Last year, I lost my hair due to chemo during my battle with breast cancer. It was one of the hardest things I've ever gone through, and regaining my confidence has been a journey. Maritza truly changed that for me. Her work with keratin bond extensions completely transformed my hair. Not only does it look beautiful and natural, but it made me feel like myself again. That feeling is priceless. She was so kind, patient, and understanding throughout the entire process, and you can tell how much she genuinely cares about her clients. If you're looking for someone incredibly talented who also has the biggest heart, Maritza is your person. I am beyond grateful for her and this experience. Thank you for helping me feel confident again--it means more than I can put into words.

Walking into Blond Bungalow ended up being one of the best decisions I've made for myself in a long…read moretime. I originally went in for a color appointment, but I had been quietly thinking about getting extensions for months. My hair has always sat around shoulder length and never seems to grow much past that, no matter what I do, so the idea of adding length and fullness felt both exciting and a little intimidating. From the moment I sat down with Maritza I knew I was in the right hands. She took the time to talk through what I wanted, what would work best with my hair, and how to keep everything looking natural and healthy. Her level of expertise and attention to detail immediately built confidence. The result was beyond what I imagined. The color looked beautiful, and the extensions blended seamlessly. The length and fullness feel completely natural, and the transformation honestly gave me a huge boost in confidence. It still feels like my hair, just the best version of it. Maritza truly nailed it. Her skill, professionalism, and ability to understand exactly what I was hoping for made the entire experience feel effortless. If you've been thinking about extensions but feel unsure, I can't recommend Maritza at Blond Bungalow enough. I'm so glad I finally went for it, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The photo attached really doesn't capture how great it looks in person. If you've been thinking about extensions I whole heartedly recommend Maritza.

Soo was so knowledgable and made great suggestions for texture and length of extensions, she matched her hair bundles with my real hair almost exactly.

I think the pricing was extremely reasonable and I ended up spending somewhere around $900 (Groupon + in person services with tip not included). I would highly recommend!

Itzel, in bullet points:…read more * Dedicated, hardworking and incredibly detailed-oriented * Takes pride in the sophisticated hair-coloring craft and never rushed the process * Asked me to send photos of the ash blonde highlights I had in the past that I liked to make sure the color formulation is done right. Ended up creating a slightly cooler tone that works even better for me personally * Spent HOURS on my hair waiting for the highlights to come out properly * Recommended salon toner treatment and silver shampoo to maintain the ash tones I like * Warm, friendly and easy to talk to but also extremely competent and informative. I learned a lot from her during the appointment * Focused on long-term hair health and maintenance not just the service that day. Also knowledgeable about curly hair which for me personally can be a real struggle * Made what could have been a routine salon maintenance appointment into a genuinely enjoyable experience.

This was one of the worst haircuts of my life! I got the opposite of what I wanted and my hair…read moresurprisingly became 6 inches shorter than what was agreed to. Prior to coming here, I had my hair cut in Paris. This was the best haircut of my life. Long layers that eventually grew down to waist length. I described what I wanted (my hairstyle for years): cut to mid-boob length, with long layers starting from just above my chin (using my hands to gesture at height), plus thinning throughout because most hairdressers have described my hair as one of the thickest they've ever seen. What I got was a sideway somewhat uneven lob with no layers that ended at the bottom of my neck. This looks especially bad with my thick hair and on days when my hair is particularly voluminous and poofy I feel like a yeti. It will probably take another 6 months for my hair to grow back! I deserve to have my $160 compensated back to me for harm done. I'm so traumatized from this experience that I might go back to cutting my own hair as I did during COVID. When I asked why the length was so short, the hairstylist said this was better than what I wanted. Having already sat through a 1.5h haircut and knowing that long layers were not possible anymore, I didn't complain any further and just wanted to get out of there. I'll add to this that my hairstylist had some unsavory political opinions that should probably be kept private, in Berkeley of all places. I'm not coming back here.

It occurred to me later that this might not be totally wash and wear- because I didn't remember to request that. I left with a super cute modern Farrah Faucet style that they carefully crafted. BUT I got out of the shower and just kind of scrunched my layers as they dried- SUPER CUTE. Natural volume and curl. The cut will be easy to dress up or down- and I'm not overwhelmed by the amount of hair strangling me in my sleep and tugging my neck wrong with the weight when I'm washing it. THANK YOU ERIC.
