I've been to her a couple of times now and I am always so happy with the results. The first time I had a cut and color. It came out beautifully. My hair comes down to my butt and it's very thick friends say I have Pocahontas hair, so it was really tough when trusting someone new to do such a big change. The last time I had just a cut and it's given my hair so much bounce. I absolutely love it. Christy is now my forever stylist and I'm bringing my daughter to her in a couple of weeks who also has a lions mane of hair.

The color blended so naturally with the rest of my hair, and the ash tone looked perfect--not too warm or brassy.

It was very streaky and I had a conference coming up at work and did not feel confident with hair like a clown. So I knew Lily would be able to fix it. Lily is not cheap but you get what you pay for. She is worth it. I let her pick the color since she's the colorist. She's great. I refer everyone to her. My friend even goes to her now and we have appointments at the same time in the Fall. We're so excited! Once I saw the results of my hair, I exhaled and instantly felt like myself again. Lily knows how to pick the color based on your style and personality. She's also a wonderful person. Go to her. You won't regret it. People fly from other states just to see her.

She asked thoughtful questions to make sure she fully understood my vision and even offered helpful suggestions that made the final result even better. She took her time and was incredibly detail-oriented to make sure my color was absolutely perfect. I went in for gray blending and the technique she used worked beautifully. The color and highlights are truly perfection and far exceeded my expectations. I also had a K-18 treatment and my hair feels so healthy and soft. On top of her incredible skill, Emmy is a true professional with such a great personality. She made the whole experience enjoyable and relaxing. I seriously can't stop looking at my hair. Thank you Emmy!!

There's so much to look at from the wall of products to the screen on the side playing super helpful tips and product recommendations. Gissell is not only incredibly talented in the craft of curly cuts but she is such a sweet person in general. I felt comfortable sharing past experiences as well as what I wanted this time. She listened to each and every concern I had and every step of the way made sure I was happy with the outcome. The curly cut I chose had wash and style in it and wow that conditioner massage was too good! She let me know all the products she was using on my hair as well as giving me tips on how to style my hair and what products to use at home!! Which I so appreciated because taking care of curly hair is hard! I've gotten a curly cut before and it was nowhere near this good. I will certainly be back and I can't wait to hang out with Gissell again in a couple months!

I recently visited Fox & Rose Salon for a color service with Rachael. I had a consultation…read morebeforehand where we discussed my hair history and the look I wanted. The salon's website encouraged clients to share their full hair history, and I did that because I know color can be difficult to get right. Based on our conversation, I left with the understanding that achieving my desired result would not be an issue. I want to say that I really like the salon itself. The space is lovely, the atmosphere is positive, the staff are welcoming, and the client experience feels thoughtful. Unfortunately, the color service was very disappointing. I came in with grown-out, uneven color and asked for an overall lighter golden brown with a dimensional dusty rose balayage. I also brought reference photos to the appointment. The final result was not close to what we discussed. Instead of a soft, blended look, my hair had stripe-like sections, and the rose tone faded almost immediately. Five days later, after only one wash, all of the pink is gone, and the color still looks uneven and brassy in places. See attached photos (the pink reference is what I asked for and the other 2 photos are what I got). What was most frustrating was the lack of discussion at the end of the appointment. It seemed clear that the result was not what I had asked for, but I was not shown the back of my hair, and there was no real conversation about the outcome or possible next steps. I did not raise it in the moment because I had already been there for several hours and wanted time to look at it fully before judging the final result. For a service that cost over $700, I expected something more polished and aligned with the consultation. I understand that hair coloring is not an exact science, but I do think it is important to be realistic about what can be achieved and to address it openly when the outcome does not match the client's expectations. I may still return to Fox & Rose for a haircut because I genuinely liked the salon environment! For color services, though, I would just caution clients to be very clear about expectations, share their full hair history, and be prepared that the result may not match what was discussed.

I had about 5 appointments with a high end colorist in SF that never got it anywhere close to what I wanted! Everyone told me it wasn't possible but Deborah did it on the first appointment. I've been growing out my natural gray but I still have a lot of brown so I'm mostly trying to go for a cool toned bright blonde/white so it blends more with my roots as they grow out so I can go longer between appointments. I don't want my hair to look like a natural gray, I still want it to have a pop and feel current. Deborah was honest about what would work in our video consultation, as well as with pricing upfront. She also told me how to take care of it moving forward and what is need to do at home to maintain the cool tone. It look a long time (about 7-8 hours) but she is extremely precise and detailed at her work and it clearly shows. Thank you, Deborah!

