The absolute best at Excellent Hair Salon! Came in for a color correction due to an error that was caused by someone else at another hair salon. Needless to say, Kelly was patient and understanding, listening to my vent about my hair and experience from the previous salon. She was knowledgeable and I trusted her judgment and suggestion. During my wait, Kelly had offered me a drink and snack. Two hours later, my hair is looking wonderful, Kelly did an amazing job; very happy with the results! Overall, very peaceful and calming experience. Incredible results! Would highly recommend Kelly at Excellent Hair Salon -- the best hair salon in Newark! read more

Huge fan of this team! For nearly ten years, I've been loyally making the long drive to Newark for this team, who does an incredible job working on my hair color so my hair remains healthy and the balayage looks fresh for years until it literally grows out and I repeat the process. I've never had to come for a touch up, it never turned brassy and I frequently get compliments on my hair. I also get compliments from other colorists asking where I got my hair done! It is nearly a full day commitment to balayage my long hair so it's extra nice that Kelly is so lovely to spend time with! Vibe is very chill with a steady stream of customers coming in. There is free strip mall parking and a Starbucks next door if you need a caffeine boost or snack during the process. I've also had my hair colored by Kayla as well and you can research Kim's artful color jobs on their instagram; Very talented team! There's a reason why they've been in business for so long and you need to 2-3 months in advance to make an appointment with Kim or Kelly -- worth it!! Photos of various color jobs through the years. Ready for next appointment soon! read more

Kim did my haircut and overcharged me for long hair layering $143.00 idk why my hair is fine and thin not thick little over my shoulder not considered long. This was my first time at this salon. I took snap shots of their pricing on their display and match with other salons in Fremont. It makes no sense to charge over $100 for just a cut. The economy has nothing to do with haircut prices going up. U r not using any products just the same scissors & your time. So I kindly request that she credit me $30 back. As my total amount charges are $164.00. I called her but she decided to challenge her rate. Ladies please go elsewhere don't go bankrupt getting chopped. Ur hair will survive this economy take care of your health and family until prices go down. Don't give business to such people who take advantage of world chaos and have zero talent. Get on TikTok and watch some videos buy a nice scissor from Amazon $10 and cut your own. read more

I recently visited this salon and Kelly took care of me. I showed her a clear reference photo for a soft layered haircut and light brown looking color. Unfortunately, the result didn't meet my expectations. The hair color turned out significantly darker (black) than what I had asked for, and it lacked the dimension and lighter tones shown in the reference. I had specifically mentioned wanting a softer, lighter brown look. The haircut was okay not worth $120. felt quite basic. I'm sharing this feedback so future clients can have clearer consultations. I should have waited till June for Kim's appointment. It is my son's birthday tomorrow and being a first time mom I thought of going with kelly hoping that I will receive the look I want. Imagine already leaving your baby behind feeling guilt and returning with regret. Im genuinely disappointed with the color. Sharing my desire color tone vs what I got. read more

I had the best experience ever at Excellent Hair Salon with Kim and Kelly! They specialize in color correction and have their own signature layered haircuts, which are absolutely amazing. I came in for the signature haircut, and I have never had anyone make my hair look this beautiful. I have fine hair, and they somehow made it look full, thick, and luscious--like a total hair makeover! The layers gave my hair so much movement and shape, and I left feeling so confident and happy. On top of their incredible talent, the salon now has a full Indulge Bar with noodles, candies, chips, crackers, and drinks like matcha, coffee, and tea. It makes the whole visit feel like a luxury experience. If you want flawless hair and amazing service, Kim and Kelly at Excellent Hair Salon are the dream team. I 100% recommend this place--you will fall in love with your hair! read more

Been waiting for Kim to take new cilents and when she finally did I made an appointment. I still had to wait several months after that call to see her. I did have to come in for a consult which is standard with any new service. So I impatiently waited for her as my roots grew uncomfortably. My so cal friends said she's the BEST and there's one girl who wanted to come to the bay just to see her so I really wanted to give her a shot. My haircare journey has been rough due to my life being a hot mess so June was my first appointment with her and a correction. Now December is my second session and I did move so I had to fly in to see her as I'm scared another stylist will fcck up my hair. She is the sweetest. She truly is the best. Well worth the wait. Thank you Kim! read more

