Such a wonderful experience from start to finish! The salon is immaculately clean with a sleek, modern aesthetic, and every detail feels so thoughtfully curated. As soon as I settled in, I was offered a choice of drinks from their mini menu, which was such a welcoming touch. My stylist, Briijit, took the time to truly listen to what I wanted. I was very specific about keeping my length while refreshing the shape, and she executed it perfectly. I also came in with a very specific hair color in mind, and she completely nailed it! The shampoo was incredibly relaxing, and the final blowout was perfection. Between the easy parking, the unhurried atmosphere, and the exceptional results, this place is a total gem. Beautiful space, incredible attention to detail, and top-tier service. I can't recommend this salon enough! read more

Last minute appt, last customer of the day, first time here. I was blown away by Jr Stylist, Yesenia, for her skills. She's got sass with skills to back it up. Such a doll. Love my cut! Book her! read more

I can't say enough great things about Alicia! She did an amazing job on my highlights and was incredibly thorough the entire process. She took her time with the bleaching process and allowed the foils to lift gradually instead of rushing it, making sure my hair wasn't damaged or orange. I'm in love with my hair! On top of being talented, Alicia's also so sweet and easy to talk to. She genuinely listens to what you want, pays attention to every detail, and puts so much effort into making sure you leave happy. You can tell she truly cares about her clients. I'm beyond happy with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful color and someone you can fully trust with your hair! read more

Dollhouse Salon - Hair by Maxine - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I've been getting my hair cut at Dollhouse for a couple of years. I always book with the junior stylist because it's cheaper and the cuts are still great. Keep in mind any haircut at the shoulder or above are $75, while longer layered cuts are $55. So even if you are cutting off less inches to maintain a shorter hairstyle, it would cost more. The haircut includes a wash and styling which I appreciate! read more

Beautiful and fairly priced haircut. Comes with wash, cut, and style. You are even offered a drink upon arriving and the whole experience feels very luxurious. I got a long layered haircut a month ago and still am receiving nonstop compliments on my hair. The shape is better and somehow my hair now looks so much fuller and thicker despite always getting the same haircut at other salons. I will come back again for my next trim. read more

Wonderful I enjoyed the environment. The staff were great and kind. I haven't had a hair cut in forever. The owner was kind and walked me through my hair style and texture that would bee be suited for my hair. read more

Absolutely in love with the service & hospitality brought by this women-owned business. This salon offers a beautiful bright modern atmosphere paired with a group of amazing stylist's who will make your hair problems disappear! One of the nicest spaces I have come across in Cherry Avenue for sure and I have to admit that Vanessa (manager) is doing an amazing job keeping the place warm. She answered all my questions and was kind enough to offer close to home hospitality. Yoselin's work on my friend's hair was absolutely amazing too! Giving her a new look and color to match Vanness read more

I used to come here regularly pre covid. However, I've been calling them for the last TWO WEEKS and no one picks up the phone. I've called at different times on different days. Only once did I get a live person and she put me on hold for over 10 min so I hung up . I've booked with another salon and already had my hair done now. Don't worry, won't be calling again. read more

I loved my time here! I got a gloss to recover my old hair color- my stylist was Vanessa and she was absolutely lovely! The salon is also really nice inside, will be coming back soon. read more

Came here for a layered cut and bang trim with Michelle since I had a lot of split ends on both my bleached and virgin hair, and she was incredibly friendly and efficient. I was in and out in around an hour. I really enjoyed talking with her about hair health/her preferred products, she was also very knowledgeable about Asian hair types and what products work best for me and recommended that I use a texturizing spray since my hair is quite flat at the top and doesn't have any volume. I also mentioned that I don't do my hair frequently, and she assured me that this is a cut that looks good with minimal styling. Check out the photos uploaded here and on her IG @hairby.michi for more pictures of her work! The interior is very sleek and they use a wide bevy of professional hair products here (Redken, Pureology, Oribe, etc.). Definitely a luxurious experience, the cut was $55 before tip and I will be returning to this salon in the future. read more

I had Tye, and he was so accommodating to what I wanted!! He gave me tips on what to do for my after hair care, what would look best for my features, and was so precise with my haircut! At first I wanted a haircut and the attention to detail was perfect!! Even with washing my hair, he made sure to dry my ears just in case there was water in them (he did such a great job no water splashes anywhere near my face!!) My hair feels so light now! I told him my future plans of wanting my hair to be less brassy and he gave me tips on what to do and also offered a service of a hair gloss which cooled down the tone of my hair! I love it so much. He gave me his business card and offered to reach out if I ever had any questions. Everyone in there was so friendly, I was greeted with a smile from everyone. The salon was so clean and aesthetic as well. 100% will go back and recommending to everyone I know. read more

