I've been seeing Berta for a few years now - she's taken me from blonde to pink and now back to brunette. Sometimes I bring an inspiration photo, but other times I just trust her judgement and it always turns out great. Talking with her makes the time fly by and the salon is so cute! I always look forward to my appointments. Thank you Berta and Gypsy Rose!! :) read more

Look no further... Janessa is the best! You will have more spring in your step after your hair is done to perfection. Great atmosphere and lots of parking. read more

Franc always provides excellent service and I leave feeling confident. The salon is very cute and well decorated. Great salon!

Ashley is amazing! She is the best hair stylist I know. I am really happy with what she did to my hair. I'm glad I found her!

6 years later and still seeing Monica! Have gone from long hair to short hair and I love it. Monica is so awesome. Great personality, always positive and very honest. It's going to be hard for her to get rid of me! Haha read more

I've been meaning to do this review for a long, long time... Berta... Hands down is the best Salon Goddess I have ever been to. Without a doubt. She has taken great care of me. I've basically had every color of (and under) the rainbow, but, she never faulters. She always, exceeds my expectations and I feel amazing about myself when I leave. All of the ladies there are awesome and treat me like a friend. The atmosphere is great and fun. I love going here and feeling like a queen after I leave. Definitely worth the drive from Fremont. read more

Janessa is probably the best colorist in the Bay Area, plus it also helps she is a sweetheart!!!!

I have been going to this salon for a couple years now and Ashley has been doing my hair. She has made it really easy to set up an appointment with my busy schedule working and going to school it's really hard because my schedule is always changing. I truly believe this salon has fair prices for what you need to have done seems like it is always busy right off of Main Street plenty of parking everyone is really nice. The salon is kept up very clean thank you Gypsy Rose read more

Amy is the best! She's been cutting my hair for over a decade now and has seen me through both long and short styles, bangs, and highlights. Not only does she make my hair look fantastic, she's an all-around amazing person. read more

A GREAT new addition to the beauty world. Of course, I followed my stylist Ashley here. She has been a stylist for 12 years and is now opening her own salon. The vibe is great, the decor is amazing, the staff are all sweet and friendly. I love LOVE the vibe, very vintage-industrial-victorian-cool (for lack of better terms) They treat everyone like they are the most important client there. Ashley has always been a wonderful stylist. She has done my hair for almost 5 years. I started with long and natural hair with blonde highlights and then went to drastic changes with black to black with purple zebra stripes to tri-colored my current blonde, dark brown, and peek-a-boo streaks. All the people at the salon share her same work ethic, love of their clients, friendly nature, and fun artistic talent. If you are looking for a new salon with a fun vibe, unique, upclass but never feels "too cool for you" give Gypsy Rose a try. You will NOT be disappointed read more

So I will starts off by saying that I gave this place MANY chances to improve. My go-to stylist was Monica because she specializes in curly hair. Unfortunately, the past few times I went in, I was treated with horrible customer service and was made to wait even after scheduling an appointment. The very last appointment I scheduled, I waited 35 minutes to be seen after my original appointment. THIRTY FIVE MINUTES! And to top it off, I told Monica exactly what I wanted and she did a subpar job and ended up making my hair look like a 90s hair spray commercial. I have never been more disappointed. I did not receive any type of apology, was not offered any type of beverage while I waited, and ended up having a rushed job done on my hair. To this day I still regret giving Monica a tip because she did NOT deserve it. I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone who values their time. read more

Ashley did a full highlight and cut for me - my hair looks just amazing - she did what I asked for and I couldn't be happier with the results. I had such a great experience I was surprised by how inexpensive it was - $250 for a highlight and cut. Most salons as nice as gypsy rose charge $450 minimum for the same thing. What will keep me coming back (aside from my gorgeous hair and killer prices) is the salon - everything was clean and organized, they have multiple brands of top of the line products, the whole salon has a relaxed energy there, and it's so nicely decorated. Highly recommend! read more

