Had such a great experience with Vika! Her studio is so cute and cozy inside. The overall vibe + the holiday decorations were so aesthetically pleasing and added to the full experience, I felt immersed in Vika's service and could tell right away she put a lot of passion into what she does! She made me feel listened to and excited, and she introduced me to some clean, natural hair care that I still need to go back and purchase from her! I took a short paper survey so she had some insight to my hair history and goals, showed her some photos and explained what I wanted, and she got right to work. I felt super comfy in her chair while she washed my hair, products smelled amazing and made my hair SO soft, she introduced me to a GHD wet to dry brush I also need to purchase now lol, and she gave me the BEST haircut I've ever had. It was exactly what I was looking for and more - I couldn't believe it was actually my hair! I made sure to book my three month appointment with her and am very excited about being a loyal client here. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair and I'm so incredibly happy with it! read more

Vika is great. Admittedly, my hair needs as a guy are very simple. Still, a cozy little studio and her treatment create safe and comfortable environment. read more

I am so glad I found The Hide Away! Victoria is amazing and so sweet! I love how there is dedicated time in the appointment to go over exactly the hair cut you want. My biggest concern is usually not cutting it too short since I'm trying to grow it out. My haircut looks great and she still kept it long :) Highly recommend! read more

Victoria is Amazing!! She Listens to Every Word You Say About How You Want Your Hair to Look and How Your Hair Makes You Feel. I Wanted to Keep My Long Hair but I Wanted an Updated Comfortable Style. She Gave Me Exactly What I Wanted and Needed! I Have Been Waiting for My Silver Hair to Come Alive and Show Itself!! Victoria Made That Happen For Me!! My Daughter and My Guy Both Asked if We Added Color or Shine. It Was Fun to Just Say No, Just My Regular Cut!! The Way That Victoria Cuts My Hair Just Shows It Off!! I Cannot Say Enough Positive Things About Victoria and The Hide Away. I Highly Recommend! Go to Victoria and Prepare to be Amazed! read more

I recently booked a haircut with Vika for the first time, and she is AMAZING! She's knowledgeable and takes the time to get to know your hair type and goals. She has a very gentle touch (which I love) when caring for your hair, and her "spa-like" salon provides the most incredible escape when searching for a bit of serenity. I'm happy I found her and look forward to seeing her at my next appointment. read more

Vika is very sweet and does a great job with my daughter's and my haircuts. Every appointment is like a mini-spa break - so relaxing!

I can't wait for my upcoming haircut this week and I can't believe it took me this long to share this review! Victoria made my "thankful for" list this year :) After trying out endless hair salons in the bay area, Victoria stood out as an exceptionally knowledgeable and holistic hair expert. She gathers information about lifestyle, background etc before she does her magic and caters to the specific needs of each person's hair demands. I was in postpartum (hair loss phase) when I first visited Victoria but I've been getting endless compliments and requests for hair shampoo and conditioner I am using because my hair looks as healthy as ever. If you're still considering The Hide Away, don't think twice, you're in good hands :) read more

Best colorist ever! Great atmosphere and Vika is the sweetest! I get a lot of compliments on my hair.

I have been getting my hair cut and colored with Victoria for a few years now. Every hair cut has been great! The Hide Away is especially hijab-friendly. There is complete privacy for anyone who needs it. If you wear the hijab and are in need of a new salon, this is your place to go. I would definitely and highly recommend Victoria and her services! read more

I love going to see Vika! Its like going to my own personal spa because she only takes one guest at a time.

I recently got a few beaded rows of extensions by Vika and have never got so many compliments on my hair then I do today! I love them. Can't wait to see you next month Vika! read more

Color Correction Treatment! I started using box hair color from Madison Reed back in 2018. I had never colored my hair myself prior but I was trying to save money and thought, "it can't be THAT hard". My hair was forgiving enough for the first year and then covid happened. I was already doing cuts and color myself so I kept doing it (read previous post). I continued until I found Victoria, she gave me an amazing hair cut but I couldn't really see all the beautiful layers because my hair was SO DARK. The box color said it would be a light brown but my hair eventually became dark and red!? I really did not like my hair anymore. I felt it aged me and made me look tired. I completely trusted her and decided I can invest in her fixing the mess I had made with the DIY hair color-in-a-box. SHE FIXED MY HAIR!! It took all day but my hair is healthy, and I LOVE the color! I was concerned with my hair being damaged by lightening but Victoria knows how the chemical reactions will work on hair and how to make sure the hair stays healthy. I am SO FREAKING HAPPY! I look like I used to when I was younger and now the plan is to blend in my grays every 8-12 weeks instead of doing root touch ups every 4 weeks. Victoria, I promise never to use box hair dye again. Thank you so much for your time, talent and kindness. Thank you for making my hair beautiful :) read more

