Amati was my hairdresser. I was looking for someone I could use as a backup for when my hairdresser goes on vacation. I was so happy to find that she is a VERY talented and fun hairdresser! Also, the place has a really beautiful atmosphere and everyone is super friendly. I highly recommend this place! read more

Got the best blow out today! Will definitely be back. I loved the vibe in the salon and how friendly everyone is!

Jeannine did a beautiful job with my balayage. It was my first time working with her and she was so warm and kind, I felt like I have known her since forever. She was extremely professional and made sure I was satisfied through every step of my colouring process. Jeannine has magic in her hands . read more

I've been going to Jeannine for almost a decade and can't imagine going to anybody else. Jeannine is incredibly patient, intuitive, and talented. I used to send her a bunch of photos because I couldn't decide what I wanted. She knows I don't understand hair talk, so she asks me questions I can understand. Today, I don't even answer her questions. I just tell her I trust her. She understands what I like even though I am terrible at articulating it. When I'm feeling adventurous and want to do crazy colors, she does a phenomenal job with color. True story: Even my coworkers can see it over Zoom!! My hair always, always, always feels so refreshed, healthy, and strong after I see Jeannine. I go to get my hair done to look pretty but I also because Jeannine is so genuine, empathetic, and a great listener. I love the way I look and feel inside and out when I walk out of the salon. read more

The owner canceled then remade the appt and then after waiting almost a month to get my hair done with an appointment canceled the day before, in this business industry constancies is extremely important, although the first experience was great the second experience was disappointed and unprofessional. A salon must be dependable, if not then why make appointments in advance, found a great salon with professionalism and a precise calendar for which they have kept every appointment. If you had Covid then why were you at the Salon with a different customer, Please don't use the Covid to state you miss an appointments I accept that at the time Then you canceled again? And you canceled again, after waiting all that time then you referred me to another salon, Be honest you don't want to work with a client then don't make appointments and have them waiting over a month, the positive out all this is that thanks to your cancellations I found an outstanding stylist, I was not going to write all this but you responded with an untrue so I have to describe what happened. It's ok I move on to a better place. This is my experience with you. read more

I LOVE Jeannine. When I first started going to her i had this HORRIBLE mermaid, overly layered, bleach blonde hair-- it was AWFUL, like meth-head meets victoria secret horrible. I didn't like it, I do have good taste, it was just a slippery slope where my last hairstylist incrementally got worse and worse. My first appointment with Jeannine, she suggested making a change which I jumped at and each appointment since then I basically sit down and say "I'm tired, do whatever you want". I have this adorable short blonde blunt bob now that is AMAZING, I seriously love my hair-- and so does everyone else. Literally people come into stores and say "I saw you outside and had to come in and tell you how amazing your hair looks". I am not joking, this happens to me at least once a month it's hysterical (and very flattering). Besides being the best with hair shes also just so lovely. I really look forward to seeing her and chatting it up. I'm moving after having her do my hair for about 4 years and I literally am scared... Go see Jeannine-- you won't be sorry!!! read more

I have been on a years-long quest to find my East Bay hair person and finally I have found her. I have had countless variations of an a-line bob. I mean 20+ years of them. I've gotten them at cheap chains, at super expensive salons, and everywhere in between. Let me tell you: Jeannine just blew them all out of the water. This is the best haircut I have ever had. Jeannine just opened her own little shop. It's tucked away on Piedmont Ave. She is very kind and easy to talk to. She listened to what I wanted, had great suggestions, and an absolute artist's eye. I highly HIGHLY recommend her. read more

Jeannine is fantastic. Her salon is beautiful and was so welcoming to a new client. She did a wonderful job with my cut, was incredibly professional, and was lovely to talk to. So glad I found Sweetroots. Looking forward to coming back! read more

She did it again! She touched up my roots, covered the gray, gave me a beautiful ombré and a cut. This hair prompted a man to give me his number. read more

Absolutely loved my experience here at Sweetroots! My Stylist/ Cosmetologist: Brandi was amazing! I went in to get a silk blow out and ended up getting a really cute haircut afterwards. I have not had my hair straightened in almost 2 years and was a bit nervous having someone touch my hair as the last shop I went to left me with a bad experience. That was not the case here at all. My hair was bouncy, soft and silky. She took her time, answered my questions and was gentle on my hair the entire time. She cared about the health of my hair as well as my satisfaction. She was so sweet and welcoming. :) I will definitely be returning! The shop: The shop is very cute and warm, clean and posh. Also Jeannine? I apologize if I misspelled her name she was supper sweet and fun as well! Thank you Brandi for making my weekend :) I've received so many compliments on my hair. read more

Let me start by saying that Jeannine , is the best stylist and she love what she does. I told her I wanted to be a true blonde and she was able to achieve it without compromising my hair .

