I have been going to Armida at Salon Savvy for a few years now. I love it always great service.

Moving from the peninsula to East bay, I was in need of a hairdresser closer to where I reside. I came across Savvy Hair Salon and decided to give the salon a try. I requested an appointment on Yelp and Linda (the manager) immediately responded within several minutes. Due to the complexity of my request and being that I was a first-time customer, she set up an appointment so I could have a consultation with one of the hair stylists (Gia) before actually getting my hair done. The initial consultation was postponed to the following week and I spent 10 minutes with Gia to figure out the details on my balayage and peekaboo under layer highlights. She provided great feedback and recommendations on styling my hair. On the day of my actual appointment, Gia spent quality time on making sure my hair would end up with the best results (as I previously had silver hair which presented a slight challenge). I also requested to have my waist length hair trimmed as it was uneven and dry. After 5 hours, I was surprised and content with the outcome! I had the sun kissed caramel balayage with a reddish brown (turned out to be more rose gold) peekaboo under layer highlight. My hair was a little shorter than I expected, but I'm sure it'll grow back in no time. At least my hair is healthier and not as overprocessed as it was before! The price for this salon is a little pricier than I anticipated. The balayage starts at $200, but the price can dramatically increase by $100-$200 with additional lightener and hair dye (especially with long hair) and a hair cut. Overall, I'm content with Savvy Salon and would recommend it to anyone! read more

I went to Linda for the first time yesterday. I LOVE the color and cut! My daughter has been going to Linda for years, and she recommended her. I recommend her too! read more

Daniela is awesome and very sweet. I do recommend her for a cut and hair treatment. She is now my go to stylist in the bay area. Completely professional and focused in what she does. I will have to say the pricing is pricey and not what I am used to back In LA with my trusted stylist hence the less star. I will have to get used to it since now i live up here and cannot go to LA much anymore. Experience: I have been researching for a new stylist for months since moving up here and found Daniela through yelp. However, I hate to admit Bay area pricing is outrageous from what i am used too since I can get the same great hair cut and styling for half the price in LA. Anyways, the moment i met Daniela, she was open and friendly. She ease my nervousness of seeing a new stylist. I trusted her with my hair and i got soft, bouncy, and luscious new hair cut and do. She did not want to do much to it and complimented that my previous stylist did a great job with my hair. She help make my hair feel lighter and brought out the color from my previous stylist. She is amazing. Overall, I will return again. :) read more

Gia is an AMAZING hairstylist! I am so pleased with my hair and got tons of compliments on my new color. Gia took the time to look over colors to get the exact color I wanted. She also made me feel confident in the color we picked as well, which is very important. She was great to talk with and get to know, which is very important quality in a hairstylist! She has very good judgment and knowledge about the coloring process so the color turns out just right. Very knowledgeable about products and cuts as well. Most of all she wants you to be happy with the finished work! I highly recommend Gia's work at Savvy Salon! read more

- I have been going to Linda from Savvy Hair Salon for about 4 years. Linda is amazing. I definitely look forward to each appointment because she treats her clients as FAMILY. She's very knowledgeable, kind & honest. What more can you ask for really? Especially when it comes to your hair. And, from what I've read on yelp & have seen first hand when I am there --each stylists has similar qualities. You cannot go wrong getting an appointment here! I found Linda when my hair was in the worst it's ever been. I wasn't happy with the cut & color I received from my last experience (not Savvy Hair or Linda), I let it grow out & finally asked my friend for Linda's number. When I first saw Linda, till now present day, she was completely honest with how my hair would turn out. I always have inspo pictures to share but she lets me know what my hair can take & what it could turn out like. Since switching to Linda, I've had a range from dark hair to light/blonde hair. I feel like I definitely keep her on her toes. I always leave her salon refreshed & happy! Attached is my latest do :) read more

I don't understand why they have such high reviews on yelp. I've been here twice and both times something has gone wrong. First time, they overcharged me and later they said I would get a free hair cut if I get a toning. So, I went for toning. That was good, but haircut is absolutely not I what I asked for. I don't really know what to do with these fringes she has given me, after saying multiple times I don't want to cut a lot. Not going back again. read more

THANK YOU SO MUCH ALEX! My hair was a mess when I came in and let me tell you Alex was so patient and amazing! She talked me thru everything she was doing and I LOVE my hair and can't wait to go back to go lighter! Love coming here everyone is always so friendly :) see you guys soon! read more

I was looking for a place in Fremont for a hair cut and I'm so happy I stumbled upon Savvy - such a great place! The salon itself has a cozy feel with the exposed brick walls and is very clean. I came in for a hair cut with Linda and loved my experience. She was super warm, friendly, and attentive. I loved my haircut and she did exactly what I had asked for. She does get booked up, so call in advance! I'm so glad I found a new go-to salon for myself! read more

