I've been seeing Amanda since 2017 and I can't trust anyone else. Amanda is patient, meticulous,…read moreand very, very talented (an extreme understatement). She always makes sure that I know exactly what I'm getting myself into including the time it would take to get the desired hair/color, educating me on how I can keep my hair healthy, and how to style my hair and the work involved. I'm very lazy and I'm constantly trying to persuade Amanda to persuade me that bangs is a good idea and I'm really glad I have her around to keep me from looking like Joe Exotic. I've gone from light to dark, dark to light, and everywhere in between with Amanda and honestly it's been the best decision I've ever made for my hair :') I highly recommend Amanda to anyone who is looking for a stylist who is trustworthy, amazing at her craft, and patient. She is also a great conversationalist and time always goes by so quickly when we're together. I feel extremely lucky to have found such a great stylist.

Moving from the peninsula to East bay, I was in need of a hairdresser closer to where I reside. I…read morecame across Savvy Hair Salon and decided to give the salon a try. I requested an appointment on Yelp and Linda (the manager) immediately responded within several minutes. Due to the complexity of my request and being that I was a first-time customer, she set up an appointment so I could have a consultation with one of the hair stylists (Gia) before actually getting my hair done. The initial consultation was postponed to the following week and I spent 10 minutes with Gia to figure out the details on my balayage and peekaboo under layer highlights. She provided great feedback and recommendations on styling my hair. On the day of my actual appointment, Gia spent quality time on making sure my hair would end up with the best results (as I previously had silver hair which presented a slight challenge). I also requested to have my waist length hair trimmed as it was uneven and dry. After 5 hours, I was surprised and content with the outcome! I had the sun kissed caramel balayage with a reddish brown (turned out to be more rose gold) peekaboo under layer highlight. My hair was a little shorter than I expected, but I'm sure it'll grow back in no time. At least my hair is healthier and not as overprocessed as it was before! The price for this salon is a little pricier than I anticipated. The balayage starts at $200, but the price can dramatically increase by $100-$200 with additional lightener and hair dye (especially with long hair) and a hair cut. Overall, I'm content with Savvy Salon and would recommend it to anyone!

This was my first time at this salon. I took snap shots of their pricing on their display and match with other salons in Fremont. It makes no sense to charge over $100 for just a cut. The economy has nothing to do with haircut prices going up. U r not using any products just the same scissors & your time. So I kindly request that she credit me $30 back. As my total amount charges are $164.00. I called her but she decided to challenge her rate. Ladies please go elsewhere don't go bankrupt getting chopped. Ur hair will survive this economy take care of your health and family until prices go down. Don't give business to such people who take advantage of world chaos and have zero talent. Get on TikTok and watch some videos buy a nice scissor from Amazon $10 and cut your own.

For years I've been seeing my cousin, who is a superbly talented stylist/colorist, for my hair…read moreneeds, but she unfortunately has had to cut her hours way back due to a serious health concern, so I was (reluctantly) looking for a new salon. I'd driven by Empire Salon many times and read the great reviews, so while I was scared to try someone different, I finally booked an appointment--and I'm glad I did. Michelle (the owner) and the other stylist at Empire, Louise, are very warm and friendly. Michelle is, like my cousin, truly a miracle worker when it comes to hair. My hair was in such bad shape that I was sure she was going to recommend I cut it short. (Think months of swimming outdoors + repeated highlighting + heat styling. It looked BAD.) When I told her that ideally I'd still like to be able to pull it back in a ponytail, I was sure she'd say that too much of my hair was beyond saving. However, when I walked out of her salon, I still had long hair, and even better, it still looks and feels amazing. The ultimate test for me of a great cut is that even after washing, and with no styling, my natural hair still looks good. I have fine, very wavy hair, and the first time I washed it after Michelle worked her magic, I just let it air dry and used no styling products... and it actually looked good. Not perfect like she when she professionally styled it, of course, but good. She'd even made my color look so much better--WITHOUT COLORING my hair--just by cutting and styling it. This woman has genuine talent. Also, her prices are reasonable. Finally, she has a small dog named Bear who treated me to canine karaoke. (Bear "sings" along with Michelle--who has a great voice--to Whitney Houston.) That was an unexpected extra. :-) I highly recommend Michelle and Empire Salon. One last thing: Michelle originally owned a much larger building next door to her current salon. That was where I'd originally seen Empire, so initially, I went there and knocked on the door, until I double-checked the address and realized she'd moved to a different building just to the right of it. There is also plenty of free parking in downtown Niles.
