My wife has been a customer for years, and she introduced me to Cheryl a long time ago. Today we visited for our umpteeth time and both had cut and color. She seems to gain in body and fullness in her hair and mine just gets thinner. Still Cheryl our favorite stylist always does a fantastic job of making us feel at home and valued. Great vibe here! read more

I left two voicemails over the span of a week with no call backs. What's the point of asking clients to leave a voicemail if you aren't going to return the call? Sent a message through Yelp and finally got a response asking me to text a hairstylist. Feeling like I'm playing telephone tag with this salon with the amount of time I have wasted trying to get a quote and an appointment. Will update with another review if I ever get an appt set up. read more

I've been going to Elements for quite awhile but all of a sudden she dropped me off. Please see text messages. If she thinks I violated her policy, you can see the time frame on the text messages, I canceled more than 24 hours in advance. There was one time she didn't do a good job in cutting my hair but I overlooked, it was my mistake that I didn't mentioned it to her. The only thing I can say is that- Life is too short and not all people are perfect. read more

Ending 2024 with good vibes. My hair was dead. I originally planned on going blonde again but CINDY recommended not to because my hair needed to heal lol. I trust her opinions and advice completely. She has never done me wrong. So I told her pick a color and cut my hair however short you think. I trust you. And yes girl! Brought me back to life once again CINDY is saving lives lol. Thanks again for our annual end of the year cut & color. This revival is just what I needed to start the new year. read more

I am so pleased with my haircut and meeting Aleen. She is absolutely skilled and experienced with hair styling and care. Aleen is also very wise with different life topics and gave me advice with overall health. Loss of my son early this year took me off track of self care. Aleen inspired and motivated me to get back on track. She is very healthy in mind, body, and spirit. I definitely recommend Aleen! read more

Aleen is awesome!!!! I've been going to her for years. Unfortunately I moved out of state so I went back to her and she did my cut and color perfectly. read more

Cindy did it again! After giving birth to my daughter 6 years ago, hair maintenance was the last priority on my mind and decided to go dark. Few months I decided slowly to revert back and I'm loving it! Cindy continues to amaze me with her technique and her way of giving my self confidence and loving myself again! Hit it up my girl Cindy!!! She is truly amazing! read more

Cindy is a magician!! Excellent at understanding what your needs are and actually DELIVERING! I have thick south Asian hair and many stylists immediately want to cut and thin it out --not Cindy, she basically read my mind as to what I wanted and corrected a previous terrible job while maintaining length. She's great to talk to and very reasonably priced - go to Cindy, you will not be disappointed! read more

She has been doing my hair for 15 years. Aleen will always work with my schedule. In Covid, she can only do 1 person at a time. She still scheduled my touch ups. Her salon was/is still anti Covid rules. Other salons will take 2-3 clients at the same time, not her. She devotes that time you booked with her, your time only. She reminds you about your appointment a day before via text or if needed via calling. Her prices are very reasonable and worth it. She knows the texture of different woman's hairs. She is a blessing. read more

Cindy did an amazing job with my hair color! I've been using box dye for years and decided to finally start getting it professionally colored in time for my wedding in a couple of months. She covered my roots, added partial brown highlights, and trimmed my hair, and I couldn't be happier with the result! I was a bit nervous how the highlights would come out since my hair has been box dyed but Cindy worked her magic and they turned out perfect. It took about 3 hours total. Cindy and I had already texted beforehand about what I was looking for so she was quick to get started when I arrived. I definitely recommend her services! read more

Elements Salon - Partial highlight and chestnut brown toner by Cindy - Hair Salons Near Me - Daly City, California

Cindy did an amazing job on my haircut. As someone who is always nervous about getting a haircut since moving to the city almost 10 years, I am glad I found elements salon on yelp and decided to give it a try this time. Cindy was attentive and skilled. Definitely will be back:) read more

I came here for a haircut last month with Cindy, and I'm glad I did! Cindy was very helpful, offering tips on hair maintenance and everything, while being honest. She was also very friendly; our conversation lasted all throughout the appointment and it felt as if I was having a girl talk with a friend. I've been consistently receiving compliments on my hair ever since my haircut, and it's all thanks to Cindy! :) read more

