Reached out on Yelp and several places just said no and left it at that. One place wouldn't even answer without me booking first.

Well, I ended up forgetting them (rushing) but the hair turned out perfect without the Color Wow and it was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Book with Nikolas today--who will assure you he's relevant (for four hours) while bragging about ruining clients looks on purpose if they rub him the wrong way. All for only $400+! I look like a clown with black roots, red mid lengths and white hair stragglers. Artist gave himself a 75$ tip, and ranks as the second-worst experience I've had at a hair salon. I was a bleached-blonde for 11 years...that's a lot of trips to the salons. I had to play along and molly-coddle him as he bragged about botching looks of clients who annoyed him (my service had already begun, and I had a wedding later that day). Turns out it was useless, because I ended up with ugly hair. Brands himself as a "curly hair specialist," but I watched him mess mine + another client's hair (who was serviced during my appointment). Save your money, go bald instead.

I've been going to Nielle for over a decade and from the jump she really listened to what I wanted…read more I originally came to her after a botched balayage I got in the Philippines, and she completely fixed it. From there, we did an 10 hour transformation going blonde and honestly, that appointment bonded us for life. I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!

If you are considering making Leticia your regular stylist and entrusting her with years of color,…read morecuts, styling and professional advice, please consider my experience. I was Leticia's regular client for approximately five and a half years, seeing her about every three weeks and generally spending between $200 and $500 per visit. I traveled more than 30 minutes across San Francisco because I trusted her, liked the Eufora color line and wanted to support Cetana through the difficult years for downtown businesses. In September 2026, Leticia reduced her schedule to Sundays only, with so little availability that she could no longer accommodate my established schedule. She knew how frequently I needed appointments and that I had a major event coming up within weeks. She never called, texted or emailed me. She did not explain that she could no longer see me, address my upcoming appointments or make any effort to transition me to another colorist. I learned what was happening incidentally when Jay, the salon manager, contacted me about an unrelated scheduling error. That conversation did not initially account for my appointment the following morning or another appointment immediately before my major event. I had to identify each consequence myself and gradually piece together that Leticia had simply made herself unavailable to me without explanation. While this was unfolding, I checked Leticia's Instagram because I genuinely wondered whether something had happened to her that might explain the abrupt change. That was when I discovered that she had blocked me. This was not simply a disappointing schedule change or a matter of hurt feelings. Leticia dropped a client she had seen every three weeks for five and a half years, immediately before a major event, without notice, explanation or a transition plan. She left the manager and me to sort out the consequences while she blocked me on social media. I found that conduct extraordinarily immature and profoundly unprofessional. My hair requires frequent, experienced color care, and I have a sensitive scalp. Because very few San Francisco salons use Eufora, I suddenly had to locate a qualified new colorist and safely change professional product lines on very short notice. If you work with Leticia, make it an explicit condition that every updated formula be stored centrally in the salon's records. Do not simply assume that it is. Mine was not centrally available when I needed it, and Jay had to obtain it directly from her. A few months earlier, I was present when the front desk relayed another former client's request for her formula. Leticia indicated to the front desk that she would provide it, but then told me privately that she had no intention of doing so and characterized the client negatively. I did not know the full circumstances and accepted Leticia's account at the time. Looking back, I find that exchange deeply distasteful and directly relevant to what subsequently happened to me. I later confirmed with a renowned salon that maintaining current formulas in a centralized system is routine professional practice. Insist that the salon regularly records and retains yours so that your continued care does not depend entirely on Leticia's availability or cooperation. Leticia's results were generally good, but I frequently watched her consult Cetana's senior colorist for guidance. She also repeatedly encouraged me to consider extensions despite my lack of interest, without providing the balanced discussion of cost, maintenance and potential drawbacks that I expected. At her price point, I expected more independent expertise and more client-centered advice. I now believe there are more experienced and professional options available. Jay deserves credit. Once I explained everything, he apologized, obtained my formula, protected my appointments and offered a complimentary service. He handled the aftermath thoughtfully. Nevertheless, this experience permanently ended my business with Cetana. I would not recommend entrusting years of recurring appointments to Leticia.
