She did a wonderful job with my haircut. Finally found someone who truly knows her craft and understands the needs of her clients. I have thick coarse hair and she took her time and gave me exactly what I wanted. Definitely recommend read more

$9 eyebrows. The girl took her time and made them look great. The salon, however, is nothing to recommend. It's cluttered, not very clean-looking, hot (no air conditioning on the day I went), and crowded with idle young Indian girls standing around staring at you. ??? read more

Kay's Beauty Salon - Storefront - Hair Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

My go-to! I have been seeing Kay since I have moved to the East Bay. I will not let any one else touch my eyebrows. I have difficult/uneven brows and she still manages to make them look good. Haircuts are also top notch. I will have my hair cut done when I'm out of my pandemic rut. Making an appointment is easy, just text. She's very nice, easy to talk to, skillful.. I hope business picks up for her.. Make Kay your go-to!! read more

This was my first experience with threading, and Kay was wonderful. She is so kind and pleasant, and her technique is super gentle. I have a skin condition that can be very painful, and Kay really cared and went slow so that I didn't have any tearing at all. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

My not-so-great DIY haircut lead me to Kay, and I'm so grateful it did! She did a wonderful job fixing my uneven hair and made it look really cute! I followed another Yelper's advice and washed my hair just before my appointment. Kay is a very nice woman, and she listens to what you want. I'll definitely be returning for my next haircut. read more

Kay Beauty Salon has moved to Todos Santos Square in Concord!! Located above Baskin Robbins, take the entrance to the left of Baskin Robbins and the first stairway on the left. The salon is located between Julie's nail salon and another hair salon. The salon is not yet renovated, but regardless I had a pleasant experience. After reading all the Yelp reviews I made an appointment to come to Kay's salon for a haircut and eyebrow threading. Kay did a great job shaping my eyebrows, paying close attention to detail. If you've been to other threading places, you will appreciate how gentle Kay is with threading while removing all the hair she is supposed to. Other places tend to be very rough and might actually nick your skin but Kay is very careful Before she cut my hair, she asked me exactly how I wanted my hair cut, and gave me suggestions on what would work for my hair type (I have very straight, long hair) and how to take care of my hair. Most of all, Kay put a lot of care into her craft and was lovely to carry on a conversation with - she really tries to get to know her clients and carry on a genuine conversation with them. Kay meticulously cut my hair, and in the end my hair came out exactly how I wanted it (layers in the front, trimmed fringes, subtle layers in the back with a U-shape). She pays great attention to detail and takes her time to cut hair just right. read more

I've been going to Kay for threading since I moved to the Walnut Creek area about 4 months ago. I actually found her on Yelp and the reviewers were dead on about Kay. I go every 2 weeks and I would highly recommend seeing Kay. She is affordable and very accommodating. I usually call her the day I want to go in and she fits me into her schedule. There has never been a time in the past 4 months that she hasn't been able to fit me in the same day. She even cuts hair! She cut my hair once and did a really good job! She does work out of her apartment so it's not like being at an actual salon, but she has a nice little waiting area in her living room. So if you like the frills of going to an actual salon this would definitely not be a place for you, but if you enjoy saving some money with great results I would recommend Kay. read more

Great price for a great cut! $20 for wash, cut and blow dry. Kay was soft spoken and very sweet. She is a great listener and gave me exactly what I was looking for. I found my new stylist! The place is no frills but who cares. She uses good hair products and knows what she is doing. Treat yourself to an ice cream after ;-) read more

I've been visiting Kay ever since I was 10 years old! Bottom line is, FOLKS, she knows what she's doing. She's professional, doesn't intrude into your life trying to chat you up with small talk, is quick, and maintains your privacy during each procedure. My ratings: Facials: 10/10 Threading: 10/10 Haircuts: 8/10 (She took a little too much off) read more

I love threading but this beauty salon is in a 2 bedroom apartment. If you are a no frills type of person than this is for you...I love going to a salon or spa for the ambiance which is why I am giving it 3 stars. When I called to make the appointment I was not told that it was in an apartment complex so I drove around forever trying to find it. I then called her cellphone but no answer since she was busy with a client...finally I asked someone who lived in the complex and they guided me to her 2 bedroom apartment. I waited outside of her apartment in the hall...WEIRD. Then her husband opened and I sat on the couch and waited. Finally, Kay introduced herself and she was really sweet. I laid there and she did a good job on my eyebrows and lip. She does a good job... I would go to her if she worked at a salon but I just don't like going to someones apartment I prefer the salon spa atmosphere. read more

