I've been going to Briana for about five years now, basically since I moved to the Bay Area, and I…read moregenuinely cannot imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. I am extremely picky and have very high standards when it comes to my hair, not just with color, cuts, and styling, but with the overall health of my hair too. Since I started seeing Briana, my hair has become so much healthier, and she consistently gives me beautiful color and cuts without compromising that. What I love most about Briana is that I can completely trust her vision. I'll sometimes come in with an idea or inspiration, but I never feel like I need to micromanage the appointment. She understands what will work with my hair, features, and overall look, and she has such a natural ability to enhance what already suits you. The second I sit in her chair, I can relax because I know she's going to do her thing and I'm going to leave happy. Beyond being incredibly talented, Briana is down to earth, thoughtful, genuine, and just an all-around wonderful person. Five years of consistently amazing experiences speaks for itself. If you're particular about your hair and want someone you can truly trust, I cannot recommend her enough.

She…read morewill deny all that is written because she knows she is in the wrong but I encourage you to see the pattern that there are multiple reviews she is being defensive about (on this page and the Maison Deux site). She does not know how to work with brown skin and black hair (maybe blondes do better with her). She is extremely unprofessional with booking appointments as well. Avoid her at all costs. If she charges you, call your credit card company as she is a scammer and you can have the charges disputed. She took my cc number and then said she is not available-- I will be flagging to my credit card company.

They have complimentary eye goggles. Pretty much everywhere else you go will nickel and dime you to death for those. Every time I've gone, there's been zero wait time or any lines.

I recently visited Salt Studio for a haircut, and I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the level of service and expertise at this salon. My stylist, Karina, listened carefully to my vision for my hair and offered helpful suggestions to achieve the look I was going for. The end result was exactly what I wanted and more - my hair has never looked better! In addition to the top-notch services, the salon itself stylish, and comfortable. I highly recommend Salt Studio to anyone in need of a new haircut, color, or styling. The team at this salon truly goes above and beyond to ensure their clients leave feeling pampered and satisfied. I give Salt Studio a full 5 stars and will definitely be returning for all of my hair needs. read more

The entire appointment she was focused on someone else who came in and were discussing some side business or something, very rude. She was very rough with me, barely spoke to me and definitely didn't listen. I came in with a faux hawk her daughter gave me a few months back that had grown out but I damaged my hair bleaching it so I wanted the pixie to get rid of the damage. I even had to say that I wanted all the hair in the back and on the sides the same length, which should've been implied since that's the definition of "pixie". She started trimming the faux hawk instead of cutting it off, then only trimmed around one ear assuming I'd wear the hair to the one side thought I normally part on the opposite side (never asked where I part my hair, which I have always been asked whenever getting a haircut, and didn't bother to trim around the other ear because of this). Also with a pixie, and having mentioned a few times I wanted everything the same length, I shouldn't have to worry about only one ear getting cleaned up. Not to mention the very choppy layers. I had to schedule an appointment somewhere else to fix this. Very disappointed. Won't be coming back.
