    Joseph ruined my hair.
    Devina P.

    I wish I could give less than one star review for this man Joseph. He ruined my hair. It has been 1.5 years since I got balayage done on my hair- and my hair still hasn't recovered from it. He bleached it- and colored it to crisp. This pic attached is after I tried to straitened it- but he has ruined it. Until my hair grows out again I have to tie it. After the time he bleached my hair, I have never seen my hair healthy again. He is also talkative and gives advices that are baseless. I will never go back to this place, and I would not trust my hair with him. The salon overall has a nice vibe and the people seem nice- except Joseph. He comes on too strong and opinionated. All could be tolerated if he would have done a good job on my hair. I have never seen my hair this way. I paid around $250 + the products he sold to me. I Have spent over $1000 on products to try to fix my hair. Nothing has worked so far - that's the amount of damage this man has done to my hair.

    Went to Justin Michael's Salon as a recommendation from my friend! Awesome salon! Went and saw Aubrie who my friend recommended for a cut and I wanted to put a purple tint in my hair. I have never dyed my hair before and wanted to make sure that anything that I did would not damage my hair. I love that when she was doing a consultation with me, she really listened to what I wanted, and what my concerns were. Because I was dying my hair, I didn't want to damage it. She formulated a whole plan for my hair. I came back the next week after and we dyed my hair! I love it! Go visit, Aubrie! She will really listen to what you are looking for and put together a whole plan for you. Will be back!

    What I asked
    C V.

    I saw Catherine Palmer. I requested a trim to keep it a long classic bob and ended up with a very short wedge, a typical old lady haircut. A different look, not what I requested. I asked for a trim at the bottom and got lots of layers and inches off the back and uneven on the side with a big mishap on one side as seen in the picture below. I asked for sun-kissed highlights as well. She was very busy texting away on her phone and not focused on the job. Background info: I was letting my hair grow as she also got carried away and cut it very short several months ago in February and it took months to grow back. I was upset she chopped it all off again, especially, as I was preparing to attend my daughter's wedding and had worked so hard to get it back to my original length. She claimed it was my fault for not articulating. I know I was very specific on just having a trim. She's very impulsive. She ended up doing her own thing, layering away and cutting off 4 inches from the back. I never asked for layers. Although she thinks she listens to her clients, she doesn't. Even worse, the new style she gave me, she botched it up as well. This was negligence for being on the phone texting and not paying attention to what she was doing. She cut a triangle into the side. She said she wouldn't charge me for the cut, a cut I didn't even ask, but she sure baked it into the highlight cost. I've never paid $200 for highlights. I'm sure the cut was thrown in there. Catherine didn't like it when I expressed my dissatisfaction. Right away she felt offended as if she was the one who got her hair cut off, and instead of apologizing, she started to make a scene as if someone was doing something wrong to her. Total drama. She was more concerned about her ego than what she did to her client. I was the one that received a bad haircut. Unfortunately, she had no empathy that I was preparing for my daughter's wedding. If it wasn't for that, I could have let it pass as hair eventually grows, but this was not the first time she screwed up. I should have known better. She cut too much in February and it took months to grow. Thus, why I asked for only a trim, not a cut. I even reminded her to not overdo it like she did in the past and emphasized a trim. I've been going to this salon for 20 years. I've had three different stylists who were amazing and unfortunately, they've all relocated. I tried Catherine since I didn't know who to go to. When she screwed up the first time, I figured I should give her some slack since she was just getting acquainted with my hair but all I can say is that I screwed up going back to her. I take the blame for going back to her. She needs training in female haircuts. The majority of her clientele is male. Edit: Responding to her comments below, which were written by Catherine and not the owner: I did reach out to her and tried to communicate, not only onsite but via text, to rectify and at least be reimbursed. See Catherine's way of dealing with a client (see attached texts below). Other: A gentleman was sitting in the waiting area, which happened to be right next to my chair (where my hair was getting done). As I stood up and walked away, I apologized to the gentleman as he overheard the whole situation. I didn't say anything else. There was no need to do so. Catherine, who responded below, is paranoid that I talked about her. Again, this goes to show that she was more interested in herself, not the client. I think the gentleman was her next client and that's why he was waiting nearby. All in all, beware. When she's wrong, she won't do a thing, not even correct the damage, reimburse, or apologize. She just washes her hands. My advice, swipe left.

