Googled Turkish hairstylists because they tend to be the best and know how to handle my hair :) My last haircut was by my stylist back in NYC back in December (I was mad overdue when my grays were peaking out and the ends of my hair really just needed to be chopped)...so after much searching, I came across Erhan. He did an amazing job with coloring my roots- getting it the right color. Most folks will dye it black which is annoying since my hair isn't black but brown. He layered my hair giving it the much needed volume and I felt he shed so much weight off making me feel light as well. I found my go to person finally in the Bay Area :) P.S. he is located in the back of BlueMercury and make sure to have cash! read more

I was in town for a wedding and it had been pretty much pre-pandemic since I had splurged on my hair. I wasn't sure what to expect when I said highlights - previously I had done bayleage and not streaks - nor what my asymmetrical bob request would look like (I was trying to go for a hairstyle I haven't worn since about ten years ago) but this guy got it *just right* even with my vague directions ...and the color was just marvelous! So shiny and effervescent but natural. read more

Erhans Hair Studio - Thanks for my beautiful cut. - Hair Salons Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Erhan didn't listen to my requests or concerns at any point. He silenced me before the cut saying he knew what he was doing. I asked for longer layers and angles in the front. I wanted to keep length. He completely butchered my hair. Do NOT go here. He might be a sweet person, but it was a terrible result. Don't get enticed by his willingness to fit you in. It was also expensive but basically 30 min from wash to end and cost around $90. Now I have two different hair lengths... SAVE YOURSELF. read more

I had a hair cut here with Erhan. It was a terrible experience, he doesn't listen to what you need nor does he has the skill flexibility. He only knows one hair cut style which you can see from the pictures, which is "Layering" hair. I don't recommend this place, not worth the money. read more

Erhan always gets my hair right. Ive been to many fancy salons and it's been difficult to find someone who understands how to deal with shapely, wavy hair. Getting a haircut has been so much easier since I found Erhan. Highly recommended. read more

I really loved his haircut style and highlights. He did a great job for a very reasonable price. I left there very pleased. I definitely will go Erhan's studio again. It's highly recommended and I agree he is the best in San Francisco area. read more

Erhan is an excellent hair stylist and I would recommend him to anyone! He does excellent cuts for both men and women, and makes you feel very confident even with a big change in your hair. His space is very clean and he only uses high quality products. I also appreciate how Erhan doesn't ever try to sell things that I don't need, the way many other stylists do. Always an excellent experience! read more

As a male with curly hair. I can say that I have been nothing but satisfied by Erhan's work. I am very picky when it comes to finding the right person to cut my hair. I recommend him highly. read more

Best haircut ever! Erhaan is so good at his craft. I've never been happier with my haircut. Highly recommend!

Erhan is incredibly talented! He is so good at everything hair related and his recommendations are perfection. I would not go anywhere else to get my haircut or hair colored. I always leave so impressed. Can't recommend him enough! read more

Situated in the back corner of a spa products store. Erhan has warm personality to make your feel good.

Erhan is an unparalleled hair stylist! You walk out of his salon feeling and looking incredible. Both my mother and I have been getting haircuts at his salon for 10+ years and we will never go anywhere else! read more

I found this place via my friend whom I saw at the party and liked her hair style. I asked the name of the hairdresser and then yelped it. All the 5 stars encouraged me to go to this hair studio after a year of bad experience with 3+ hair studio in Daly city. I thought, I may give a try after a year, hoping that 5 star place will work out. We called to studio and got an appointment for the same day. Erhan was talking by phone when we talked in and he hang up the phone immediately and warmly welcomed us. He listened attentively to me in order to make sure what type of hair style I want and later offered his style too. So, we decided the style and started his job with washing my head. Although the washing part wasn't very comfortable which is not a surprise because I think females are better in this part, but he washed it several times and used hair conditioner too as my hair is too dry and thick. He was continuously asking if I'm OK with the length or I need shorter. He was talking and giving advice about how can firm my hair. He dried my hair and gave a nice style after cutting, mentioning several times that he usually doesn't give strong hair styles, as it's not included to the price. I knew about it because my friend told me. He explained that the reason of that detailed styling is that he has time for the next customer and my hair need a good work on style in order to look good. Tell the truth my hair is really a big challenge to give a style, because it is curly, thick and dry. So, that's why I was looking for a good hair styler almost for a year, until I found out about Erhan. I am very satisfied with his work, since we entered to his studio until now. I think the best hair cut is that you like it after washing your hair yourself. So, it passed more than a month and I still like it. However, in my previous experience I couldn't watch to mirror two month after cutting it. Because the lady in Daly city did it awful and I was washing my hair almost everyday to make it grow fast. In my opinion, most hair dressers can cut straight, soft hair but the masters can style curly, thick and damaged hair too. So, Erkhan is a master who can work with all types of hair and have a best result. The price is $35 including washing, cut and light dry. We were so happy with my hair style that we paid $40. read more

