After a curl lesson from Denae
Yesenia F.

Took my teen to get curl lessons in Feb 2022 and wow did we learn a lot of curly hair techniques. This became our go to for my teens hair cuts. The cut at a different spot before we found the curl studio was a pretty bad cut experience but Denae was so amazing asking as she cut my kids hair to make sure she did the exact cut my kid wanted. The only person who has cut my kids hair since we found The Curl Studio. Always pleased with the cuts. Thank you Denae!!

Denae is the first stylist to ever give me CONFIDENCE in my curls. I first went to her for a curly cut, immediately fell in love with my hair & quickly scheduled a follow up appointment with her for a balayage treatment. All my curly girls know how difficult it can be to find someone who knows exactly how to manage our hair. Not only did she do such a gorgeous job with my cut & color, but throughout the process, recommended products and styling techniques that would be perfect for my hair. I haven't had a bad hair day since!! I'm confident in saying I've found finally found a stylist that I completely trust with my hair. Thank you so much, Denae! Check her out & book now!! Her studio is also gorgeous & such a vibe!! Made me feel like I was on vacay!

I had my first curly cut from Denae in October and my curls are thriving. She trimmed my hair while still maintaining a lot of the length. She talked me through how she was styling it which made it easy to replicate in my every day life and I loved the Curl Smith products she introduced me to. I think my exact words when she finished my cut were "and I thought my curls looked good before". She definitely worked some magic and I can't wait to go back for my next trim.

Day 3 hair, no refresh! Literally pulled my pony tail out and snapped the pic to send to Denae.

I got my first cut and color this week and I'm so happy with the it. Denae is passionate about her work and I love that I get to support a female entrepreneur! Curlies, wavies and in between, go see her!

I recently received a Rezo cut by Nubia here in San Francisco and was blown away. Then came my research to find a certified Rezo stylist. I was so happy to find Denae and so close to where I live. She is extremely knowledgeable and I felt so confident in her skills. Once done I was so happy. I came for a root touch up. But she rocked. Not only in the touch up, but she is the first curl stylist who knew how. I didn't need to go home and refresh. I highly recommend Denae. You won't be sorry.

What are the costs for curly cut and highlights? I checked their website but no costs are listed.

Hi Lisa! All prices are listed online you just need to select the service to see the pricing. In addition to pricing you will see the description of the service.

Hi there, I was wondering if you cut kids hair and if so, how much do you charge? I have a 4 year old with great curls but needs a trim.…

Before seeing Denae, I flew all the way to LA to see a super popular stylist, but that experience was the complete opposite.

I have thick Asian hair, so cutting it can be difficult and time‑consuming. Jee is amazing. She…read morelistened to my requests and concerns, and made sure I understood everything she was doing. Jee also has a genuinely friendly personality. I'm already looking forward to my hair growing out so I can have her cut it again. The staff and owner of the salon are also very friendly, and I feel like I can trust them with my hair as well. Overall, my experience has been wonderful, and I can't wait to come back.

