    I had a baleyage done with Anais. I was very stressed out about trying a new hairstylist, but she…read morewas very professional and kind, and she gave me the best hair color that I've ever had. I was afraid of any breakage, but my hair looked even healthier after she was done with it. She was very patient and caring and she also gave me a free hair mask which was very kind of her. Definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. 10/10

    I had a disappointing experience with Niurka. I came in originally for a root bleach. The stylist…read moretold me my hair was too weak for additional bleach, so I change my decision and showed a clear photo of exactly what I wanted to avoid additional bleach. She never explained that the result would look completely different from the photo. I ended up with something nothing like what I asked for and still paid $150 for it. When I expressed my concerns, she said it was "pretty," but that doesn't change that it wasn't what I requested. She offered for me to come back, but after this experience, the trust isn't there. She also required me to pay through Venmo as a Friends payment even though this was a business service, which leaves customers without any protection. If this happens to you, you can report it directly to Venmo, and you can submit concerns about improper business practices through the IRS's public tip form.(IRS Form 3949-A -- Information Referral) Based on my experience, I wouldn't return.

    I've been coming to Tammy for cuts for years, and absolutely love how my hair always comes out…read more Today was my first time going to Kelsey and had an equally great experience! I have extra thick long hair and she was able to give me exactly what I asked for.

    I wanted to dye my hair here and decided not to after my consultation. Like the owner here likes to…read moresay, "the vibes were off". I walked into the salon and I don't know if it's because I don't fit the look of the clients here, but the owner stops talking to the client she was working on and stares me up and down and lets me just stand there looking lost because I wasn't sure where I was supposed to wait to meet with Kelsey. It's a tiny salon too so she was just staring directly up and down at me like a weirdo and doesn't say a word to me, then continues to talk to her client. I eventually peeked in the other room to see if Kelsey was there and she seemed nice and asked me to have a seat and give her few minutes. Personally I think customer service goes a long way, long enough for me to decide where I will and won't spend a few hundred dollars. The owner seems full of it so this review is mostly for others who feel customer service is important (especially when you're paying for it!). As a Latina, it's exhausting trying to find good businesses that are not pretentious and snobby in the South Bay. As it is, I already feel out of place in RPV, it's apparent the owner wants only a specific type of clientele, just read her responses on the one star reviews here. As for Kelsey, she seems sweet and the only thing that made me realize I wasn't coming back, was when she told me she would text me later that day to send me photos of ideas she had for my hair and she never did. After a week of not getting a red, I realized I just didn't get a good vibe. Mostly because when I looked back at Yelp I realized there were reviews on poor customer service and then it confirmed this bad feeling I initially had after the consultation.

    Great hair care and relaxing experience!…read more I've been coming to Salon Kharazi for years, and every time, Kash and Angela are taking a great care of me! Kash and Angela are attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. My hair looks amazing, and I am really enjoying my time at the salon! The products Kash recommended, made a real difference as I went from having dry and frizzy hair to enjoying a shiny healthy hair now! I highly recommend Salon Kharazi for a friendly family atmosphere and outstanding hair care!

