After a lackluster experience at Madison Reed--both with the technique and the products--I decided…read moreto try The Marc Salon in Walnut Creek, especially after reading that they offered a similar color subscription membership with more skilled stylists and top-tier products. I'm so glad I did! I walked in without an appointment, and Raymond took me in for a detailed consultation. From the very start, it was clear that he really knows color--he even had me step outside to see how my current hair looked in natural light before deciding on the direction. I showed him a few inspiration photos, and he immediately understood the look I was going for. The result? A gorgeous, rich cowboy copper-auburn that was exactly what I had in mind. The tone and dimension were spot on. Plus, Raymond was super fun to chat with, which made the whole appointment fly by. I ended up joining their membership program so I never have to worry about my roots or grays creeping in for too long. I can't wait to come back! If you're looking for someone who truly understands color and delivers beautiful, lived-in results in a relaxed salon environment, ask for Raymond. He's a total game changer!

I've had really expensive haircutters say how hard my hair is to cut. So, needless to say I've had ALOT of bad haircuts in my life.

She's also incredibly reasonably priced AND will do appointments on Mondays (my day off). She's PERFECT as far as I am concerned. Thank you Luda for being born and choosing hair as your calling!!

I received a Japanese thermal straightening service from the owner, Billy Ho. My first appointment…read morewith him gave me a beautiful result with a mirror shine, but I got caught in the rain right after, so we had to do a retouch. While sitting in the chair for the retouch, he told me he would try his best. Based on the last results, I trusted him completely. During the chemical processing, he pulled too hard on my head while doing stress tests. I had a three-step Hime cut, and he asked if my other stylist who cut it was Asian. He asked where she worked, where she went to school, and if it was a school. I told him I would just send her portfolio info.I explicitly told him that I am terrible with a paddle brush and a blow dryer. Despite knowing this, he still sent me home damp with a wet underside and told me to dry it myself at home. It took me an hour and a half to get home, where I continued to sweat for another 20 minutes. I spent four hours after just trying to get the kinks out of my hair at home because it dried funny.My hair is perfectly straight, but the entire length from the root down is not even close to being as shiny as it was and looks terrible, with a frizzy spot in the back and on the side. In person, the difference is night and day. He got the kinks out, but he also got the blinding shine out. I paid for this service in cash. My halo shine is completely gone from the first treatment, and I was told it's unlikely that it'll come back without major moisturizer all the time forever on those lengths and I'll need rebonding treatments, but it'll never be quite the same again.I am giving three stars down from five because of the retouch. As long as you don't get caught in the rain and need a free retouch, you'll probably be fine. I'm still in shock, I know he said he would try his best, but he didn't guarantee anything either, I trusted him completely. and implicitly While going above and beyond to try and protect the style, even staying up 30 hours so I didn't get creases. At least it didn't melt off. This was my first and last treatment. I don't think I'm going to do this anymore. I am a very patient person, which Billy commented on as well, but I don't quite know how to handle this. I am completely gutted and a little bit heartbroken--that is seven years of my life, and the first thing that I cared about after my illness was getting my hair fixed. I should've left well enough alone, a little flat iron daily, but caveat emptor.

This review has been a long time coming!…read more So incredibly stoked on my pixie cut! Randomly saw a girl in a Safeway parking lot with the cutest pixie cut ever-- I had one already, but it had been growing out. I have, I repeat, I have never approached a stranger on where they've gotten their haircut before but I had such a visceral reaction to how well done her hair was-- that I had to ask her. She told me she'd gotten it done at Fringe and Fern Collective, a salon I hadn't heard of until right that moment, I was beyond thrilled. I called Fringe and Fern immediately and asked after the person who had just done a pixie cut that afternoon and BOOM-- made an appointment with Kyle for the following week! I've kept my hair short now for the past couple of years due to thinning hair especially on the sides. Most hair stylists I've been to have either cut my hair way too short on the sides which always ends up showing too much of my scalp and how painfully thin it is or kept it much longer than I prefer. Kyle will take his time figuring out exactly what I want and manages to keep my hair looking fuller on the sides while achieving the shortness I wanted all around. A hair stylist with that kind of attention to detail has been so hard to find. My hair always grows out really nice in between haircuts as well, which is great. I tend to go 4-6 weeks between cuts. I'm also super awkward at small talk, but Kyle has a way to make you feel at ease which is so important when you're in introvert. lol Fringe and Fern Collective is located on South Main and Newell Ave, next to George's Giant Hamburger and Pacific Bay Coffee and right across from Kaiser. Parking can be a little tricky as the shopping center is in a narrow corner lot, so recommend leaving a few minutes earlier before your appt to snag a parking spot. Anyhow, if you're looking for the perfect pixie cut, look no further, Kyle is the way to go!

She responded to my message almost immediately and was incredibly thorough from start to finish. She took her time, explained everything she was doing, and made sure I was happy every step of the way. Not only did she do an amazing job on my root touch-up, but she also corrected a previous haircut that I wasn't happy with. The results exceeded my expectations! On top of her talent, Valerie has such a calm, kind, and positive energy that made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled stylist who truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work.

I went to his salon about a month ago and shoed a picture of what I'm expecting and my hair and got charged $15! He recommended an appointment a month after. I went in he started with my hair being damaged! ( why as a professional you work on damaged hair if it really is?!) And I asked him to just give me a hair cut and a couple light balayage around my face instead of full. He put the foils up to the back of my hair and he left a triangle behind my hair dark despite the fact I asked him why not getting the back of my hair done and he said I'll be too light in the back! My bad trusted him. Nothing on the ends of my hair on the lower part. He put the foils for 15 minutes and after he opened them he asked if I'm taking Medicine!!! No hair lightens up after 15 min! He gave me yellow highlights after the fist wash even worse and he charged me $460 plus tip! I texted him and explained the situation what I wanted and what he did. No respond, no solution! So I just had to leave this review so no one have the same experience as I did! Really disappointed!

I'd read other reviews of Rumi's work so I decided to visit her and I couldn't be happier with the results!! I was pretty anxious about cutting off so much of my hair, but she was very patient and took the time to really understand what I wanted from my haircut. I didn't feel rushed or pressured at all. On top of that, she was so knowledgeable!! She took the time to help me understand what kind of hair type I have, what it might realistically look like when it's shorter, and helped give me ideas of how I could style it. I walked in stressed and anxious, but when I walked out I felt confident and lighter on my feet. My hair looks fuller and healthier than it ever has before. I've been living with shorter hair for about a week now and I still find myself smiling in the mirror when I see my hair. If you're looking for a stellar professional to cut your hair, visit Rumi!!