I had the worst experience working with a Jr. hair specialist that probably joined the salon few months ago and she came from Ukraine . She didn't do the job correctly in the first attempt so I asked for an another appointment. I was very clear that I only color the part which shows gray hair but in the second appointment, instead of fixing the old problem , she thought it's easier to apply the color on the whole scalp. I kept telling her not to touch roots but she had her own explanations and continued to do what seemed correct to her. Now the results are : I have itchy scalp with lots of dandruff and roughness , specially the bottom part of my hair is badly damaged. Tremendous amount of hair fall which I never had in my life (clearly the color she applied had something in it ). Even though she said it's ammonia free, but while she was applying this color, I told her this is the first time I am feeling the itchiness and headache but her answer was , "oh I don't know why you feeling this way, it's probably your skin". She couldn't even get rid of black spots from my forehead after the wash. Although it wasn't the first time that I requested ammonia free hair color from this salon but it would definitely make me never going back there . read more

Both of my daughters love their stylists at Dollhouse! One daughter sees Michelle, who is so sweet and always delivers on exactly what my daughter asks for. My other daughter sees Tye for her curly cut, and he gave her the best haircut she's ever gotten! Tye is much better than another curl specialist at the salon who is unfriendly and half asses her cuts. She once finished my daughter's entire appointment in less than 30 minutes and my daughter's hair was still dripping wet when she checked us out. Thank goodness we found Tye! read more

I got a blonde balayage done a couple of months ago at this salon. I came about 10 days prior to ask if I could book an appointment for a specific date from as early as possible to maximum 1:30 pm (I had a nearby in person work meeting at 2:00). The receptionist immediately texted a Jr stylist, who quickly agreed to come in, and scheduled my appointment for 9:00-1:30. I did express some hesitation because they said it would take 5 hours to do but then scheduled my appointment for 4.5 hours. I made it very clear that I could only book if the timing could be accommodated. They said it shouldn't be a problem. And so I was super excited for my appt especially since I had never gotten my hair done before. The day of the appt, I come in at about 8:45 and was seated at 8:55. I notified my stylist of my time constraint and once again, she said it won't be a problem. Overall, she was very nice and I had a great time talking to her. However, during my appointment, she had two other clients, all long hair & curly haircuts. Normally this wouldn't have bothered me, but I was getting nervous of cutting it too close to my meeting. It was about 12:40 when she finally washed my hair after applying bleach. I thought I could still be on track, but I didn't know that she would take another hour for the toner. She kept switching between toning my hair and styling another client's hair. At this point, it was 1:40 and only about 1/8 of my hair had been blow dried. From 1:10-1:40, I reminded her twice that I had to go to work. I was noticeably frustrated and got out of the chair to leave with wet hair. Then, she finally called another stylist to finish blow drying my hair. I told her I have to go but she insisted they can finish my hair. It was 2:15 when I finally walked out of the salon. My hair was dry but it was not styled. I had tears in my eyes (and honestly cried in my car on the way) in fear of being in trouble at work. I am happy with the results and I have gotten lots of compliments, which is why I am not name dropping/blaming the stylist. However, I wish my time constraint had been taken more seriously rather than the stylist being spread across multiple clients. I'm unsure whether this was a scheduling issue or a management decision, but it unfortunately left a lasting impression. Now that I need a touch-up, I wish I could come back to this salon but I can't seem to forget this bad experience I had. I hope they can improve their customer experience to focus on each individual person instead of a money-hungry business. read more

my stylist, Michelle, was so irresponsible. I scheduled an appointment one month earlier. I mentioned I have a lot of hair and asked for weekend appointments. I waited one month and when she showed up, she said oh I don't have enough time for what you want! She was indeed very disrespectful as well. I wanna get a balayage for my birthday which never happened thanks to irresponsible Michelle! read more

I got a long, layered cut with Tye. He did such a great job! He fixed my really choppy cut from a few months ago and brought it back to life. He was super attentive and detailed. He even gave me a lot of tips on how to style my hair. I will definitely be coming back and recommending him to all my friends! :) read more

Nicole is an amazing stylist. She has done my color and cut a number of times and every appintment I leave her chair loving the result. I would especially recommend her for fellow thick hair folks. On top of great work, she's incredibly kind and keeps appointments timely. read more

Dollhouse Salon - Highlights and gloss by Nicole - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

This is my new go to salon! I had the pleasure of meeting a hairstylist named Sasha and she was very well versed in hairstyles, hair type, and techniques. I requested a lot of layers witn face framing bangs and she did not disappoint! I've noticed that this was the first time where when I requested a lot of layers, I got exactly what I asked for. Usually I wouldn't be fully satisfied with my haircut until I went to this salon. Sasha was so meticulous and informative that I learned so much about my hair and how to style it within one session. It was such a pleasant experience and I was beyond happy with the results! I'm definitely coming back here for any future haircuts. read more

