    Jonathan did an amazing job with my hair! He listens to what I'm trying to achieve and mixes up the perfect color. From the hair color to trimming and styling I would 10/10 recommend him! The salon is so welcoming and both Jonathan and Vanessa are so kind, I am very satisfied with the quality of service

    I have been going to Jonathan for 15 years, and I truly can't imagine trusting my hair with ANYONE else!!!! He has taken care of me through every phase, every color, every cut, and every hair emergency with so much patience, skill, and love. Jonathan doesn't just do hair, he genuinely cares about his clients. Most recently, he literally rescued my HORRIBLE extensions when they were an absolute disaster. He fixed what felt unfixable, made my hair look beautiful again. Every appointment feels like being looked after by my big brother, he listens to you, and wants you to feel confident when you leave. Jonathan is consistent, extremely talented, honest, and incredibly gifted at what he does. After 15 years, he's not just my hairstylist, he's someone I trust completely. If you're lucky enough to sit in his chair, you're in the BESTTT hands possible.

    Vanessa has been my hairstylist since 2019. She is very knowledgable, experienced, professional and would give wonderful hair advice to all her clients. There is no one I trust my hair than her. She is very patient and bubbly. Great listener and cracks everyone up! I tell her what I want and I let her do her magic touch Pic below does not justify how beautiful my balayage was done. I got a lot of compliments already. I love the place, clean, plenty of parking and most of all good ambiance.

    Jonathan is a miracle worker!!! Hands down the best hair styling I have ever experienced. He was able to hear my vision and make it a reality. Seriously grateful for how confident my new hair makes me feel! Thanks Jonathan!!

    uneven separation/ bleach on the black side which was very noticeable when it slightly grew out

    He was nice but it was $300+ to bleach half my head with one round of lvl 20 developer and some toner... and there was bleach on the wrong side of my hair so when it grew out more it looked really obvious and messy. My hair has been dyed black before so i understood it wouldn't be able to go as light as I wanted, but i ended up bleaching my hair more at home and it looked just how I wanted it, for under $40 :/ I wouldve understood the price more if there was a bit more effort put in but my hair wasn't even separated properly and the line was not straight.

    Partial lighting and trim

    I am one busy mama and I finally got some time to pamper myself. I haven't done my hair in years so I was a bit nervous but Jonathan made my experience sooooo amazing. His studio is super clean, vibrant and relaxing. I really enjoyed my time there and he did complete magic to my hair. I am in love with it and receiving so many complements already. Would definitely recommend Jonathan to everyone.

    Jonathans hands work MAGIC. All my life I always resorted to dark hair and I took the leap of faith and decided this mama needed to change things up and in just two visits we were able to bring me to the blonde side! From start to finish, Jonathan ensures that you are comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process and his work speaks for itself! My forever hair stylist! Always excited for my visits and coming out looking and feeling like a million bucks!

    Absolutely amazing! I have been coming to Vanessa for close to 8 years now and I won't go to anyone else. Vanessa is extremely knowledgeable and my hair has always looked incredible! She is very realistic about expectations but yet is always able to go above and beyond. The salon is very cozy and quiet but with the best ambiance! Plenty of parking is a HUGE plus (as well as a tasty boba place next door). I definitely recommend Aura!

    I've been going to Jasmine for over 20 years, and can't say enough great things about her! She…read morealways listens to what I have in mind for my hair, is amazingly adept at beautiful cuts, and is an expert colorist! I first started seeing Jasmine when she was the go-to stylist for blondes in Los Gatos, and for years, she helped me maintain a beautiful honey blonde. Then, she helped me transition to a deep brunette, and I love it as much as the blonde she built! Book an appointment with her -- you won't be disappointed.

    If you're searching for a new hairstylist, look no further!…read more I found Andi on TikTok/IG and decided to try his services back when he was still in cosmetology school. He took the time to assess my hair and helped guide me through understanding the style I wanted. He did such an amazing job that I followed him here to The Studio. This time, I wanted to try something new and requested a shag haircut with lots of texture. Let me just say, he delivered!!! He even styled it in different ways, both blown out and curled, so I could see how versatile the cut was. Response Time: Quick turnaround. Consultation: Even if you don't know the proper hair terminology, Andi is able to understand exactly what you're looking for with just a few reference photos and your explanation. He'll also be honest if a certain idea may not turn out the way you envision it, which I really appreciate. Feeling like a Pinterest model. My next appointment is already booked!