    It was my second visit to this salon; I stopped in in a couple of years ago for color and it was…read moreok. I came back based on a referral and the yelp reviews. Service requested was a root touch up to cover my grey and to tone down the brassiness from some old highlights. I was specific on what I wanted and what I did not want, including sending photos before and after. Unfortunately, the service that I received was far from correct and acceptable. My experience here was unpleasant, too much of a dismissive attitude with games and excuses to not make this right and ultimately making me feel as if I did something wrong. No issues when I arrived, he greeted me and we discussed the plan. While I sat in his chair, there were a number of things that could have been done better, at the end of the day, it is how comfortable a customer is made to feel. If a customer comes to a salon, it's to feel better, it's a Zen for some of us, not a place to sit there and hear unfounded medical theories about dementia, or other gender related comments. Be sensitive, you never know who is in your chair, and what their family may be dealing, this made me so uncomfortable. I sat in that chair hearing about everything else chatting up amongst themselves and taking personal phone calls, yet no focus on my hair. If a customer pays for a master colorist, the expectation is that you do it, not someone else, in my case, the young lady washing hair. Mentor the hair washer person to not rub the water head in someone's skull, it is painful, I left the salon with hives. For the toner selection: As the colorist, you should be working with your client to select it, not have your client to do it for you. A client has no concept, or training on the color mix and how things will look. This is an out to waive any accountability, not cool, not appreciated. Do right by the customer, this is your community, we invest in it and support it, we come here to you based on referrals, so to find every excuse and inconvenient times to have me return is not a great business practice. Lastly, in years of getting my hair color not once has someone left the toner for so long and with a cap under the heat. My hair is dry now, crunch, and brittle causing breakage. To date, no response provided, he went radio silent. No partial refund provided as requested, zero accountability. My hair remains a mess. Anyone else would have asked for the entire refund if they saw my hair, however, unlike this salon, I have respect and still compensate for the time that he took to do my roots. Other than doing my roots and mix the toner, he did nothing else. My charge was $200, plus a $20 tip to the person that washes the hair.

    First time trying this salon. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile, and friendly…read moreservice . I felt very welcomed. The place was full of beautiful women getting their hair done. There was good music playing in the background. Talk about vibes lol. I absolutely intend to go back. Prices are very reasonable! Great service!

    I had high hopes for this establishment and I really wanted to like this place. I was so excited…read morefor my appointment. Unfortunately not only was the customer service horrible but so was the service provided to me. While expressing what I wanted to get done I confirmed with Chohee if it was achievable. She said absolutely! I was thrilled and excited and said lets do it, we agreed on a price $400. I thought it was a bit pricey but said I deserve to treat myself. I was sitting in that chair for 4 hours. My phone died. I was hungry and thirsty. No one asked if i needed anything or check up on me. She was attending other clients and overall I felt neglected throughout the whole process. Despite the poor treatment and feeling of abandonment, i still had high hope that I would receive my new look and it would all be worth it. I stayed calm, kind and patient. She then revealed the final result and it was not what I had asked for. I pulled up the reference picture and said to her "I was going more for this look, is this it or were you still working on my hair?" No attitude, no negative tone, just a question. She suddenly got defensive and said she did not appreciate me saying "is this it?" And that she felt insulted. I apologized to her and said "that wasn't my intention it's just that I've been sitting here for hours expecting a different result that we discussed and agreed to." She said if I wanted that look then it would be another $300 and probably another 2 hours. I was shocked. She changed the price from what we discussed and at this point I felt like she was trying to take advantage of me. As Chohee was finishing the final steps of my appointment she was extremely cold, and unpleasant to be around. I felt VERY uncomfortable. I felt like i was beings reasonable and accommodating the whole appointment and to be treated so poorly really disappointed me and made me feel so small. Definitely won't be coming back here.

Every time I see her, I leave so happy with the results. She always knows exactly what I want, and my highlights turn out beautiful every time.

She is truly the best!

    I had an appointment made same day which was great. I was disappointed by the hair cut. The lady…read morewas nice, but I felt like my request was not heard. I brought in example/ inspo photo (just simple long layer cut) and asked for face framing pieces and showed it to the stylist, but the stylist barely looked at the photo. My hair looked nothing like the photo I showed, and it was cut much shorter than expected and the end feels choppy. I gave it more chance by washing and drying the day after, but it's overall disappointing. I had mentioned a few times I want to keep it longer like the picture I showed, but it wasn't heard. I couldn't say much more once the stylist made the very first snip and had to go along with it. It became even shorter by the end. I wish the stylist had been more proactive about the consultation before proceeding with the cut. I got an impression that the stylist wanted to get through the hair cut session as a quickly as possible. This was for upcoming graduation, so it is more disappointing. Again, very nice lady. Not too sure if it's just one time issue!