This was my first visit to Sweetroots. I selected based on other reviews, recommendations, and close proximity to my home. Jeannie and Adriel took care of me. We began with a consultation. Once Jeannie ensured I was comfortable with the plan, Adriel shampooed my hair. I got a cut by Jeannie, then both ladies dried and styled my hair. Both ladies made me feel welcome, comfortable, are very friendly, and skilled. I would be happy to entrust my hair care to either, and will very likely return. read more

Made an appointment with Jeannine on early Sat morning. She was there way before the appt time, thumps up for that! She takes her time listen to what I wanted and advised what is best for my hair type. Very friendly lady, clean salon and relaxing music. My hair came out fabulous, i could never ask for me. Definitely will come back! read more

I've also gone through many styles and colors over the years and I trust her with all of them. Plus she's fun to talk to. read more

I was referred to Jeannine by a coworker. As a transplant to the Bay Area, it has been difficult to replace my stylist back home. I have tried three different stylists in the past two years, and am happy to say I don't need to look anymore! I love my cut and color and have gotten so many compliments (even men have noticed). I recommend her to anyone in search of a permanent home for hair styling and a stylist who knows what she's doing and is just as pleasant as her work! read more

Love Jeannine! Spent a long time finding the right stylist -- she not only listens to my requests, but really tries to understand my end goal and helps steer me in the right direction, even if it's not how I expected to get there (and she's always right)! Also, so fun chatting throughout the visit. :) read more

I went to Jeannine for a cut and color and I love it! I had never colored my hair before and didn't know much about it. Jeannine was absolutely amazing, she educated me on different tones and patiently answered all of my questions. I'm in love with my hair color. I've received a ton of compliments and questions regarding where I got my hair done. I'm very picky about my hair as well and really reluctant to try new things because my hair is prone to breakage. She showed me blow drying and flat ironing techniques to help maintain healthy hair, she also recommended some products that my hair is loving. My hair is much less frizzy and full of body. I can continue to praise my experience with her, I wish I could give her 10 stars! read more

I've been getting my haircolor done by Jeannine for almost 5yrs and I can't recommend her enough. She's excellent, professional and just all around wonderful to work with. In fact Skye Salon in general is a great place. I always feel at home and beautiful when I leave. What more could you ask for! read more

Have been getting my hair cut from Jeannine for almost two years now, and I absolutely love her work! She always listens to what look I am going for, and also gives great suggestions. Love how my haircut is always modern, and up-to-date. I'm also using her for my wedding hair and makeup, and she did an amazing job on the trial! I am always so happy with her work, and she's very sweet and makes sure I am always 100% happy with it. If you are looking for a new hairdresser, go to Jeannine she never disappoints! read more

Jeannine totally "gets" hair & customer service. She always listens, offers ideas, and makes sure I'm comfortable, and then proceeds to do an awesome job with my hair. My hair is super thick with a strong wave, yet she handles it with ease and I leave Skye looking terrific. Highly recommended! read more

My favorite hair dresser ever and only one who can touch my hair! She always gets my color and cut sooooo perfect! Always so nice and very professional! She has helped my hair grow by keeping up with cuts. Even with coloring, it still grows! Jeannine is the best! read more

Jeannine is amazing! I've been going to her now for about 5 years and have followed her to three salons because she is that good. I get compliments on my hair a least one a week, and as a result I've referred her to at least 10 friends and they have all given her rave reviews as well. She is incredibly skilled and while she'll do whatever you want her to, if you're looking to get out of your hair rut and want to try something new she can do that too! She'll make on trend hair style suggestions, that will look good on you and help keep your style fresh and current. After at least 10 years of the same cut and color, she encouraged me to try a LOB (long bob) with balayage blond ombre highlights. And I love it!! Without fail, every time I get my hair done by Jeannine, I get at least 4 compliments that day. She will train you how to style your hair the way she does it, coaches you on the best hair products but never pushes you to buy anything. Her hair cuts and styles are not only awesome but they are the fastest I've ever experienced. I can get my hair colored, cut and styled and be out the door in around 1.5 hours. Amazing! She is also just a fun person to be around. I always look forward to my appointments with Jeannine and sincerely enjoy talking to her. She makes it a fun pampering experience. She is the most driven hair stylist I've met. She will accommodate your crazy schedules and meet you as early as 6am if you need it. Her pricing is very reasonable. In a nutshell I adore Jeannine and am so happy to have found her and will stay with her wherever she goes. If you are looking for a fresh stylist who really knows her trade give her a shot, you won't be disappointed! read more

