When I arrived to my appointment, nobody was there even though I was 10 minutes early, nobody was at the salon to greet me. After inspecting my scalp, the ladies insisted that I purchase a service and a serum to add to my package. It would cost an additional $50...I never agreed to purchasing this service. When I was done with my service and I was ready to leave they told me I owed them $50 and I owed them a tip.!!! They told me I could either pay with a credit card or a Venmo or Zelle. Long story short, be prepared to be pressured into purchasing additional services and tipping... even if you don't consent

I booked my appt…read moreahead of time for myself and one of my friends as a birthday gift outing, there were no issues being able to schedule both at the same time which was really nice that way we didn't have to wait for each other to finish. Parking is out front, the spa is tucked in the corner of the plaza with a quiet calm indoor setting. Loved the foliage decor hanging from the ceiling. The spa room was clean, professional, & ready for us upon arrival. We both received the beginner hair head care since it was my friends first time and over a year since I last went. The service was amazing, total relaxation and such a nice calming vibe. Seeing the zoomed in view of my scalp with their special camera is always so cool to see. I'm able to adjust my hair wash routine per their recommendations so that's helpful too!! The massage was a relaxing, with the hair scan and the hair care happening afterwards. Everything was wonderful, my hair felt so light leaving the spa. The head massage, scrubbing, was fantastic and the products smelled so nice. I'm over due for a hair cut but wanted to come here first to get my hair deep cleaned and wow, I feel brand new. I can tell my hair & scalp gets healthier after every visit because I can see what my scalp health is like and make life adjustments. This has helped my hair growing long and strong. I actually came about a month before getting married too, it was the perfect hair reset before the big wedding day! Iseriously cannot recommend this service or place enough. The blow dry at the end left me feeling so renewed, such a sweet way to spend time with my friend and also get our hair in tip top shape! All the hair specialist professionals are so sweet and professional, very attentive to our needs and make you feel taken care of. Will definitely be returning for my future hair care needs.

I could definitely feel the difference after the appointment. Normally my scalp feels itchy/oily the day after washing, but I didn't feel the need to wash my hair again until two days later. Each room is private and only fits one person. I did the beginner head care, which starts with a back massage over a thin blanket. Definitely come without jewelry. They also massage your arms a bit. After a while, it turns into skin-to-skin massage, so your top will be off. They lift the blanket to cover their eyes (lol) while you flip over before washing your hair. The hair wash itself was amazing. The back-and-forth motion with what felt like a brush felt sooo good. I didn't realize you could be that rough with your scalp (in a good way). My only small wish was more neck massage, but overall it was such a great experience that it actually got me thinking about their membership. Everyone was super nice, relaxing music played the whole time, and they finish by blow-drying your hair. Bonus: they have a small parking lot too.

I received a hair transplant in 2024, and 2017 from this clinic. Dr Canales is a good person and…read moregenuine. He is just not very involved in the procedure. Which I didn't like. The nurses who were involved in my procedures were not focused, mingling amongst one another/distracted, it was very unprofessional. I went to one of the top surgeons in the world located in Sofia, Bulgaria Dr. Zarev for a consultation. Arguably one of the best surgeons in the world when dealing with high Norwood cases. The grafts placed in my hairline didn't look natural at all. A lot of gaps, no single grafts along the hairline, and very pluggy appearance, and large punch sizes, a lot of see through due to the grafts not being placed in an angle. Dr. Zarev told me I would be a repair case. A surgeons job to over see and Dr. Canales failed at that. In my follow ups with Dr. Canales it just seemed like he didn't care about my concerns. My growth in the crown from the transplant never grew and he kept saying they will grow and that was 2 year follow up. I have learned a lot about hair transplants in the last few years and have learned from my mistakes in terms of choosing a surgeon. Thankfully even after my botched hair transplants I have 8,800 grafts left for a lifetime with Dr. Zarev the surgeon I consulted with due to higher level of donor management and tools. This clinic is amateur in comparison to other clinics abroad and technology is behind. Do your research! Go on the hair transplant network forum and research these Dr's. The results are sub par they don't look natural and the thing with hair transplants you want them to look like nothing ever happened. And don't be fooled by Dr. Canales in studio cameras. The lighting favors the results, but when you look in close view or sunlight the results are not there. Yes you will never get your original density as you once did. But there are clinics that will mitigate the see through effect on transplants. Nurses should not be implanting grafts it should be the surgeon! They should only sort the grafts into single, doubles, and triples. The surgeon at the end should implant them. Hope this helps. A hair transplant is a really personal thing and important if you don't have a surgeon who is involved and cares they can ruin your donor.

