Thank you Danny for saving my hair again! Danny has always been welcoming every time I have come to refresh my hair. I needed a root touch up, toning, and a little trim. He always delivers! read more

Danny always delivers with top tier hair coloring! Over the last few years I've been leaning toward more brunette colors bc being blonde requires way too much maintenance and I don't have time or energy for that anymore. Back to the dark side I went and oh my goshie, I am in love!!! I've received balayage and no bleach balayage + root melt services so far and the results absolutely speak for themselves. I'm quite a detail oriented gal and my hair is so well blended! Danny is also very sweet and offers little snacks while he works his magic on your hair. Thank you Mr. Danny for giving me gorgeous healthy hair and he is highly recommended! read more

Absolutely phenomenal. Danny is nothing short of amazing. This was my first time getting my hair done, after strategic planning and reviews, I had reached out to him on Yelp. Danny was quick to respond and gave me a same day appointment! I explained to him that this is my first time, I am requesting something low maintenance and help to cover my grays. He said with my skin tone, he had something for me. I gave him my trust and the results were absolutely stunning. You can see the before and after, I could not believe that it's my hair! Highly recommend it, prepare to be there for at least a couple of hours. His lovely assistant was great, I loved every moment of my experience. read more

Hair by Danny - Before and after - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

From the moment I stepped into his cozy suite (first door to the left inside My Salon Suite), I felt at ease. The space is clean, welcoming, and well-equipped with a couple of salon chairs, a large mirror, and a hair wash station. I made an appointment earlier in the week for a Saturday morning. I came in at 7am for an cut/color. Tbh, I didn't realize just how wild my hair had gotten until Danny showed me a photo of the back of my head and wow. I showed Danny a video of an ombré balayage with lighter, blonde ends. He gently suggested a different approach: all-over babylights for a softer, more dimensional look. I trusted his vision, and I'm so glad I did. Fast forward a few hours, through bleaching, toning, multiple washes (shoutout to his lovely assistant!), and a fresh cut.... and I walked out feeling like a new person. My hair has movement, brightness, and dimension without feeling heavy. I genuinely felt relieved seeing the transformation. Before and after pics truly speak for themselves. Thank you, Danny ..you'll definitely be seeing me again! read more

I had such a great experience with Danny. I came in with long, natural hair and inspiration photos for a soft, dimensional lighter brown, and he really took the time to do it right. My appointment took about 5 hours, and I appreciated how intentional and thorough he was throughout the entire process. The vibe was relaxed, welcoming, and professional, which made a long appointment feel comfortable and stress-free. He explained each step, prioritized the health of my hair, and delivered results that matched my inspiration while still looking natural and blended. I paid $380, which felt very fair for the time, care, and quality of work. I'm so happy with the results and would absolutely recommend him. read more

At first, I was hesitant to have someone dye my hair for it might get damaged and become brittle but, I have to color it to cover up the grey as my wedding is coming up next month. I called couple of salons to inquire including Danny and he was the nicest person I talked to, he accommodated me even in short noticed and really did a great job. I highly recommend him not only for his excellent job but for his outstanding customer service. His assistant was also extremely attentive and helpful. Danny regularly checked in to see how I am doing and even bought me a snack. I don't usually make a review but I really think Danny's work deserves to be acknowledged. It took us about 5-6 hours and it's all worth it. Thank you so much Danny! read more

Asked for grey blending.....there is nothing blended. We agreed he would not touch the white growth....he put a toner on it all. He said toner would wash out (see text messages).....it stained or it was not toner. I would definitely not recommend or trust this guy. Yes we did discuss prior and we agreed to not touching white on top & to add low lights on the front.......nothing to what was agreed to. read more

I haven't had my hair dyed for about 10 years so when I moved to SJ thought I would change it up. Found Danny on yelp and his instagram https://www.instagram.com/_hairbydanny?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Texted him to make an appointment which he was very responsive. Was able to book me in on short notice for a 7AM slot. We discussed colors and he made recommendations but wasn't pushy and listened to what I wanted. Took 4-5 hours and the results were absolutely amazing. Extremely happy! read more

Honestly felt like I was overcharged for a service he sped through he was working on two other clients while trying to cut my hair I was originally told it would be 50-60 and he ended up charging me 70 and said I got a $5 dollar discount. He didn't even part my hair or shampoo it before he cut it he straightened it uneven at that and cut my hair in a hurry I told him I only wanted a couple inches and he cut a lot more then agreed on and said it was because I have too much hair that I looked better in a v cut all I asked for was face framing and layers which he didn't measure to make sure they were even on both sides. I told him I thought a blowout was included because every place I've gone to get a haircut incudes shampoo and blowout he said that would be extra charge all in all I will not be returning it takes a lot for me to trust someone with my hair and this was not a good experience. read more

