Still going to Nicole and still walk out loving my hair. She's moved, I've moved - I tried other…read moreplaces during those moves, but I kept coming back. So now she's stuck with me! It's also a perk knowing the extra education and training she has done since I first started seeing her until now and the quality of her service shows. She is currently in a private salon of just her and it is very comfortable and welcoming (the snacks and drinks she keeps on hand for her clients are a nice treat.) Oh - I can't forget the full stock of hair products is a convenient perk, too. I've also found her prices to be fair with the going rate these days. I could go on and on about my positive experience with Nicole, but it's just words. I would definitely recommend her!

My 15-year-old daughter made an appointment for color and was contacted beforehand via text to…read morediscuss what she wanted. She explained that she was looking for highlights and a trim. She was told they would finalize the details when she arrived. At the appointment, they discussed highlights and a cut -- nothing beyond that. After about 2.5 hours, I texted her to check in because the appointment seemed unusually long. She said she was still mid-service. I asked her to confirm the total cost, and she was told it would be calculated at the end, which was concerning since no pricing had been clearly discussed beforehand. At checkout, she was charged: * "Full custom color" - $450 * Haircut - $120 * Clarifying treatment - $45 * Toner - $100 * "Convenience fee" - $25 Total: $740. She went in expecting highlights and a trim. There was no clear communication about upgraded services or pricing during the appointment, and no transparency about the total until checkout. We reached out to the salon afterwards to try to reason with her and explain she took advantage of a teenager. She would not accept any responsibility. Regardless of the quality of the work, charging a minor $740 without clearly outlining pricing in advance feels inappropriate and unprofessional. Make sure when getting your hair done here you ask for an exact price before starting service.

I reached out to get my black hair colored to a vibrant color and was met with friendly and…read moreprofessional service all the way through. Cassandra returned my initial message and recommended Milan as a great fit to do my hair. They offer complimentary 30 min consultations where you can chat and go through photos with the stylist about what you want. My hair was previously colored, so they also took a test strand to see if my hair would lighten the way they expected. Milan reached out to me after testing and indicated we likely wouldn't be able to achieve the original color I wanted (blue) as my test strand didn't lighten enough, but recommended a vibrant purple instead with some photo references. I really appreciated that they provide this consultation, because it saves both parties the disappointment when the color doesn't come out as expected after hours of working on it. Once you're ready to go, you can make a booking on their website -- Milan let me know the type of service & how long to book for. Each stylist's pricing by the hour is listed clearly on their site (and when making an appointment), and is inclusive of all services, so there's no surprises fees at checkout (additional fee applies if paying by card, but they take zelle/check/cash too). The actual blonding & coloring process took exactly the time that Milan quoted me. She was super friendly and professional the entire process, as were the other staff members in the salon that day, making sure I had water or something to drink. The color came out super well and I'm still loving it. Milan also kindly followed up with some maintenance tips to keep the color vibrant for longer. I have also been getting compliments on my hair from various folks and I can't thank Milan enough for the great experience and awesome hair color I walked out with. Definitely consider House of Blonde for your hair needs -- they definitely know how to work with all kinds of hair and get you the look you want. Will definitely be back the next time my hair is due for a new shade ;)

I recently moved from SF to Mountain View and the service I received was frankly even better than many of the other high end salons I've visited. I received a full set of highlights from Brianna and she did an amazing job! It looked super natural and I exactly like the pictures I brought in. I'm not sure how she managed to work her magic and make my hair ashy brown like I've always wanted, but I am super impressed! I would definitely recommend her and the salon. I'll be going back for a haircut soon. The front desk team was super friendly and nice. They made me a dirty soda too, which was super yummy! The atmosphere was busy for a Friday morning and the music was fun. So excited to have found a great place in the South Bay! Easy to park and turn it into a full day with brunch or lunch in downtown Campbell.

This was my first visit to Curls Hair Salon and my first time having my hair cut dry ("little nervous" is an understatement). Marcella and team were patient, paid close attention to detail, and took their time with both the cut and style. The result? My hair is curlier, holds its shape longer, and feels much easier to manage. Yes, the service is on the expensive side, but I was told I likely won't need another cut for up to ~9 months -- which makes the price comparable to other Los Gatos salons where I was going every 3-4 months. Overall, a great experience and worth it for the quality and longevity of the cut.

Never used a diffuser, I was put under the dryer for a couple hours, which flattened my curls and made me so warm I needed a break for water.

