Simply the best!! I'm a loyalist when it comes to Facials and better skin care. I've been to so…read moremany places and have had "decent or good" Service. Jenny was just over the top amazing. From taking time to get to know my skin, to the foot warmer, foot massage, to the back and neck care. All the things that you would never expect in a facial.

It's really a special treat to see beautiful arts hanging on the wall of a local Bamboo Hair + Body. The location is convenient, right off Main Street of down town Half Moon Bay. I love the vibrant colors of her paintings. My photos do not reflect how unbelievable her creativity and her color work of her arts. I highly recommend to come and see her paintings with your own eyes. I appreciate her nature capture in still arts. I feel happy and inspired looking at her beautiful bright colorful paintings. Her creation is unique, special and rare! Her arts, especially those with the hummingbirds inspire me to love, to hope, and to be happy and creative. Her acrylic paintings on canvas, and Fence Chunks from recycled wood, which hang on walls, fences, gates and decks are marvelous!

You will make your eyes super please! And to support a local artist! Perhaps, to get a stylist to do your hair and enjoy the beautiful art work on the wall!

The color correction strategy was exactly correct. I now am back to a very dimensional ash blonde with highlights and lowlights and NO orangey tone. She told me exactly what her approach would be and it was skillfully executed as efficiently as possible - I had a full afternoon of issues to solve. Thank you SO much, Rosie!

One of the worst salon experiences. Here are the lowlights:…read more 1. Cute salon dogs but one bit my finger (broke skin). Perhaps not the best salon dog. 2. Asked for highlights and a dramatic shift lighter. Left with nearly same color as before (my daughter did not even notice a change when I picked her up). Went with a picture and we fully discussed beforehand. 3. One stylist who was helping iron for the Brazilian blowout was pulling so hard I could feel hairs breaking as he was working. There are so many broken hairs sticking straight up now I look like I got electrocuted. 4. Asked for some face framing pieces and they are so choppy and unblended. 5. With my requests at time of booking (cut, highlights, and a smoothing treatment), I would have hoped to be scheduled with someone with a bit more experience. To her credit, owner offered to fix color in a couple weeks but so much went wrong this first trip I thanked her and told her we are not a good fit. Would not recommend for cut, highlights or smoothing treatments. UPDATE: a few hours later I noticed dye/toner was left on my ear. Picture is after I had already wiped some off. UPDATE 2: For $800, I am glad I gave the salon a learning experience. SMH.

Following all the stellar reviews this company has already received, I was excited to come. I was scheduled with Wendy for my appointment, and the experience exceeded my expectations.

She took care of my , made sure to clean and protect my skin, educated me more on a good look for my eyebrow shape (bc I've had a lot of trust issues with my eyebrows), and maintained a hygienic workspace.

From the…read moremoment I walked in, the space felt clean, private, and calm -- which matters a LOT for a service like this. Wendy is the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable immediately. She's warm, professional, and super efficient without ever feeling rushed. She checks in with you throughout, has a gentle technique, and you can tell she has years of experience. The Brazilian itself was way more manageable than past places I've been -- and I had minimal irritation after, which is a huge win for my sensitive skin. Also: she's thorough. Like... she cares about the details and it shows. I left feeling smooth, clean, and genuinely taken care of (not like I was just another appointment being pushed through). If you're new to waxing, nervous, or picky about who you trust -- book Wendy. This is 100% my new go-to spot.