Hair by Danny - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

I have been going to Danny for a couple years now and he slays my hair EVERY SINGLE TIME and I only see him probably once every 6 months. What I love most about Danny is that he is straight forward. I tell him "Danny, I wanna go lighter" he will literally tell me that "we can't because it'll damage my hair BUT we can do this instead" and his alternative turns out better than what I had originally wanted anyways. Some places will kill your hair just to get you the color you want. Mind you that each time he does my hair, it not only feels health but it IS healthy. Which is the absolute best part because yes I want my hair color but I also want my hair to be healthy in the process. He literally makes me feel like the baddest b1tch after our hair sessions. I even take my daughter to get her haircuts by him because she only wants him! sessions. My forever go-to hair colorist and stylist, the best of the best! read more

This was my first time getting my hair done professionally so I was super nervous. I also have a history of using a burgundy box dye (little over a year ago). Danny helped me combine what I wanted with what worked best for my skin tone to give me the perfect low maintenance balayage. As others have mentioned, he is a bit rough with hair so the process was slightly painful and lots of tugging. So only reason I would mark down a star. BUT I am going to give him a five star for the end result and how efficiently he gets things done. He also gave me the proper products to take care of my hair at a lower price available online/in store. I am looking forward to see how my hair looks/grows in the next few weeks. read more

Hair by Danny - Ashy Brown Balayage - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

All the photos of Danny's beautiful work on here inspired me to reach out to him, and I'm glad I did! I've already gotten so many compliments on my hair, Danny is a balayage wizard and he truly cares about his clients and maintaining the health of their hair. I was surprised reading some negative reviews about his pricing, it feels harsh especially considering his pricing is lower than what you'd find at bigger salons with multiple stylists. Balayage alone can cost up to $500! Hair stylists spend HOURS on your hair, you should pay them their worth, and I was happy to do so for Danny. My only mild complaint is he could be a little gentler with your hair sometimes the tugging hurt. But if it yields results like this, it's worth it. Thank you Danny!! read more

Second time coming back to Danny and I always look forward to it because of the confidence boost I get from getting my hair done here. Literally right when I walked out of the salon I got a compliment on the sidewalk. We went blonde last time and I told him I wanted to go darker for the fall. He recommended ashy brown in case I ever wanted to go lighter again in the future. I trust him with everything hair related! Danny has become such a dear friend, from us bonding over Instagram accounts, travel, to him offering food and refreshments during our long appointments. My boyfriend and puppy always join me for my appointments and Danny welcomes them with open arms too. Took about 4 hours to go brown! One session. I'd recommend him to all friends and coworkers! read more

Danny is a one of a kind solo hairstylist!! If you want to bleach your hair, Danny is your guy to trust with the process. Not only did he take me in the same day (he usually never does that--- so THANK YOU DANNY), but he made my experience one of the best hair styling experience I've had. Key points: * Made me feel comfortable * Listened to my needs and what I don't want done to my hair (if I communicate that of course) * Took the time to bleach my hair THE RIGHT WAY * Made my hair "date night ready" read more

Scrubbing for a change for the New Year and just maybe it'll bring me some good fortune. Text Danny on Yelp and got an immediate response to text him with my inquiry. I love that the response time was swift. We spoke about my long hair that needed a cut. Don't know if I want color so made an appointment for the weekend before New Year's Day. So happy he got me in. I am sure he is booked. His reviews brought me to give him a try. Has two chairs. Got the music playing and watched some travel videos. It's chill. I just wanted to write about my experience and touch up on other people's comment about the tugging and roughness they experienced. It wasn't like that at all for me. Danny is trying to comb through your hair and blow it out so pulling of the hair is necessary but it didn't hurt. lol Danny gave me a look that he thought fit me since I don't want to go blonde nor bleach my hair. Very patient with the process and we had a conversation majority of the time. He was multitasking, I'd give him that!!! Has his assistant which is nice too. Wanted to sleep several times while waiting for my hair to sit, having it washed and massaged then blowed out. The assistant was fantastic. Danny chose a chocolate brown to match my natural hair which I am so so so in love with. Took a great chunk off when I got the cut. Love my long hair but haven't cut it for over a year and it's time to chop it off. I told Danny "I trust you if you need to cut more". Was being bold. Today is a rainy day so I might not go out but I really should. Can't wait to show it off at lunch with family tomorrow and to my colleagues at work. Danny is more than a 5 star experience for me. I'll be back in 6 months, he told me how to maintain the color and look. When it fades out, it'll shine even more. Thank you so very much Danny for making me feel beautiful... read more

