So this is my 3rd time going to Darlene & I'm not sure why I never did a review ‍! She is always so…read moreresponsive, kind, & we have great conversation! The first time was in 2024 when I wanted some braids for Texas & she recommended crochet braids. I had such a cute, curly brown style that people adored. June 2026, I was going to be hitting heat & humidity again & we did a crochet style but longer & with waves at the end, once more I was pleased so I came back today to get a flatter box braid. On the way home at the store & then again when I stopped for lunch, I got so many compliments. Thank you again Miss Darlene for making my hair amazing!

Kelly knows her stuff! Look no further if you're like me and are experiencing hair thinning. I…read morecouldn't be more satisfied with my beautiful hair topper and Kelly's expertise and guidance. The color and style are a perfect match and now I look like me again! Her friendly but professional no-nonsense approach is so refreshing, especially after all the bad experiences I've had lately in trying to solve my thinning hair problem. I bought many toppers online claiming to be real hair, none of them worked, color was off, style was off and they are all in the garbage now! Then I went to another "hair loss specialist"salon also in San Mateo and was required to pay $100.00 for a consultation which was really about selling me extensions that are glued in and need redoing frequently at a hefty charge. This is after I clearly said I didn't want extensions. I was offered the option of buying a topper that would cost over $3k. There were no sample toppers in various styles to try on before sinking thousands of dollars site unseen and not returnable. The only samples there were to show color and all were long straight hair, no shorter styles, nothing curly. You'd basically need to special order it and fingers crossed, you like it because there are no returns. Why she couldn't have purchased some samples herself to have for potential customers to try before buy, I don't know..... I was also required to sign a legal contract before my consultation stating that I won't write a negative review, and allowing a photo release. And a bunch of other no-no's. All just to be ABLE to come in! None of this ridiculousness with Kelly though, just good products, displaying lots of sample styles and colors to try on and choose from. Great products, great service and prices that are literally HALF the cost of the other salon and fast too!, less than a week! I'll be a lifetime happy customer of Kelly Dinger!

Worst customer service, I tried to get a silk press from here but had to take my business elsewhere…read morebecause I was treated so rudely. I stated never mind because I didn't want to come anymore. Our conversation was 5 min. And the whole time was me trying to make an appointment but your assistant was disrespectful and making it very hard. She never greeted me or said I reached the salon she said "hello" and then "what do you want" after telling her what I wanted she told me I had to give her a specific dates and times and she will either approve or deny it, instead of telling me what was available like I asked. Despite her rude tone I never changed mine and If you would like to downplay what happened instead of addressing the issue in its entirety that shows even more about your customer service.