It's been a few months since I last checked in and I desperately needed a revamp! Alex brought my hair back to life and I couldn't be more happier. She always gives expert advice on hair and walks me though the process while providing hospitality. I trust her opinion 100% and all the stylists here know exactly what they're doing! read more

I went to get a hair cut yesterday the last time I was here was 3 years ago. I went to Alex and she did amazing, I had really long hair and cut it to about a little below my shoulder and I absolutely love it. Definitely will be going back to her. The reason I gave 3 stars was because of the receptionist greeting not sure if she is new or this was her first job but she was very timid and not very great with greeting clients myself included. So when walking in the atmosphere wasn't super welcoming. I think with a little training it can definitely be better but my hair experience was amazing Alex I will definitely go back to you. Update: I received a call from the owner and she explained in detail that this was not their receptionist, the fact that I got a call to me is beyond great customer service to make things right. So I have changed my rating to a 5. Thank you!! read more

Spontaneously decided to get a haircut and searched several different places on yelp, I stumbled upon this place. They had good reviews, so I decided to message them for an appointment. It was a Wednesday morning, and I was able to get an appointment at 1:30 that same afternoon! It's located in a small shopping center, and parking wasn't an issue. My appointment was with Gia. I wasn't 100% sure about what I wanted, all I knew was that I wanted to transform my thin/fine, dry, hard-to-manage hair into something that wasn't a complete nightmare to comb every morning lol. Gia was a total sweet heart and took the time to listen to my needs and concerns, and we ended up going with a layered cut. She was also a great conversationalist, even though I'm not lol. I definitely recommend this place (and Gia), and hope to return someday for some color! read more

I loooove Daniela! She is seriously the ómbre master!! I kid you not... she kills it every time her magic fingers touches my hair. She really listens to what you want and does exactly that... of course she keeps it real and let's you know what is actually doable. Not only is she a phenomenal stylist, she is an awesome person! I love coming in and chatting it up with her... we talk... crack jokes... an overall fun experience. I kid you not finding a good stylist is as hard, if not harder, than finding a good man... Which is why I want to keep her all to myself but sharing is caring... so for anyone searching for that killa stylist, I HIGHLY recommend her!!! read more

Studio Savvy - Ómbre with a BAM!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

Daniela is truly a hair genius. I have been to her twice now and both times I have left with such amazing beautiful hair. Yesterday I went in for an ombré and I let Daniela work her magic and it turned out beautiful. She is so creative and passionate about her work. When I was watching Daniela paint my ombré I could see the passion in her eyes. I absolutely love my ombré. The process for my hair took around 5 hours since I've never dyed my hair and I also have a lot of hair. Even it though it took around 5 hours, time flew by for me because Daniela is great with conversations and she also provided me with magazines to read. Another plus about Daniela was that she went out of her way to set up an area for me to pump. I highly recommend Daniela if you want beautiful hair, but book early because she gets filled up and it takes anywhere from 1-2 months to get an appointment. She is totally worth the wait. read more

I have been itching to have my hair re-done ever since I moved back to the bay from SD, but I was scared to find a new stylist. After one of my friends recommended Daniela from Savvy Salon, I was determined to get an appointment! After scheduling 2 months in advance, I finally got me hair done today and I am absolutely in love with it!!! I came to Daniela with a picture I saw off of Pinterest and I was afraid that she was not going to be able to get my hair that blonde since I was still growing out a perm (from a year ago) and I had an ombre from June. But I'm amazed by how well my hair turned out!! Daniela was super professional and offered suggestions about the cut and I'm very happy with the way my hair turned out! I can't stop looking at my hair and I already can't wait to come back for a next time when I decide to change up my hair! read more

Studio Savvy - Ombre by Daniela - Hair Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

Omg, Daniela is the bomb. the best. the please-just-take-all-my-moneys stylist I've been looking for for a very long time. I went in with a few photos and asked her which hairstyle she thought would look good with my facial structure. I wanted bangs but wasn't sure if it would work out for me. She suggested that it would be cute but warned me that I might not like it at first. I loved that she actually took the time to think about my question and really gave me her honest opinions. And, she was right, it is so cute! I didn't like it for about 5 minutes but then I fell in love with bangs. She also gave me her tips on how to take care of my hair and how to style my hair. I'm a minimalist girl when it comes to hair, so I loved that she didn't try to push a gazillion products to me and only recommended 1-2. I had such a good time with her, too! She's the sweetest and so easy to talk to. +1 for really knowing her stuff, and giving me the cutest haircut ever! +1 for honest opinion +1 for fantastic quick massage during shampoo +1 for best personality & for being oh-so-easy to talk to. +1 for free bang trim! :O Highly recommended! I can't say enough good things about her... and can't wait to see her again! read more

