I was in search of a new stylist with reasonable prices and decided to give this salon a chance…read moreafter reading great reviews. My stylist was Stephanie she was very knowledgeable and was able to match my highlights to what my previous stylist was doing with my hair for only $400... which is less than I was being charged in Los Altos. I can't recommend Stephanie enough she also gave me great advice on products I should be using and how to care for my new color!

I've been going to J59 (back when it was JulieQ in Mountain View) for over 15 years, so this review…read moreis especially disappointing for me to write. This was the first time I decided to get partial highlights. During my consultation, Stephanie recommended a color approach that sounded good, so I moved forward with both a haircut and highlights appointment. , What surprised me was that they did the haircut first and fully blow-dried my hair to check the cut before starting the highlighting process. After the highlights were applied, my grays still weren't covered, so they did an additional touch-up. That meant my hair was blow-dried multiple times in a single appointment, including after bleaching. I left with hair that felt significantly drier than before. I was also unhappy with the initial color result because the highlights looked patchy. To their credit, the salon contacted me and offered to bring me back for a correction, which I appreciated. At the follow-up appointment, Stephanie showed me a chocolate brown highlight color and asked if I liked it. I said yes, and she explained that a toner would be an easy fix. After the toner was applied, however, the highlights were essentially no longer visible. I have naturally dark hair, and now it looks very close to my original color. The end result is that after multiple chemical processes, multiple rounds of heat styling, several hours in the salon, and over $300 spent, I no longer have visible highlights, and my hair feels dry, brittle, and damaged. I appreciate that the salon attempted to correct the issue, but unfortunately, the final result left me disappointed. After more than 15 years as a customer, this experience has made me feel like I need to look elsewhere for future color services.

A long overdue review, but Yeye did an amazing job cutting my hair. I usually wait a long time…read morebetween haircuts, so I was in the search for a new hairstylist and stumbled on her via Yelp. Her appointments were booked out a few weeks in advance, but I was willing to wait based on all of the positive experiences that people have had with her. Booking online was super easy and straightforward. When I got there, we discussed what kind of haircut I wanted and she was very helpful with her suggestions; I was looking for a Korean-style haircut with long layers with face-framing. She is also very knowledgable about trending styles, since she's studied/practiced in Vietnam and Korea before. She did a great job with my haircut and made it feel super light and healthy, perfect timing right before summer. I really also liked the products that she used too, they smelled so good, and she finished off my haircut with a blowout/curls. I love my haircut and will definitely be returning again!

Yeye was great. She took the time to understand what I was looking for instead of just giving me a…read morestandard haircut. The conversation was easy and enjoyable, and I was really happy with how the cut turned out. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be back. I've been seeing Yeye for about two years now, and that's probably the best endorsement I can give. I've gone back consistently because she always does a great job and takes the time to understand what I'm looking for. She remembers my preferences, pays attention to the details, and never makes the experience feel rushed. Yeye really listens instead of defaulting to a generic haircut. She's easy to talk to, the conversation is always enjoyable, and I leave happy with the result every time. Great stylist, great person, and someone I'd confidently recommend to anyone looking for a new barber/stylist.

I've been with Thy for over a decade. She's been there for me through multiple life events and…read morecountless hair transformations. I still remember what first drew me in - and what probably drew you in to read this review: endless photos of gorgeous, luscious, silky, perfectly dimensional colored hair that looked like it was done by a celebrity stylist. She's only gotten more skilled over the years, and her clientele more loyal. Thy's work always feels classy, polished, and effortlessly luxurious -- never overdone, never trendy in a way that feels temporary. There's an elegance in how she colors hair and styling that makes the final result look timeless. Not only is she an artist, but she listens carefully, takes everything you say into consideration, and also gives honest, expert advice -- including when the answer is, "No, I'm not going to bleach your whole head of hair." You can immediately tell she has a quiet, resolute dedication to delivering her best every single time, no matter how many times you've been in her chair. Thy is exceptional, and if you're lucky enough to book her, I promise you'll walk out of the salon smiling and taking a million selfies.

Made my appointment in good faith. Heather charges $75 if you cancel outside of a 48-hour window…read morebefore your appointment. I agree completely. Five hours before my appointment, Heather texts me to ask if I can come in with 50-minutes' notice. My first appointment. Who does this? I was shocked and explained that I couldn't do it as I work, which is why my appointment was scheduled outside of work hours. Heather countered with an offer of either a morning appointment or two slots in the middle of the afternoon. These appointments were for the next week. Still in opposition to normal work hours. Are you kidding me? Heather, your inability to professionally time manage is not your new client's problem. It is rude to ask a new client to come in early to suit you. I am early to every service appointment. Always. You should expect that your clients show up on time and have the funds to pay for it. Instead, because I have the audacity to take exception to your unprofessional behavior, you tell me I am entitled. Entitled because I have the expectation that a service provider be able to time manage? Entitled because I can't leave my job to be at your salon within 50 minutes of your text? I'll tell you what I should be entitled to...a $75 cancellation credit from YOU!

Not many hairstylists will do that!! This was one of the main reasons I kept coming back, besides the amazing job she does on my hair ;)) Throughout the entire process, she's been so attentive with what products she uses to ensure my hair is still healthy with the color I choose. My last appointment I went with cherry brown with some purple tones in it. It faded super nice and I still had people complimenting on my hair. I loved the color so much I decided to get it again with a little more red in it! I also love the curated cut she gave me. She never disappoints!! I absolutely trust her with my hair!! Her salon is located inside Salon Republic. Tip: I usually park in the Target parking structure and walk around the building. (Photos are from two different sessions)

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. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Yessenia and Essence Salon and will definitely be returning!