There's so much to look at from the wall of products to the screen on the side playing super helpful tips and product recommendations. Gissell is not only incredibly talented in the craft of curly cuts but she is such a sweet person in general. I felt comfortable sharing past experiences as well as what I wanted this time. She listened to each and every concern I had and every step of the way made sure I was happy with the outcome. The curly cut I chose had wash and style in it and wow that conditioner massage was too good! She let me know all the products she was using on my hair as well as giving me tips on how to style my hair and what products to use at home!! Which I so appreciated because taking care of curly hair is hard! I've gotten a curly cut before and it was nowhere near this good. I will certainly be back and I can't wait to hang out with Gissell again in a couple months!

After finding the salon on TikTok and seeing that they specialize in curly hair, I booked an appt…read moreonline. I was really excited for the appt. The salon has an attractive atmosphere and they offered me a menu of drinks when I arrived, which I thought was a nice touch. I requested a trim. My curly hair is longish and I was hoping not lose too much length, as it took me so long to grow. I just wanted to polish it up a bit. I booked with Alona after seeing her work online, and she gave a consultation. She said because my hair is uneven lengths in the back, she'd have to cut a substantial amount of hair, bringing it to bob length to make it even. I explained no, I don't want to cut it that short, and I don't mind if it's not fully even, just trim the split ends and keep as much length as you can. She said no, that's not an option. Then I asked if she can think a little bit out of the box and accommodate my request? She said no. She went to check with management and came back saying no. I was forced to leave the salon without getting a haircut, as the stylists were unwilling to work with me, without cutting off a significant portion of my hair (a third, but it would look like half, as curly hair bounces up and looks shorter). The owner was nice about it, but personally I feel the lack of flexibility here is not right. I know that what I was asking was a normal request (she said maybe it feels like a normal request to you...!) , and it could be done, maybe not exactly how they would wanted it to be -- but a haircut. But they refused because they are "curly hair specialists" and rigid in their systems. I thought their knowledge of curly hair would allow them to be creative enough to help. But they didn't want to. I left feeling on the verge of tears, it was a very frustrating experience. I never imagined any salon would refuse to cut my hair. In the owner's response to my review she misrepresents what happened. Not cool. None of my hair is at bob length, it would be if it were to be cut as the stylist was suggesting. Some of it is a little shorter than longer parts but it's not that drastic. I also clearly told the stylist that I was open to it being a bit uneven. I asked the salon to be flexible and that is what my review reflected. This could been an opportunity for the salon owner to consider if perhaps her salon wants to take a more client-centered approach. Instead she decided to discredit me in her response and lie about what happened. Really a bummer. Updating to one star.

I have been seeing Linda for over 10 years and followed her from her previous salon. I drive from the East Bay to Saratoga just to go to Lotus Salon. That's how long I've known her and trusted her amazing talent, skills, & staff. Now she owns this salon and I couldn't be more proud and happy for her success. Her staff are all beautiful, service oriented, highly skilled, excellent at customer service, and professional! From the moment you walk in, they have a curated playlist that fits the modern vibe of the salon. They offer you drinks and even wine or champagne! Which is a plus. The salon has a nice, clean vibe, & cozy feel. Right in downtown Saratoga. When I first met Linda, I had some brassy dry hair and needed a new-do and self care. I looked at yelp reviews and wanted to try Linda. She immediately recommended me to go with a darker color and use some hair products to strengthen and get my hair back to a healthier state. I loved the dark new look and how much softer and healthier my hair was. Then 9 months later, I decided to get highlights for the summer. Linda did such an amazing job with my color and highlights. I received so many compliments. Until this day, I alter between having darker low lights during the fall/winter then highlights in the spring/summer seasons. Each time I have an appointment, I trust Linda's expertise on her assessment and care with whatever my hair care needs are. I come out feeling and looking beautiful than when I came in. She uses excellent and quality products too. For some people, it may be pricey, but you get what you pay for when it comes quality work. If you're not satisfied, she will recommend what's best for you and fix it. I love her honesty. Linda has also trained so many staff who want to move up in the cosmetology/hair industry and have succeeded. Linda and her staff keep up with the latest trends, styles, & technique which is awesome. I see so many other hair stylists there who also have a lot of clients. I highly recommend this salon if you want to look amazing and get quality self care. Thank you so much Linda for everything you do! You are truly a talented stylist and the best hair dresser in the world!
