Natalie is the BOMB! What more else can I say? I've known Natalie for quite some time and she knows her stuff. I've sent some of my family and clients over to her and they've all told me that they were so pleased with her salon services. When you have a stylist that listens to her clients and makes appropriate recommendations - she is a gem and a half. What more could you ask for? Natalie is one of the best! read more

I went there on a recommendation of a few friends and I'm totally happy. Natalie was amazing. I wanted something cool and colourful and she was very good with recommendations on what would be good. She helped me figured out the details, mixed a cool blue-green colour and gave lots of good advice on how to keep it clean. I get buckets of compliments. Love, love, love. read more

Stylist - Natalie is just amazing. She's been doing my hair for years! I feel comfortable communicating what I want without any disconnect. She gives me great suggestions that work best with my style. Making an appointment - very simple and easy, Robert helped me find an appointment that worked with my busy schedule Salon - clean, organized, R+Co products to choose from, and I love the soft industrial decor! Location - easy to find parking and it's close to one of my favorite ramen restaurants:) My experience - In my last visit, I wanted to go lighter on my ombre but was worried how it would look against my skin tone. She brightened it just enough and added natural highlights to frame my face...I fell in love with my hair all over again! I completely trust Natalie with my hair. She's always on top of new trends and knows classic styles. I always feel good and confident after every appointment. read more

I have been seeing Natalie for about a year now .i followed her from faux salon in Campbell . I have known her since she was an assistant at faux and I was in high school and that was like 19 years ago ! Long story short she does fantastic hair and is always fun to chat with ! I will gladly drive from Campbell to mountain view to see her ! Recently went back to having short hair (pixie cut) and have had so many compliments on it ! Natalie knows how to cut short edgy hair cuts ! read more

5 stars for cut and style. 4 stars service. 3 stars price. Emailed to setup appointment as they are only open while I'm at work. Was able to easily get a Tuesday afternoon appointment (had off that day) with a week advance notice. Parked about 2 blocks down for free, parking was a little tight with lunch time crowd but not terrible. My appointment was with Natalie and she was extremely nice and accommodating. I have sensitive skin so she used minimal r+co styling products after the haircut. The cut was one of the best I've ever had, which is hard as a girl with short pixie cut. She styled it just like the picture, which I've never been able to replicate (I need to purchase the correct styling products). I deducted a star based on being slightly uncomfortable during the cut because I was faced away from the mirror and she didn't take much time to explain how she was cutting and styling my hair. Waiting until it was complete to turn me around. Granted it was awesome, but I like seeing what the stylist is done and for them to explain the process at least before starting to cut. Also, the price is pretty high. Prices are usually higher for women's hair, but as a woman with short hair I usually get priced for a men's cut or just slightly above. Not here though and it was a complete blow to the wallet. Main reason I probably won't come back unless I'm in need for a really good cut and can't find it elsewhere for cheaper. I do wish the hours were later and/or they opened on Mondays. I work in public service so literally can't make an appointment because of my work schedule unless I take a day off. read more

This review is for Siobhan. I have a very hard time finding the right hair stylist for me. I may be extremely picky, or just have incredibly bad luck. However, I have seen Siobhan a few times now, and can honestly say I have always been happy with my hair after seeing her. She gives great suggestions, works with your hair instead of against it, and most importantly, listens. I have always felt welcomed in this salon, and that too, is important (some places are very stuffy, some places they won't talk to you while doing your hair, this is the perfect balance). read more

Thank goodness I went to see Natalie! My hair was way overdue for a cut. She gave me some great long layers and face framing bangs that will let me grow out my hair for the summer nicely. I just love the way she cuts hair - precise and with such care! I really loved the tips she gave me on how to style my hair to give my layers some texture without spending a ton of time styling everyday. I used to go to the W at Santana Row but much prefer O+R. The salon is super cute and intimate with fun, retro decor. With it being in downtown Castro, it's easy to combine lunch and an appt, with plenty of parking in the area. I'll definitely be coming back - I've found my stylist! read more

I started going to Natalie when she worked at Faux Salon in Campbell when I was a wee youngling of 13 and I'll be 25 next month. I had bounced around from stylist to stylist, just taking whoever was available until I met Natalie. It felt like she was the first person to understand my unruly hair & then she proceeded to tame it like the hair goddess she is. What you need to know is that Natalie will always take the time to talk to you and find out what your ideal cut and color is and then knock it out of the park. Her cuts will ALWAYS grow out beautifully. She WON'T mess up your hair, ever. I've gone from black to blonde, I've added mermaid red extensions to my lower back and shaved off most of my hair. Natalie has dyed my hair every color under the sun and then some. There is a reason she is the only person I've trusted with my hair in almost 12 years!!! And there is a reason I didn't hesitate to follow her to Mountain View or drive up to the Bay for hair appointments when I lived in LA. TLDR: From meek trims to major changes, Nat is your girl. Make an appointment. read more