I am VERY fussy when it comes to my hair! I moved from London (with plenty of amazing hair dressers) to the Bay Area 2 years ago, and have been hopping from one expensive hair dresser to the other being constantly disappointed with the results. Erhan was a pleasant surprise! I decided to try him out after seeing multiple 5 star reviews on yelp, which at first I was quite skeptical about. However, in just half an hour, Erhan gave me an amazing haircut, with all the layers I wanted and did an amazing blow dry style too. His prices are not the cheapest, but certainly way more reasonable than most hair dressers around. I never write reviews, so the fact that I am actually taking time out of my day to do this, is a testament in itself to his amazing work. I am glad I found him and will definitely be back and recommending all of my friends! Thank you Erhan!! read more

Erhan is not your typical hair services. He knows what to make you look amazing without too much explanation or instruction. I just showed him how I'd like to look for the dinner and 45 minutes wash and style, my hair looks amazing that everyone at the dinner party had to notice and compliment. I came in as a hurry and a bit late as the place was actually in a beauty supply store. I left my credit card at the previous restaurant and didn't have enough cash to pay him. He told me "it's okay, I trust you, you will come back and pay me" when I offer to send paypal or venmo even. And I live in SF so I only come to PA once a week. So yes, tomorrow I'm going to stop by to pay him back with a big tip and help him to set up a venmo account so he can take non-cash, non-card as well. The 5 stars is for an amazing Miranda Kerr look, effortless and still look good the next day. The 10 stars is for being patient (when I'm lost) and the best customer services I've got! From SF with love! read more

I am so happy to find Erhan, he gave me a terrific haircut. The reviews here on Yelp were so good I had to find out for myself. He deserves his 5 stars. On top of being an excellent stylist and cutter, he is nice and easy going. He knows what he is doing and he did a great job. I will be going back again and also for color. Finding him is one of those unexpected surprises that don't often happen these days. read more

Amazing as always :) 30 mins wash cut and blowdry-- what I like best about Erhan's work is that the maintenance is so easy!!

I have been having my hair cut at Erhan's for the past year or so and I have been very happy with him. I found that he is accommodating when he can however it always helps to call him a day or two ahead. Overall I am very happy with as a person and his hair cuts. read more

Haircut was cheap ($35)..and that was about the only good thing about it. Ehran double booked for the time slot. He tried to insist that he didn't double book, till I showed him our texting conversation. While cutting or drying my hair, Ehran was answering his phone and texting. It was still a decent cut even done one-handed, but really?! Just rude behavior. He refused to blow dry my hair as he was "too busy." Payment is cash only, so be sure to go to an ATM. read more

Pro: Erhan really seemed to know what he was doing and was extremely efficient Con: I asked Erhan to give me some layers but not cut anything above the bottom of my chin, but I ended up leaving with essentially bangs - the hair was cut just above the bottom of my nose. He was also running an hour behind, and he failed to give me a heads up, so I ended up walking up and down University Ave for an hour until my haircut - which was quite rushed because the next client was sitting there waiting before mine even started. Overall, it was a fine haircut. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for or what I wanted, but it looked fine after the fact. It's clear that Erhan knows what he is doing, but I felt like I wasn't really listened to. read more

I normally get my hair cut at the same place but I recently had to make a critical decision...my barber was outta town and my hair was quickly resembling a mop. What to do? Well I consulted with my wife about my situation as I typically do about major events in my life, and she suggested I see Erhan. I took her advice and I'm happy I did! He's an artist in his craft, and a professional in every way. Tell him what you want, sit back, relax, and before you know it...magic! You look great, and so do I. Thanks, Erhan! read more

This little hidden GEM, was a wonderful find! I went in for a stylish haircut and really liked how it came out. I truly am happy with my new cut, feels good and not too expensive for a place in downtown Palo Alto. Thank you for my cut, see you again soon. read more

I had beautiful silky reddish hair before seeing Erwan. Long story short, I asked him to give me partial highlights with a sophisticated look and specifically said thin highlights where you barely notice them. WELL the result was a disaster! The highlights were all over my hair, thick, and orange looking. Not exactly what I asked him. I wish I kept a picture of what he did. On top of that disaster, he didn't want to blow dry my hair after he was done with the highlights and said it was too much for him to blow dry. This was a surprise to me because when I originally booked the appt, I asked him for highlights and a blowdry. He was so rude about it too. I was counting on him as I had an event to go too that night. I ended with a shitty job going to my nice event. The whole experience with him was catastrophic. I don't understand how he has good reviews on here. read more

The best hair dresser in the Bay Area!!!! My hair is super thick and not easy to handle so I don't have a lot of trust to others ! He did me an ombré without spotting and pricing was reasonable.... I don't get an anxiety when I sit on the chair inside I get excited to see the new me ! Highly recommend, and trusted hair designer ever ! read more

