Marisa is such a blessing to offer peroxide free hair color and highlights. The salon is small and comfortable and I enjoy the wonderful environment she has created. I always leave relaxed. For 7 years, I am compliments regularly as Marisa is a master when it comes to both cuts and color. My family owned hair salons growing up so I am very particular as to who I will let touch my hair. When you find a gem like Marisa, you hang onto them for life! read more

I have been coming to Soleil Salon for the past 2 years. I came upon this salon when searching for healthier hair dying options while I was pregnant. Marisa was a life saver! She listens to all your wants and needs, she creates hair color and style that is even better than what you have pictured, and when talking to her you feel like you have known her for years. Because my hair has been the healthiest and strongest it's ever been while going to her, I have continued to go to her postpartum. I cannot recommend her and this adorable, welcoming salon enough! The quality of service and the person she is far exceeds any other salon/hair stylist I have been to :) read more

I have been going to Soleil Salon for years and could not be happier. Marisa always guarantees my hair looks gorgeous and makes my time with her one of my favorite things. I look forward to it each and every time. Her products are outstanding, and I am so excited she offers Aveda to her clients. Last but not least, the experience of her Los Gatos Salon is like a retreat away from the hectic world of Silicon Valley. read more

I have been going here for years. Marisa is great! I was having hair thinning and was worried that regular hair dyes could contribute to the hair loss. This salon uses ammonia free, organic hair dye which is the main reason I keep coming back. read more

I recently moved to this area and needed a hair salon. I wanted non-toxic hair color so I searched for that and have been so pleased with Marisa and this salon! My hair color has been great and thankfully odor free! Also I love all the Aveda products they use in the salon. I'm very happy with the healthy organic products as well as the cuts and styling of my hair! read more

I have been having my hair cut and colored by Marisa for many years. My hair has never looked better. I love that the color products she uses are organic and not toxic and that my color looks natural. The way she cuts my hair is awesome. I appreciate that she takes her time and I always leave loving my hair. She's great at talking thru what I want and gives suggestions to help with care and styling. She has always been easy and reliable with scheduling and is lovely to work with. read more

Marisa is fantastic. Great listener and really uses the best organic products. Very professional and very honest with a realistic approach to my hair. Marisa always takes her time to get it right!

Soleil Salon - Love Marisa! She always asks a lot of questions prior to your treatment and uses beautiful organic products. Great salon! - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Gatos, California

When I first made an appointment with Marisa, I was hesitant and very nervous because I had never used natural hair dyes before. I had done everything you can think of to my hair and it was in poor shape. My natural brunette color had grown out, the middle portion of my hair was a muddied reddish tint and the ends were disastrous. I was hopeful but very unsure about natural products working with my over-processed hair. As soon as Marisa had me in her chair, I knew I was in good hands. She explained everything to me and stepped me through what she thought would work best for my request. At this point I simply wanted to blend the rest of my hair with my roots so I could let it grow out naturally and let it get more healthy. The first attempt was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. After a week, I had washed it a couple times and it had already begun fading. BEFORE I even had a chance to call the salon, Marisa had already followed up with me through text asking how the color was working. She booked an appointment with me right away to fix the issue, quickly corrected the color (at no charge) and it has now been months of constant compliments and matching hair! Not only is Marisa an excellent stylist, she is an excellent communicator, making for good conversation in the chair and consistent check-ins after appointments. I highly, highly recommend her. Oh, and though Marisa never pushed product like some stylists do, I was so impressed with the leave-in conditioner that she used in my hair that I got a bottle to take home. I use it daily and recommend it to anyone with fine and curly hair. It doesn't weigh it down at all and it feels soft and natural. read more

I came in to see Marisa after some other stylist bleached my hair. The other stylist bleached my virgin hair and then dyed the top part darker, which created a line through my hair. It also turned a little orange. I was desperate for someone to fix it and knew Marisa could help me with it. She did an amazing job and fixed the line in my hair which was bleached, she blended it beautifully. I am so happy with the color of my hair and will definitely keep going back to Marisa. She alway uses organic products which I love. read more

Took my girlfriend here for a spa day. Didn't think spending hours here would be fun. But my nails and feet we're pretty rough so I said why not. Don't knock it til' you try it. I'm glad I did. Linda was very helpful. I felt like a new man after the medicure and pedicure. The service was great. I been going back here since. Highly recommended. read more

Here again to update on a new look! Marisa is AMAZING!! My daughter and I both wanted new short hairstyles (think Anne Hathaway!) and we are so thrilled with how it turned out! She knows how to make a style work with however your hair is. My daughter and I have very different textures and thickness of hair, but both our cuts turned out perfect. Thanks again Marisa!! read more

