Hair By Paullette - Hair Stylists Near Me

I found Paullette based on Yelp reviews when I needed some last minute help before going out of town. Paullette was amazing, squeezed me in on Valentine's Day night at 7pm. When I met her, I immediately love her energy, her decorated studio, we hit it off right away. I love her honesty and I trust her opinions. She is straightforward, will tell you if something looks good or not. She offers many options that fits what you are looking for, she will tell you the plus and minus of different options. For me, a big chunk of grey is around my face plus some others scattered throughout. I wanted something low maintenance and no longer want to maintain a brown base color with highlights. I have dark hair naturally. I was tired of looking at brown hair and going lighter and lighter to just hide my grey while losing the shine to my hair. Paullette suggested I try money piece by bleaching the hair around my face to ashy silver and dye the rest of my hair dark brown. I was hesitant at first, but LOVE LOVE LOVE the result. I can embrace my whites, take advantage of it and have a trendy look instead of the typical white roots then dark hair chunky look. I can also let my whites go for longer and don't have to keep doing root touch ups. My hair looks healthier, shinier, look more trendy. I have gotten so many compliments. Thank you Paullette! read more

I am soooo pleased I got introduced to Paulette as someone to consider for my color. First off- before we talk color, let's talk about blow drys- because she is amazing. Sadly, these days, many stylists don't know how to do blow outs that last or how to manage getting curly hair to smooth. Worry no more. Paulette will be immediately added to your speed dial once you have experienced one of her blow drys. Now to color. After a few blow outs it was time for my roots and balayage. Perfect results - I am super happy and I can go in later in the day so no need to take time off work. So in summary- I highly recommend Paulette, even though it means my access to her may be harder as she continues to get busier read more

I have lived in San Jose for 9 years and have been very unhappy with my hair stylists until I met Paulette This year. Prior to that I had a great relationship with my stylist for 15 years in chicago, and within 1 meeting, I knew Paulette would fit this bill. I have thick curly hair and she knew exactly how to style it and make me look my best. I haven't been this confident in a decade. Did I mention she is also as beautiful inside as she is outside? read more

WOW! I found Paullette while visiting my family in San Jose (originally from Los Angeles) and I could never find anyone in LA who could pull off this color!!! I only wanted one sitting going from brunette to blonde (I attached a before photo also!) and all the artists I spoke to said it would take me weeks to achieve this shade of white... BUT she fricken pulled it off !!!! It was such a pleasant process she was super friendly and the hours went by rather quickly for such a long process. she was completely okay with us eating and relaxing in her space while we waited. overall it was an amazing experience and i will definitely find my way back to San Jose to get my hair retouched by her! If anyone knows how hard it is going blonde from brunette in one try ... then i've said enough! 5/5 everyday all day! read more

I was terrified to get my hair colored after a bad experience at another salon, but Paullette showed me how you should be treated and what beautiful colored hair looks like. I found her through Instagram and Yelp and decided to make my consultation after reading all of her 5 star reviews Paullette assured me the color I wanted was possible without damaging my hair. I immediately booked the appointment with her and she was able to squeeze me into her schedule that same week. I booked a balayage (not to fix a bad color job, my hair had grown out and the bad color was gone at this point) and I left feeling and looking like a supermodel. I have thick, long, wavy hair that feels like it wears me more than I wear it. Paullette knew EXACTLY what to do with it from the wash, products, style, color, and cut. As soon as I sat down in her chair and we got the process started, my anxiety and fear instantly melted away. She does a great job of making you feel comfortable all while making you look fabulous. Make your appointment, sit back, relax and enjoy the magic as it happens ladies! You won't regret it. My dark hair now has beachy carmel highlights throughout and I didn't think it was possible to have such beautiful healthy hair in real life. Its been about 2 months since it was done and the cut has grown out beautifully. The color is still fresh and has lightened beautifully with sun exposure. I literally get a compliment on my hair every day and all the credit goes to Paullette! Don't miss out on the magic she works, its amazing. read more