Just got such a fabulous hair cut I had to leave a review! Ashley basically read my mind when it came to what I wanted in a hair cut. The layers are PERFECT for my super thick hair. The space is so CUTE inside, too! They've done a great job at rearranging the space to ensure customers feel safe. THANK YOU!! Can't wait to come back! read more

Gypsy Rose Salon - Cut by Ashley! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Here is another review for the wonderful Ashley, she did my hair and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding back in September. She did such an amazing job on all of our hair! She did 6+ girls so quickly and by herself. My hair looked so good and stayed in all night long! I can't say enough good things about Ashley! My family and I have been going to her for about 10 years now (maybe even longer). All of the other stylists in the salon are super sweet as well and they all do a great job as well. You won't be disappointed when you go to Gypsy Rose :) read more

Gypsy Rose Salon - Ashley did an up do for my wedding in September :) - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Wow! I havent had my haircut in almost two years. My hair was heavy, flat, and dry. Got it cut by the amazing Monica and it looks beautiful!! I have a lot of thick and wavy hair but it looks (and feels) like an absolute dream. I cannot recommend this place and Monica enough! I'm so happy:) read more

My daughter recommended that I get my hair cut by Simona, as she had had such a great experience with her. From the start, Simona took time to hear my concerns about my cut and my hair. She gave me some great feedback about my hair and why my last style wasn't necessarily working for me. I have now been going to her for the last 6 months and have gotten compliments from others about my hair. A few months ago, I wanted to get highlights done. She recommended Balayage - really came out natural looking. Love it! read more

Gypsy Rose Salon - Thank you Simona for the great highlight and cut! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Today was my first time coming here and I was seen by Ashley. I highly recommend her if you want some great color done. I have thick, coarse hair that most people are intimated by and Ashley took the challenge. She made my hair perfect. I love how my hair turned out and even the other stylists and customers complimented her work. I've been receiving compliments all day. She's a master of color and very fast. Prices are reasonable, she's very friendly too. If you have hard to work with hair please book with Ashley. I will be posting pictures later. read more

Maybe my expectations were too high after reading all the 5 Star reviews but I just didn't have as great of an experience as everyone else did. I had Simona as my stylist and she was wonderful. If I could rate her alone it would be 5 stars hands down. The place is kind of hard to find. I drove pass the store and had to round back. Parking is spacious behind the store. When I walked in I was greeted by the front desk. I informed them I did have an appointment and they told me to take a seat and my stylist would be with me shortly. As I sat, I got to take a look at how cute the store's layout was. I thought the decor was nice. Simona came out and greeted me. Then she lead me over to a wash chair to get my hair shampooed. I told her I wanted to do a deep conditioning. She went and grabbed a little bottle of conditioning oil ($15) and mixed it in my hair. We got to talk a bit and she informed me that usually she would give her clients a nice scalp massage but the salon was quite busy so she wasn't able to and I had to give up my chair. I sat and waited in another area while letting the condition set a bit. Simona was very sweet and brought me a drink while I waited. When the chair became available again she rinsed me off. Simona and I discussed for a bit of how I wanted to cut my hair. The end result was beautiful and exactly how I imagined it. I decided not to trim my bangs and she told me that I can come back if I changed my mind and she'd trim it for me no charge - how awesome is that? The reason why I wasn't so satisfied with my experience was because for the amount I paid, I expected more than just a good hair cut. If I wanted just a plain old simple hair cut I would go to the salon down the street for $20. I drove out of my way to this place because of all the great reviews about their customer service and overall exemplary experience. Instead I felt that they overbooked (how could it possibly be so darn busy on a Thursday afternoon?!) and now the stylist is hastily trying to finish up with their client to rush onto the next one - leaving me feeling like I didn't received the kind of attention I paid for. Not sure if I'll be coming back... read more

Booked an appointment to have my very long, very damaged curly hair trimmed and shaped. Monica was phenomenal, and knew just what to do with my curly and thick hair! I wish I had a "before" pick to post alongside these photos but believe me she is a fantastic stylist and so nice! This salon is my new go-to! read more