I started a "no poo" hair care routine almost a year ago, which means I wash my hair with all natural ingredients (baking soda/water mixture for "shampoo" and an apple cider vinegar/water mixture for a "conditioner" rinse) or a shampoo with organic/raw ingredients. My hair has become so much healthier since I made the change, so I wanted to find a salon that used organic or at least, products without parabens/sulfates/silicone. After some searching I dug up Soleil Salon on Yelp. Carla and Marisa carry both certified organic and standard professional hair care products. Their organic line is Intelligent Nutrients, as stated on their website. This is what initially interested me in coming, and I'm so glad I did - I was SO pleased with my experience. I called after I got out of work to ask if I could walk in / whether they had time for me to drop in before they closed, and Carla graciously made an appointment for less than an hour later. Carla was very efficient and did a great job with my cut. It was relatively simple as far as cuts go (blunt layers, chopped off about 10 inches of hair), but she had great hands during the shampoo, blowout, and cutting process. She achieved a modern/hip look with my hair with very little effort. I would definitely come back here. Parking can be an issue in this part of Los Gatos and the cut was on the pricier side. Still, being able to continue my lifestyle choice of staying organic with my hair care products is definitely worth the extra cost to me. I am glad that Soleil offers the option for organic, and I'm surprised that there are not many salons locally that do this, considering the area. I would definitely recommend Soleil! I hope to come back again to see what else they can do with my hair. read more

I highly recommend this Salon that offers genuine organic hair color plus hair care products. Ask for Marisa. She is highly qualified, lovely person and takes great pride and interest in her work. She has been doing my hair for six months and I am always entirely satisfied plus it is in great condition. I get many compliments. Also lovely location in Los Gatos. I am so happy and look forward to every hair appointment. Nicola read more

I'm a 100% organic living woman with naturally curly hair. Until now, I've had to make sacrifices when getting my hair done with inorganic products with a so-so hairdresser. If you are looking for quality, 100% organic hair/skin/body ingredients and a talented hairdresser, I'd recommend a visit with Marisa @ Soleil Salon. I know there are hundreds of salons in Los Gatos, but in this case, you just need to choose right and be ever after happy. She's great with color ( I get my hair highlighted), works confidently with curly hair and offers you tips and expanded knowledge on how to properly care for my look at home. I think the prices are fare, and the service is excellent. I have received many compliments from friends and co-workers on how healthy my hair looks and how wonderful the color is. I'm hers for life! read more

Marisa is amazing. She always makes me look great, and is a wonder with color. She is also always concerned with the health of my hair. She uses and recommends the best organic products for me. My hair is so much healthier because of it. Soleil Salon is so quaint charming and comfortable and I always get the best treatment! read more

Marisa is a true professional. She takes her time and makes sure you leave with the best cut and color. She has helped turned my hair around! My ends used to break, so she introduced me to this fabulous organic shampoo and conditioner. My hair has never been so healthy! She even calls you a couple days after your visit to make sure you are happy with everything. I absolutely love her and her new salon and look forward to many more years having Marisa as my stylist. I recommend you give her a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Aack... I am ashamed to say that I'm hesitant to write this review because of unadulterated self-serving motives (I don't want to share her with the world.) However, after my visit with Marisa last Monday, I am compelled to broadcast my delight and sing her praises. I noticed, for months, the beautiful, healthy, professional yet modern hair styles and hair color of two acquaintances. When I finally asked each who she saw for her hair, they both referred me to Marisa at Soleil Salon. No coincidence. I've had a couple superb hairstylists and colorists over the years, but Marisa has proven to be the best by far for me. As others have stated, she is highly skilled in dealing with the texture, length, hair growth patterns, and natural color of my hair while working to complement my skin color, lifestyle, face shape, age, and preferences. She's excellent. Her work highlights and accentuates my attributes and downplays problem areas. Marisa listens intently,and offers her suggestions and expertise, giving the pros and cons of treatments and styles. Her goal is to make you feel stunning and capable of caring for and styling your hair on a day-to-day basis. Her salon is calm, quiet, and beautiful and a quick exit off the freeway. She's never juggled multiple people at once nor have I had to ever wait. She communicates via text to confirm appointments and is very flexible (comes in early if needed). She does the whole enchilada (washing, conditioning, coloring, cutting, styling) and she is easy to talk with - open, positive, professional, interesting. The coffee is always excellent, she brings in homemade (I think?) bisotti, and she is open to work around mobile devices or computers for working. I like to be there to relax and catch up on the latest entertainment or decorating news, but it's nice that I can call in for a meeting or follow up on an email without any issue. The products she uses are amazing - Intelligent Nutrients. They smell great and are perfect for my hair and skin. read more

My appointment was for noon and she was ready for me immediately. Offered me coffee or a soda. Washed my hair and gave me an excellent haircut. Carla also trimmed my eyebrows. I was a referral from another referral. A good sign. I'll be back. Thanks Carla! read more

Marisa is the BEST. She is a true artist. Not only does she listen carefully and ask clarifying questions (so she's on the same page as you) to create your ideal look, but she actually has the SKILLS to make it happen! She's great with color and with the shears. She goes out of her way to meet your needs and follows up with you to make sure you are 100%+ happy. Although I'm not a client of Carla's, her clients seem equally pleased. The two get along so well and do a fantastic job at making you feel at home... the warm coffee mugs, homemade baked goods, warm and comfortable yet elegant decor...you want to hang around and not go back to work. read more

I love Soleil Salon and drive from Hayward to see Marisa! Marisa is fantastic - she spends plenty of time talking with you about what you are looking for before moving forward. Also, when getting significant length cut off, she goes slowly to make sure you are comfortable. The organic products are wonderful, do less damage to my hair and make my hair smell and feel great! This is a cute spot in a great location where you can grab coffee, a cocktail or go shopping after getting a great 'do! read more
