Not sure what happened to my review but here goes another try. Courtney is amazing! She's been doing my hair for quite a few years now and I'm always impressed. I followed her to Rake from another salon, because I am very picky about my red coloring and long length. I often switch between full coloring and highlights to make it look natural, while also not damaging my hair. She is so flexible and accommodating, especially with my nutty schedule. She's a real gem :) read more

I moved to the area 10 months ago from Burlingame, where I had been getting hand tied extensions from the same stylist for 2.5 years... needless to say I was nervous to find someone new (& needed to quickly, since you can't go too long between appointments with extensions!). I tried one other salon, decided to keep shopping around and then found Rake on Yelp. I called and very easily made an appointment with Liv. The salon is SO CUTE. The decor is adorable and the location is perfect - lots of parking (!!), food, bars & boutiques nearby. Right when I sat down with Liv I knew I didn't need to shop around anymore. She was so sweet, loves extensions as much as I do and leaves you feeling like a million bucks! Our appointments always fly by because our conversation is genuine and fun. Every interaction I've had with anyone else at the salon -- from receptionist to owner -- has been lovely. They all say hello, jump into conversation when it's natural to and seem to be loved by each of their clients. Also, everyone's hair always looks great when they're walking out (most importantly)! I'm so grateful to have found Rake and Liv I don't plan on leaving, so they're stuck with me!! read more

Kaylin's beaded weft extension service on March 18th resulted in a poorly executed cut, hair breakage, and unusable $440 wefts. When the weft came undone shortly after, Kaylin defensively blamed me, despite confirmation from the extension company that her application method was incorrect. In spite of my request for reimbursement, Kaylin refused and couldn't provide a receipt for the hair purchase. Although the salon owner was sympathetic, they couldn't assist as Kaylin rents her station. While I was reimbursed for the installation, the cost of the damaged extensions remains unresolved. read more

Great vibe, great people, great care! This place has a fun and creative atmosphere. The stylists are top notch professionals. They are highly skilled and devoted to perfect results. I enjoy the specialty products they use and the lovely results for healthy, fashionable and pretty hair. I would absolutely recommend Rake Salon! read more

This salon is simply amazing! I used to go to The Beauty Lounge and my hair girl cancelled on me last minute for the 3rd time the day before my vacation, I was heart broken! I called Rake and told the receptionist I was desperate to get my hair done before my vacation the next day and she told me she would take my number and ask all of her stylists if they could fit me in. Not even 30 mins later I got a call back saying Kristi could fit me in. Oh my goodness, Kristi was a delight! She had me in & out with a full head of highlights and hair cut in 2 hours. My hair looks amazing and way better than it did before, and she was SO nice and welcoming. She asked what I wanted, was super sweet the whole appointment, and worked hard to make me happy. I am so happy I found her & this salon. Give this salon a shot if you want great results! read more

Alivia is the BEST!! She leaves me speechless when she's done. She has done the best color and highlights I've ever had and I've dyed it a lot. She is the sweetest girl and I always love coming in to chat with her and her mom. The salon is always clean and decorated so cute. I heard they just got new wash bowls...can't wait to try them out when I'm back in town!! These pics were about a month apart, (I wish I had that dark long hair for longer but I loved the highlights and cut) October - November 2020!! read more

So happy i found this salon upon moving to Brentwood. Family owned and so pleasant. Nothing but good vibes . On top of that, they do great hair!!! Liv did my hair. She just has a talent in color . Happy to have found a great salon after all these years read more

I LOVE this place! I've seen Jordan a while now and absolutely ADORE her! She is incredibly fun to talk to and she takes her time to make sure your hair looks perfect. I get blonde highlights and I love how I look every time I go see her. She's truly magical and I've already sent a few people to her and the salon. The ONLY downside is they are kind of difficult to get ahold of so you need patience but they are working on it. I promise, however, it's worth the wait. I have been to so many different cities for hair and she is by far one of my favorites! They also offer beverages while you're there and the salon is comfortable and beautiful. It's definitely one of those places I will totally travel to go to (and my sister literally drives 7 hours just for that), when we move again. read more

Kaylin is thee best! I hardly ever know what I wanna do with my hair but she so patient. When she's done I feel beautiful every time! Thank you Kaylin! read more

