    Post-tone and cut with Vanessa (previous balayage elsewhere)
    Stephanie F.

    OVERALL VALUE 4.5/5 I would say this was a fab place overall. It's only been a few days since my tone and cut so we'll see how the color stays but it was overall a good value compared to the other places in the Bay Area! AMBIENCE 5/5 Overall, the salon is split between the hair side, and the spa side (where you can get facials and such). It's a cute lil place in the middle of burlinggame! I was lucky with parking and was able to park for free on one of the side streets. Apparently, the two hour parking can be more than two hours... ;-) otherwise, there is meter parking on the street in front of the shop. STYLIST 5/5 As I was a new client to Nabi salon, Su was not taking new customers, but I was able to schedule with Vanessa. The earliest appointment with her was about 2 to 3 weeks out and she was an absolute doll! I originally scheduled for a balayage to fix up my year-old-grown out prior dye. However after talking to Vanessa about my goal to go more natural, we ended up doing a tone and cut. It was great since she really listened to what I wanted! :) The cut was nice and simple and my hair looked SOO much healthier! Would recommend others to come!

    I've been going to Nabi Hair Salon for quite some time now (many years) I primarily go to Vanessa and Su, but have had the previlage to work with Stylists at their sister salon as well. I went in this time for a double process balayage. Mind you since I've been going for ages half the time I don't even care what they do to me including amount of hair that is cut because they have done such an exepctional job at hitting it right on the nail 100% of the time that I already know whatever they do will look amazing. They are super sweet and knowledgeable and give suggestions on what color/tone would suit my skin tone in addition to what style cut would compliment my face shape. They make me feel extremely comfortable and confident the moment I walk in. They are very personable and explain the process step by step so that you understand what is going on. I have had nothing but satisfactory results since I began going to them. I am so incredibly happy I stumbled across them. I moved temporarily to Modesto for 2 years and would drive down just for Nabi every 3 months for a trim and tone and a bit longer for the balayage when my roots would grow. I will never go anywhere else. They have made it extremely hard to find anything/ anyone better. When booking an appointment they are very transparent start to finish and very informative they ask questions if you don't know exactly what you want. I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you Su, Vanessa, and team for creating such a welcomeing environment. I always appreciate your patience with me and I am so grateful you guys work with me on dates/time since being a mommy of 3 you have made my self care time extremely pleasant. I am posting a few pics from over the years. I originally had jet black virgin hair. When I consulted with Su and Vanessa they made it extremely clear that the process would take a few sessions to get to my inspo image so that my hair would not damage or fry and fall off in attempting to do it in one sitting. I appreciated their honesty and decided to trust the process. I have 0 regrets.

    Color and layer hair cut

    So thrilled I have found Su! I was looking for a go to hair salon near the neighborhood and found Nabi salon via Yelp. I called in to make an appointment 2 months in advance and was excited to get a fresh look. I went in and got seated right away. Su made sure to understand my needs and gave me suggestions. We agreed on the color and style and she worked her magic! I wanted to have warm brown color and layer hair cut. Throughout the process, she informed me of what each steps were and made me feel comfortable. I was very satisfied with my new look and will be coming back. Make sure to call in advance because she books up!

    Due to quarantine, my hair turned into an overgrown mop with faded color and an annoying length. Needless to say I was desperate for a refresh! My previous hairstylist was furloughed so I took some time to research reviews for a new hairstylist. I wanted a simple yet classy salon, with a friendly and honest vibe. Looked on Yelp and found Nabi Salon and with all their high ratings, I figured I'd give them a try. So happy I met Vanessa!!! She took time to understand my daily routine, the styles I was considering and how much maintenance I was intending to do. I liked that she was upfront and careful about their COVID precautions and procedures it definitely made me less anxious about the exposure. She was also very approachable and easy to get along with, I felt like I had gained a new friend. I'm so happy with how may hair turned out, I look forward to going back! Thanks again Vanessa and Su! You ladies are amazing!