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Dollhouse Salon. In a town as small as this, I was shocked to hear the stylist gossiping about me to other clients especially since she doesn't even know me. It was not only unprofessional but also completely inaccurate and inappropriate. To make matters worse, she ruined my daughter's hairstyle, which left her in tears. As a mother, it's heartbreaking to see your child upset and I did what any parent would do to try and make it right which vocalizing my concern to the Hair Stylist and she completely ignored me. Maybe now that she's a new mother herself, she'll begin to understand what a parent is willing to say or do for their child's happiness. This stylist should focus more on professionalism and honing her craft instead of spreading gossip especially in a small community where word gets around quickly. The quality of service was poor, and I cannot recommend Dollhouse Salon based on this experience. read more

I've been seeing Michelle C. for over four years, and she truly saved my hair. I first went to her after a hair disaster, my hair was fried from bad bleach and box-black dye. I wanted to go back to blonde immediately, but I'm so glad Michelle said no. My hair was breaking and thinning, and she insisted on getting it healthy before doing anything else. Now, my hair is the longest and healthiest it's been in years. I'm so grateful to have a stylist who cared about the integrity of my hair even when I didn't. read more

I got a long layered haircut from Yoselin and she did an amazing job! It was probably the best haircut I've ever had. The prices here are very reasonable considering the quality of service and how nice the salon is. I've been here several times and every stylist I've met has been kind and knows what they're doing. I'll definitely be coming back to Yoselin for my next haircut :) read more

After five years of botched haircuts from other salons, I finally went back to Elizabeth and she has saved my hair. I am sooooooo so happy with my new hair she absolutely is a magician and I am obsessed with my new cut. I will now be trekking out here to make sure she cuts my hair from now on. read more

I love coming here for all my hair needs! The salon is well-maintained and clean. As much as I want to gate-keep her, Diyanara is my go-to girl here! :) She's professional, super sweet, and gives my hair exactly what it needs. I always leave with my hair looking 10x better than what it was! read more

Do not book with Saahil. She absolutely botched my hair and did not take 2 seconds to even listen to me explain the haircut I wanted. I said no length/ as little length as possible-- she immediately goes "yeah yeah"-- tell me why my hair is 5.5 inches shorter?? Never book with her. Dismissive, doesn't listen for more than 2 seconds, and has no idea how curly hair works either. read more

I had the worst salon experience of my life here. After a simple root touch-up, my scalp began burning severely within minutes. I told Nicole immediately, but instead of stopping completely, she applied more products and then blow-dried my irritated scalp with high heat. The burning was so intense I ended up in urgent care and had to take time off work yet I was still charged $145. This was extremely unsafe and showed a lack of experience and proper training. I cannot recommend this salon. read more

I had an appointment with Sasha for a haircut and I'm so happy with how it turned out! She was so detailed and skilled. She checked in with me about what I would like and asked if I had reference pictures and then she even suggested what she thought would look nice which I really appreciated. Probably my favorite haircut I've ever gotten. I will definitely be back to Sasha and it makes me want to try different hairstyles. read more

Long overdue review from last year Monique was the best at cutting my hair I'm scared of getting my hair cut because it comes out too choppy for me every time but she understood that when I told her and she knows how to make the hair blend in if you want some layers. She's comfortable to talk to and will gossip with you and treat you like a friend. She doesn't make me scared to speak up about adding things and will discuss how your hair will look if you want it a certain way. They make me feel welcome here and not judged this was my first time at a professional salon at an affordable price. I haven't been able to go back because sadly I moved but if I could I would only want to go to her for my hair read more

I will not be returning, one price is said on the phone and a different one, once the service is complete. The vibe was not to my liking staff was not friendly . The place is messy , staff food drinks are sitting out. Very awkward and tense environment, I didn't even tip(big deal for me) because my roots were still moist when my hair service Was complete. I expected a bit more from this facility and the $55 hair cut. read more

Sasha did an amazing job personalizing the haircut based on my inspiration pics. I asked for a butterfly cut with wispy long bangs. I love love the end results. Best haircut I've had in my life! She was very sweet, dedicated, and took the time to make sure everything was perfect! She also took the time to teach me how to style my hair at home and gave very helpful hair health tips. Will definitely be booking again! read more

I had the best time at Dollhouse this weekend. I worked with the manager and the Stylest Tye. They absolutely saved me and my hair. I had an important event coming up Monday and had gone to a salon the weekend before to start the process of color correction for blue black hair. After over 9 hours I left that first salon with the biggest multicolor mess. Tye fit me into his schedule asap and stayed well beyond dark to help get me to perfection. I have never had nicer services in my life. If you are looking for a chic, clean, and put together salon this is the right place read more