Natalie is the BEST!!!! She is a true professional and so accommodating! My daughter has been getting her hair cut from Natalie since she was 13 and now she is 24 years old. Natalie has done outstanding cuts and colors for her over the years. I started getting my hair cut and colored with Natalie and followed her to her own salon. Yesterday, she gave my husband a hair cut as well! Now almost the whole family is going to see Natalie! She truly is an artist! Yes the parking can be an issue, but if you drive down two blocks on Villas towards Los Altos, there is a huge free parking! Was mostly empty. read more

Have you ever found yourself rushing in need of a quick hairstyle? Or have you realized at the last minute that you will need more styling product then you have? I am plagued by this every 2 months when a hair cut is due. I've unsuccessfully tried to see Natalie over 6-mos, but she was always fully booked. On my such last attempt Natalie went out of her way to notify me of any pending cancellations. I really appreciated her extra touch. Her coloring technique and styling was outstanding. She's a true believer of a natural, blended look and her work reflected that. In the end, I was very pleased with my men's hair and color appointment and I'd strongly recommend to everyone to try her out before exerimenting (wasting money) on other Mountain View salons. read more

Natalie is AMAZING-full stop! I have never had a better haircut. Not only was my short hair style done well-but in such an artistic manner that allowed a full frame of my face without taking me too much time to style. The highlights she gave me are also beautiful and natural looking. She is modest (but a stylish hair BOSS), super kind, relaxed and meticulous. Can you tell I'm excited about my hair appointment tonight?? :) read more

Phenomenal cut & color skills. I went there to get my hair dyed lavender and I'm extremely happy with the results. Even the in-between platinum phase was so well-done that it was tempting to just stick with that. But I was a man on a mission, so I followed through. Couldn't be happier! read more

After trying two other salons in Mountain View, I've found my ideal stylist and salon with Natalie at Orbit & Rust. It was easy to make (and change) an appointment even though my timeframe was limited. Natalie was super welcoming right from the start, listened attentively as I told her what I wanted, and gave me a great cut that I loved instantly. Sometimes I've walked out of other salons fretting about some aspect of a new 'do, or washed it to find that it doesn't behave the way I wanted it to without professional styling. Absolutely not the case here. I felt great walking out of the salon, and now having washed and "styled" it myself (by which I mean a spritz of sea salt spray, a scrunch, and air-drying--all of which I described to Natalie and asked her to make it work), it's exactly what I had in mind. On top of the skilled work, Natalie is sweet, funny, and genuine, very easy to chat with as she works her magic. I'll be back! read more

Natalie is fantastic! I've gone to her for years at another salon, and I'm so happy she has her own place now. She does fantastic color and cuts - the whole package. I am ALWAYS complimented on my hair, several times a week completely at random. I have at least 4 friends that see Natalie now regularly too. She rocks! read more

I followed Natalie from Faux and so glad I did. I've got short, pixie short, hair and it's so hard to get a great, funky cut. Natalie has such great style, she is open to your desires and concerns, and tolerates the 50 pinterest images I make her look at. (Ya know, pics of Jennifer Lawrence and Robin Wright). This last cut was so spot on what I wanted, I had to text her just to say "great job!". Definitely give her a try! read more

What a great experience. I had been going the cheap route on haircuts for a while, and decided it was time for a new style. My last cut was several months ago, so it was definitely needed. I told Natalie to do whatever she wanted, and the results were great. High marks from everyone at home, which is high praise from the daughters. Great space, with a great feel. She really took her time and never made me feel rushed. Highly recommend a visit for anyone. read more

I'm always really happy with my hair after I see Siobhan. She does amazing pixie cuts that are really feminine and flattering, and that I can style in a variety of ways. If you're considering a cut or color that's a little bit outside of your comfort zone, I highly recommend making an appointment, she will make sure to understand exactly what you're hoping for and adjust it so it works on you. I've never had my hair cut by Natalie, but from what I've seen she's very talented as well. Also, their prices are incredibly reasonable for the consistent quality and the attention to detail...let's just say, I've paid a lot more for a lot worse of a haircut in the past. read more