I had really long hair down to my hips, I went in for a trim and some short layers since my hair…read morewas really think, I made it clear I wanted to keep as much length as possible but just get rid of some dead ends and I wanted the bottom thinned out. I also had bangs that were slightly uneven so I asked her to fix that. The lady who cut my hair asked if I wanted I blow out, I told her no, I wanted to walk out with wet hair to see how it would dry naturally since that's what I do regularly. She was apprehensive but I was firm that drying naturally was what I wanted and that I didn't want to the appointment to take longer due to drying. She cut a good 8 inches off, the left and right sides were different lengths, the layers were super choppy, random, and uneven. The ends were not thinned out how I wanted and she didn't touch my bangs. At the end she said "I know you didn't want a blow out but I'm going to do it anyway" literally. She curled the ends and when I left I noticed the ends were uneven. I don't know if she curled them thinking I wouldn't notice but it was hard to miss. I was really sad to lose that much of my length since it took me so long to grow out and I wasn't expecting to get it cut, only a trim which by the way was $90 (partly because the cut was an hour and drying was another whole hour so I had to pay for 2 hours even though I didn't want the blow out) but I went back in because it was too bad to wear in public and this was less than a week before Christmas. I went back in, I told her my hair was really choppy, she said "well you asked for layers" I told her "but this isn't layers this is random pieces of different length, there are longer pieces on top of shorter pieces. She got really defensive and said I kept "moving my head." No I didn't and even if that had been true blaming the customer is just a really bad way to run a business when I'm just asking it to get fixed. I told her I wanted my bangs fixed as well and because they were uneven, she said "you came in like that" I told her "I know but I wanted you to fix them" during this argument the manager came in and had me sit down, he told me they could fix it and had another girl start working on my layers, he said that he would take care of the bangs. The Second Lady working on my hair in my opinion was really rude, she pointed out some grey hairs and I said "I know I have more of them in other places" she said "how old are you?" I told her 25 and she made a face that seemed extremely judgmental. I also notice while she was cutting my hair, she held the scissors and comb in the same hand and while combing my hair I saw her accidentally cut pieces an inch away from my scalp and I felt the scissors tug as I saw her wave LONG pieces of hair away multiple times. She also kept commenting on how thick and tangly my hair was which felt insulting. As I was in there the second time, TWO other customers came in separately saying they were coming back because they had issues with how their hair had been done, the manager didn't respond with "ok let's fix it" even when I noticed the customer wasn't trying to argue they were willing to pay more they just wanted more done, but the manager was very defensive about explaining "this is how it's done" blah blah blah when in my opinion it would have been better to say "what you asked for is ____ this is what we did but if you want more than that would be ____ it will cost more to get you want you want but we can definitely do that if that's what you want". By the time I was done I had been in there for over 2 hours just with the second time I went. I didn't have any layers when I left they basically just cut my length to the shortest piece the first girl left me with which made my ends sprawl out since I had really thick hair and my hair was about boob length now, my bangs had more heft but I didn't like the way they framed my face, to be honest I just wanted to get out of there, I had clearly made a huge mistake going back. When you go to a hair stylist, make sure you go to a place where you know they will LISTEN to what you want, not do some random stuff or get defensive when you asked for something different. I didn't take a picture of my hair after the second appointment, the length wasn't badly cut it just wasn't what I asked for, not thinned or layered at all, and like 13 inches shorter than what I wanted, I've had it cut since then by a hair stylist who LISTENS to what you ask for.

The stylist I saw has since left this salon…read more Originally I emailed Sixteen Eighty Eight through Yelp with my formula and they confirmed they were able to do it, which was great news since I've had trouble finding someone who can follow my formula in Walnut Creek. They matched me with a stylist and I came in on a particularly cold rainy day. The first issue I noted was that they didn't use heat to process, which my formula calls for. Although I've had other salons use wet heat to treat, using no heat was unusual. Beyond that, I noted the stylist would make comments where the tone sounded friendly, but the words like, "your hair is so long, do you ever cut it," were a bit rude. By the end of the visit it was clear she didn't particularly like me, but my hair looked fine under the lighting, so I tipped well and left. What followed has literally never happened to me in the four years I've gotten full root coverage. The color leeched out of my hair - as in, within a few days, all coverage was gone. I don't know what she used, but after a week it didn't look like I'd gotten my hair done at all - my best guess is that because she didn't use heat, it didn't process correctly. I just don't know. I've sat on this review trying to decide how I feel about it, but I definitely always now confirm my formula has to be processed with heat and I've gone back to my old salon in Berkeley even though it's a bit of a drive.

Kristen is my absolute favorite stylist I've ever worked with! My hair is naturally curly and fine…read more I wanted to lighten my hair, and Kristen did an amazing job getting my super dark brown hair lighter over sessions while working to keep my fragile hair as strong as possible. I decided the light hair wasn't for me and she helped me go back to my natural dark hair. She does amazing work and is a super fun person. She is honest and makes sure I don't do anything crazy to my hair (like not cutting it too short ;) whew!). I love working with Kristen. If you have the chance to have her as your stylist consider yourself very lucky! (Sidenote: Her head massages during the shampoo are next level). I look forward to every visit. She's the best! The salon is so cozy, clean, and a lovely atmosphere. People are so kind and everything operates efficiently. Always super easy scheduling appointments and the text reminder a day or two before my appointment are so helpful too. I'm a type A person with super high standards. I'd choose this salon again and again. Thank you Kristen!