    Finally got to get a curly cut from the amazing Gissell and let me tell you she did not disappoint…read more The salon itself is super cutesy, the front staff was lovely she offered me a beverage and checked me in super quickly. There's so much to look at from the wall of products to the screen on the side playing super helpful tips and product recommendations. Gissell is not only incredibly talented in the craft of curly cuts but she is such a sweet person in general. I felt comfortable sharing past experiences as well as what I wanted this time. She listened to each and every concern I had and every step of the way made sure I was happy with the outcome. The curly cut I chose had wash and style in it and wow that conditioner massage was too good! She let me know all the products she was using on my hair as well as giving me tips on how to style my hair and what products to use at home!! Which I so appreciated because taking care of curly hair is hard! I've gotten a curly cut before and it was nowhere near this good. I will certainly be back and I can't wait to hang out with Gissell again in a couple months!

    I recently visited Fox & Rose Salon for a color service with Rachael. I had a consultation…read morebeforehand where we discussed my hair history and the look I wanted. The salon's website encouraged clients to share their full hair history, and I did that because I know color can be difficult to get right. Based on our conversation, I left with the understanding that achieving my desired result would not be an issue. I want to say that I really like the salon itself. The space is lovely, the atmosphere is positive, the staff are welcoming, and the client experience feels thoughtful. Unfortunately, the color service was very disappointing. I came in with grown-out, uneven color and asked for an overall lighter golden brown with a dimensional dusty rose balayage. I also brought reference photos to the appointment. The final result was not close to what we discussed. Instead of a soft, blended look, my hair had stripe-like sections, and the rose tone faded almost immediately. Five days later, after only one wash, all of the pink is gone, and the color still looks uneven and brassy in places. See attached photos (the pink reference is what I asked for and the other 2 photos are what I got). What was most frustrating was the lack of discussion at the end of the appointment. It seemed clear that the result was not what I had asked for, but I was not shown the back of my hair, and there was no real conversation about the outcome or possible next steps. I did not raise it in the moment because I had already been there for several hours and wanted time to look at it fully before judging the final result. For a service that cost over $700, I expected something more polished and aligned with the consultation. I understand that hair coloring is not an exact science, but I do think it is important to be realistic about what can be achieved and to address it openly when the outcome does not match the client's expectations. I may still return to Fox & Rose for a haircut because I genuinely liked the salon environment! For color services, though, I would just caution clients to be very clear about expectations, share their full hair history, and be prepared that the result may not match what was discussed.

    Respectfully, you know what you've written below is not accurate. Yes, you do a zoom consult…read more That's true. But the rest, nope. You are strictly cash and frankly not as great as you portray. I can give more details of what else went wrong but I choose not to give myself away for privacy reasons. My post is simply to make buyers beware. Buyers at this point can judge for themselves. You may have changed your process since my appt but I'm truthful with my experience.

    Deborah did an amazing job getting the brassiness out of my hair and got it blonder than anyone has…read moreever been able to! I had about 5 appointments with a high end colorist in SF that never got it anywhere close to what I wanted! Everyone told me it wasn't possible but Deborah did it on the first appointment. I've been growing out my natural gray but I still have a lot of brown so I'm mostly trying to go for a cool toned bright blonde/white so it blends more with my roots as they grow out so I can go longer between appointments. I don't want my hair to look like a natural gray, I still want it to have a pop and feel current. Deborah was honest about what would work in our video consultation, as well as with pricing upfront. She also told me how to take care of it moving forward and what is need to do at home to maintain the cool tone. It look a long time (about 7-8 hours) but she is extremely precise and detailed at her work and it clearly shows. Thank you, Deborah!

My girl friends have been…read moreraving about Nancy for the last few years, and I finally had the urge to change my hair color and to pink of all colors lol I knew I had to get someone GOOD and with a lot of experience, and that's Nancy Yo, he's been at it for 25 years, and when you book, you get HER, NOT an assistant or anyone in training. I am super freaking picky but I think she got me and what i wanted. She also taught me how to take care of the hair after. She's also just really fun to talk to (i HATE chatting while getting a hair cut lol), and I got to turn on my favorite show for this 4-5hour coloring lol (black to pink!) Anyway, it was so worth the drive up from San Francisco haha. Also you're surrounded by good viet food and she can give you her recs too hehehe!!

Everytime I go to different salons from looking at pictures online, they have their assistants do most of the work while they oversee the assistants. I think this sucks because i'm paying for service from the professional and not their assistants! I messaged Nancy on instagram and she was very prompt with her response and helped fix and achieve the hair color that I wanted. Nancy is really welcoming and super nice. She does everything by herself so you don't have to worry about an assistant doing the entire process. Highly Recommend if you're looking for a good hair stylist!
