So happy the salon is finally reopen and they are doing a such a great job of keeping everything and everyone safe during COVID. Alondra is absolutely amazing!! I've always gone to her and I swear she has magic hands. My balayage and cut this visit turned out incredible. It was so good to see her after so long. She always listens to what I ask for and delivers beautiful results. read more

I've been going to Anna at Atelier since 2014 and just to update on my previous review, my hair relationship with Anna is still going strong. We've been through short hair cuts, long hair cuts, ombres, blondes, and even purples. She also embraces the fact that I'm a low hair maintenance kinda gal. You would think that a low maintenance hair gal can't have purple hair or blonde hair, but I did and it was fab. Even after COVID hit, when Atelier was able to open back again last fall, Anna fit me in for a cut and color. I was a bit scared to venture out to the public but I felt completely safe and comfortable with all their implemented precautions. I've recommended countless friends and coworkers to her and they say nothing but the best. I can't wait for my next session!! read more

I like their timings. They are available early in the day to late night. It's easy to book or cancel. I had appointments with three different salon artist and they were all amazing. read more

I loved my experience at Atelier. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. I liked the aveda products that they use. McKenzie was my hairstylist, she listened to what I had in mind and created the most beautiful haircut! She is super awesome and I highly recommend read more

Atelier Studio - Haircut by McKenzie! - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

I booked an appointment with McKenzie for my daughter to have a haircut with her for the first time since other reviewers are saying she is very good at cutting layers, and yes, she did a fantastic job creating beautiful layers for my daughter's hair just like the pictures I showed. The salon is very nice, the receptionist is so nice and everyone in the salon is walking around with the smile on their face making our visit so pleasure.

My daughter is very happy with her new hair, thank you so much, I will book for my haircut soon, this is Chloe using my husband account to review. read more

Atelier Studio - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

I had been searching for a new hairstylist and happened upon Anna on Instagram. I am SO glad I did! She is so kind, funny, and always manages to create the perfect look with my hair! She is a Pixie Cut Extraordinaire! On top of that, the salon is always a relaxing experience. They offer tea or water when I get there, and I always get a scalp massage when I go in for a cut. I've had color done here too, and it always turns out great. Thank you Atelier and Anna! read more

McKenzie is A-maxing!! She truly listened to what I wanted and put her spin to my layer cut! Love love love! read more

The experience at the salon is highly recommended. I am always happy with my haircut and color and it is a very relaxing experience as well. Leyla is a great hairstylist! read more

I was suppose to get my hair cut and colored on my birthday in March, but Covid happened and everything shut down. Now that things are re-opening I was really happy to hear that Atelier in Santana Row was open for business. I quickly made appointment with any senior stylist and was able to get Ana - she did an awesome job on my cut and color. I wanted something manageable and easy - especially since I have the non-traditional Asian hair (fine and naturally curly). I also selected this salon, because I know its quality is always top notch and the staff, along with their manager, really care about the patrons. This really matters to me during this time in the pandemic. We really need to know people are taking cleanliness with the utmost seriousness, and this salon does. Thank you again Ana for my awesome hair... read more

Atelier Studio - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

I got a Keratin treatment and within 3 weeks, my hair was back to normal. I've had Keratin treatment for years and generally it lasts 5-6 months because I am careful with products and care. I'm extremely disappointed that after spending close to $500, the treatment I received only lasted a few weeks. I'm pretty sure I was given a Keratin express even though I requested and paid for the full Keratin. I shared a picture of my hair with the salon and was told it's normal (which isn't the case!). Now I'll have to spend another $500 and go to another salon to get the treatment. I expected more from Aveda! What a waste! All I have to say is be careful coming here! read more

Veff is the best! I have been looking for someone who I could count on to listen to what I want but also give tips on the best styles for my face shape and am so lucky to have met Veff. She is thoughtful, thorough, and meticulous. Aside from being such a great stylist, she is a wonderful and genuine person. She is so easy to talk to and I can't say enough good things about her. I always walk out with a smile after she's cut my hair and know I'm in good hands with her. The service from start to finish, from checking in with the lovely front desk lady to the haircut, is awesome. read more

Celine is the best! For almost ten years I was trying to get "the look" and in my last try I went to Atelier for the first time. I was scheduled with Celine and "Oh, was I lucky!" She did a fantastic job in coloring my hair blonde with some highlights. My hair is very difficult because I'm a senior with very little and thin hair. I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair like I've this time. Marta D. read more

Been coming here for 10 years to see Kim. She gives one of the best men's haircuts I've ever had. Very attentive. Highly recommend.

