How I came in ( with the orange in my hair)
Natasha R.

Found this salon on yelp and I decided to give it a try. My roots were grown out and my previous bleach job had left an orange tint in my hair. I asked them to blend in my roots and get rid of the orange in my ash blonde hair. I was there for about 5 hours and they were kind, patient and thorough. I had some breakage while they were washing my hair but they had already pre-warned me some would happen and they did a deep conditioning treatment in the salon and sent me home with an oil treatment for my hair as a gift. I asked them if my hair was really damaged or if it was okay they said it's holding up and there's only a little damage but when I went home and jumped in the shower so much hair came out I wanted to cry. I've included a picture of my before and after and the hair that came out wonderful ladies but I wish they were honest with me about how much damage my hair had

Look how beautiful!

I LOVE my hair so much. Thank you Strands Beauty Salon! I definitely am really satisfied with my new hair color! I strongly recommend this salon. Two ladies did my hair as a team. It cost $280.50 + $20 tip = $300.50 I got color, cut, and style.

Lena does her hair rather than help her customers! I

This place is a horrible place. They are unprofessional, rude and unwelcoming. We were ignored and not greeted when we came in. I waited 45 mins for my appointment, would have left if my mom wasn't getting her hair done. My daughter got her eyebrows done for the first time, was not offered to see it . When I complained, Helen said she didn't ask for a mirror which is customary to see it. When my mother and I complained Helen told my mother to shut up. In the photo, shows Lena doing her hair rather than helping customers. Lena also does not honor the 15% off for customers. When asked why is it on yelp she goes it's old. Do not go here !

New bangs, New me

First haircut in years & Ty did a wonderful job on changing up my style with beautiful feathered bangs just how I imagined! I read from other reviews that he was quite skilled, still that I felt SO guilty coming in with wet, freshly-washed-but-not-untangled hair! Regardless, he was unbothered, very polite & rendered fast service even while having to add in a little extra drying & combing time. 30 minutes & $35 later I was out enjoying the morning sunshine with a fresh look I absolutely love! First time customer very much approved.

I'm in Vallejo visiting family and wanted to get my hair done while I'm here before going back home to Arizona. I found this beauty salon through Yelp and saw all the good reviews about Ty and his balayage work! I went in and didn't expect it to be 5 hours long, but it was DEFINITELY worth every second! My hair was completely transformed and I'm still in awe about it. I can't wait to go back to Arizona and show it off. Definitely will be back for Ty to do magic on my hair whenever I'm back in Vallejo again!

Didn't disappoint again! Lena did a great job. It's similar to the color I had last time but I will go back to go even lighter

