Stacia just keeps getting better and better! I took both my teenage daughters in, 15 and 17. One has hair down to her bottom and had a good 6 inches trimmed off. She was really happy with cut. She has soooo much hair that it was a challenge and Stacia did an amazing job. The other daughter went in again to Stacia for a blonder look and she was really happy with the results. She also had a steam infusion which is really affordable and locks into the ends to prevent split ends...especially in color treated hair. Thank you Stacia! We keep coming back. read more

The worst! !!! I just took my son 8yrs old because he cut his hair himself (not unusual in kids) and the lady there ( I don't even remember her name) straight hair, light blond who had 2 little daughters she was super nice receiving us and saying "I'm going to fix it" well I don't really know what kind of training she had but she spent a lot of time and my son ended up with more layers than the beginning !!, Plus she cut my son's ear with the electric tool!!!! On top of that she was kind of strong when she talked to my son asking him to move his head here and there I tried to keep calm and thought well it might be her personality but I got so upset when she cut my son's ear I had to stop her because she was still saying "oh is so good, nothing happened and I'm done", I told her that was not good and yes something has happened! I just asked her to stop and how much I owe her she said "$25 because Idon't do cheap cuts! !!! !... I told her I will pay you 20$ and I got a better service for less I really shouldn't pay you for this. This woman really lacks of professionalism! I have some pics of my son's haircut I don't know if I can upload them but if I can I will gladly show you the awful job this person did. Ughhh read more

See all

I just came back from a 30 minute lunch massage which was just enough to get out all my shoulder tension! Like I mentioned in my previous review, Ramona is not pushy for follow up appointments which left me begging for her to pencil me in. I'm in love! read more

I got a haircut there last Tuesday (maybe 2 weeks ago, I forgot) and I am in love with it. I brought in a couple of magazine tear-outs to help the stylist create the look I was going for. She nailed it dead on. I love the cut. My hair is manageable and easy to style and I feel great about it. Thanks Nina! read more

I made an appointment for prom last year, and they seemed to be pretty efficient when it comes to setting the appointment up. I arrived at the place; it looked nice and I assumed the service there would be just as good too. Perhaps it was because I was only a teenager that they didn't show me any respect, but the make-up job and hair-styling was TERRIBLE. I wear make-up at school, so I already had foundation on. However, I expected that if I was paying $40 for make-up, they'd touch-up my foundation at least. The lady spent about 5 minutes on my makeup; she didn't even take off my smeared black eyeliner that had worn off during the school! She added hot pink eye shadow on top of my messed-up eyeliner, and wow did I look terrible. Who would pay $40 to get pink eyeshadow put on? Besides, the lady's make-up kit was very minimal. Nothing unlike the previous make-up studios I've been too. She had a teeny little case with a couple colors. As for the hair, the lady was nice enough but she wouldn't listen to my request (I finally summed up the courage to speak up). My hair looked like a puffball by the end, and I had to rush home before prom in order to straighten my hair and undone everything. read more

I'll start with I'm not a big salon fan especially pretentious San Jose salons. I went to innovators because there wasn't that vibe but I was disappointed in other ways. I had good haircuts but when my stylist raised his rates 35% with no notice I thought it was unprofessional. Then I asked the manager and she said its up to him. Hmmm, someone just lost a customer. Rates go up, I'm fine with that but they don't go up 35% with no warning. How about, "hey sorry dude, next haircut my rates are going up, they're kinda steep but that's what I have to do"? Not, "surprise, you owe me 35% more than you have paid the last 3 times." I even called to get clarification on what happened and no call back! Business must be good if you can afford to loose business and risk bad reviews. I don't name names but there aren't that many male stylists. read more

I was referred to Irene from a friend at work. I made my first appointment for after work. When I got there she saw how much hair I had and realized she needed much more time than she had allotted....my fault! Ive a whole lot of hair! So she spent 1 hour and I must say it was a great cut!! We made an additional appointment for 2 weeks later to finish up the layers and texturizing. Well...I went in today and she spent 3 hours on my hair!! The woman is an artist!! I have found my new stylist!!! I would recommend her highly!! Thanks a ton Irene!!!! read more

