After 21 years of amazing haircuts by Mariola, I must tell the world! Am I ever the lucky one to…read morehave met Mariola all those many years ago. She was recommended to me by a friend and still today, I wouldn't even think to go to anyone else! I can count on Mariola to work her wizardry every time I come in for a cut. I remember her telling me one day, that each time she cuts my hair, it might be just a tad bit different. She looks at my face, the current length. She asks questions, even today...were the bangs too long last time? Do want this part shorter, etc? She takes to a haircut, the way an artist might take to a canvas and she enjoys the process. It may take a little longer to finish, but she's a perfectionist and I'm totally okay with that. The finished look is always bright and refreshing. She is up with trends, and yet knows all the classic styles as well. Being an artist myself, I let her do whatever she wants with my hair. She truly loves to create something great and she does, every time! My friends and family are still commenting on my cute haircut. I happily tell them, Mariola is still doing my hair! She's even able to work with gobs of white strands, making it look cool to be older and not coloring my hair. We joke about that...maybe someday I will. Also, Mariola is just a sweet, wonderful person. We chat about anything and everything and I always learn something from her. Thanks Mariola, for 21 years of great hair!!! If you're searching for your own refreshing new look, set-up an appt with Mariola!

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 came in as a walk-in without a real plan other than showing a picture of some color and going "hi! Can we do this?" And without hesitation, she agreed. As someone who's never done anything with her hair other than cut it, she explained exactly what was going to happen and walked me through every step. I would highly recommend this place (and I'm looking forward to coming back for a color touch up!) I did a sort of a dip-dye look and everyone keeps stopping me to compliment the color. It's been about a month since I've dyed it and it still makes me smile when I see my reflection :))

I went to get a haircut with Nina and I regret having haircut after getting it done…read more I wanted to get my hair trimmed and layered with V shape line. She did what I requested but the result is not satisfying rather dissapointing. Hair has been trimmed way too much - usually trimming and layering done in the inner layer of the hair, not outer layer but somehow she did both inner and outer which makes my hair look very messy. It was $85 total not including tips ($10 extra charge due heavy hair). If I could reverse time and decide whether or not to get a haircut, I wouldn't at least with Nina.

It's a cute salon. And the owner is very nice. Front desk staffer was also sweet. But reflecting…read moreback on how my appointment went, it wasn't what I had hoped. The girl who did my color just didn't do what I wanted. And I could hear her dismay when she pulled out my foils in the sink. I was left uncomfortably in the sink for about 30 minutes while she tried to discreetly consult with the owner about how to remedy the situation. The issue was I wanted to be blonde! I was there for a color correction. But instead of tipping out my ends, she just did regular highlights, leaving out the ends instead of foiling the whole length of the strands. The stylist seemed rushed because she hadn't allowed herself sufficient time for my appointment so at the end, my hair cut was rushed and not what I wanted. I did come in for a 10- minute appointment prior to my actual appointment for the stylist to meet me and find out what I wanted to do and honestly I should've known then it wasn't going to go well...she basically said there wouldn't be enough time for her to make me blonde in one appointment but that she would try? She would do her best...yikes...I made the appointment anyway hoping...but her lack of confidence in "having time" doing something that's pretty routine in most salons, should have been a red flag. Fast forward...I went to a different salon in Los Altos a couple months later and they did EXACTLY what I wanted. In a single appointment. No qualms. No issues. Did it take 6 hours? Yes. But the stylist had allotted the time, knowing it would be a long appointment. The problem at Therapy was the stylist essentially left me still looking brunette but with highlights. And that wasn't what I wanted. I still paid and gave a 15-20% tip and smiled and thanked them. Because I didn't look awful. I just didn't get the service I paid for. I tried to like my hair. But in the end I was disappointed. I thought I was going to have a flawless experience because it is an Aveda concept salon. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.

In any case, there's only one person whom I trust with: 1. Babylights or really fine highlights 2. Hair smoothening to remove the frizz. The toner or the gloss could be better. I go to a different salon in Saratoga for the babylights to be touched up properly with dark brown+gold toner sometimes. Because they always leave the highlights brassy looking here. It's unfortunately that I have a Part 1 (highlights) here and a Part 2 (toner/gloss) elsewhere but that's the way I prefer it.

And at least 4 to 5 times I told the lady that we wanted to keep his hair on the longer side. I'm not sure if there was a language barrier but she proceeded to chop my son's hair off way shorter than requested. We were all pretty unhappy with the final result.

I don't know if it's salon procedure or if the stylist was just skimping but I had brought my 4-year-old daughter in for her very first haircut, ever. Her hair was past her bottom and too long for us to manage. I convinced her it was going to be fun because someone was going to wash her hair and massage her head a little, give it a trim and a nice blow dry....ummm...not what happened. My babe never got her hair washed. Stylist just did a dry cut. And it was over in 20 minutes. $60?! Whoa. She didn't get a $60 experience. No hair wash or blow dry. Just a quick rough, dry cut. She was disappointed and so was I. We didn't say anything but reflecting back, I was shocked at being charged so much for so little service. It was $60 with tip. I'm assuming the salon sets a base price, not the stylist. Nevertheless, I take my daughter elsewhere where she gets the full salon experience. She's only 5 but she loves getting her hair washed and blown out.

Once I was done with the cut, Ben took over for color and really listened to me when I explained my vision. He asked thoughtful questions to get the clearest idea of what I wanted and even explained his process of how he would get us there. I felt confident in my choices and the end result was even better than I could have imagined.

Her guidance and wisdom made me much more confident in all of my decisions, and it was a warm feeling talking with her. If you ever need a haircut, color, or treatment, you are set to go.

She's efficient, but never rushed. The entire experience from wash to the final styling is seamless. I highly recommend Mindy to anyone (including guys who want a low-maintenance approach like I do) looking for a consistently great haircut. She's the reason I haven't even thought about looking elsewhere for over a decade.
