I have a pretty busy schedule and decided to call in one day for a no appointment hair cut. Tina picked up the phone and told me that she could cut my hair right away. Tina was really nice and patience. She paid attention to what I wanted and did not disappoint me. My Aline bob haircut turned out exactly how I wanted and it costed less than the competitive salons in the area. I think I just found my new favorite hair salon! Will definitely come back here again. read more

Tina is amazing! I came in with long hair and left with the best hair cut ever! My blunt a-line looks amazing both straight or waved. She's a perfectionist and actually listens to what you want. She also gives the best shampoo/scalp massage. she also cuts and colors my sisters hair too. We both love our short hair so much. Thank you Tina! read more

Dream Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - San Ramon, California

I've been trying to find a local salon for a "good" haircut that wasn't astronomically expensive. After looking online, I chose Dream Salon based on their great reviews and conveniently located to where I live. Best decision I could have made!! I lucked out and walked in just as a customer was leaving, so I was fortunate to get Tina to cut my hair. She took her time to discuss with me exactly what I wanted.....style, length etc. She was absolutely meticulous with the cut (which turned out amazing), only surpased by the blowout!! I felt so good about my hair leaving there that I actually decided to go out on a whim last night on and show it off! I will definitely be going back as a regular. read more

Dream Salon, it is the best salon around here. Ann has the scissor skill from heaven. She made my hair and my wife hair style super sharp and amazing well liked by all our friends since we party a lot. Yet it is not just a common hair salon. It is a salon that got personality of fun and strong bonding with love and care. She offers us free drink, coffee and slacks all the time. And Tina yet another wonderful girl who gave me the best hair wash and scalp massage. We had fun and we had joy, we had a blast when talking freely with jokes. That's what dream Salon all about. We go there every month just to see them. They deserved million stars in this world and my world. read more

I have been going to Anh for haircuts and coloring for the past 12 years. She has Always done a Fantastic job and even makes every effort to fit me in when I need an appointment at the last minute. She opened Dream Salon many years ago and I feel so comfortable going there, as if it was my own home. It's kind of like how the characters in the TV series "Cheers" loved hanging out together and where "everyone knew their name". I would Highly Recommend this hair salon if you desire high-quality results, excellence in consultation, highly professional execution and a comfortable environment!!! read more

Dream Salon - No longer wearing my Shelter-in-Place stripe of courage! Love my vibrant hair color Again!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Ramon, California

I have been to dream salon in the past and love all the stylists there. They are professional and do a great job. Today I visited them with three other friends and we all got highlights. Ann, Emily, Danielle and lee did a great job in making sure we walk out happy. read more

Based on the amazing reviews on yelp, I got my haircut today by Ann (owner) and was so glad I did! Not only is she talented, but smart, sweet, funny, generous and professional! She also has a sense of humor that made me laugh the entire time I was getting my hair done. Ann listened to my concerns regarding my hair, gave smart tips, and made my cut sooo effortless which is rare since I have THICK and course hair. I went from having long, straight, and boring hair (without bangs) to having a bob cut with blunt bangs. Deciding on such a big transformation wasn't easy but Ann knew exactly what she was doing which definitely helped calm the nerves and reassured me that I was in good hands! The salon is a clean, comfortable and unpretentious environment. If you live in the San Ramon area and are looking for a new stylist, definitely try Dream!! I love the salon and the haircut enough to upload a photo to show off my new super slick bangs. Love love love my new bob cut with blunt bangs. Brought me back to the Louise Brooks days :) Thanks Ann! read more

Dream Salon - Thank you Anh! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Ramon, California

Made an appt with Anh today for a cut and highlight. They took your temperature and made sure everyone had a mask on. Overall great experience. read more

I normally don't put reviews on yelp, but I was really happy with my balayage with Anh. The salon checks your temp and offers hand sanitizer, and there is social distancing among clients. I felt like all the safety precautions were taken. I have only dyed my hair professionally once before, so I was looking for someone who knew how to color Asian hair professionally. Anh really takes her time to get to know you as a client and teaches you products and techniques you can use at home to style your hair correctly. Just FYI, I didn't know tip was cash only, so next time I will remember to bring cash for my next appointment. read more

I'm so happy with my visit at this Hair Salon, I came in for a Color Correction and Anchalee was able to restore my hair back to the color I originally wanted. Anchalee was patient, sweet , personable & professional and met my needs. I highly recommend her! She is very talented and is an amazing hairstylist. The atmosphere is relaxed, casual & friendly. Great experience! read more

Amber was so great! She really cares about all of her clients and makes the salon experience very enjoyable. I went in for an ombre, trim, and deep conditioning. The ombre came out EXACTLY like the picture I brought in, and the color was vibrant and striking. I have already had a handful of compliments at work. I highly recommend Amber @ Dream Salon! read more