Studio Savvy - Daniela's the best! - Hair Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

Gia is a really skilled hairstylist - I love my layers! I've never seen anyone cut my hair with a single blade before, and she told me this was a good technique to get whispy layers for longer hair. My hair is really thick and straight and heavy, and she took tons of hair off without losing the length, and it feels so light and more voluminous than before. The salon itself is tucked in a small lot in PacCom so there's plenty of parking. I really like the inside of the salon either eh brick detail. Only thing I wish were better is the washing station - my neck was in a pretty uncomfortable position during the wash. But overall this place is great and service is definitely on point. read more

Joel is phenomenal! My hair stylist is from Daly City, i was not aware that she is takig her maternity leave this early. And that my nightmare begins... Frustrations and i felt hopeless if who i can turn to give a 100% satisfaction to trust my hair style. After a few weeks of Yelping... I stumbled upon Savvy Hair Salon and check it myself personally. Their receptionist was so friendly and very accommodating, the salon itself were pleasant that you already can assume this house could be a home of top notch hair stylist. Then, until it became a reality... JOEL is truly an angel in disguise.. I dont need to Drive 40 miles and get my haircut done. JOEL did a tremendous job! Definitely a Fan now! read more

Silver Ice Queen hair done by Raquelle! I am completely in love with hair! Silver hair is pretty hard to accomplish. It took 3 sessions because we didn't want my hair to fall out or stress out so we gave it time to heal. Which was completely fine! Because each time I had a different type of blonde the toner she used was an amazing color and never turned brassy (which for some reason my hair liked to show those red/ orange tones). Raquelle was super sweet, and very accommodating. she is super easy to talk to and is pretty open to ideas. She definitely gained a loyal customer. I will definitely refer her to my family and friends. So if you read this DON'T WAIT! BOOK HER!!!! YOU WONT BE SORRY! read more

Let me tell you all about a miracle worker by the name of LINDA! I was on the hunt for a new hair salon to switch to last December 2016, and man, I am so glad I stumbled upon this little gem of a place. I'd been growing tired of my boring, dry, dark brown hair and wanted to do something drastic and go lighter. After doing my research, I decided to book with Linda -- probably one of the better decisions I've ever made in my life. The minute I sat in the chair, my anxiety disappeared because of how comforting she was about the entire hair coloring process. Aside from being super warm and inviting, she's also honest about what she thinks would look best and doesn't sugarcoat anything. She ended up giving me the blonde hair I always wanted; I wasn't sure if I'd ever want to go back to being a brunette lol I went to her today wanting an ashier blonde and wanting to soften the dark tones in my hair. I initially didn't have an exact image of how I wanted my hair to turn out, but I trust her judgment so I wasn't worried whatsoever. Lo and behold, she made my hair the prettiest its ever been and I couldn't be happier!!! Linda is truly a talented hairstylist and just an amazing person in general. I can't thank her enough!!! read more

A friend referred me to Savvy and I couldn't be happier! I called and was able to schedule an appointment the following week. When I came in, I was greeted by a receptionist who brought me over to Amy. Amy was awesome! Not only was she knowledgable, and skillful, she was also really fantastic at communication. What she was able to do to my hair was remarkable! She assessed my hair, and gave a recommendation for me based on my hair type and my normal styling. Not only was she great at the cut and style, she gave my pointers on how to style it at home and which products would work well for the results I was hoping for. I continue to be happy with my cut and color! I recommend trying this place out! read more

Went to Savvy Salon for the first time and had the worst experience with Linda Vieira "the stylist" her unprofessionalism was off the record. I went to get a blowout, I ended up walking out on Linda because she did not delivered her skills on my hair. I repeatedly told her what I wanted more than 5 times. She continued talking and criticizing my hair instead of doing her job at this point my blood was boiling, I got up and told her how unprofessional she was and that she needed to work on her blowdrying skills . I have never been this upset and mad , I repeatedly had to tell her what I wanted but she wouldn't listen she would just keep talking over me which made me extremely frustrated , she wouldn't even blow dry it in sections she Just kept grabbing chunks of my hair and doing something I could of done by myself , I have never had Someone so a job so bad on me before ! I walked out of there looking like a monster . I would recommend everyone to save there money and not go with Linda Vieira ! #horrible #geturskillsright I don't even give it a one star !!!!! read more

Raquelle IS AMAAAAAAAAAAZING! I asked to keep my hair as long as possible, to cut about half to an inch no more and to layer my hair creating more volume. She worked her magic leaving my hair super smooth, shiny and healthy looking! During my appointment, checked in with the Receptionist and got seated to Raquelle's station right away. Shampooed and conditioned followed by a head massage. Raquelle is super friendly and informative. She'll teach you techniques to maintain your hair, how to achieve more volume and make curls last LONGER considering my hair DOES NOT HOLD CURL AT ALL. Definitely worth coming ! I'll definitely be back to dye my hair! read more