Aleen is truly the best and cares about her clients! I've always had a bad relationship with salons as I always used to leave feeling unsatisfied or that my hair was butchered, but not here. I discovered Aleen's salon while living in Daly City, and now that I've moved away I still make the 45+ minute drive to come here. Aleen is always very punctual, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. She has given me such valuable tips and product recommendations to help maintain healthy hair. I used to box dye my hair black and could never go back to that lifestyle after coming here. It's amazing how much a quality hair cut + color can elevate your appearance. Highly recommend her for all your hair needs! read more

I usually don't write reviews but I thought to share my experience since it took me a minute to choose a saloon based on people's reviews and pictures! This is the first time I dye my hair and Cindy did a great job! She was straight and honest with me from the beginning because I didn't want to use bleach so she gave me a heads up that my hair might not get as light as in the picture I showed her and even so I got very satisfying results. Cindy was also very friendly and welcoming, I will definitely return to this saloon! read more

Aleen previously performed Japanese straightening treatment and it was as expected! Awesome! Today it was the annual haircut, I requested to cut short just as long as I had could tie my hair back for sports. She worked her magic, off went four inches! My 'do is ready for the new year and looking healthy and natural! read more

Elements Salon - Healthy looking cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Daly City, California

Aleen did it again! I came back in for a haircut and this time I decided to go another route and get face framing bangs, and a long bob! Aleen was amazing yet again, she never fails to get my hair looking so beautiful! She was very thorough and gave me advice on taking care of my hair to not damage it. She's very honest and really cares about her clients which is what keeps me coming back. She was realistic with me and told me that this particular cut is pretty high maintenance but she gave me the advice I needed to keep it looking nice. The price is also very reasonable for the amount of work she puts in! (The picture is the next day hair after a very windy walk, so it is a bit messy but I didn't take any puctures after the cut ) read more

Aleen continues to amaze me. I am Asian with thick, frizzy and semi-wavy hair: As in helmet/George Washington level. My hair is so frizzy that people think it's damaged when it's not. So sad. Even after Aleen thins out my hair during my regular haircuts, I still need to blow dry and flat iron it every day and avoid moisture like the wicked witch. It takes me 45 minutes just to look presentable. I've always pined for a Japanese straight perm but avoided it due to the sheer cost in SF. One day, I just asked Aleen and I was surprised at how reasonable her shop is. I bit the bullet and scheduled my appointment. Each night before my perm, I would fantasize about running through a field with the wind blowing through my shiny, silky and straight tresses and me jumping up and doing splits midair..my appointment day couldn't come soon enough. I took a day off of work for my appointment and endured the 5-hour process. Luckily, I brought my laptop so the time just flew by. Aleen worked hard on my hair, explained each step to me and I watched as she meticulously addressed what seemed like each strand of my hair. At the end of the process, my hair was flatter than I have ever seen. I could not stop staring in the mirror and petting my hair!! But will it stay flat or revert back to George Washington after I shampoo it? Aleen told me not to wash or get my hair wet for the first 24 hours. OK, I was actually really paranoid and didn't wash my hair for 4 days (pretty gross). Today I washed my hair and holy shikes...it is FLAT, silky and shiny!!! I'm just kicking myself for waiting this long to get the Japanese straight perm! Thank you Aleen! P.S. I uploaded BEFORE and AFTER photos so you all can admire my helmet hair. read more

The whole experience with Aleen was awesome! If you're on the fence about coming, this is your sign to book your appointment! I booked this appointment a few weeks ago from Denver and Aleen was so responsive. She asked me to text her pictures of my hair and reference pictures for what I wanted prior so she could determine if my hair was even a right fit for a digital perm. There wasn't any parking in the lot and she paid for the meter in front of the salon for me! All the COVID protocols were followed and I felt very safe in there. The whole process took about 4 hours including a hair trim. I've never gotten a perm before and she walked me through the whole process and answered all my questions. Aleen got new rollers from Korea for a looser curl and it was exactly what I was looking for. Glad I could be the first to try them out! She mentioned the curl will loosen after it sets so the picture might be a bit deceiving since it's fresh! read more