Erhans Hair Studio - Few of Erhan's job ! The best hair stylist - Hair Salons Near Me - Palo Alto, California

This is definitely a no-frills place but personally I appreciate that - I would rather pay a reasonable price for a haircut than pay over-priced fees at a fancier salon. So no, it's not the kind of place where they ply you with cookies and champagne and make a lot of small talk, Erhan just gets the job done and he does it well! I went in for a much needed haircut, I have long thick hair and it usually takes a while for me to get my hair cut or colored but Erhan was very efficient and he did an excellent job - he is the kind of stylist that will take the lead and suggest what he thinks will work for you, which personally I like. Also, just note that Erhan's is located in the back of Peninsula Beauty - I thought it was a stand-alone salon and it took me a while to find it! You have to enter Peninsula Beauty first. read more

Highly recommended. MY EXPERIENCE: I went to try a boy cut for the first time. Erhan knew exactly how to handle my hair and wrangled it under control. It turned out really well. I got compliments from friends and family, as is mandated by courtesy, but also from complete strangers like from members of the TSA. This is now my go to place. Satisfied every time. ATMOSPHERE: Great. Erhan is a sweet, charming gentleman and he will cut your hair himself. NOTE LOCATION: INSIDE the bluemercury. read more

To me he may have not be the most conversational but he really did do a good job on my hair cut!! he was a little rough blow drying but ive gotten complements for months (Seriously MONTHS) about how my hair. He is very honest and told me my highlights (from a pervious salon) did not go well with my face . I appreciate that ... he does sugar coat things some salons you come out with so many compliments from the person who does you hair and then your friends give u the harsh reality. He on the other hand tells u this might not look good ... Also how he cut my hair and styled it is very easy to recreated with spending a million hair products. 100% will go back!!! read more

I was looking for a good hair Styler and a friend of mine recommended me Erhan. I didn't have any appointment booked up. I just showed up and he promptly squeezed me that day I went between clients. He was great!!! I got my hair trimmed and colored. He is very good in what he does. I highly recommended!!! read more

I had a great haircut by Ehran today. He was extremely kind, professional, and quick. It's one of my favorite haircuts ever and his prices are very reasonable - 65 for women's and 45 for men's. Would highly recommend. He is very experienced and I will be coming back for highlights one day soon! read more

Blondes know how hard it can be to find someone who can do their highlights/color properly, but blondes, search no more. Erhan knows exactly how to give you those eye-catching highlights that people will stop and compliment you on. The only reason you shouldn't see Erhan is if you are NOT comfortable getting compliments. One note: It is a no-frills salon, but I don't go there for tea and scones. read more

Erhan knew exactly how my hair should look and how to get it to that point. My hair is rather wavy. Too often previous hair places ignore that characteristic. Erhan didn't and the results were outstanding. Very fair pricing as well. I will see him again in 3 to 4 weeks. read more

Amazing work especially for highlights and a hair cut. He knows what he is doing! Expert!! read more

I'm writing this review 20mins after leaving my second visit to Erhan's studio because I've already received three compliments on my stylish hairdo!! I've been looking for a stylist that I can trust, who consistently cuts and styles my hair just the way I like it! Believe me I've been searching for the past 8years and I've finally found him!! At the expense of having hunger too busy for me in the future, I have to give Erhaan five stars for restoring my faith in hairstylists!! If it's you're first time, you may have a tough time finding him. He's located inside Peninsula Beauty, at the corner of University Ave and Ramona. Don't be alarmed by how small his salon is. Erhan's focused attention and skills way over shadow Edge and Juut (fancy salons just two doors down). I highly recommend him if you're still looking for the perfect stylist!! read more

Adding to the kudos for Erhan! Do you appreciate a haircut that's fast, looks great, and is reasonably priced? That's what you get with Erhan. I've had similar haircuts at fancier salons that took three times as long and cost much more. On my first visit, I laid out my parameters - low maintenance, some layers, manage wavy/curly frizz - and he immediately knew what to do and got to it. He doesn't insist on small talk if you don't, and I've never had trouble getting an appointment. Erhan prefers cash; he can take cards if needed, but I recommend swinging by the many nearby ATMs before you arrive. read more

Erhan is awesome. It's no hyperbole to say he is the best hairstylist I've ever had. Good to know that you get what you pay for :) He knows how to make the style fit your hair type and you. Erhan knows Color -- Highlights perfectly.He's talented and he knows what he is doing more than any .You just have to trust him. I've been his customer for almost 8 years. I have to say I am so picky with my hair style ,so I don't trust anyone else to touch my hair. He is the BEST ! read more

I am very pleased to let you guys know that Erhan is great skilled stylist that takes care of my families hair and beauty needs. He especially did a great job on my 9 year old daughter. One stop shop for my family. Thank you. read more