So I wanted a Cut , layers and color . I wanted a dark ombré with gold tips, my tips came out ash brown. After a day or two it looked green!! I really wasn't happy so they said they would fix it for free. Came back 2 weeks later and they used clarifying shampoo. Now my hair almost looks like one color, no blonde just thin thin streaks of honey and my tips are all plain brown with GREEN ! My hair color did NOT look blended at all! I asked for layers and my hair was still one length . Still frustrated .. will have to go somewhere else to get it fixed! Spent $325 with tip ! Went to studio 34 in San Jose,and got my hair fixed, they did a beautiful bayalage ombré , darkened my base, middle was honey with gold / platinum tips exactly what I wanted! Thk u Jackie from studio 34! It's harder to fix the problem . Hoping to get some of my money back . read more

This was my first time getting my hair colored, and I booked an appointment with Raquelle for a haircut and balayage based on photos I'd seen on Yelp. I honestly didn't know the difference between a balayage and an ombre and hadn't cut my hair in two years because of many terrible $20 haircuts when I was younger - but I've wanted to dye my hair for years and decided finally just to do it. I came in with a vague idea of what I wanted, and Raquelle was both honest and accommodating in helping me decide on a color and length. She also made sure we were on the same page during the process and gave me a lot of tips on hair care and styling. I came in during the afternoon on a Saturday, and she worked past closing to finish my hair. I am very happy with how subtle and natural the balayage looks, which is what I was hoping for, and it was also a great experience overall. Raquelle is really lovely, and everyone was very friendly and seemed very close and considerate of each other - good vibes all around. Raquelle made what felt like a slightly intimidating process very comfortable and was really great with giving me her honest opinions while integrating what I wanted and my concerns about my hair. read more

I never go out to cut my hair because I have a personal hair stylist I go to normally. I came here because of the reviews. I wasn't too picky (having guy hair) and was paired with Patricia. She was lovely and very courteous. She had moved here from down south and found out that she has been cutting hair for over 30 years! She asked me how I wanted everything and made sure I was happy throughout the whole process. I went for a slick back type of combover. I was surprised at what she was able to do. After we finished up she decided to style my hair because I had questions. She styled my hair better than I have ever done before in my life! Can I have you do my hair every morning!?!? Haha Patricia gave me some good tips and I do that every morning when I style my hair. Thank you Patricia. You've made me appreciate doing my hair every morning now! Was skeptical at first like i said, but I will definitely be coming back here again! They also serve you beverages! My first of many. Thank you for an awesome experience! read more

First off I'd like to say that the staff were all super friendly and the customer service was agreeable but overall I didn't leave happy with my hair. I came in asking for ombre bleaching to be done to my hair so I could apply my favorite hair color at home. I was assigned Evelyn and the appointment was comfortable and she was super nice but the ombre came out VERY choppy and a little higher than I wanted. When I left the appointment she told me that because it was raw hair once I applied the color to my hair the choppiness would go away. I paid my $150 and left. But once I applied my hair color at home it still looked choppy and terrible. I called her back and asked if she could help me out and changed my color back to brown because I just wasn't digging it. She said it would be $100 and I came in for the appointment and it went fine but when she rinsed my hair the shampoo got all over my face. Overall I was terribly disappointed that I paid $250 for damaged hair. At least this is the perspective I feel. The salon was very accommodating and lovely but the stylist wasn't matched for my needs. read more

My daughter's thick, lengthy, healthy hair is ruined beyond repair. She sat there for six hours and Michelle basically chemically damaged her hair ($300 later). She has 3-4 in wirey strands sticking out, it's so heartbreaking. My daughter refuses to cut of what's left of the damaged hair with the hope that it will grow out fast enough. I can send before and after pictures for those that need proof. What happened is whatever formula was applied basically broke off the strands and literally burned the hair. I can't believe she even sent my daughter home like that. I called back numerous times and almost 4 days (or so) later got a call back. My daughter went back for "treatment" 3 times, but that didn't even help. It's been a few months, and her hair has not changed one bit. You think they would take the initiative to make sure they treat her until it's close to healthy, NOT! Maybe we have to pay another $300!! I'm warning all you young ladies with beautiful hair - DON'T go get it ruined by this Salon. Unfortunately, my daughter (19 yrs old) was too shy to fight for her right, instead she cried herself to sleep. It's been a few months and taken me long enough to hold off on posting this review. What happened to my daughter's hair is devastating! THINK HARD before you go!!! read more