Shannon highlighted my hair, the texture to my hair changed.. I waited two weeks for a consult on how to care for my hair.. She told me my hair always looked like that. WHAT?. I had colored my hair auburn once 3 years prior. It was tremendously faded.. My original color had been grown out to my ears. I'm very easygoing with my hair. And have cut it myself for years.. I'm pretty simple.. And have never needed to use hair products, nor do I like them. Especially hairspray and finishing styling stuff. She did an amazing job coloring my hair.. My hair was very healthy and has natural c curls .. my hair frizzed out like velcro because it was so dry... we spent forty-five minutes of telling me my goals were unrealistic and played dumb to the texture.. All I wanted was my hair too calm down and lay flat, like it used to without using heat..I'm used to putting my hair in a bun, and when it dries, it's perfect. She also said that would never be again since I processed my hair. she remembered my hair being black and that we had really processed it to lift it, and it looked really good for going through. I have never had my hair black.. So she also has me confused with somebody else.. I really didn't need to be in her chair for that long to not be acknowledged... She had put oil on my hair as we were talking.. And said my hair felt fine.. But if I needed moisture in my hair leave my regular conditioner in for the day. Or use a leave conditioner or oil.. That was nice.. I got home and took my hair out of a bun. And it looked so good The oil she used made a difference.. I texted her thank her later that day for her time and sent her a photo for her to see my hair was capable of going back to how it was .. A few days later, she told me she canceled my october appointment because we were not a good fit.. In the meantime I have conditioned my hair multiple ways.. Leaving conditioner k pack over night.. Moroccan oil.. And my hair is beautiful.. It's frustrating she wasn't forthcoming on how to care for my hair. Didnt acknowledge the texture issue until the end of our appointment.. I was the nicest i could be especially with a difficult conversation that had false statements. I would only acknowledge things on subject which was the texture of my hair.. And she continuously said she didn't understand. One of the responsibilities of being a hairstylist is helping you care for your hair not just cut it.. I definitely agree.We are not a good fit.. If someone who does hair cannot have this kind of conversation ( and their one of the owners).. I have to leave a one star.. I also felt this could have been resolved a lot sooner than waiting two weeks for an appointment.. In addition, she cut my hair and layered the bottom a bit.. My hair was down to my elbows very long.. My c curls loved the layering, and my ends flipped, outward away from my back.. I needed to have an undercut in order for my hair to have curled towards my back.. She doesn't know how to cut curly hair.. solution I just cut the ends off i have enough to spare, and I was fine.. And it was really no big deal.but it really bothered her.. She kept saying, "Oh, look at your hair.. I wouldn't acknowledge that either. I just stayed on subject. Nor would I let my hair be cut.. I want to wait until my hair, calm down.. Be careful if you're unhappy she will 86 you. I apologize for being so choppy.. I never leave reviews, and this is taking forever.. But I have to say something. This is something that happened to me and I didn't have a problem. I just needed to be educated on how to manage my hair.. This did not have to be this big of a deal.. WOW drama and I don't get along.. that's for sure read more

Stephanie is an exceptional and talented artist! She has a keen eye for detail and really dedicates her time to give you exactly what you want (but better). She offers really good input and advice for looks/styles that will help accentuate your own unique beauty. I have really curly hair and she was able to give me the smoothest blowout I have ever gotten in my life, down to the roots. She also did my both my hair and makeup for my wedding and left me feeling so beautiful! I got so many compliments from many people and everything stayed beautifully throughout the day. Stephanie is the one to go to for any big event or to just walk out feeling really good about yourself! read more

I went in the morning for walk-in hair-cut, it didn't look not busy and the manager didn't seem to want to help. She took my number and said she'll let me know if there's availability later. She did text me to come two hours later but I'd wish she could've just given me a simple trim when she was free to help me! read more

Erickson, Jordan Erickson. Jordan is an AMAZING hair colorist and person. I've been going to her for a little over a year now and I'm obsessed with her work. Every single person I've come into contact with at Rake has been so sweet and down to earth. You can tell all of the ladies love what they do and put their clients needs above everything else. I can't say enough nice things about this salon and the wonderful people who work there. My only suggestion is that you contact them, meet them, and see for yourself. They won't disappoint! Thank you Jordan and Rake salon for helping me find a home for my hair care. read more

I met her for a consultation in November and we decided on what we wanted tOo dOo.. she was nice and went over all my options.. I made my appointment for services and she canceled on me.. we rescheduled and she canceled on me again just days before my trip.. when I tried to reach her she ghosted me.. no reply, no communication, no nothing.. I decided to reach out to the shop and I spoke with one of the owners .. she did apologize and tried to find me another hairstylist ( which is the only reason I'm giving them 2 stars) Debbie was then assigned to do my hair and then later decided not to because I had a silk press (flat iron my hair) 8 months ago SOo overall I never got my hair done for my trip... I was so disappointed.. read more

Met Kailyn for the first time today after moving to the area. I was a little nervous about finding someone new to color my hair but I tried this salon based on some great reviews. The salon is beautiful and very clean. Kaitlyn was so nice and worked so quickly. She did a great job matching my old color and cut! Super happy with Kailyn and already have my next appointment scheduled with her! Five stars! read more

Just moved here about two months ago and really needed a hair stylist that was really good with balayage so I scoped out several hair stylist's Instagram profiles. They always show their work on there! I found Sherida's instagram and fell in love with all of her work. She's VERY talented. I instagram messaged her and she got back to me almost immediately. I was so excited! I got to my appointment, I showed her some pictures of hair that Id like for myself, SHE TRULY BLEW ME AWAY! She gave me exactly what Ive been wanting and then some. We talked maintenance for my hair and different products. She shared with me stuff that she loves for herself! She is a true GEM! Go see her! I will travel long distances for her! :) :) read more