Where do I begin? Paullette is a hair God! It's always difficult to trust someone, especially when it comes to your hair however, with her years of experience and creativity it hard not to LOVE her work- originally I came in for a trim and 2 years later, my favorite and most relaxing time is when she does my hair. As I mentioned previously, trusting a hair stylist is difficult because you like your hair a certain way- well let me tell you, she listens, recommends and gives you the confidence to break your normal routine! 1. Hair cut- 10/10 a truly great cut is one that after a few weeks grows out but still looks just as good as the day you got it. 2. Hair color- 10/10 I have black hair, black hair dye is difficult to manage because it shows so vibrantly. I can trust Paullette as she does an AMAZING job not getting it on my skin, I can literally go the day of the event and be confident that'll it'll be perfect. 3. Hair treatments- 10/10 she only uses the best product on her clients hair and does not skimp out!!! Not to mention the amazing scalp massages that I LOVE! Olaplex 4. I-tip hair extensions- 10/10 man, I can't think of a better way to change up your hair style without over processing or damaging your hair. I didn't even know these existed until she told me about them because I was hesitant in coloring black hair light. These are the perfect item to get the look you want in a damage less way. 5. The famous PAULY T blow outs- 10/10 all these other places like Dry Bar and what not have NOTHING compared to when Paullette blows my hair out, not only is she fast, but the blow out lasts for days!! Sooo worth it! Overall, I really can't say enough how much of a great experience I've had with Paullette. I promise you, you will not be disappointed when you go in! Did I mention I'm middle eastern, our hair texture is different than most but she knows how to work it!!! read more

Hands down my favorite hair stylist to go to I love Paullette and her work. I know every time I come I am happy with the out come of my hair. Amazing customer service and very sweet personality. Thank you so much Paullette L'Esperanza read more

Paullette is the sweetest and most honest hair stylist I've been to :) She really cares about the overall health of your hair, not to mention her prices are extremely reasonable. Making an appointment was super simple via StyleSeat. She called me that same day to confirm an appointment for the following week. I had originally went in for an ombre, but Paullette recommended an alternative coloring process (highlights + color) that was actually more cost-effective and would produce an even better effect. I really appreciated her honest feedback. The color (red-plum) turned out absolutely amazing too! At the end of the coloring procedure, she gave me a bombshell PaullyT blow-out. I'm sitting on Day 2 hair now, and it's still looking fabulous. I would wholeheartedly recommend Paullette for any hair coloring/styling needs, and can't wait to go back! read more

Hair By Paullette - Love it! - Hair Stylists Near Me

Absolutely amazing. She'll listen to what you desire then tell you what is possible AND the process. That way she doesn't promise anything that can not be done in one session. She's honest and will tell you how long it takes and how to properly take care of your hair. Especially bleached hair since a majority of people I know have bleached hair. As far as in personality, she's a wonderful hostess and will make sure you are comfortable. The room is a beautiful pink and plays Netflix in the background. Very inviting! In short. You truly get what you paid for. And I don't regret anything. read more

Paulette is one of the great hairdresser in bay area I have met. She is good in giving suggestion and does a great work. The best part is she gives personal attention to an individual. She handles only one customer at a time. Her prices are also very reasonable. I will recommend her services to everyone! Give it a try Ladies! :) read more

