    Fresh extensions from Natalie.
    Kitana T.

    My hair feels so healthy, has continued to grow, and is blended nicely. I have very fine hair, which means it's delicate to work with. She takes her time when working with me and always leaves me feeling more confident whenever I leave her salon. The ambiance in her salon is elegant and inviting.

    I lucked out in finding Natalie! Having just moved back to the Bay Area, I was in search of someone to help me resuscitate my damaged hair after months of travel. She expertly and efficiently dry cut the damage while shaping to give me the volume I wanted and then nailed a stunning hot pink and tangerine balayage that will fade out beautifully! It was also fun to exchange info on our favorite Vietnamese foods and see the amazing transformations she's executed for other clients. I'm so happy to have met her and look forward to my next appt! Trust Natalie to step up your hair game!

    I've been seeing Natalie for the last 2 years after winning a contest at Transform Fitness Studio for a free blowout by Nat. From that first blowout, there was an instant connection. She's great at reading people and very accomodating; not to mention it's nice being the only one in her salon and having her full attention! She convinced me to dye my hair for our wedding a few years ago, and better yet, she did it in a way that was low maintenance for me. Since then, I continue to return to her for haircuts as she knows how style my wavy, thick hair. Thanks Nat!

    Natalie did a wonderful job with my hair! I love that she understood my hair and explained what she was doing. Great experience, so glad I found her! Would definitely come back.

    Natalie has been my hair stylist for 5 years now and I wouldn't change a thing! She has taken my hair from blonde, ash, grey/silver, brunette, you name it. Yes, that means she's been there for me at different stages of my life, lol. Going through a break up, need a change in your life, want to do something drastic? Natalie can do it all. She's even done extensions for me when I had my bikini competition. Everytime I come here, I feel pampered. Natalie never rushes the job and makes sure her clients are comfortable. She's always putting in the long hours and always finds a way to pencil clients in no matter how busy her schedule is (even when I'm asking for a last minute appointment). I'm glad that Natalie and I crossed paths because not only did I find a super amazing hair stylist, I also found a life long friend. You will not regret coming to Illumi salon.

    After, perfectly complimenting my emerging greys!

    SUPER responsive, knowledgeable, accomodating, sweet, efficient, what more can I say?! Natalie was the ONLY stylist who was willing and able to take me in on the same day. Not only that, she was able to take my vague description of needs and wants and use her expertise to deliver better service than I could have ever imagined. The resulting cut, color, and style were beyond expectations and honestly the best color I've ever had. 100% recommend!!

    My first appointment with Natalie was amazing and fantastic. She is the best artist I've ever met. Her hair salon is very neat and clean. I love my new hair style and color. Natalie knows what she doing. I couldn't be happier Thank you so much Natalie

    Natalie is fantastic! She did a beautiful babylight, balayage, and cut for me. I love it! Her salon is gorgeous and she was so nice to talk with. I look forward to returning again in the future!

    Always drop my girl off here and she loves it so much. She always comes home expressing how much she appreciates Natalie for taking care of her hair for years now!

    I've been going to Dry Bar for years & was SUPER sad/shocked when I found out they closed down the…read moreSantana Row location - as a result, I had to find another nearby blow dry hair bar (last minute) to get my hair done for my anniversary dinner. I know how thin & stubborn my hair can be & am almost certain no stylist can ever blow dry any curls in my hair without tools...but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and made an appointment anyway because it was a last minute decision. I walked in a bit early so another stylist took a stab at my hair (and spent about 10-15 minutes working on it) before my assigned stylist took over - after about 10-15 minutes, she asked me if it's OK to use a curling iron...of course I said "yes" knowing it was gonna end up that way...her manager also approved using it without charging me extra because she also saw how much trouble both stylists had with my hair... I'm glad I at least gave them a try so I know they can't meet the needs of my hair (without paying extra for curling iron)!

