A visit to Rachel Manifesto is a wonderful experience because she helped me achieve my hair goals. She consistently provides beautiful cuts, styling, and product advice that works on my hair type. She's just fun! There are so many reasons why I recommend Rachel: 1. Rachel is a No-Drama Zone professional. She's ALWAYS ready, cheerful, and on time without any cancellations, changes, or lateness. As a busy professional, I really appreciate that. 2. Rachel provides 100% consistent quality on haircuts, color, and glosses. She takes notes so she can replicate results on the next visit. And, she will make helpful suggestions to even improve on that! 3. Rachel's blowouts are fantastic: relaxing and comfortable. 4. Rachel keeps me looking current and stylish. 5. Rachel is an absolute joy to visit. A happy Disneyphile (like us!), she exudes confidence, peace, and I've never seen her frazzled or stressed out. I can truly relax and feel pampered. read more

Amazing talent at Victoria's salon! I Love Victoria's approach to training her staff and helping clients get their hair consistently fabulous with the highest quality products and service! Aside from that the owner Victoria is the most kind and generous person I have met and a real mentor to her staff. I had moved with my old stylist but have since learned that a business( yes even a hair salon) run as a professional unit with a strong culture is more than its parts! Thankful for a lovely experience with coloring my hair recently. I felt absolutely wonderful special and relaxed to the T. The salon is more like a cozy spa. One can relax sip a beverage and really chill! Enjoy! read more

Kim has been my stylist for several years and she ALWAYS delivers a personalized creation that is perfect for my lifestyle & features. The time had come for a drastic change-up. I messaged Kim with my desires & expectations and gave her free rein to design a style based on those guidelines. She delivered perfectly. I love it...it is ideal. Kim is not only a creative artist; so conscientious, such a perfectionist, she a personable delight. The time had come for a change. read more

I've been going to Alexandra for years!! She's so talented and amazingly gifted. I've always given her crazy and drastic hair styles from color to cut, and she's always steered me the right way or killed it with amazing technique. Go to her, you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been living in the Bay Area for over a decade and have never been able to find my preferred salon until now! I was referred by a friend to Rachel and I am *so* happy that she was able to fit me into her list of clientele. Rachel is incredibly easy to work with, she actually listens to everything you need, both with color/cut *and* lifestyle (i.e., how often do you want to upkeep, do you want an easy style process at home, etc.). Thank you so much to Victoria for creating such a wonderful environment (and always providing some great snacks!) and thank you Rachel for being an amazing stylist!!! read more

Claudia is an absolute creator! After months of neglect my hair was starting to look like I dip dyed it in some red Koolaid. I came in with such a short window to get it back to a presentable state. I was being super indecisive about what I wanted but Claudia was super patient and gave me helpful suggestions upon me describing my daily routines, how much time I spend getting ready in the morning and how much I was willing to do to maintain it. After all that she still patiently highlighted my hair using what felt like 200 foils and it came out gorgeously! (I'll add a recent picture in the end) But as for the salon itself, it's such a perfect little getaway! I love that it feels like luxury in charming downtown Pleasanton. I'm from Orange County and I'm so glad to be able to find excellent quality and not have to go to a big city to find it. Absolutely love it and will definitely be back! read more

Victoria's Salon - Highlights by Claudia. I asked her to make them really thin strands - Skin Care Near Me - Pleasanton, California

This is a wonderful salon located in the heart of downtown Pleasanton! The ambiance inside is elegant and all of the stylists are kind and friendly. This past visit, I received a foilyage and cut with Claudia to lighten up my look and accentuate my curls. My hair looks SO good! Claudia listened to what I wanted and then blew me away with the end product over-exceeding my expectations. She even helped me pick hair products that would fit my newly embraced curls. I highly recommend visiting this salon and seeing Claudia! read more

I've been going to Rachel for a few years now. She really is an artist and knows exactly what I will like! I love the way she curls my hair so it's relaxed and cool looking. I've also brought multiple hair accessories to her to show me the best way to wear them. The latest project was letting her do whatever she wanted to my hair...she gave me natural highlights and knew exactly how they would evolve over time. I am honestly the worst at styling my hair, but Rachel has taught me so much and inspires me to have better hair! I've been to so many stylists where I just want to cringe when I leave and Rachel does the opposite. :). I love her! read more