My hair felt & looked healthier. I just hated the color I chose, totally not their fault! All my fault on choosing a color I thought I'd like. At least it's demi and it'll wash out & I know what I want now. They ask if I like the lavender undertone & I'm glad they asked because I really don't. Someone had a last minute cancellation so they were kind enough to squeeze me in at the very last minute. Loved the fact that they gave me a consultation. They do charge $20 for consultation if you don't complete your service here. I love the fact that Starbucks is next door! Free WiFi and coffee fill up before you go in. Customer service was friendly and accommodating. I cut my time short because I Was in a rush to pick up my child from school. Will I come back? Not sure. Maybe I'll try to find something closer to home. If that doesn't work out I might come back. I felt that I could had found something more affordable (less than $150) for the same toning service they provided since my hair was already lifted to a level 9 before I came in. 2 stars for consultation advice. 4 stars for customer service though. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this Hair Salon... other than that they are PHENOMENAL!!! Hands down pure perfection and artistry from these talented stylists... Both Kim and Kelly are lovely and love their craft and it shows with the attention to detail they execute on each client. Kim is known for her Signature Layered U Cut Layers and her uhmazing color work.

It's extremely clean and mindful of those who are concerned about Covid19. The prices u see may seem a lot buy she use nothing but high end proven products and strictly via Guy Tangs signature line.

This review is long overdue!! I found Kevin on Instagram after I was hunting for a hairstylist to save my hair. I had gone to a different salon not too long ago, asking for a nice ashy toned bleach, but what I ended up with was a 9-hour session global bleach that left my hair super damaged and not even the color I wanted. I've been to Kevin twice now and he's delivered every time with what I wanted! I love the vibe of this salon because it's very friendly, welcoming, and clean. I also know that all the other hairstylists in the salon are extremely talented as well, so you can't go wrong with anyone! I'm so thankful to have found this place because they know exactly how to do what you want with your hair and they maintain it's health. read more

I'm so happy with how my hair turned out! I'd been wanting bleach-free balayage for about a year, because I want to color my hair but also keep it healthy. This was my first time getting my hair done at Excellent Hair Salon. Honestly, I nervous the whole time because I'd made the mistake of reading bad reviews before my appointment. But I was amazed by the results, Kayla's a pro and she knows what she's doing! Not gonna lie, the price was steep so I probably won't get it done more than twice a year. Thank you Kayla, I'm so happy! read more

This is my second time coming to this salon and my second time having Kayla attend to my hair. Kayla is always pleasant, gentle, and genuine. Her work has always been consistent I always feel so bad because she gets a hard arm workout from dealing with my hair for 6-8 hours. She's always super kind and her work is amazing! I do believe this salon holds itself to the highest standard and has some of the most talented hair colorists that the bay area has seen. I cannot stress enough, if you have challenging DARK hair, this is the safest place for you to be! (And maybe the only place you should be!) Not only do they color/cut both dark and light hair beautifully but they care for and nurture your hair. Regarding COVID Protocols, this salon is doing an excellent job upholding safety and health regulations. I felt very safe and secure at this salon and I only hope that all future clients continue to be compliant and kind to this talented team who are trying their best to uphold the safest practices. Bonus! These hair specialists use guy tang products and use skills and techniques that have been passed down from Guy Tang. I'm picky about hair color and service. I've always been made comfortable here and always been impressed with their hair services. If I could, I would give 6 stars out of 5. Above and beyond. read more

Kim has done it again! Amazing & Flawless work Kim! thank you! A huge shout out to Angela & the remainder of staff as well! Thank you for taking great care of me today! I presented with a hair challenge. This was a difficult color correction since some parts of my hair were "natural" & the other parts was blonde hair dyed black using "black box hair dye". I was told that box hair dyes are every Salon artists worst nightmare . The box hair dyes especially in the color black is an extremely difficult color to lift/lightened. Given the challenge, Kim was able to lift/lightened my hair to this color with one 1 session! That is truly amazing! Of mention: Excellent Salon is compliant & adheres to Covid-19 Hair Salon Guidance. Temp checks, hand sanitizing and Covid screenings are done at the entrance. Mask policy & safe distance between stations have been also been implemented. read more

Since Kayla and I agreed to allow my hair to grow out and routinely trim off the damaged ends for almost 2 years, today we're finally ready to put some color and magic in my hair! I couldn't be more thrilled with my experiences visiting Excellent Hair Salon in the past years. Since the very first visit, Kayla and Kim evaluated the condition of my processed hair and made suggestions based on my goal and preferences. After the consultation, I committed to allowing my hair to grow out and slowly trim off the damaged hair over a period of two years. At each haircut visit, I came home refreshed with style and bounce in my hair. Finally, today the the wait is over! Kayla reviewed examples of my preferences from her IG then she her magic and gave me a complete transformation! I'm in love! Thank you, Kayla!! read more

