The studio she's in is safer, IMHO, than going to a salon because she's the only one there. You don't have to worry about sharing air with a dozen other people.

She looked over the pics, asked questions, made suggestions, and I got my ideal cut. I am so excited to find a hairdresser that has really honed her craft and knows how to cut and shape hair. She really knew how to work with my head shape and hair growth pattern. Her fees are reasonable and in line with the area. I really like that she works in an individual salon suite, which limits exposure to other and gives privacy.

We were referred to Stephanie in 2014 when searching for someone to color correct my daughters hair…read more(another stylist colored her hair bright purple and after the color faded away was in desperate need of correction). Stephanie gave us a consult over the phone after reviewing pictures I had texted her. She was so professional, her focus and work ethic is meticulous and the results were amazing! I was so impressed that I left my previous stylist and have been seeing her ever since. I look forward to each and every appointment and feel like a new woman when I leave (which is why I see her every 8 weeks on the dot ).

I've had my hair colored in the past and was always happy with the results. Also, she has cut my daughter's hair since she was 4! She's so patient with kids. I highly recommend her! Bonus: online appointment scheduling!

I have SUCH a hard time finding a consistently talented hair lady. However, my wonderful hubby…read morebought me a pedicure gift certificate 4 years ago and while getting an amazing pedicure, I learned that this fabulous gal also did hair. I was skeptical. SERIOUSLY skeptical because it seems that no matter what I did, I could not found a consitently talented, creative and yet down to earth hair lady since we'd moved from Columbus, OH. Even in Los Angeles I couldn't find consistency! I was NOT amused. But, I digress. So, I make an appointment for Amy to do my hair, I go to the salon and settled in, fully ready for my next mediocre and yet expensive hair cut/color/highlight. HA! HA-HA! I found the chupe cabre right here in the tri-valley! I am pretty sure the heavens opened up and the angels sang. No. Really. I have been seeing Amy for over four years now for all hair, hand and piggy related needs and she is my absolute favorite beauty babe in the world. (Nope, not related to her either!) In addition to being uber talented, she is sweet as can be and as a working mom of busy boys, my time with her is a laughing good bit of girl time and I come out looking great. WIN!

Waxing, nails, hair, and color...Amy does it all and it is always done to perfection!!!…read more I consistently receive compliments on my haircut, as well as my color. I can always style my hair once I get home, which is extremely important to me, and this is made easier by Amy's guidance. Amy's manicure is one of the best. I have natural nails and I've been known to be a bit hard on them. However, with Amy's manicure the polish lasted a week before I had to do any touchups. Amy's salon environment is relaxed and private. I love the fact that you're not surrounded by a number of other people. If you're even remotely considering a switch from your current hairdresser, I strongly suggest giving Amy a chance; you won't be sorry.

If I'm not completely satisfied she wants to fix it.... but she's never had to because I've always loved it! She has a super cute and quiet salon downtown Livermore.

So, I am a bit of a hair snob. I would rather go with long, strangly split ends and a bottle dye…read morejob before I let some hack cut and dye my hair. After trying trendy stylists in the City and paying $300 for mediocre hair styles or having my hair destroyed by less expensive Pacifica alternatives, I decided to try Shine after reading the glowing reviews on Yelp. AND! Sarah is only down the street. After my first visit I knew I was in love. Sarah took the time to listen to what I wanted. She made suggestions as she saw fit and didn't reprimand me for going back to the bottle (hair dye that is). There is always this strange few moments once you get into a new stylist's chair, you know that moment that transitions from speaking politely and professionally about your hair and then forced rapport. Well there was none of that with Sarah. She was sweet, fun and professional from the get go. It was almost like we had been friends already, or at least pretty good acquaintances. I have been to see Sarah three times now and even let her dye my hair this last visit. She was conscientious about my budget and my hair came out fantastic. Weeks after having it cut I am still getting compliments. Her shop is very mod and trendy, she takes pride in what she does and is a consummate professional. Plus it doesn't hurt that I spend the 60 - 90 minutes in her care laughing the whole time. Make sure to book in advance, Sarah is popular and she is very willing to accommodate you based on your schedule (on my second visit she was closing her shop and a woman walked in needing a bang trim, Sarah stayed late to help her out - what gal). Need I say more?!

The deva cut was supposed to allow me to get back some of the curliness that disappears in the keratin treatment (which I was assured wouldn't happen). The cut I received is hands down the worst hair cut in my life. I have included a picture with my review so that you can see for yourself. Since then, two stylists have taken a look and both were mortified. It's been two months and I am still waiting for it to grow out and look semi normal. The first picture is right after I got it, and the second is two months later with the hair straightened. I would not recommend that anyone with curly hair go to Bri for a deva cut.

If you want a hair colorist who really knows her stuff, Suzette is for you! I've been to others…read morewho say they are color specialists only to be disappointed. Suzette only does color and chemical services and her focus on just that makes her a true expert. Anyone can put color specialist on their business cards. Don't be fooled by those with a good printer and no special hair color skills. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do my color. She keeps good records so you can insure your results are consistent every time. She's also very creative if you are someone who does want something different every time. Whatever you desire from hair color, Suzette can deliver. One other aspect that makes her services enticing is the fact that she keeps her schedule. I can't stand waiting around for someone who is running a little late. A little late can be up to an hour in some places! Every time I've had an appointment, I've been pleased that she is ready to see me at my scheduled time. Since she is timely, It's best to be on time for her. Most likely she will be ready and waiting to see you so breezing through the door with a fresh coffee 20 minutes after your scheduled time would not be a good idea. Great service all around in addition to her being a really nice person is all the reason to see Suzette!

I am one of those people who thinks the grass is greener elsewhere so I try different brands, etc.; but I've followed Suzette since I first went to her. I get lots of compliments on my hair and it's all Suzette and Gigi! She's Yosh-trained, so specializes in just color -- I don't think she cuts hair, but you'd have to verify that with her. She's also easy to talk to. The staff there is great (friendly and helpful) as well and the place just has a low-key, non-pretentious feel that I appreciate. I know how important hair is -- you can't really hide it and it's one of the first things people notice -- give Suzette a try and I know you'll be pleased.
