itself is so nice inside, and +1 for the TVs by the shampoo bowls for those longer toning sessions. Can't wait to go back! read more

Writing this review due to the unprofessionalism of Keryn at this salon. I messaged Keryn through instagram on 1/17 asking about her tinsel services and she was very helpful and communicative at first and ended up booking an appointment for 2/1. She then messaged me the day of literally 2 HOURS before my appointment that she had to reschedule me without reason, but I messaged her back letting her know my availability. 5 hours later, she posted a video of her working on another client which I find super unprofessional. I understand that there are circumstances that would lead to a cancellation, but for a stylist to cancel last minute on someone with an appointment 2 weeks prior just to work on someone else is ridiculous. It's the carelessness to not even reply to the person you cancelled on but having the audacity to post herself working on someone else. read more

I highly recommend Madison at Morgan James Salon! First of all, the salon is a fun, welcoming environment with gorgeous decor and Friends playing on the TV. I had been going on 6 months and I was overdue for a highlight and major cut. Madison was confident with my vision and gave me the most stunning beige-blonde highlights. I also love my new cut (chopped several inches off)! I've honestly never been so impressed with my hair after a refresh and I am so excited to have found my stylist in the Bay Area! read more

I have been getting my hair done with Madison for about 6 months, and every time she leaves my hair looking flawless! My hair is the healthiest and prettiest it's ever been! Madison also always listens to my wants and delivers! She explains all of the products she uses and what she is doing to my hair during the appointment. Something I really appreciate! I cannot recommend Madison enough! read more

Annette gives me highlights AND lowlights. I love it because my hair doesn't get "Over Blond" after a few high-light treatments. I also need these lowlights because the sun takes the color out of my hair over time leaving me with very blond ends which look like hay. Annette pulls the lowlights through my hair all the way to the ends. read more

Madison Kirby is AMAZING!!!! She is super friendly, and our conversations came naturally. She really takes care of her clients. I wanted to do something different with my hair - it needed a lot of TLC. Madison suggested a half balayage and enhancing my natural hair color - nothing too wild. I trusted her - and glad I did because the result was beyond my expectation. I got lots of compliments from other people. Morgan James Salon is clean and follows proper COVID protocols. I highly recommend this place. Don't forget to look for Madison read more

I found Madison Kirby through her instagram profile and I'm so happy I was able to quickly get an appointment. She did full blonde babylights and took her time to also do a smudge root and tone. As a first time client she explained each step and even showed me how to curl my hair with a new technique. She was friendly, knowledgeable and did a wonderful job. So happy I found her! I left the salon feeling like a million bucks. They were also very committed to enforcing Covid precautions and I felt very safe in the salon. read more

I've been going to Madison for over 4 years now. She is the queen of low-maintenance color and style and gives great advice to her clients on how to take care of their hair. I go to her every 6 months (sometimes longer) due to me being in school, but the fact that she is able to make my color last that long is impressive to say the absolute least. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants high quality, low maintenance hair. read more

Annette is truly the best hairdresser I have ever been to. I have been getting highlights/balayages for many years now, but I was taken aback by the final result achieved at Morgan James! I have always longed for a natural, sun-kissed color, but many hairdressers before always rushed and bleached my hair so light that it looked downright unnatural with my dark eyebrows and naturally light-brown hair. Annette took her time (the whole process took about 4 hours), added some babylights around my face, and the end result was stunning. The roots were untouched enough so that it looks like a legitimate hair color for me, and since I don't get my hair done that often she assured me that the grow out would still look nice. During the whole coloring procedure, I also told her about my struggles of having oily hair and how I can achieve more volume. She took the time to order hair products that are personally suited to my hair needs, and the products were not outrageous in price either. She is very thoughtful and listens to your needs. She does not shove products down your throat or recommends products for money-grabbing purposes--Annette is very non-BS and knows her stuff about hair. Since Annette has an artistic way of coloring hair and she takes a lot of time to achieve a seamless and beautiful result, this is not a cheap procedure. However, I still think it is a good investment especially if you do not like to get your hair done too often since the grow-out still looks beautiful and natural. I highly recommend booking an appointment here-- I personally will not go back to any other salon! read more