Gypsy Rose Salon - Other side, love the layers! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I usually do not give reviews especially a negative one. But I felt the need to review this place. Seeing the 5 stars review in yelp, I decided to get Brazilian blowout treatment on my hair here for my wedding which is in a month. I am very disappointed with the results of the treatment. I waited for 48 hours after the treatment to wash my hair however I do not see much difference in my hair before and after the treatment. Hair is not shiny, not that manageable, frizz is still there, does not feel soft. Infact my hair is looking weird now. Also I am losing a lot of hair after the treatment. I called the salon and even got in touch with the stylist to see if she can fix my hair as my wedding is nearing. However they have not been so responsive. I have done Keratin treatment from Aveda prior to this, the results were really good. I loved my hair then, soft, shiny, manageable, no frizz. May be this place is good for other hair styles but definitely not for brazilian blowout hair treatment. read more

Gypsy Rose is great! Andrea is my stylist, and she's awesome. She's helped me to rediscover my curly hair, and she always works with my schedule to make sure I'm able to get in, even for a quick bang trim. She's also very communicative about any time she is running late (which has actually only happened once). She remembers her clients and makes good conversation as well. Though I haven't had my hair done by any other team members, they are all super nice and seem to have happy customers. read more

Gypsy Rose has such a funky young vibe. The staff is all young and friendly. As you enter and are waiting to see your stylist you are offered beer, wine, tea or coffee. There's plenty of parking in the back. Monica cuts my hair. I have long, thick hair, which not many people can cut and style well. There's nothing worse than a bad haircut, especially for us, girls. I tell Monica exactly what I want(long layers, face framing layers and a shorter kardashian-esk middle part fringe). Each time, without a fail she delivers. read more

I love this place! Andrea did a phenomenal job. She knew what I was asking for, and gave good advice based on my hair. It's important to trust your hairdresser, because they are experts, and Andrea delivered! I was going for a more natural, blended blonde streaks and I think they look great. I'm very happy :) read more

I think I've found a new salon! I requested Simona and she did a fantastic job with my hair. I wanted to go shorter again and needed help with my bangs. She was great asking the right questions and making sure I was going to get the right cut. She also was great at explaining how to style my bangs and explaining how she was cutting them so that they would be more tame instead of being all over the place. I love how she cut my hair and the way she did it. I'll definitely return - I'm so pleased with it! read more

This has to be one of the worst experiences at a salon I have ever had. They were rude, unprofessional and lacked interest in their clients. I made an appointment with Monica. I got there 5 minutes early and was told to have a seat. I waited patiently while the girls working there sat and gossiped and talked. After 25 minutes went by and only seeing one other person I got up to ask if I would be seen soon. They simply said yes. I sat back down waiting patiently when (not knowing at that moment) Monica walks in. I finally start getting my hair cut and find out she had a cancellation and decided to go get her nails done before my appointment and was their the entire time I waited for 30 minutes for her with no one telling me a thing. What's worse is she totally messed my hair up. I had to go to another place to have it fixed. Don't come here, save your time and money and go some place that's more professional and knows how to cut hair. read more

My hair was getting really difficult to put up with since it was so damaged from bleaching/color. I wanted to get a haircut ASAP. Called this place and thankfully I was able to schedule an appointment within the same week with stylist, Monica. The interior and decor of this place is so hip and pretty. The staff is very friendly and easy going. Everyone in the salon(stylists and clients) seemed to be enjoying themselves. Monica did a great job at cutting my hair and fulfilled my requests regarding length and shape! The layers shape my face really well,I'm very pleased with the outcome. This will probably be my go to spot for hair cuts now! also, FYI this place is cash only, there are no atms inside so be sure to bring cash! There is also a Walgreens right across the street if you need to make a withdrawal. read more

Gypsy Rose Salon - Cut by Monica. She's a great stylist,I love how well she did the layers!! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

This is the best salon I've ever been to. My hair stylist is Monica and I have also had Frank do my hair. Monica is a hair miracle worker. The entire vibe of the salon is great. Recently relocated right off Alameda. They are conveniently located with plenty of parking and can usually get an appointment in a reasonable time. I couldn't see myself going anywhere else after finding Monica a few years ago. read more