I am the type of person who has plain long, straight hair, and thus doesn't like to spend a lot on haircuts. That's how found Kay, searching for hair salons on the low end of the price range here on Yelp. I usually can't tell the difference between a Great Clips cut and one that I paid $50 for. So I went into for my cut with Kay with little expectation. She's a sweet and quiet lady, very welcoming of you into her home. I told her how little I wanted off for my trim, and she gave me what I requested. I told her I wanted to grow out my bangs, and she asked me if I wanted to blend the hair in layers from the bottom of my existing bangs down to the ends of my hair. I said "do what you think is best". She spent a lot of time making the layers, and I have to say, she did a wonderful job. It wasn't that obvious to me that she'd given my hair a nice shape until the days that followed; I'd have no time to fix or even brush my hair, and I'd look in the mirror, and my hair still looked fantastic. Kay just did a terrific job with the layers that hung beautifully with no effort on my part. I will definitely go back for my next cut with her. A couple of practical things to point out: the intercom for her building is on the corner of Las Juntas and Coggins. I initially had a hard time finding the correct entrance, since there are several access points to her building. Also, she has no salon sinks where you sit and tip your head back into that little groove that fits your neck, so I don't think I'd go to her for shampoo or color, as I don't think I'd want to stand over her bathroom/kitchen sink while she rinsed my hair. Finally, even though I don't have threading done on myself because I'm a wimp and prefer the quick rip of wax, her eyebrows looked fantastic. I don't doubt she does an amazing job with eyebrow shaping with thread. read more

Kay is so great and always fits me in when I would like to be seen. She is the most thorough threader I have ever seen and the most affordable. I would recommend her to anyone who prefers to be threaded over waxing which I had done for years. Even if you haven't tried threading, give Kay a try! It may become your favorite way to get rid of unwanted hair. I also want to add that Kay cut my hair and did a great job for a very reasonable price! I need to back again soon for another trim. Thanks, Kay! read more

Great haircut, great price! I took a leap of faith in coming to a new stylist when I recently decided to cut my long hair quite short, but I liked what I saw on Yelp about Kay's. She didn't disappoint! She returned my call and was able to squeeze me in the same day. Kay listened very carefully to my description of what I wanted, and clarified a couple of points with me before ever picking up the scissors. She did a very thorough job and did EXACTLY what I asked for - a rare thing among stylists, who often assume you don't really know what you want. After my super successful haircut, I found that she only takes cash, which I didn't have enough of. Kay had no problem with me running across the street to the ATM and coming back with payment. Will definitely return for future cuts, and maybe threading as well. read more

As I was leaving the gym, I figured I would swing by this place since, according to Yelp, it is open at 9am. I arrive around 915-930a and was told that "The lady doesn't come in until 10am." Okay? So, I decided to give her a call after 10am to see if she was there before making another blank trip. I get her voicemail and I left a message. You know she had the nerve to call me back at 5pm?! I politely told her that I went somewhere else. I found another place that doesn't have this foolishness going on. She definitely missed out! Her bad. read more

I went there for hair cut yesterday. The place is very small but she makes you feel very comfortable and at the end of the day you don't need a huge space at all. When I arrived she was waiting for me at the door! I told her how I wanted my hair cut and she explained what she would be cutting to achieve the style I picked. She also asked me how much of the hair I wanted to cut. She took her time checking if the cut was perfectly done, measuring my hair and the overall look! My husband loves long hair and he approved it, she did a great job! The price is very reasonable! I will go back there and recommend Kay! Next time I will try my eyebrow! Thank you Kay! :) read more

I went in for eyebrow and lip threading. I loved it! It was my very first time threading and I'm really impressed. Kay is really sweet and she gets the job done. Definitely coming back! read more

I have been going to Kay for eyebrow threading for quite a long time now. Kay has moved to her own salon (in Concord). She always does such a great job with my eyebrows (cleans and shapes them very-very well). She charges only $11 for eyebrow threading. I have not tried her haircuts, but have heard good comments about her as a hair stylist too. I came by her salon today without making an appointment prior to coming. She was very busy and couldn't fit me in. I really wanted to get my eyebrows done and went to a different place where a lady literally ruined my eyebrows.... will never go to anyone else but Kay again (at least while I live in the East Bay area :)) read more

YELP came thru again! If it wasn't for Yelp I may not have found Kay's Beauty Salon. I was not bothered the salon was in her home. I was not prepared for not having the ability to wash my hair. Next time I will come with clean, wet hair. Kay was professional, listened to my needs. In the end, my hair had style, movement, one of the best cuts I have had in years. My next appt will be in 6 weeks! Thanks to Kay, I will be stylin' read more

