Megan K.

Called on a Saturday morning and was told to come in Saturday afternoon for a haircut and color. This was awesome to be able to come in on such late notice. My hair had been dead and "boring" for about the last year. Texted Nina for color consultation which was super convenient and easy. Walked into my appointment, was greeted and offered something to drink. My appointment took about 3 hours but seriously such a great job and completely worth the time. I am absolutely loving my new hair! Nina and I talked about my boyfriend and I going out that night so she made sure to go out of her way to blow dry and style it. Appreciated the extra effort so much and the ladies in there were so sweet the entire time. A great atmosphere for a salon and can't wait to go back!

Salon Elegante is conveniently located in Orinda across from Theater Square. They offer excellent professional service and it's easy to schedule appointments. The owner Nina is lovely,  I see her monthly for hair colors and hair cuts every other month and she makes sure my hair looks the best. She did a beatiful hair style and make up for my wedding celebration.  I highly recommend this hair salon!

I rarely write a review but after so many compliments on my highlights, I had to write this one! I can go on for ever on how much I like this place and Nina , I have been coming to Nina for 3 years. She is super friendly and incredibly talented with hair. She always listens and knows exactly what to do with your hair to make you gorgeous! The atmosphere in the salon is so warm and relaxing that I feel like family every time I walk into it . They always offer something to drink ; tea, coffee, wine ... you won't be disappointed

LOVE my blonde color by Nina!!

I love this hair salon as it is true to its name, it's elegant! Nina is my stylist there and she is WONDERFUL. She is so accommodating and very talented. She provides VIP treatment from the start to the finish. She not only does hair, she also is a make-up artist. This salon is located in the heart of Orinda and is easy to access. If you are seeking a great hair stylist in Orinda, reach out to Nina. She is an absolute gem!

Can't stop staring at my hair! Love it!

The salon is beautiful. An I love downtown Orinda. But I have to brag about the hair stylist Krystina. I left the salon gitty with happiness over love for my hair.

Make up so good

I just have to reiterate that Nina is the absolute best. So extremely talented and listens to exactly what her customers want. She also did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she did an amazing job, and I got so many compliments. She knows exactly what to do to make you look good in pictures and ensure your hair stays perfect for the whole day. Can't say enough good things about her.

This is my go-to store for any Asian brand beauty items (e.g. skincare, makeup, hair, softest…read morecotton pads, etc). I love going here because I get to try things before I commit to purchasing. It's never crowded and parking is much more reasonable than other places. The store is very bright. They have so many things to try and they sell individual sheet-masks so that you can sample it at home before committing to purchasing the full pack. Everything is reasonably priced and you don't have to wait for shipping! They have a small table for clearance items by the front door and carry some Asian snacks towards the back. I've bought so many Korean/Japanese brand make-up/skincare products from here like PeriPeri, Shiseido, Hera, Kahi, Innisfree, Naturie, Clio, SK-II, Cle de Peau, and more but too many to list. ***If you've never had luxury soften cotton pads, I suggest you to purchase one from here!! Don't sand your skin with cotton pads you buy from your local market or retailer store*** Also, they have a loyalty points reward system so make sure to sign-up! NOTE: most items are in a different language so pull your phone out and use the photo translate feature. Sometimes the staff can help with translation, but when they can't they will give you an idea what it is or they'll look it for you.

Lots of options to select from. Will be back to check out more options…read more Thanks

Dishonest and inconsistent policies. I spent over $100 on a shampoo/conditioner, only to realize…read moreafter getting home that the products contained ingredients I avoid. I returned the very next morning with the items completely unopened, only to be told that they don't issue refunds, only store credit (even for unused products). This is especially frustrating because I've returned items at this exact location before with no issue, and Planet Beauty's own corporate site clearly states they honor refunds within 30 days for unused items with the original receipt. When I reached out to corporate for clarification, the customer service was unhelpful and dismissive. Seemed to lack basic comprehension skills and was clearly not willing or interested in resolving anything. If this is a new policy, it's unreasonable to expect customers to discover it printed on the back of a receipt after making a purchase. Policy changes should be communicated upfront at the register so customers can make an informed decision. Additionally, I've been a member of their rewards program for over 10 years, half the time I provide my information for the 20% discount, it's not honored. Bottom line: I've been a loyal shopper here, but the lack of transparency and unwillingness to stand by their own stated policies makes me think twice about ever shopping at Planet Beauty again, I certainly won't return to this store

As a new business owner in the area, I stepped inside of Planet Beauty to start my Christmas…read moreshopping early for my 5 sisters. What I noticed was how aesthetically pleasing the store was, and how great the product displays were! There is also quite a selection to choose from, so I am pleased to say Ill be back! Debby, the store owner, is doing a fantastic job!

This Sally's is really close to me, and is on my way to target...so yay another distraction on my…read moreway home! I had gone to Target to prepare for a friend's birthday party and really wanted to get a last minute nail polish, OPI Alpine Snow, and they were out of stock. On my way home, I decided to hit up Sally's because although I hadn't been there for a while, I remember them having a nail collection. It's a small Sally's and it can get a bit messy when there's stock, but there's so much two girls can do with so many customers. No blame at all. They even apologized when I was the area of the stock looking at items. Thanks for the apology, but I know how it is, no problem at all! A lot of the items don't have prices on them so I felt really bad having to continually ask the girls how much they cost. I was really happy that they were having a sale on their OPI! At target, they were going for around $8.60, but here they were for $11.50 but it was buy one get one free, which made it well worth it! I also saw fake nails, and although I have really strong nails, I had short nails at the time and wanted to try fake nails for fun. I still never ended up doing it, but with Roxanna's advice I got the fake nail, glue, and the buffer for my nails. Actually, while I'm here Roxanna was so friendly and helped me a lot since I am completely lost when it comes to nails. Thanks Roxanna! (Or Roxanne, I couldn't really hear you)

When I returned, there was one employee talking to a customer. I picked up the four items I wanted and waited at the register, but she didn't acknowledge me--no "I'll be with you shortly," nothing. She continued talking to the other customer while I waited. Eventually, I gave up, left all the items at the register, and walked out. Her behavior showed a complete disregard for customer service, rudeness, and unprofessionalism.