I love my hair!! Steph did such a good job with the color and gave me some layers that makes my hair look thicker. My hair also feels healthy and I got a compliment today! Steph is also so easy to talk to and helped me decide the right color for me that matches my skin tone. read more

Raschell J. Is truly a gifted hair stylist who my wife thinks is just wonderful and sweet. She does such a great job, and my wife is always happy with the cut and color. I have waited for my wife several times, and to tell the truth, I enjoy the treats! Victoria, the owner, is very cordial, and the salon is always immaculate. read more

I tried out 2 other stylists before coming to Victoria's. Both who just didn't have a passion for hair and really had no idea about color and really effed up my once beautiful hair. I left my prior hairstylist ONLY bc the drive to/from Los Gatos became too much with two small kids. I stumbled across Rachel Manifesto's Instagram and stalked her until hair salons could re-open. I truly believe that if you own a business and treat people right, your business will flourish. From the get-go Rachel was honest. She let me know pricing, time I should expect to be at the salon (great for all you parents with littles), we discussed potential colors and what hairstyles/colors looked best up and down and what hairstyles/colors looked better styled. We even discussed my post-partum hair loss and which way I'm parting it for now vs. how I normally part it. I needed a shorter hair cut that was able to be lived in, low maintenance (ain't nobody with littles got time to be at the salon for color touch ups every 6-8weeks), and looked good in a pony tail 99.9% of the time. I also needed the ugly a** chunky blonde highlights the prior stylist gave me, toned wayyyyyyyy down and the block/hard lines where those ugly things ended and my natural color began. Let me tell y'all, I spent 5 hours on a Saturday enjoying conversation, magazine reading, more conversation, laughing, and filled completely with excitement and anticipation for the final reveal of the hair I not only needed but wanted. It's so hard to find someone who wants to get to know you as a person so they can make your hair what you want and not make it the way they want. I'm SO thrilled I gave Rachel M. A chance. 3rds times a charm :) so go check out her insta @hairbyrachelmanifesto and see how good she is at her craft, then go run and make an appointment with her. But don't do it all at once, bc I need her too read more

I love Victoria's Salon! Rachel M. is the absolute BEST! From blonde, brown, to everything in between she always leaves me walking out of the salon feeling my BEST! I have been going to her for many years and every time I come she takes time to ask what I want and discusses with me her steps for that service. Her coloring, cutting, and styling is always perfect! When I leave the salon, I always get complimented on my hair and everyone I refer says they LOVE her as well! Not only is she the sweetest, but she is so very talented I know that I will always walk away more than pleased. She is always on time, never keeps me waiting and is great at communicating when there are changes in the schedule! Be sure to head over to Victoria's Salon when you're in downtown Pleasanton, it really is the BEST! read more

5 stars! I have been a customer for many years. The salon is gorgeous inside and absolutely immaculate. All of the stylist continually work on their skills so customers get the latest cuts, colors, products, etc. Nikki Pepper is my stylist and has been for many years. I usually get a haircut, highlights and a gloss treatment (fabulous!). I love my hair and am a very happy customer. You will enjoy the experience because everyone is friendly and welcoming. read more

Victoria's Salon and my stylist Rachel Manifesto are the absolute best!! My husband and I moved to Danville a few years back and I needed to find a salon and stylist up here. Thankfully Victoria's was recommended to me and I am so glad it was! Rachel is truly wonderful and always makes me feel great after my appointment. She listens to what I have in mind and will give me suggestions as to what she thinks will be the best for me and my hair. She has excellent color and cut techniques and is always up-to-date on the latest trends and I am so thankful she's my stylist! read more

When I didn't get the final product that I was looking for, Alexandra went above and beyond by offering to have me come in the same week to fix it. She spent three hours working with me to make sure I loved the end product and was happy with how I looked. I truly appreciated her taking the time and going out of her way to make sure I got what I was looking for. She also checked in with me a few days later to make sure that I was still loving the color which was so thoughtful! Overall, I was extremely impressed by the professionalism and experience I had with her and would 100% recommend Alexandra and the salon to others! read more

