My son recently had his hair permed at Hair Glory, and we had an amazing experience. It was his…read morefirst time doing anything beyond coloring his hair, so we were a little nervous trying a completely new style that also requires maintenance we weren't familiar with. The team at Hair Glory was fantastic. They took the time to explain how to style his hair properly and recommended products that would help him manage it day-to-day. That extra guidance meant a lot, especially for a first-time perm. His hair came out great--no damage at all--and the salon was professional, clean, and welcoming. Another bonus was the price. It was extremely affordable compared to higher-end salons that charge much more for the same service. I trusted the reviews and my gut, and it turned out even better than expected. Truly a 12 out of 10 experience.

Jessie the owner is one of those people who listen to the customer what they're looking for and deliver what is being asked. I messed up my hair by using two different colors. My hair was a total mess It was orange and red mixed as I picked wrong color, I hated it. Jessie has magic in her hands and was able to get my ash-brown hair back and I'm very happy and satisfied with her Service. She gave me a cut, colored my hair with highlights and also gave me hair treatment to prevent any damage. I really like her recommendation of flaxseed oil which smells great as well as give a beautiful shine to my hair thank you Jessie. I will see you next time. I will highly recommend my friends and family to you. Thank you again for taking time and helping me with my hair.

They talked to me a little to get the general idea of how much styling I actually do and helped a lot with that. I was afraid they would take off too much length since I said I wanted to keep the length, but the cut was clean and easy to manage. The shampoo was nice and the blow dry was a pleasant change to some of the other cut and dry styles. The blow Dry left my hair sitting in a pleasant natural shape, not dry and crispy. The salon was a nice and lenient space and gave the effect of a well managed and not overbooked appointment. By the time I got home my hair was still sitting nicely, which is a great sign that the cut was done well. I will for sure consider coming back for my next trim.

He reached out for a conversation before I came in and I knew I was in good hands. And then I was BLOWN AWAY by what he was able to achieve!! I had expected it would take a few visits to get there. Justin knows hair!! There is a science and an art to color, especially for those of us wanting dimensional color. Justin has both expertise and artistry!! I'm just delighted. I want to also mention that the salon itself is lovely. Spacious and airy, with a sweet back patio. I loved the art, too. The whole experience was uplifting! Justin is easy to talk to, the vibes are chill. I'm including before and after photos in hopes that my review might help someone else in a similarly desperate situation. You can trust Justin at Salon 1500!! He's awesome!!

Since I've retired, she has still kept me looking current with my gray hair cut in fun, short, sassy styles. Marlo is always happy to show me different ways to style a new cut or show me how different hair products can create a new exciting look. She's very knowledgeable about her profession and knows how to cut and style your hair to enhance your features. The salon is lovely and inviting, and Marlo is a gem. She's smart, interesting, caring, and always fun to talk to. I highly recommend Marlo at Studio M!

I just had to come on here and rave about Jessica because she is truly incredible. This was my…read morethird time seeing her, and she continues to exceed my expectations every single visit. I am so beyond happy with my hair. I have 3B curly hair, and while there are great stylists in the Bay Area, Jessica is the first person I've personally found who truly understands my curls, my shape, and how color works with my natural texture. From the very first appointment, I felt completely confident in her hands. This visit she did my balayage, a curly cut, and a treatment - and the results are absolutely beautiful. My curls are bouncy, defined, healthy, and the color is so soft and natural with gorgeous dimension. The shape is perfect, and my hair feels better than it has in a long time. On top of the amazing hair, the studio experience itself is such a vibe. They had warm apple cider, wine, champagne, cookies, and little snacks, which made the whole visit feel so elevated and cozy. Someone (I think the owner!) even brought me another warm apple cider without me asking - it was such a thoughtful touch. Everyone in the salon is genuinely kind and welcoming, and you really feel taken care of from start to finish. Jessica is not only extremely talented, but also kind, patient, and very detail-oriented. She takes her time, explains what she's doing, and genuinely cares about the final result. You can feel how passionate she is about her craft. If you have curly hair and are looking for someone who truly knows how to work with it, I highly recommend booking with Jessica. I leave her chair happy every single time, and this was my best visit yet. Thank you so much, Jessica!

My recent cut with her took an unexpected turn. I noticed it looked different from the photos and…read moresignificantly shorter so I got nervous, I was calm but I did express my thoughts... "It's shorter than the photos and I don't feel very good about it." She decided to stop and told me she wasn't comfortable cutting my hair anymore, since "you're clearly uncomfortable," and "the trust has been broken," Which I mean, I was... She suddenly offered to refer me out and said she'd reach out in a couple of days, and didn't charge me, but not paying hadn't even occurred to me... she rushed me out so she could do her "cleansing ritual" for the "negative energy" or something since she had 7 more clients after me... which she kept saying over and over. I asked if we could dry it or add some product or do the finishing touches and she said no... so I just awkwardly left with very wet hair. I just moved here and was really looking forward to developing a long term relationship with a stylist. I think gender affirming hair can take some trial and error and working with a stylist over time can help find "the" haircut. Feedback after each cut, taking in the knowledge from the stylist/learning from them, coming back every few months, etc. it's a journey. I was nervous and dissatisfied, but breathing and calm since I know this. The cut itself is fine, it's not exactly what I asked for but I mean... her skills at cutting hair are evident. My first haircut with her was a 10/10... To me it was more the reaction and shock and being rushed out and now I have a much shorter haircut (that I didn't ask for) that could use some touch ups, and that I don't know how to style, since normally I air dry my hair with some basic product which we talked about. The plan was that I would still be able to put it up and now I have basically a pixie... it's been a very upsetting and confusing experience... and it's hair and it'll grow out and I think it'll look more like my reference photos in a few months and with some small adjustments... I just wish she had responded differently and we could have continued working together. I'm not angry or posting this to be a "Karen," just thought it would be appropriate to share since this has really hurt me and been an emotional roller coaster, I felt a lot of distress that day and am still feeling distress and anxiety over the experience. Other stylists have confirmed that my concerns were logical, that the cut is in the same family but missed the mark and is definitely significantly shorter... and that the response was odd, we could have talked about ways to style it, product, addressed my concerns, made a plan for next time, anything...
