They do great men's haircuts too! Suzanne is the best. Friendly, and understood exactly what I wanted. read more

The salon is clean, well decorated, and very serene! The entire team at this salon is wonderful, and Suzanne is exceptionally talented. She is well known for her amazing blow outs! Absolutely fantastic experience. read more

This is just an update to say my credit card company credited me back in my favor for the disputed amount. Why did I have to go through a three month ordeal? Again, I did not say Suzanne is not good at what she does. I said in the middle of a disagreement on the deal I was told by her and entitled to, Suzanne handled the matter defensively and not professionally and acted like it was not her problem. I would have amended my review if she wasn't going around complaining to all her clients to go write fake Yelp reviews who haven't written a yelp review for 8 years. read more

It takes a lot to impress me with hair. I have been to quite a few bad hair places in the Bay Area looking for that great place...well I found it. I went in for Nadine from a suggestion from a friend and she did an amazing job. We had great conversation, talked about hair and time seemed to just fly. I went in for coloring, highlights and a cut. This is the first time ever I have been overly thrilled with my hair! She did an amazing job and I will for sure be going to her from here on out. If your skeptical about a new place or nervous give her a call. She knows her stuff and gives amazing results!! read more

California Stylin' - Hair by Nadine - Hair Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

See all

My review is for Suzanne Daniels. She is the BEST stylist as well as the best person that I know. She is an artist as well as very reasonable. Suzanne is a joy, a consummate professional and the best stylist that I have ever worked with. I have fortunately been a client for Suzanne for over 2 decades, and I have referred all of my friends and family who are also satisfied clients. Suzanne is an excellent and amazing stylist! read more

I don't like being the Negative Nancy of reviews for California Stylin', but $45 haircut later and $5 tip...I couldn't not share my experience. To start off saying, I was able to get an appointment for the next day, as opposed to another salon I wanted to try that didn't have an opening until a week later. Also, I am comparing my experience to other $45 haircuts I've had at other establishments - my opinion is honest and fair. I was appointed to a stylist for my haircut on a Saturday morning and when arrived the place was already bustling. The wait was short and it didn't take long before I was at the sinks getting my hair washed. The wash itself was really "whatever". It didn't make my hair feel or smell much better than what I could do at home, but c'mon, who cares about that, I much rather have time and attention put into my actual haircut. Sad to say, I didn't get even that... I showed her two pictures of my bangs before my haircut grew out. I told her I wanted my hair about 2 inches shorter to get rid of the dry ends and styled in layers. I didn't care how she did the layers, but I told her I wanted the bangs just like the pictures. She said she could do it so I shut up and let her do her thing. When she pulled out her razor to layer my hair, I began to worry. I have NEVER had a hair stylist use one of those and give me a good haircut - a bad omen. I didn't say anything with the naive hope that she would prove me wrong. The general body of my hair turned out ok. Nothing special and from my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't find any flagrant faults. She saved my bangs for last and when she "finished" she asked how i liked them. First of all the bang length was wayyy too long and I couldn't even see my eyebrows. It looked nothing like the picture I gave her! In the picture, my bangs are textured and they play at the top of my eyebrows. I'm not trying to be an editorial model with super straight bangs, lady!!! I still had some patience and some hope she could achieve the look with the remaining fringe I had. But boy, was I wrong. NOTE TO SELF: NEXT TIME, STOP WHEN YOU'RE AHEAD. IF THE FIRST ATTEMPT IS CLEARLY WRONG, NUMBER TWO IS SURE TO BE A DISASTER. My bangs ended up being WAYYYY too short and were sitting well above my eyebrows - crap, I looked like I belonged in the Dumb and Dumber movie. Oh, don't know what I'm talking about? Let me refresh your memory: http://http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhp0eooC9i1qgpzvfo1_500.gif, except I didn't like it. AT ALL. At this point I was at a lost for words. The stylist had clearly cut my bangs beyond the length of saving and I didn't feel comfortable asking her to do anything else because her next client had already come in, so I gave her my $5 tip and left. I would have left no tip, but the stylist was a nice lady and she was easy to talk to throughout the hour long appointment. It has been two weeks since my hair's downfall and I have yet to wear my bangs down. They are too short for bobby pins and barely are held back with a hairband. I have also found random pieces of hair much longer than the rest that I have had to take scissors to. My experience at CA Stylin' left me with much to be desired I will not be going back. Ever. read more