Showed her what I wanted...dark roots and balayage. After advising if what she could do (with a whole bunch of animated behavior bragging about her abilities), I walked out after 10hrs (!!) with half done hair. Just bleached, no color/toner. Meanwhile, I had a super important meeting 3 days later that I had to be ready to present at. I looked like a frizzled mess!!! She burnt my hair to a crisp. I begged her for an appt before my meeting, even though she was supposed to finished everything day 1, and she kept me for an additional 7 hours. When I say my hair was burnt, I'm not exaggerating. It's taken over a year to grow my hair out. I never even got what I wanted. She gave my uneven blonde highlights...not the dark roots and balayage that I'd requested. And yes, I took a whole bunch of pictures in. All in, I paid $2K CASH...bc she refuses to take anything else so I assume she doesn't pay taxes. Plus I paid over $500 in treatment products to help heal my hair since. I was embarrassed to leave the house. All I heard from her own mouth was how great she was. I think she's great at extensions but definitely not bleaching dark hair. I had healthy hair going in, she has messed it up so much that my hair is STILL breaking and it's been over a year. Please avoid at all costs. Go to a proper studio. Funny thing is not only does she only take cash, but she INCLUDES her own MANDATORY 20% tip...isn't a tip based on services rendered?? You've been warned.

She didn't do the job correctly in the first attempt so I asked for an another appointment. I was very clear that I only color the part which shows gray hair but in the second appointment, instead of fixing the old problem , she thought it's easier to apply the color on the whole scalp. I kept telling her not to touch roots but she had her own explanations and continued to do what seemed correct to her. Now the results are : I have itchy scalp with lots of dandruff and roughness , specially the bottom part of my hair is badly damaged. Tremendous amount of hair fall which I never had in my life (clearly the color she applied had something in it ). Even though she said it's ammonia free, but while she was applying this color, I told her this is the first time I am feeling the itchiness and headache but her answer was , "oh I don't know why you feeling this way, it's probably your skin". She couldn't even get rid of black spots from my forehead after the wash. Although it wasn't the first time that I requested ammonia free hair color from this salon but it would definitely make me never going back there .

I still remember what first drew me in - and what probably drew you in to read this review: endless photos of gorgeous, luscious, silky, perfectly dimensional colored hair that looked like it was done by a celebrity stylist. She's only gotten more skilled over the years, and her clientele more loyal. Thy's work always feels classy, polished, and effortlessly luxurious -- never overdone, never trendy in a way that feels temporary. There's an elegance in how she colors hair and styling that makes the final result look timeless. Not only is she an artist, but she listens carefully, takes everything you say into consideration, and also gives honest, expert advice -- including when the answer is, "No, I'm not going to bleach your whole head of hair." You can immediately tell she has a quiet, resolute dedication to delivering her best every single time, no matter how many times you've been in her chair. Thy is exceptional, and if you're lucky enough to book her, I promise you'll walk out of the salon smiling and taking a million selfies.

They are always very friendly and accommodating for a walk-in appointment. The salon is hygienic and clean. They also have a very nice selection of gel polish colors, especially cateye colors. I recently had an ingrown toenail (my first ever in 33 years) after my latest visit but the owner was quick to help communicate this with the nail tech doing my pedicure so it doesn't happen again. This made me feel very understood and respected as a regular customer here. The owner also tries to remember the regulars at the salon and always offer a warm welcoming, which is very nice of her. They offer a discount for cash payments, but also accept Venmo (even for tips) while credit card has a small charge. I think their prices are very reasonable and definitely cheaper than the last salon I went to before switching to Pedi Nail Lounge. There is a large shared parking lot in front so plenty of parking nearby. I also like that there is a coffee shop (Blvd coffee), food spot (Chispiro's) and Lucky Grocery store right next door that makes the location extremely convenient for me. 5/5 , definitely recommend if you're looking for a new nail salon

That's the reason I keep coming back. Unfortunately, the scheduling and appointment management have become really frustrating. Almost every time I book with a specific technician, I don't actually get the person I requested. On top of that, even with an appointment, I regularly wait 30-45 minutes past my scheduled time before getting started. What should be a normal appointment turns into me being there for close to 3.5 hours. I also feel bad for the technicians because they seem overbooked and overwhelmed. The salon accepts so many walk-ins that the staff barely gets a break, and it affects the overall experience for both customers and employees. I truly want to continue supporting this business because the work itself is excellent, but I hope management improves scheduling, honors technician requests, and stops overbooking appointments.
