Brittany is my new stylist, and she is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! Brittany did my color and cut, and I…read morecan honestly say that this is the BEST cut and color I have EVER had!!! I had a lot of breakage and my color was a mess. I wasn't too confident on what my options were, but Brittany completely turned everything around, and I am SO-SO-SO GRATEFUL and ELATED to have found her!!! I HIGHLY recommend Brittany and this WONDERFUL salon!!!

UPDATE: The owner's reply is insane and I'm happy to provide you screenshots of precisely when I…read morecalled your salon to express my confusion over your salon being closed. I was there how else would I know what everything looked like and that it was closed. Your accusations are false and truly outside the realm of normal behavior. If you send me another cold threat as you did last night as stated below I'm contacting authorities. I am a professional with a busy life I don't have time to make up extravagant lies to get out of a hair appointment for god sakes. You appear to possibly have some issues that take you out of your right mind / professionalism based on your reply and other reviews that speak to you and your staff's difficult personalities. I just had the worst most unprofessional experience at this salon. I had an appointment scheduled for today (11/24) at 10:30. I showed up at 10:20 and waited outside on the bench as the salon was closed (no one told me it was only open by appointment on Mondays). I waited until 10:30 on the bench outside after trying to open the door but the salon was dark and locked. I pulled up the salon's website on Google only to discover it was closed on Mondays. I called the salon and left a voicemail about what I assumed was an online booking error, since their Google profile in fact states they are closed on Mondays and the salon was closed and locked, and then I left after 10:30. I later got a text from Brittany the stylist asking where I was. Very confused, I explained to her what happened. She gave me an attitude and told me I needed to come back for the appointment, that she was late due to an accident on the freeway so that's why no one was here to open the salon/let me in for my appointment, and due to their cancellation policy, I had to come back down to the salon for my appointment. I told her that Google stated they were closed on Monday, the salon was dark and locked, and no one answered or called me back after I left appointment, so again, I assumed it was an online booking error and I left. She got very argumentative with me (instead of apologizing and clarifying), insisted she was stuck in traffic and that's why she wasn't here to let me in, and insisted again that I needed to come back for her or I would be charged due to their cancellation policy. She also kept arguing with me that "no I was here," at 10:30, before later changing her story and telling me she was stuck in traffic. She was not here. I sat on the bench outside, everything was dark, the door was locked, and again, no one answered the phone or called me back after leaving a voice message. I told her I wasn't engaging in such an unprofessional conversation and she raised her voice and told me I was being unprofessional, at which point I disconnected the call. I am shocked at the way I was left hanging in front of a closed salon for my scheduled appointment, then contacted LATER and told I NEEDED TO COME BACK or face cancellation fees when it was the salon and Brittany's fault that no one was there for my scheduled appointment and no one answered when I left a voicemail, leaving me to assume there was an online booking error and the salon was actually closed. How was I supposed to know/assume any of that?? I am even more shocked by Brittany's horribly rude and unprofessional argumentative demands that I better turn around and come back LATE for my appointment or I would be charged, when the entire reason I left was because SHE was late, the salon was CLOSED, no one answered the phone or returned my voicemail, and no one communicated to me that they were in fact open today but my stylist was late and on her way. I worked in the salon industry as an esthetician and makeup artist for years and never have I encountered such an unprofessional interaction. Never. Then I got this threatening text just now from Brittany/Rare Byrd.

Jason is the best hair stylist! My daughters and I have been going to him for years. He's…read moreincredibly professional, always knows exactly what we need, and consistently delivers amazing results. Whenever anyone asks for a recommendation, I always send them his way--highly recommend!

The stylist I saw has since left this salon…read more Originally I emailed Sixteen Eighty Eight through Yelp with my formula and they confirmed they were able to do it, which was great news since I've had trouble finding someone who can follow my formula in Walnut Creek. They matched me with a stylist and I came in on a particularly cold rainy day. The first issue I noted was that they didn't use heat to process, which my formula calls for. Although I've had other salons use wet heat to treat, using no heat was unusual. Beyond that, I noted the stylist would make comments where the tone sounded friendly, but the words like, "your hair is so long, do you ever cut it," were a bit rude. By the end of the visit it was clear she didn't particularly like me, but my hair looked fine under the lighting, so I tipped well and left. What followed has literally never happened to me in the four years I've gotten full root coverage. The color leeched out of my hair - as in, within a few days, all coverage was gone. I don't know what she used, but after a week it didn't look like I'd gotten my hair done at all - my best guess is that because she didn't use heat, it didn't process correctly. I just don't know. I've sat on this review trying to decide how I feel about it, but I definitely always now confirm my formula has to be processed with heat and I've gone back to my old salon in Berkeley even though it's a bit of a drive.
