This review is for Libby…read more I've been seeing Libby for over two years and actually travel back to the Bay Area just to have my hair done by her - that's how good she is. She's a true color magician. She helped me transition through the awkward grey stage at exactly the right time, and later brought me back to light brown in a way that blends beautifully with my fast-growing greys and grows out naturally without constant upkeep. The moment I knew I could fully trust her was when she gave me a short haircut, something I'm usually very hesitant about and absolutely nailed it. Finding a stylist who is genuinely excellent at both color and cutting is surprisingly rare, and Libby is both. She listens carefully, understands the science behind how color and texture behave, and designs styles that actually look great as they grow out not just the day you leave the chair. She's also warm, funny, and incredibly easy to be around. Even my husband, who normally avoids hair maintenance altogether, got a cut from her and loved it. If you care about grey transition, natural grow-out, or just want low-maintenance hair that still looks polished, Libby is the one.

I'm writing this review for my mom (she has dementia)and these are my thoughts and observations…read more For one, this was the first time here because my mom's hairdresser lost her place in Dublin, so she found a stall here. Anyways, the place itself is pretty convenient since it's located by the freeway. The place is surprisingly pretty big and spacious and my mom's hairdresser is always patient and polite. I will admit probably for my mom's next visit I'll have to stick around a tad longer and help my mom and her hairdresser when my mom gets her hair washed. So not everything there is I guess ADA available, but it's a minor thing for now since my mom has very limited mobility but can move with some assistance. As for the hairstyle, mom is always happy and I personally think makes her feel as normal as she can get these days and being content let alone having another outside interaction besides with me is always a good thing!

I have been looking for a new hair stylist for a while,I am so happy I found Nancy! She made me…read morefeel really comfortable and had great communication, she repeated back and made sure she understood the style I was going for before she started. Her Texturizing skills are amazing even on my fine hair! The cut she gave me brought back my confidence! She gave me tips on how to style my new cut. You can tell she loves her craft, she truly is an artist! Thank you Nancy!!! Cant wait for my next visit *(Nancy will you send me the pics so I cant post your beautiful work on this review?)

I've been going to Nancy since summer of 2021. When I first went to her, I have to say, I've been…read morehaving a difficult time with my hair. After about 6 months after my first haircut with her, and the tips she's provided, my hair is low key thriving! Let's start off with location... She's located downtown Hayward off B Street. Although, parking kinda sucks, and it is the Main Street with so many cars, her place is so cute! Inside her place, there plenty of seating, and a lot of chairs available. For the most part, whenever I go see her, I'm probably the only other client inside - just incase you guys get nervous for Covid reasons. Nancy is so welcoming. She starts off asking you what you want to do with your hair, and she observes and starts framing your face to see if you would like it and gives out suggestions as needed. Then she washes your hair, and then she begins the cut. She's so knowledgable in the industry. She given me helpful advice on how to maintain my hair. For reference, I've always had to wash my hair daily because it's always getting so oily. So she's given me tips on how to prevent it. And after 6 months of following tips, and seeing what works for me, my hair is fuller, healthier, and thriving as I've mentioned. She also sells products in house just in case you want to obtain professional items. I highly recommend her. You won't regret it.

She gives the best blowouts and knows exactly how to make my hair sleek and smooth in a way I love, but what really sets her apart is that she also cuts my hair so it looks amazing curly too. She's incredibly talented, accommodating, and genuinely feels more like a friend than just a hairdresser. She's so easy to talk to and always makes the experience relaxed and enjoyable. Her space is beautiful and welcoming, and she's always generous with tips to help me care for my hair between visits. I leave every appointment feeling taken care of and confident. I couldn't recommend her enough!

I was referred to Karla by a friend & I can't thank her enough bc I LOVE KARLA!! She is amazing as…read morea friend, a hairstylist and even my therapist every time i sit in her chair! I go see her every 6 months bc that's usually when I start to feel an itch and wanna do something to my hair LOL. The first time that I met her, I told her what I want & she gave me that & soooo much more! My hair originally was feeling dry and lifeless and ever since I've been going to Karla, it's been so shiny and healthy! Now whenever I go, I let her do whatever bc I trust her :) She's the type of hairstylist that will listen to what you want but explain to you about why this method might not work but this method can. She definitely isn't the stylist that just snips snips. Immediately meeting her, you get the feeling as if you guys have known each other for so long & it's just like old friends catching up whenever I'm there. If you wanna leave looking and feeling like a BADDIE, BOOK W/ HER. She's AMAZING.

I am long overdue in writing this review for my favorite hair salon, specifically for Sonya. She is…read morenot only amazing but also very nice! Due to my recent childbirth, I was unable to visit for several months, yet she remembered exactly what I wanted and made me feel comfortable. Sonya listens carefully to my requests and truly understands my style. As someone who is quite picky and sensitive about my hair, I have visited many places looking for the right stylist who can deliver the look I envision. Sonya has consistently been the closest to what I desire, and I leave the salon satisfied every time. I am now even bringing my husband in for a haircut, and we both love the results. I highly recommend Sonya and this salon to anyone looking for a great experience!