I love Innovators! My hairstylist (from another salon) referred me to Kellene to do my regular eyebrow waxing. It actually does not hurt. I didn't think this was possible, but apparently it is. Sometimes there's a little sting when she waxes below the brow, but above the brow, there is literally no pain. Plus, the ambience is very relaxing; you lie on a comfy table and listen to a water fountain or soft music while Kellene rubs scented oils on your brow. I've also visited the nail salon there, run by Sandy and Jim. Their pedicures are expensive ($45-$55) but they include a 30-minute foot and calf massage and the color stays on forever. read more

First of all, I had an appointment the week before with JENA, and I could not make it do to work and I actually called a day ahead of time because I couldn't make it. Therefore, they re-schedule me for Tuesday and I told them this was perfect. Then they called me on Friday to confirm and I said I will be there. Then on Tuesday (The day of my appointment) they called me again to confirm and I said yes I will be there. Then Jena calls again and says to come earlier because she didn't have any clients for that. So I told her I will be there earlier. ONE HOUR before the appointment Liz the receptionist calls again and says that Jena can't make it because a confusion in her appointment. I had to work that day I had to cancel appointments at work to be able to make to the hair appointment and then they called me an hour before to CANCEL. Not only that when I got upset about the waste of time JENA started talking over me and made the situation worst, she didn't try to make the situation better. Very upsetting: 1) They called me like five times to confirm, not once they said about the confusion or tried cancelling. 2) They cancelled ONE HOUR before my appointment, which they could've let me know ahead of time. 3) Very disorganized, I wouldn't trust a place with this type of disorganization. 4) They didn't try to make things better, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS. read more

I got the most beautiful crimson highlights from Stacia. Always love coming here, it feels like you're inside a jewelry box from Tiffany's.

I needed a new hairdresser so I came to Irene at the recommendation of a friend. She was not wrong to recommend her! Irene did a fantastic job cutting my scraggly hair and for the first time in years I am loving my chaotic curls again. Thank you Irene, you will have my business from now on! read more

I love this salon! Welcoming, spacious, clean, private stations. A great place to have your hair done. I've been going to Stacia for years, she's the best- color and cut on point. read more

I've been going to Jenna for six months and I can't find enough good things to say about her- my hair has never looked better and I get compliments all the time. She has such a good grasp on color, texture and style and she really listens to what you want. She's also certified to do Brazilian Blowout- she did mine and I love it. read more

Wow, where can I start? This is overall the best experience I have ever had at a salon. It started with meeting Myles, a very friendly and professional young man. He took the time over coffee to get to know me and really listened to what I wanted to accomplish with my color and cut. After our consultation Myles very efficiently got down to work while often checking about my comfort and double checking my satisfaction along the way. He really went out of his way to keep me involved in the process while at the same time using his own creativity and skill to really nail the whole experience. When it was all said and done, I was the happiest I had been at a salon in 20 years of going to them. Myles has a long career ahead of him and I wouldn't be surprised to see him open his own spot someday. Thank Myles, I'll be back! read more

I've followed Stacia from another salon. She is amazing. Not only can she do a fabulous cut, she can do all kinds of cool color combos and styles. She is fun and hilarious. She's great with ladies of all ages. I highly recommend her! read more

Stacia did a fabulous job on my cut and color. I'll be going back to see again for sure. She is good people and great hairstylist.

I had my hair appointment today, with stylist Stephanie S and with aesthetician Kellene A. I moved to San Jose from East Bay and was looking for good salon, and Innovators was a pleasant experience. Stephanie was very friendly, warm, and helpful trying to get a new hair style for me. I liked her suggestion, however, I decided to go conservative, since my family is coming to visit next week. And I was amazed with Kellene, who did waxing (eye brow and Brazilian). Let me just say, that was one of the most painless experience for me (Brazilian). I'll definitely go back to Kellene (she's moving to another place in a month or so to downtown Campbell). Great experience overall! read more

I only come to Innovators for waxes and facials. I always go to see Kellene. I pay $45 for a fruit enzyme peel, which is way cheaper than the normal $100 facials other salons offer. She spends extra time making custom mixtures for my facials, and even will do extractions (NOT with a razor, which is illegal and PAINFUL!) and offers samples from the Dermalogica line (my fave). Her room in the back of the salon is super relaxing and peaceful, with dimmed lights and soft music. My face always looks glowing when I am done. I have acne-prone skin, and her fruit enzyme peel really knocked out the acne. I don't think I have had any breakouts after seeing her, once every six weeks for a year or so. She has also done some waxing for me, and she is very efficient and careful to get all the hair, plus it is comfortable and almost painless. read more