I had an extremely disappointing and emotionally upsetting experience with [Annette Murrie]. After three weeks of communication with the owner and stylist, I was left feeling unsupported, unheard, and ultimately dismissed. I initially reached out with excitement, hoping to work with a salon that could understand my needs, provide a professional personalized service and help me feel confident for an important upcoming trip. I shared my schedule well in advance, including my departure for vacation, and invested time and energy into discussing the details. We secured a set 3 appointments for various services to achieve my final goal. At the consultation, we both shared our goals and adjusted them accordingly based on the feedback I received from the stylist. Annette's overly communicating style was a bit overwhelming and felt that she was trying to protect herself and justify the high price that she charges. Rather easing my anxiety, the stylist presented a cookie-cutter approach with little flexibility or willingness to customize and explore something more unique, playing rather safe. At my next appointment (a week later), we had agreed to do a money-piece highlight around my face. At the end of the session, the hair didn't lift as expected (again, saying because I have old dye in my hair that refuse to lift). It turned orangey instead of light brown/blonde shade. I wasn't very happy but then we discussed that may be another session would help achieve my goal. I trusted the process as she supposedly is the expert. When I asked if she would consider giving a discount since I will have to pay for 2 sessions, she completely refused without any compassion. What made this experience even more upsetting was how it ended. My next appointment was a week later scheduled to install the hair weft which she ordered and I had to pay in advance. When she got the weft, she shared a video with me and I asked her if we could customize the highlights of the weft to match my expectations so that it blends a bit more with my hair. Her response was "I don't get into customizing." Then a while later, she wrote me this long text message (not even bothered to call) and I was informed that she didn't think we were the "right match" to work together. After weeks of communication and my emotional investment, her to inform me at the last minute that we weren't the "right match" to work together?!?! Are you serious? This decision blindsided me and left me scrambling to find another salon right before my trip (which I still haven't been able to secure). The lack of respect for my time and feelings was deeply hurtful, and the way this was handled caused unnecessary stress during an already busy time in my life. While I understand that not every client and stylist relationship is a fit, but this experience went beyond communication; it left me feeling undervalued and emotionally drained. A salon experience should make a client feel supported and empowered, not the opposite. Based on how poorly this situation was handled, I cannot recommend Morgan James Salon and more specifically Annette to anyone. I hope they take this feedback seriously and work on improving their consultation process, communication, and commitment to providing a more respectful and client-centered experience in the future. read more

Update: Docking another star for the owner's response to my original review (which she's now deleted after seeing this updated review). What do you mean I didn't share the full story? Your response to my review was exactly what I wrote in my review - that you guys fit me in and I appreciated that, but the unprofessionalism is what caused me to give you a poor review. Let me be very clear about the business owners response: I did not write this review because you only "offered me machine tied weft extensions and I thought that was unacceptable". Not once in any of my correspondence to Morgan or in my review did I say that so your response is untrue. I wrote the review for one reason and it's because of how Morgan responded unprofessionally to me. You want a break down of everything that happened so here it is: - I contacted Annette on Instagram because I had an urgent need for extensions. Annette was nice, but was honest that she couldn't get me the hair in time and I appreciated her honesty. I asked about the other stylists and she says her salon is an independent artist salon so she wouldn't know what hair they have or their schedule. (Good to know - I didn't know that it was independent.) - I contacted Morgan and she was nice and responsive too and was willing to help me. She got me in for a 10 min consultation the next day, told me she'd use the machine tied weft extensions and I told her I'd Google it went I got home to learn more. She said no mention of why we were doing this style over another nor did she tell me if this was good or bad when I mentioned concerns about my fine hair. We agreed she wouldn't order anything until she got back to me to see if there's availability and the cost. - I got home and Googled "machine tied weft extensions" to see if they were safe on fine hair and not one single article said they were safe and in fact, many said they were not good for fine hair. I spent hrs reading through articles and got nothing. - I texted Morgan my concern and asked her about other styles she offers and Morgan responded unprofessionally with a novel of a text saying she's uncomfortable because I don't trust her as a professional and a long rant that sent red flags flying, which prompted me to read the negative reviews and found others had similar experience as me: when you raise something that they don't like, their friendly act goes out the window and they turn into someone else and become unprofessional and start to blame their clients. [I'm glad I did my research and brought it up because I then read Liliana's review 2 months before mine and she got the heavy machine tied weft extensions and said it caused damage to her hair and that Annette blamed it on her hair.] After that, I kindly told her to cancel my upcoming appointment and blocked her because I didn't want to get another novel of a text from her. - I then wrote my original Yelp review, which is 100% a true, honest and accurate account of my experience. Annette responded blaming me, as she has with other clients who have left her poor reviews. My experience here with Annette and Morgan turned out disappointing, to say the least. The continuous lack of self-awareness and ownership is baffling. Maybe try putting yourself in the client's shoes - If you had concerns with your fine, thin hair, go to a stylist who tells you they'll do machine tied weft extensions, you Google it and find out it's not good for your hair and so you share your concerns and see if there's other options and the stylist goes from being super nice to unprofessional and texted you like Morgan did to me - do you genuinely feel that's professional and appropriate and you want to be treated like that? Not every client who posts a negative review is a liar out to get you; some are like me - good, honest, hard working tech professionals who had a very poor experience with your business and how you treated them and you should take ownership of your wrong doings ESPECIALLY if there are multiple reviews that state the same. read more

