If you're looking for today's stylist who is an expert in cutting techniques, color, and styling, Gary's the man! I have been with Gary for 10 years now and now my family joins me. My husband needed some special car for his thinning hair - after Gary cuts his hair he looks like that young thick haired man I met years back. My son has curly hair and likes it longer - Gary gave him a style that is youthful and yet makes us adults happy too. Gary also makes it an experience at his salon. The place is beautifully designed and he'll even make you a delicious Manhattan to sip on while you wait. He's the only stylist so it's an individual experience. Over the years Gary has become a dear friend as well. I can't say enough about this talent! I even drive to Pleasanton from SF every 3 weeks for my cut and color. If you're looking for a stylist, and if he has room to take a new client, he's the guy! read more

A very rude man with an inappropriately large amount of chest hair showing for a professional service provider. Had to wait far past my appointment time as he worked on 2 other clients at once. My end result would have been fabulous. Were this 1988. If you like dated looks maybe this the place for you. My grays are still showing in spots as well. read more

Gary Patrick; the owner was my hair stylist on June 17th. I'm not exaggerating, I truly believe this has been the best haircut I've had in my entire life. I'm 41, and have medium long curly wavy hair, textured and prone to frizz. I love my hair, but sometimes, it's a nightmare trying to look groomed, and modern and cool at the same time. Gary jumped right in, first exploring my hair texture, weight and health, then carefully studying the shape of my face. I had forgotten the photo of the style I was going for, so they immediately brought me a tablet and found the exact photo for me on the internet; and he worked, inspired from that cut, but adapting it to my own face, bone structure and features. Gary seemed to really understand my curly locks, in a way that no one has before, (understood that I wanted to show off my natural waves and curls, not flat iron the hell out of my Latin American ethnicity) He displayed excellent intuition, artfulness, and wonderful technique. He didn't tug, and pull when he made precision cuts, and was very respectful and sensitive to my own hair's identity and natural flow. I can't tell you how much I appreciated this experience and the respect he expressed for my unruly locks! It's been about three weeks since my haircut, and it's only gotten better every day. It's such a pleasure to style my hair, (not a chore, or Russian roulette), and I've gotten so many compliments from friends, and strangers on the street. Totally worth it. It's the best money I've spent on my self in along time. Such a great investment. I will definitely return. Love it. P.S I was not entirely pleased with some hairstyling products they used on my hair. One of the leave-in products they used to "set my curls" left my hair feeling like it had cement, or heavy plastic. It was difficult to wash this out. Make sure you speak up, and ask exactly about the ingredients, (silicon), and be assertive if you don't want them to use some of these on your hair. read more

I need a change. I was sick of my hair, and since losing some weight, I had too much hair for my thinner face. Gary listened to me, came up with some great ideas, and gave me a shorter, but not so short I was uncomfortable with it, haircut that made my hair into a bubbly curly cloud. Cute! But he mentioned the keratin treatment that could give me STRAIGHT hair. What? I've never had straight hair. I've never run my fingers through my hair. I've never even flipped my hair in an insouciant manner. Oh hell yes, I'm going to try it. Just to give shout out, Julie was the assistant that day, she's lovely and sweet. I came back two days later to meet with Jessica for the keratin. I had bought and washed with a sulfate free shampoo, but if I hadn't, they would have done it for me. Then came the treatment, which is like applying hair dye but it smells like mint chocolate. She then dried my hair with a blow dryer, and was very gentle and careful. There were billowing clouds of chocolate mint steam coming from my head. Then came the flat iron. She was meticulous. It took an hour and a half. I have straight hair. I look like a different person. A friend didn't recognize me today. I love it. It can't be washed out for 72 hours, or even get wet. Even sweating is not advised. If it gets wet, immediately blow dry and flat iron it. No clips or elastics, and when I got up in the morning I just had to quickly flat iron it back into shape. I think when I wash it the curl will come back, but not as extreme as my usual curl, and if I want to flat iron it, I will be more successful than my previous sad attempts which did not leave my hair straight. Gary Patrick is a good business man. He's hooked me on this, and I would definitely go back to Jessica, she has a great personality and does perfect work. The treatment, also called a Brazilian blowout or global keratin, can last 2 to 3 months. There goes my discretionary funds! read more

I have been going to Gary Patrick salon for over twenty-five years. My hair always looks fabulous. In fact, I was in a recent situation where I was taking a photo with someone who is world famous, and she commented on how glamorous my hair looked. Thanks, Gary, for the fabulous cut and style! There's a reason I don't go anywhere else, and a reason I commute back from San Francisco (where I live now) to Pleasanton for haircuts and color. read more

I have been going to Gary @ Gary Patrick Salon for over 10 years now. He is wonderful, and very talented. He's not one to guess wrongly at what you want. He never does his own thing, and he educates you about your hair and cut. This is a very upbeat, hip, and luxurious, yet down to earth salon for everybody. I could go to any of the stylists at the salon as they are all talented, but I'm a bit spoiled with Gary. Shel read more