This is great little in a spot next to a gas station in Vallejo. It truly is a little gem. It advertises itself as luxury, but that's a bit of a stretch. They do however offer all the services salons do. I've gone twice. First time, I got haircut on 1st day. And second time, decided to give them a try with root touch up, gel manicure, regular pedicure, and even an eye lash lift. The first stylist who cut my long hair used trimmers, and my bangs with actual scissors, then gave it layers with shears. I've never had a stylist trim my hair with clippers before. Thought it was an non-orthodox way of doing it, but the result was still nice. I didn't hate it. Charged $35 for it. Ok, very inexpensive, again, I'm used to different salons. My roots have been growing out for sometime now and decided to get a root touch up. Came back a few days later. The lady who cut my hair was not the same who did the coloring. One lady was talking for the stylist who was going to be coloring my hair. The lady translating and I agreed to root touch up and the balayage highlighted hair to be raised further up the hairline, as it was under the crown level. Well, the stylist started putting foil in my hair and did not do what the lady and I agreed on, she did a full set of highlights on my entire hair. It's been a long time since I've had this look done, almost 6-7 years, so, I went with it. It's a classic look, can't go wrong with it. I just had an underlying feeling that maybe the stylist didn't know how to do more updated hair(?) There were 2 stylists working on the highlight foils. One of them kept patting my head very hard and I was getting really fed up with it. I hate having my head smacked. I feel it's a deal breaker for me. Again, I didn't say much, I knew it wasn't coming from a mean place and the lady was just unmindful of how hard she was actually patting the foil onto my head. Unfortunately the amazing color pictures shown here in Yelp are all the men's work. There are a few from one lady, and she's the one who cut my hair. I don't know where the men are at now, or if they still work there. Well, moving on, the manicurist did a perfect job on both my hands and feet. She also did my eye lash lift. The only draw back was when removing the eye lash lift product , the product got into my eyes, both of them, and it hurt. It stung my eyes and they were watering to get the product out. She gave me a fan to help with the burning sensation, as if this happens all the time. I would get an eye lash lift again, just not here. Price for the lift: $70. Price for the gel mani regular pedi: $60. I would absolutely come back for a manicure and pedicure. She's fantastic. It was a long day, I came in at 10:30a. I was offered water once, and food past 1pm. I did get the water bottle. But not sure what type of food they would of given me. The colorist, while removing the product offered to but an oil in my hair to help with dryness that occurs after highlighting. That said oil was $70. She then dried my hair with a hairdryer that had the air blade attached to it. It concentrates the hot air into an air blade and it kept burning my scalp. (Scalp being tender from coloring and shampoo wash where the lady kept using her nails directly on my entire scalp. I don't have oil build up or dandruff but if I did, this lady will remove all the oils and dead skin cells with those nails) anyway, it was tender and now hot air. The hair was dried, she asked if I wanted it curled. Yes, most salons style after coloring. It's part of the process, I thought. Then after she curled it, she asked if I wanted hairspray. Again, yes. Most salons are putting in product in the hair, either a shine product or simply hairspray. She charged $200. I do love my look, I do love the lifted eye lashes. And I absolutely love my nails. Beauty is painful, take it or leave it, haha. All in total, it was $330. I paid and left a $30 tip.

Never a complaint! Love my hair!!! Every time I walk in I get great service!! Thank you!

During these covid times seeing my disgusting hair (see pics) I finally committed to get my hair done. Made the call and I made an appointment with Ty, 4 plus hours later my hair was transformed! A little background I have been wanting this color for years & I have been told in the past I couldn't do this type of color in one seating , that it's a process, may take 2 even 3 times of session. So it was exciting to see the transformation. I'm blown away, after one visit ladies Ty is magic. he took his time, i was asking questions and he replied patiently . Very professional under this meticulous process. i just showed him a photo from his previous work of what I wanted and BOOM! it's so gorgeous! i will definitely be back. thank you so much Ty! I'm so happy with my new look! I paid and tipped through Venmo!

I do not recommend coming here for a manicure or pedicure. The service was horrible and the worker that did my nails was incredibly rough and rude. Whilst doing my manicure, she continuously over cut my nails. I had received multiple cuts around my nails and cuticles as well as a few scratches on my fingers. She also filed my nail till the part where my skin and nail meet was split open. The worker also continued to twist and tug my fingers with no communication as to what she wanted me to do. Overall I had an awful experience and do not recommend.

showing off the new hair !

LENA IS JUST AMAZING! i came in for a confidence boost and so a beautiful wonderful lady at Strands Beauty Salon gave me just what i needed. i came in made an appointment and asked for a balayage. i came out with nothing but exactly what i had pictured in my mind. it came out amazing beautiful and honestly perfect. Lena took patients and dedication with me as she also offered me snacks and waters. super sweet girl. i totally recommend making an appointment with her, for sure will return and i will be bringing others here. new fav spot! area is kinda sketchy filled with very strange people but inside this beauty salon is super beautiful and pleasant.

I wanted to express how appreciative I am of Erica. From my first appointment with her, I knew that…read moreshe had a client for life in me. What makes her so different from any nail tech that I've had in the past is how much she genuinely cares about her clients and her craft. She has heart and it pours into everything that she does. Every idea I've came to Erica with, every design or inspo pic I've had, Erica brought to life better than I ever could have imagined. I also appreciate that she creates a safe and inviting atmosphere that allows me to be myself whether that's quiet, social, or a little goofy. Her space is also always clean, organized, and cute! Anytime I leave my appointments I feel replenished from the inside out, I swear it's like soul food. I honestly recommend everyone to get slayed by Erica at least once to see what the hype is about!