‼If you want the BEST HAIR OF YOUR LIFE (I am NOT exaggerating)!!) you need to come to Morgan James salon and see Annette. I have seen multiple stylists over the years with ample experience, and nobody has taken care of my finicky scalp and hair texture the way that Annette has. I was exceptionally close to giving up on my hair and shaving my head (you'll believe me when you see the "before" photos) and she absolutely TRANSFORMED my look. I am blown away and loyal forever. read more

This review is loooooong overdue. I've been coming to this salon ever since I moved to the area about 2 years ago. They specialize in extensions and blondes, but my god they've worked their magic on my long, brunette, Latina locks. I have really red/brassy undertones but they've made ashy happen for me when I've requested it :) Over the years I've noticed there has always been a commitment to improve the quality of styling, the salon, tools, services, interior design, and the customer service. I enjoy coming back every few weeks to see what's new, what deal they are offering, and what cool new trends they are trailblazing. My favorite thing has always been the shampoo chairs. By far the most comfortable shampoo experience I've ever had!!! And they've even added TVs to the room as well as add-on treatments like scalp massage - it's so relaxing. At previous salons I've had neck kinks after being shampooed but the quality stations here prevent that for me. The scalp massage is sooooo good it gives me goosebumps and instantly relaxes me. So much better than Drybar. My main stylist has always been Annette. I always look forward to our conversations about family, culture, traditions and our doggies. I've also had some styling and tanning services done by Morgan who is also very talented. Their entire team is kind and very supportive of each other which is a nice dynamic to be around...great energy. 100% of the time, I leave looking fabulous. Once, I had the stylist point out a spot to me that she wasn't confident in because it didn't blend entirely (but I could hardly tell). She asked me to come back as soon as possible to fix, free of charge. If that isn't integrity and respect for their craft, idk what is. I always leave this place happy. Anyway, they're great. Give them a shot, you won't regret it. It's always a plus to support small yet talented, family-owned businesses just doing their best to make people feel beautiful, and always looking for ways to improve the process. read more

I came to this salon in hopes if obtaining hair extensions, I was told I needed (color correction) before we could order the correct color of hair... $500 dollars later I came out with the color in the photo... the extensions were too heavy and too tight which caused my hair to break off. Hair extension damage happens when the extensions are attached too tightly or incorrectly . This combination of weight and strain on the hair follicles can cause the hair to fall out. I only had the extensions in for a total of 8 weeks and had so much pain and was constantly told by Annette that it was my hair and scalp that were the problem. I have spoken to numerous stylists and they have all said the extensions were way too heavy for my scalp, overall a very tough experience read more

I've seen Madison Kirby two times and both times it was like seeing a friend who was exceptionally talented at hair! She's so friendly, and she's really listening to what her clients want. She's very knowledgeable about different styling methods, and she's very good with my thick, naturally wavy hair, very full head of hair. A lot of my prior hair stylists would complain about "how much" hair I have but Madison's never been intimidated by it! She's very good at what she does and I recommend her to all my friends and family. I also want to plug that the Morgan James Family as a whole is VERY serious about COVID-19 sanitation and ensuring the safety of their guests. Masks are required in the salon, and they make sure you wash your hands and disinfect before you go into the salon. I was really impressed by the measures the salon went to! I'm definitely going to be a customer for life! I love this salon :) read more

