Afy is the BRST in the business, she understands hair, texture, color, palette, and knows every technique you can think of for every type of hair. I have curly hair,I have yet found anyone who understands how to cut and properly color it. read more

Went into the salon today and met a very nice friendly lady named Afy. I asked her if she was up for a challenge to try and style my hair in a sleek detailed way and she said she was. She washed my hair with some fantastic smelling shampoo and got to work blending my hair and shaping it just the way I wanted it. She has a very good technique and eye with the way that she cuts her hair. Let alone is she very gentle when she cuts your hair. She explained to me how I should style it and what would look good for my facial structure. I definitely would refer her to anyone looking for a very precise, sleek haircut. Thank You Afy, See you next week read more

Cotyledon Hair Salon - Loving my new cut! - Hair Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I have been going to Afy for more than 10 years. She is true artist that styles and colors hair like no one else. I have fine hair so it is difficult to cut, color, and style, but I always leave her studio feeling like a super model. I highly recommend her because everyone leaving her studio looks gorgeous! Recommend calling for an appointment. read more

I had a girls weekend planned for a girlfriend's birthday celebration in NYC- working down the street I met the owner and after she told me her business, I asked if she had time for an appointment... I typically, go to Changes, but thought I would try someone new, especially after my positive interaction. With hours to spare before heading to the airport, I was sitting in a chair waiting for my appointment to begin... First, the area, is smaller than what you would expect. For me, being on crutches on the time, I couldn't maneuver, and felt claustrophobic. Trying to remind, her of my time restriction, she continued to chat away on various phone calls. I should have gone with my gut and tried to leave at that moment, but I had no choice... a girl needs a haircut, sometimes more than others, and this was one of those times. Needless to say, running thirty minutes behind, I left with a mediocre haircut and felt completely disappointed. I asked several times for the cut to change courses, yet, she kept saying, it would be great... not so much. I had to schedule an emergency appointment in NYC, after my friends gave me the WTF, look with their greeting. Trust me, I'm a girl that can usually go with the flow, but a baseball cap, couldn't even salvage the situation. read more

Cotyledon is truly "as good as it gets!". Lovely, privately owned salon by the stylist/artist. Her knowledge of mixing and applying color is beyond amazing and when cutting your hair you're in the hands of an artist. All products used from color to shampoos are ALL natural/organic, your hair not only feels wonderful, it smells subline and looks FANTASTIC. Cotyledon is truly a class act. read more

I found this studio while I was trying to find a store that sells Innersense products, decided to go to Afy then for a haircut. You would not regret getting a haircut at her place. My hair has not looked so good in a long time. It took me close to 2 years to find a place I can go to without a second thought. Afy is also generous with the samples she gives you to try out. Thanks Afy. read more

Afy is the absolute best at what she does!! Not only was she able to take me in for a last minute appointment, but she also never disappoints. She is accommodating, and makes you feel at home in her salon... something that is much appreciated from a stylist. The ambiance of her salon is very welcoming and relaxing. Overall, it was a very positive experience! Thank you so much, Afy. I love my new hair! read more

If you are new to Walnut Creek, or just looking for a great haircut, I highly recommend Cotyledon. I was turned onto this place by a friend about 8 years ago. Afi is great with color and gives precision cuts. She is always off attending new trainings and it shows. Her shop very warm and welcoming. Her prices are reasonable and her cuts and color are top notch. read more

Loved my hair cut and highlights! Owner/stylist, Afy had a knack for creating a hair style based on type of job, personality, and lifestyle. Stylist asked all the right questions. I walked for first time into this salon thinking of a short hair cut, but was not entirely certain. Stylist suggested on trusting her to find a look for me. I did! She did not disappoint! I was even shown how to blow dry my hair by watching stylist blow dry another long time customers hair. Owner who cut my hair was so calm and knowledgable. She managed to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment even though she already had other clients booked. I was in and out in 2 hours even while working on other clients. Stylist had great advice on how to care for my hair without ever pushing sale of products. I highly recommend meeting with owner/stylist. 20 years owner/stylist of this salon speaks volumes. Works for herself I believe by self. Check Afy out! Cutest cozy ambiance of a salon only makes me want to return sooner than later. :) read more

