I have been blonde for 25 years, and this year I wanted a change in my life. Being a woman the 1st thing we change is our hair lol. Clark Russell Salon was so inviting, I mean did not even have an appointment and I was still welcomed. I felt so relaxed there, and at ease. For those who know me this is not an easy feeling that comes to me. Heather Carr a hair stylist there took great care of me!! I told her I want something new something bold, but I don't know anything about hair or what it is I want, I just know I don't want to be blonde any more. This blessed girl Heather Carr talked me over some of her ideas and said I know what would look great on you and that will make your eyes stand out and complament your skin tone. Heather displayed such confidence in what she was talking about I said get to work. And low and behold I love my hair, for the 1st time in my life I felt like I was looking at the real me. I have the best color of red, dark chocolate brown low lights and more red high lights. I never ever thought of me with red hair but secretly have always wanted it and Heather Carr made it happen. I will always go back to Heather Carr at Clark Russell salon because of their sweet and kind staff, knowledge of hair and ability to put people at ease. Thank you so much I will always come back. read more

I was hesitant to go to Clark bc I am cheap :) but after being dissapointed by countless hair stylists and finally breaking up with my last co-dependent hair stylist I decided to give him a try based on all of his great pics on FB and my friend's experience. I've had a history of staying with the same stylist for 2-3 years, hoping for a miracle and being dissapointed every visit. This man is a genius. A true professional who is worth every dollar you will spend. I was tired of telling people how I wanted my hair cut/ colored or styled and wanted someone to make the decision for me based on what would look best on me- Clark did that. He spent 4 hours making me look beautiful and while I spent the equivelant of a plane ticket on the service, I would and will do it again. Finally someone talented who cares and owns his talent and is truly making the world more beautiful one person at a time. I will tell all of my girlfriends to go to him.. He listened to me, assessed me, made suggestions and then executed those suggestions. For the first time in my life I walked out with my hair styled flawlessly, I can't wait to take this out for spin. Get Clark-ed- you will be better if you do. read more

I have been through MULTIPLE hair dressers....but have never been as happy as I am with Jeffrey. He's absolutely wonderful. Naturally...I'm brunette. I know that I feel better as a blonde [but have a pretty sensitive scalp...] Jeffrey takes extreme care when doing my hair. Bringing someone to a consistent blonde is not an easy or quick process [and comes with potential to do a lot of damage]...but he does it with such easy & expertize. All the while giving me advice, tips & recommending products that work with my hair type. No joke - this guy is amazing!!!!! Jeffrey is the hairdresser I want to grow old with!!! [weird thing to say...i know...but I'm serious.] I really do love Clark Russell Salon. I love everything about it! It's clean - they play a variety of good music! Gina is awesome & ALWAYS friendly whenever I call/come in...it really just is an awesome experience...Clark, Gina, Jeffrey & the rest of the gang - you all are amazing & make my day every time I come in! I will continue to recommend Jeffrey & Clark Russell Salon as my #1 place for hair! read more

This was my 2nd time at Clark Russell and I had another great experience with Clark himself. First, I wanted him to Ombre my hair. This is a new coloring technique and although Clark wasn't completely familiar with it, we looked online and discussed options. I also wanted to add additional color by tie-dying my ends, in bright colors (another new trend). Clark was completely up for it and spent the time getting it just right! I think some stylists might have thought it too much work, or too detailed, but Clark was totally up for it. He also did an amazing blow dry - I don't think my hair has ever been so soft or so straight. I absolutely LOVE the end result. The salon itself is gorgeous. It's tasteful with plenty of natural light and definitely on the "hip" side. Looks like a new HUGE screen TV will be in place soon as well! The staff is friendly and the vibe is very fun and comfortable. The only thing perhaps lacking was a nice espresso or a mimosa, lol! I'll definitely be back and will recommend to all my friends! A solid 5 stars from me... read more

I've been to Clark's salon a few times. Once for a new-do for job interviews that helped me feel more confident knowing I had someone styling me to look good and not just giving me a hair cut. His prices may be a bit high but you are getting an experience and not just a seat in a chair and someone snipping away at your hair and your not sure they know what they are doing, Clark definitely knows what he is doing! I have curly hair that only a few have been able to make look good, especially short. He is one of them. With his experience he can tell you what will look good or take your idea and make it a reality that you will love. The salon has a great atmosphere with friendly people, I feel welcome every time I go. read more

HEATHER CARR is one amazing hair stylist and makeup artist! She spent time with me, discussing what I wanted and then made recommendations for my approval. Heather has a calm, sweet spirit; she is friendly, but not overbearing. She is obviously quite knowledgeable about hair, skin, and the way different products and techniques can enhance or detract from your best looks. As she worked on my hair and makeup, she explained everything I would need to know to maintain the look. My hair (cut and colored) has never looked better. For special occasions or an everyday look that is better than you ever imagined, Heather is the go-to lady! Thanks, Heather! read more