Cindy was able to accommodate me within a week of contacting her and she did an amazing job on my haircut! She gave me perfectly blended even layers with a lot of movement while still keeping my hair thick. My biggest pet peeve is when the layers are too thinned out. Will definitely be back :) read more

So fun to get a haircut by Cindy. She has a wonderful personality and will definitely make you laugh. Her hair cutting techniques are on point! My hair has never looked or felt healthier. I was way overdo for a haircut and most of the bleach from a previous hairdresser is finally cut out of my hair. Thank you so much :) read more

Cindy was so amazing! This was my first haircut after the pandemic started, so it had been well over a year since my last trim. I wanted to keep my hair long, but it was definitely more important to get it healthy again. Cindy showed me how much she would cut off beforehand, and it turned out exactly as I'd hoped! I love my long layers!! The salon's safety protocols are great -- they ask you to let them know when you arrive so that they can sanitize everything before you even enter. They also take your temperature, and of course everyone keeps their masks on at all times. Parking was a little difficult, but only because Washington St was blocked off for street repairs! Cindy mentioned that there's normally street parking right in front of the salon. Overall a great experience - would highly recommend!! read more

This review is for Cindy, I got my haircut a week ago and I'm still happy with it! I moved to South SF a year ago and haven't had a haircut since then, lol. Found her through Aleen on Yelp and I am soooo happy I now have a local go to person for hair! If you're looking for someone that can handle thick Asian girl hair Cindy is it! She's easy to chat with and scheduling appointments through text with her is very convenient, she even sends you a reminder the day before the appointment. I just wanted to cut off some really dry bleached hair ends because it was getting to be too much to take care of. Cindy is very good about checking in with what you want before she starts cutting. We agreed to cut off 6+ inches of hair and add some long layers. My hair feels much lighter and she skillfully blended the long layers so it now looks like I have an ombre. I can't wait til I've grown out my hair some more and go back to her for more than just a haircut! read more

Aleen was super nice and friendly! Upon arriving to the salon, my temperature was taken, I was provided a bag to store my jacket and purse, and sanitized my hands. I felt very comfortable about their COVID-19 protocol. I will definitely visit her again for my next hair appointment. read more

Cindy is amazing! She is nice and skillful! My hairdresser is not available after the pandemic so I got a recommendation from a friend who has been going there for 10 years. I found my new hairdresser ! read more

This was my second time going to this place and both times it was Wonderful! Aleen is very sweet and extremely talented. She educates you and does a great job with cut and style. The first time I only got a 3 inch trim. Today I got bangs! I was so nervous but Aleen assured me with her skills. I absolutely love my new haircut and can say 100% she is the best hairstylist I have ever been to! Thank you Aleen! read more

Finally, a stylist I trust. Aleen is great, she is very thorough, meticulous, helpful, knowledgeable & friendly. She offers great creative input and is honest about what will work for you and what will not. I definitely will be coming back. I highly recommend her. read more

I'm so glad I found Aleen on Yelp. I used to work in the Financial district and would easily go to Joseph Cozza or Cowboys and Angels for my hair cuts/color during my lunch hour. Since I started working in Daly City I don't have the time to schlepp all the way to Downtown so I decided to try Aleen at Elements. She was great! I just wanted a trim and a fuller cut overall and she absolutely delivered. She takes her time with you and her prices are reasonable. I will definitely return soon for a color with Aleen. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing Salon! Aleen is one of the best hair stylists I have ever been to. And the prices are just right. She can do anything that you want! Though, because she is so great, you really have to schedule a month in advance for your next service. read more

I love Aileen! She was super honest about what kind of haircut would look good on me. I had really really long hair and I wanted to go short and she knew I was kind of apprehensive about it and she made sure it was everything I wanted. The only down side is you have to book in advance. The salon itself was spacious and clean! CINDY IS THE BEST YOU GUYS!!!!! read more

