    On my 1st visit!
    Elizabeth L.

    I was previously going to Sunkissed Salon and was not able to get an appointment that worked for me with my original hairstylist, but the owner recommended me to Priscilla because had previously worked there and she is great as well. She is located at Base Salon in the Willow Glen area - they are in a strip plaza with plenty of parking in the neighborhood. You may make an appointment online, but make sure it is accepted / approved, so the best way to make an appointment is through text - she is very responsive to texts. I am selective and skeptical on who does / touches my hair because I had a handful of horrible hairstylists who messed up my hair in the past. Anyway, I made my first appointment with Priscilla almost 2 years ago and I am happy to finally be back - she did wonders for my hair and always made sure her clients are happy with their end result, or she will fix it. On my first visit with Priscilla, I came to her only a month after I had my hair done at another spot - my hair was poorly dyed, damaged, and already brassy from the other spot, so I was a bit nervous. Priscilla is friendly and pleasant to converse with, and she is honest about what she could and could not do as well. She makes me feel so at ease in the chair that I trust her and do not worry about the end result, so now when I come see her, I do not feel anxious or nervous at all like how I always feel at most of my hair appointments with other hairstylists. The biggest thing is she listens to what you like / want and gives you recommendations based on that, then tries her best to recreate your vision - she is one of the very few hairstylists I had (and I went though at least a dozen) Out of convenience and timing, I had been going to other salons that were closer to me to do / touch-up my hair in the past 2 years. Obviously, it was a mistake to choose convenience and go to those other spots - they were decent and not bad, but they definitely did not do as great a job as Priscilla does, so it is definitely worth it to make a trip down here (even though it takes me almost an hour to drive down here and over an hour, during traffic hours). My schedule often clash and sometimes, it may be a bit difficult and stressful to work around, as my free days / times are a bit last minute and random. Also, for my second visit - I made an appointment online for first available appointment because of my busy schedule and it was the only day / time that worked for me and it was with Priscilla's assistant, Chuc. She does a good job as well, as she was assisting Priscilla with my hair on my first original visit two years ago, so I was not too worried, but I originally wanted Priscilla because I started off with her. Anyway, I went about my day and I shortly received a text from Priscilla about it (like she read my mind, lol) and she gave me a list of her appointment availabilities, which included a lot more available dates for her returning clients, so I was able to book with her at a time that worked for me, which I appreciated.

    Priscilla and Chuc go above and beyond with their services at base salon. I've had multiple session with both girls and I've never been disappointed. Priscilla is extremely knowledgeable in hair and is an expert in navigating Asian hair! Absolutely nobody can beat their blend! Chuc is just as talented and delivers a 10/10 outcome every time. They treat me and my sister like family here and are very fair with their prices. They're always looking out for me and convince me to walk out of the salon a bit more ash so that my tone will last longer. The #1 place to get your hair done in the Bay Area! I highly recommend and trust these women!

    After not coloring my hair for close to 6 years Priscilla has given me exactly what i had hoped for!!! She and her entire team is so sweet and professional! I cant wait to go back and add more dimension/highlights soon. Thank you Priscilla - you are now my go to!

    I've been getting my hair done by Priscilla for many years now! She is super friendly, personable and understands how to approach my hair. She recommends options for me after accessing my hair to keep it in good shape. I've done babylights and balayage and she's gotten my hair from blonde to dark depending on the season. I trust her to do what she thinks looks best. I'm always satisfied with my hair color and leave the salon feeling refreshed! Her salon is bright and clean and her assistant is friendly and helpful! I would highly recommend Priscilla to deliver amazing service and hair!

    I have been going to Priscilla since 2018 and never looked back! Priscilla and her assistant, Chuc make an amazing team. They communicate and work well together to meet their clients needs. They are super sweet, knowledgeable, and efficient. I'm very low maintenance so I love that I only need to visit 2-3 times a year and my hair still looks great! 100000/10 would recommend!! You will not be disappointed! These girls are the best in the bay!!

    I've been going to Priscilla for years, from Sunkissed Salon, to Honey Studio, and now Base Salon. I think I heard her talk to her assistant about formulas so it seems like she keeps a record of what was previously used on your hair so she knows what she needs to do to achieve the look you want the next time you come in. I was too lazy to drive all the way to San Jose for a hair appointment so I opt for someone closer to me and I regret it. I asked for babylights but the finish product looked very one dimensional. After this experience, I know to never stray away from Priscilla. I know I will leave with amazing hair every time I'm in her chair.

    I've been going to Priscilla since she was at Sunkissed Salon and followed her to Honey Studio and now Base Salon. She is extremely talented and is an expert in navigating Asian hair! She has done balayage, baby lights, and foliage on my hair while still retaining the integrity of my hair. I always have a great experience at the salon. Priscilla and Chuc are both very friendly and make me feel comfortable. They take excellent care of my hair, and the results are always amazing! I highly recommend.

    March 2017 Balayage on Virgin Hair
    Veronica N.