5:30pm on a Monday evening and so decided I wanted to get a haircut - stat! I called a few places in the area and many 1) didn't have any openings for the night 2) close at 7pm, or 3) are $70+ for a haircut. Then I called Atelier Aveda. The receptionist greeted me warmly, answered all my question, and directed me to their location. Perfect! I had booked an appointment at 8pm. I was surprised they were open until 9pm and grateful for their flexibility with me. Once I arrived, I was greeted by smiling staff and offered tea/water. Then I met Kate. I had a particular hair style in mind and she definitely worked with me to help me achieve just what I wanted. She is AMAZING! So thoughtful. (I've had experiences with hair stylists that decide to do what they think is "cute" with my hair without my consent). We began with a scalp massage (choose between peppermint and lavender oils), followed by a wash using Aveda products, and finally the haircut. The entire process took about an hour and we had some good conversation all though out. The cost for a haircut starts at $55 (tip not included) and may be adjusted according to length / thickness of hair. Even for a broke college student like myself, I find that very very reasonable and I will definitely be back soon. Thank you Kate!!!

Atelier Studio - Before: Long, thick hair. After: "lob" (long bob), a-line with slight layers - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

This place keeps getting better. I've been seeing Anna now for almost a decade. She's consistent, quick, and I can always trust that she'll keep my hairstyle fresh and up-to-date. Although I appreciate a quick cut when I'm short on time, that's not why I come here. The location on The Row is fun -- I always feel like I'm treating myself to something nice when I go, and that's rare for me. The interior has recently seen a modern makeover of sorts, and with that, the low key fire playlist and the courteous staff, the vibes are always immaculate. read more

I came in and had my hair cut and washed by Frances. The cut was quick and I'm very happy with it. Will definitely go back!

I would follow Frances anywhere! She's incredibly conscientious and takes the time to work out what's best for your personal style as well as your lifestyle. I've seen her for both cuts and color and always leave the salon feeling happy and thankful that she understands I need a hairstyle that is on-trend but also relatively low maintenance. Frances takes great pride in her work and it shows. read more

I've been coming to Atelier for close to 6 years now. I've been seeing Celine since the beginning. She is absolutely amazing!! Before her I had some serious trust issues with stylists in the past. But after my first visit with Celine, I knew I had someone who I could trust. She helped get my hair in shape for my wedding and did my hair the day of. She has seen me through so many color changes I've lost count. From funky colors to blonding and everything in between, all the while keeping my hair healthy. Aside from her hair skills, Celine is an absolute doll! She's easy to talk to and makes every appointment something to look forward to. read more

I've been going to this salon for 10 years and have seen three stylists--all the stylists have been amazing. This review is for what I feel is an unreasonable policy of charging 100% fee for late-notice cancellation -- the first time I've had to do this due to work emergency -- with no consideration for 10 years of loyalty and a number of referrals. Again, the quality of service is very good. Unfortunately I will be looking for another salon that understands a genuine good relationship with customers goes both ways. read more

A few months ago I came to the wonderful salon with some major hair issues!! The staff here was so kind and non judgmental of my hair situation, they are a caring group of people! Flash forward to now, this place is my go to and Frances is my forever hairstylist! She does an amazing job as does everyone that works there! read more

Worst possible service at Atelier Studio Santana Row. Beware of the tricks they play with the customer. The stylists change schedules at their own will on the day of appointment but don't offer customers the same flexibility. The Stylist Cady and the Manager Margo tricked us into charging a higher cancellation fee last time around. They rescheduled the appointment without letting us know and and then charged the whole amount because we showed up at our original booking time. Their service has also deteriorated over the last years. There are other really nice salons at the Row. I have changed to W's and it has worked wonders. Highly discourage going at Atelier Studio Santana Row. read more

Frances is amazing! She truly is a natural when it comes to being an artist with hair. I would highly recommend her! She's the best!