I have been looking for a go to salon for awhile in the area - I finally found one yesterday when I got my hair done at Excellent hair Salon with Kim. I called ahead to see if I could get a consultation - Kathy picked up the phone and happily ensured me to stop by before closing at 7pm. After work, I stopped by and was debating what color and style I wanted to go for. Kim examined my hair and did a strand test, then gave me couple of options to work with. She showed me some pictures and explained what would work best for me. She's phenomenal with the colors and is great and matching colors as well as with mixing colors to create a unique look for YOU. Kim was able to take me because one of her clients cancelled last minute. FYI - Kim and the staff stayed until 10PM! Thank you guys for being so accommodating. Kim was friendly and totally understanding of my request and left my hair feeling healthy and revived. Thank you Kim and the staff (Kathy and Lena). read more

I barely comment or give feedback on yelp but I gotta shout out to Kevin for being an awesome hair artist. My hair was messy 2 tone color when I came to him and I left with an nice amazing dark brown color. I would give this salon 5 star because after spent 4 hours there, I would say all those artist over there they work with their passion and their own technique to make sure you leave with a big happy smile on your face. Last but not least, Customer service are excellent. I had a nice and good experience with this salon. Highly recommend everyone to give and them a shot, you won't regret it. Definitely will come back with some of my friends. read more

Came here cuz I needed a haircut. Only availability was with Kayla, I figured everyone at the salon was good so I just booked it with her. I just wanted a trim anyway. I told her I wanted long layers and to keep the length. She told me my hair was very dry and needed to cut off a lot of it. She showed me what she was going to cut but she definitely cut more than what I asked for. To be fair, Kayla did a good job washing my hair. She gave me a nice head massage. Also, I was happy when I left the salon. However, when I got home the next day I realized how much I did not like my haircut. Peep the photos for evidence. It is so choppy. And also to be fair, when I called to try to get it fixed, Kayla was open to coming in earlier to fix it for me. However, I just didn't feel it was right for me to go back in fear that even more will be chopped off. I will have to wear my hair up for a while. This is the reason why I give them 3 stars. Kayla was very nice and open to fixing my hair but I just didn't feel comfortable going back. This is a review purely based on the haircut. Honestly wish I never came here. Will have to wait a while for my hair to grow back now. read more

This review is for Kayla. My hair was up to my tailbone when I went to her for a haircut. In my Instagram communication with her I sent her pictures she had on her IG, of the style I wanted. She cut off 50% of my hair. I didn't ask for half my length to be cut. I asked her for long layers, and provided her with inspiration cuts that she has on her Instagram. My hair was already cut like the inspiration hair but it was outgrown. She took the crown of my hair and cut it one length. Half my head is one length. Also, the bottom of my hair is splitting, I was told it was because of dull scissors and the way she cut my hair. The layers are disconnected and not blended. I've went to three different salon's as my hair is ruined, each salon said my hair is not fixable unless they cut more length off and each salon was confused to why she took my crown and cut it one length. Ive never had extensions but I was told to get clip in extensions or regular extensions while my hair grows because half my hair is one length. I found Excellent Hair on IG, and it seems like they have a lot of inspiration pictures of hair "Guy Tran" cuts, not actual hair they cut. I thought I was going to a professional hair salon. Kayla refused to give me the owners number as my hair is so bad. I can't wear my hair straight nor can I curl it. Right after she cut my hair, she turned me around so I wasn't facing the mirror. She blow dried my hair and then curled. She never showed me how she cut my hair before styling it. I told her immediately it was too short. I didn't realize how bad the layers / cut was until the next day and when I washed it. I contacted her immediately and sent her pictures. I paid her $120 to ruin my hair. Maybe she's good with color , but she is not good with cutting hair. My appointment was for 6 pm and she was done before 7pm. I messaged a lady named Kim as Kayla is tagged in some pics and I never got a respond. If you look at their five star reviews most don't have pictures. And, on IG Kayla has pictures of people's hair she didn't cut. I didn't read the hashtags. I do not recommend this salon at all. It's going to be years before my hair grows out. read more

