    The result of my curly pixie haircut!
    Nakssie D.

    I found Tiffany on IG and the thing that stood out to me was her portfolio of wavy and curly hair, as a curly haired girlie it's hard to find a good hairstylist that does curly hair. Tiffany was extremely sweet and asked detailed questions about my hair, what I wanted it to look like, and when I got there went over my inspo pics again with me as well as understanding how my hair looks day to day to make sure it came out correctly according to my hair routine. She knocked it out of the park and even gave me bangs again!! It's always so tricky to find someone to do bangs for curly hair and I didn't want to push for it but Tiffany was so willing to do it and it came out amazing! I got there pixie curly haircut I wanted!! Thank you again Tiffany, if you're a fellow curly hair girl or wavy hair go to Tiffany!!

    Long layer cut
    Karla T.

    Is the bus! She was so kind and knew exactly what she was doing when I said I wanted long layers without taking any length off. The results were amazing. The studio is conveniently located in San Jose and has a lot of parking.

    before & after by tiffany :)

    needed a good chop after attempting to cut my own hair at home & tiffany was amazing! she gave me a thorough consultation & took into consideration my face shape, how i like to wear my hair on a daily basis, & even how often i like to style my hair. she was so thoughtful about it & checked in with me an appropriate amount of time during the process to make sure i liked it as well. i have very fine/sleek hair & she somehow gave it a bit more volume! also a great conversationalist so it made time go by faster :) overall super relaxing experience & will come back to tiffany for my next cut!

    My hair before service was done on it

    The stylist I went to (Maria) messed up my hair and now I don't know how to fix it. I went in hoping to do a calico hair look. I showed her pictures, and I went in to do a consultation + test strand. I specifically told her the colors I wanted, and how light I wanted the blonde to be. She said my hair pulled amazing and I could definitely get to the blonde I was hoping for. She mapped out how it was going to look, and I said that it was a little too chunky for me and I wanted it to be broken up more. She sent me a picture and asked if this is more what I was looking for. I said yes that is perfect! But she didn't change the mapping for my hair at all and literally just did the same thing as before. My hair has 8 total sections. She put like 4 inch money pieces of "blonde" in the front, (not at ALL what I wanted) and she put the "red" and the brown directly next to each other so it just looks like blonde, dark, blonde in the back. About the blonde, I literally was more blonde before I came. The blonde I received is literally just yellow. Not at all what I wanted. She toned down my blonde pieces, so now if I want to go more blonde I'm literally going to have to bleach it AGAIN. There was so much bleeding going on, and my hair is just splotchy all around. Considering the fact that I was there for 8 hours, (when she told me it would take her 6) and the fact that I paid almost $400, you'd think she would've did a better job. I'm also not even sure if she fully knew what she was doing bc she was also constantly asking the other stylists help/input in front of me. I didn't say anything once it was finished because I was there for 8 hours already and dropped $400 on it so I was hoping I would just warm up to it, but at the end of the day, it's not at all what I asked for and I'm extremely unhappy with it. There's days I don't even like to look at myself in the mirror because I just miss my old hair. Now I have to figure out how I'm gonna fix this mess and waste another $400 doing so. That is if they'll even be able to fix it‍ In the photos attached, the first photo is how my hair looked before, the second is what I received, and the third is the inspo pic I wanted.

    Before gloss treatment
    DeePee H.

    I have thin, dry frizzy hair due to menopause. I was depressed with my frizzy hair for years. Took a chance and went to Avanza. Maria was my stylist. She was very pleasant and suggested that I try a gloss and deep conditioning treatment, since doing a keratin treatment would weigh my thin hair down which is not what I wanted. Can't say how pleased I was after seeing my hair styled and radiant after she was done with the blowout!

    They have my daughter am awesome back to school gift after her bank to school hair cut.  Very sweet and thoughtful.  My daughter LOVED it!
    Jamila S.

    Took my daughter here for a back to school special, which is an amazing offer by the way. We normally have the owner style us, but experimented with a new stylist and we're so happy with the results. The salon is very clean, inviting, and fully stocked. Even stylists who weren't working with my daughter checked in on us. When we left my daughter was so excited about her hair cut she sent pictures to all her friends. I'm always a little hesitant to have new people work on me or my kids, but was very happy with the style and how patient Maria was with my kid. I'm looking forward to getting my hair done next!

    Luhanna A.

    My stylist was colorbymariia on IG... I went in to get my regular 7 week bleach touch up and she killed it!! I love how easy it was to park and lots of meal options near by. I love maria and definitely will be coming back!

    Dark purple/red color

    I was looking to color my hair a very dark purple/red color and was recommended by a friend to come support the salon. I was matched up with Itzel who did not disappoint! The salon was clean and there was plenty of parking and a shopping centers close by. And the price was great! For the service she provided she charged me $100 for full color dye, no bleach.

    I had such a wonderful experience at Limón with Martha. She was very patient and really listened to…read moremy hairstory and experiences at other salons. After years of blowdrying on high, flat ironing, teasing and generally punishing my fine locks, my hair is on the thinner side and just not as vibrant as it was years ago. I don't cut my hair very often. It's hard for me to trust stylists because so many of them just want to cut it all off and give me the standard layers with framing around my face which I really hate, so it takes all year to grow back. Well, meeting Martha at Limón really made me think that I may have found a stylist that understood. She listened and gave thoughtful, patient suggestions of what had worked for other clients. She understood that although I know I needed to cut off a good chunk of hair, I needed to take it slow. She gave me options, cutting off a bit then after blow drying, let me take a look and decide if I wanted to take off more. Seeing it dry made all the difference and I decided to take off a bit more and felt good about it. Often times I'll leave a salon thinking that it's ok only to get home and realize that too much had been cut and I'd have to wait months and months for it to grow back. Not this time. I felt good about it when I left, and days later when I washed and styled it myself which is kind of rare for me:) The salon is in a convenient location and has great snacks and drinks for their clients. They have a friendly atmosphere and an upbeat, stylish vibe that feels good without being pretentious. Looking forward to my next appointment. See you soon, Martha!

I asked for a rounded haircut with lots of layers and face-framing pieces and I showed her my inspo photos as well. She first washed my hair and then got started on the cut. Yessenia did an amazing job! She was friendly and professional and gave me exactly what I requested. I wasn't sure whether to go with lighter or heavier curtain bangs/face-framing pieces, and she knew exactly what would suit me when she suggested sticking with lighter face framing. She also somehow managed to style my frizzy Indian hair perfectly without using much tension on the brush, which was shocking to me.

Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who really knows what they're doing, actually listens, and creates an amazing overall experience.