I have been going to Clark since 1999. First time I went to Clark was following a dye job disaster, my sister told me to go see him and that he would fix me up. She was so right, I walked out of that hair appointment with hair that would have made Jennifer Anniston jealous! I have not gone anywhere else since. I actually would rather let my roots grow out than trust my hair to anyone other than Clark! He and his staff are super friendly and wonderful people as well, I am always made to feel at home. I guess I am biased! But they have earned every little star. I always walk out with movie star hair... if only they could do my body too! read more

While watching Clark's makeover segment on KRON 4 this morning it reminded me just how wonderful and professional he is. He's such a pro when it comes to hair color and styling. I, too, had strayed for a while and will never do that again. I never know how to describe to him the style that I'm looking for but Clark always seems to know what fits me best! It's a nice feeling when you can place all of your trust in your hair stylist, to enter the salon knowing that you're going to leave looking and feeling beautiful and to me, that's worth every penny!! Thank you Clark, Gina and all the warm, friendly staff. read more

I have been to see Clark for several months and love the look I get everytime I walk out the door. I wasn't really happy the first time, but on my second visit I explained what I didn't like and Clark listened and then fixed the problem. I was a bit shocked by the overall price, but was somewhat prepared as I had gone the website before calling to set up an appointment for a consultation, so I knew that I would be paying more then I was used to. I would have to say that everytime I go, Clark and his staff make it a fun experiance and I have not been disappointed with the overall results. read more

If you are looking for a 5 star haircut and color, you should make an appointment at Clark Russell's Salon. Located off of Mt Diablo Rd. in Walnut Creek, it is minutes from Broadway Plaza. The Salon has a relaxing feel and you are treated more than just a client. I personally have had Clark doing my hair for 10 years now, and I would not let anyone else do my hair. Everyone is so friendly and professional that you can't wait for your next appointment. Take my advice, make an appointment. You can use me as a referral. Make sure you get the works! It's so worth it. read more

I had a fantastic first experience at Clark Russell!! Clark and Shayla both worked on me, sometimes at the same time, I felt like a rock star! They are both super knowledgeable and talented, and I love the richness of the colors that Clark came up with for me. The thing that impressed me most was their honest assessment of my hair style, they weren't afraid to tell me that it didn't represent who I was to my best advantage, and that's super important to me, especially in my line of work. The salon is very welcoming and comfortable. I can't wait to go back! read more

I moved to Walnut Creek this past August and was forced to venture out and find a salon that would meet the expectations my last salon fulfilled. Clark's salon did just that and more! I went under-the-scissors for the first time in mid-August and loved the end product. I had a new color and a new cut, and I felt like a new me. I've only been there a couple of times so far, but have had wonderful experiences every time. I am so happy that I have found an exceptional salon with exceptional staff who are able to work with what I want and give me what I need! read more

Shayla does my color, cut, everything and she is just amazing. I finally love my hair and get exactly what I want. She does my hair as if it were her own; she cares that much! Shayla really listens and thinks about what works for me, like an artist! Seriously. I love her. She just did a KeraSmooth conditioning treatment on my hair (I have coarse, thick Italian hair) and the result is unbelievable. And it will last for months. So easy too! Thank you Shayla! I can't imagine how you do it! You are very appreciated. read more

After year's of different hair salons, I finally found the salon and the stylist who knows how to create the best look for me and my hair! Clark is a wizard with color, cut's and styling!! I can't say enough...you have to give your hair the opportunity to meet Clark! My daughter lives in SF and makes the trip out to have Clark perform his magic! We will never have anyone else touch our tresses again! The staff is wonderful and the salon is very chic! Check out their cool website! read more

I love this new salon in Lafayette! A very nice, comfortable upscale salon in a great location which was easy to find from the freeway. I am a hard to please client and was blown away by the talent of stylist Heather Carr. She provided a superior cut with high light/low lights. I could not be more pleased. A great experience, well worth the drive from anywhere in the Bay Area. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

For whatever reason, living out of the area etc., I have been coming back to Clark for years! Everytime I stray because a salon is closer to my house I always come crawling back to Clark because he is the BEST!! The color is always right on and the cuts are amazing, everytime I go to him I have countless people ask me where I get my hair done! If you want a FABULOUS look Clark is it!! read more

Been going to Clark for many years, and I am consistently super happy with his work! Yes it can be expensive to have multiple processes like a root touch-up with high or low lights at the same time, but that is also not necessary at every coloring appointment. Well worth the expense to have a great color and cut and feel absolutely fabulous each and every time! read more

The salon is inviting, friendly, and professional. The staff are friendly and talented. The products are great. Clark is a master at color and cut. I would not trust any other salon to take care of me and my family!! read more
