I've been a client of Kien's for years (a true GOAT), and one of the best parts has been watching his incredibly talented assistants grow into stylists in their own right under his thoughtful mentorship. For the past two years, I've been seeing Plamena, and it's been such a wonderful experience. I just received another impeccable haircut today. Her attention to detail and refined technique are truly exceptional. She has an incredible ability to work with my fine, thick hair, creating beautiful movement and shape that I didn't even realize it was capable of. Beyond her talent, Plamena makes every appointment enjoyable. I always feel well cared for, listened to, and completely at ease in her chair. I leave every visit feeling confident, refreshed, and grateful to have found such a skilled stylist. I can't recommend her enough. read more

Thank you Cynthia came in feeling one way and left feeling like a completely different person in the best possible way. My hair color turned out beyond perfect it gave me confidence, good energy, and made me feel so refreshed and beautiful. Thank you for making the whole experience so enjoyable and fun. Your talent and creativity truly stand out, and you have such a special way of bringing out the best in people. You're honestly one of a kind, and I appreciate you so much for making me feel this amazing. read more

Khoi is the best hairstylist I've ever had. I was worried my hair would end up frizzy or unmanageable after the cut, but Khoi did a fantastic job. I don't even have to do anything other than apply some hair product and blow dry it after washing. I'm happy to recommend him to everyone. Thanks Khoi! read more

What an excellent hair salon!! My reviews are usually places that I enjoying eating. So I thought I'd expand my horizons. It's was easy To make an appointment and the staff is extremely helpful and professional. My stylist name is Jacob and he's talented, efficient, and friendly. In fact Jacob is the stylist for my wife, my son and his family as well as my daughter and her family. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends.

If you manage to snag an appointment with Ivo at Umbrella Salon, don't think twice--just book it. I went in for a trim while growing my hair out and wasn't sure how to handle that awkward phase. Ivo took the time to listen and gave me advice that actually made sense for my hair's growth, not just a quick cut. He broke down what to expect as my hair grows and how to care for it, all without rushing me or overwhelming me with info. The conversation felt natural, the energy was great, and it was clear he really knows his stuff. The salon itself has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and Ivo makes you feel completely at ease in the chair. Super skilled, respectful, and you walk out confident your hair is in the right hands. Highly recommend him if you want a cut that actually works for you. read more

Giving zero stars for destroying my hair and not caring. I have been going here to see Bill for two years now. I showed him a picture of the color I wanted and after sitting in his chair for five hours I left with maroon hair. Not at all what I asked for nor what he said he could do. I left with maroon hair! I asked for a refund and he refused and so did the salon. I had to get my money back from Amex. Once they saw the pictures there was no question and Amex fully refunded me. The salon says they are all independent contractors which they don't tell you up front. Yet you pay at the salon desk and on your cc statement it says IVO salon. To be independent contractors you need to pay the stylist not the company desk. In either case neither the owner or Bill the stylist would make it correct and do the right thing. The owner wouldn't even return a phone call. So beware. I have never posted reviews of a business. But the way I was treated and the color of my hair left me no choice. read more

Fantastic salon. So good that I drive there for every haircut even though I live way up in Truckee.

I've been seeing Jacob for over a decade now. He's the only one I trust with my hair. I've recently moved to LA and refuse to see anyone else - he is a magician worth booking a flight for! If you have thick, coarse, curly hair he's your guy. I've struggled my whole life to find someone who can give me a proper haircut and blowout, so thankful for Jacob and his expertise! I always get so many compliments on my hair and have referred so many of my girls to him! He's even been so gracious to even give me tutorials and walk me through the process on how I can achieve and recreate his looks at home. I could go on and on but one story short he's the best! Don't snooze. read more

I have two issues with Ivo x Umbrella salon that made me question their practices and integrity as a business. The first issue was when I went in for a gloss treatment; the treatment overall turned out great, and I appreciated how the stylist listened to what I wanted and gave suggestions during the consultation portion of the appointment. However, when it came time to pay, the price that the stylist stated was not what was listed on the booking page. I wish there was more transparency in pricing on their page for services that are "à la carte" versus when you combine services for appointments. The next huge issue was when I came back almost two weeks later for a Brazilian Blowout. At this point in time, I was aware that the use of the OG Brazilian blowout formula was banned in California, so walking into the appointment, I expected the stylist to use the new Brazilian blowout formula sans formaldehyde. Not the case. He instead price gouged me by saying that the price listed on the website (I believe it was around 350) was for the OG treatment, but if I wanted the new formula, it would cost around 475. I was overwhelmed and shocked by the price difference that I ultimately chose to move forward with the OG formula. The entire appointment, I felt uneasy and tried to make light of the situation, but when I could see my stylist whispering and giggling with other stylists RIGHT BEHIND ME about how they got me to use the OG formula, it felt extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. At the end of the day, I paid for my services and left. To top this experience off, my hair went back to its frizzy texture within three weeks, which makes me believe that I was duped again and was given the Brazilian Blowout Express treatment . For context, a Brazilian blowout should last approximately 2-3 months. Overall, I was left feeling disheartened with my experience at Ivo x Umbrella salon. read more