I am so glad I came here on a whim. I am just blown away. I've always felt afraid getting my hair…read morecut, because my hair and face shape are very particular and I've been done dirty by other stylists in the past. When I arrived they were very busy (new years eve's eve; everyone wants a cut rn) but i and another girl were offered waters and macarons. We also received a complimentary Olaplex service for the wait. I nearly fell asleep during that service lol it was very relaxing and then my hair felt amazingly soft afterwards. Paula was incredibly caring. She took the time to really understand what I want and paused to ask me questions throughout. "Speak from the heart," is what she'd tell me to really make sure I was happy. She maintained my length, understanding how precious it was to me, but somehow gave my thinner Asian hair more volume with the U-shape cut technique. The layers and face framing pieces were soft and cohesive, blending into my hair naturally when unstyled. She did this intentionally because I mentioned I don't really have time to style my hair. But if I decide I do want to style my hair, the layers are there to play around with. I also struggle with flat hair, and she managed to give me volume around the head (unstyled!) with her cutting technique. Then at the end, she took notes on the cut I received to remember for the future. I just loveeee the attention to detail, the expertise, and how cared for I felt here. I think I've found my go-to salon now, finally.

Unfortunately, my experience at this salon was very disappointing. I came in with a clear reference…read morephoto and explained exactly what I wanted (balayage and color). I was told they could achieve the same result. However, the final outcome was completely different from what we agreed on. The color was not the same, the style was uneven, and my hair ended up damaged. I paid almost $400 for this service, expecting professional results, but the quality did not match the price at all. At the very least, I would have appreciated honesty if the desired result was not achievable. I left feeling very unhappy with the service, and now my hair needs repair. I hope the salon takes this feedback seriously and improves their services. (By the way Amber Lopez is the one who dyed my hair.)

My hair hasn't been touched in a while and I have thick Asian hair with a sensitive scalp. She did highlights on the top of my head, and the whole process didn't feel rushed at all -- we even finished faster than I expected. The salon setup is super welcoming. I was greeted right away by Janet and Gorgean, and their customer service was amazing from start to finish. The shop is organized, clean, and has such a warm, inviting vibe. Amber was working next to Paradise and she was a pleasure to chat with. She was doing a cut and styled blowout on another client, and the client looked incredible walking out. Overall, the atmosphere of the shop and the quality of everyone's work make me want to come back and get more done. Highly recommend!

I consider myself a very lucky woman for reaching out to my friends for hair stylist…read morerecommendations and then hearing back from Mandy. Mandy is the kind of stylist that everyone wants. She is personable, talented, caring, knowledgeable, and dedicated to her craft. I had a Brazilian blowout done by her and my hair looks amazing. Her pricing and scheduling were perfect. Spending time with her energized me. She's such a positive person and even when we were talking a bit of smack about things, we were still keeping it positive! Haha Her vibe raised my cool factor! Loved her and loved my hair! I highly recommend Mandy. I will follow her to the ends of the earth from now on plus she's a dog lover so how can you not want to have her in your friend book?

She was honest about how hard my hair will lift because of the permanent hair dye I have used on my hair. But whatever she did, it looks amazing!

Talented, easy to talk to, dedicated....all the things you want in your hair artist. Thank you Hao!

I've received a full balayage makeover from my box Dyer red hair and I've been repeatedly turned down by multiple salons from being anywhere close to blonde. I was told that I SHOULD NOT attempt to go blonde and wait until I have virgin hair again which comes around once in a life time for us girlies. Hoa reassured my hairs integrity and explained in detailed of the process and she didn't give me any false hopes but ABOVE AND BEYOND. I would like to say that I'm a introverted extroverted type of person but she made me feel so comfortable and worth time getting pampered. We took approximately around 10 hours for my full balayage but time went by so fast with her. She's so kind and attentive, her customer service is definitely top tier as well as her skills. If gatekeeping was still a thing in this time and generation, I'd take it to my grave. She ensured that I would walk out that salon looking real good, the cut and color suited my particular skin tone and everything then I didn't even think of a second doubt. This was my first balayage ever and I'm really happy she was the one to do it while others couldn't. I really love how's she's passionate about her job and she's there every moment of the way for you.

haircut? ok. color…read moreyour hair? Not recommended. way too strong for the color chemicals. no cover at all. meaning after they applied the chemical to your beautiful hairs, it just left in the open. anything in your surrounding will have a chance get to your hair while waiting. especially you catch in a busy time. not sure why they don't put some kind of plastic film, shrink wrap, or that head dome just to protect your exposure from other debris like people haircut or something. I would go somewhere else to color or anything other than basic haircut. also, for some reason they don't wash your hair before or after the cut, even I asked, prior to apply the color. even they have the washing stations for whatever purpose they used for, or for some kind of special guests only.