I had the most amazing experience getting a hair cut by Kim today. I came in with an idea and she completely brought that vision to life. I wanted an A-Symmetrical Lob and she nailed it. Not only was I so obsessed with my new identity lol but Kim was so extremely personable, cute, professional and obviously talented. She updated me on what steps she would be doing for my hair cut. I thought this was very professional and kind of her! I have no idea what a hair cut really consists of so to be in communication with her was super appreciated. Did I mention she's super pretty and just overall made my experience smooth and satisfying. I even booked a touch up hair cut with her. She is that good. All of the other stylists and staff members are so sweet and the aesthetic of the salon is so cute. read more

This is the BEST salon I have ever been to! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. I started going there about a year ago, based on a recommendation, and what a difference it has made!! My hair is healthier than ever, and my color is fantastic. Victoria (owner), Kim, and Nikki are all amazing - both personally and professionally. Everyone super attentive, highly focused on customer service and providing a great overall experience. They ask about what I would want to do differently each time I come in vs. assuming that we will just continue to do the same thing. So thankful for this salon and the folks that work there! read more

OMG this is long overdue. This place and Kaylin saved my wedding day! I didn't realize this hidden gem was in downtown Pleasanton all the times I've been down there... On my wedding day my original hairstylist ended up in ER and on a Saturday morning I called this place and they were able to squeeze me in. I was so happy and satisfied with my style. I will be returning this Friday for a root touch up. read more

Looks like my original review was removed, extremely disappointing, as I was trying to warn others about my experience. I had to review under my other (backup) account, hopefully they'll do better as a business next time. Absolutely unprofessional! read more

Would leave 0 if I could. Left a previous review about a horrible experience and the fact that I was charged $150 over what I was originally quoted. Came back to see if anyone had responded to that review, just to find it deleted... terribly unprofessional, and frankly, false advertising. Do better! read more

Still going to Raschell and still love her. She always makes my hair look great. Whether I'm in the mood to experiment or just want to do the same thing as my last appointment, I always leave the salon loving my hair. As a blonde I have to say, she is amazing with blonde hair which can be hard to find. read more

This is now my 2nd time going to Rachel at Victoria's Salon and I LOVE her. Both times I was extremely happy with her making my vision come to life. Not only that but she is the sweetest human I have ever talked to and I know her heart is 100% in it. Thank you Rachel!! read more

I liked their hair service, but was really disappointed with the makeup service. I wasn't happy at all with the makeup that rebecca did on me as I could do much better by myself. They charge extra $15 for the application of fake Eyelashes (even though I had my own eyelashes with me) which they don't tell you at the beginning. I just didn't have a good experience with her, so probably will never go back. read more

Tried a few places in the Trivalley that I went to through referrals, and wasn't incredibly impressed. But I decided to look on Yelp and was impressed by the reviews [with pics] of Juliana's work at Victoria's Salon. It was a way more emotional decision than I want to admit, so I was apprehensive to say the least. I was pretty embarrassed of my hair but Juliana made me so comfortable and excited about the potential of what my hair could look like. The salon itself is pretty much a girl's "free afternoon" fantasy. With the services they offer, I could spend all day there. Super clean, super chic, and everyone is service oriented. I had Kaylynn cut my hair. And it's actually a funny story because I stopped a woman in the nail salon a couple of months ago to comment on her hair. It was an amazing cut. She wrote down the name of the stylist, Kaylynn, and then of course I lost the paper. It was a coincidence that I had Kaylynn cut my hair, and loved it. A couple of days later I stumbled on the paper the woman wrote for me, and loved that I was able to have someone that I wanted to go see. My hair has a ton of box red in it, so I didn't have high expectations of what my color could look like. I wanted to go lighter, but back to my natural ashy color. The way Juliana tied in the highlights and balayage in addition to the toner she used gave me a completely different look without over processing. Asking what my goals were and explaining the process, we came up with a plan to get to my dream hair. But the steps in between I am incredibly happy with, too. Thank you Juliana & Kaylynn for embodying a service oriented salon. You clearly have created a raving fan. [and next time I promise I will post pics of your work!] By the way...the value for the price is outstanding. It is not going to be the cheapest you will find. But if you are looking for the cheapest for your hair, that may not be the best idea.... Please reconsider. And google bad hair jobs to inspire you to invest in going to a legit place. read more