Dream Salon - Lauren Conrad Ombre done by Amber. I love it! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Ramon, California

Danielle is the BEST! She's been doing my hair for 5 years and all three of my girls see her. I don't trust many people to tame my thick hair but she does it with skill and precision every time! My oldest has a short bob and it always looks the best after Danielle cuts and styles it. Hands down the best at Dream Salon! read more

I had an awful experience today at Dream Salon. I have been this salon once. The experience with Ann and Lee was great. This time, I wanted to bring in my mom. We were 20 minutes late to our appointment because last minute things happened. We checked in, apologized, and waited. A lady came to me and almost shouted at me. Her voice was high enough that everyone in the room could hear her clearly. Here is what she said:"You are 20 minutes late. We lost customers because of you. Next time, you need to come on time". It's definitely the biggest boss I have ever seen! I think it's rude and unprofessional. It's the type of attitude I do not expect from services. It's not my job to teach her how to better serve her customers. There are hundreds of Salons out there. We walked out, and will never come back again. read more

After 6 months of no hair treatment (thanks COVID) I was finally able to get in and saw Danielle. She was amazing! So kind, warm, asked how I part my hair, style it, and was very knowledgeable about highlights. This was my first time to this salon since many are slowly opening up, and I wasn't sure what to expect- taking a leap of faith to try someone new. Danielle did a phenomenal job on my blonde highlights and trim. I was most pleasantly surprised that I did not go under a heat lamp to have my highlights set it- was able to use the products at room temperature which I loved! They took my temperature and gave me hand sanitizer when I arrived. I wore a face mask for my entire appointment and so did everyone else in the salon. I wasn't able to get waxing due to the restrictions, which was a bummer but not their fault. I highly recommend them, and if you want highlights, Danielle is the best!! read more

Made an appointment with Danielle at 1:15 for my daughter. Arrived at 1:10 and my daughter was asked to sit in a chair right as we walked in. I asked Danielle to cut about five inches off and for some layers throughout my daughter's long hair. Told Danielle that we wanted a layered cut because her hair gets tangled easily. Danielle was meticulous but quick. She thinned out the hair at the base and cut it shorter to prevent the tangles. My daughter said she feels a lot lighter. With a shampoo, cut, and blow dry style we were out of the salon in less than 30 minutes! Also, Ann was walking around offering clients champagne (it was 12/23) and she was very sweet and genuine when taking care of her clients. Will be coming back! read more

I was recommended by a friend to come to the Dream Salon. The experienced was awesome. Tina and Ann were both super sweet. The saIon is cleaned. I love the hair cut by Ann. Definitely will come here to Dream Salon again. Also, thank you for the green mangoes Ann. read more

Dream Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - San Ramon, California

I am on a hunt for a local hair salon so I stumbled upon this salon on Yelp after reading a lot of reviews. I called in an hour before my appt for a haircut and I must say Tina did a very good job on giving me layers where it looks nice down and in a pony tail just how I wanted. So I decided I wanted a change in my hair and I requested to see her for a balayage with some lavender on the ends. When she did the color, you could only see a hint of the of the purple which clearly did not match the picture I had shown her prior to my visit. So she told me to come back and she will make it more purple. Amber helped her get my hair into a nice purple. I really like how the ladies here work as a team and not talk ish about each other. Every other salon I've been too has had bad work ethics. I may possibly come back for a hair cut but not for color. read more

Dream Salon - Hair by Tina in 2 sessions - Hair Salons Near Me - San Ramon, California

My daughter loves getting her hair cut here. Kristi does a great job cutting my 8 year old's long thick locks.

I love this place. They are very reasonable and also very friendly. I've been serviced by Lee, Tina and Danielle and they all are equally good. Make an appointment they are usually very busy but still don't rush your service and do a great job for the price. I hope they never move. read more

Came in with my sister just to have her ridiculously long hair trimmed of dead ends. Regular cuts (nothing too fancy) are $25 and for what we asked for, it came out pretty decent. Ended up cutting off about 5 inches of hair in long layers and it looks pretty nice! Employees were incredibly friendly the entire time; asking you questions, complimenting you, etc. Decent pricing, super friendly people, I'd definitely come back if I lived in the area! read more