Love my new style and healthier hair! I had a consultation with Vika, and she asked me some questions about my hair and taught me some things about hair that I didn't know. She is very knowledgeable and compassionate about her craft. She took all the information from the consult and gave me just what I wanted and what my hair NEEDED. We are still working on some issues I have with my hair, but I am confident I'm in good hands. If that isn't enough, Vika is just a lovely young lady. She's a joy to talk with and makes sure you feel comfortable while you're there. I also left with a couple more artists to add to my Playlist. read more

I had my hair done by Victoria about 2 months ago. (I can't believe it took me so long to review.) I loved the whole experience and my hair! First the experience was great! After just meeting her I felt like I could trust her with my hair and could tell she knew what I like and wanted. My hair is perfect! From day one I was getting compliments and I still am about the color, 2 months later! read more

You're in good hands at The Hide Away. Just got my second cut and color done by Victoria and it turned out great she is very detailed at getting you what you're looking for in a hairstyle. She was able to use better products on my hair that left it feeling like it retained its integrity and was still soft. For the cut I really like long hair but I don't have a lot of volume, Victoria was able to change the way the layers were added to give me that fuller look and still have length. The salon is very covid friendly because it's an individual room, it has a very cool relaxed vibe with cute little cacti decor. Overall happy I came across this salon when I moved to the area. read more

I found this little gem while searching yelp late at night. Vika was amazing! Between having a baby and being busy with work, I hadn't had my hair cut in about a year. She took the time to listen and asked questions about how I typically wear my hair. I didn't really have an idea about how I wanted her to cut it, other than I needed it shorter and thinner because it was giving me headaches. She gave me a suggestion that I loved and she was SOOOOO meticulous while she cut it. My hair is typically a combination of curly and frizzy so it can be hard to cut, but she did such a great job. Thank you!! read more

I was very nervous to get my haircut, but Victoria was so sweet, friendly, and professional. I loved her ambiance lighting during my hair wash and appreciated her attention to detail when cutting my hair. She reassured my comfort level and liking of the haircut. I was very happy with my haircut as it ended up exactly how I wanted! read more

I got my hair done around a year ago and Victoria was very nice and professional. I had originally asked for a partial balayage and showed her a picture of my inspo. She had me in for consult knowing what I had wanted was a partial balayage. Later on, when we texted she suggested a full highlight which wasn't what I wanted. When I went in, I reminded her what I wanted done she said we should do a full balayage. I reluctantly agreed thinking that my hair would be similar to the picture I showed her. Almost 7 hours later, my hair had looked almost the same compared to what I first had when I walked in. My goal was to lighten it but after toner, it was extremely orange and I had asked her to tone it again, which she agreed to. My hair then was dark again after the tone but at least it wasn't as orange. The next day I had it curled and it seemed fine. After my first wash (meaning my hair would've been straight again,) I could see that the color was uneven, splotchy, and brassy. Although her work looks good on herself and others, I wouldn't recommend those with dark hair to go to her. I just had wished she would've been honest with me with the results I would've gotten. read more

I found Vicky's lovely salon thru a simple Google Search. Immediately I was drawn to the fact that she owns her private suite. As a woman dealing with hair thinning and hair loss, the idea of me going to a salon with multiple chairs in it make it's unsettling as I am overly aware of the hair issue I have. Vicky not only made me feel comfortable and seen about my issue but she gave me so much knowledge and advice on how to maintain the hair I already have and make it as healthy as can be. she introduced me to the Kevin Murphy hair brand and gave me step by step tutorials on how to use these in order for me to maximize the benefit of these products. I appreciate that she took her time with me when it came to sharing her knowledge and cutting my hair. It was my first time with a haircut experience this memorable. If you are looking for someone who has knowledge, skills, and great customer service. Vicky will be the one to check all of those boxes! She will absolutely impress you read more

This salon is COVID ready. Single person appointments. I had The salon was to myself and felt so related. It was a spa day. Nika saw me the same day I contacted her. Reasonable prices. She even stepped out while my hair was in highlights or color so I could take my mask off to eat. Loved the ambiance and lighting she had when she washed my hair. Wonderful experience. Cant wait for my next appointment. Thank you again. read more

