I absolutely love what Nikko does with my hair! I have naturally dark, thick Asian hair, which…read moreisn't always easy to lighten, and he consistently gives me the blonde highlights I love while keeping my hair incredibly healthy, soft, and shiny. I see him about every 3 months for my color, highlights, and long layers, and one of my favorite things about his work is how well everything grows out. Even when my roots start coming in, the color blends so naturally that my hair still looks fabulous and never feels like I'm overdue for an appointment. It's that timeless hair color and effortless, natural looking hair that I really love. I get so many compliments, and considering how much we lighten my dark hair, I'm always amazed that it never feels dry or brittle. Nikko is very gentle with the processing and really understands Asian hair and how to achieve lighter tones without sacrificing the health of your hair. He works with you throughout the process to get the results you want and also gives wonderful advice on keeping your hair healthy between appointments, like not blow drying with high heat every day, lowering the temperature on your flat iron, and always using a leave in conditioner with heat protectant. Nikko is truly talented at what he does, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. If you have Asian hair and want blonde highlights, long layers haircut, and natural looking color that grows out seamlessly, he's the best!!

Code Salon reached out, genuinely listened to my concerns, and went above and beyond to make things right, including issuing me a refund. What stood out most to me was how sincere, professional, and thoughtful they were throughout the entire process. There was no defensiveness or dismissiveness whatsoever just a real effort to understand my experience. It's very clear that they care deeply about their work, their reputation, and, most importantly, their customers. Mistakes or disappointing experiences can happen anywhere, but the way a business responds says so much about its character. Code Salon handled everything with a level of integrity and care that I truly appreciated. I'm really grateful for how they followed up and for the way they turned a negative experience into one that left me with a great deal of respect for them. Their professionalism and commitment to making things right absolutely deserve to be acknowledged. I can't recommend them enough. They have the deep expertise, they have the talent, but most importantly, they have the integrity and that's what makes them exceptional. Shoutout the owner and my highly professional expert stylist.

Got my hair colored again last month, and this time I added a haircut because it was long overdue…read more Like possibly almost 2yrs overdue. I scheduled the appointment for 10am on a Saturday, and then I got a call where they would do the haircut at 10am, and then the color at 10:30am. My stylist for the haircut was Alexander and he was so nice! He explained every step and made sure I was comfortable as we went along. This was also a dry cut, which I've never had. I was about to take my glasses off, and he asked that I keep them on since I wear them most of the time and he wanted to ensure my haircut would essentially accommodate it. I've never had a stylist ask me that before and it makes perfect sense. So now my hair frames my face well, with and without my glasses. After the haircut was the color with Zoe and it was a relaxing experience. I wanted to fall asleep (I'm the type that falls asleep to ASMR videos especially with combing and wooden makeup sounds). Then it was a shampoo and style with another stylist. I called that day my self-care Saturday, and I felt so relaxed and refreshed after being there for nearly 3 hours. Now that my hair has grown out a bit, it still looks good. I love the layers that Alexander created, which took my now naturally wavy hair into account (my hair has been getting wavier as I'm aging). I feel like my grays aren't blending as well as the color fades. Maybe it's because the new shampoo I'm using may be too good at retaining the color. At a certain angle, it's very apparent where the dye ends and where my grays start. But you'd have to be shorter than me to see it, and I'm pretty short. Overall the color still looks great and tbh I don't think anyone is noticing my gray roots at the moment. The cost of the haircut and color was over $400 with tip. But my hair is still looking fantastic a month in. And this is something I'll probably do twice a year, so it's something I can save up for.
