Hi have been going to Megan for a number of years and I just cannot say enough good things about…read moreher!!!! Cuts: Although my hair is not overly complicated to cut - it can be a little feisty, naturally curly, not necessarily thick but I have a lot of it. I like to keep my hair short and stylist. She has never let me down, she listens to what I want and has performed miracles with her scissors. She offers suggestions on how to better care for my locks without trying to push products. She never judges (or at least not out loud) and I always feel comfortable asking her questions. Color: She is an absolutely INCREDIBLE colorist. She listens, takes the time to understand what you want, and makes it happen. I have aging hair - it's graying in all the wrong places - and she has a special flair for making it look healthy and vibrant. She never does more then I can maintain and manage and will actually color it for longevity rather than trying to get me to come back every couple of weeks. I have two teenage girls that love to "self color" - the horror! - and she has fixed it more than once. No judgment, just professionalism and gets them right back on track. I really can't say enough good things about Megan - if you want crazy complicated color that looks stunning -she's your girl. If you want an easy to maintain cut - she's your girl. If you want anything in between - she's your girl. Thanks Megan!

Sometimes I go a bit darker, sometimes lighter, but I always leave the salon with the perfect shade. What I appreciate most is that she gives honest recommendations and guidance so I never walk out with something I won't be happy with. Blonde highlights can be tricky--I've definitely had stylists in the past leave me too gold, too streaky, or with damage. But with Kelly, my hair always feels healthy, shiny, and beautifully blended. Her highlight work grows out so naturally, without harsh lines, which really extends the life of my color. She's truly skilled, especially when it comes to blondes. Highly recommend Kelly if you're looking for gorgeous, seamless blonde highlights!

I've been going to see Tricia for over 2 years and she does an AmaZinG job everytime. When I first…read moredecided that I needed to start having my hair done professionally, after a hiatus of 3 years (was doing my own), I was really embarrassed to have Tricia assess my hair. It was in bad shape, as I was bleaching it myself, flat ironing it, and simply destroying the health of my hair. She was so kind, and reassuring, and made me feel at ease about it. I set up an appointment and have never stopped returning. This stylist is an EXPERT. I come out after every appointment looking and feeling like a celebrity. You know your hair looks amazing when tons of people tell you they love your hair and color. (I have difficult hair-thick and slightly crazy, but I flat-iron it) So whether you have hair that is easy or difficult, I'd highly recommend Tricia. Also, the salon is super cute and that is important to me!

The first time I visited Karley she asked me what I wanted and I was trying to describe some highlights but cover the grey coming through, she recommended a balayage style and I said "YES" but also thought "yeah right, you can't do that with my horribly sad hair". I stand correct, and while I would love to have three time the amount of hair Karley has worked magic with my dad hair. She adds a deeper color than my natural to create the depth at the root and cover greys, while finding the perfect blond tone. If you have sad hair like me- you really need to meet Karley!

I am always so frazzled before I go on a trip, I can't seem to get things done. A week or so ago, we went south, I couldn't get to my hairdresser up in Santa Cruz. I went with my husband to Sylvia.

Carmela did an absolutely incredible job on my hair. I wanted to take a risk and go shorter than normal and she took the time to explain how my hair needed to be cut and why. We discussed it for a while and she never made me feel rushed or nervous. While she was cutting it she talked to me about the products and techniques she was using and products she recommended, and by the time she was done I really felt like a movie star. I started getting compliments from friends and even a few strangers on the street after I left. I'm so happy with the job she did, and I highly recommend her to anyone!!!

I showed her examples of the cut that I wanted and though out the process she would ask if it was enough or wanted it different or things added. Super personable, friendly, service was outstanding.

It was a great feeling to have all that hair cut off, I feel fresh!

I always receive a ton of compliments on my hair that I've referred about 10 of my friends to Jeri. I moved to the Bay a couple of years ago and have seriously thought of flying her up so she can do my hair. I really don't trust anyone with my hair but Jeri.