    I appreciate everyone on the Nabi/Aria Beauty Bar teams for always being accommodating, kind and professional. Vance deserves a special shoutout for the AMAZING work he does -- not to mention his vast skillset! I've tried it all with him -- blonde, platinum, dark brunette, a balayage with a statement piece, curtain bangs, straight across bangs, layering and extensions... I wouldn't trust anyone but Vance and his assistant Lana to help me. He's always made my hair dreams come true and is good at setting the proper outcome expectations to avoid any surprises (I take big risks as you can see in my photos lol). If you're looking for any of these services, I'd recommend you visit Vance for a consultation. Not to mention the area is super cute. I've never really had trouble parking close to the shop entrance, but be careful on weekends since the shops are located right downtown. Spots fill up fast.

    Cut and style by Vance
    Diana G.

    TLDR: Will be coming back! Vance did great! Understood what I wanted and will be asking for him next time! Haircut was $100 so it might be pricey if all you're looking for is a trim. I got maybe 4 inches cut. My hair was dyed May 2022 and it still had some blonde in it. The ends of my hair was DEAD so I knew it was time to get it cut. My sister suggested I go to a place that specializes in Asian hair, so after some searching on Yelp, I found Nabi Salon~ I made an appointment and it wasn't until a week out. Their website said $75 for a cut so I knew it was going to be expensive going in but it was fine since I don't get my hair cut often. I found residential parking because parking all around is 2-hour only (ended up not needing it since my cut took 45 mins). First impression: the floor tiles of Nabi Salon looked "worn" and the space was kinda tight. Their sister salon next door, the Aria Beauty Bar was more spacious. I was offered water beforehand so that was nice~ I showed Vance some reference photos on Yelp and he understood what I wanted and offered some suggestions too. In the end, I loved the cut! The haircut was $100 and I tipped so it's pretty pricey if you all you're looking for is a trim. I got 4 inches cut so it made sense for the price. They didn't put heat protectant in my hair before blow drying and curling my hair so I was concerned it would damage my hair but the blow drying and curling didn't seem like extensive. Overall, I'll be back!

    I feel very lucky that I found Su on Yelp last year. Since pandemic started, I haven't ventured out to the salons, and I got the awful "pandemic" hair. My hair grew very long, and I decided to book an appointment at Nabi Salon with Su. It took probably almost 4 or 5 months before they had an appointment at the time, but I was super determined to have my hair done by her, and I am glad I waited. It was one of the best decisions I have made. I went in with a photo of a Korean celebrity who got this gorgeous ashy blue hair, and I didn't really think it would be achieved on my black hair, and especially in one appointment. The result got me shocked, because it was exactly what I wanted! Su is an amazing hair stylist, and Vanessa is also super sweet. I get compliments on my hair all the time, and I recommend her to all my coworkers and friends. I always feel beautiful after every hair appointment, and come out of the salon feeling like a new woman. Thank you Su!

    Mirabella M.

    My first time getting my hair professionally done and I had a great experience with Vanessa! I was really nervous to part with my virgin hair but Vanessa was very helpful in explaining the process and what would look best and work best for me based on my lifestyle. There's metered parking out front or free parking in residential area if you're lucky! My service came out to $215 for color, wash, cut, and style (about 3 hours long). Thank you, Su and Vanessa! I'll definitely be back!

    Single-process balayage on virgin hair
    Brenda M.

    Wonderful job! Love how careful they are during the pandemic. I was the only client in the salon during my appointment! Easy to find residential parking nearby. Pricing is as listed on their website. If you're ever looking for the place to get your hair colored and/or cut, go to Vanessa! She is so thorough and friendly and really takes her time to understand exactly what you want. I trust her entirely and would definitely go back to her for my next session. I would not hesitate to recommend Nabi salon!