I'm not particularly fond of spending heavily on haircuts yet, in the past years, I've definitely realized that haircuts are one of the things worth investing in - especially when your hair takes forEVER to grow back out and you're fond of short haircuts. I've came to Mary since I was a sophomore in high school and now, after 2 years overseas and starting my first year of college, she is still the only one I can really trust with my hair. Long story short, if you're looking for someone who can make your haircut look and stay looking good (without the awkward week and a half stage), go to Mary. If you're looking for someone who is looking out for your good and not for the money (I once wanted to try out a haircut that I honestly would've regretted, she gave me constructive criticism instead and I loved my cut afterwards), go to Mary. I've had so many experiences with Mary, including the time i decided it'd be a good idea to get blonde lowlights in my extremely thin hair. She did them for me and did them the way that I desired BUT 2 days later, I really really realized I hated it and it made my hair look crazy! After I talked it out with her, she understood and told me that she'd help me dye it back free of charge. Most stylists would not do that for you. Mary has been the one I've recommended to many friends, family, and my friend's family members, all of them who've gone have thanked me. So go and make an appointment with Mary! read more

Nadine is a doll!! I've been getting my hair done by her for over 6 years now. She is absolutely amazing! What do you want from your hair dresser? 1) someone that converses with you when you're getting your hair dyed, cut or permed, she's the woman with the magic hands. 2) she very accommodating; you are paying for good service by going to her and trust me, her prices are very reasonable. 3) i believe there aren't any walk-in-welcomes so you aren't being interrupted by other customers which by default, allows her to take her time with your hair. 4) someone knowledgeable in hair products. The shop offers water, tea, and wine for those that are old enough. They also wax, have brazilian hair straightening, etc. If you are from the city or the town like me (and yes, i commute that far, she's that good) parking is a straight biotch! here you get free parking! (that's a deal breaker for some folks) Lastly, her strengths are cuts and highlights so def go to her if your are looking to become fancy! read more

For as long as I remember, I've been coming to get my hair cut, styled and highlighted for years!!! I always schedule my appointments with Triina- she is great! Professional, on time and meticulous. I don't even have a specific color in mind and she will make it all beautiful for me! I get compliments on my hair all the time, specifically the highlights- people really like them! I usually schedule my appointment at least a few days in advance and she'll squeeze me in. She's very accommodating and can get very busy so always make sure you call in advance. She's my go to :) Thanks, Triina, for all the years you've done my hair! In regards to the location, it is tucked away in the neighborhood, adjacent from 7-Eleven, a lovely Victorian house! You can't really miss it but can easily drive past it if driving too quickly. The parking is located behind the Victorian home and is located on the bottom floor of the home. There is also parking eight in front of the home as well, and on off hours, you can find parking. This is a Victorian style home (not residential) converted into a business unit. read more

Just got my hair done here today made an appointment with Mary LOVE my cut and color Mary is a master with hair she knew exactly what she was doing and what would look best with me! She's friendly and insightful I would recommend her to women who want beautiful looking hair! Salon was clean and professional free Keurig coffee while getting your hair done! read more

Just moved to the area and was looking for a great place to get my hair cut, I was so apprehensive in finding a new stylist. After reading all the yelp reviews I figured I would give California Stylin' a shot since they had a 5 star rating...really glad I did! Katrinna Perez, also known as Trinna, was AMAZING!! She really took her time and made sure she cut my hair the way I wanted it. I have long wavy thick hair so it is hard to find a stylist that knows how to work with different hair types, but Trinna knew exactly how to manage, cut and style it. Not only that the prices are very resonable, 40 bucks for a hair cut! I have definitely found my permanent stylist here, Trinna is by far one of the best! read more

I love this place..! My hair always looks amazing after I get it done. And the price is right! Ask for Nadine!! She's the best I followed her from her old salon I know so many people that go to her and everyone loves her! The salon is nice and relaxing they have wine, coffee, and tea to make you feel at ease! read more