    Priscilla is the bomb. I came to her with virgin hair in 2017 and have been going to her since. She's honest about what she can or can't do for you but trust the process and you'll get to where you want to be. It took me a like 2-3 sessions until I started getting as light as I wanted to be. I also trust her enough to take the reins for the sessions but give her a little idea of the direction I want to go. She's also super patient because your girl got thicc ass hair. She's a one woman team! By appointment only, so gotta book her early to snag a spot ! For more of her work, go to @hairbypkilla on Instagram Service - 5 / Ambiance - 5 / Price - 4

    I've been going to Priscilla (@hairbypkilla on Instagram) since she was at Sunkissed Salon and she's definitely very talented. She has done balayage and babylights on my hair and my hair is still healthy after bleaching 3 times! She has taken me lighter and lighter with each session while still retaining the integrity of my hair. I can't wait til my hair is light enough to try ash lavender! Priscilla is so sweet and will offer you snacks and drinks during your appointment cause you'll be there for a few hours, lol. She will also give you the remote for the tv while she works on your hair, so you'll be entertained. I hands down recommend Priscilla if you're looking for a hair stylist. Her work is amazing! Check out her work on Instagram at @hairbypkilla

    I found Priscilla on Instagram after my hair appointment with another salon fell through. I decided to try Honey Studio because the photos looked very similar to the color I was trying to achieve. Priscilla was very responsive and flexible to getting me my appointment. I went with her suggestion to fix my hair color after it had grew out from the pandemic. I was hesitant on coloring my hair again, because so much of my hair fell out after my last coloring session at a different salon, but I'm so glad I decided to go for it! My experience at the salon was really great. Priscilla and her assistant were both very friendly and made me feel very comfortable (covid safety). They checked in on me frequently and let me know what step they were on. Not to mention, the color turned out absolutely amazing and is the closest I've gotten to my hair goals!! Even a few days after, my hair still felt healthy. Thank you so much for the beautiful color!

    Ash brown. She nails it every time!
    Dayna Z.

    Priscilla (aka Pkilla) is beyond amazing! She will be honest with what she is able to do & will not sugar coat it. I've known her since 2016 & she's never done my hair wrong. Love her! Would totally recommend her! I would recommend booking your appointments ASAP before she closes her books to new clients! You'll be sorry if you don't!

    Tah daaaah! Love it! TYSM P!

    Priscilla is a hair goddess, hands down! She knows her stuff and kills it EVERY TIME! Being the workaholic, tired mom of 3 that I am, I neglect my hair for months and call P up for some hair miracle! She brings me back to life each time! She is professional, uses the best products, takes her time and her studio is clean and inviting! I love how personal it feels when you book with her, and she's super cool to talk too! I do highly recommend Honey Studio by Priscilla to all my friends and family! Thanks so much for always reviving me!

    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.

    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!

    Please save your hard earned money. Deborah thinks more highly of herself than anyone else. I went…read moreto her thinking I was going to the best. Showed her what I wanted...dark roots and balayage. After advising if what she could do (with a whole bunch of animated behavior bragging about her abilities), I walked out after 10hrs (!!) with half done hair. Just bleached, no color/toner. Meanwhile, I had a super important meeting 3 days later that I had to be ready to present at. I looked like a frizzled mess!!! She burnt my hair to a crisp. I begged her for an appt before my meeting, even though she was supposed to finished everything day 1, and she kept me for an additional 7 hours. When I say my hair was burnt, I'm not exaggerating. It's taken over a year to grow my hair out. I never even got what I wanted. She gave my uneven blonde highlights...not the dark roots and balayage that I'd requested. And yes, I took a whole bunch of pictures in. All in, I paid $2K CASH...bc she refuses to take anything else so I assume she doesn't pay taxes. Plus I paid over $500 in treatment products to help heal my hair since. I was embarrassed to leave the house. All I heard from her own mouth was how great she was. I think she's great at extensions but definitely not bleaching dark hair. I had healthy hair going in, she has messed it up so much that my hair is STILL breaking and it's been over a year. Please avoid at all costs. Go to a proper studio. Funny thing is not only does she only take cash, but she INCLUDES her own MANDATORY 20% tip...isn't a tip based on services rendered?? You've been warned.

She didn't do the job correctly in the first attempt so I asked for an another appointment. I was very clear that I only color the part which shows gray hair but in the second appointment, instead of fixing the old problem , she thought it's easier to apply the color on the whole scalp. I kept telling her not to touch roots but she had her own explanations and continued to do what seemed correct to her. Now the results are : I have itchy scalp with lots of dandruff and roughness , specially the bottom part of my hair is badly damaged. Tremendous amount of hair fall which I never had in my life (clearly the color she applied had something in it ). Even though she said it's ammonia free, but while she was applying this color, I told her this is the first time I am feeling the itchiness and headache but her answer was , "oh I don't know why you feeling this way, it's probably your skin". She couldn't even get rid of black spots from my forehead after the wash. Although it wasn't the first time that I requested ammonia free hair color from this salon but it would definitely make me never going back there .
