I wanted to love this salon…read more The space is beautiful. The decor is gorgeous, the aesthetic is cool, and the overall brand feels thoughtful and elevated. Unfortunately, the hair did not match the marketing. I came in looking for dimensional color with texture and visible tones woven throughout. I shared inspo photos and was excited to do something elevated yet edgy. Instead, I left with what was essentially a flat, jet black color from root to end. No dimension. No texture. The haircut was equally disappointing. There were only a few quick snips before we were done. Once I got home and styled it myself, I realized the cut was uneven and lacked shape. It was honestly one of the laziest haircuts I've ever received. The most shocking part was the bill. The total came close to about $500 for the color and cut. At that price point, I expect a thoughtful consultation, technical execution, attention to detail, and a result that resembles what was shared. What makes this especially disappointing is that I genuinely wanted to become a regular client. The salon has a great vibe and a strong creative identity. But when you're charging premium prices, the work has to justify it. Sadly, I left feeling like I paid luxury prices for a result that looked mid at best and did not reflect what I asked for.

She is fabulous, she will listen to what you want, and give you the haircut you've been searching for. My straight hair somehow magically has beachy waves, movement, and fullness.

She handled my kiddo's ambivalence about cutting her super long hair with such kindness, and my kiddo came out thrilled with her cut (a feat I did not think was possible she was so attached to her hair). My Mom has had people stop her to tell her how amazing her hair is. This salon is beautiful, welcoming, and friendly. Plus snacks and drinks!

As soon as I walked in I was offered a drink, a snack, and a magazine. They kept checking in throughout my appointment but weren't pushy about it.

Thankfully!! I found Grace Lopez from Head First Hair - she was phenomenal. They're located right on Grand Ave, but not on the blocks where parking is a nightmare. It's paid parking outside ($2.00 per hour, they meter until 6pm) but it's easy to find. It's right next to Safeway and other nail salons and stores nearby if you wanted to run some errands. Keep in mind, when you're looking for the place, the store is called Head First Hair, not Grace & Neary. She's got old school skills, so that means that she takes the time to wash your hair, condition it, take her time cutting your hair, making sure it's what you want, the whole nine yards. She's also so pleasant to talk to - it doesn't feel forced and you don't need to keep talking if you don't want to, she just feels like a comfortable, friendly soul. I got a trim and long layers. It took about an hour. I've got fine, Asian hair, and she did a phenomenal job. I've finally found the person I can keep going to, she's affordable ($30 for women's haircut), I'd highly recommend Grace any time!