    Layered hair cut

    DO NOT GO HERE went here a few months ago and had this blonde older woman cut my hair. i called in and they said it would be 60, then going there they ended up charging me 75 when it was done. incredibly uneven, and the face framing layers is just a straight line across. not sure how the reviews for this place are so good, the lady seemed like she never cut hair before. BEWARE

    Got hair and makeup done for son's wedding. Boy was it awesome to feel so confident! Both Catherine and Presila took care of me and it was so relaxing and exciting! The salon is so chill and very professional.

    Still Enjoying the fresh vibes of my new do!

    Came in for a booking with a friend on a Wednesday afternoon after being recommended to this salon…read moreby two other friends. The salon was clean and professional with some ambient jazz in the background. My appointment with Hibiki started with a gentle hair wash before I was brought a small cup of tea and some konpeito to snack on as I showed him the album of reference photos on my phone. We were able to make some pleasant small talk even with the English-Japanese language barrier, and Hibiki was very attentive to making sure my hair was cut and styled in a flattering way that added volume! (I had let him know I struggled with my hair sitting flat) I would definitely come back!! For anyone looking to book here that doesn't speak Japanese, I would advise you make sure you have clear reference photos of the type of cut you want--preferably from multiple angles. Don't be afraid to ask questions, bust out Google Translate, and make gestures for what length you want your hair at!

She has a great eye for shape and detail, and every time I leave the salon the cut looks sharp, modern, and easy to maintain. She also takes the time to understand what you're looking for and offers thoughtful suggestions that really work with your hair and style. It's clear she has a lot of experience and takes pride in her craft. If you're looking for a stylist who can give you a clean, stylish cut with great attention to detail, I highly recommend Kaori at Viange Hair.

    Alice is the very best!!!…read more I've been coming to Alice since spring/summer of 2024, and now I can never go to anyone else. Seriously, the best haircuts I've ever had, that make it worth driving from the Bay Area. While at college, I had to try some other hair stylists and they just don't compare, to the point where she could tell they had done things that weren't in line with what I usually like. Her intuition for what you're looking for is spot on, and she knows how to kindly suggest what will and won't work best. Plus, when I was interested in color but am on a college student budget, she didn't hesitate to give me the best at-home suggestions. Not to mention that she's extremely personable, kind, and takes the time to really get to know you and check in on your life, no matter how long it's been since you last came in. Definition of the goat.

I appreciate her honesty: there are times I ask if we need to redo my balayage and she says I don't need it yet. She is also very fun to talk to- for me the time with her goes by fast and I always enjoy chatting with her. I'm really glad I found Alice!

    I am writing this as a witness to an incredibly upsetting incident involving my daughter, who is a…read morelong-time client of Anna's. My daughter recently underwent a major surgery. Per her surgeon's strict orders to prevent infection and protect her fractured nasal bones that were in a cast, she cannot wear a mask or glasses, and she must avoid getting her face wet. We visited the salon specifically for a "salon-style" wash to follow medical guidance. While Anna has always provided excellent service over the last 2.5 years, the behavior of another staff member (the owner Kathys other daughter-in-law) was absolutely appalling. When my daughter politely asked Anna to wear a mask for protection, since my daughter cannot wear one herself due to her surgical fractures, this other employee chose to interfere. She was incredibly rude and aggressive, telling my daughter, "Do you think you're a queen?" and then telling her "dont look at me, close your eyes and shut up." It was shocking to see a client treated with such blatant disrespect and disregard for medical necessity. While Anna apologized privately, the fact that the owner Kathy and other staff members stood by and said nothing is unacceptable. No matter how competitive your prices are, there is no excuse for bullying a client who is in a vulnerable, post-operative state. We have supported this family business for years, but we cannot recommend a place that treats medical safety and basic human decency as an inconvenience. Dublin is a growing, diverse community that deserves local businesses that make our city better, not worse. We need businesses that uphold standards of respect, inclusivity, and basic human decency. Allowing this kind of toxic behavior and blatant disregard for a client's medical needs does nothing but pull our community down.
