Where to begin. I found Raquel through Groupon as I'm new to the area. My first appointment with her was great and I left feeling really happy with the whole experience (cut, color, style). I went back to her for a full balayage and toner treatment to get the color adjusted. She absolutely nailed it with the coloring. I was speechless when I saw my hair! I've gotten tons of compliments from friends about my hair and the color specifically. Raquel's prices are worth the skill level and diligence she has to create exactly what you ask for. She spent almost 3 hours on me during my recent appointment. I can't imagine going to anyone else for my hair cut/color needs. read more

The salon is 1:1 style with a very cozy vibe. 10/10 service and execution. I left feeling heard and received what I was hoping in terms of color and style. read more

I was looking for haircut near me, since there is no walk-in so I called so many hair salons and I made scheduled with Raquel. Her place is really nice and new!! But her skill is excellent, I have thick and long hair which she made more shape and lighter. I'm really happy with the hair cut!!!! I will return soon :) read more

See all

My bridal hair was an absolute dream. Raquel made me feel and look like a princess. She took my ideas and Pinterest photos and created a look that was unique to me and my vision. Raquel is incredibly talented and exceeded all of my expectations. She is truly passionate in her field. This contributes to her effortless ability to make her brides feel comfortable and beautiful in their own skin. Thank you Raquel, your amazing!!!!!! read more

This was my first time getting a balayage and I found her Groupon deal. She's a really sweet and kind lady that is very welcoming and really pays attention to what's best for her customer. I'm really content with my balayage since she followed what I asked for, which was no blonde or orange. I was afraid at first getting my hair done because I didn't want it to become messed up like my friends' experience from other hair stylists, but I'm really content and in love with Raquel's service! Would highly recommend and visit again :) read more

Came here after a friend of mine got me her groupon as a surprise. Very glad she did! Raquel knows what she's doing and did exactly what I wanted. She's very sweet and the other hair stylist that was next to her station is funny as hell. Love my hair :) read more

I'm so very pleased to have Raquel do My hair. I have to travel further than I normally would but She is well worth it. Raquel is an Artist with coloring roots and highlights. She is equally talented at cutting hair. I have to admit, I want to keep Raquel a secret,knowing how in demand She is becoming. Her quality service deserves praise. I have looked for over 10 years to find such a wonderful Hair Stylist. Her salon is a new,modern private setting. Raquel has it all; Great skill, Comfortable salon and Dynamic attitude. read more

Be careful ,if you are a groupon customer! As soon as I mentioned groupon deal the appointment waitlist exceeded to 15 days.On 15th day,just because I was 10min late, she asked me to reschedule the appointment for next available slot(which would again be another 15days..pheww!).Her behaviour was extremely rude and not at all accommodating.I would not recommend this salon,before turning up she denied to give the full services mentioned in the deal which I purchased. read more

Raquel is lovely and the first stylist in the South Bay I've found who can properly cut curly mixed-race hair. Loving my curly bob. Gotta get in for a trim soon! read more

I've been in search of a good hair salon and I think I've found it! I wanted a trim but not too short since I like having my long hair. Raquel did great! First she asked what I wanted and I showed her some pictures on my phone. Then I got my hair washed. After that the cutting began. She trimmed it exactly how I wanted and also thinned out my ends since I have very thick heavy hair. Lastly she touched up my bangs and blow dried my hair. Now my hair feels lighter and has more flow to it. I'm pretty pleased and she's very nice and great to talk to while getting my hair cut. Thank you! read more

I found Raquel on Groupon. That prompted me to search her on Yelp and FB. Upon doing so I found reviews about Dry Cuts for curly hair and balyage. Those are both things I was looking for specifically. I never purchased the Groupon because it was for cut and one color only but I made an appt with Raquel. Showed her pics of what I wanted and told her what I liked and disliked about my hair. I was OK with my base but wanted face shaping balayage. My regular stylist has been doing my hair for 10 plus years and I have asked her for lighter brown on my base several times and it never comes out that way. I just accepted it and moved on. When I got to Raquel I did not tell her that. I wasn't even thinking about my base but she proactively noticed that my base was too dark and took the initiative to lighten it to match my skin tone. Those were her words. Raquel started working on my hair and took her time. I loved the outcome but something wasn't right for Raquel. She noticed some uneven color pieces in the back. She pointed them out and asked me to come back in a few weeks so she can correct it no charge. I told her that I couldn't see the back and she said "I can and I want to fix it!" I really appreciate that. It shows that she takes pride in her work. Even though I was happy and couldn't see the back. She wasn't happy with it and wanted to fix it. read more