Felt instantly at ease. Cindy definitely knows her stuff! She was friendly and personable as well as talented. She was kind enough to give me her professional opinions on what I should do with my hair. I gave her free reign. She gave me a trim and a deep condition. Turned my straw hair to silk. I got a layered Bob cut which is adorable and healthy looking! It was my first time there and I'll be calling her again when it's time. Shecwas kind enough to give me some at home maintenance tips which is so appreciated!!! THANKS CINDY! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SALON!! read more

First time booking with Aleen & this salon. I had originally texted her for a hair consultation and she replied in a timely manner. I scheduled an appointment for Japanese Hair Straightening a month ago. The whole process took about 5 hours. Aleen was very informative about the whole process and explained every step. I also learned alot about how to keep my hair healthy. She also gave very honest advice on my hair and gave it a trim to fix the shape cuz the last stylist that did my hair messed it up. Throughout the process she also offered wifi, drinks, & bathroom breaks. Overall, I had a great experience at the salon. The japanese straightening made my hair silky and healthy again. Thanks Aleen! I'll definitely book again! :) To everyone: I highly recommend Aleen! great stylist! read more

This is actually a review from a couple months ago, but my hair is all black and I wanted something new done to my hair (basically I wanted to go blonde) I decided to text Aleen and I showed her the new hair color I wanted and she apologized saying she couldn't help me. So, I tried texting her back asking if she could do a different hair color on me (this time just light brown) and she just completely ignored my text and never responded to me. I understand it's hard to go from black to blonde in just one session, but she didn't have to completely turn me down and just not respond to me anymore when I tried asking to get my hair done as a different hair color. It's completely unprofessional and if she really wanted to help her clients she could have made it so I come in for 2 or more sessions. read more

This review is for the amazing Cindy. After researching several salons and going through countless customer photos of salons' balayages, Cindy seemed like the perfect stylist to go to for my first time coloring my hair. I texted with Cindy sending her photos of what I wanted (Asian hair and wanted a more subtle balayage with dark brown and no blond) and we set up my appointment. Because I wanted my color to remain pretty dark, she recommended not doing bleach but instead using a very light brown dye on my hair to achieve the dark brown I wanted. I trusted her completely. Watching her work exhausted me, she is SO detailed! She absolutely listened when I said I still wanted a good portion of my black hair to show through as well. Cindy was also so sweet, hilarious, kind, and easy to talk to during my almost three hours with her. I came out with EXACTLY what I wanted, hair that does not look or feel damaged (I was terrified of having fried hair after my first color job), and the subtle balayage I've been wanting for years. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Cindy! read more

I've been coming to Cindy for my haircut and color needs for a few years and I can't recommend her enough. Started experimenting with color for the first time and every time I have some vague idea of what I want, she nails it every time. I almost don't want to share this review with other people cause then it'll be harder for me to get an appointment! Cindy is a gem. read more

I met Aleen in 2011 for a digital perm. I have went through many changes. I now have an A-Line cut but had her style my hair when it was long, med and short. Went from black to brown to blond to now red. Ive had blunt bangs, side swiped bangs, thin bangs, no bangs. No matter what change i made, she has always and continues to amaze me. Plus when my hair grows out, it always looks good. Thanks Aleen! read more

Elements Salon - Thanks Aleen!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Daly City, California

Aleen is awesome! She knows her stuff. She save my hair from being completely damaged. It took me a year to restore my roots from bleach damages... It is extremely important for a salon to know what they are doing. I desperately want to get my digital waves for months but didn't know the stipulation prior to getting my perm. I've called other salons prior to Elements Salon and they didn't even warn me or even ask about the condition of my hair. SMH. I was glad I had the opportunity to consult with Aleen because any other salon probbly would have severely damage my hair. Overall, I cannot wait till I get my digital waves. I have a good feeling about Aleen. I don't think I'll be going to another salon for a long time. She just maybe it for my hair. Updates to follow. After my waves are in, my rating will be adjusted accordingly. :) read more