I waited more than a month before posting this. Yet here I am, one month later, and still unhappy and upset with my experience at Dream Salon. There were so many things that went wrong and handled poorly that I'm not sure where to start. I am not stating any names to protect their privacy... Plus some of the people were really sweet... But on the other hand, the "resolution" was not what I'd hope for and some of the "attempts of resolution" by other staff members were downright not professional. PRE-APPOINTMENT Scheduled for BLACK to LAVENDER to WHITE Dip Dye & Cut (person I spoke to was different from the person who will work on my hair) FIRST APPOINTMENT, Saturday April 4 - After First Dye: Hair was Blonde (lightest it could get from brown, which is alright...) BUT she dyed my hair with BLUE dye instead but it looked GREEN, but I asked for LAVENDER. Looks like there was a miscommunication in the colors. - Still, even if she meant to dye my hair blue, why is it Green? She blamed the dye for being "faulty" and turning green. (When Really after consulting with other professionals, I suspect the dye used had green undertones, and/or that because the base wasn't white/silver, it turned green IE Is it really the dye, or the dye job? Hmm..) - A coworker blamed me for the miscommunication. (Such great customer service from this one) Okay, hair is Green. Now what? Remove the green? Put Lavender, Like I came in for? - SEVEN-EIGHT HOURS LATER: I come out with Blonde, Green/Blue, and Purple Hair. (She could not get the blue/green out) - The color doesn't even fade like in the picture I provided. - I am crying because now I look like a unicorn. - Coworker No. 2 is still arguing with me on who's fault it is. - I come home and discover my cardigan also has bleach on it. We are now miscolored together. SECOND APPOINTMENT (to fix mishap), Monday, April 6 - Original hairstylist and hairstylist #2 try to fix my hair - They dyed the top BLACK when we had agreed (twice, in the first appointment, and in this second one, that she will NOT ADD black dye to my hair, and that she will only remove the blue/green for this second appointment) - Result? There is black dye on my hair. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET BLACK DYE OFF! Ahh! - Hair now becomes blue/gray (from toning).....Still not what I asked. - I am now livid, because I trusted this place both times, and it only hurt me in the end. - Employees REFUSE to give me manager's number (who is out of town ) *A few days later (April 9?), am finally able to reach Manager She has been out of town since April 4/5. At first she seems helpful. But.... THIRD "APPOINTMENT" (to discuss with manager) - Due to another "miscommunication" the manager does not show. I show up to a salon that closed early. I thought your hours says open til 7pm Fridays? *Call manager again, this time she is UNWILLING to help. She claims that they made my hair how I wanted it. I think to myself, Impossible. I have not seen her since she left before the end of my appointment Saturday. I ask her, "What color is my hair?" She answers the wrong color. Got ya. FOURTH "APPOINTMENT" (to discuss with manager) - Manager finally sees the disaster that is my hair and how unhappy I am. She gives me a refund but not the full amount I paid. NEVER PAY UPFRONT if they promise to "fix" a hair next time. I naively paid after my 1st appointment + tip trusting it will be fixed (my hair stylist was a sweetie at heart, even though the result wasn't the best). Two months later :( My hair is now like the mermaid in Harry Potter from the damage and off colors (Google is your friend) TLDR (Can be found in pics); asked for Black to lavender to white dip dye. Got Green/blue/purp/blonde instead. Asked for them to fix it, they turned it gray/blue. Thought I would come and find a new salon to go to, but unfortunately for both parties it did not work out that way. Since then, I've also gone to two outside professionals for consultation after what happened to my hair, and they said the damage to my hair was so much that if they did anything my hair would potentially fall off or be "like straw." I had waited 8 months for this! read more

Dream Salon - HAIR DYE GONE WRONG! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Ramon, California

Went to get a haircut because the review of this place were wonderful and everyone was happy with the results. My hairdresser is moving out of town for good and had to find a new one. The place is nice and the owner is very social ( a plus ). I had an appointment at 11:30. Showed up he is a middle of cutting another lady. Got to wait for a while When my turn comes, I normally have a simple haircut (above the ear, layer in the back, and 1 inch off the top). Le assumes he knows how to cut Asian hair for being Asian himself. Wrong. He did not even ask if I use clipper or scissors. He started using clipper and trim my sides short. On top of that the cut was not even and messy. He even knows that he did not do a good job. Other than that he gave me discount knowingly that I was not a satisfied customer. The cut was not clean and comparable to SuperCut. My old hairdresser did much better job than Le. I would not pay more than $10 for his man's hair cut and that if I ever come back. read more

I found on Yelp ;-), called, got a same day appointment with Kristi, and am so grateful to have found her. She was fun, skilled and I walked out with a great cut and style. I will be back! read more

