Alisa works absolute hair magic Started with her on a haircut initially and have been going to her consistently for almost 2 years now for color too. We usually stick to highlights for the icy blonde looks, but she is so patient, kind, and truly prioritizes her clients hair health over all else. My hair has never been as long & healthy as it is now and Alisa is the reason why. If you're looking for an amazing stylist w a heart of gold and the color palettes to match, definitely come check her out!

i spent a lot of time looking for a salon since i just moved to san francisco pretty recently, but i can confidently say that platinum studio was the right choice! their booking process is simple and easy on their website. i got a shampoo, haircut, and style from alisa and it was such a lovely experience. when i arrived, she was welcoming and hospitable. i showed her examples of what i wanted for my hair and she honestly nailed it. the way she styled it looked exactly like the photos i showed her and she gave me perfect advice on how to manage the style with my natural, curly hair. she made great conversation and i had such a great experience here. definitely recommend and definitely coming back!! (im not a super great photographer but included here are some pictures of the cut after alisa had styled it) :)

Alisa is one of the few people I trust with my hair in the city. She's very consistent, thorough and always puts the integrity of your hair first! Whether you just need a simple clean up or are ready to make a huge change, she should be your first choice!!! She is simple the best

Alisa has been my color specialist for the last 4 years & I couldn't imagine any other person touching my hair! I've done fashion colors, gone full platinum & have had her do my haircuts. She is super knowledgeable and my hair has been the healthiest it's been since I've been with her. My hair regime has evolved since using the schwarzkopf hyaluronic line she sells and my hair is softer than ever. I always leave her studio confident & excited to show off my new hair

I've known Alisa professionally now for almost 4 years and I've never left disappointed. She's at the top of her game but is open to learning new things which I appreciate. No matter how small or big the hair needs she's goes beyond plus she gives a good shampoo massage. I always get so many compliments after a visit. Thanks A!

She makes you feel pretty when you leave her

Alisa is the owner & magician behind the gorgeous hair that leaves her salon!! She's so amazingly sweet. She fixed my hair that was butchered by super cuts. Let me tell you, I learned my lesson. I've been going to Alisa ever since. Probably going on 2 years now!! She never disappoints. Super reasonably priced as well. Love to support a small biz.

Hot roots

I went in to see Alisa after seeing her work on Yelp. I explained to her what I wanted but unfortunately, I was left with something worse than what I came in with. She showed me my hair in the salon and initially, I thought it looked great. But after seeing my hair at home and in natural lighting I notice a very dark orange band all over my hair. After having my sister examine my hair, she informed me of how uneven it was and how it looked like I had done it myself. So after discovering this, I texted Alisa and informed her how I was not happy about the band and unevenness and she offered to do a toning BUT after consulting with another hairdresser from one of the top salons in Santa Clara County, I had quickly learned that toning would not be able to fix the orange band. Instead, it would have been a temporary fix and would have made it darker instead of it being light and ashy as I originally wanted. While the hairdresser was consulting me and looking through my hair we had discovered more than what I had originally mentioned above. We found that my roots were super brassy and there were bleed marks (marks on the hair from bleach that came out of the foil), as well as uneven tones across the head. There were light then dark spots all over my hair. Although she did offer to tone it, I quickly came to the realization that a color correction was what was needed to fix all the problems found in my hair. This was not a global bleaching but instead was partial and I paid $450 for it which included a haircut that was was uneven. Initially, I did not want to make a big deal out of this and only requested a partial refund but she didn't even give me a partial refund she only gave me 20% back. A partial refund means half, as she should know because she did a partial babylight balayage on me. Partial is half the head which she has priced at $250 but I was charged $450 including the haircut which she said price varied so was it $200 for a trim? After finding out all the mistakes I am incredibly upset with how my hair turned out and responded to her offer of the toning and told her that I would rather prefer to get a full refund after finding out how many problems my hair has after seeing her. I had sent her evidence of the bleed marks and the various bands over my hair and she decided not to respond back to my text. In addition to ignoring my message, she continued to post my hair after I had messaged her. I'm overall very disappointed and upset with what I paid for and feel like I truly deserve a FULL refund for the service. Not only did going to Alisa leave me with brassy and uneven hair, but it has also lead me to get it colored corrected costing me $600 to fix. Alisa was kind throughout the whole service but I could not recommend her for subtle or ashy coloring services as it seems she is more skilled with fashion colors. Overall I am extremely disappointed and incredibly upset about the hair service I received.

Hector totally got it and did an amazing job. The thing that impressed me most is I wanted highlights without bleaching my hair, and he made it happen. Every other place said I had to bleach it. The salon is super clean, bright, and has a great vibe. Everyone there is really kind and helpful. Yeah, I had to wait for an appointment and send pics beforehand, but it was 100% worth it. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great stylist!

I was asked to send photos of my hair and then told that Hector is booked out for months. It would have been better to be upfront about that from the start instead of feeling like I was being screened as a new client. A friend of mine has seen Hector for years and recommended him, which is why I wanted to try. I initially hoped to see another stylist at the salon, but soon learned that that team member is no longer there. If the salon updates its information and availability, it would help set expectations for future clients.

Compared to the other studios I've been to, they are the most consistent, honest, and detailed. I have never walked out of this studio unhappy with how my hair looked, even if it deviated a bit from what I originally wanted. In the most recent time I went, I was absolutely blown away with how my hair turned out! So much that I think I will continue asking for this color for years to come, maybe until my hair can't handle it anymore lol I've been going to Romi for a few years for color and haircuts and I deeply appreciate how much attention to detail she has. In my case, she had noted down the colors that I've had before and uses that as a point of reference for my session. This is so helpful, especially since I don't remember what I asked for months prior. Since I liked my most recent color so much, I can walk into the studio with full confidence that I can ask for the exact same thing again because she has it noted down somewhere. Thank you Romi!!

Thank you so much, Yumiko san for your wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back.

From there, we did an 10 hour transformation going blonde and honestly, that appointment bonded us for life. I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!