My last experience here was awful and the front desk employees are useless. For Christmas my husband walked in to get me a gift card for my hair. "Extended Cut and partial highlight." Front desk pulls up my account for him, sees the stylist I go to and says "250". A couple months later I go to make my appointment. I see that the appointment app doesn't list extended cut with partial highlight, so I decided to call to make sure I booked the right thing. The girl doesn't know how to do it, and puts me on hold to talk to a manger. 10 minutes later I realize she's forgotten about me, so I hang up and call back. Repeat everything I already said about needing the extended cut. We find an appointment but it's at 6pm. She tells me they close at 9pm and given my extended cut and my long hair she will need to text the stylist to make sure it's enough time and let me know if we need to change the appointment time. So she's Acknowledging that I may need more than 3 hours. I'm then told it's $290, so I say okay maybe the girl who helped my husband just made a mistake. I go in and when all is done to pay the woman at the front says I my appointment was never booked for an extended cut and I will now need to pay $325. What!!?!?! I love my cut, but that was ridiculous and I was overcharged and not once, not twice but three times I was told a different price for the same service requested each time. I'll never go back. They are the only place that can cut my hair well but after that experience I'll take my chances elsewhere. read more

If you want to spend a lot of money then by all means go to Atelier Studio. If you value your financial status then stay away from Atelier. The designer that I worked with couldn't seem to get my highlights right and when I attempted to correct the problem she became arrogant and rude. Things are great when you throw cash at them, yet that's not what a hair cut should be about. I consider this salon to be unprofessional. I'm sorry that I gave them the opportunity to do my hair. Sometimes lessons can be expensive. read more

I had an amazing experience at the salon, LEYLA is fantastic!!!Sweet & professional. She knows her stuff! I couldn't stop looking in the mirror to see my new hair style. Also she explained me so well how to style and treat my hair. She is so perfectionist! read more

Just an update to say I have recently been going to Maribel and she's super amazing as well! And great to talk to :)

My experience at Atelier has been amazing, front reception ladies are always welcoming. Leyla has done my hair for some time, she is kind, patient and always tries to help me achieve the color and style I want. Adelina read more

I have been coming to this salon for years, but covid has made me reevaluate my relationship with most services I used to enjoy. In the summer of 2022, when most businesses no longer do anything to make sure their services are accessible to people of all health profiles, Atilier stands out for still showing they care. I went for a 3 hr hair relaxing treatment and hair cut. About 75% of staff were wearing high filtration masks. I dont know if the salon owner supplies them for staff or what, but I hope this continues. They also have a large hepa after running in the back of the salon. I felt more safe here that in most places. Thank you for making sure that high risk an immunocompromised individuals and families have a place to get their hair cut. Hair cut and blow out were excellent as usual, but if there were no covid mitigations in place, I would not have returned. read more

This is a review for Chelsea, who cut and styled my hair + keratin therapy. Thank you for such a great experience and for pampering me to the nines. I feel hot AF. If you need a great cut with ambience and good company and style, I highly recommend Chelsea. read more

I've been going to Atelier for about two years now. I am so pleased to have found a group of professionals who take pride in their work, are friendly, accommodating, and skilled. Highly recommend Atelier Salon. Special shout-out to Masaya and Frances and the front desk staff!! read more

The experience begins at the front desk, where Alice, with her wonderful personality and outstanding customer service skills greets you. My appointment with Anna insures I'm going to love my haircut. She asks and listens to what I want each time. She never just assumes what I might want. And the blowout is always pleasing, assuring I don't get in the car and restyle it, something I did before finding Anna Johnson. I'm a very happy client! read more

I've been going to Anna for the past few years and she has become my go-to for haircuts. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially people who like shorter hairstyles. She always nails my sometimes vague descriptions and has come to understand my tendency to constantly change my hair (both cut and color) With her I have had pixie cuts and grown them out multiple times and always felt confident and looked good. With her, there were no awkward in-between stages. Knowing that the haircut and color will always be excellent, makes it worth going to Anna. read more

Wow, it's been 10 years since I've been going to Atelier Studio. My previous artists have left Atelier so I've been seeing Alondra and Celine (when Alondra wasn't available). I've also brought my daughter a few times for haircuts, and it's such a treat for her. Alondra and Celine are both great artists. I've loved seeing them for my monthly appointments, pre-COVID. They are friendly, talented, and so sweet! I just want to say that I appreciate Atelier's updates during COVID. Atelier's service is top notch. I've had the pleasure of corresponding with Alice who is helpful and wonderful. As long as they are in business, I'm a customer for life! read more

Atelier Studio is a must! Frances gave my hair the life it craved and made feel like I was chatting with my best friend.

