I…read morenormally get my haircut there at least a couple times a year but recently more often since I now have shorter hair. I normally don't preschedule so I see multiple different hair stylists which may or may not be a good thing. I recently prescheduled an appointment and was running late so I gave a call to the salon. The woman on the phone was short and slightly obnoxious in that she was almost happy to tell me I would need to reschedule and still pay 100% for my cancellation. I did not cancel anything and it was a forced cancellation. I even asked if there was a late fee I could pay or reschedule it and only pay 50% for rescheduling fee since I've been a customer for so long but once again, she sounded happy to tell me no. I understand that being late is 100% my fault but I've also had to wait for my stylist for 10-15 mins when arriving on time so they are also not 100% punctual. This left a bitter taste in my mouth and I will unfortunately not be going back anymore.

Not only is she a wonderful stylist, she is an amazing person - empathetic, good listener, funny, down to earth. I first came ~4months ago for a haircut repair from a bad cut. It was wonky, and I'd been given a random short layer on only one side. She listened to what I wanted, seeing beyond the bad cut and cleaned it up beautifully...keeping her eye on what it could be once things grew out. I returned today with my daughter - she got her first real cut in a salon. Nicole could not have been more patient!! And she gave our girl just what she wanted. Happy mom, happy daughter!!

She listens, offers thoughtful suggestions, and somehow always delivers results that feel fresh, flattering, and totally personalized.

She has been doing hair for over 30 years, and it absolutely shows in her skill, professionalism, and the way she genuinely cares about her clients. She takes the time to listen, offers honest advice, and always wants you to leave feeling beautiful and confident. That kind of consistency, dedication, and personal care is hard to find these days. So many of her clients have stayed with her for years for a reason. One thing I really admire is the reputation she has built over decades through hard work, loyalty, and the relationships she's created with her clients. In a world where one harsh review can sometimes speak louder than years of happy customers, it's important to remember that long-standing excellence and trust matter. If you're looking for someone with true experience, a kind heart, and a genuine passion for what she does, Mary is absolutely someone I would recommend.

Definitely DO NOT recommend this place. I was looking for something local and this is down the street from my work so I decided to give them a try. Big mistake, I understand different salons can vary on the time and quality, but 2 hours it's just ridiculous, the shape is terrible. I don't know how they got good reviews.

I am absolutely furious with the appalling customer service and subpar results I received at this salon, particularly from Margarita and Jannethe. My experience was a disaster, and I would strongly advise anyone to stay far away from this place. I scheduled an appointment months in advance with Margarita for highlights, color, and a haircut, clearly communicating that I wanted light, thin highlights and a light brown color. Instead of properly coloring my hair, she only touched up the roots and highlighted the rest of my hair. This left my hair looking uneven, with orange tones and splotchy highlights. The highlights themselves were a mix of thick and thin sections, and there were large, noticeable gaps where highlights were completely missing. The result was patchy and uneven, with multiple shades of orange that I never requested. When I politely asked Margarita to fix the issues with my highlights, she became defensive and dismissive of my concerns. She even asked other stylists whether my hair looked fine, but it was clear from their reactions that they recognized the mistake she had made. Despite this, they spoke to her in Spanish. Jannethe then stepped in with a dismissive attitude, insisting that nothing was wrong with my hair and defending Margarita's (her mom) work in front of the entire salon. This was incredibly unprofessional, as it was obvious to everyone that the work was subpar. It seemed they were more interested in protecting each other than acknowledging their mistakes. After some back-and-forth, Margarita agreed to add one more highlight to one area, but she instructed another stylist to wash only that section without styling it essentially rushing me out of the salon without fully addressing the issues. This level of disregard for a paying customer is unacceptable. My hair still looks terrible, and it's clear to everyone I encounter, especially during holiday gatherings, that my highlights were poorly done. At this time of year, I didn't want to deal with such a disappointing result. To make matters worse, Margarita promised I wouldn't be charged for the highlights due to the mistakes, but when I checked my previous payment at home, I discovered I was still charged for the highlights. The total bill was also double what I had paid for the same services back in August. This is outright dishonest and reflects a complete lack of integrity. The entire experience left me deeply upset. I walked out of the salon in tears, feeling completely taken advantage of. These individuals clearly lack both professionalism and basic customer service skills. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this salon to anyone, and I will never return. It is unacceptable to make such mistakes and refuse to own up to them, especially when a customer is paying a premium for a service. read more

Five Star hair Salon As a Martinez resident I love getting my hair done at Elegant hair ! I support local businesses and it's a plus that they were voted Best hair salon in Martinez !! I recommend Jeanette for hair color; I have been going to her for over 15 years. Margarita the owner is very friendly and always greets me as I walk in. Jeanette has highlighted and bleached my hair through all these years and I still have hair! WOW! I have healthy blonde hair , She gives her professional opinion and takes her time to truly understand just what I want every time even though I end up with the same style every time which I love Prices are reasonable, and they always have the newest and best hair products against the wall ...don't forget to pick some up! I replenish my shampoo and conditioner when I go for a touch up! I am a satisfied customer and happy to share my experience. I recommend Jeanette and Elegant hair to all my family and d friends! read more

I agree with everyone about this little jewel...and want to add Lainie (another stylist) into the mix. Margarita is never available,and I booked with Lainie- seeing her great work for a few years. I am so thrilled. She knew exactly what I needed and my hair cut and highlights are the best ever - and I have been to many very exclusive salons in my life... I have total trust in all of the stylists here - by the way - I saw the girl in the review who had the keratin treatment - wow! I did not even recognize her - fantastic job and much less expensive than other salons... Book with confidence - you will love the results! - They are remodeling and adding a room for an aesthetician - and I bet she will be another expert - thanks, Priscilla Burdt read more