Been coming here since June 2017. I just wanted to update how my hair has been since then! I have gotten lighter and lighter (see more pics)!Guys, you do have to understand that it will take a long time to get your hair super light. Unless you want to damage it. Also, I take good care of my hair. 1-3 times a week Olaplex treatment. And no more over the counter shampoos and conditioners. Purple or blue shampoo in between salon visits. Lena has been my stylist since I started going to this salon. She is so sweet and kind. Honestly, all them there are super sweet and kind. Kim, Lynn, Kayla and Kelly! Such great people! That is why I don't mind going all the way to Newark from Walnut Creek. And I also don't mind spending 8-10+ hours there when I get my hair lightened. Keep in mind that great work takes time. And that is why I take care of my hair in between visits. Btw, not all of my sessions are 8-10 hours. It's less when I am only doing roots and retoning. I have also learned so much about hair coloring/lightening. Please be reminded that the photos they post are not a one time session kind of results. And it most likely took them at least 8 hours to do. I suggest to have an open mind when you come in for your consultation and your first appointment. The staff there will tell you honestly if the color you want will work on your hair or not. Also, each and everyone's hair is different. The picture I wanted will never look exactly the same as my hair will because that girl has different hair. Keepn and open mind! In the end, if you don't like it, you can let them know and they will fix it for you. read more

Terrible experience... Came in for a haircut, bleach, and tone and walked out with wet partially bleached hair. About 45 mins-1 hour of Kevin bleaching my hair he stops and tells me I have to go brown... when my hair is already blonde and I came in to get the top part (roots area) touched up. No apology or explanation on why, just that I couldn't go blonder like the reference photo HE chose. After a confusing conversation with him and Kim, they told me that they couldn't use their method of bleaching hair on me since my previous baby lights made it too hard. If I went blonder or stay at my current level of blonde, the transition in my natural hair to the blonde would not look good. After letting them know numerous times that I don't want to go brown, they said they can stop the bleaching and just tone it to the same level I already have in my hair. Worried about the bleach already in my hair I asked how much the toner would be and Kevin stated it would be $200. So not only would I not be getting my roots touched up, but I would have to pay $200 for a color I don't even want (and then pay another salon to fix it afterwards). I was so upset at this point that I left right after he washed out the bleach, not even knowing what it looked like. While this entire ordeal was extremely unprofessional, the fact that I had an in person consultation with Keven before coming in to get my hair done makes it even worse. I came in, he looked over my hair, told me what we could do, and picked out a reference photo. When he told me about how their method wouldn't work on my hair I asked why I wasn't told this during the consultation or at least before he started bleaching my hair. Unexpectedly, both Kevin and Kim shrugged it off and said he didn't realize my hair wasn't fit for their technique and recommenced I go brown, let it grow out, and then come back to them to get it back to blonde. At this point I was dumbfounded since isn't that the whole point of a consultation?! To see my hair and what can be done to it. The cherry on top of all of this is that Kevin gave me a haircut before bleaching. I asked for face framing layers, long layers all around and chin length curtain bangs (which he agreed to). I came out with hair 1-2 inches shorter than I wanted, layers ALL around my head, and no curtain bangs. After going to a different stylist, she told me that they didn't even cut it evenly and had to fix the haircut for me. To end this awful experience I had to pay $80 for a less than mediocre haircut. They did not say sorry once, comp any of it, or seem to find anything wrong with what they did. While this salon may appear to be great, I cannot emphasize how deeply they aren't. Unprofessional and unapologetic is all I can say. I do not recommend going to this salon. read more

I originally requested Kim, but she is not taking any new clients so Kayla dyed my hair and did a fantastic job. Because of COVID, they are only taking appointments so call ahead for a consultation if you are a new customer. They charge $20 to test your hair if you colored before. If you would like to move forward to dye your hair, you have to put a $100 deposit and book your appointment. They tend to be booked for at least a month out unless there are cancellations. Also they charge additional 3% if you use card so bring cash. In total the appointment was 9 hours long, but I did have dark virgin hair that does not pick up color/lighten very well. Kayla was very communicative throughout the process and dedicated to make sure the color was right. It originally turned out more gray than I liked, so she happily took more time to add more dye to achieve the final look. Also, my layers were a little chunky so she texturized the ends to make it more seamless. Overall, it turned out even more beautiful than I expected and the Olaplex treatment made my hair so soft despite the bleach. It was a little pricey even with short hair, but the results are worth the splurge. In total it was $450 for the color and treatment. Haircut was $80 to cut my butt length hair to a long bob. No matter what stylist you get, they are dedicated to one coloring appointment per day so you will receive 100% of their attention. read more

