Day-of haircut with Manilito, my natural hair texture!
Allyssa B.

I'm so happy with my haircut I got with Manilito! I have super thick hair with a lot of wave/texture that I had previously just gotten trimmed with no layers or anything, and I was ready to finally get a nicer haircut. I called to explain and get a stylist recommendation, since you have to choose a stylist when you book online, and they set me up for an appointment with Manilito for just the next week. Manilito was so friendly and kind, and I had a great experience with him cutting my hair! I told him that I wanted a low-maintenance, shorter haircut with layers, and he did an awesome job of giving suggestions, creating my vision, and giving me a super cool haircut. He cut it and made sure I was happy with it, then showed me how to easily style my hair at home, even showing me how it would look air-dried because that is my usual routine. He made me feel really comfortable, not in a rush, and I could ask a lot of questions about my hair and just chat too. In the past, I've tended to avoid layers because I didn't know how to make them work with my hair texture, but it felt great for Manilito to understand my hair and show me how to take care of it. I'm really happy with my decision to finally pay a little more for a haircut. I would definitely recommend Manilito to anyone, especially if you're feeling inexperienced/frustrated about your hair type like me. My other note is to arrive with plenty of time to park if you aren't familiar with the area! My appointment was on Wednesday at 11am, and it took me probably 20-30 minutes to find a spot and get in.

Cut, color, extensions by Atsuko

After attempting to bleach my own hair, I came into Veer & Wander looking for extensions to replace all the hair I lost. The salon is tucked away in an alley - a modern haven amidst a somewhat sketchy neighborhood. I sat down in Atsuko Kajita's chair for a consultation and was really surprised by how reasonable the prices are! I booked her in advance right away (her bookings get full very quickly!) and placed an order for my extensions so they can arrive to the salon in time to be installed by Atsuko. Veer & Wander uses Secret of Medusa extensions which are pricey but high quality and can be reused 3-4 times. I've seen Atsuko twice now (with a third appointment coming up) and I always get my roots bleached/toned, a subtle blue put into the roots, and my extensions reinstalled. The whole process takes about 3 hours and Atsuko is really patient and detail-oriented. One time my appointment was long and she ended up having to stay after closing time to finish my hair which was super nice of her. She's also always asking me if I need something to drink or if I'm too cold (she has a heater she places in front of her customers). In fact, all the employees in this salon seem to be really friendly - I don't think I've had a bad conversation with anybody here. On top of this, the interior of the salon is very nicely decorated with classy items and comforting smells. The floor plan is interesting because it features different levels, so it doesn't feel cramped when I'm getting my hair done. The overall salon experience is really great. Veer & Wander does a lot of hair cutting / coloring / bleaching services so I'm not sure why these are not explicitly listed out on Yelp.

Connie cut my hair and from a few vague descriptions involving words like "choppy" and "textured" she gave me a look that I never imagined my hair could achieve without blow-drying or a perm! I went in with very long, very straight typical Asian hair without much volume and walked out with a modern, textured shoulder length hairdo. I didn't realize my hair could look like this with just some salt water spray and strategic tousling! I love the vibe of the salon as well, and Connie was wonderful to chat with. I will definitely be back when it's time for my next haircut.

Haircut by Cassie Brunelli
Christopher L.

As a preface, I hate getting my hair cut. I get anxious and usually end up going to some $10 place to just get the most generic cut or I let my hair grow out and do a little trim myself every month or so. Veer&Wander made me change my mind (for now, at least). The price was more reasonable than most of the salons in the area for the level of service I received. I was given an excellent haircut, plenty of pampering, lots of great styling tips and good conversation. I had Cassie Brunelli give me a new haircut for my wedding. I told Cassie that I was going to be doing my own hair at the wedding, so she walked me through the steps to style it myself, explaining her technique and why she did it that way. She also gave me some pointers for my specific hair type that have been useful. Ever since that haircut, I get compliments almost daily. I might be getting a little narcissistic, but I do think I look pretty great.

I went to get my hair dyed here and it was incredible! I walked in and was greeted upon arrival by the front desk staff and asked if i needed anything to drink while I waited. The front desk area has many really great hair products for sale and it's all so nice and neatly organized! Jonathan was my hair colorist and he was super helpful in choosing a color for me when I had no idea what I wanted. I just knew I wanted red and Jon went right to work and found a great match for my skin tone and my undertones. I hadn't dyed my hair for three years at this point and was really missing having fun colors, but still had to look professional in my workplace. The color that Jon mixed for me is perfect, subtle inside but when the sun shines on my hair it's bright red!! Would definitely rec

Unfortunately will not be coming back to veer and wander. After yesterday's visit I left almost crying. During COVID lockdown I fucked up my hair with bleach which lead to a lot of hair breakage. I usually go for icy blond but maintenance during quarantine is hard and expensive, so I decided to change it up a bit. I booked a balayage with Connie hoping that she'd do some magic. After telling her my story she told me that she won't put any more bleach in my hair but rather tone them. She then told me that I need a haircut, because my hair feel heavy and they don't flow. I don't remember the last time I got a haircut that bad. I told her I want to keep the length and agreed that she would do light layers and take a maximum of 1 inch off. She took at least 3 and the whole volume that I had in my hair before is gone now. My hair feels choppy and somehow even worse because there's just nothing left...I'm running fingers through my hair and feel terrified and crying. Not only I had to deal with loosing my hair to bleach, now I have to deal with losing them to a bad haircut as well. I feel that she just didn't listen. I feel cheap, ugly and extremely sad. I've attached pictures of my hair in August (after I bleached them) and my hair now. Sorry for the filters on the first photo, I just don't have anything better to show. Color turned out nice, wish I didn't agree for a haircut.

