I've been a loyal client of Farah's for over a decade, and let me tell you. She's the queen of highlights and flawless cuts. You can trust her completely; she just gets it every single time. The Marilyn Monroe-themed interior adds such a glam touch and makes the space feel stylish and fun. Booking is a breeze, and I always walk out feeling fabulous. read more

First came to Josephine 10 years ago 06/24/2014. She is my go to no matter what with 32 appointments and going strong. All the colorful creations my hair went through were all thanks to her making my dreams come true. We have so much fun and she fixed up the salon so beautifully, it is always a great vibe coming here and great music. read more

A year or so later of Josephine being my go-to stylist and I'm never disappointed. Her hair coloring services are still half price of whatever I see elsewhere and I hope that never changes! And she offers coffee, tea, or alcohol like champagne sometimes in addition to a listening ear if you enjoy conversation and wanna talk about your trash ex-boyfriend. Jokes aside, Josephine is good at her craft as the owner and head stylist of Bella Cosa. Tried to go cheap getting my hair done out of country and got my hair fried and Josephine easily corrected it. Really looks out for the best interests and health of your hair and will be realistic with you whatever your hair goals may be. 10/10 recommend, I can't hype her enough! read more

I am really glad I found this place. It's an absolute gem and Josephine is one of the coolest, most down to earth hair dressers I've ever met! Prices are fair and she's amazing at what she does. I almost don't want to move from San Jose because it took so long to find someone like this! But I would for sure travel to keep getting my hair done here. The atmosphere is fun and laid back and I would definitely recommend the salon and especially Josephine to any and all looking for a skilled hair stylist, but still be able to pay your rent that month read more

Bella Cosa Salon - Josephine does her magic - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I got my highlights done with Tatyana before my Europe trip. She did an amazing job! She's very experienced in blonds and all other coloring services as well as hair cuts. Tatyana has been doing my hair for more than a year and my hair has never been healthier and more beautiful! She always asks me for an inspiration photo before the appointment and I end up looking better than the inspiration photo! Tatyana is amazing at her job, she can foil my entire head of hair in less than 30 minutes!!! I've never had a better stylist than her, and I had a privilege to work with some talented hairdressers! I would 100% recommend Tatyana! Also, the salon is very nice and spacious, it definitely feels like a luxurious experience! read more

Came here for the first time a few days ago to give Tatiana a try. A few things went wrong starting with her thinking I canceled my appointment and had to cut someone else's hair at the time I was to start. I am a new mom and had to bring my baby with me, so it wasn't an easy task to begin with. Next, she asked what I wanted for my hair and I told her... keep the length and thickness, long bangs and light layers around my face only. She asked if I wanted layers in the back, which I kindly and persistently said no. She started cutting away... many times while she was cutting I repeated that I don't want my hair thinned out and I DO NOT want layers in the back (they are just so hard to grow out evenly again). She said, no I'm not doing layers just giving a style. At the end, the haircut was NOT the one I wanted and my hair feels so thin I hate it. I have layers in the back, thinned out hair and the only thing she got right (hence the 2 stars) is the bangs. I paid $100 for that. Won't be coming back again. Josephina - thank you for your reply. There's no way to contact you through Yelp but wanted to say that a refund would be the best "sorry." Send me a message rather than commenting on Yelp without a way of contact. read more

Got my hair done today by Christy. Base, highlights and trim. Christy always does such a beautiful job. She's so talented, my color and cut always turns out just how I want it. Bella Cosa is right across the street from Valley Fair mall. It's a spacious salon and looks really nice. Highly recommend coming to Bella Cosa salon and book with Christy! read more

My experience with Josephine was professional and pleasant. Josephine took time to discuss my personalized options & answered all my questions. I am more than pleased with the full color, gray coverage & styling. I previously used Henna for over a year and a half & prior to that root touch-up box dye. My hair was at least three or more colors and uneven. I highly recommend Josephine if you're looking for a professional hair color restoral and cut. The salon has a modern look, clean & enjoyable atmosphere. My experience was amazing! read more

I had been cutting my own hair through Covid and I was so ready to give it a little tlc. I was so happy to have Josephine be the one to give it a little refresh. The salon was beautiful and updated. Josephine even offered me coffee or champagne to kick off the day. She was attentive to details and easy to talk to. This was my first time going blonde bayalage (from dark brown/black Asian hair). I absolutely love what Josephine did- everyone remarked how I looked so sunkissed! Thanks Josephine for helping me take the leap into blonde! read more

Josephine is the best stylist I have found. She took me from brown to blond and was very careful since I have thin-fine hair. I have been to other hair dressers that tend to over book their clients, so you end up sitting in the waiting room or chair longer. Josephine is always on time, doesn't overbook, and respects her clients time. It's fun to hang out with her and catch up as well, then walk away feeling like a rock star. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know. In fact, I have! My hubby, kids, my sister, and her family uses Josephine too!! read more

The salon is really nice, very bright, clean and in a good location with enough parking. It also just got better with curly hair expert, Lindsay. My daughter and I have been seeing Lindsay for 10+ years combined and we will not have anyone else do our hair. I have curly hair and my daughter's is wavy. Not only does she have curly hair and understands our exact needs, but she makes it a point to always ask us. One example is when we say we want a certain length, she will ask if that's the length we want with wet or dry hair... Yes, it makes a big difference. She takes her time before starting. We tell her what we want and she gets it done. At other salons I have gone to before her, I was never happy with my curly hair and the cut was always off. I originally found her from a salon that was posted on the naturally curly site and have followed her wherever she goes since then. I cannot say enough good things about her, she is a very kind hearted woman and super with kids!! It's no wonder my daughter (now 14) has loved her since she started going to her at age 4. If you are looking for that someone to treat your curls right, be sure to see Lindsay. read more

Love my haircut done by Farahnaz. She was very sweet and knowledgeable. Highly recommend her!

I've been coming to this salon for almost 2 years and I've had nothing but positive experience each time. The salon is very nice, clean, has plenty of parking and creates a great vibe. My hairstylist is Tatiana ( color, cut, and highlights on occasion). I became Tatiana's customer 3 years ago and followed her to this salon. She is very professional, always listens to my wishes, gives her professional opinion, and spends her time in making sure the hair color or the cut are done properly. My experience with Tatiana (every 8 weeks for the last 3 years) has been excellent. read more

So glad, my friend introduced me to Tatyana Stilist 5 years ago. Since that time she is the only one, who does my hair. I consider her one of the best hair stylists in Bay Area. Feels so good to come to see her, especially after she moved to the gorgeous Bella Cosa salon. And feels even better, when my friends or just people I meet, asking: who did your hair! And I tell them to look at Tatyana Stilist's Facebook page and see beautiful colors and styles she creates! read more

I've been going to Josephine for about 7 years now and she never fails to impress. It's not easy to get true blonde highlights on such dark natural, and long hair, but she manages to do it beautifully without orange undertones or my hair falling out. She's super professional and always responds in a timely manner as well as makes suggestions for what will work best with my hair type. I'm so excited to finally be back in her chair and wish her the biggest congratulations with her new Salon. It is absolutely gorgeous, glamorous, and updated with the latest technologies, while remaining Covid safe. I feel very comfortable here and recommend her to everyone I know. read more