Trina is the stylist that does my hair here. She is awesome, and understands my fear of horrible hair. It has been a while since I last went to her, I'd say about two years. I just got my hair done cut and color this week and it was grand. I brought her a few photos of what I wanted my color to be and she totally got it right. I really just wanted to add some life to my black hair with out bleach. And that is exactly what she did!! On top of that she fixed my cut. The last dude chopped at my hair rather than with my hair. She always listens to what you want and at the end, asks you what you think. Amazing right??!! She wants to make sure you like what she did. If only every place was this way. All I have to say is she is a life saver!! I cant wait to go back for the brazilian blow out!! The atmosphere is relaxing and everyone is totally nice and awesome. All the stylist are great and they are not trying to get over on each other. In other words, trying to steal clients. If you are looking to transform yourself trina is the person I recommend. But this place either way you go, I'm sure you will be pleased. read more

I went to this salon in Dec. 2014- My first impression was that it catered to an older client base. No one getting their hair done was under 35 years old. It is a decent salon but smelled very chemically like too many perms were being done. I also had to wait 15 minutes after my scheduled appointment which is so frustrating. I got a haircut and protein process to strengthen my hair. I was not very impressed with either service. In fact my layers were very choppy and there was about a 4-5 inch difference between the shortest and longest pieces. It looked okay for the first few weeks but grew out very uneven and I recently had to cut about 3 inches to even out the layers. That is 6 months hair growth cut do to a bad hair cut. Cheers, MJ- read more

I have had my hair cut by Prudence Hoendervoogt for the past 11 years. She had her station at another business most of those years, in a less appealing neighborhood. She opened her own salon a few months ago, near the mission, and it is so attractive. It is in the bottom half of a beautifully reclaimed old home - and close enough to walk to Mission Coffee. Prudence always does a great job on my hair and is wonderful to talk with. She always cuts my hair the way I ask her to. My friend who referred me to her has had the same experience. She runs a very clean place and is organized. read more

This salon is quite wonderful. It is a newer salon, so everything is in top shape. Everything is very modern, but comfortable and inviting. All of the ladies who work there are fun and down-to-earth as well. When I get my hair done, I feel like I'm catching up with friends. Cheryl Price has been doing my hair for a few years now and she is simply amazing. As a colorist, she has no match. Whether you want fun and funky colors or something natural, she makes it happen. Plus, I don't spend a lot of time on my hair, but can recreate the styles she gives me at home. I haven't been able to do that with other stylists. Like one of the other reviewers said, I often sit down and tell her to do whatever she wants to my hair. I always come out looking and feeling great. read more

Suzanne is awesome! I've changed the color of my hair multiple times and every time it's been amazing. My hair looks refreshed and healthy everytime I go for a cut & color. I'm getting married this weekend and I wanted my hair light brown with golden highlights, but my hair was a dark auburn so I thought it would be a huge process and I'd have to strip it. So, 6 weeks ago when I saw Suzanne I told her what I wanted and she was able to lighten my hair WITHOUT stripping it! I saw her again yesterday for a touchup and my hair looks even better than 6 weeks ago! My hair is exactly the length and color that I want for my wedding and I couldn't be happier. read more

The environment at this salon is extremely friendly! I appreciate that there is no "bad blood" if you switch hairstylists. I recommend Nadine, she does a great job and knows what she's doing! read more

Been here for the first time today. Cozy place, good customer service, and reasonably priced. Nadine turned my limp and lifeless hair to luscious locks. Looking forward to come back more often. Thanks Nadine. read more

Cheryl gave me the best haircut I have ever had! She listened to my needs and I just love it! I will be going back to her from now on! Oh, and there is free coffee too! read more

Everyone knows how hard it is to get a good hairdresser, and once you find them...NEVER let go. That is exactly what you should when you get Mary, never let her go. She is just plain amazing... She gave me the perfect haircut suited for my hair (long wavy and just alot of hair...very hard to manage), gave me amazing highlights and did the brazilian blowout. Amazing...i am so happy :-)....am not kidding everytime i have gone out...i have gotten compliments on my hair. I love it. read more