I moved to the city recently and had been procrastinating on booking a hair cut and color because I had been going to my same salon for 8 years and was scared to try some place new. I feel like dentists and hair stylists are the two hardest things to find in a new city. My friend highly recommended Katie as a stylist and let me tell you, this woman performs miracles. I have been getting balayage for several years in a more honey tone and I wanted to be a more ash blonde. Katie was super professional and transparent and let me know that we might not achieve my end goal today but she explained why and how doing so might damage my hair. We had a good talk about how hair stylists really have to be responsible and let their clients know if something will damage their hair. I was in the salon for over 5 hours due to the nature of what I was trying to accomplish and because I have super long, thick hair. Katie was so informative the whole way through and answered any and all questions I had. You can tell she's really a pro and passionate about what she does. I will definitely be going back. In fact I already booked my next service. Thank you Katie, for working miracles! The actual salon is adorable. They not only have hair services but it's also a cute little boutique with things from hair care to beauty care to candles and other similar cute stuff. I ended up buying the shampoo and conditioner that Katie recommended because she gained my trust, even in the "short" time I was there and I could tell she truly believed those products would help to repair my hair and prevent further I forgot to add that they offer complimentary wine during your service too! And the photo shoot at the end with the professional lighting was super fun!

The reference photo

The overall atmosphere at Veer & Wander was wonderful and everyone was very friendly; however I am less than satisfied with the state of my hair. I requested a junior stylist because the cost of the cut was already stretching my budget and I didn't want to shell out another $20 for a little more experience when at my previous salons I preferred the work of the junior stylists anyway. I don't know, maybe that was my mistake. I came in with a overgrown pixie cut. I have pretty thick hair, so when it grows out from a stylized pixie I look like a mushroom or a coconut head. As I struggle with asking for what I want when put on the spot, I brought in a picture for reference. I chose that picture because I liked that the hair gives lift to her face as her hair is not plastered against her cheeks and her ears are clearly visible and it is longer on top but not too long like a lot of pixies that have side bangs. Overall, I like the dainty-softness of the picture, which was my original experience with a pixie cut. My haircut does not capture that dainty-softness. My hair looks like it is just growing back after a buzz cut. Mind you, the quality of the cut is not terrible. I have seen it on a number of people and I like it on them. And I might have liked it on me had that been what I asked for. But it wasn't. The end result of my haircut made me feel as if my stylist either didn't take into account what I asked for or did not have the ability to accomplish it. Neither scenario is ideal for her being a service provider. I am dissatisfied with my hair and it is too short to do anything about it unless I shave my head, which I have no desire to do. I am trying to tell myself that it's just hair and it'll grow back, but I paid too much money to have my confidence stepped on as I do not feel beautiful with my new hair. Again I'd like to emphasize that the quality of the cut is fine but it did not align with my request.

Ok so QUEEN colorist Lily took me from the biggest color nightmare to the best color I've ever had !!! I saw my regular stylist who just really messed my hair up, and right before a long vacation. Luckily, lily was able to get me in last minute. What should have just been a fix turned into the best color ever!!!! I will insert photos! All I have to say is if your a blonde and you need color done this is the ONLY women to see! Wow just WOW!! Thank you lily!

Love my purple hair by Atsuko! Got it done 2 months ago & still getting compliments every day! She's amazing!!!
Gina M.

Love love love my purple hair by Atsuko! I told her what I was going for and she picked the color. It came out exactly how I wanted it to. I got it done about 2 months ago and still get compliments every day. She's amazing!!! I dyed my hair purple in support of my 12 year old sister who was diagnosed with ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura). When people tell me how much they love my hair and I tell them why I chose this color, it helps me promote ITP awareness by me telling them what ITP is. Please check out an article my sister wrote about her experience at https://phoenix415.wordpress.com Thank you again Atsuko for the amazing job you did with this shade of purple. It truly is everything I wanted and has helped me spread the word about my sister's diagnosis. It means more to me than you could imagine!

Alicia H.

Love this place! Gina is super sweet and always does a great job cutting my hair (Ziggy is great too!). I used to be like, do I really need to spend $100 on just a haircut?? But as I've gotten older, I've come to realize that a good cut is just as important as color. And that's why I love Veer and Wander! Really cute space, easy to book appointments on their website (and even directly through Yelp), and great service!
