This was my first time getting a haircut here, but Carlina was super friendly and welcoming. She offered great recommendations for a hairstyle that would best suit my hair type while keeping in mind the look I was aiming for. read more

I had my first appointment with Carlina today and I could not commend her services enough! I came in to get more dramatic layers and the results were incredible! I showed her some reference photos and I felt the end result suited me perfectly. Carlina was very kind, reassuring and non judgmental, explaining each step in her process and what was best for my haircare. She also graciously recommended and gave me haircare products to try at home. I have never been so excited about a haircut in my life, i'll definitely be retuning for my next style! read more

extremely friendly, always on point for my hair color and best customer service! always returns my calls!

Awesome service I go here in every 6 months for coloring. Tge owner has become my friend now, she is very sweet and extremely accommodating. read more

Carlina is the best! I stumbled upon this salon a year ago looking to get soft layers for long black hair. Carlina did an awesome job and was very knowledgeable at bringing my dull hair back to life. Not only did she do a great job at my hair cut, but her family made me feel at home. I came back again this year looking to cut my long black hair again and possibly get a color. I asked for a medium cut and mocha brown balayage. She did more than what I expected! I love my hair so much more and it was such a fun experience with laughs and great conversations. I highly recommend coming to this salon. read more

I got my eyelashes done by Kailyn honestly probably the best eyelashes I've ever had. I've gotten eyelashes done probably 5 other times and I have never received as many compliments as I have since getting them done with kailyn at chic salon. 100 percent recommend booking an appointment. The owners were also super friendly asking me if I wanted anything to drink. I fell asleep during my lash appointment so you know I was relaxed . Also photos are 2 weeks after so look how good they still look! read more

I have gotten my hair done by both Carlina and Natalie and WOW they do such a wonderful job. Hair washes feel so amazing because they massage my head while doing so and I just feel like sleeping right then and there. Hair color jobs are amazing time and time again! I understand it's difficult to color hair because everyones hair type is different so they do take a few sessions BUT it's because they care so much about the feel and health of the hair! They do hair treatments and always recommend the best products ever for my hair. It's such a pretty little shop with a really friendly, fun, and professional staff! Beverages and snacks are always being offered also, so that's a plus too! read more

First time coming here, I must say it's the best salon I've ever been to. Heard about this place through Yelp. Called and spoke with Carlina and she recommended getting a consultation first. Went in the next day, supposedly just for my daughter but ended up getting my hair done as well. My daughter's hair color took about three sessions and mine took two sessions. The result was just amazing. My daughter really loved her new hair color and of course I'm in love with mine too. Five stars all the way. The service was just awesome. Carlina was very professional and super patient with us. Jazmine, the front desk young lady was very friendly also - loved the mimosa :) Very pleased with the result. Would definitely recommend this place. Five stars!!! read more

I was so happy to get an appointment here last minute. Lin did a beautiful blow out and curling of my hair. Style lasted well and my hair looked and felt great. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back! read more

Best salon I have ever been to!! The lady knows the job!! She WILL recommend that the haircut you ask will not suit you if it doesn't, instead of blindly giving you what haircut you ask for only for you to look like a dork. That's a great PLUS!! Not sure if walk-ins are welcome but it's better to make an appointment. They also have a nice mani-pedi place. I will keep going here and will also recommend this place to friends. read more

I found Chic when I was looking for a new place since my stylist relocated. I loved my experience there. The salon is really nice! Carlina greeted me warmly when I arrived and immediately made me feel welcome and right at home. She gave me a wonderful shampoo, complete with a very relaxing scalp massage (bonus!) The best part was that she didn't talk during the shampoo - she just allowed me to relax and let the tension melt away (it was so wonderful - I feel like bribing her for an even longer one next time - LOL!!). It's not that I don't like talking - it's just that talking while getting your hair washed is often awkward - especially in the midst of a soothing scalp massage. I should also note that they have the kind of washing stations that have the neck support - so you aren't awkwardly getting your neck cranked by the hard rim of the washing sink which is a definite plus. After the shampoo, we moved over to the chair where Carlina proceeded to give me a great haircut and blow out. It was then that we had a lovely chat - she really is a sweet lady! She took her time and asked questions, making sure that I got exactly what I asked for instead of just diving in and chopping away. I really appreciated that she didn't try to upsell a lot of product (I hate when salons do that) or try to talk me into additional services. When I booked the appointment, since I was a first time customer, she did briefly let me know about their first time customer specials, but it wasn't pushy at all and when I stated that I already had providers for those services that I was happy with, she didn't push back at all which was much appreciated. I always feel awkward saying "no" and I'm so thankful that Carlina didn't put me on the spot. It's not that I'm not open to a suggestion here and there. I just don't like it when businesses do a hard upsell. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I have an appointment to return in a few weeks. I highly recommend Chic Styling Salon! read more