The color and style are a perfect match and now I look like me again! Her friendly but professional no-nonsense approach is so refreshing, especially after all the bad experiences I've had lately in trying to solve my thinning hair problem. I bought many toppers online claiming to be real hair, none of them worked, color was off, style was off and they are all in the garbage now! Then I went to another "hair loss specialist"salon also in San Mateo and was required to pay $100.00 for a consultation which was really about selling me extensions that are glued in and need redoing frequently at a hefty charge. This is after I clearly said I didn't want extensions. I was offered the option of buying a topper that would cost over $3k. There were no sample toppers in various styles to try on before sinking thousands of dollars site unseen and not returnable. The only samples there were to show color and all were long straight hair, no shorter styles, nothing curly. You'd basically need to special order it and fingers crossed, you like it because there are no returns. Why she couldn't have purchased some samples herself to have for potential customers to try before buy, I don't know..... I was also required to sign a legal contract before my consultation stating that I won't write a negative review, and allowing a photo release. And a bunch of other no-no's. All just to be ABLE to come in! None of this ridiculousness with Kelly though, just good products, displaying lots of sample styles and colors to try on and choose from. Great products, great service and prices that are literally HALF the cost of the other salon and fast too!, less than a week! I'll be a lifetime happy customer of Kelly Dinger!

Em is that girl. She's THE west coast hair expert and I couldn't be more grateful to have met her…read more I have been struggling with an autoimmune condition for most of my life and unfortunately, my hair has taken the brunt of my disease. A couple of years ago, I decided to invest in a mesh-integrated system from an out-of-state salon to cover my hair loss. This system was somewhat less expensive than the piece Em created for me, but it ultimately cost me much more in so many different ways. I paid more out of pocket during each visit, I enjoyed the system for less than half of the time that I wore it, and I learned to ignore the truly severe discomfort I experienced following each visit. Then, I moved to SF and I found Emily and the Bond Hair Bar team. Not only do they excel in timeliness and creating a personalized piece that is gorgeous, but the salon is filled with warmth and an energy that instantly lets you know that you're in caring, capable, and trustworthy hands. I started with a consult and was fitted with a personalized piece a couple days later...give them a call and schedule a consult!

I don't normally write reviews, but after a distressing and painful experience, I feel obligated to…read moreshare what happened. I came in specifically for a consultation and service regarding sew-in wefts, wanting to switch to a thinner weft method. Instead of listening, Emily repeatedly insisted that I didn't have enough hair for extensions and pressured me to shave my head for a glued topper. (I have since consulted three other Bay Area extension specialists, and all three confirmed I have plenty of hair for thinner wefts.) When I refused to shave my head, she pushed a clip-in topper priced at $X,XXX, which I later discovered retails elsewhere for roughly $650. During that same visit, she cut my existing extensions far too short. We nonetheless placed an order for the new thinner wefts. On installation day, the newly ordered wefts arrived in completely the wrong color due to a lack of proper color swatches during our initial consultation. Most frustratingly, I explicitly requested from my very first booking that only Emily perform the work, as I was paying for senior-level expertise. Instead, she handed me off to an assistant to reinstall my old wefts, then acted as though waiving the reinstallation fee was a favor--even though the reinstallation was only necessary because of her initial color-matching mistake. Within 48 hours, the tension and pain from the assistant's installation became severe. Another salon had to perform an emergency removal, documenting visible scalp redness, tension, and inflammation (see attached photo). When I reached out to Emily regarding the severe pain and improper tension, there was zero concern for my scalp health or safety. Instead of checking the work, she responded with immediate hostility, condescension, and intimidation. Her direct text response: "Where are you at? I need to come and have a face-to-face conversation with you and this is not gonna go back-and-forth. Vxxxxx would not be on my schedule if she did not do good work. If she placed them too lightly, you would complain they're getting loose and falling out of your head and causing hair loss also if theres room to pull, do you understand me? It is not rocking science to learn how to do this on a doll head for six months straight. She does the same work I do. She does not want them to fall out of your head. Because then your issue would be a different issue they're falling out and you wanna come back and have them replaced. Unless you're gonna come in and have a face-to-face conversation, I do not expect to hear another text back from you. Thank you for your understanding. Lastly, I don't need to hear your rationalization about how long someone should be practicing one service in your eyes to be good at what they do. She's doing my work exactly as I've trained her to do for over six months on a doll head. Thank u and good bye" Final takeaway: While I initially booked here based on many positive reviews, my experience proved that true professionalism isn't measured when things go smoothly, it is measured by how a business responds when something goes wrong. When a client explicitly requests an experienced senior stylist to avoid injury, handing them off to an assistant and justifying it by saying they 'practiced on a doll head' is completely unacceptable, especially when it results in real scalp inflammation and pain. When a client reports pain, demanding face-to-face confrontations, talking down to them, and issuing ultimatums is entirely unprofessional. Past good reviews never excuse hostility. Every client deserves respect, and client safety and consent must always come before ego.
