Leah is amazing!! Super knowledgeable, skilled, friendly, and considerate--all qualities of a…read morewonderful hairstylist. Found her on IG & had a lovely experience having my hair cut by her. I went in for the riskiest and shortest haircut of my life--a chin-length bob--and was extremely nervous, but also excited. I left the salon satisfied and appreciative of such a pleasant experience! We immediately went to work upon my arrival. She double checked with me for my desired cut, then helped me thoroughly wash and condition my hair. Throughout the haircut, I could tell she was confident in her abilities (something I definitely am on the lookout for now, after my previous botched haircut ) and that made me feel at ease. She consistently checked in with me and was able to adjust or explain things based on my callouts. What I appreciated most about Leah was her advice and suggestions. She suggested I make adjustments to my original requests, including shifting to slight side part instead of my usual middle part and going a tad shorter than my inspo, and I believe they were definitely the right calls. She is also very detail-oriented; both the right and left sides of my hair naturally move in the same direction, which she noticed and helped me correct in the haircut for a more balanced look. I've never had a hairdresser address this and was honestly shocked when she mentioned it (': I really felt like she not only put so much thought and care into the haircut itself, but she also made sure I understood her decisions and was satisfied with everything. She even went so far as to taking a decent amount of time to use Google Translate to clearly and effectively explain exactly how I should style my hair to achieve the most natural, desirable results (and avoid the ends of my hair looking like "octopus tentacles" lol). I felt very seen--it was so appreciated!!! My experience took just over an hour in total. I felt very prioritized and never rushed. Her prices are also very reasonable, especially compared to other places in the Bay. The cost varies by hair length and per cut (not drastically) and she was able to quote me on IG prior to my appointment, so I knew exactly what to expect. Highly recommend Leah's salon!!!

This review is for Mandi @ Salon L…read more Ahh... Mandi. I purchased a Groupon for a wash, cut, and blow dry for $32 which was a superb deal. But I think I got what I paid for, which was a $32 cut, not a $70 something cut for the price of $32. Mandi gave me a semi-haircut nightmare, which is one where you're DONE with your haircut and not once did she walk me through what she was doing or if I wanted any changes made, etc. That literally freaked me out! Afterwards, I felt so rushed to leave so I didn't even have the courage to ask for changes. She asked me to stand to look at my hair and directed me to the cashier. I was like... "umm.. but.. yeah ok.. " Although very sweet, she seems very meticulous with her conversational topics with me, like she was fishing to see if I would come back as a regular customer. She asked me questions like what I do, where I was from, if I come to this area often, how often do I cut my hair, etc. All normal conversational topics, but hearing that I'm a student, lives like 30 miles away, doesn't come here often, and has been a while since my last haircut might've turned our relationship sour. Little does she know that I do my brows in concord all the time and will pass by WC often... The conditioner that was used on my hair is not the best in the world. I've had better products put in where it's SUPER deep treatment conditioning. My hair still feels rough right now. The haircut seems like maybe 15 minutes max, honestly. She started blow drying. I thought to myself, maybe she's just going to dry it to see what my hair would look like then adjust it from there. NOPE, she blow-dried it and I was in and out of there in about 40 minutes. My hair didn't come out bad, it's not what I wanted though. I asked for layers, there were minimal layers. Top, highest layer isn't even an inch from the bottom. I must confess, I have a fear of salons for these reasons. The reason why I choose to always grow out my hair. I should have been more vocal, but she wasn't vocal either. I don't need her to constantly conversate with me, but at least ASK me! I mean.. I'm leaving my physical appearance in your hands, 2 sentences in the beginning of our meeting isn't enough information! GAHH! At least it wasn't disastrous. She didn't over cut my hair, but my boyfriend saying, "You cut your hair? It looks the same" isn't a good sign either. I cut off at least 4-5 inches right off the bat, and if there are no noticeable differences, then not enough was done! This was more of a $40+ (including tip) trim.

After a lackluster experience at Madison Reed--both with the technique and the products--I decided…read moreto try The Marc Salon in Walnut Creek, especially after reading that they offered a similar color subscription membership with more skilled stylists and top-tier products. I'm so glad I did! I walked in without an appointment, and Raymond took me in for a detailed consultation. From the very start, it was clear that he really knows color--he even had me step outside to see how my current hair looked in natural light before deciding on the direction. I showed him a few inspiration photos, and he immediately understood the look I was going for. The result? A gorgeous, rich cowboy copper-auburn that was exactly what I had in mind. The tone and dimension were spot on. Plus, Raymond was super fun to chat with, which made the whole appointment fly by. I ended up joining their membership program so I never have to worry about my roots or grays creeping in for too long. I can't wait to come back! If you're looking for someone who truly understands color and delivers beautiful, lived-in results in a relaxed salon environment, ask for Raymond. He's a total game changer!

I have called Nina Yegany at Ciao Bella a Master Colorist and Stylist for nearly 20 years…read more I noticed a friend's gorgeous haircuts for a couple years before finally asking, "who does your hair" and she said... Nina! So I called her. When I sat down I told her I was hoping that she is someone who takes face shape, hair type and skin tone into account because I felt like I wanted to try something different in a style and color. She didn't miss a beat and said "absolutely". Because of what I've seen in friends... I believed her... Instant trust! She's been passionate about hair since she was 17... she even trained in Milan for 2 yrs. My hair is fine and I have lots of it so layers work very well for me. I get a lot of compliments so yeah I love my haircuts, I love my hair color, I love the chill, calm vibe of the salon... and I just love my sassy, kind, sweet and loving, friend, Nina!