Thanks Caralina for giving me such a beautiful haircut!! Thanks to my friend for recommending her and this place . This is my new found love . Caralina is super sweet and works great with your hair ( PS love the tea they served ;-) read more

I came to Chic Styling Salon for a Very last minute blow out and they were able to fit me in! Since it was my first time there they gave me 10% off yay! I believe Carlina was my stylist. Her personality was warm and welcoming. She made me feel so comfortable while being with her the entire time. She was super soft handed and gentle with my scalp. My usually stylist is literally banging my head around lol The only con was, my hair was not fully dried at the roots... it was still pretty wet. My hair is thick and curly so my curly hair girls know the deal... I was in a rush and told her that it was okay. It wasn't that big of deal but to some people it might be. I did book last minute and I know my hair is a struggle to work with. I went home and fixed it. All and all, the blow out did last me 3 days!! I will probably be back again and not book last minute. read more

I got my lashes done by Kailyn a while back and they were perfect. I wanted something natural and she gave me a really nice classic set. I got a lot of compliments and would go back. read more

Got a haircut and blow out here, the length of the trim was perfect. Definitely coming back :) Recommended by Ivy read more

Was just passing through on my way up to Oakland for a Bachelorette party and wanted to get a blowout before so I messaged Caralina that morning and she was able to squeeze me in. I had a great experience here even though this isn't my usual salon and Caralina really made me feel welcome and was easy to talk to. She also did an amazing job with my hair! A lot of the time with blowouts it's just get it done as quickly as possible but Caralina took her time and made sure it was exactly what I wanted. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area again! read more

If you're looking for quality hair care and a friendly local business to support, you've come to the right place! Carlina and her team provide excellent customer care and expert services. She recently walked me through my first professional coloring appointment and I'm thrilled with the results! Prices are reasonable, but be sure to book an appointment in advanced as they've definitely grown more popular in recent years and with good reason. read more

I was 3 minutes late. The. Stylist set me in chair, left for 5 min. She started to cut hair, I asked are you not going to shampoo,,,? She said that is a longer appt and had to be requested prior. She did not have time. I was shocked. That is a barber, not hair stylist. The reception person very welcoming Poor communication and customer service. I did not wash hair prior to visit On Purpose..part of the experience. Not good read more

Had a lovely wash and blow out with Natalie. She gave a wonderful head massage during the wash, and then took her time blow drying my hair. The shop itself is very cute, and they have coffee and snacks available while you wait. read more

By far the worst place I have been to. I usually have my son go to his usual hairdresser but I figured what the heck I'm already here. Well I asked for a dam come over and got him with a dam mushroom haircut!!! Like really! I kept asking her to fix it but I just got ignored and told that was the way the come over went! Idk how they are with the rest of there services but one thing is sure that I will take my service else were. read more

