I had the BEST experience with Alicia Giles today! I went in with a complete hair disaster -- I…read morehadn't had my hair cut or colored in over a year -- and Alicia spent FOUR hours transforming it into something absolutely beautiful. She really understood my hair type and knew exactly how to approach the color without over-highlighting it, especially knowing my toner tends to wash out quickly. That level of knowledge and attention made such a difference. My hair looks healthy, dimensional, and honestly better than I hoped for. I left feeling like myself again. Thank you, Alicia, for your patience, skill, and amazing work. Highly recommend!

Five stars for Justin!! I am new to the Bay, hadn't yet found the colorist who would understand my…read morehair and the look I wanted. I booked with Justin at Salon 1500 based on reviews. He reached out for a conversation before I came in and I knew I was in good hands. And then I was BLOWN AWAY by what he was able to achieve!! I had expected it would take a few visits to get there. Justin knows hair!! There is a science and an art to color, especially for those of us wanting dimensional color. Justin has both expertise and artistry!! I'm just delighted. I want to also mention that the salon itself is lovely. Spacious and airy, with a sweet back patio. I loved the art, too. The whole experience was uplifting! Justin is easy to talk to, the vibes are chill. I'm including before and after photos in hopes that my review might help someone else in a similarly desperate situation. You can trust Justin at Salon 1500!! He's awesome!!

Over the years, I've watched her grow from renting a chair in different salons to accomplishing the amazing milestone of owning her own space. It's been so inspiring to see her success.

I'll admit I once made the mistake of going somewhere else, and quickly learned my lesson-- no one compares to her work or the experience she provides. Going blonde isn't a quick process, but Jessie always checks in throughout the appointment to make sure you're comfortable. She truly cares about the health of your hair and is always continuing her education to stay up to date with the best techniques. She also recommends high-quality products to help you maintain your hair between visits. I constantly get compliments on my hair, and it's all thanks to Jessie's talent. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and takes pride in their craft, leave it into the hands of Jessie!!