Ivo is great. I'm always pleased with my highlights. The way Ivo does my hair, it grows for months still looking fresh and good! Thank you for taking such a good care of me. Everyone is always so friendly at the salon. read more

Ivo is an amazing hairstylist whom I trust completely. My hair is curly and extremely difficult to manage, but his skill and precision make every cut look beautiful--especially when I prefer it short. I regularly receive compliments on my haircut, even from people I don't know. He always recommends what's truly in my best interest and never prioritizes his own short-term benefit. His personality is also wonderful--kind, thoughtful, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Ivo and his exceptional talent. read more

Ivo Salon and all of the talented stylists are so professional. Remarkable, elevated experience. Every visit is a fabulous experience. read more

I followed Cynthia to Ivo from another salon and would probably follow her to another state. Hers are without doubt my favorite haircuts ever. It's the precision, the attention to small details, and the clean, flowy lines her scissors impart. Her blowouts and styling also win! read more

If I could leave zero stars, I would. What a horrible experience. I called Umbrella Salon/IVO salon for a root touch up, super friendly staff. Previously, I have had amazing experiences at this salon. Phat was my stylist. Charged me $200 for a basic root touch up, depositing color on roots, nothing fancy. Tried to upsell me, haircut $250 and some other random things. Then left my hair a mess. This is not my expectation from a high end salon like this OR when I'm paying $200 for a root touch up. Pic from parking lot immediately after. If you're going to come to this salon, book with Christian he'd never let you leave his chair with this mess. read more

Ivo X Umbrella Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Campbell, California

This review is overdue as I've been going to Jacob for almost 8 years now; followed him from Bedlam to Umbrella and now Ivo. For context, my hair is waist length, coarse, unruly, and thick. Yes, it's a hot mess but that did not scare Jacob away! Before coming to Jacob, it would take other stylists 6-8 hours to finish my highlights and I thought that was the norm. Come to find out, Jacob can do highlights, a Brazilian blow out and a haircut all under 4. Mind blown! From then on, I have never let anyone else touch my hair. The fostered trust was built around his consistent results, his valued open/honest opinions and how safe I felt in every single decision made without the added judgment or snarky comment. You see, I am a busy working mom of 2 so it is challenging at times to prioritize "me" time as there's always something that takes precedence. I also don't have time to research what is trending or what would look good on me. I highly depend on Jacob's expertise and with confidence, just let him do his thing. I sit and relax without having to think or verbalize what I want. This is the kind of therapeutic down time I need but still can multi-task and respond to work emails. Despite my crazy schedule, I make it a point to see Jacob every 4-5 weeks for root touch ups with haircuts every 3 months, for a Brazilian blow out every 6 months and highlights every year. I know that may sound excessive but I am over 40 so my grays grow back quickly and I am not yet ready to sport the "grombre" or the "salt & pepper" look. Call me vain but I just love the way I look and feel after leaving Jacob's chair esp on days when I am running low on fumes. My husband also appreciates that I come home refreshed and in a good mood after every appointment. So if you can relate and is looking for a stylist who is efficient, an expert at his craft and delivers consistent results, stop scrolling and book an appointment with Jacob! I love him and you will too! read more

Love the location of the salon. It's very classy. My stylist Anna is amazing!! I always get compliments on my hair!

