The Krome studio is amazing! Greg has done it once again for my daughter and I. We drive 2 hours just to get seen and cared for by him. He uses an amazing dry-cutting technique that gives us the results we not only love but keep us coming back! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent customer service and Krome is simply the best. He loves to work with you to bring out the style or color that you want.

I went in after months of totally neglecting my hair. It was dead and gross, and Greg (the owner) seriously brought it back to life! He gave me an awesome cut without taking too much off, which was super impressive. My hair feels so much healthier now. Plus, he's hilarious and has such great energy. Fun, upbeat, and just made the whole experience great. Highly recommend! read more

Love this place, Krome really knows his stuff! I have long hair that he does perfectly. read more

This review is for Jeff the tattoo artist. We had an awesome experience with Jeff. He was professional, very skilled, very patient and genuinely a nice guy. I loved that he offered us an appointment at the last minute and made it happen! My sister was going in for her 1st tattoo and we were all excited! We did matching tattoos and it was just a simple typewriter font of our mother's name. Very clean lines and it came out so nice! Jeff was so kind that he even let my daughter who was hanging around for support get a tattoo as well. Best part it was painless! In fact--I found to be very therapeutic?! Placement was under the chin. He has a "light hand", very gentle. Jeff understands safety, sterile technique and was very safe and clean during the entire procedure. I watched the guy prep, he is careful and very thoughtful-I felt cared for like how I would take care of my own patients. To me, that is everything! He was not in a rush, took his time. Made me feel comfortable. We all agreed that we would all come back again! Book your appointment y'all! You won't regret it. Thank you Jeff! read more

I just got another incredible haircut from Greg at the new location: which is now in the Rossmoor shopping center and across from Wells Fargo. Its one of the suites that's part of Salons by JC. Super easy to find & tons of parking. Not only that but the inside of the salon suites has lots of amenities if you have to wait: comfortable seating, tea, coffee, water, etc. It's a smaller space but the perfect size because there is only one hairdresser at any time. They arrange the booking that way, so it was just Greg and me and plenty of space, and he had all his usual tools and accoutrements. So basically everything was the same except a different location the same high quality haircut for a low price and now Mandy does the booking separately so you call or text the number and she will set you up. Once again I'm satisfied and relieved that the Krome studio is up and running !!! read more

I called on Saturday morning, and got the same day appointment with Jon who was real nice and the first tattoo got done by him. It look him a little over 90 mins for the whole process and I walked out with my tattoo. read more

Greg is a great guy and does a wonderful job cutting my hair and trimming my beard. He is also very easy to talk to

If I could give this angelic space more stars, I would. From my magician of a hair stylist, Chloe, to the oh so sweet owner, Greg. I spent majority of my Friday there so needless to say, I was able to get a good vibe of the studio. The energy was so welcoming and calm, Greg was so genuine and kind, Chloe was a perfect angel. Now look, I haven't even gotten to the hair part of the this lovely day. My hair OMG I can't stop staring at myself. Chloe, God must've spent a little more time on her and her creativity because she is a hair guru/chemist/genius all in one. Greg, I love you and I just met you LOL. Thank you for brightening up my life and literally my hair The Krome Studio read more

The Krome Studio - Before/after - Hair Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

My previous, long-time stylist announced her retirement during the pandemic closures, so once salons were able to reopen, I needed to search for a new stylist. The Krome Studio was very prompt in making an appt for me, even though I wasn't a previous client. They were adhering to the safety guidelines currently in place: I saw that everyone inside was wearing masks (stylists also wore gloves), my temperature was taken, and I was offered hand sanitizer. The overall appearance of the studio was very clean and cared for. My stylist, Greg, was very personable and made me feel at ease being in a new salon. I described what I wanted done with leaving the length but cleaning up my grown-out layers. He knew exactly what I wanted and never tried to change my mind. In the end, I am SO pleased with the outcome! I believe I've found my new stylist and salon, and can't wait to go back to see what they can do with color! :D read more

COVID19 Review I've been getting both my hair and my son's hair cut at the Krome Studio for some time and very much looked forward to its reopening. I wanted to write this review to highlight some of the safety measures the salon has taken to keep its customers safe. When both my son and I entered the salon, we were asked to sanitize our hands and they also took our temperature as well. And of course face masks are required. Each station is cordoned off in a way that you're not sharing the space with another customer with a hand sanitizing dispenser at each station for your use. It was explained to me that each of the stations are sanitized before and after a customer uses it and that each cape is used once per customer and then laundered at the end of the day. I was happy with the safety protocols put in place by the salon and felt very safe for both myself and my son to get our hair cuts there! read more

