Specialty cut and color can take about three to four hours for the coloring part to get the right color and based I. What was explained to me, I was pretty confident that they were really going to do an amazing job with my help. When I got back, I was late for the appointment but they didn't sweat me, since they just got done with the previous customer and needed to set up the station. When my stylist was ready, she was very sweet and really took care of me to make sure I get the cut and style I requested. The vibe of the salon was very personable and easy going. I really enjoyed the time care she put in to working. When she completed my hair, it looked exactly as I wanted.

I had the pleasure of visiting this amazing hairdresser recently, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only did she do a fantastic job with my kids hair, but her skills and expertise truly shone through. What impressed me the most was her incredible patience and warmth towards my kids, especially considering it was their first haircut. She made them feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process, which is no small feat! Additionally, she went out of her way to accommodate us last-minute, and her sweet and friendly demeanor added an extra touch of joy to the visit. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a skilled and caring hairdresser. A wonderful experience all around! read more

No one would ever accuse me of being metrosexual. I admit it; I lack flair and my sense of style…read moreis limited. In fact I've had the same hair style since 1982 which is when I remember discovering there was an opposite sex and actually started (occasionally) combing my hair in the morning. Meeting Meshelle for the first time I was impressed with how much she seemed to care about hair in general and being a bit intrigued I went to see her expecting to never go back. I've never been loyal to any hair cutter except the old Armenian guy I used to know who would cut my hair for four bucks (and not well I might add.) A single visit and I was sold. The attention to detail is incredible. Not only have I become a regular customer but I even took her reccomendation to buy some hair products which actually worked as advertised. (People who know me probably just fainted from the shock of reading this...) So my dear wife was fascinated that I am buying hair products from this mysterious Meshelle and talking about my hair ... and carefully grooming it in the morning ... Since moving to Walnut Creek last year she had been unable to find someone she was happy with and so off she went to see Meshelle..... I say this sincerely - the English language does not have words to express how happy Erin was with Meshelle's work. I'm reminded of a movie line ... "Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?" Well Erin's happiness with Meshelle is an 11. If you're reading this Meshelle thanks for doing what you do.

Since my last review I have had…read morenumerous other services with including cuts, colors - both high lights and low lights mixed together and separate. I love the finished product every time, my hair looks great and I've had many compliments on how the color and cut look on me. She has also performed two Keratin treatments on my over the past year and a half and I absolutely love them. It's takes a long time because it's a time consuming process but she's progressional and makes sure do to everything to ensure it turns outs perfect. She has lots of experience working with numerous clients with different wants and needs and always ensures they are happy and satisfied with their hair. Her new location is perfect too. She's at Coloz Hair Gallery, a couple blocks from downtown Walnut Creek right off of Mt. Diablo. The salon also has a gallery of art, jewelry and make-up and is set up beautifully. I highly recommend Meshelle if you are looking for a hair stylist, she's been amazing over the past 5 years and I will continue to see her. Thanks Meshelle!