DO NOT book with Jacob--worst stylist ever! This was the most terrible salon experience of my life. Jacob was incredibly rude, unprofessional, and completely unwilling to do his job. He lacks both skill and basic customer service, and on top of that, he showed clear discrimination. I waited 10 days for this appointment, traveled an hour by bus, and walked 20 minutes in heavy rain and wind--only to be turned away for no reason. Given how expensive this salon is (the highest prices I found on Yelp), I expected professionalism and at least a decent haircut. Instead, Jacob refused to cut my hair from the moment I walked in. He looked annoyed, never smiled, and made it clear through his words, attitude, and expressions that he did not want to cut my hair--simply because he disliked me (I strongly felt it was because I'm Chinese). I asked for a shoulder-length cut and told him I was open to his professional input. In the past, when I brought photos, some styles didn't suit me, so this time I wanted his expertise. Instead of helping, he stubbornly demanded pictures. When I showed him real images--screenshots from hairstylists' videos and movies--he dismissed them, falsely claiming they were AI-generated. He insisted that layered haircuts wouldn't look good, even though I had gotten them before and knew they suited me. When I asked if he could design something flattering, he flat-out refused. He argued against everything I said, made no effort to understand what I wanted, and simply kept repeating that he didn't want to cut my hair and that I should leave. Let's be clear: I wasn't asking for anything complicated, just a basic shoulder-length cut with layers--something every competent stylist should know how to do. Other stylists have cut beautiful layers for me before, and my straight hair has always looked great without any special styling. Yet Jacob, either due to lack of skill or sheer laziness, acted as if layers were some impossible request. His excuse? That a haircut "must be styled at home" and that he "can't cut anything that looks good" without extra effort. That is simply absurd. A skilled stylist can give a great cut that looks good even after washing. Jacob clearly lacks the ability and instead blames the client. From start to finish, he repeatedly said he didn't "feel comfortable" cutting my hair and wanted me to leave. Their loud music made it difficult to have a conversation with him, but I still repeatedly tried to communicate with him, he firmly stated that he would not cut my hair and ordered me to leave. He even shouted at me to stop talking! And he didn't want to have a conversation, didn't want to put in any effort, and clearly didn't care about providing a decent service. If that's the case, why should anyone pay $140 for this kind of treatment? To make things even worse, when I left, the two front desk staff whispered, "She's weird," further mocking and humiliating me. Instead of feeling guilty for wasting my time and treating me so badly, they doubled down on their disrespect. This salon clearly believes they are above their customers--that people should beg them for a haircut. In reality, they have no skill, no professionalism, and no basic human decency. Nothing about this place is worth the outrageous prices. I will never return, and I urge everyone to avoid this awful salon. If you value your time, money, and dignity, stay far away! read more

This is a review for Phat. He is a skillful stylist, he been cutting my hair several times time but this time- FANTASTIC! I sense that he always put 150% effort to every step that he does during the service, which worth the money we all pay for, right? I'm speaking equally understanding that the price range can be a little barrier for certain clientele, yet i feel its worthy- at least for my experience. I recommend you to give it a shot when it comes to changing your hair style- that way you probably will have better well taken care experience, instead of a trim..hope that helps. - plus the SALON atmosphere is read more

I absolutely love my haircut! I've been going to IVO Salon since they opened, and all their stylists are great. Recently, I've been seeing Sarah and she is fabulous! On my recent visit, I asked for her suggestion on how to spice up my haircut and she suggested bangs. I said go for it, and man, I wish I had asked for this sooner: her cut totally transformed my look: I friggin' love it!! I highly suggest going to IVO salon and seeing Sarah. My best friend now goes here and she absolutely loves her, too! -Arlene Arlene read more

Laura took me from brown (box dye) hair to bright blonde in two sessions. My hair still feels and looks healthy. I've never received so many compliments on my hair. She is fantastic! She's incredibly friendly, and professional at the same time. Each time I go, it's like stopping by a friends house to hang out. Love how the salon is taking COVID seriously. Temperature checks at the door, stations are well spaced, washroom is large and never has more than two clients in there. Can't wait to go back next month! read more

I was very disappointed in the haircut I got from Bill. I walked in with thick curly hair and ask for a trim and shape. I also emphasize that I wanted to maintain my curls. I walked out with the sides extremely short (brush cut) and the rest of my hair was thinned so there was no curl left. I kept asking to leave the curl and was told that the technique he was using would inhance the curl. THE WORST CUT I HAVE EVER HAD! read more

Ivo: one word and nuff said people! I've been in search for him... we'll all my life... cuz he gave my new hair cut just that! Ok here are the deets: high-end feel without the pretentiousness, you are greeted by gorgeous esthetics, you feel luxury the moment you walk in, you check in at the convenient kiosk, are greeted by the kindest receptionist, that escorts you to the lounge area while you wait, are offered refreshments and just sitting there is so calming. Once your turn you're greeted by your amazing stylist (which I'm sure they all are but I was referred to Ivo) and taken to your chair where it all begins. He listened to my wants, he knew how to style curly hair, and understood I wanted a cut I can manage by myself daily...he delivered and too he was a great conversationist and professional. He talked product without upselling and explained why he chose it on my hair! They are worth every single penny and why wouldn't we deserve a little piece of fashion week New York mastery on ourselves? We spend more on the daily at Starbux why not on our hair? If you're the haircuts -you -can -get anywhere person then go else where... but if you want to self care and look and feel amazing this is the place! Parking and local are extremely convenient! Please support local, treat and pamper yourself and experience this beautiful hidden gem! read more