Katriina recently did a Brazilin Blow Out on my hair and I absolutely LOVE it. She did an amazing job. My hair is now straight and shinny just the way I like it. I can simply wash my hair and let it air dry and the amazing part is, it dry's straight. I have naturally wavy hair and now it looks like I flat ironed it without all of the work and damage of a flat iron. I would recommend the Brazilian Blow Out to anyone that wants flat ironed hair without the flat iron... If you feel like curling it, it will hold the curl as well. I couldn't be happier! read more

I have been going to this salon for 2 years now and LOVE IT! Nancy is my stylist and she always does a great job. Im the girl that who wants a change but no to drastic. Want the color to match my skin tone. What a new cut, but need direction from a professional. IM PICKY and Nancy helps solve all my problems. I usually go for highlights but finally went for a change and my hair is red. Its not bright red but its a nice dark red that still looks professional. Nancy I LOVE MY HAIR! Highly recommended this is a great place to go. read more

I went to California stylin as a referral from a friend.....I went in to see Katriina for a hair cut, hair color and the brazilian blow out which i did for the first time. Katrina was very easy to get along with, she was knowledgeable about everything she was doing and she got me in and out of there in a very timely manner. Not to mention her prices were quite reasonable. I loved how my hair looked and felt after i left and I will definitely be going back and referring my friends. read more

Katriina is AWESOME! I just got the Brazilian Blowout and a cut and I LOVE it. She does an amazing job. She makes you feel really comfortable and is very thorough and lets you know what she is doing before she does it. I recommend her to all my friends. :) read more

Cheryl Price, who has a chair at California Stylin', has been taking care of my hair for about 10 years now. I haven't let anyone else touch it since I met her! Cheryl was there when I destroyed my hair with black hair dye and then tried to bleach it out. My senior picture actually looked like me, thanks to her! She also did my hair for my wedding! She always does a great job and I trust her completely - I've sat down more than once and told her to do "whatever". I always end up loving the results! read more

I get my hair done by Nadine. She is great. I been coming to her for a year now and I I am absolutely happy with her. I have no plans of going anywhere else for my hair color Brazilian blow outs. I'm always 100% satisfied each and every single time. read more

Suzanne Daniels has been doing my hair for more than 2 years now. I used to dye it myself :(. I went so dark with the color and damaged it (because I did not know what I was doing). She was able to lighten with out bleaching! I look like a totally different person!! My hair is lighter and healthy!!! Suzanne is awesome! I was recommended to Suzanne by a co-worker. WOW! is all I say to myself every time I leave the salon!!! read more

Lately I visited this hair salon. I feel at home and people working here are friendly unlike Mary Nguyen's previous salon which was unwelcoming & tense. Since Mary left the previous salon, i had a hairdresser at this salon do my hair, but the result was terrible. I was unhappy every morning I saw my hair. Now I am so happy to have Mary do my haircut. After her touch, I look awesome. I will for sure come back to Mary. read more

I've been going to Prudence for about 11 years and anyone who can deal with my brillo head deserves an award! A few years ago she introduced me to the Chi and I thought that was the best. Holy cow, she had more tricks up her sleeve. 14 weeks ago she did a Brazilian Blowout and OMG!! I have died and gone to heaven. If my hair had been like this in the 70's, I would have had much more fun. Prudence is the best and her salon is great. It's clean, comfy, and welcoming. read more

Katriina is the best!!!! I have had several stylist through the years and have gone to Katriina for a short while, never have I experienced such a great stylist with the hands of a miracle worker. My hair is very fine and curly not to many stylist can manage it until Katriina was referred to me. Katriina has done a beautiful job with my hair and I get compliments every where I go....Katriina, thank you so much for the beautiful job you do! I highly recommend this Stylist and I am not easy to please! Have a great day! read more

My very good friend referred me to Katrina and my first appt. for partial highlights went REALLY well! She took her time and did a very thorough job and did not go overboard with the charges. I love the highlights and the service and have found my new stylist! read more

Cheryl at California Stylin LOVE LOVE LOVE her. Honestly, every time I have my hair colored and styled from Cheryl I receive compliments galore. She really takes the time to understand what her clients wants and needs. The salon is super clean and lots of light. All the ladies are super friendly too!!!! read more