I'm writing this review solely based on the outcome of my hair and the service that I was given. Paullette as a person is a sweet and caring individual and I genuinely enjoyed speaking with her. I've also read other really great reviews. I felt like it would be a disservice to the community to not be able to share my experience. Initially, I came to Paullette asking her to give me a ombre from a gradient of dark brown/light brown/ to a cool shade of blonde + a haircut. What my hair was before: I had medium to long brown hair with warm honey baby lights around my face and towards the bottom of my hair. I got my hair done at a really great salon prior ( brighton salon, beverly hills) During the service: I told Paullette I wanted her to cut my hair an inch and she convinced me to cut 2 inches. I trusted Paullette and let her start coloring my hair. She began to start bleaching my hair very close to the roots. Basically, the haircut and color were horrendous. It's caused me a lot of stress and anxiety because my hair is completely ruined and will not be the same for at least a year until all the bleach grows out. Paullette has no idea how to cut hair any other style besides the one style she knows how to do. I ended up with much shorter hair almost 4-5 inches less than what I came in with. The haircut left me with a poofy triangle haircut. The bottom of my hair was poofy and the ends kept flipping out. I had to go into another salon just to get the haircut fixed. But to be honest, the worst part is the color. I have absolutely no gradient in my hair. Paullette essentially bleached all my hair (but the roots) one color and left me with yellow/orange hair that does not curl/straighten or style at all. Essentially my hair is black roots with yellow/orange bleach that has NO gradient. When I contacted her about how much i hated it, she insisted it was "exactly how I wanted" and she "warned me" it wouldn't be the exact color. I went in to her salon again so she could tone my hair and make it less yellow. That color lasted about one wash. She charged me over $300 to basically ruin my hair. Now, I am stuck with short poofy yellow and horrendous hair. I went in to another salon to get a consultation to fix it and its going to cost me another $300. I have gotten ombres and balayages over 10 times in the course of my life, and many haircuts. I have never had anyone ruin my hair the way she did. Paullette is a nice girl, in fact I really like her. I do not think Paullette understands color or how to work with hair beyond her scope of what she is used too. I have NEVER been so unhappy with my hair. Attaching pics below. Two of my hair and one picture of what I asked for. read more

Paulette is a true hair chemist! I see her once every 3 months and every time​ I am in her salon, she makes me feel right at home. She takes the time to really understand your hair goals and doesn't do anything against her morals as a hairstylist. Paulette truly​ has the best interest for the health of her client's​ hair, and tells you the truth about what's realistic and what's not. I went from someone who has virgin black Asian​ hair to a sandy blonde. Looking at the photos of the back of my hair, I am still in awe that it's mine! Every girl needs a great hair stylist who understands how to work with the texture of your hair, and I have truly​ found mine. read more

Paulette is truly amazing! She's been doing my hair for almost 3 years now and every time I see her I get flooded with compliments from friends and family. She makes my frizzy curly hair look absolutely amazing. She's great to talk to and the time with her passes by really quickly! I spent almost 2 and 1/2 hours the other day at her studio and it felt like 30 mins at most. Her new studio is really cute! She will recommend the best haircut/color for you if you aren't sure what you want. Over the past 3 years she's done highlights for me twice and countless hair color/cuts. Can't recommend her enough! read more

Loved loved loved everything! She's definitely an artist! For a set of hair like mine (thick, long and lot of volume) she did best job to give me a complete new look. As good as a hair stylist she is, warm and kind of a person she is. Usually I don't find stylists that accommodative as her! read more

Paullette is #1 A true professional, with the skills of a ninja and the patience of a saint. Her swift and masterful touch transform me into anything I want to be. Style is important to me, and I don't like to settle. I've fired dozens of hair stylists before. I'm glad I did, because it led to me eventually stumble upon Paullette. First Impression The studio is in an average building next to Westgate mall. It would be hard to find, except my champion hair stylist guided me on the phone every step of the way. I never felt like I didn't know exactly where I was going and what I was doing. She greeted me with a big smile and open arms. I couldn't have felt more welcome. The Experience Her studio is small, cute, comfortable and private. Pictures of pop-star kitties decorate her pink walls, along with artifacts she collects from her clients. Her space is outfitted with the highest quality equipment and a large TV in case you want to be entertained while waiting for your hair to color. I've seen Paullette two times now, and planning a third. Both of my cuts were impeccable, and left nothing untouched and unattended. I also did color my second time around, and it still holds strong a couple of months later all thanks to the products I was referred to and the hair washing schedule I was assigned. There is nothing else I'd want from a hair stylist, and I would refer Paullette to literally everyone. read more
