She wanted to inquire on a haircut as she saw several people go in and out with nice hair cuts. Being mid week it was not as busy. We were in and out pretty fast too.

My old stylist moved away, and I was having a hard time finding good hair stylists around me (in…read moreSan Jose or in San Francisco), so my friend recommended Julia in concord. My last haircut, I came out crying because it wasn't what I wanted at all and I couldn't wait to grow it out. Even though it's a bit of a drive, I definitely think it was worth it because I came out of the salon feeling so refreshed and happy. I came a little late because of a meeting, but Julia was so sweet and still accommodated me but never made me feel like she was rushing through my hair. I asked for long layers with a U cut, and face framing bangs. Multiple people have commented on my haircut, and I'm so happy with my decision!

Julia gives such a good haircut it was worth it to make the drive. She looks at the haircut pics I bring and listens to what I have in mind and executes it. She is very personable and kind. The salon is roomy and clean. Hoping I can manage to go to her more often. I highly recommend!

Fabbie at Elegant Salon is AMAZING!!! And so is Magdalena!!!!…read moreI have been going to Elegant Salon for about a year now and Fabbie never lets me down. I don't even have to tell her what I want and she still makes my hair look and feel great! I will never go to another salon again! I found my place! If you're looking for a great salon, with individualized attention to the cut, color, perm, or whatever you're looking for, this is the place to go!

My hair was left damaged, overprocessed, and the wrong green gray toilet water color. The worst part? She has ignored every message since, even though she replied quickly before appointments. I paid $160 for damage, silence and not knowing what to do!. I would NEVER go back.

The stylist I saw has since left this salon…read more Originally I emailed Sixteen Eighty Eight through Yelp with my formula and they confirmed they were able to do it, which was great news since I've had trouble finding someone who can follow my formula in Walnut Creek. They matched me with a stylist and I came in on a particularly cold rainy day. The first issue I noted was that they didn't use heat to process, which my formula calls for. Although I've had other salons use wet heat to treat, using no heat was unusual. Beyond that, I noted the stylist would make comments where the tone sounded friendly, but the words like, "your hair is so long, do you ever cut it," were a bit rude. By the end of the visit it was clear she didn't particularly like me, but my hair looked fine under the lighting, so I tipped well and left. What followed has literally never happened to me in the four years I've gotten full root coverage. The color leeched out of my hair - as in, within a few days, all coverage was gone. I don't know what she used, but after a week it didn't look like I'd gotten my hair done at all - my best guess is that because she didn't use heat, it didn't process correctly. I just don't know. I've sat on this review trying to decide how I feel about it, but I definitely always now confirm my formula has to be processed with heat and I've gone back to my old salon in Berkeley even though it's a bit of a drive.

Jaiden was my amazing hairstylist!! She is SO good at what she does and is so knowledgeable. She won me over for sure and I have been a telling everyone I know to book with her!! I've always been told my hair is as too dark to add blonde but Jaiden is the first hairstylist I've had to take what I want and apply it and recommend what's best. She also has the cutest foils (not that that matters). 10/10 highly recommend :)

Melissa has been doing my hair for almost 6 years now and I've always left her salon feeling…read morebeautiful and confident. Her hair lighting technique/placement result in gorgeous highlights every time. She knows what hair tone looks best and will flatter me the most. Also, if I want to have an appointment where I either want to chat, just stay quiet and relax, or both, she is open to either and just makes my time in the salon very comfortable. Melissa is very skilled and experienced in the hair styling industry and I always feel confident that she will give me the hair results I want. She is always professional and if there is a service she doesn't think she should do as it might cause damage, she is up front with me. The salon is also really well-decorated and relaxing to be in. I am definitely a loyal customer to Melissa and Painted Mane! (I also wanted to mention that Melissa is very reliable and has not once needed to reschedule any of my appointments. She's also accommodated my schedule if ever needed and I truly appreciate her for that.)

I had felt terrible about my hair for MONTHS on top of planning a small wedding, and with the big day just days away I didn't want to risk another bad foil. Oh my gosh, please book with her if you're a blonde! It took her a while to fix it, and I appreciate the thoughtful attention to detail and care she put into it. Result is a stunning, glistening blonde that immediately made me love my hair again. The pricing is very fair and the salon is a lovely place. I'm going to book with her going forward. If you're a blonde, book with Carly!

Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I drove a significant distance for my…read moreappointment and was asked to come at a later time because the stylist was running behind with her previous client. I tried to be understanding and accommodate her by agreeing to the later time and finding something to do nearby while I waited. I was then contacted again and told that the appointment was still taking longer than expected. At that point, I was told she could still take me, but she couldn't provide an estimated time of when she would actually be available. I understand that appointments can occasionally run over, but repeatedly changing the appointment time and then asking me to wait indefinitely was frustrating, especially after I had already traveled a long distance and made multiple accommodations. I ultimately decided that I couldn't continue waiting without knowing when my appointment would actually happen. I believe clients' time should be respected just as much as the stylist's, and better time management and communication would have made a big difference. I'm leaving this review in hopes that future clients have a more organized and reliable experience.
