Highly inappropriate conversation and uneven haircut…read more I recently visited Social Salon and unfortunately had an incredibly uncomfortable experience. Within the first three minutes, my stylist was using profanity and discussing graphic, sensitive topics (specifically a reality show scene involving sexual assault). As a client, I found it completely unprofessional to have to redirect the conversation away from such disturbing topics. To make matters worse, the haircut itself is visibly uneven--one side is noticeably longer than the other (as seen in the photo). I called to speak with the manager/owner to explain why I wouldn't be returning for a 'fix.' While she was apologetic and did issue a refund, she repeatedly tried to book a 'next appointment' and 'put a note in my file' for the future. It felt like my concerns about the stylist's conduct weren't fully heard; a refund is appreciated, but it doesn't excuse an environment that feels unsafe or unprofessional. I will be taking my business elsewhere to have the length corrected.

Last night, 7:45pm, my devastated child came home with the absolutely worst ever haircut- we just…read morecouldn't believe our eyes, and there were so many tears! He just wanted it shorter around the ear- how could that be misunderstood??? It was a true emergency, because there was no way I would let my child go through the humiliation of going to school the next day like that. It was really THAT bad! I started dialing and hoping some kind person would understand and help us, but who would ever take someone after 8pm, and that was IF we could get someone to answer our call at 7:50pm. That is when i called Like salon, and this angel named Tracy answered and listened to our situation. It takes a very kind person to decide to help total strangers who were asking her to stay past closing time and take a brand new client, and that is the person Tracy is. We've all had a bad haircut at least once in our lives, but this was far worse, and it would take a very experienced person to somehow salvage what was left of my child's hair, and cut it into something that looked at least like a normal haircut. We knew it would mean having to cut all the gorgeous locks off that took over a year to grow, but seriously, there was no other way. Still, Tracy was able to transform a nightmare into a dream, and while the long hair was gone, the end result was a very smart style that will grow out well. It is quite attractive, and while my child was still inconsolable over losing all that hair, what a life saver Tracy was, and I can only imagine how gorgeous my child's hair will be as we continue to see her to shape it while it grows out again. So heart warming to find a kind, empathetic human being l, and what incredible luck we had in finding her. Thank you Tracy!

If you are looking for a color specialist, Jennifer is your girl…read more I had finally embraced my grays and wanted to go grey. As someone with black box dye, many salons turned me away but not Jennifer. She was so excited to jump into this journey with me. She was so knowledgeable and has a passion for her craft. She made me feel comfortable and her excitement made me excited too! I knew that getting where I wanted to be was going to be a process but this was something I was ready to do with her. Every session got better and better and I know thatt hair was in great hands with her. The location of the shop was in a very cute area and parking is always a breeze there. The shop had such a cute and cozy vibe. Go make an appointment with Jennifer!

For one, he gives an amazing scalp massage- I was practically falling asleep. The salon wash station was so fancy and comfortable because you can lay down all the way. Loiy walked me through each step during my service so i knew what to expect. The oribe products he used smelled soo good! The blowout itself was quick and looked so good! I was so relaxed, I felt like I could fall asleep in the chair too. Exactly what I was looking for and a great pick me up. I will definitely see Loiy again next time I'm in the area!

Service Requested: Women's haircut with Hudy…read more Quality: 5/5 - I arrived 20 minutes early (I was totally fine waiting until my appointment time) but Hudy saw me almost immediately :D - The hair washing service was sooooo good. Hudy gave me an amazing head massage, and all the tension from the day melted away. Also the chair and neck was super comfy :) - I asked for long layers with face framing pieces. And to keep as much of the length if possible, but fine with cutting as needed to get rid of dead ends. Hudy 100% met my needs. My hair looked so healthy and happy at the end. Vibe: very nice salon, not too busy when I visited on a Friday afternoon. It was my first time getting a haircut by myself I usually go with my mom. So I was a little nervous. Hudy was really nice and caring, made me feel very comfortable. I've been looking for a salon in Palo Alto and I will definitely return for haircuts or blowouts in the future!

I have been a loyal client of this salon for many years. Since my regular stylist is on vacation, I…read morewas scheduled to see Sue, whom I have never met. I live an hour and a half away, and while I was almost at the salon, Rebecca at the front deskcalled to say they were running 15 minutes late--with zero apology. When I pointed out the double standard regarding their strict late policy for clients, Rebecca took on an incredibly empowered and condescending attitude. She told me that 'with my attitude' the stylist wouldn't want to see me, and she hung up on me. When I called back, she claimed she had now spoken to Sue and that Sue refused to see me, but they conveniently tried to 'bait and switch' me to a different appointment. It is appalling that a front-desk employee feels entitled to gatekeep and insult a long-term customer before they've even met the stylist. Because of this ego-driven behavior, I spent three hours on a round-trip commute for absolutely nothing. I refused the second appointment because I will not give my business to a place that treats loyalty with such blatant disrespect.