I'm so bummed-I really wanted to like Dream Salon but I won't return. I had a great 1st experience a few months ago for a cut and partial highlights so I was looking forward to a great repeat visit. I hope that I just came in during an off day. While I was waiting to check in, another customer was having a consultation which the stylists seemed to disagree upon with the owner. After they exchanged several eye rolls and murmured snot nosed remarks about each other, I was told that they were running behind schedule and my appt would start 15 min late. Not a big deal-I'm a small business owner so I'm totally understanding that things can get behind schedule. When I finally sat in the chair, 4 other customers rolled in saying that they had booked an appt with my same stylist within the same hour. Call me crazy but that just seems like poor time management. I understand that you can't turn business away but how can you possibly maintain the quality of your work while providing decent customer service??? It was a hot mess. One customer claimed she had an appt at 3 and the owner proceeded to tell her it was at 3:30. Regardless of who wrote it down wrong, instead of apologizing for the mix up and moving on, they played 5 min of he said she said and the owner proceeded to bash this customer in front of the salon. I've been to several high end salons so when a friend recommended Dream, I was excited to learn of their great quality at a low cost. When I have been to other places in the past, a color and cut took no more than 60-75 minutes. Last time I was in, my appt took 60 min so that's what I was expecting since I was doing the same exact color and cut. 2 hours later, I rolled out the door... Even though my appt was before anyone else that rolled in after me, I was the last one there. The worst part was that I sat at the sink for 45 min! As I mentioned before, I really hope this isn't how it always is and I just came on a bad day. Don't get me wrong-I liked how my hair turned out but for me, professionalism and customer service trumps cost. I'm more than happy to pay extra to be treated with professionalism and good customer service. If you're looking for a place that's friendly on your wallet but not to your face then Dream is for you. read more

First time there yesterday ! Found my new go to salon. Everyone was so happy and friendly!! Katrina cut my exactly like I asked her to!!! Thanks!!!! read more

I've had the same hairdresser since I moved to the Bay Area and love her but sadly with a new baby I've found it hard to book evening and weekend appointments anymore. So I did the unthinkable....I decided to find another hairdresser close to my work office (an hour from home) and just get a trim. Figured no one can screw up a one-inch trim so I found the cheapest highest rated salon through Yelp, and went to the Dream Salon. Well I was so impressed with Le's cutting skills that I have now made it my regular salon! He is quick without being sloppy, friendly without being annoying, and offered his suggestions without being pushy. And for $30 and 45 minutes in a chair I have time to get my hair did AND pick up some grub on my lunch break! While it's not the full service spa treatment that I get from my old salon, it's clean and comfortable and cheap so I can't complain. :-) read more

This is a really great business. They are friendly, polite, appreciative of your business and they do great work. The last time I was there, I remember 3 senior citizen age customers, several people in their forties and a few young customers. In other words, no matter what your age, this is the place for you. In a time where others charge an extra $3-5 just for a shampoo, these guys include it in the regular price. And the place looks awesome, very high end. Keep up the great work, Dream Salon. read more

i love this place so much !!! danielle was the best and she was able to get my hair the way i wanted it !! read more

They were very friendly! I went in for a cut and color ( 135$ ) the cut looks fine 2 inches were taken off and I was sad to see it go but my hair was so unhealthy from not being cut in a year but for the color I asked to have an even tone across my hair because how it was before was almost a blended ombre I had reddish brown at my ends and brown in the middle and my natural roots growing through. My hair was a mess and I just wanted to go a couple shades lighter than my natural level 3 dark brown hair. I didn't notice till I got home but the red in my end still there not even reduced a little and my roots a completely different color! My cut is great though the line is even and my layers look great! I would so go back for just a cut though. read more

This is definitely a great salon! It's so good that I drive all the way from San Francisco to San Ramon just to have my hair straightened with Ann. My hair takes a while to be done and she always offers me water and a snack just in case it passes the lunch time. Zula, Lee and Amanda are also very nice and very professional. When I am there I feel like I am the most important client and that makes all the difference! Ann is my hairstylist for almost two years now and I highly recommend her salon! Way to go Dream Salon!!

Great little salon over near the gas station. Went in there after reading all the reviews about this place! Got full highlights for $70 and I have to say the people were very sweet. The two main owners are so kind and helpful! The woman who did my hair made my highlights very natural and pretty! She is very good at what she does and has "regulars" that come all the time! I am going to start going to her! She's sweet and I love how caring she is. God bless and good luck! Samantha read more

I recently went to Dream Salon for a Brazilian Blowout service done by Ann. She did a great job and I will definitely return. Plus, the fact that they use products that don't cause cancer is a plus!! Thanks Ann!! read more

I went yesterday to get my hair done on a spur the moment whim. I called at about 3:00 and made a reservation for 5:15 with Lee. I was a little apprehensive because I don't let just anybody cut my hair! I love the cut, but I showed him a picture of what I wanted (bangs straight across) and he kept asking me if I wanted side bangs. I kept saying no, but that being said he still gave me side bangs - granted, I Love them! He did a great job, and now that I think about it, I would have hated straight bangs, too much work!! I will definitely go again! read more