Came in for a haircut... left with a beautiful natural color WITHOUT bleach!! :) Danny was so easy to talk to. Called and he texted me ASAP and even took me in for a last minute same day service! Originally just wanted a haircut, but we both had some time so he offered to color my hair despite how last minute it was. My hair wasn't toooo bad, but I just really wanted to chop off the dead ends and add a little dimension to my hair while maintaining a natural color. We opted for a nice chocolate color with face framing layers that were a bit lighter! I was just so happy to see my hair come back to life LOL Overall, Danny was a pleasure to work with and I can't wait to come back! Hehe PS. His studio is small, but still had a cozy vibe and located inside "My Studio"! read more

I've been meaning to find a new salon for some time now since I wasn't fully satisfied with the person who was currently doing my hair. The color always ended up not exactly being what I asked for and then would fade into an unflattering shade. I've been really unhappy with my hair the last few months and I was just too busy finishing my masters that I didn't have time to take care of it. But luckily I found Danny on Yelp and I knew I needed to book an appt asap after looking at his work. He's very quick to reply and scheduled me immediately since I wanted my hair fresh for Lunar New Year. And oh my gosh this was by far the best experience I've ever had getting my hair done. I showed his some inspo pics and he recommended that I go a bit darker and ashier since it would suit my skin tone best. Danny has great attention to detail and really took his time fixing up my blocky babylights. He gave me the exact cut and color I've been wanting for years, this is the first time I've been 100% happy with my hair. Thank you so much for being so sweet and attentive! read more

The reason I gave a 1 star is for the pricing. Overall from the text messages to getting an appointment, the process was good. Danny was responsive. He gave me the pricing before I got to the salon. When I saw the price I thought, it included shampoo and blowout so I was ok with it. I got there, showed him the picture, he cut it like the picture, but the whole entire haircut was 15-20 mins because the style was not complex and I don't have much hair. He charged me $50! Expect around the $50+ for haircut only. It was overpriced in my opinion for what I got. I felt for the price if he had thrown in the shampoo and blowout then I would have given him a 5 star. read more

First time going to Danny after a long time of not going to any salons. Shown below is a before and after photo of how my hair was/is- including my brothers' hair and his friend. I wanted to go to a salon close by home where I can go home if needed for my kids and found out that Danny was just a few minutes away, great. I requested a message through yelp and Danny responded back right away. He gave me his number to schedule an appointment. I gave him a reference of what I desired, scheduled an appointment, and deposited $50 to secure the time slot through Zelle. I scheduled my appointment for 7:00am on Sunday. We ended the session around 1:00pm. At the time he was working on me he was also working on my brothers' hair and his friends hair. They started at 9:00am and finished the same time I did. Would've been earlier if it wasn't for them waiting on me- Danny was working on 3 clients at the same time and we did not feel rushed at all. So, if you plan on doing your hair with a friend of yours I would recommend. Makes the time go by faster. Throughout the whole process Danny made sure that all 3 of us were comfortable, offered drinks that's available, and asked how we were feeling when bleach was on our heads. Everything sounds great and I would deduct a star, but that's because I felt like Danny and his assistant could've been more gentle with my hair. Like other reviews that mentioned previously. I had mentioned it to Danny that he was pulling my hair too hard and he corrected himself, but towards the middle-end I felt like it was rough again- to me, it hurt. Overall, I had a nice experience with Danny working on my brothers' hair and his friend. The outcome was surprising phenomenal. My brothers hair was super light after only one session- his hair didn't break off now felt like it was damaged. Deserves 5 stars regardless because his work is great! (Next appointment I'll mention to be more gentle with my hair. I'll be a returning client!) read more

First time coloring my hair, and I would 100% recommend Danny. You'll get complimented a lot on your hair! He responds within minutes (on Christmas Eve, too), and took me in the day after Christmas. It took around 6 hours to get my hair from virgin black hair to ash blonde balayage with soft money pieces. I didn't quite know what I wanted in terms of tone, but he made the professional decision based on what looks good with my skin tone and it came out great, healthy, soft, and full-bodied in just one session. He actually didn't recommend going light in the winter, but did it anyways based on what I had shown him LOL -- which is funny and I appreciate it. I didn't even show him anything consistent, but he did what looked best. He and his assistant made sure we were comfortable, hydrated, and fed (with fruit, very healthy). He also gave good tips on how to make the hair pop with clothes, makeup, etc., which helped as a first time blonde. Pricing is reasonable. I'll be coming back for my future sessions. Thanks Danny! read more