I got an amazing facial by Erica. It was 90 minutes of relaxation and pampering. She was great about taking time to assess what my skin truly needed. She explained the procedure and the products she was going to use. My face feels softer and looks smooth. I'm very happy with the treatment! I can't wait to go back for another facial. If you want to look better and feel beautiful, go see Erica! read more

Andrea is the only person I will probably ever trust with my hair color ever. I never have to worry about a bad cut or dye because she is so knowledgeable! Plus she is super friendly and loves explaining processes to you or making any recommendations if you're not sure what would look right. Everything you could ask for in a stylist! read more

I highly recommend Ashley! I had been curious about getting a shag haircut for a while, and for some reason my old stylist (at a different salon) always warned against it. I asked Ashley about getting a shag haircut, and she thought it would be great with my wavy, slightly curly hair. It was seriously the best cut I ever had! It has grown out so nicely, too. My haircut was in October, and I still feel like this is the most I've loved my hair. Just scheduled another appointment for a cut and color this time. I'm so glad I found such a great stylist so close to my house! read more

I got my first haircut here with Simona, and wow I am impressed! She is an expert at what she does and very understanding and attentive of what I wanted! I came in to fix a bad haircut I had received at Special Fx 2 weeks prior. Simona completely turned my hair around and I seriously love it!! I used to tie my hair up everyday because I didn't want to look at my bad haircut but now I actually wear it down :) Simona is friendly and makes you feel welcomed but not overly chatty to the point that it's not a relaxing salon experience. I love that she allows you to take a few days after you cut to see if you want to change anything about it and she'll fix it for you !! Simona gave me her card which has her email on it and a site to book with her online. She's super responsive and I can really appreciate that because I hate calling around for appointments while I'm sitting next to my boss at work haha. Overall a great experience, I definitely found my new go to salon :D read more

First, I have to say I really like the aesthetic/vibe that this salon has going on. I love the vintage/pin-up glamour feel they've created. I also love that I was offered a glass of wine during my cut; I hardly ever get my hair done, so feels nice to be extra-pampered! I had a cut done by Simona and was very pleased with the entire experience. I wanted a big change so I decided to cut off ~7 inches of hair, and she did some light layering to frame my face. The next day, after the curls had fallen out, I was regretting not going shorter. She had given me her card and told her to email if I had any issues. I thought it'd be a longshot, but I reached out and explained how (by absolutely no fault of hers) I wasn't satisfied with the length. She agreed to take some more off, and was able to fit me in within a week of my first appointment. I'm very grateful, because I am much happier with it now!! She was super sweet and personable, and I appreciated her going the extra mile to make sure I was happy with my new short hair. read more

Love this place. Janessa Wynn has been doing my hair for over 10 years. She's amazing at color and cut. Love her and love the whole Gypsy Rose Crew. Thanks as always, Janessa. read more

My hair was getting wayyy too long, so I decided to stray from my regular place and go to Gypsy Rose! Janessa did my hair because I heard how good she is with layering. I have straight, thin Asian hair so it's not too hard, but I wanted to find someone who specializes in layering because I was scared someone was going to mess up my hair haha. She's super nice and friendly, though! Usually I get awkward silences with my stylist, but Janessa was nice. It was pretty comfortable. The hairstyle came out fine. I asked for edgy and I got it, so she did a terrific job at that! But my bangs.. She's good with layering, but she's not the best when it comes to bangs, I guess because it came out pretty icky.. :/ The one other thing I didn't like was that she was the one who rang me up. I don't know if it's just me, but I really don't like it when my hairstylist handles the transaction because it makes me uncomfortable giving tip.. I ended up giving her $10 tip when I wanted to give her a bit less because she took the bills and she was like, "do you want change?" in which I thought it was awkward saying yes, so yeah. Admittedly, it was technically my fault, but I hate being put on the spot like that! It was an okay cut, but I think I'm going back to my regular stylist. :) read more

