As a first timer with getting extensions, AND being very particular in looking for someone who did KNOTLESS (or feed in) box braids, Sharae is perfect. She made me feel comfortable and like we could talk about anything! She was funny, made sure I didn't experience any discomfort, asked me questions to make sure I wanted what I was getting. Everything was better than I could've hoped for. Every penny was worth it plus tip! I was very nervous about not liking how my hair would turn out just because of the shape of my head, but now I'm pretty sure I'm going to have this style multiple times during the year. And I'm sure that I'm gonna keep coming back to Sharae. Thank YOU, Sharae!!!

The stylist I saw has since left this salon…read more Originally I emailed Sixteen Eighty Eight through Yelp with my formula and they confirmed they were able to do it, which was great news since I've had trouble finding someone who can follow my formula in Walnut Creek. They matched me with a stylist and I came in on a particularly cold rainy day. The first issue I noted was that they didn't use heat to process, which my formula calls for. Although I've had other salons use wet heat to treat, using no heat was unusual. Beyond that, I noted the stylist would make comments where the tone sounded friendly, but the words like, "your hair is so long, do you ever cut it," were a bit rude. By the end of the visit it was clear she didn't particularly like me, but my hair looked fine under the lighting, so I tipped well and left. What followed has literally never happened to me in the four years I've gotten full root coverage. The color leeched out of my hair - as in, within a few days, all coverage was gone. I don't know what she used, but after a week it didn't look like I'd gotten my hair done at all - my best guess is that because she didn't use heat, it didn't process correctly. I just don't know. I've sat on this review trying to decide how I feel about it, but I definitely always now confirm my formula has to be processed with heat and I've gone back to my old salon in Berkeley even though it's a bit of a drive.

Check them out if you're still on the fence. Lucy is experienced, creative, and professional - I also need to mention she's the sweetest! I will ONLY be going to her from now on. If you care about your hair, let Lucy work her expert magic on you! Background: As a young professional (25 yrs old), I wanted a trendy brunette balayage. My mistake, I went to a terrible stylist that completely ruined my hair. It looked good for a couple of days, but then after the first wash all I had was a fried, messy, uneven head of straw. Enter Lucy! I miraculously found her by word of mouth. I called, explained my situation to her, and she took care of me at first "Hello!". I quickly booked my emergency appointment. I made sure to tell her as much as I could about my hair coloring history. She gave me a fresh cut, redid the uneven balayage, toned out the brassiness, and most importantly repaired/restored the softness and luster in my hair with a treatment she whipped up herself. I am so in love with the color, it's gorgeous and unique. I keep getting compliments from everyone! Her pricing is very reasonable, she explained the process thoroughly to me, and taught me a lot about hair care and styling at home as well. Thank you so much Lucy for saving my hair! Can't wait to see you again soon!!!

First time with Lucy, I just love the new look she gave me today…read more I moved to California for a year, still missed my stylist for eight years. I have tried some hair salon around Lafayette, Walnut Creek Area, and didn't return to any of them after first try. Lucy is the one I will definitely come back. She gave a consultation before the actual haircut, that's so great the stylist wants to know you and what you really want. She suggests me try some style different, but she also promises me it will be a conservative change. It turns out a fresh and young look. Love it! If you want to find someone who can do haircut for Chinese, who really care the quality of her work, give Lucy a try. You won't be regret.