So, I stumbled upon this Yelp review (mind you, there is only one) & then, come to find- this Kay chick is actually found on Craig's list. I paid her a visit & went to her salon-like room in her apartment. She was very cosy, warm & was quite hospitable. I got my eyebrows & upper lip for $10. $10? that is awful gosh darn cheap, she took careful of my eye brows & made sure she spent enough time with them as well. Although she did make the a tiny spectable thinner than i usually get, I still was pleased with the shape, the perfection, the arch of my brows & not to mention the process. But kay was so careful with my skin, eye brows that I hardly felt any pain. Word. Enough said. Gotta check this girl out. read more

You may wonder where in the world is this place located? It is really a salon? No, it's at an apartment complex and the woman, Kay runs a beauty salon in her home. It's a nice and clean place, laid out like a beauty salon and the living room is a waiting room complete with chairs and magazines. One room is her room, and the other is the beauty room. It's very clean and set up like just like a real beauty salon. I came in for waxing and threading. The main point is, she does an awesome job and her pricing is very cheap which is a plus, plus! If you don't feel comfortable going to her apartment alone, then bring a friend. read more

I really like Kay and I go to her for waxing. She does a good job of it when it comes to legs and arms. When it came to waxing my underarms last time, my goodness it was so painful. She was not at all gentle. Then she used tweezers and she just poked my skin with it and pulled on my sensitive skin. I am not happy with the way she waxed my underarms. I have also been to her for a haircut, its true she knows what she is doing, but the comb she uses stinks it almost made me want to puke. I never went back for a haircut. read more

Kay did a fabulous job cutting my hair today! I have very thin hair and a scar on top of my head to go with it, and she did a fantastic job texturing it and making feel confident again. I chose to go super short to help give it body, and I will definitely be going back to her. It's also a smallish salon so it's very private when you're getting your hair cut. I'm too self conscious to be wide out in the open so this spot was perfect for me. Thanks Kay!!! You're amazing at what you do! read more

Kay is wonderful! She did a great job fast yet precise! Hair cut style lasted even when I didn't get back for many months

I just visited Kay to do my eyebrows and upper lip wax and she did a great job! My eyebrows are difficult to shape but she got it just right I'll be definitely continue coming to her business! read more

Eyebrow threading on point! Kind lady, always gets me in last minute. Definitely recommend

I set an unofficial appointment with her at 2:35ish today, got there around 2:45, and was out by 3 pm. I went in for an eyebrow waxing. She waxed, trimmed, tweezed, and threaded my eyebrows (there were smaller hairs, because I was still growing my eyebrows out.. I just couldn't wait any longer!) and they came out great. I tried threading before but it was too painful so that is why I stick to waxing, but today since it wasn't as much hair, it didn't hurt too much and it only contributed to a cleaner look. She is a very nice lady, she was making conversation the whole time. It was $10 to get an eyebrow wax. I gave her a $5. I may or may not go back due to convenience of location.. I usually go to My Nails Salon in Pittsburg. I didn't say anything about how I wanted my eyebrow shape (big no-no in the world of beauty services) but she did a good job at figuring out the shape I needed. I personally prefer an arch look, but she left me with the simple look that my eyebrows originally have. Next time I will ask for an arch and maybe I will be even more satisfied. I recommend for people to go to her because she is lonely. read more

I love Kay, whether I go when I have messed up my own eyebrows or I have an upcoming event she is truly a master. I have been to many eyebrow threaders from NY to LA and she is by far one of my favorites. First, I appreciate that she has been doing this for a long time! Second, she understands what looks good. She loves to make sure she gives you an arc and knows what looks good with your facial features! Anyway, she is awesome at what she does and I love going to her for my eyebrows! read more

Kay's Beauty Salon - Eyebrows - Hair Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

See all

I've been coming to Kay's Salon for eyebrow threading for over 4 years and refuse to go anywhere else for threading. Kay has always provided attentive service every time I've gone and her prices are very reasonable. The salon was never crowded and I always felt comfortable. I moved across to the other side of the bay a few years ago, but make it a point to drive across the bridge to Kay's salon every month for threading. Also, I noticed the negative reviewers here gave fewer stars because the salon wasn't "nice looking" even though the reviewer stated that the service was good--not having a nice salon shouldn't be a valid reason to give fewer stars! Also, KAY'S SALON HAS MOVED to 1978 Desert Circle # 2 Walnut Creek, CA 94598 read more