Beautiful salon! Loved the aesthetic. Everyone was so friendly and their Oribe selection of products was huge! My stylist was Sarah Morgan, I've followed her from a couple different salons now. I think she's been coloring and styling my hair for something like 10 years now. I won't let anyone else touch my hair! I highly recommend booking her. She knows her craft. At this point I pretty much show up and tell her do whatever you want and it's always fantastic and complements my face shape. I'm never disappointed. I'll include some photos in my review of hair she has done for me. Seriously, book her! ‍ read more

Kien is truly an artist and I trust him completely every time I see him, for impeccable and artistic cut and color that always meets my single request: "make me look beautiful!" Having learned long ago that you get what you pay for and that I am no artist of cosmetology or physical presentation, I can safely say that finding a hair artist that you trust is worth every cent, every time. Kien takes my skin tone and undertones, face shape, eye color, and lifestyle and personal habits into account to masterfully succeed at making me look and feel beautiful every single time. Last tip: Kien travels regularly for fashion shows and shoots, so book early and regularly. read more

I've been coming to see Ivo for about 3 years. As a blonde, it's really hard to trust someone with color. I've had a bit of a haircut since this picture was taken ... have received so many compliments with it ... I cannot express my appreciation for Ivo. He is honestly a master at color and very much so with cut! I recommend Ivo to anyone who lives in the Bay Area. read more

Booked an appt last min online and they were very accommodating. Ambience is very relaxing and chic. Smells great in there too, prob from their delicious smelling products. Sophiee is a very friendly and courteous hair dresser! I enjoyed talking with her and also she did a fabulous job on my hair. I felt like I got what I requested and more! Thank you Sophiee for giving your 200% especially during a pandemic. I liked how their system was very hygienic and they did temperature checks and sanitized work stations in between clients. My hair is perfect for my bday and I feel lovely! read more

AMAZING. I have never been more happy with a haircut in my life. I have been wanting a shag cut to bring out my curls for a while and even asked a previous stylist for this haircut, but hadn't gotten the courage to commit to curly bangs. Ivo knocked it out of the park, I am 100% a happy (and returning) customer, I'm already looking forward to my next appointment. Not only do I love my haircut, but the experience itself was magical. I spent such a lovely day with Ivo, chatting, laughing, and enjoying a mimosa. By the end of my appointment, I felt like Ivo was a long lost friend. We already have some primo inside joke material! read more

My stylist recently moved to Ivo Salon and of course he (Phat) is 5 stars and I will follow him anywhere BUT I wanted to leave a review of my impression of Ivo Salon. You can tell as soon as you walk in that the stylists are the real deal here- they have just a way of carrying themselves and a level of professionalism and expertise that you really don't see anywhere else. The design inside is very simple- yes they have products, but the products aren't the bread and butter- it's the techniques and craftsmanship of the hair artists here. It's cool to see the mutual respect amongst the stylists- seems like a great culture has been created to encourage each other to do more with less- love this place already! read more

Absolutely LOVE my hair!!! At another salon, I walked away with a botched balayage earlier this month... I thought I would "learn to love it." Thankfully I reached out to Ivo Salon! (thanks Yelp) Laura did a truly amazing job cooling my super brassy hair and even gave me a cute little trim. She was meticulous with her work and nice to talk to! As for the salon itself, it is beautifully lit - with huge windows and high ceilings. Ivo was welcoming and so sweet for remembering that I contacted him about my hair woes. The hazelnut coffee was also - a nice bonus. Don't hesitate to make an appointment at Ivo! Worth every penny read more

My mom, sister, and I have been going to Ivo's for a few years now, after recommendations from our family friends. Long story short, we will not go to any other hairdresser again. Not only is Ivo exceptionally talented, he is also one of the most kind-hearted people I have met. Ivo's salon truly feels like the intersection of professional excellence, artistic innovation, and authentic kindness. The salon is spacious, modern, inviting, and stunning. From the art to the architecture, it is a space that truly inspires creativity. Everyone is always so friendly and accommodating. I personally have pretty fine, thin hair, and Ivo was able to work with my natural style to give me a full and healthy look, naturally. He truly goes above and beyond with your hair goals. Ivo's work with color is remarkable as well- blonde highlights can be tricky, and he always makes my hair look so much brighter and fresher, without being unnatural. Most importantly, however, Ivo has been extremely kind and accommodating for my family. My mom is sensitive to sound due to medical reasons, and Ivo has gone above and beyond to accomodate her. He's opened up the salon early for her to come in, and even come to our house for a cut/color when she isn't feeling strong enough to leave the house. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Ivo- he truly is the best hairdresser I've been to in the bay area (and after living in San Jose for 18 years and San Francisco for 4, I've seen a lot!) read more