Back story: I have tortured my hair. Over at least the last four years I've been box dying. It all went well... until it didn't. I switched up colors and went with a redder tone. When I hated it, I went black. There was no escape from the black dye. I was stuck. Another hair dresser told me my best option was to grow it out. (My hair is long). I tried root dying my roots a lighter brown. It got worse and worse. I booked a consult with Vika and she created a plan in detail for me. I didn't know if I could believe it. Worst case scenario we have to chop a bunch off and I guess I dye over the top of it. At my appointment I told her I was nervous, she reassured me she was not and got to work. I must say she's so kind I eventually relaxed. (Still pretty confident there was no fixing the mess I created). When she started coloring my brain kept racing to wondering how bad the banding would be. As the color started revealing itself I sat in utter silence. I'm sure she was wondering what was wrong. When I could finally form words, the first word was "How?" Lol. How did you do this? She's a miracle worker. Other hair dressers that wouldn't touch it. She completely transformed it to a beautiful head of hair. It's been a few days before I wrote this because I feel like I'm still waiting for some color to wash out and something to reveal itself... I can't believe this is my hair. Vika, I promise to never box dye again. You are a rockstar. I love that we also have a go forward plan on blending grays etc. you not only listen to your clients, but the amount of care and dedication you put into this appointment was unmatched. Thank you soooo much. read more

I have been going to The Hide Away for over a year now for haircuts and they are truly perfect. I absolutely love how much time is taken and the result is always exactly what I wanted. Communication is excellent, the space is relaxing, and as a bonus she turned me on to an air dry cream that is life-changing. It's the only salon product I've ever purchased that actually worked as advertised. Highly recommend! read more

What a wonderful experience! Vika was thoughtful and artistic in her work with my hair today. She made me comfortable from the very beginning, and worked with me to realize a significant change in style. Her salon space was great, her demeanor welcoming, and she was so knowledgeable and attentive to every detail. I couldn't ask for a better stylist, and look forward to returning soon. Thank you Vika! read more

I decided to try Victoria for my haircut based on the reviews I read about her here on Yelp. And she did not disappoint!! I told her the issues I had with my hair and she addressed each one and cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it.

I came to Victoria with postpartum hair looking for a nice and new haircut and blow dry. I had a great experience with her. First of all she was very kind and listened to me patiently about what I was looking for. Her hair products were very gentle and the entire hair wash process with calm ambience was very therapeutic. She gave me an excellent hair cut and the blow dry was flawless. I highly recommend Victoria and would love to go back to her for my next haircut or blow dry. read more

Victoria is wonderful! I love my highlights and haircut! She did an amazing job. Finally found another hairstylist!

She's very good at listening to what you want and she's also good at making sure your hair cut/color suits you if you don't know what you want. She turned my naturally blonde and mismanaged hair into this deep red healthy masterpiece. She will not disappoint! read more

Vika cares about your hair health, and she'll make you look really good too. The Experience: First we talked about what I want for my hair and the issues I'm having with it. She incorporates that into the products she uses throughout the session, like my dry scalp and oily hair. She really takes her time and focused on you, and she doesn't have a one-size-fits-all approach. In fact, she used a mousse she liked a lot for others, then when she saw it wasn't working for my hair type, she chose to re-wash my hair and use different product. She changed the shampoos she used, which I ended up buying because of how incredibly clean my hair felt afterwards. In the end, I walked out of The Hideaway with a verified miracle: ruler straight heavy hair transformed into curls that had more bounce than a trampoline. And they held up beautifully the next day and stayed wavy! They weren't hard and my hair was so soft and healthy looking, that day and the next. The Space: The Hideaway is functional and beautiful. It's a very clean, single salon with space for a friend or two if you want extra company, so during Covid that is a real comfort. If you're fully vaccinated, you can take off your mask, but Vika keeps hers on for safety. When Vika washes your hair, she changes the lighting and sets your feet on a little pouf... it's adorable and you should experience it for yourself! The Cosmetologist: Vika (Vee-kah, short for Victoria) has great customer service. She's very sweet! She's also a great teacher. I didn't grow up knowing much about hair and makeup, so I asked if Vika could teach me to curl my own hair. She spent the time to walk me through types of curlers, blow dryers, the process overall, then how to physically style the hair. She's a lady on a budget too, so she doesn't always recommend the most expensive product, and she knows how to make the chemicals work for you in a budget-friendly way. Products: The Hideaway uses Kevin Murphy products (effective, environmentally friendly, diverse, affordable), and Vika will give you the real real for your hair: use this one a little more and you don't need the second one, and if you don't like this brand, here are three others that know what they're doing, and these are the ingredients that work. She really knows her stuff, even outside of her preferred brand. A lot of the products she sells are around the $30 mark for full-size bottles, and she doesn't pressure you into buying them. Overall a great experience, and now I can curl my own hair and keep it healthy too. read more

So, like many I took to my own hair experiments. I ended up with uneven hair color. Itchy scalp. I got a hold of Ms. Vika and I'm very glad I did. Not only did she even out the color she just revived the health of my scalp with her washes. The products she uses are amazing. And I just overall appreciated the fairness in price and the upfront aspect of her. Definitely give her a call the next time you wish to do something with your hair! read more