Great experience tonight with Maribel. I enjoyed the time, her easygoing conversation, and the end result (cut and style).

I had a Groupon for $50 worth of service so I gave it a try with Alicia. Plus it was my first time here. I schedule an appointment through their online website. First of all, I set the appointment at 8 am, now not a lot of salon are open at 8 in the morning. Alicia arrive a little late but I didn't mind waiting in the nice lobby. They have a lounge area with refreshment and a restroom. Start of the session, she ask what I was looking for. I really felt like she listen to what I was saying. Then she ask what my favorite smell of the 3 choices: lavender, shampoo, and mint. I went with shampoo. Alicia gives an amazing head massage. She wash my hair and took her time. It took appropriately an hour with her but worth it. I'll definitely come back to Atelier Salon with Alicia. read more

Kim cut my hair and did a lovely job! (I'm not local to the area but I am down here helping my sister move into her new rental and I really wanted to have a haircut as it had been such a long time since my last one.) She has now gained a permanent client! I told her exactly what it was that I wanted and showed her a picture and she delivered. I was very inspired by the current hair trends in Korea, particularly by the artist, IU. Now I am so happy to have those beautiful long layers added to my hair! I truly feel like a new person and the confidence boost is great after feeling drab for so long! Can't wait to see Kim again for another haircut and possible color in about 6 months! :) (My mother also loved my fringe so much after the haircut that she immediately made an appointment after to get hers done at the salon!) read more

See all

DONT go here. The receptionist and actual workers were nice but I did not get what I wanted at all and still paid $400. When I came in I showed specific photos that I wanted and asked if it is possible during the consultation so I know I'm not wasting mine or their time and they said "yes it will definitely be noticeable you got your hair done and we will try to get to the color you want." I asked for an all over brown color with silver to light blonde highlights that look like the photo. Did not listen to what I wanted and just gave me highlights and didn't touch my overall base. Still paid full price of a full color and what I was originally quoted for just for highlights. I came into first session. Looked like nothing changed at all. I hate complaining and never wrote a review before but I started crying in the chair bc it was not worth the money when my hair was still dark! The stylist sort of gaslighted me saying that she sees the change and explains she didn't think my hair would lighten but before she put on the toner it was completely blonde. When I've had my hair done before in a different place my hair was really light and healthy. Second time around she offered to re do it because I was so upset about my hair but struggled because I didn't want to be mean. Didn't charge me for fixing it but even when she fixed it you can't tell me it looks like what I wanted. Also! It was not at all even. When you lift the top layer there is no highlights at all under and one side has more highlights than the other. Lastly, I later find out a friend had the same experience where she saw no change and had to come back. Time is money. Wasted my time and my money. read more

Atelier Studio - Hair color-- wanted all over color with highlights gave me only highlights. Barely any change - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

Went here per a friend's recommendation. Products are great, but the stylist who cut my hair left my cut very choppy, blunt, and uneven. I asked her to fix one area at the end, it ended up worst. I didn't want to make a big scene out of it, so I said it's fine the way it is to get out of the chair. I ended up going elsewhere to have it fixed. They begin the session with a scalp/neck massage, mine was not even 2 minutes and felt like she didn't even try. Not worth the $80. Hairstylist was friendly, but that doesn't make up for the result of the haircut. I'm still upset thinking about it. read more

I am new to SJ and was hoping to find a high-quality salon at a reasonable price. Guess what? I found all this at Atelier with my stylist Jordan! Jordan was amazing, she was so friendly and explained every detail of the appointment with me. I really felt like she listened to what I wanted and cared deeply about giving me the cut I wanted. Jordan was also really kind about the fact that I had experimented with cutting/coloring at home, and then helped me fix it. I feel beyond lucky to have found her and this place on my first try. I will definitely make it my regular spot. Thank you, Jordan! read more
