    I went to her once earlier this year for a trim, but wanted something completely different this time - I had vague ideas about layers to take off all the weight, and a bleach and dye with some fun color. Paola took my nebulous input and made my hair look fun and amazing! Will definitely go back again, I love how she got a great play of colors going on the top layer! She rents a booth at Classic Beauty and so is available weekends only - Sundays are best, the rest of the studio is empty so you don't feel busy and rushed.

    I got my hairs cut by @ha.paola yesterday! She gave my colorful hair new life and magic!!! She's a true hair artist with cuts and color!!! I watched her dye my hair many times and got brave enough to do it on my own! I've been getting my hair cut and colored with Paula for over five years!!! And I'm so grateful to know this wonderfully lovely creative human!!! Paula is incredibly talented! You can tell that cutting and dying hair is her art! Her cuts always grow out so excellently and if I hadn't caught "the hair as art" bug as well I would have her color my hair all the time! And I always trust her to just do her magic! She is amazing and a true gem!

    Paola does flawless work equal to the best of Hollywood stylists I've had over the years. She is a true pro because, like the real Hollywood stylists to the stars, she is humble, listened to what I needed, and truly loves her art, always a hallmark of the best. I would gladly pay double.

    I'm still a very local customer of Paola.. and now my son is also a regular customer too! He explains Paola how he would like his haircut done and it looks great every time

    Ever since I was introduced to Paola's Beauty Studio by Nudgit I have never gone back to my old hair dresser. Paola is AMAZING and she definitely made my hair beautiful with her skill and knowledge about Asian hair and the long process it takes to remove black hair color (from a previous hair dresser) while preventing major damage. She really walked me through the process and I always leave her Studio loving my hair. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a friendly, professional and hair magic maker. Thanks so much Paola!

    Yay!!!! I got my mane back!!!!!!

    While working on my hair she was super sweet and helpful, answering all my noob-ish questions relating to proper hair care and styling.

    I was looking for a new hair stylist and discovered this place on Yelp. I had just gotten back from…read moregetting my hair done in Korea, and I wanted to find a place that could also do a similar style. I made an appointment with JC, and he was really kind and knowledgeable about Asian hairstyles! I would highly recommend his services.

    Before the haircut, I clearly explained that I had just gotten my hair cut at another salon two…read moredays earlier and that I wasn't looking for a completely new haircut--I only wanted some adjustments to achieve the style shown in the photos of me before. I specifically asked if the stylist understood the issue and knew what needed to be done, and I was assured that they did. Unfortunately, once the haircut started, there was no communication about how much hair would be removed. The very first cut on the sides was much shorter than I expected, and at that point there was no way to undo it. If the stylist had explained their approach or confirmed the length with me first, I would have had the opportunity to say that it wasn't what I wanted. What disappointed me most wasn't just the final result--it was the lack of communication. When a customer brings reference photos and asks questions beforehand, I expect the stylist to explain the plan and make sure we're aligned before making irreversible changes. I left feeling that my concerns and the reference photos were not really taken into account. I hope the salon can improve communication with customers in the future so others don't have the same experience.

    I've gotten haircuts at Debe Salon before that were good so I decided to get a balayage here based…read moreon reviews that the pricing was reasonable. Let me tell you that this place was the MOST I've ever paid for hair coloring and balayage in my life and I've gone to Master hair colorists at luxury salons in the bay area too. Did the prices for hair products increase with Trump too??!? Sheesh. They were nice, talked me through the right shade for the balayage according to my skin tone and then she proceeded to take out a calculator to show me the cost. I was pretty shocked to see the cost, but I already made arrangements to get my hair colored that day so I begrudgingly agreed to proceed. Maybe I should have negotiated or asked if that total included tip? My hair is medium length and layered and the ash blonde/brown came out really nice, but I am still kicking myself for paying this much. I would have expected a nice head massage, complimentary tea or something for paying this much with a balayage, but it was a professional balayage with basic service/experience.

He is a master at cutting layers and long face framing bangs! Everybody gave me so many compliments and I am just so in love with my hair every time he cuts it. He is precise and thorough and pays attention to detail to make sure each cut is perfect and balanced. He truly is a master at his craft. He gave me the most perfect cut - bouncy layers, full of volume, face framing bangs! Also the grow out process was so nice, it still looked good like a few months later and kept looking better because of how he cut it. He takes his time to make sure everything is perfect and it was! Thank you Feng! Scheduling my next appt with him now!

From the moment I arrived, she made me feel so comfortable, cared for, and truly listened to. Postpartum has changed my hair texture so much, and I was feeling overwhelmed trying to figure out what worked for my hair anymore. Malu not only gave me the most beautiful balayage and much needed cut, but she also took the time to educate me on products and care that would actually help my hair through all these changes. She listened carefully to exactly what I wanted and somehow made it even better than I imagined. I walked out feeling refreshed, confident, and more like myself again, which is something every new mom deserves to feel. Malu is incredibly talented, kind, and passionate about what she does. I'm so grateful for the experience and already can't wait to go back