Funnest hair do ever! Coolest place ever!!! This place is so fun. I am so busy and I can never find a place open except when everything is full on a Saturday. They got me in after hours and that meant everything to me. I also bought some shampoo and conditioner which is fantastic. I am so glad I walked in that day. read more

Super classy and chic salon right next to Castro St. Plenty of parking in a nearby garage about a block away. Natalie N did my highlights exactly the way I requested. She was very patient as my hair is extremely long and I know I can be a hair stylist's worst nightmare. I highly recommend them! read more

I like this salon. Natalie is a charmer. Super sweet and talented. She's very accommodating and even under pressure she's very graceful. She cuts my ten year old's hair. She consults with him just like she'd do with any adult. He loves it. This is a top notch salon and her service and prices reflect that. But I'm very happy with the quality, the products and the service here. Can't recommend Natalie enough! read more

I've been seeing Natalie for over a decade and I keep coming back for a reason - she's the best! From natural straight long hair to my current short red A-line bob and everything in between, she's always given me what I asked for. Her coloring skills are superior and I'm always getting compliments on my new do. I love love her cute studio - makes me wish I worked in as fun an environment every time I go there. Robert is always super-friendly too. Great vibes, great cuts and color, and great people! read more

Orbit & Rust is a brand-new styling salon in Mountain View just off Castro Avenue. All three of the stylists (Natalie, Sibohan, and Robert) have years of experience, and came together for this new venture. Natalie is the owner/stylist. She has done an amazing job with this intimate space making it both cozy, and modern. As soon as I came in, I was offered coffee, tea or espresso. When I said "coffee" I was given a cup of really wonderful coffee that they had french pressed just for me! Honestly, little touches like this mean so much. My stylist is Sibohan who has been my stylist for 10 years. While it is further for me to come, she is absolutely worth it! She is an expert in coloring, as well as styling. If you are looking for a new stylist, and receiving truly personal attention is a sweet space, try Orbit & Rust. read more

Natalie is simply the best!!! I took a chance on her when she first started 15+ years ago. I'm happy to say I've never regreted it. I've moved away to the city and beyond...always making it a point to get an appt with her. What a treat to come back and have her work her magic. read more

I'm so glad Natalie moved to my neighborhood to cut hair! Even if I didn't live close I'd travel for miles to have my hair styled by Natalie. Orbit and Rust has been a great addition to downtown Mountain View! read more

I met Siobhan of O&R many years ago when she was at Faux Salon. Several people in my family (including me) have been her clients and love her creativity, warmth, and her talent in making us all look great! :-) I received so many compliments on my wedding day; Siobhan styled my hair along my mother's and sister's and we could not have been happier. Sadly, the location in Mtn. View is not feasible as several members of our family have moved away from the Bay Area. I highly recommend the gals at Orbit & Rust! read more

Went here to try it for the first time because it looked cool, and had good Yelp reviews. I had shoulder length hair going in. I told her to just freshen it up. I guess I could have been more specific, but I left with an asymmetrical haircut, with right side practically buzz cut short. Thankfully hair grows, but this was the worst haircut I've had in 31 years. It has grown into a bad mullet that I need to get fixed. read more

I've been seeing Natalie for over five years and when they told me she opened up her own salon of course I had to follow her! Her salon has such colorful personality and feels welcoming as soon as you walk in. If you're looking to change your style, or freshen up your current look you should go and see Natalie because she will work wonders on your hair! read more

I had an excellent experience getting my hair cut and highlighted. I really felt like Siobhan listened to what I wanted and completed it beautifully. I will be coming back next time for sure. read more

I got the worst haircut ever from someone in Sunnyvale. No exaggeration -- I gave myself a much better one when I was 4. After reading the Yelp review for Natalie, I took my mutton chopped hair to her for repair. It took her 2 repair cuts but I now have the best haircut I've ever had!!! Thank you, Natalie. read more

I followed Natalie from Faux Hair Salon in Campbell because she is that good. She is one of the few hairdressers whose haircuts look great the day of...and then my haircut keeps getting better and better during the following months. A true artist, and a sincerely kind, warm, and genuine person. When I sit in the chair, we have a discussion about what I do with my hair each day (mostly a ponytail, I run my design business from home and I'm an urban farmer but need the flexibility of a hairstyle that will look professional when I meet with clients). As a mother, she understands how little time I have but that I want to feel beautiful too. Usually I say, "Whatever you think is best, Natalie." I think her skill is interpreting what my needs are, what the latest trends are, and the reality of how I style my hair into a great cut. And it always turns out fabulous. read more
