This time I asked for a little less foils as I am trying to do a lower maintenance blonde, and Bianca somehow made me feel blonde and fresh while maintaining the lived in look I wanted as well. The salon always feels clean and inviting, I appreciate how the young woman at the front desk greets me with a smile and I love seeing how friendly all the employees are with their clients and each other.

I got my hair cut here in January by Tricia and it was the worst haircut I've ever had. She cut…read moreaway 2 extra inches in a flat line in the front, making my hair seem like it had 2 shelves with no blend, made a big hole in the back of my hair, thinned the last inch out so much that it was just wisps and there was almost no hair left, and made my hair uneven in length. Worst of all, this was three months before my wedding, which I explained very clearly at the start of my haircut. Thankfully Essence Salon offered to schedule a free fix with Ellie. Ellie was fantastic. It took a lot of skill for her to walk back these mistakes while trying to keep my length. While she acknowledged that she couldn't get it perfect without taking off several inches, she was able to correct the worst offenses. My hair is feeling so much better coming into my wedding, and I look forward to working with her again in a few months to get a complete reset.

I've been on the hunt for a new hair stylist, and Grace is truly that girl! From the start, she…read morelistened carefully to every detail I shared and took the time to go through my inspiration photos with me, making sure we were on the same page before she even picked up the scissors. I originally booked this appointment last minute after another stylist canceled on me the day before a trip - and honestly, I'm so grateful that happened, because I would've never found Grace otherwise. Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who really knows what they're doing, actually listens, and creates an amazing overall experience.

After months and months of not being able to get my hair done due to Covid-19 restrictions,…read moreCalifornia finally re-opened salons {with very specific protocol} and I was anxious to book my appointment at Spruce. Since the salon is located in Downtown Redwood City, there will not be any free parking as everything is metered street parking - Bring some quarters. Spruce Salon is taking every Covid-19 precaution possible - Only a limited number of stylists are allowed to work at a time {with chairs more than 6 feet apart}, each stylist is only allow to service one client at a time, both the stylist and the client must wear a mask the entire time and a temperature check is given prior to entering the salon. All of these procedures made me feel super comfortable in being in a salon again. My husband has been going to Spruce for years for his haircuts and raved about Nicole, so I decided to give her a shot when going in for a full highlight and a haircut - I am beyond thrilled to have found Nicole - She is a Hair Genius! I am a very easy going person and my hair is the one thing that I can tend to get picky about so I usually go into a salon with several pictures of what I am looking for {and as someone who previously managed salons/spas for years and years, I know this can be a stylists nightmare} - Nicole was amazing and looked through all of my pictures and I put my trust in her to see my vision - She exceeded what I was looking for 10 fold! Not only is she a stellar stylist, but she is beyond friendly and really listens to the clients needs/wants. The pricing is very comparable to other salons in the area, and in my opinion, it was less than I was looking to spend for such a great experience. If you are in the market for a new do' - Nicole is your girl! She is in demand and books up fast so be sure to plan ahead.. it'll be worth your wait!

The best part about it is, I was lucky enough to get into the salon within 10 minutes! Lien was lovely to speak to. Not only did she listen to what I wanted done, she made sure to take care of me and make sure I have the best comforting experience. I tend to have specific needs and instructions when it comes to touching my hair... for example: * Cut an inch * No heat styling * No layering scissors * No pulling down with your sheers when cutting length off my curtain bangs And I can tell you this, she had no problem with that and made sure my experience at her salon was "5 star; top of the line". We got to know each other and talked about traveling, family, and her business. Lien has been in business for 15+ years and she looks amazing! What I adored the most was knowing her and her husband working together and I find myself in awe when it comes to healthy loving relationships like theirs. Thank you for the best healthiest hair experience! I'm definitely coming here again.