I went to Afy two months back to get a haircut and I totally fell in love with the hair do she gave me. I asked her to do anything that would suit my face. Yes, anything. I just needed change after years of having the same look. What she did with my hair was wonderful and I still keep getting compliments from people I know. I went back for a trim today and will keep going back because I can totally trust her with my hair!! read more

Afsaneh is amazing. She knows so much about hair and how it's structures your face and what cut would look best on you. To be honest I found Cotyledon studio by accident. My hair was unmanageable and I had tried different salons and products and none of them worked. Afsaneh took time to understand what I do for a living, and how I style my hair for work and during the weekends. Afsaheh worked her magic and layered my hair and gave me a more symmetrical cut. She explained every step before she did anything and was very thorough when asking what kind of look i wanted. I'm very satisfied with how my hair looks now. From the moment I left her studio I have heard nothing but compliments on my hair. I love my hair and I love that she tells me exactly what to use and do with it and it looks fabulous. I love her energetic personality and I love her work. Totally recommend Afsahneh to everyone with every hair type. read more

Always feel wonderful when I leave the salon. Have never had a bad hair cut. Owner Afy uses all natural products so salon does not smell of chemicals. She has fresh flowers overall a lovely ambience. If you are a regular client she will go out of her way to fit you in for a last minute touch up appointment. I don't mind waiting occasionally as I know she will give me as much time as needed once she gets started. She listens to what you want for a style and cuts accordingly. read more

I have been a customer of Afy for a very long time and the reason I continue to go back is that she is one of the best in the business at cutting hair. The place is always clean and she is very willing to work with me on a time that works for my schedule. I love the location as well! read more

It's not always easy to find a great stylist/colorist, so when you do you don't leave! Unless you move.......but once back in the East Bay, I returned to Afy for my hair needs. She has an artistic eye when it comes to combining cut/color to enhance facial features. This special gift along with her extensive training really creates great results, so happy to be back! read more

Afy is a very knowledgeable hairstylist, she takes regular classes to be updated with latest styles and colors! More important for me, she cares about the health of her clients hair. My hair was getting tin and dry and a friend of mine who has been Afy's client and friend for about 27 years recommended her. She uses high quality organic products and she brought my hair back to health! read more

I have been going to Afy (owner of Cotyledon) since I was in High School for over 10 years. I love her highlights, cuts, blow drying technique and when she washes my hair it is to die for. She always puts the best products on my hair from shampoo, condition, treatments, etc. She stays current on the latest hair trends by attending seminars and I know I can trust her recommendations! I admit I have plenty of times cheated on her and went somewhere else b/c it was closer and convenient for me. But I always come running back to her and she completely understands. She always says to me "I'm not worried about you hunii, I know you will come back." And she is so RIGHT ;) Her CUTE and unique salon is designed by her and is one of a kind. So if you are shopping around for your BEST hair ever Afy is the one. read more

I have been going to Afy for a year now, after passing by her salon and just asking for an appointment on the spot. Luckily she had availability and since then I have been hooked. She is an expert on color and cut and the atmosphere at the salon is friendly and welcoming. Parking is readily available even though it's right in the center of Walnut Creek, which makes it so convenient to go for lunch or shopping right after. It's the perfect spot. read more

Afy is the best. She knows exactly what she is doing. My girlfriend goes to her regularly and looks amazing.

Get your hair cut and colored here. read more

In Aug 2008 I was in an accident and both arms were in a cast. I went to Cotyledon to have my hair cut very short for ease. Afi was wonderful. She met my need with charm and support. Since then, I've started using Cotyledon exclusively as my hair studio of choice. Afi is creative with her suggestions - has never steered me wrong - all the while providing excellent customer service and a warm welcoming environment. read more