I just got my hair colored for the first time at Victoria's salon with Julianna. I followed Julianna there from SF. She's been coloring my hair for years. Where she goes I go. I LOVED my experience at Victoria's! I'll definitely be back there ! The salon literally has everything and every service possible there which I loved. I always let Julianna do as she pleases with my hair whether it's highlights or a lilac purple or gray or even baby pink. Definitely check her out ! :) read more

Victoria's Salon - Color done by Juliana ! - Skin Care Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Probably one of the worst experiences. Came in wanting baleyage: something natural and came out with tiger stripe highlights. Maybe it's a process to go from dark to ashy blonde but I did not like how it turned out at all.... Far from natural. I kindly asked if we could fix it and Vanessa who originally did my hair had the worst attitude on the phone. She agreed to look at my hair. I came in and literally was treated as if I was crazy. I tried to explain to her calmly that I didn't like the streakyness and she said " you want to see streaky, I'll show you streaky." So rude. I told her I didn't want to damage my hair by adding any color or anything and she said " I came in on my day off to fix your hair that I don't see a problem with and left my three kids at home". I'm sorry but that's not my fault.... I didn't like the turn out and isn't the policy to make your clients happy? Not to mention all the dirty looks I got from all the other stylists. Definitely a waste of $200 and won't be coming back here ever. Waste of time and money read more

I drive an hour to get my done here, the service is that good. Catalina Perez works on my hair, she is absolutely the greatest! I know that whatever color or style I want on my hair, she will make happen. She is able to tame my curly and unruly hair with hair cuts that are for my hair type. As far as hair color, Catalina always gives me a hair color that compliments my skin tone; to also go along with the seasons (lighter in the summer, darker in the winter) and trends (ombre, highlights, etc). The salon itself, is very clean and well kept, with a very modern design. The complimentary wine, mimosas, and snacks are also a definite plus. read more

It was my first time here & thanks to Julianna I had an amazing experience. This salon does it all! Literally. The service was amazing. Julianna gave me a tour of the salon then sat me down and talked about what wanted to achieve. I wanted something fun & different Julianna nailed it. I will definitely be back Juliana has done my hair in past & always love it whether it's root touch up or a fun color. read more

I absolutely adore Catalina. She has been doing my hair (and Aunt's hair) for a few years. She is amazing and a perfectionist. She goes out of her way to make sure you are happy with your hair and she is a great listener. I can't say enough about Catalina and her skills. They are top notch! And she's as sweet as they come. The salon itself is gorgeous- very modern. I rarely give 5 stars, but this place deserves it! read more

Came back to Victoria's after a few years and was not disappointed, same impeccable service. Juliana colored and styled my hair. Beautiful natural highlights, exactly how I like it. Since my hair was a little bit damaged she applied a mask that made it look shiny and healthy again. Her expertise, happy and positive attitude are a major plus! Thank you, Juliana! Looking forward to my next visit read more

Yesterday was my first time at Victoria's Salon. I have been getting my hair done by Juliana at a salon in SF for years and I've never been let down, so I followed her here to Victoria's! This last visit with her at Victoria's Salon was extra special. The salon is absolutely beautiful, the décor, lighting, everything is perfect. As soon as I got there Juliana gave me a tour, she showed me the waxing room, the makeup bar, color room etc. She then sat me down and asked what my goals were for my hair and what exactly I was hoping to achieve. I always trust her to make decisions with my hair so she ended up doing a full highlight, and a keratin treatment. I am so pleased with the outcome of my hair. I loved the vibes in the salon and Juliana's attentiveness. If you're looking for someone who truly wants to help you achieve your goals with your hair give Juliana a call! I will definitely be back to see her again soon! read more

Victoria's Salon is a 5 Diamond salon. Their staff is extremely knowledgable and very polite. They are the Nordstrom of salons. The service they provide makes them stand out from the rest. They are well rounded salon providing the only the best in products and cuts. My stylist is Catalina Perez. I have been a client with her for over 5 years. After many years of bad color, bleaching, and terrible cuts, Kerastase and Catalina saved my hair. I recommend her and Kerastase to everyone i know. I look forward to my appointments not only because I can relax in the beauty and tranquility of the salon but because I will enjoy it with a Mimosa or glass of wine. Take a chance and switch to Victoria's salon. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed. I very happy client Es. read more
