    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    Highlights by Christy

    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!

    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!

    New hair thank you Clay at Bella Cosa!

    If you're looking for a new salon/stylist, look no further than Bella Cosa! I see Clay Morganparks and he's the very best! He always listens well to exactly what I want, engages thoroughly in questions, he's very attentive, funny and my favorite part, he knows what he's doing and works very quickly (without sacrificing quality). My color & cut are always perfect. I followed him here as I use to see him at another location. My first impression of Bella Cosa was . It's beautiful inside, has good parking and overall great hospitality.

    After- blonde bayalage
    Jenny C.

    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!

    Farah one of the best hairstylists i have ever seen , she listens to your request , she knows colors well and she never damage my hair , not only she is super fun but also she is very expert , i highly recommend her

    Is shampoo and blow dry included in the haircut fee?

    Hi Gabrielle, most of the stylist include shampoo and blow dry with their haircut services. I believe 1-2 of them charges for blow drying.

Noise level was lively, and parking was manageable, but can be difficult to find depending on if you're going on a weekday after 5pm or weekend.

Shoutout to Apple for her amazing hair expertise and the time she takes to share what she sees from a professional stylist, as well as Will for being super cordial and easy to converse with! VALUE Prices were reasonable for the Bay Area (especially due to the high quality of the styling). STANDOUT DETAIL What stood out most to me was the hospitality of the owner (Apple) and her employees! Overall, I'd recommend Her Studio Hair Salon!

They use high-quality products that never leave my hair feeling dry or fried. What I appreciate most is the honesty.

Plus, she generously teaches me how to maintain the color at home so I don't have to spend a fortune visiting her as often. Honestly, I still get compliments on my highlights even 6 months afterwards! You can tell they put their clients first, not just the payout. Insider Tip: They are rightfully very busy! They do welcome walk-ins, but it's definitely not guaranteed. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment in advance. Honor your appointment time or else you might need to get back in the queue.

    After my bestie had been going to esther for 7 years i jumped on the curly hair bandwagon last year…read moreand here i am for perm #2. the last year has been fun styling the first perm she gave and i loved it as it grew in and i even got two trims throughout the year. i love that my hair is allowed to have digital perm (hair-health wise) & it doesn't smell bad! after my appointment i came straight to work and this is the shot after esther styled it! in the after care i'll avoid getting it wet for 2 days and the hardest part is not touching it! but i flip my hair so i'll just try to keep it in ringlet twirls as much as possible! one thing different from my first perm was that my hair was much longer prior to this appt today, and still it sprang up! it's still long so i'm glad i grew it, and looking forward to styling this do once the 48 hr no wash time passes! highly recommend esther even with her wait list!! you can upkeep with deep conditioning your hair while looking forward to the appt (like i did!) the 3 hour appt was enjoyable, she is personable and so knowledgeable, in fact the appt was over earlier than i expected, a total timely professional! thank you esther!
