I went to Talin, and she did an amazing job. I absolutely loved the result! Talin truly understands curly hair and gave me a beautiful new shape that still looks amazing even a week later. I'm so happy with how easy it has been to style and how great my curls look. The atmosphere at the salon was warm, welcoming, and relaxing. I also visited the day before Mother's Day, and they had such a thoughtful surprise for all women clients. We had free mocha and delicious cookies. It was such a sweet touch and made the whole experience feel extra special. Everything was perfect, and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much, Talin, from the bottom of my heart!

My hair is actually longer now than it's ever been in my adult life, which I never thought would be possible. katie is incredibly skilled with blonde color--she gets the tone just right every time without causing damage or breakage.

Avital Beauty Lounge is located in downtown Walnut Creek. I was unfortunately late for both my trial hair appointment and the wedding day appointment, BUT they were very accommodating and reassured me that they would still take care of me. I even asked if they have a makeup artist in case mine flaked to which they would be more than happy to assist with also. Thankfully I didn't need the backup makeup artist, but it was nice to have that option. Thank you Mojy for taking the time to help me with my hair for the wedding. It truly fit with my wedding dress.

If you're looking for a color master for your hair, look no further than Sari at Salon Avalon. He…read moreis truly the best and has a really good eye for color and style. Because I have had bleached hair (as an Asian) for a while, I have visited several hair salons for color and he is definitely the best, has an eye for colors that would pair well with your face, passionate about his craft, and takes a lot of pride in his work. I can't imagine someone being unhappy with the results. He even has a lot of before and after photos in his phone, where you can see a lot of really cool color jobs that he has done, in case you don't believe me. Everyone was very sweet and the salon was nice and clean! I would recommend Sari again!

I booked my appointment the night before because I suddenly had the strong urge to get a haircut…read more My hair had been looking dull and dry, and I really wanted to get rid of the dead ends. Even though it was a bit spontaneous, I'm so glad I went. Elena was really sweet, welcoming, and pleasant to work with. The whole experience felt very collaborative. She immediately understood what I wanted--at one point, I just made a curtain bangs-like motion with my hands and she got it right away. She also took the time to study the reference picture I brought and asked how closely I wanted to follow it. She checked in about the length, whether I wanted it shorter, and suggested soft layers so the cut would not look flat. I really appreciated how she adjusted the haircut to fit me while still keeping the overall look I wanted. The soft layers framed my face beautifully, and my hair looks so much healthier now. I had such a good experience and would definitely recommend Elena.

Gabby is super friendly, easy to talk to, and made me feel comfortable. She knew exactly what I was asking for and completely delivered! I couldn't be happier with how my hair turned out.

She was also very attentive with the integrity of my hair, which is something I let her know was important to me during our initial consultation. She made sure to take great care of my hair. This was my first time at this salon, and I will absolutely be back! Thanks again queen!!

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.

Her technique weaves colors around your natural hair so as it grows out it still look great. I could go 10 to 12 weeks. I always asked why can't I just do all over color. She would tell me you won't be happy. You will see the grow out right away. Well she let me do it. It's been 4 weeks and I feel like I needed to freshen up a week ago. Well next time I see her, we will come up with a plan to transition back to low maintenance. Over time I am even thinking of transitioning to no color just to see.

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!
