Terrible. Absolutely disgusting. I am horrified. This is one of the most expensive, but most…read moreharmful, destructive, unprofessional Brazilian blowout appointments I've had in years. You pay between $550-$700 for the most low bar, unprofessional, under qualified service you will ever find, in all of the US. I worked with CRYSTAL at this branch for several appointments over 6 months. The last appointment was before thanksgiving. She decided to take two customers on the same day. Her technique was sloppy, rushed, and extremely violent with my already fragile, blonde hair. After washing, you are supposed to be very gentle with hair until product has been applied. You are supposed to part the hair gently with a comb, apply product to every strand, and gently brush through, then blow dry. She was butchering my hair. Using the brush (in picture) to YANK MY HAIR OUT OF MY SKULL while it was wet, without product, to get through the appointment as soon as humanly possible, and get overpaid, with no regard for my hairs health, or survival. It was an extremely painful, grueling experience. I was working and looking down during the appointment. I would look up when the pain from lumps of hair being pulled out of my skull would get too extreme, and ask her to please be gentle, because it hurts, and is also concerning. Instead of taking the feedback, and earning her overpriced service dollars, she lost it. She told me to be quiet, and threatened that she will abandon the service mid way. Imagine this: you're in the middle of a Brazilian blowout appointment, wet hair, half your hair has product, the other half doesn't. And you're told to shut up and stop complaining because you're in pain as your hair being butchered and you can feel it being yanked out of your skull. It's disgusting. And immature. And a sign that this person is not qualified to do this job. Afraid of her blowing up on me again, I stayed silent for the remainder of the appointment. I was screaming inside for hours as she kept pulling at my hair, yanking it out of my skull with every butcher-like strike at my head. I kept my mouth shut as her blow dryer was directed perpendicularly at my head and BURNED MY SCALP. I needed to use burn cream afterwards. I stayed silent as I saw her miss critical parts of my hair, knowing that these parts need more attention in order for the service to work. Not only that. I paid $550 of money she should not have earned, only to realize a day later, that the service didn't even work. It's as if no Brazilian blowout was even done. My hair was not straight. It was still curly at the roots in the front. Either she did not apply sufficient product to my hair or (more likely), the product she used was counterfeit. They dilute the product because the original Brazilian blowout is mostly out of stock in California. So they do this to keep getting clients, and increase the price. I've been doing Brazilian blowout regularly for the past 10 years. That's over 60 times. I know exactly how this service is done, and what your hair is supposed to look like afterwards. My hair had the exact same creases. It's as if the service never even took place. A waste of time, money, and most important, huge lumps of my hair. I also realized after medical consultations, that a huge chunk of my hair (in the back) was actually BURNED or BROKEN off because of the incorrect use of a "straightening iron." This happened within the 3-6 month period that I had been working with Crystal. I never use straightening irons or heating products at home. The only place where they are used are at the salon, while I'm doing Brazilian blowout. I came to this branch because I thought that being overpaid must also mean that you are qualified. I could not have been more wrong. Coming here has led to most of my hair being BROKEN off, thousands of dollars wasted, and deep regret. Do NOT come here. Even if it's the last place on Earth. You will be overcharged in order to lose all your hair, and get treated horribly. They truly do not deserve your business.

Just got the most fabulous haircut from Mehr!…read more I came in with a scary ask for any stylist: I wanted to chop I inches of my hair to donate it. Cue the alarms that would make most people quite nervous because every girl loves her hair, and you don't want to be caught between her and a "short hair don't care" gone wrong moment. Mehr made me feel comfortable from the start as it was very clear that she knew what she was doing. I got a deva cut and she also styled it afterwards using the deva products. I absolutely love how my hair came out. I'm so glad to have found a hair stylist in Sunnyvale that knows what they're doing with curls!!!! Cannot recommend Mehr enough. Wish my hair grew faster so she could make me look fabulous more often.

Though excited, I was extremely nervous to have my first Deva cut. However, any apprehension I had…read morewas lost nearly the moment I stepped into Mehr's salon. She asked insightful questions about my routine and products and helped me feel comfortable about trusting her with my curls. I assumed that I would need a "big chop" to prevent my curls from being weighed down, however she reassured me that a small trim would help with curl definition and shape and that if I wanted more cut after styling she would be happy to oblige. During the process, Mehr walked me through every step and gave numerous tips on how to speed up drying time and get more consistent results at home. She is extremely knowledgeable and patient while demonstrating methods for working with curly hair. She also provided both budget and high-end product recommendations and has been incredibly gracious in answering my questions both during the appointment and by email since then. Though I still haven't perfected the techniques Mehr demonstrated, I've noticed marked improvement in my hair since visiting her salon - and I'm so happy she convinced me to retain my length! I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Mehr to all my friends and family. I am so excited to have found such an amazing, friendly, talented curly-hair specialist in the South Bay!

When I met her, I immediately love her energy, her decorated studio, we hit it off right away. I love her honesty and I trust her opinions. She is straightforward, will tell you if something looks good or not. She offers many options that fits what you are looking for, she will tell you the plus and minus of different options. For me, a big chunk of grey is around my face plus some others scattered throughout. I wanted something low maintenance and no longer want to maintain a brown base color with highlights. I have dark hair naturally. I was tired of looking at brown hair and going lighter and lighter to just hide my grey while losing the shine to my hair. Paullette suggested I try money piece by bleaching the hair around my face to ashy silver and dye the rest of my hair dark brown. I was hesitant at first, but LOVE LOVE LOVE the result. I can embrace my whites, take advantage of it and have a trendy look instead of the typical white roots then dark hair chunky look. I can also let my whites go for longer and don't have to keep doing root touch ups. My hair looks healthier, shinier, look more trendy. I have gotten so many compliments. Thank you Paullette!

I'm extremely particular about who I trust with my hair, and I chose Shazleena because of her…read moreexcellent reviews. I went into my appointment feeling very confident that I was in good hands. Unfortunately, the haircut didn't turn out the way I expected. I asked for long layers, but the face-framing pieces ended up being cut into thick, chunky sections that didn't blend with the rest of my hair. They won't fit into a ponytail or flow into the rest of my haircut, making them frustrating to style. Even now, whenever I wear my hair up, I have to bobby pin those pieces to the sides of my head because they're too short to stay in my ponytail and otherwise just hang there awkwardly. Shazleena apologized and offered to fix the haircut at no charge, which I appreciated. However, after seeing the result of the original cut, I no longer felt comfortable having the same stylist correct it. Instead, I went to another stylist who had to blend and soften the chunky pieces so they looked somewhat natural again. That meant spending additional time and money to fix a haircut that should have been right the first time. I appreciate that she took responsibility and tried to make it right, but the experience left me disappointed and without the confidence to return.

I had my second appointment with Christy, and I'm very happy with my hair transformation!…read more My first appointment was focused on blending my previous brown/blonde color and grown-out dyed roots with my natural gray hair. The result was good, but I felt it was expensive for what I had requested, as blending my multi-colored hair while still making it look beautiful and natural took a lot of work. But I could tell Christy really knows what she's doing and now understood how my hair reacts, so I came back couple months later with a clearer vision. We communicated really well, and she gave me honest input on what would and wouldn't work. I asked her to push my dark, resistant hair as light as possible without damaging it, and she did an amazing job. My hair turned out beautiful, and I'm very happy with the result! My tip: communicate on the design you want clearly and discuss your expectations with Christy beforehand, and she'll be honest about what's achievable with your hair.