I was hesitant to write this review, because I don't want to have to fight for my nail tech's time!…read moreBut I had to give Erica major props for the amazing work she does. I have been going to her for almost a year now and love all the acrylic sets she does for me. My style is more simple, but I am picky with details. And Erica has been accommodating to everything I've asked. At first, my style of nails were not what Erica was used to, but she was patient and listened to everything I asked. She has demonstrated adaptability and enthusiasm to further her craft. She loves to work with you on nail designs and has a great eye for watever aesthetics you want. She is amazing and sweet and highly recommend her!

I've been going to this nail salon for a while now and they never disappoint. The service is always…read moresolid, and the staff is professional and consistent every time I come in. Also, the woman who does eyelash extensions is hands down the best in Vallejo. If you care about quality and want your lashes done right, this is the place to go.

The day before a trip, I went to Nails Design for a pedicure and dip powder manicure. During the…read moreservice, I noticed the technician was not using a UV light to cure the product. When I asked about it, he simply shook his head. By the next day, while on a trip, several nails had chipped and broken, and within two days the product had lifted from nearly all of them. This cost me additional money and took time away from my vacation with my husband and family to have them redone. This was also very painful. As you can see in the photos, my nails broke quite far down when the product chipped off. Because I was out of town for an extended period and had commitments when I returned, I could not visit Nails Design until today. When I explained the situation, the manager repeatedly insisted I should have come back sooner, despite my explaining that was not possible. I received no apology and felt dismissed. After a lengthy discussion, the manager agreed to redo my nails at no charge. However, after the service, the technician told me I would receive only a 50% discount. I explained that this contradicted the manager's agreement and that I had accepted the pedicure only because my nails were to be redone for free. The technician honored the original agreement, and I paid a full tip for both services. Problems can happen in any business, but what matters is how they are handled. Rather than taking responsibility and apologizing, management repeatedly blamed me for not returning sooner. If you have had good experiences here, I am glad. However, I cannot recommend this salon. The poor workmanship, damage to my nails, and the manager's handling of the situation made this a frustrating experience from start to finish.

It's located next to Jelly Donuts. To be honest, the location isn't ideal because there's not a lot of parking. Luckily we found a spot. Upon arrival, it was noticeably busy. About three girls were waiting as walk-ins. I started my full set after about half an hour of waiting. I was a little disappointed because I wanted my friend to also be seen by a nail tech at the same time since we had the same appointment. The nail tech who helped me was John. He was really nice and polite to customers. He even gave me a short lesson about nails and acrylics. He's really good at what he does. Although, I do wish my set was a little shorter just to be more practical and makes doing daily activities easier. My set came out really nice though and he was pretty quick at doing so. Unfortunately, my friend didn't start until around 6:30. That's a pretty long wait time for having an appointment. Their prices are reasonable. Also, they offer a stamp card so you can get $5 off your set when you fill it up which I find really useful. Overall, their service was better than most nail shops. When an event comes up, I will most likely go back to them.

"Very bad business"…read more I am very disappointed with my experience at Nails Care in Vallejo. I have visited this salon twice, and unfortunately, the customer service was poor both times. During my most recent visit, I specifically requested a particular nail technician to perform my service. Instead of honoring my request or explaining why that technician was unavailable, the manager insisted that another employee do my nails. As a paying customer, I believe I should be able to request the technician I feel most comfortable with, especially when making an appointment or arriving with that expectation. If a requested technician is unavailable, staff should clearly communicate that information in advance whenever possible and offer customers the option to reschedule or choose another technician. The manager's attitude came across as unprofessional and dismissive, which made me feel like my preferences and concerns did not matter. Good customer service involves listening to customers, communicating respectfully, and making reasonable efforts to accommodate requests. Management could improve the customer experience by training staff to explain scheduling decisions politely, acknowledge customer concerns, and provide clear alternatives when requests cannot be met. Because this was my second negative experience at this salon, I do not plan to return. I hope management takes customer feedback seriously and works on improving communication and customer service. Establishing better appointment procedures, confirming technician requests ahead of time, and encouraging more respectful interactions with customers would go a long way toward rebuilding trust and improving overall satisfaction
