Hailey took the time to understand what I was looking for and explained the process in the way that I understood. She made recommendations for color and services to help my damaged hair in a way that was clear she was doing what was best for me and my hair and not upselling at all. She even took the time to redo the color on my roots when it didn't come out quite right the first time (due to my hair's porosity not her mistake). I am so happy with how it turned out! Pics are before (poor highlights and cut and damage) and after (root cover up, red highlights and toner, subtle layers)

I had such a great experience with Tina! She did an amazing job on both my color and haircut.

She always takes the time to listen to what I'm looking for and makes sure I leave loving my hair. Tina is so sweet, talented, and really pays attention to the details. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. I'm so glad I found her and will definitely continue coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone you can trust with your hair!

SHORT STORY: TINA chemically burned my hair at the root and…read moreleft me signifiant hair loss and painful injuries . Do not be mislead by the 5 star reviews. LONG STORY: My stylist in San Franciso retired and I made an appointment with TINA because she presented herself as an expert in hair straightening services. TINA confidently assured me of her many years of experience and familiarity with Keratin Straightening, Brazilian Blowout and Japanese Thermal Reconditioning. The appointment was a disaster. Not only did TINA appear unfamiliar with Japanese Thermal Reconditioning procedures, but she simultaneously worked on another client while treating my hair - this is something I have never experienced in 30 plus years of getting my hair chemically straightened. TINA sat me on her chair and went straight to applying the solution. She didn't bother assessing the quality of my hair or even washing it. Looking back, the instant she started working on me, I felt I was in trouble. Unfortunately I simply didn't want to believe that someone with 20 years of experience did not know what they were doing and I was being lied to. I finally spoke up while she was focused on the other client, as I had to alert her that my scalp was burning. By that point, significant damage had occurred. I now have blisters on my scalp, with patches of hair crisped and dead at the roots; my hair is so severely burned it's stuck to my scalp. What's left of my hair feels like Velcron - frizzy, dry and immovable. Since the treatment, I've been losing hair at an alarming rate -- I find burned strands broken hair and tufts of cuticled hair everywhere I turn. This experience has left me with visible bald patches and ongoing hair loss that constantly reminds me of the damage TINA had done. I had invested many years and thousands of dollars into maintaining my hair, I beat myself up every day for trusting TINA. This single appointment has undone decades of effort. If my hair cuticle is not damaged permanent, it will still take years for my hair to recover. The physical, financial, and emotional toll has been devastating. Once my scalp heals, I will need to be fitted for a wig, yet another expense incurred due to TINA's lies and incompetence. I asked for a one inch trim - she cut off at least 5 inches. In hindsight she chopped off my hair because she had burned it. As I walked back to my car I finally had a chance to touch my hair and felt the severity of the damage. I immediately returned and showed TINA the damage she had caused. She told me to come back for a conditioning treatment. I had to leave for another appointment, and I was in too much shock to even argue with her. I came back in a week later and TINA told me she wanted to do a Keratin Treatment on it!!!! I told her she wasn't getting anywhere near my hair again and asked for my money back. She refused; TINA attempted to place the blame on me, claiming the treatment failed because my hair was "too dry". She then had the audacity to tell me it's my fault because I told her I've had the service done before. Indeed I've had Japanese Thermal Reconditioning done countless times with excellent results by real experts who knew what they were doing. I couldn't believe TINA was not taking any responsibility. My only recourse was ask another stylist working at the salon to look at my scalp an touch my hair. At that point she got scared, broke out in hives and gave me a refund. Looks to me like she's willing to say and do anything to pay for the new house she's building down the street. This experience has been deeply distressing, and I hope it serves as a warning to others seeking any kind of service from TINA.

No biggie b/c the place seems clean all around and I was in no rush. When it's my turn, I requested the "textured, two-block with a close fade".

However, all the positive energy stopped flowing when I returned back to her chair. She asked me if I wanted a side-part, which was the first red flag b/c a two-block is usually a mid-part. As for texturing, there's barely any scissor work involved; all she did was used the thinning scissor (the one with teeth) in a few places and that's it. Her primary tool was the electric razor which seemed very basic and left me wondering if she'd ever worked on men's hairstyles before. Out the door, I paid $40 for a haircut that my barber could've done a better job at.

Over the years, I've watched her grow from renting a chair in different salons to accomplishing the amazing milestone of owning her own space. It's been so inspiring to see her success.

I'll admit I once made the mistake of going somewhere else, and quickly learned my lesson-- no one compares to her work or the experience she provides. Going blonde isn't a quick process, but Jessie always checks in throughout the appointment to make sure you're comfortable. She truly cares about the health of your hair and is always continuing her education to stay up to date with the best techniques. She also recommends high-quality products to help you maintain your hair between visits. I constantly get compliments on my hair, and it's all thanks to Jessie's talent. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and takes pride in their craft, leave it into the hands of Jessie!!

The guy showed me how much to take off and I agreed, but he took off more, seemed like he was trying to make it even but couldn't. I just gave up and wanted the cut to be over, and figured I'll go somewhere else to have it fixed later. What I'm basing this rating on is the fact that he showed me a number on the calculator when I asked how much, and I said "OK", then he charged me $10 more. When I asked why? He just handed me $10 in cash. WHAT? I mean, there might be a language barrier for the haircut - maybe he thought I wanted my hair to be in all different lengths for some reason I can't fathom, but punching different numbers into a calculator vs the credit card machine just isn't about communication. Then he called out to a woman and she came and said "tip?" and I said ok, then she said "$10". Um, no, that's not how tips work. You don't charge someone more than agreed, then when you're caught, pretend that it was for a $10 tip that you didn't agree to. The thing is, I normally tip more, and usually in cash, but the whole interaction took me so much by surprise that I just left. The only thing positive I can say is that there were 2 men who came in while I was getting my hair cut, both got short buzz cuts, and they are definitely quick. So maybe if you're looking for something like that and you have exact change to pay exactly what you want to including tip, this could be a good place. Next cut, I won't just duck in someplace to get a quick trim.