Absolutely LOVE the environment! I saw Kaylin and explained what I wanted and she did an amazing job! I've never been to a salon where my neck didn't hurt after from the rinse sink, but after my visit today my neck is pain free!!! Completely love this salon and will for sure be going back!!! read more

2 stars because Carisa whom I wanted to originally make an appointment with was very nice, friendly despite her being booked. She then recommended me to her colleague Jordan who I still have yet to hear back from 6 days and two phone calls of checking in later. It's one thing to be busy but, if a POTENTIAL client is trying to schedule and you take their contact and promises to get back to them when you finish with a client on the chair, you get back to them if not that day at least 24 hours later at best. I called back two days later, she was off and who ever picked up the phone took my information and said she'd text Jordan to call me back and still nothing. Just annoying is all. Hoping your luck to get a booking with Carisa was much more better than mine, her reviews are great and she's very nice when I talked to her. Too bad for Jordan for loosing me as a client and for this elite review I've written along with my network of friends whom I'll be happy to share their disregard for customer service and not caring much for new clients. read more

I was in town and stumbled upon this gem! The salon is very clean and has such cute decor. I haven't colored my hair in more than 15 years and decided today was the day. Kaylin was able to squeeze me in for an evening appointment and she did not disappoint! She helped me select the perfect color for the aesthetic I was looking for and she worked so quickly! I wish I could give her 10 stars! Highly recommend! read more

Liv is the best! I have been seeing her for about a year now. I had been struggling to find a hair stylist that was passionate and knowledgeable about hair. I had a bad experience at another salon and my hair ended up turning an orange color. I explained to Liv that I wanted to be blonde and have all the orange brassy tones removed. She has helped me become blonde safely and has made my hair so much healthier than it was when I first met her. I have never been disappointed with any of our sessions and I am always happy with the result. My hair is now blonde and I couldn't be happier with it. Liv is very thoughtful and caring during each visit. I like how she takes her time to make sure everything is perfect. The salon itself is gorgeous and everyone that works there is very nice. read more

I always feel super awkward going into nice salons because I'm not very girly and I feel out of place... Shirley gave me a wonderful haircut, she made me feel comfortable. She took the time to wash my hair, fully dry it, and on top of that she straightened it... none of that may seem abnormal but I have a lot of hair, it takes forever to dry... and it's a pain in the assssh to straighten. The ambiance in the salon is wonderful, the hair washing stations are so comfortable I could have taken a nap in it. Also they have some pretty great products, Shirley let me know what she was using but I didn't feel like like she was hardcore trying to sell me some, which was nice. Also the owner, I forgot her name, was so kind, I was looking at some of the hair products and she brought me some samples to try out before I invested in entire bottles. This spot is one of the gems of downtown Brentwood. read more

I love Rake! I always see Shirley and she always gives me the BEST cut and color. She always does an amazing job!! The salon is well taken care of (clean, coffee mugs, bathroom) with country & rustic decor. The salon uses VERY good products and everyone in the salon is friendly and says hello. I always love spending time in the salon. An East Bay gem!!! read more

Super cute salon. I gave this spot a try based on all the Yelp reviews. I am so happy with my decision. First off, I spoke with Staci(owner) to schedule my appointment and she was so sweet and accommodating to my hectic schedule with life with four kids. Debbie did wonders on my hair. She is so kind, super patient, and a perfectionist(which I appreciate). She made sure I was completely happy with my cut. My go to spot and stylist! read more

I've been going to Jordan for over a year now and she is so amazing with color. She loves highlights and can do amazing color. I've had ombré, blonde highlights, burgundy lowlights, rose gold and lots of natural shades in between. Also I've had her do Short cuts, angled, long & straight and layers. She knows what is fashionable and looks good on you. read more

This goes out to Liv! She's amazing; right when you walk in, the whole salon warms you up and instantly makes you feel relaxed. The whole staff is so friendly and sweet. I usually get a cut and color and they charge very reasonably, so I'd hate to go anywhere else. Liv is so gentle with your hair, she gets you exactly what you want, and she's great at what she does. She even did my moms hair and it's absolutely stunning. If anyone wants to get their hair done at the most perfect salon, go to Rake. read more

If you are looking for someone professional who is truly talented Carisa is your go to girl! I followed her to Rake from her last salon. Carisa gave me a custom colored NBR extensions 6 months ago and they have been everything I dreamed of. I wanted something that felt natural and was as low maintenance as possible. Carisa takes her time, educates you on coloring and styling, and is a perfectionist to make sure your color is seamless. She spends time to listen to you and makes sure she understands exactly what your hair goals are to make sure you leave happy and satisfied. She is very attentive and is very prompt at getting back to you in a timely manner which is a problem I have faced with my last stylist. I highly recommend Carisa for color and hair extensions to have gorgeous natural looking longer hair. On top of being an amazing stylist she is such a super sweet genuine person. read more