I called last minute to see if they had any openings for a color and cut. After just having a baby I really needed some quality "me" time to pamper myself and make myself feel beautiful and like myself again (anyone that's had a baby knows it takes a little bit to feel beautiful and normal again, considering everythings changed). Well the receptionist fit me in at the end of the day with Liz. She is young and really nice. The conversation flowed well and she did an awesome job on my hair. I've never had a go-to hair stylist before, but I've found one with Liz. Thanks :) read more

Esthetician- excellent, Mandi. This is coming from an Esthetician who is well schooled and experienced in the trade, so you could say I'm pretty hard to please and a serious skin snob. Focus attention to skin, good massage, and great products. good results.( no i don't work there, but an Esthetician needs facials too as a massage on yourself doesn't really relax you). Hair- Superb, excellent -Nina- how does 3 generations of women say for you? Super sassy Panamanian Lady with a capital L. She is amazing and she is not dated- always on the up and up on styles and color. I have gone to some of the best, Antionio Piaz, Mikeal at Nimbus, Milan at Faux (all very good btw), but my favorite is Nina. Anytime I think I can possible try someone else....I cant. She is a standout, for sure the best. I am a cool "hipster" I guess, but she does boring if thats what you want to.....however, if you let her do "her thang" she will make you a new sexier version of you. I love Nina. Be prepared to love her. read more

Thank you LIz ! You are amazing . My daughter Christian is sooo happy with her cut. We will see you in a month!

I get a Brazilian blowout from Stacia every few months and it's the best money I've ever spent!!!!! Stacia makes my hair feel so healthy as I have natural frizzy hair and it's so easy to do in the morning! She is so caring about her clients and always remembers exactly how I like my hair. I had been going to my hair girl for years but she moved out of state so it was hard to find someone else I really loved. Thank you Stacia for giving me healthy hair :) read more

I have kinky curly hair and there's only been a few people that I've trusted with my hair. And Laura is one of them. She's great with color too. If you want something different and funky she's definitely the girl to go to. Every where I go, people will compliment my hair. Young and old. I've never had purple hair and didn't think I could rock it. But thanks to Laura I can. read more

I LOVE INNOVATORS. Granted I only go for waxing, but I LOVE IT! Kellene is an AMAZING esthetician. I have been getting my eyebrows done from her now for about 2 years now. I went to a few other places before her and none of them compare! It is virtually pain free. Her room is very relaxing. She makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend her! read more

I've gone to get massages from Jen for over a year now. She is super positive, a great listener, and gives fabulous massages. Her studio is perfectly decorated to be maximally relaxing. She really knows her stuff and I learn something about my body every session. I'd highly recommend her! Innovators itself is very clean and comfortable with friendly reception. I'm thinking about getting my hair cut there too! read more

recently had my first facial with Mandi. she was great! she had awesome attention to detail and really focused on the needs of my skin. her room in the back is quiet and tranquil. definitely the spa feel. the massage she gave me was unbelievable! already scheduled my next appointment. i highly recommend mandi!! read more

I've been coming here for almost 10 years now. At first I had a couple of different stylists whom I do not remember their names, but then one time Jenna did my hair. I'm a guy, I'm picky, but she was really nice. She did a great job, and is super friendly. Since then she's my permanent stylist! Even though mine is a quick cut she takes her time, gets me the correct product and I enjoy our conversations. I highly recommend her!!! read more

I have been going to innovators now for 2 years. Stephanie has been dying/cutting my hair and I absolutely love her. She is very easy to talk to, does exactly what I ask her to do, and will also gently let me know if that would be the right cut and color or not for my face. I really value her opinion and expertise! I am ALWAYS a happy woman when I leave! Also, she fits me in at the last minute if she is free- which I greatly appreciate! I have also had a wax done here and they are very gentle and I was very happy with the job they did! read more

IIrene Jonach at Innovators. have been going to hair sylist Irene Jonach at Innovators for over 10 years and I HIGHLY recommend her services. Irene has always done an excellent job of cutting, coloring and styling my hair- I always come out of the salon feeling fabulous. In addition, she has a warm, caring attitude with her clients and really listens. As a career coach, I've also sent a number of my clients who need an updated look for their job search and they have been very pleased with the results. Pat C, read more

This place is great. I recommend it highly. The receptionists are always very nice and treat you well.