Let me preface this review by saying: I am the laziest person when it comes to my hair. I will let roots grow out for six inches... I sometimes shower at night just to go to bed without brushing my hair first... I will get 1 haircut a year, but then get the bright idea I can trim it myself in between (bad idea ladies, no matter how many YouTube videos you watch). I basically treat my hair horribly. Well last week I was beginning to get bothered by my hair dangling all the way down to my low back and looking quite scraggly at the ends. Yes, this IS what happens when you neglect it for a year. I hopped on yelp to see what I could do about this dire situation. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Gypsy Rose was nearby, had a solid 5 star rating, about 60 reviews (from real people), and was cute inside!!! I called immediately and got an appointment the next day! Simona was my stylist and made me feel comfortable right away. She listened to what I wanted, but when I was unsure about certain things, she gave me her own personal opinion about what she thought would look good (which I love). She spent an hour and a half with me, and it felt like I was hanging out with a friend the whole time! We had much to talk about and before I knew it, she had me washed, cut, blow dried, styled and ready to go!! My hair looked beautiful and healthy and I realized I should probably treat it to a trip to the salon a bit more often than once a year. I would definitely recommend Simona to anyone who is looking for an excellent hair stylist. Prices are very reasonable and the salon offers an abundance of services. I will be back! And within 2014 I swear!! read more

Berta is your girl if you want a fresh new look and some great well-done color. I've been going to her for about 2 years now, and have since tried out a bunch of different colors, ombres, balayage - you name it. Each time the color is seamless, the blends awesome, and I've had zero complaints (and i'm picky). Bonus: I've almost always stared blankly at her and told her I forgot about my appointment until the day of. Somehow Berta still manages to give me new looks and color suggestions, even when it's the end of the night and she probably just wants to strangle me for making her try and come up with new ideas. She also doesn't complain when it takes ten hours to blow dry my hair! Extra bonus: Her last suggestion color suggestion is now my go-to, and i'm absolutely in love with it. read more

As a guy i have had some pretty crappy haircuts. So i decided to try this place out after my sister comes here often. So I scheduled an early morning appointment with Kelli for a Saturday in just 5 days. When i walked in that morning it was a really welcoming environment and at the desk was Kelli. Kelli is a really cool and friendly stylist. For my first time there, she made me feel very welcome, sat me down at her station and exactly understood how i wanted my hair to be cut. We had really good conversations and it was a great experience. Overall my hair came out awesome and it was for a great price too! Will be back soon! :) read more

Love it! Found my new salon in the southbay! Checked out Gypsy Rose when I found out Janessa moved here from Sailors & Saints. She was booked for the whole day, so I went with someone else since I absolutely needed my hair colored that day. Jocelyn was a doll! She colored my hair auburn-red - the exact color I was looking for. After being disappointed with an all-over color job from a random spot in San Francisco, I knew I was in search of a new salon with fantastic colorists. And Gypsy Rose is that place! The salon is situated on Meredian Ave. (steps before it turns into Park Ave.) right off of San Carlos in the Rose Garden neighborhood of San Jose. It's an intimate spot with great decor. If you like local SJ / Chicano artwork, be sure to take a look at the "gallery" / small exhibition of work in their hallway. I spent my minutes of letting the color set right in that little corridor. Ladies and gents, you'll be pleased with any stylist at Gypsy Rose! They'll take care of you and listen attentively to what new cut or color you desire. I look forward to visiting Gypsy Rose again in two months! read more

I only get my hair cut twice a year (I know, I'm terrible), and after 2 visits to Gypsy Rose, I can assure that it will be my go-to place every 6 months. I've gone to a number of salons, and each time, I was either unsatisfied with my cut, or satisfied with my cut but unsatisfied with the price. Here, you get both - a great cut for a good price of $55. Simona is awesome! She cut my hair both times I visited, and I really appreciated how she added her input while understanding what I wanted. Some stylists get so caught up with their personal opinions of what will look best for your hair that they fail to acknowledge their client's interest. You won't have that problem here. I have long, silky hair that tends to get flat....a lot of the time. Simona added layers to give my hair more volume, and I continue to love my hair as it grows out. Give this place a try, and you'll fall in love with your haircut...and their super cute decor! read more