Unfortunately, I will not be going back to Danny moving forward. I do admit I was a couple minutes late but, I do not think that reason is valid for the service i received. Before my appointment, I appreciated that last minute Danny could have me come in for a quick trim of my hair. I also confirmed the time with him and I also asked him how much the price would be before I got there, which he did not respond to. Based on no response for pricing, I usually do not go to places that I have never been before. I decided I would still go as it was just getting some trimming done to get rid of my split ends so, I did not think I would be charged a large amount. Once I was there, I waited for him to get into the room, then I met him officially and we talked about some things including his interest in how much it would be for opening a business in Sacramento as I am originally from there. He also asked if I wanted layers since my hair is thinning, I said ok. In the middle of our appointment, he took a personal phone call since he was speaking in his own language for about 15 minutes while I waited for him to be off the phone. He did apologize after he was done and then finished layering and trimming the ends of my hair. After my appointment, he started tending to another client while I stood there awkwardly awaiting to pay. I finally said, hey Danny so, how much is it? He said it will be $50. I was shocked as I just got my hair layered and he got rid of my split ends. He expected me to just have $50 cash laying around in my purse and I told him you never responded to my text, then I asked if he has Venmo and he said yes, that's how I was able to pay. I feel as if I was definitely taken advantage of as he purposely didn't respond to my text and then wanted $50 cash for something so minor. After this, I will not be going back for anything. read more

Based on the reviews and the photos in the reviews, I decided to give this place a try because I have only highlighted my hair once and that was 6 months ago.. during a trip to VietNam! So I didn't have much to go on other than putting all my trust in the reviews of seemingly happy and complete strangers. Boy did they steer me right!!! I was able to make a same day appointment and came in at 2pm today, thinking I'd be done no later than 5pm. I didn't end up leaving this establishment until 6:20pm!!! Danny was so patient working through every strand of my hair. I have a ton of thick hair. I also have so many grays.. he told me 70% of my head is gray! So I trusted him to pick a color that would give me a natural look so that when my grays grow out they will blend nicely. I was so impressed with his mad skills!! And so incredibly grateful for all the time he spent on coloring, washing, blow drying and styling afterwards. I came in looking like a granny with blond highlights and left looking like a million bucks!! Thank you Danny!!! I will absolutely be back!!! read more

I came back for a touch up, not knowing if I wanted to go darker or lighter. I didn't want too much breakage so I just asked to go darker. I trust Danny's eye, we went with an ashy brown. We trimmed some dead ends before styling. This session took a lot longer since my hair grew quite a bit, but the outcome was totally worth it! Love their service, always making sure you're not thirsty/hungry and comfortable. read more

This review is loooong time overdue Danny is really professional and he knows what he's doing.

Thank you so much Danny and I'll see you again soon read more

I read all the reviews for Danny, the good and the bad. And chose him honestly after months of looking at different hair stylists, their work on Instagram, their reviews. I felt so hesitant because I've had bad experiences paying out so much only to have my hair redone by another stylist, which is not only expensive but also time consuming. And when he asked for a $50 deposit over text message, honestly I felt kind of worried, and looked at all the negative reviews in detail again. Most of them were about the $, or they felt he was shady in pricing, but almost everyone could agree his work was great. I came in without really a complete idea of what I wanted. I had some pictures I liked but honestly, even I knew they were all over the place. Wasn't sure if I wanted to go super light, or if I wanted to keep a darker chic look. Typical me, I screwed up on the preparation of what I wanted. He then made a bunch of suggestions based on my skin tone, which I decided to trust but was honestly kind of hesitant throughout the process (I've been stung so many times by hair stylists and their recommendations!!) 4.5 hours later and omg, amazing. Just amazing. I'm so glad I trusted him, and I love my hair. I can't always say that with every stylist, and I always just kind of hold my breath and tell myself I'll figure It out later. As for the pricing. Guys, it's extremely fair. I think perhaps there is a misunderstanding on hair coloring prices. It always needs to be quoted and the starting amount is usually for short hair. But if your hair is long, pretreated, tough to color because of its texture, etc etc, those all need to be factored into the final price. Especially for balayage / babylights since it requires more skill and time. Other places I've gone to are comparable, if not more. And they don't always do a good job (I once paid over $600 to get my hair done at 2 different places because the first place did such a horrible job - that was 7 years ago before inflation!) I've honestly done way too much research on who I was going to go for my hair color, and everyone charges so much for baby lights. Danny does an amazing job, and he really knows hair. He told me others require 2 visits to what he can achieve. And based on my research, it's honestly true, he's not being boastful. I'm not going to talk about other reviewers experiences because they have every right to feel how they do. However, I had a really great experience and am so glad I found Danny. read more