Kay is fantastic! I found her on yelp, and I definitely agree with the other positive reviews that she is great at what she does. I went to her with haggard looking eyebrows and she fixed my eyebrows by threading them for $7! I was so pleased with my eyebrows that I can't wait to go back and I'm planning on getting my hair cut ($12) here next time. Yay, for my 300th review! read more

I heard about her through a friend. Was really looking for someone who does threading eyebrows. She is very good and I dont feel the pain, which is the best thing for me. I've been to her salon once and am definitely going again. Her charges are also nominal. I got eyebrows and upper lip done for $10. I would definitely recommend her services. read more

Eyebrow and lip threading for $17! I was extra generous and left a $5 tip. She did such an amazing job:) I definitely see how nicely defined my eyebrows have become compared to waxing! Will be coming back to her in 3 weeks! read more

First time treading!!! Wasn't bad especially with Kay's gentle touch she really is a master threader and takes her time and is meticulous with her work $9 threading of brow and lip and $15 haircut I just wish she didn't cut off so much. Definitely will return for threading (trying to grow my brows out, we all know how hard that is) read more

Kay is super sweet and precise and will take the time to make sure she's done a thorough job. I will definitely return.

Decided to try a new place and I loved how Kay did my eyebrows and shape. I Got lots if compliments!

I totally agree with other's reviews. The haircut and threading are great. I have long hair and wanted to have my eyebrow threaded. She took her time and spent almost an hour with me. She is not pushy and trying to sell you anything. It came to find out I know some of her colleagues when she was working for some of the chain salons. What a small world. I definitely go back to her from now on. The apartment location is different but the apartment building is nice and clean, so is her home. It looks like she is easily booked up, especially during holidays since everyone wants to have their hair done. 5 Stars all the way! read more

after seeing all the reviews I figured i would try this salon out. I looked it up on google to see where it was next to and nothing came up. So i figured I would call to see if it was still open. it was 7am I figured id get an answering machine but Kay answered. what a surprise. i asked if she had time that morning and she made me an apt. not many hairstylist use their personal cell for their business line but she dose. The salon is small and quite. but she did a great job on my daughters A line. she took her time and got every detail. we even deiced to try the eyebrow threading. it was my daughters first time. she is half mexican and had really thick bushy almost unibrow eyebrows. since she is starting middle school we just wanted to get them cleaned up and separated. Kay understood to give her a young girl look and not to make them too thin. She was patient and gentle and my daughter is really happy with her new look. read more

Whether it is shaping or just cleaning up your eyebrows, she does a wonderful job and listens to what you want, very cheap. Consistently does a good job, I've been going to her for over 2 years and am willing to take bart to Pleasant Hill station where she is conveniently located 5 min walking distance from. Highly recommend her services. read more

First of all, OW. Oh my god. Pain. It was my first time getting my eyebrows threaded and holy shit, it hurt. I have a tattoo down my spine, I've gotten a corset piercing, and waxing doesn't phase me in the slightest. THREADING? OH MY GOD. It's a piece of thread! bfhjsdbgjshgs Anyway, I went to Kay after reading all the yelp reviews. Without the directions I probably wouldn't have found it, despite the attempts on the property itself. It isn't AWFUL for the circumstances, but it's a little off. Eyebrows and a trim, with an appointment at 2pm. I was out of there by 2:30pm. The haircut took longer than the threading, and despite her already knowing without me telling her she cut off more length than I wanted. I swear, no matter how long my hair eventually gets, no matter what stylist I go to, they always cut it back to the same length I hate. I'm not a big fan of my bangs, either. They aren't blended for the life of them. I am very pleased with my eyebrows, however. I'm glad my first results were worth the wait, despite the pain and redness. Definitely going back for threading only. Also, haircuts are $15, not $12. read more

She's really nice. She recognizes me and is super sweet. I found out she does waxing and hair cuts as well. She use to work at Shelby Sexton's in Lafayette, so you know she's good. I think she does manicures also? But seriously, if you want to do threading, and I've been to so many places in So Cal, Fremont and San Francisco, she is definitely the best. read more

I came here immediately after returning from Vietnam to fix a very bad $0.75 haircut I got there. I have to say I was pretty satisfied with the results! She is a sweet lady and is very thorough and meticulous in her work. But...I walked out of the salon looking like I just came out of the 90's. I think it's just the way she styled my hair while blow drying. You know...that super-volumnized young Cindy Crawford look? But anyway, once I straightened my hair it looked fine. The cut was $15 without blow drying. Will I return? Perhaps. I still need to adjust to the idea of paying for haircuts (my mom always cut my hair growing up). read more