I have been going to California Stylin' for several years and Prudence cuts and highlights my hair. I have been to many stylists over the years and won't have to look again. Prudence does an excellent job and always listens carefully to make sure she gives you the haircut you want and does a beautiful job highlighting hair. It's nice not to have to look for a stylist anymore I have found the best one. read more

I have my hair done by Suzanne who does an excellent job with color and cut!!! What I love is that it looks (and even grows out) so natural! She makes suggestions and discusses products with me and I enjoy her company while she's getting me beautified! Would definitely recommend! read more

This review is for Suzanne, as she's the only one I let touch my hair! I've been blessed two great hairdressers I've had in my life.The first was Dean McAtee who did my hair from high school in the 1980's through my first child in 1995. He sadly passed away from AIDS and so my search began. As every woman knows, finding an amazing hairdresser is very difficult. There were 2 years of botched color and not-quite-what-I-wanted haircuts. Then I found Suzanne :-) I had asked around in our "playgroup," as I saw a couple of moms whose hair always looked stunning - not just a good color, but a great cut. Suzanne has cut and colored my hair since 1997. I have followed her to 3 salons over the last 16 years.There are many things I love about her, but here are some of the best. She gives me freedom to experiment with cut and color, but draws boundaries on what she'll do based on what she believes would not look good on me, and what would not be good for my hair. She knows how to make a very short and very long cut work on me. Before Suzanne cut it short, I was of the opinion that I couldn't do short hair. She blew that falsehood out of the water, and now I go back and forth. I get bored easily and grow it out then chop it off. At this point in our relationship I give her full authority on color. I'm fairly easy in that regard! She has done many shades of brown, but mostly we like the reds and have stayed in that range for many years now. I am a very low-maintenance gal, and don't enjoy messing about with my hair except on special occasions. The haircut and color that Suzanne gives allow me to be like that but still look good. She is a master at mixing the color as well as providing me with a cut that pretty much allows me to roll out of bed and go. After all these years she knows me and my lifestyle and makes my hair look amazing. I absolutely adore this transplanted New Yorker and am so happy she's my hairdresser :-) read more

I recently visited California Stylin' for the first time because my stylist Mary Nguyen moved there from another salon. The salon itself is beautiful. Really spacious and the ambiance makes you feel relaxed. As for Mary, she always works wonders with my hair. I trust her 100% and I always leave feeling great about my new look. Last year, she gave me a short a-line bob with red peek-a-boo highlights...it was all her suggestion and i loved it! This time I told her I wanted to go light all over. I also wanted to keep the overall length, but somehow have an updated shape. She went to work with my hair and again I left very pleased and excited. I've gotten so many compliments about my hair since i've been seeing Mary. She is a perfectionist, so she will take her time with you to make sure it's the right shade/cut. She is also very easy to talk to! I can't rave enough about her.. i highly recommend her to anyone! read more

I went to Cailfornia Stylin last week to have Mary Nguyen cut my hair. She's been cutting my hair for the past year and always does an awesome job! I haven't trusted anyone but her! The end result is always what I had requested and she always gives great recommendations too. The salon itself is gorgeous and it was such a refreshing environment. Definitely come by, you won't be disappointed! read more

This is a long overdue review for Cheryl. I have been going to her for a couple of years now. I have wavy/frizzy hair that has caused me grief for years. I have tried many local salons that charged exorbitant amounts for mediocre service. So glad that a friend referred me to Cheryl. She listens carefully, gives advice, and is not afraid to be honest if I ask for something that won't work...She is great with color and gives a great cut. She has given me some great tips that help me maintain my style without too much trouble. She has given me some valuable tips and recommended some products that will help me maintain my style...she does not constantly push expensive product like some places do though... My teenage daughter who very pretty particular about her hair, loves her also. She does a great job for a very fair price. We both feel very comfortable with her and are thankful for her expertise and professionalism... read more

Suzanne has been cutting and coloring my hair for a couple of years now. I just love the way I feel when I leave the salon. My hair always looks healthy, smells great and the color is exactly what I want. I want a stylist who will do exactly what I want, or if I'm feeling clueless, offer great suggestions. That's just what I get with Suzanne. And I love the vibe of the salon. Always spotless and well-maintained with homey little touches. read more
