Idk why it's taken me so long to write this review, but Christy is the hair whisperer ! I'm…read moreseriously OCD (needs to be even on both sides) when it comes to my hair and Christy just gets me . She recently did my haircut and gave me a cut I didn't even realize I wanted , but now I'm hooked and plan to keep this style . Her cuts are worth every penny ! I plan to eventually have her do my color, but I still don't have any gray hair yet, athough I know she's the best at that too ! I highly recommend her ! You won't regret it and she'll be your forever stylist.

I had my second appointment with Christy, and I'm very happy with my hair transformation!…read more My first appointment was focused on blending my previous brown/blonde color and grown-out dyed roots with my natural gray hair. The result was good, but I felt it was expensive for what I had requested, as blending my multi-colored hair while still making it look beautiful and natural took a lot of work. But I could tell Christy really knows what she's doing and now understood how my hair reacts, so I came back couple months later with a clearer vision. We communicated really well, and she gave me honest input on what would and wouldn't work. I asked her to push my dark, resistant hair as light as possible without damaging it, and she did an amazing job. My hair turned out beautiful, and I'm very happy with the result! My tip: communicate on the design you want clearly and discuss your expectations with Christy beforehand, and she'll be honest about what's achievable with your hair.

I've been going to Jimmy for somewhere between 5-7 years now, it has been so long that I can't even…read moreremember exactly when it started. When I first met him, I was extremely particular and nervous about my hair because I had already gone through so many bad haircut experiences in the Bay. Jimmy never made me feel difficult or rushed. He took the time to explain exactly what he would do, walk me through the shape and length, and answer every question I had. I'm the kind of person who cared about details down to the millimeter. Jimmy always had the patience to work through everything with me despite all the many questions I had each visit. Over the years, Jimmy became much more than just my hairstylist. Every time I sat in his chair, he listened to all my life stories, heard me out, and made me feel genuinely cared for. He took care of my hair, my concerns, and often accommodated me whenever he could. Getting a haircut became something I actually looked forward to every month or so because I always looked forward to seeing him. He has supported me through many different chapters of life and hairstyles. When I decided to grow my hair into a man bun, he shaped and prepared it perfectly for that process, so I haven't been seeing Jimmy for a while. I wanted to leave this review because I'm incredibly grateful for all the years of patience, support, and exceptional work he has given me. What stands out most about Jimmy is that he treats hairstyling as a true profession. He is always learning new techniques, improving his craft, and staying current, while still delivering thoughtful, responsive, and personal service. He understands how to create a cut that complements your face, fits who you are, and gives you confidence for whatever chapter of life you are entering. That is who Jimmy is. He doesn't just give you a haircut, he helps you step into a new chapter feeling like the best version of yourself. I'm so grateful that I met him, and whenever this current hair phase is over, I'll be looking forward to returning to him again.

The first time I went to Thy was actually for a color correction after I had a bad experience at another salon. She did an amazing job fixing my hair, and I've trusted her with it ever since. I usually show her a reference photo, and she always does an incredible job getting my hair as close to the inspiration as possible. I always leave happy with the results and highly recommend her!

I've been with Thy for over a decade. She's been there for me through multiple life events and…read morecountless hair transformations. I still remember what first drew me in - and what probably drew you in to read this review: endless photos of gorgeous, luscious, silky, perfectly dimensional colored hair that looked like it was done by a celebrity stylist. She's only gotten more skilled over the years, and her clientele more loyal. Thy's work always feels classy, polished, and effortlessly luxurious -- never overdone, never trendy in a way that feels temporary. There's an elegance in how she colors hair and styling that makes the final result look timeless. Not only is she an artist, but she listens carefully, takes everything you say into consideration, and also gives honest, expert advice -- including when the answer is, "No, I'm not going to bleach your whole head of hair." You can immediately tell she has a quiet, resolute dedication to delivering her best every single time, no matter how many times you've been in her chair. Thy is exceptional, and if you're lucky enough to book her, I promise you'll walk out of the salon smiling and taking a million selfies.

From the moment you enter the salon, she will greet you with the big smile and will constantly asks if you are doing okay. Additionally, she walks you through the steps so you don't feel lost.

Lastly, the place is very clean and comfortable. P.S. I will be adding pictures in a bit. Thank you!

My second experience here was not great. I came in to dye my hair and was initially happy with the…read moreresults. However, the price was supposed to be $230, but I ended up being charged $300, she said this would have charged more but she had given me a discount. How is that possible if the set price was $230 to start with. Also I didn't want to cut my bangs again; I just wanted them fixed up, and I didn't realize I would have to pay the full price for that. The stylist also offered to cut my hair, which I declined because that was well beyond my budget. Additionally, the fumes from the dyes were unbearable. I felt uncomfortable because, as a customer, I have the right to know the ingredients of the products being used on my hair, but that information was not provided to me at all. I will not be coming back here again. Although I am grateful for the work and effort she put into styling my hair, which was excellent! However the communication regarding pricing and the information about what products were used was not satisfactory.

There was a bit of a language barrier between my stylist and I but we were able to work around it! Because of that, I unfortunately didn't get his name. Clean environment although it seems that none of the photos from their website are actually theirs? If you do not speak Chinese, BRING PHOTOS! You should bring photos anyways but it will greatly increase the chances that you'll end up with a haircut you like. If you want to be extra prepared, use Google Translate to describe what you specific want from the photos. I provided a photo but also let my stylist know that I'd be willing to listen to any modifications he had for me, hence why the cut is longer than the inspo pic. I'm relatively happy with my hair. I wish there was an option for slightly more time (cut took about 50 mins, scheduled for an hour). My hair is a bit bulky/thick so I would've liked the sides and maybe bangs to have been thinned out a bit. I definitely could've asked but didn't know if it would have been done in the allotted time. Overall, I'd probably be willing to come back!

I don't know how this woman received so many top ratings. I went to her for color and highlights…read more I told her multiple times that I DID NOT want to end up with ORANGE hair. This is such a common mistake made by people called "stylists"! I told her I wanted very fine highlights that blended in well. I EVEN brought multiple pictures for her to see. I ended up with orange tinted thick "highlights". Most noticeable was a thick highlight the looked like a band of orange going down both sides of my head! When I told her about this terrible hair color she said she was sorry. but she was too busy to fix it. Then several hours later she called me and told me that I could come back after 8 p.m. (I live 45-60 minutes away) and she would fix it after cooking dinner for her husband! This person does not understand English! She also does not understand how to highlight hair! I showed many pictures of what I wanted and she said she could do it. Good luck if you decide to trust your hair to this person.

Really happy with my haircut at Essence Salon with Yessenia!…read more Booked a haircut appointment with Yessenia through the website for a Tuesday afternoon. I asked for a rounded haircut with lots of layers and face-framing pieces and I showed her my inspo photos as well. She first washed my hair and then got started on the cut. Yessenia did an amazing job! She was friendly and professional and gave me exactly what I requested. I wasn't sure whether to go with lighter or heavier curtain bangs/face-framing pieces, and she knew exactly what would suit me when she suggested sticking with lighter face framing. She also somehow managed to style my frizzy Indian hair perfectly without using much tension on the brush, which was shocking to me. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Yessenia and Essence Salon and will definitely be returning!

From the start, she…read morelistened carefully to every detail I shared and took the time to go through my inspiration photos with me, making sure we were on the same page before she even picked up the scissors. I originally booked this appointment last minute after another stylist canceled on me the day before a trip - and honestly, I'm so grateful that happened, because I would've never found Grace otherwise. Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who really knows what they're doing, actually listens, and creates an amazing overall experience.