WOW! I can't say how much I enjoyed getting my hair done at this place! Their service and technique definitely holds up to their name Excellent Hair Salon! I would recommend making a morning appointment if you are thinking of having a major transformation! My hair took around 10 hours!! They are upfront about their pricing. Most other salons will only give you a base price or will not completely disclose how much your hair will cost till the very end. Their pricing is extremely reasonable for the amount of time and effort they put into your hair ~~ Before making an appointment, you need to go into the store to GET YOUR HAIR TESTED. What I mean by that is, they will pick out a could strands of your hair, add bleach to it, use aluminum foil and a straightener (to add heat), to see how easy your hair lifts (how easy your hair changes color ). During this time, you will be able to tell/show them your inspirations, and get a price quote. When I first went in, Jim, my stylist, asked me what I wanted to do with my hair. He then went over what he would be doing, and then started bleaching my hair. While we were waiting for the bleach to process, the stylists were playing movies on the TV. After the bleaching, they washed my hair, colored it, treated it, and then gave me a haircut. The whole process took around 10 hours (this includes the picture taking time). I got so many compliments on my hair after it was done :) and even though the blue didn't last too long, it faded to a very nice silver color! (2nd picture is about 3 weeks after) I would highly highly highly recommend coming here :) read more

I recently got my hair done here by Kevin and he did such an amazing job. You can tell he is really passionate about his work. I am very particular about the color and cut of my hair but he really exceeded my expectations. Although we are still dealing with covid, the salon really used the time away to think of great ways to handle it. When you first come in, they offer you hand sanitizer and they also take your temperature. Each station and hair washing area is separated by clear dividers. The salon is also spacious enough that you would not be in close proximity to other customers. If you are thinking about getting your hair done, I highly recommend coming here! read more

This team puts in WERK! I can go on and on about the results from my appointment today, and I will...but first it's important to say just how amazing THE PEOPLE are at this salon. They prepared me for an 8-12 hour appointment, what I didn't know was just how chill and fast it would feel. Mainly in part to the fun loving and outgoing personalities. I loved every part of today! The story is...there wasn't supposed to be a story! I started shopping for a stylist to color my hair to prep for my good friends wedding in August. Last time I did anything to my hair was Feb 2016 and most of that color needed to be cut off anyway, so you can say I had semi virgin hair. After scrolling through countless IGs and asking for next available appointments (which were in sept/nov), my friend referred me here. SHE'S GONNA GET A DOPE XMAS GIFT THIS YEAR. Kathy responded to me email almost instantly. Just so happened she had a cancellation and asked if I could come in tomorrow at 9am...uhh, YEAH! She got my phone # and sent a message with everything I should expect from the day including time and costs. The process is long and when you get a quote you might be thrown off but it's so important to pause and think about the alternative, 2-3 sessions elsewhere @ $250-$300?? Coming here is a no brainer. Kathy is my new colorist soulmate. I genuinely enjoyed her company, even if she wasn't working on my hair. She didn't just work on my hair, she schooled me on the process and everything I need to do at home so I don't have to constantly come in. I'll let the pictures speak for itself. Best decision, ever! read more

Im a licensed Cosmetologist in CA and this is unacceptable on my first app Kelly and Kim(owner) were joking about how dumbs blondes are and made a joke then told me you're not blonde enough bc I knew the joke. I felt like that wasn't ethical 2nd app went to Kelly and she really messed up my hair she over processed my hair , which Kim said that was inevitable.. excuse me ? That was negligence of not checking on my hair every x amount of minutes, she let the foils sit for more than an hour without checking them to the point where my hair was completely falling out. she didn't give me a shadow root so my hair is very blotchy , in general looks horrible which again the owner said that Kelly told me that would happen , she never stated that hair will be over processed, blotchy and will have chunks of hair coming out. Kelly was straightening my hair with very high temperature where the smoke coming out of my hair was extreme so I told her to stop , I guess they thought I was blonde enough to not notice the damage they caused and now I have to pay $2899 for extensions plus treatments save some of my hair and cover all the mess she left me .They did refund me but had me go in person to the salon 1 hour 45 min away which i told Kim it was far but still went when i got there in order to give me my $ back they had me signed a release of reliability so I won't go financially against anyone in the salon. they didn't give me a receipt that by law they should've even if it's cash. read more

Kayla is amazing! I came in with just one inspiration picture (which can be tough because they only get one angle and that's all they got to work with!) and no idea what hair color technique would be needed to accomplish it. But I was in good hands - Kayla knew what she needed to do! This was the biggest thing I've ever done to my hair and she made me feel so comfortable by explaining what she was going to do, being upfront about the cost, and asking about my preferences (cut style, length, color warmth, and maintenance style). To accomplish the look, she did long layers and foilyage, which was about ~5 hour process in total. Thank you Kayla for all your time and for taking care of my hair (pretty sure I walked out with softer hair than I walked in with)! I love that I can wear it straight or with curls, and the color is perfect for the transition to cold weather season. read more