I knew that I wanted my next hairstyle to be a mohawk, but didn't know where exactly to go. My previous alternative hairstyles (including a mohawk a few years ago) had been done by a stylist in Campbell, but I didn't see her name on the salon's website. So, knowing I was going to have to take a risk with a new stylist, I decided to stick a little bit closer to home. After research and yelp reviews, I came across Krome Studio and decided to give them a chance. I am so very glad I did! I called and set up my appointment with the incredibly helpful receptionist who, after I described what I wanted, paired me up with a stylist she thought would be a good match. I went in and found out my stylist was Krome, the owner himself. I immediately felt a good vibe coming from him and was happy to see that he was rather excited when I showed him the example of the style I wanted. During the appointment, he was incredibly personable while still working professionally and showing off his skills. And the end result is exactly what I wanted -- a fun mohawk with room to shape and mess with however I'd like. While I'm not one of those people who goes to the salon as often as they should for upkeep, I will absolutely be returning to Krome after the growing out process to see what else he can do with a pair of scissors. read more

Jeff is amazing! He's super patient, knowledgeable, and fun to talk to! I can tell he's very intentional about his work and the clients he takes care of. I had tattoos done at other places, but Jeff is definitely my favorite tattoo artist! Being genuinely cared for makes the experience. The shop is also very clean and welcoming! So happy I came here! read more

Jeff did an amazing job on my tattoo. He was thorough and super professional. I appreciated his attention to detail. He is extremely knowledgeable about his craft which definitely put me at ease. The studio itself is clean and welcoming. Everyone who works there is so kind. They were able to fit me in Jeff's schedule and were quick to respond to my inquiries. I will definitely be returning! read more

I don't usually like to leave reviews, but after coming here and getting my hair done, I knew I had to! This was my first time here and Mary did my hair. She was sweet and amazing! I needed a hair cut & my bleached hair to be re-bleached and fixed. I also wanted to make the color lighter (I wanted an ashy blonde). She did exactly what I wanted and it came out amazing!! She gave me advice on how to treat my hair as well, and even told me about particular products that would help. I purchased a purple shampoo from them to help keep the blonde from going brassy. Also, she got the job done in a timely manner & the pricing was such a great deal. A few days after my appointment, Mary gave me a call and left me a voice message saying she had an idea for my hair color. Unfortunately, I was out of town in a mountain area with no connection, so I didn't see her message until I got back. My point here is that I have never had any stylist follow up with me & give me an idea for my hair - so this really made me happy. This just shows how caring and thoughtful she is! :) Everyone else who worked there was friendly, sweet, and welcoming. Krome was super helpful and very outgoing! Even the lady working the front desk was super nice! I really love this place and will definitely be back. It's nice to have a stylist & place that you can trust so well. If you're thinking about trying this place out - DO IT! I promise you, you will leave with a smile on your face, just like I did. read more

Greg is amazing! Totally open to what you want to do, and he will make it happen. Current shop is small so it's private, very chill and flexible hours. Use the Fresha app and book your appointment yourself, if you want. I've been going there for over a year and will not go anywhere else. read more

If keeping yourself well groomed is important to you, then you should go here. I've been going to Greg for years and what I appreciate about his service is the consistent quality and receptivity to my styling ideas. I'm the guy that brings in pictures on my phone of hairstyles I'd like to have and shows them to the barber. He's always willing to make it work. Exceptional value and service here. read more

It was my first time going to this location and when I walked in, the place looked wonderful. Very clean. they have a nice lounge room too with complementary drinks. Terri was my stylist and she did a fantastic job, my hair dye came out so vibrant and she was so knowledgeable about hair. She was very kind and a great conversationalist too. I'll be going back frequently and recommending this place to my friends :). read more

Super grateful they were able to fit me in pretty last minute for styling before I went into the city with my husband for our anniversary. I didn't have any great vision for what I wanted, just something fancier than I could do myself and the stylist used her creative powers to give me a nice up-do. read more

Took my 3 year old for his haircut. We were worried he wouldn't sit still but Greg made him feel totally comfortable. My son absolutely loved his cut and we did too! Everyone at the studio is super friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back. read more