Keratin treatment was a success. I decided to do this treatment before leaving on my trip. I have A LOT of hair which can get pretty wild & takes me about an hour to blow dry & hours to air dry. Well this girl was overwhelmed with excitment when it only took me 30min to blow dry ::happy dance::. I was able to now go explore the city frizz free thanks to my favorite hair stylist. I've been going to Jeannine for over 5yrs now and she's gotten me thru all my hair phases. From short hair to long hair. She brought me out of my adventurous purples and reds & now into my grown and sexy. All while never compromising the integrity of my hair. After all my bleaching and colors my hair has always stayed looking and feeling healthy and now frizz free as well. I love not having to think about what my next look should be because she knows exactly what looks best on me. So if your looking for someone with great style and who knows the best looks you should be rockin look no further you found your girl read more

When you're truly passionate and happy about your job, it truly shows. Jeannine loves what she does, and it clearly shows in the work she produces ! Not only is she very knowledgeable in everything she does, she reinsures and gives you an honest opinion on what she thinks of the decision you make for your hair. She always has full confidence when handling hair, which is why she is ALWAYS my go to when I have questions or concerns regarding my hair ! I've been going to Jeannine for 8+ years and she never seems to disappoint me ! Definitely recommend, whether it's coloring you want, or a simple haircut !! Thank you for making me beautiful all these years !! read more

Jeannine is the BEST!!! I met her a couple of years ago when she salvaged a haircut disaster... I'm an Aries, and it used to be that when I wanted a cut or color, I wanted it THAT DAY and would go wherever they could take me. Jeannine changed me, though... I started booking appointments in advance (a novel idea to me at the time) simply because she gives the BEST cuts (not pixie, though- don't even bother asking!) and color. She listens, gives expert advice, and always the most flattering outcomes. Which leads me to today.... I cheated. On Jeannine. My sister in law raved about her lady in Lafayette- cut and highlights for $120 and her hair is gorgeous. Well, TWO trips to Lafayette, 5 hours in the chair, and yet another hair DISASTER (I'll add pics when I get them), I texted Jeannine from the parking lot of the Lafayette salon to beg her to squeeze me in. She and I (and the stylist next to her) laughed (I actually almost cried- NOT from laughter), and she not only SAVED MY ASS, but made me look and feel beautiful!!! I PROMISE FROM HERE ON OUT... I WILL NOT CHEAT ON JEANNINE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! lol. But for reals. And, she's hella gorgeous, and will chat when/how much YOU want to, and let silence pass with grace if that's what you want. I LUV her. AND the salon is great... they do nails, massage, makeup, etc. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment!!! xoxo read more

I love coming to Mio to see Jeannine. I've been coming to Mio since late 2013, but I was hesistent to make an appointment this year in Feb after an orangey ombre balayage I received in 2014. I decided to give Jeannine a shot. I've had 3 sessions with her and I'm finally the ashy blonde ombre I've been hoping for! My hair has so much dimension, and her cut is extremely flattering. She also makes each experience so comforting and fun, as if shes one of my girls! I loved all of her recommendations shes given me, from parting my hair down the middle to the products she tells me to get. They smell amazing and feel great on my hair. As long as I'm in the bay, I will be going to her for all my hair needs. read more

I discovered Jeanine 3 1/2 years ago through the recommendation of my colleagues. She does both my cut and color and always keeps me in style - whether my mood is long or short. Having good communication with your stylist is one of the more important factors in my opinion. I often can't describe in words what my desire is (or I'll use the wrong words to describe what I want!) That's where Jeanine has shined above all the rest. She "knows" me and can make suggestions using her judgment. I think it's from the confidence that we both have in her skills and technique that makes the ride such an enjoyable one. No matter what, I always come out of there looking great! read more

Sweetroots salon is the best there is! I'm obsessed with the incredible space: so well appointed, modern and inviting. The owner Jeannine is incredibly gifted in all things hair. She knows how to cater her styling to your specific needs regardless of hair type and you leave feeling like a million dollars. Don't delay, book an appt for any type of hair treatment you need. You'll come back again and again. Brilliant job and brilliant new space, Jeannine! read more

Jeanine is a delightful person who is an absolute artist with my hair. When I first went to her a year ago, I wore a middle-aged bob that she trimmed and shaped beautifully. But in the summer I was ready for a super short style. Jeanine "read" my hair and face shape and gave me the cutest pixie cut. I absolutely adore it and get compliments all the time. The real test was that it even grows out very nicely, maintaining its shape. Its a pleasure to spend time with Jeanine and I always float out the the shop walking on air because I feel and look my best! read more

Jeannine is AMAZINGGGGGGGG! She's been doing my hair for the last 5 years and I recommend her to everyone! Color, cut, style! She makes sure you love it and will do anything to achieve what you want. You will not be disappointed! :) read more

Jeannine is amazing! Probably one of the best blowouts I've ever gotten. She also made me feel super comfortable and I genuinely enjoyed chatting with her. read more