I came across Chic Styling Salon through yelp. While it didn't have many reviews the photos were amazing and the reviews seemed to glow from genuine satisfaction. That was enough for me to bite the bullet and schedule an appointment. I hadn't gotten my haircut in 3 years and was looking for a cut & highlight. After speaking with Carlina about what I wanted over the phone she recommended I come in for a consultation. I have never had anyone do a pre-consultation for a highlight/cut before so I was a little caught off guard but definitely appreciated her thoroughness. She explained that since I had virgin hair I wouldn't get the color I wanted in one shot. She told me what to expect in the process and we even went back and forth over the week sending each other pictures to finally nail down a style that would work for me. My hair took about 4 sessions (maybe 5?) to complete and I couldn't be happier! I went from virgin black, to various shades of blonde (to lighten for my end color), then to a steely silvery blue. I LOVEEEEEE IT! Throughout the process my hair maintained its integrity, is softer than what it was before I went in, and after years of not doing anything at all I've regained an appreciation for my hair again. After each session Carlina styled my hair and explained how to care for it to prevent it from breaking and fading. While her work is impeccable I think the best thing about Carlina is her honesty. She was upfront about the status of my hair and how much time it would take to do what I wanted to do while keeping it healthy. Other places may just sit you down and fry you up which is kind of scary especially if you don't know how much your hair can tolerate. Her prices are extremely reasonable, I overheard her prom updo quotes and realistically for the quality of work she provides her rate is a steal. I really can't say enough good things about this salon other than the best thing you can do is come in and check it out for yourselves. Truly, truly, truly a hidden gem in Fremont. read more

I was in need of a new stylist and this place exceeded my expectations. Now my friends and family go here for hair and nails. Great service along with spectacular results. This place is my new go to. read more

Chic Styling Salon - Very happy with my result of silver hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

Carlina is INCREDIBLE. So talented, so patient, super friendly. I came in on a Sunday afternoon to get my hair, makeup, nails done for an Indian wedding I was attending. My hair is the typical Chinese hair (super fine / soft) and I almost never wear makeup. Carlina gave me glamorous curls and beautiful, yet natural makeup that lasted through the whole night. She and her team worked their asses off to get me in-and-out within 2 hours -- incredible! Will definitely be back to get my hair cut and for all future indian family functions! read more

The owner is very friendly and styled my hair the way I like it. Excellent service, and I'm definitely coming back again .

I'm an idiot when it comes to hair. I don't know anything about keeping hair healthy or about styling. When I wanted to dye my hair for the first time, I wasn't going to trust myself with using products bought at the local store. A good friend told me about this place so I decided to jump in and give it a try. I walked in unannounced, and asked about a consultation for dying my hair. I was sat down and told not only about the process of what would be done, but also what I'll need to do to keep my hair healthy after the bleaching and before. That surprised me! Usually people just try to sell me things, but I was being taught and treated like a valued customer! I tried to haggle with the price for fun, I was given a quick playful thwack to my head with a clear verbal message that followed " You don't haggle for your hair!" The way it was said was more than just fun banter, that this wasn't just a job, she truly has pride in her work. At that moment I knew this was the place for me. As I got my hair bleached and colored over the next week, it wasn't just a sit down and get it done experience. I was asked about shade preferences, what kind of style I'm going for, and how I take care of my hair. I was told about pros and cons of every decision I had to make as well as taught how to treat my hair better. After the whole experience at this salon, I have to say I'm still an idiot when it comes to hair, but not as dumb as I was. The people here don't talk down to you, they explain and keep you up to speed. I came in thinking I was going to just get my hair dyed, instead, I came upon an experience that makes me want to come back again and again. Thank you so much, I appreciate everything you did for me! read more

I must say that I'm very particular when it comes to my hair especially when it come to whose cutting it! I was short for time and saw that chic styling salon was near by and had great reviews even though I am weary of yelp reviews half the time. I'm glad the reviews did not let me down. I walked in and I was immediately greeted by the receptionest. She was welcoming and offered me refreshments. They usually are booked but luckily they were able to fit me in. My hair stylists name was Carlina. She has a fun personality and I felt secure with all her professional experience in the hair industry. I could tell just by the way she handled my hair. I left feeling B-e-a-utiful! And got just what I wanted! Go checkout Chic Stlying Salon you won't regret it! read more

I love this place! Carlina was so sweet and explained to me the whole process of the service i was asking for. I got a short A-line cut and all over rich, dark brown color. I was nervous since I have super curly hair and it was pretty long as well. Carolina gave me color and style options and let me know what she thought would be best. I just moved from So Cal and I'm so happy to have found a place I can trust with my hair! read more

