Thank you Nikki and Joe for working on me for 5-6 hours to get this done. Honestly, I almost feel bad because Nikki would explain to me the process in detail and I would be clueless and just nodding my head since this was my first time and I got no clue about being blonde along with the technical terms included in the process of doing it. She knew this and changed her way of explaining so that I could understand it better. Haha. Things I learned was 1 close my eyes when they're rinsing off the bleach, 2 also close my eyes when I'm on the dryer with the bleach and 3 take all the stretch breaks that's offered. There's always a first time for everyone. The results were amazing!! I was nervous, scared and excited because it was a big change but also I didn't know if the color was gonna match me. She assured me that it would look great and it takes a lot to say something like that because that just meant that she knew what she was doing and it was true. Experience was great! She also fixed my chunky haircut and made it more streamlined which ultimately shaped it up to look amazing. We also did a trial run of curls to see how long it would hold if I decided to get it done a day before my nurse graduation this month. Not to mention they're so eager to help out with your progress shots too. Thank you so much!! Will definitely be back in the future. :)

I booked a balayage with Vladana for the first time this afternoon, and to say that I'm happy with the result is a serious understatement. I'm still in complete awe of my refreshed color and style -- I can't help but double-take and light up each time I pass my reflection. She took her time with an in-depth consultation and heard me out on my hair history, my concerns, my ideal vision, etc. She applied her expertise and executed on every note. Her energy is genuinely warm and inviting; it was effortless to get comfortable and trust her through the process. Vladana is a master artist and her standard of care and service is exemplary. The whole appointment felt like a visit with an old friend -- until I caught a glimpse of the end result and was completely blown away. I'm impressed and deeply grateful. Thanks to her, I feel like the best version of myself -- my inner 'glow' has returned with one visit. I will absolutely be back in her chair for my next appointment and can't wait to see the whole team again!

I've been going to Robin for over 7 years now for cut and color and recently went to transition my…read morehair to a lighter tone to blend in my grays. I have quite a bit of gray at the top so I wanted to go lighter than the typical "caramel" tones I would ask for in a regular highlight. Robin referred me to Johnny and he did an amazing job! I showed him a couple pictures of the tones I wanted and he nailed it. Asian hair is a bit tricky to lift without it going brassy so I was pleased that Johnny was able to give me more taupe/beige tones using the balayage technique that would enable me to grow out the color gracefully. A couple notes: Unless your hair has never been dyed, going dramatically lighter is going to take time. I wasn't expecting Johnny to be able to get the lightness right away so I was shocked that he was able to produce the tones I wanted. I'll probably add more light pieces as my grays grow out but this is exactly the starting point I wanted. Also, not sure what the previous reviewer was expecting but balayage actually translates to "sweep" so it's meant to look like the lights were painted on in a natural way. I think balayage is a more modern look but if you're looking for super even then I would stick to traditional highlights. Anyway, having worked with Robin, Rebecca and now Johnny, I think this salon has a great eye for talent!

Ok, this is waayyyyy overdue because I've been going to Amy for a long time. First, Amy is an angel…read moreon earth. She is so warm, funny, talented and beautiful and she makes you feel special and pretty. She's literally one of the sweetest people I've ever known. Now, let's talk extensions. I've wanted them forever - I have pretty thin hair that does not like to grow past my shoulders. Amy and I met for the consult and played with all the color swatches (so fun!). We took some time making sure we had the right colors because once you order the hair you can't change the color. The colors turned out ah-maz-ing. It takes a few hours to install but the time flies by because Amy and I are just chatting away and having fun. The end result seriously brought me to tears. It took some getting used to because the hair feels like another appendage when you never had much hair before. I thought the bonds would be uncomfortable to sleep in but they are not - I don't even really notice them anymore. With my hair being thin I was worried about stressing it out and causing it to weaken my natural hair and creating long term damage. That is always a risk when you color, use heat or anything really, so I just try to be super careful that I don't tug the hair too hard, get it stuck under my purse strap, let my kids pull on it, etc. I always kinda have my guard up now, lol, but it's so worth it. When I went in for my first lift (about 4 weeks post-install) Amy moved a couple of pieces around based on my feedback/questions, shaped the front a little and made it look more amazing! She also looked for signs that my hair roots were getting stressed out or if I was being too rough on the bonds. So she really goes the extra mile to have you looking fab and keep your natural hair healthy. And, because you are investing in this hair, don't skimp on the quality hair care products. Whatever Amy suggests you get, just get it. They have an amazing line of Kevin Murphy products and she set me up with everything I needed. It is pricey, but if you skimp you won't get a very long life out of your hair. This is like a dream come true. My hair has always been one of the things I disliked most about myself and as silly as it might sound, these extensions have changed my life. Thank you, Amy for being the sweetheart you are and for your expertise!

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!

I have been going to Laura for about 2 years now and this review is long overdue. Laura really takes the time to listen to my needs and complaints and gives me honest and solid advice. She doesn't just cut my hair to how she think it should look but rather listens to what I want. I know that sounds obvious but so many stylists do not listen. As you can see in the photo, she knows how to cut curly hair (I am about 3a ish) and style it wonderfully! Very reasonably priced and she is also just incredible to be around! I can't imagine trusting my hair with anyone else!

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.
