Since I have straight hair I have no knowledge on what products, etc to get for her. Not only did Kate at the Salon do an excellent haircut, she pointed out what type of products to use. My 2nd appointment at the Salon was for me. WOW was I amazed at the awesome results. Kate once again helped me and it was for a color, highlights and cut - the WORKS. I got amazing dimensional copper tones and have not been able to stop loving the color and cut.

He is so diligent and meticulous with his work; it's really cool to watch someone who's excellent at their craft and especially cool when your hair is the result. I always walk out looking good and feeling good. On an aesthetic level his salon is cute and he plays nice music. He is a great conversationalist and despite my appointments taking a while (I have a lot of hair, we were together for 1H45M yesterday) conversation never runs stale and there's always things to talk about. He's the best I can't recommend anyone else further. Again, I've been a client for a decade!

Last weekend she once again did an incredible job with our haircuts, color, and styling, and we couldn't be happier. Natalie is not only incredibly talented, but also so thoughtful, detail-oriented, professional, and genuinely caring. She always takes the time to listen and somehow knows exactly what will look best. On top of that, she's just such a joy to spend time with. If you're looking for an amazing stylist in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend her enough. She's the absolute best!

Really happy with my haircut at Essence Salon with Yessenia!…read more Booked a haircut appointment with Yessenia through the website for a Tuesday afternoon. 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!

From the start, she…read morelistened carefully to every detail I shared and took the time to go through my inspiration photos with me, making sure we were on the same page before she even picked up the scissors. I originally booked this appointment last minute after another stylist canceled on me the day before a trip - and honestly, I'm so grateful that happened, because I would've never found Grace otherwise. Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who really knows what they're doing, actually listens, and creates an amazing overall experience.

This was my first time seeing Jenn and she absolutely KILLED IT!! I have honestly never been so happy after getting my hair done. She turned me around and I literally said "omg it's perfect!!" She was so sweet, efficient, professional, and made sure she understood what I wanted - and even guided me when I wasn't totally sure. She continuously checked on me to make sure I was comfortable and doing alright. The salon itself was clean and had a cute fresh vibe. To any blondes in the area, you absolutely HAVE to see Jenn. I live in NYC, but I will regularly be coming back here to get my hair done by Jenn. I trust her that much after seeing her only once. Truly can't emphasize enough how amazing my hair looks. Thank you Jenn, you're a godsend!

After months and months of not being able to get my hair done due to Covid-19 restrictions,…read moreCalifornia finally re-opened salons {with very specific protocol} and I was anxious to book my appointment at Spruce. Since the salon is located in Downtown Redwood City, there will not be any free parking as everything is metered street parking - Bring some quarters. Spruce Salon is taking every Covid-19 precaution possible - Only a limited number of stylists are allowed to work at a time {with chairs more than 6 feet apart}, each stylist is only allow to service one client at a time, both the stylist and the client must wear a mask the entire time and a temperature check is given prior to entering the salon. All of these procedures made me feel super comfortable in being in a salon again. My husband has been going to Spruce for years for his haircuts and raved about Nicole, so I decided to give her a shot when going in for a full highlight and a haircut - I am beyond thrilled to have found Nicole - She is a Hair Genius! I am a very easy going person and my hair is the one thing that I can tend to get picky about so I usually go into a salon with several pictures of what I am looking for {and as someone who previously managed salons/spas for years and years, I know this can be a stylists nightmare} - Nicole was amazing and looked through all of my pictures and I put my trust in her to see my vision - She exceeded what I was looking for 10 fold! Not only is she a stellar stylist, but she is beyond friendly and really listens to the clients needs/wants. The pricing is very comparable to other salons in the area, and in my opinion, it was less than I was looking to spend for such a great experience. If you are in the market for a new do' - Nicole is your girl! She is in demand and books up fast so be sure to plan ahead.. it'll be worth your wait!