    I don't think I will come back, even though the location is so convenient for me. I arrived at…read more8:56am to a 9:00am appointment, and the receptionist greets me with "you're early to your appointment, take a seat and your stylist will arrive soon". I mentioned I had to leave by 10am and didn't want to have my service rushed. At 9:07am my stylist comes out from behind a curtain in the back and proceeds to wash my hair. The wash wasn't thorough, there was no scalp massage or anything, it was just a quick, superficial (top layer of hair) wash with extra-long nails that felt so weird on my scalp (the extra long nails). I feel like I will need to wash my hair again very soon so that my scalp is actually clean (which defeats the purpose of a professional blow out that you'd like to last for a few days). Then the blowout itself was a quick 25 minute blowout (I have a lot of hair and long) that looks nice, but doesn't look special or professional. I was glad I brought my own brush because the one that was there looked like it had seen better days. What is the point of going to a salon that specializes in blowouts then? The vibe of all the staff members I saw this morning was unwelcoming, like they were unhappy to work there.

THANK YOU, Stacie!

    Summary: I am so lucky that my mother found Stacie for my wedding!…read more Here is why: 1) Technically, Stacie did an AMAZING job! My make-up, and the make-up of my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law looked absolutely perfect: everyone looked beautiful and special without being too 'done up' and 'wedding-y.' She has true vision: she was able to take what we asked for and make it even better than we could have imagined. The hairstylist she brought with her (Jo) was also perfect! 2) The make-up and hair looked good ALL NIGHT!! I even looked good at the hotel bar AFTER the wedding! 3) Stacie was able to adapt to changing circumstances. Technical skills are great, but if you can't get the job done in time, it is for naught. Stacie and Jo arrived at the hotel over 30 minutes early (because they know how important the big day is, and they didn't want to be late if they got lost) and they got started right away. Timing wise, they had planned everything perfectly. However, there were some bumps in the road from my wedding party on the big day: one person who had adamantly said that she did not want make-up decided that she did indeed want make-up, and then numerous people showed up with wet hair. Not only did they STILL manage to get everyone done on time, both Stacie and Jo were such good sports about the whole thing. 4) The pricing was extremely fair: if anything, it was a bit of a steal given how great of a job they did and how wonderful they were to work with. 5) Stacie (and Jo) are just lovely women. Before meeting them, I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of having to do a trial hair and make-up run, but I actually had SO MUCH FUN with them!! And having them around when we were getting ready for the wedding just made everything better: they were just lots of fun and put everyone at ease. EVERYONE in the bridal party commented about how much they loved Stacie and Jo. I have had my hair and make-up done before, but I have never had such a good experience. Not only did my hair and make-up look better than they ever had before, but I had so much fun with the process because Stacie and Jo are so great! Book Stacie: you won't regret it!!

I was looking not only for high quality hair pieces, but also kindness, honesty, and good customer service during a very vulnerable time. I contacted several businesses and unfortunately found some experiences disappointing. A few places were extremely expensive, while others felt somewhat judgmental or dismissive before even seeing me in person. Some were quick to assume I may not even be a topper candidate without offering a proper consultation, which was honestly upsetting during an already emotional process. Then I found Munjal, and the experience was completely different from the beginning. She was easy to book with, offered a free consultation, and immediately made me feel comfortable and encouraged. She carefully assessed my hair and scalp coverage in person and reassured me that I was a good candidate for a silk-base topper. I truly could not be happier with the result. We tried the topper on during the consultation and I purchased it on the spot because it looked so natural and gave me back a sense of confidence I had really been missing. I recently went back for the fitting appointment, where she customized everything beautifully -- framing my face with a cut and trim, and even offering complimentary highlighting and styling/curling of the topper. The final result blended so naturally with my existing hair that it is practically unnoticeable. Beyond the quality of her work, Munjal herself is incredibly sweet, calm, patient, and understanding. She has such a gentle and reassuring energy, which honestly means so much when you are navigating hair loss from cancer treatment. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a topper or hair loss support experience that feels compassionate, professional, and personalized.

Had I not called them inquiring where my stylist was, they wouldn't have even been aware of my appointment. Fortunately, after my third attempt calling them someone picked up and they were able to schedule Cindy to complete my appointment. I was very happy with Cindy's work and so glad it worked out. It was a relatively low-importance event so I was not stressed out about the time crunch, but if it had been a wedding or special event, this would have been unacceptable. They did not offer a partial refund, a discount on a future service, or anything to make it right. The price was $290 for hair and makeup. Overall I would hire them again, but I would confirm the appointment a week before and a day before the event.