I had my hair cut and styled by Raquel today and am extremely happy with the result. Raquel really took her time to make sure the cut was perfect. I love it! I found my new bay area stylist! read more

I found Raquel through a Groupon deal. I usually don't trust beauty services that need groupon promotion but Raquel was awesome. It was easy to book an appointment with her via style seat. She was warm and friendly and listened to all my requests. She gave me partial highlights but honestly they were way more than partial they look awesome. Then she skillfully gave me a new choppy bob that she made very sure was not too short for my round face. If you have a round face you know that is important! At the end there were no surprise extra charges and I left a VERY happy customer. Thanks Raquel! read more

I think this might be my first review. I just had to write one for Raquel because she really did a great job. I found her through a Groupon for haircut, partial highlight, and blow dry. My hair was cut some months ago so she just cleaned it up. And for the partial highlights she did a partial balayage highlight which I appreciated so much because I was nervous I would end up with streaky highlights at my root. Not the case at all. She knows what she's doing obviously. Absolutely love the color! It blended so nicely with some color I already had. She is super easy to talk to and the experience was just all around relaxing. read more

Second time with Raquel! She's great. Takes her time and listens to what you want! Doesn't push her own agenda on you.

Raquel has been cutting my hair for years and does a really good job. I often bring her a picture of what I want my hair to look like and she's able to replicate it. As I've gotten older I am also having to cover my gray and she does a great job blending all the brown colors to make it look bright and pretty. read more

Raquel is super-talented. I brought in some pictures of how I wanted my hair cut and styled. Since I have wavy curly hair, but sometimes wear it straight, she dry cut my hair so it wouldn't be too short. She styled it perfectly, with a blower and flat iron, then finished the cut. My hair looks great, whether I wear it straight or curly. And Raquel is so down to earth, unpretentious, and honest. I'll be back. She gave me a terrific hair cut. read more

I've had two really great experiences with Raquel. She cut my curly hair doing a dry cut and I really liked the shape. I made a mistake having someone cut it 6 months later but Raquel saved me and fixed it. I will stick with her from here on out, plus her blow outs rock. read more

Just had a haircut with Raquel Rose yesterday. I was a new client. Raquel came out to greet me, rocking this cute, pixie cut with a big smile. I liked her immediately. She took care to listen to me, asking questions to make sure we were aligned. Then, she worked hard to turn my wishes into hair reality. Best haircut in a long time. Exactly what I wanted. I left looking like a movie star (ok... as close to a movie star as an average girl with great hair can get...) Raquel is nice, down to earth, friendly, and easy to talk to. She may look young, but the way her fingers moved with the comb and scissors showed experience and expertise. She did not push products or services on me. She was on time. Really liked her. Definitely recommend! read more

I had a great experience she cut my hair in nice layers and did not do much of curling and straightening which was good. It gave more natural look than just 1 day look. read more

I found Raquel on groupon since I was in desperate need for a hair fix. My hair was butchered from the previous salon I visited and Raquel spent time assessing the situation and asking exactly what I wanted and spent time figuring out our game plan (my layers were very uneven and patchy). Unlike most salons, she did a very great job of keeping my length and only trimming off the unnecessary dead ends. I also liked the fact that she was very considerate towards myself, who is not much of a talker and I was comfortable with my service. When she turned me around to see my finished cut I was gushing, it was great. There was no awkward layers, or uneven cuts even after showering and air drying. It's been over a year since I've trusted someone with my hair and for a $19 groupon deal I was amazed. The minute I got back to work I got a few compliments from my co worker and relayed her information. I would definitely recommend Raquel to anyone, and I will definitely be coming back. read more

I went to Raquel today with a Groupon for a "haircut, partial highlights and blow dry". She did and AMAZING job. Unlike other stylists she sticks to what you ask her. I was super nervous about the highlights because I've never had them done, but she read my mind and made me look great. Also, great value for your money. Definitely recommend her if you're looking for a new stylist. read more