My friend and I went around the Fremont area going through quite a few salons, wondering where to get our hair done for a Balayage. When we came in and asked questions about having our hair worked on, we were pleasantly surprised. Carlina spoke to us and we had a bit of a consultation about how the process would work and explained quite a bit to us. My friend and I were immediately set on having our sessions here after that. It was actually really comfortable being here. The two hair stylists working here are sociable and easy to talk to, extremely informative, and dedicated to their work. I love how my hair turned out and how healthier it looks compared to before. My friend and I had Carlina as our hair stylist, and she went above and beyond our expectations. She would keep making sure that we were fine with how our hair looked, giving us more options on what we could do, and just making us feel relaxed throughout the process. Carlina is always looking out for the health of your hair, giving out pointers on how to care and maintain it, recommending products that could be used, giving us quite a bit of tips and advice in styling as well. Don't be nervous about asking her questions or telling her how you want your hair. It's your hair, style it the way you want to, and Carlina will deliver. My friend and I are more than satisfied with how our hair came out, and I would highly recommend Carlina's salon to anyone looking for a place to get their hair colored. Maybe try getting a haircut there too! Fun Fact: Carlina gives soothing scalp massages. Almost fell asleep whenever she washed my hair. read more

Chic Styling Salon - The result of my friend's balayage with curls! - Hair Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

I don't like getting hair cuts cause I'm usually getting cuts that are way too expensive or their cut is shorter than what I envisioned. But Carlina was amazing. I think I found my new favorite place to get a haircut. I usually cut my hair every 2-3 years so I would be able to donate it. Carlina was able to give great advice for hair treatment when needed. She checked in almost every couple of minutes to make sure she's cutting the right length that I wanted it or if there were any changes I would like. Overall amazing job well done. Certain recommend this to anyone. read more

I have visited this place a few times for root touch up and styling only because they always made sure they don't handle the hair in any rough way! I have always adjusted to the fact that the services have been way too slow and time consuming! But the few times I had went for partial highlights, never had I felt that I got the color I requested! Last few times I did not bother to give review to the owner and always went with what was done ! But this time ( I went this June 29th 2019 n then 30th again to fix) I clearly specified with pictures on what color I wanted before I went and still they did their own color! And this is the same color they have done for me the last few times I came in for partial highlights! I got very disappointed from the comments I received from my family post this coloring ( as I had hyped my folks telling I am going to get it colored this time right as I have detailed them on what's needed). Very very disappointing! read more

After trying several salons in the area and getting disappointed every time, I got my hair done by Carlina and I knew I wouldn't have to find a new salon anymore. It's been almost two years since then and every time I walk out of the salon after getting my hair done I can't thank her enough. Carlina is very professional and very good at what she does. The customer service is awesome. I would recommend this place anytime. read more

My friend and I went to many different salons that offered balayage around Fremont, but Carlina was the only one that gave us a consultation and a rundown of the whole process. She really took the time to describe everything and, as newbies to salons, we had this collective sigh of relief because we knew from then on that we were in good hands. Carlina is: - A Perfectionist: Would rather take some time to make you satisfied with the outcome, instead of damaging your hair in one session for the money. Some stylists offer balayage where they bleach and dye it at once... No, thanks. You cannot have what you want immediately without sacrificing the health of your hair. Ours took 4 weeks to complete (3 Mondays for bleaching and the last for dyeing), but it was completely worth it! If you don't like something, tell her! She's a very flexible person and can turn things around as you like them in a heartbeat-- if you let her know. - A Caring Person: Gives broke college students, like my friend and I, a break. We were able to get some price cuts on the full price of our balayage and styling products, but do not expect her to be so nice to everyone, though. In between the bleaching sessions we had, she gave us face masks and a haircare package (for free!) so that our hair could repair itself for another. Carlina also taught us some tips and tricks on how to curl our hair and she had us bring our curling iron to use for demonstrations. - Very Methodical: She takes her beauty classes to keep up with the trendiest stuff out right now and can explain to you how they work if you ask. We brought two pictures that served as a reference and she was able to come up with a plan to get our hair as close to what we envisioned. Worked great and we are really happy! Yeah, sure, there might not be a lot of reviews on Yelp for this salon but it will continue to gather more positivity since their service is excellent! The only downside is that their schedule is really tight so you have to call them to set up an appointment. With only two (?) people on deck, there is not much they can do with a packed day with the addition of walk-ins that want to be taken care of. It is STRONGLY recommended to call them or set up an appointment on their website where they will be the ones that will call you back. Awesome salon! :D read more