I've been looking for a great "bob style" master for a while next to my house (have been going to the same person for more then 20 years in San Francisco , and he is great!) for the convince. Finally , after reading good amount of reviews on "next Door" app about Mary ,I decided to make an appt. I don't regret at all!!! Mary is great, and she did exactly what I was looking for! Thank you, Mary! I guess I found the artist who can do my hair the way I like! read more

Greg has been cutting my hair for a while now and I keep coming back because he gets it right every time and actually seems to understand what I want done. He's updating the place to so it feels more open and inviting, which it needed. Definitely recommend and will keep coming back. Bonus for the fact that I can grab some good Mexican food nextdoor or a good sandwich around the corner. I keep trying to get him to put in an ordering window from his place to the Mexican place nextdoor. Maybe if enough people ask he will! Lol read more

I got a tattoo here today and was quite nervous going into it because it is a hair salon and most of the reviews I read were about hair. I am so extremely happy that I decided to go with my gut and come here. They have one tattoo artist and he is amazing! He not only did and amazing job on my tattoo but listened to everything thing I said I wanted and made me feel comfortable the whole time. If you live in the Bay Area I highly suggest coming here. I will never go to Zebras again because they are shit compared to this place! read more

This is a very long awaited review. This review is for GREG aka The Krome!!!! He is an awesome person and a professional. I have done a lot of keratin treatments till date but this one at The Krome Studio was the best!!! It's been two months now and my hair still looks like the keratin was done yesterday. He explained all the steps before and throughout the process and he was extremely patient throughout the treatment and didn't rush it at all. Also he is a certified professional for keratin treatments. The haircut I received was awesome too!!! I just explained what look I wanted and he did a perfect hairstyle for me. I would recommend this studio and can't wait to go again. Thank you so much KROME!!! read more

Love talking with Greg. Very informative and always interested in your points of view. Clean place. Upscale environment.

He does high quality styling and a great person as well. Worth the drive to the new location.

I had my first visit to Krome Studio and Greg did a super job of styling my hair. The place is very clean and well organized. My only negative comment is that the music is too loud. I will be back again and I hope to quieter music!! read more

Teri my stylist at Krome Studio gave me a new look today and I love it! Sometimes you just have to go for it. Went with a short pixie cut. Decided to go to my natural color. Haven't seen it in 50 years. Wow...I'm so happy with it. Thank you Teri, terrific cut! read more

Mary is an amazing hair stylist. She does a great job on my daughter's hair and she is patient, sweet, very knowledgeable and helpful. She will work with you around your schedule and just makes you feel welcome. My daughter feels confident after she gets her hair done by Mary. Thank you Mary :-) read more

I went to The Krome Studio last Sunday to have my eyebrows done. It a new service that finally was able to open. Jeff the artist was so professional and great at attenion to deals, from what you were expecting and checking with me about medicines I was on that make might have isues for him to be aware of. Example I take blood thinners, so he was ready for me to possibly be a bleeder. Is explanation of what was going to go on put me completely at ease. It was truly a comfortable experience. I highly recommend Jeff ! I think a tattoo is next on my list. read more

Marc is AMAZING. I admittedly was bummed when my usual hairstylist based in SF had to shut down because of COVID. My hair needed a major touch up after several months but I'm so reluctant to try new stylists because I'm very particular about my hair color. I was nervous to try someone new but when I walked into this place and met Marc, I felt instantly at home. He has such a great soul and really takes the time to understand what you're looking for. I was surprised that he was so excited to work on my hair and help me reach my goals based on a photo I showed him. He did an amazing job and I will continue seeing Marc from here on out. He's SUCH a talented colorist. I also want to say that everyone in this salon was so friendly and kind. It truly felt like family. Thank you!!!! read more

Great service! Great haircut! Great environment! Greg is an expert at his craft and very friendly! Five stars I will be back every time.

Krome Studio's newest location is in such a nice little part of the Saranap area! Super close to Saint Marys College, Las Lomas, WCI, and a few other schools in the area. I would highly recommend booking an appointment with Krome himself as he listens to all the needs you want for you haircut. He always perfects his haircuts to the customers liking and to his liking. It is always a blast to chat with him and never once has there been an awkward silence moment you get with first time hair stylists/barbers. Before you go and try to find a different place I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving Krome Studio's a shot! read more

Finally! Found a stylist that was on the same page as me. I had gone to the same stylist for 6 years before she passed unexpectedly. I'd been searching for a new stylist for the past 2 years and I feel like Kiana at Krome studio may be it. I have her a general idea of what I was looking for and she did awesome. The cut is clean and textured how I like, plus it's fun to play with. Thank you! read more