I'm in love! This salon is just what I've been looking for, and so is Madison Kirby!! I moved back to California three years ago, and have tried 3-4 appointments with four different stylists, and never really clicked with the them or their work on me. I booked a cut and color with Madison, and wow! I finally felt that my hair goal was considered. We had a great consult about what condition my hair was in and the next steps to get me where I'm going (a cute balayage that doesn't wreck my hair or require tons of maintenance), and I had an absolute blast at the appointment. Also, she gave me a few tips on styling my hair that didn't feel like a sales pitch. She genuinely gave me a play by play on the best way to use a curling wand that I can actually use on the regular. I'm obsessssed with my cut - my hair feels so healthy, so chic! I'm booked to come back for a full balayage next month and I can't wait! I highly recommend Madison. She's so sweet and really delivered on what I asked for. Also, definitely check out her instagram; it's a great place for reference photos. IG@hairbymadisonkirby read more

I love this salon. I have been going here since it's old ownership, The Sanctuary Salon, and Annette has changed this salon into something that feels fresh and bright, with stylists who clearly like each other and work well together. The salon has such a fun and relaxing vibe; I feel very calm while I'm there. Madison is the best - she has transformed my hair. I always thought I had bad hair and there was no point to do anything to it, except get a cut every 6 months. I am so happy I told Maddie I was interested in balayage, because once I took the plunge and let it happen, I was shocked by how great my hair could look. She uses lowlights and highlights to give it so much dimension, and I get so many complements on my hair. I completely trust her to take care of me every time I go in... she's just the best! You won't regret going to this salon! Every one is so warm and welcoming, and Maddie really cares about making your hair look great and making you feel great! read more

I've been wanting to add color to my hair without damaging it, so I was looking into adding tinsels. I got a blowout and added the tinsel installation as well. Annette and her partner were very sweet and asked me every step of the way if I liked how the tinsels were looking. They made me feel really comfortable even though I am a very quiet person, and I know some people find it awkward, lol. I felt very welcomed and loved the outcome of the tinsels on my hair. I have been getting so many compliments. I would recommend it! :) read more

I heart Liz! I absolutely love my normal stylist in Castro Valley but let's face facts; I live in Santa Clara and Castro Valley is freakin far... I normally get my roots touched and my hair toned every 6 weeks, with the holidays I've had to cancel numerous appointments with my girl in CV. Enter Sanctuary Salon. I am PICKY and TRUST NO ONE with my hair!!! I went to 4 different consults before deciding to have Liz work on my hair. We did a full highlight, added some low lights, root smudge and I went back 2 days later for a hair cut. My hair looks great, I've received multiple compliments and Liz was super sweet. She was fairly quick with the foils and was patient with my resistant hair. I know my hair will only lift to a certain point and can take a ton of abuse. I told her this in advance, rather than pushing my hair and trying to blast it all, she went with a 30 volume on the root and 5 on the ends...this might be foreign to some of you but basically it means she used a gentle bleach on the bottom to keep the integrity of my hair. This to me shows pride and thoughtful consideration in her work. I don't know about the negative comments people have made about Annette, she was really nice to me over email and in the salon. Long story short, after one session I texted my sister to tell her we have a new stylist. read more

Annette gave me the Keratin Treatment a couple of weeks ago and it has been amazing. She was very kind and accommodating, given that I had reached out to her on short notice. I naturally have very frizzy curls, and I wanted my hair to be tamer. Annette thoroughly explained the whole process of the treatment, and she delivered exactly what I wanted! My hair now has a nice wave and shine to it, and it is so much easier to style. Assuming the treatment lasts as long as it should (3-6 months), I imagine that I will come again :) Thank you Annette!! read more

A review you will want to read. I have been getting hair extensions since 2018. I started seeing Annette in 2022. The first appointment I had she forgot to order my hair.. but I didn't make it a big deal. I have maybe had a row unravel 1-2 times in all the years I have had these. Unfortunately I had rows unravel multiple times since seeing Annette but honestly I wasn't upset.. these things happen and I would just reach out to her to have it fixed. My last appointment was one of her EZ move ups and a week later my bottom row unraveled. I reached out to her to see about getting in to fix it and she CANCELLED ME AS A CLIENT... confusing right?