    I booked an appointment for a full head highlight and a haircut. The time required for this service…read morewas listed as 5 hours and 45 minutes, and that's exactly how much time I set aside. I was greeted by a hairdresser, a shorter woman with long hair. I showed her a picture of what I wanted. Of course, I understand it can't look exactly like the photo, but I asked if it could be as close as possible to the desired result. She said my hair would be much lighter than my current color, especially since I was doing highlights on the entire head. I emphasized that I did not want yellow tones. However, I was given only partial highlights, and the ends of my hair were not even touched. When everything was finished, I could only see a few "yellow" strands--that's all I got. The whole process, including the haircut and blow-dry, was completed between 11:30 AM and 3:00 PM, which is much shorter than the planned 5 hours and 45 minutes. Clearly, the full service was not done. I was charged for the service I originally booked, even though it was not performed. I asked for the price to be adjusted, and she recalculated it by adding root coloring. After that, the difference in price was only $10. If that was supposed to be charged, why wasn't it mentioned from the beginning? Realistically, I should have only paid for the haircut and blow-dry--nothing more. When I washed my hair at home, it was yellow, dry, and damaged. I could have filed a complaint with my bank for a refund, but I decided not to. I want to find a solution for my hair as soon as possible, because after the service at this salon, it looks terrible--and I paid $450 for it. Pay close attention when looking at their photos, because what you see there is something you will never get in this salon or with this hairdresser. I may be a foreigner in this country, but I've been getting my hair professionally colored for the past 20 years, and I know that what I'm asking for is achievable. I've had this color before, so my hair is not the problem. The problem is that the hairdresser does not know how to do her job. Don't be misled by the ratings and photos of this salon.

A friend recommended Cosh so I decided to give it a try. When I made my appointment, I filled out a short questionnaire - length of hair, extensions/no extensions, etc. Also asked if I wanted a cooling or warming eye mask. I decided on a Rejuvenate treatment. When I arrived, Whitney greeted me. I was offered a beverage while waiting then was given a warm face towel to freshen up. Molly took me to her station to set me up. She took photos of my scalp. Whitney came over to explain what I was looking at. Based on those photos, she informed Molly which products would be best to use. Even though my scalp was in good condition, Whitney suggested an exfoliating/nourishing scalp solution. She asked about my pain tolerance as some clients felt it irritated their scalp. She told me that if anything bothered me, I should tell Molly immediately and she would make sure I was OK (e.g. if the scalp solution burned, tell Molly and she would immediately rinse it out). During the treatment, my scalp felt a bit irritated. If Molly was massaging that part of my scalp it was fine. There was a point where steam was used as part of the treatment. My throat wasn't happy but it was stopped. Afterwards, there wasn't an appreciable change since my scalp was already in good condition. It looked like it had been moisturized. My hair felt softer. I was relaxed and happy. Whitney suggested I massage my scalp the next few day to get the most out of the "red light" treatment. I've been doing that and my scalp feels looser. The entire experience was lovely. I left feeling pampered. I'll be back.

    Cosh Head Spa is so cute and the perfect luxury to treat yourself to. Scalp spas are all the rage,…read moreespecially in Burlingame (where there's three or four just in the downtown radius)! I came here for a hydrafacial and cleanse for my scalp in the evening. Booking online is swift and can be done with no issues! The front desk lady was incredibly sweet and we chit chatted about going to Japan together. She also recommended that I upgraded from cleanse to the detox package, which I enjoyed thoroughly. The woman giving me my scalp analysis spoke quite thoroughly on the state of my scalp and how I would continue forward to take care of it. I would recommend not washing your hair the day of or day before to get the most out of your analysis, she did mention it was a bit difficult to ascertain the state of it (but it was still clear from the photos up close). She mentioned that our scalp is similar to our face skin, I have combination for both (oily in the T zones and dry on the other portions/sides of my head). I still had a decent amount of sebaceous filaments after my hydrafacial, but I would come back here again for the scalp spa experience. It's very cozy and tucked on the outskirts of downtown Burlingame where there's plenty of residential parking and a parking structure. The workers are friendly and the interior has a calm ambiance that's very conducive to a relaxing experience.