I absolutely love this place! The staff is very nice and welcoming. I got my eyebrows waxed by Debby. OMG, she is amazing. I was very pleased with how she did them and also explained to me what she was doing and made sure I was satisfied with them. Along with her great service, she's so fun to talk to during your appointment with her! I definitely recommend her. read more

This review is for Stacia, but I have to say every time I've been in there the front desk workers and every hair stylist has always been so friendly! The salon itself is very nice and they always have goodies up at the front! I followed Stacia from another hair salon to this one and have been with her for about 2 years now. She's absolutely amazing! I am a very indecisive person and am constantly changing my mind but she handles me well and i always come out with great looking hair! She's done everything on me from making me very blonde (I naturally have dark brown hair), to layers and short haircuts. I trust her and she is very good at what she does! Not to mention she's very easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable throughout the process! Thank you Stacia for everything you've done, you're amazing! read more

The staff here are very friendly! I have been going to Stacia Molinari at Innovators for just under a year! She is great. She really listens to what you want and gets it done! Call Stacia for an appointment 408-772-2931 read more

I had a consultation, then a cut and color from Stacia. I couldn't be happier. I am a difficult hair customer, I know it. Not nightmarish, but I'm caught between a few style boudaries? I had decided to let my gray streak come in. (not because I'm accepting my age gracefully) In the past year I've literally had 12 different variations of hair color combinations. From tri-color layers, to vivids. All because I couldn't make up my mind. I shared my insecurities with Stacia.. hard to do especially with a new hairdresser. She handled it! Honoring my age, my look, the condition of my hair. I couldn't be happier, well, actually, I could be, if I'd started seeing her sooner! See you in 6 weeks Stacia. read more

Great salon, plenty of experienced stylists but I always book with Jennifer. Definitely the best, friendly and always does a perfect job.

I decided to give this place a try based on yelp reviews. I came in on a Tuesday to get my hair colored the receptionist was very nice and friendly, the stylist that helped was also very nice and friendly. the reason why I am giving this salon 2 star rating is because I felt like the stylist that helped me Jenna wasn't very experienced, she repeatedly asked others for their opinion. But what bothered me the most is that I called 2 days later to let them know that the color hadn't turned out the way I wanted it, the receptionist assured me that Jenna would be giving me a call to reschedule and she never did. Finally a week later after not receiving a call at all I decided to stop by the salon I talked to the owner who apparently had no idea there was an issue. I finally got my appointment and got it fixed and my hair looks fine now. I just feel like if I'm paying over $300 for a hair service it should be perfect as well as the customer service. If Jenna was busy and wasn't able to get to me the salon should have called and let me know. And like I said the staff was friendly and the salon is very nice, it just wasn't the customer service I expected. read more

Lora Hickman is an outstanding hair stylist. She is professional and personable. Her service is always excellent. Lora is caring and appreciative of her customers. Her station is always immaculate. She cares about the beauty of your hairstyle as well as the health of your hair. She listens to her customers' concerns, but will give input and suggestions when requested. She is a specialist in color as well as cut. My husband and I have been clients of Lora's for years, and we both recommend her highly. read more

I haven't had my hair cut here. All of my appointments have been with Qali, the esthetician. Good facials, and great skincare advice. She also makes waxing, well.. not so bad. read more

Lauryn is a Goddess with a blow-dryer, scissors, and highlighting tools. I have a bounce to my step after receiving her services and I feel like a better version of myself. She is consistent, friendly, and talented beyond description and I highly recommend her. read more

My aunt has been going to stacia for awhile now and my aunts blonde hair is perfection, so while I was visiting in San Jose Stacia did my hair and did an AMAZING job. She did a partial highlight and then purple underneath and did wonderful on my trim up. I wish I could put her in my pocket and take her back home with me to San Diego so she can continue to do my hair! HIGHLY recommend her, she's the sweetest and is great with hair! read more
