Limón Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I absolutely love this salon, the ambience is perfect. I went in for a haircut, which is something that I would've never thought I'd go in willingly to a salon for but I know that Alyssa will not disappoint me. She is super sweet and kind, and is always thoughtful of what would look and feel the best for me! read more

I love how friendly and attentive everyone in the salon is. I've gone to Cecilia a few times now and I always love how my hair turns out. She's given me layered cuts each time and my hair looks healthy, stunning, and beautiful. She's very kind and professional. Highly recommend her and the salon! :) read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Limón with Martha. She was very patient and really listened to my hairstory and experiences at other salons. After years of blowdrying on high, flat ironing, teasing and generally punishing my fine locks, my hair is on the thinner side and just not as vibrant as it was years ago. I don't cut my hair very often. It's hard for me to trust stylists because so many of them just want to cut it all off and give me the standard layers with framing around my face which I really hate, so it takes all year to grow back. Well, meeting Martha at Limón really made me think that I may have found a stylist that understood. She listened and gave thoughtful, patient suggestions of what had worked for other clients. She understood that although I know I needed to cut off a good chunk of hair, I needed to take it slow. She gave me options, cutting off a bit then after blow drying, let me take a look and decide if I wanted to take off more. Seeing it dry made all the difference and I decided to take off a bit more and felt good about it. Often times I'll leave a salon thinking that it's ok only to get home and realize that too much had been cut and I'd have to wait months and months for it to grow back. Not this time. I felt good about it when I left, and days later when I washed and styled it myself which is kind of rare for me:) The salon is in a convenient location and has great snacks and drinks for their clients. They have a friendly atmosphere and an upbeat, stylish vibe that feels good without being pretentious. Looking forward to my next appointment. See you soon, Martha! read more

I brought both my boys after my wonderful curly hair experience for them To get their haircuts. Hank was kind and funny with my kids. He even washed, conditioned and styled their hair. The front desk staff are so sweet that they gave me a complimentary snack and mimosa. read more

This review is for ISIS- I have a girl who I trust with my haircuts wholeheartedly but I haven't found somebody I trust coloring my hair UNTIL NOW! After researching salons in my area I came across Limon. I checked out their yelp and Instagram to see their work. My first consultation was with Kimmy but she referred me to Isis. After my consultation I was nervous but decided to have faith and went forward with my appointment one week later. I haven't had my hair colored since Oct 2024. I let my roots grow out but the bottom portion of my hair was still blond ish. My natural hair color is dark brown and I wanted to go 2 to 3 shades lighter with subtle highlights throughout. I showed inspo pictures as a reference but most of it was verbalizing what I wanted. I was in the chair from 10:30 AM to 4:50PM. It was worth it because now I love my hair! I haven't loved my hair in a long time-thank you Isis! The woman at the front desk is very friendly and offers you something to drink when you check in. The salon is well kept and pretty big inside. Plenty of parking in the back with spots reserved for Limon customers. For those curious about pricing-my service was $540 read more

I booked a Luxe cut with Alyssa and had a fantastic time. I walked her through my hair care routine and she provided suggestions on how to improve. I felt heard every step of the way from wash, cut, to style. If there were any changes I wanted, she was receptive and followed through. I can't recommend Alyssa or this salon enough. read more

I got California blonde service with Vanessa. As promised the service took a bit over six hours, but it was totally worth it. I had ombré but wanted to have even hair color. Vanessa was able to make color look even. I like the salon overall, the staff is friendly and welcoming. read more

I went to Limon Salon with an inspiration photo and asked the stylist if my hair could realistically do that style. I have been going to this salon for years with a different stylist and have never had a bad experience until this time, which is why this was especially disappointing. Communication was not very clear, but at first the cut looked cute, just longer than what I had asked for. While I was still in the chair, I mentioned that I wanted it closer to the length of the photo, so she cut it shorter. After it was styled and curled, I realized it was still bouncing off my shoulders and not the length or shape I had asked for. I went back in and asked if it could be taken a little shorter, and they scheduled me for the next day, which I appreciated. When I returned, I again asked if my hair could do the inspiration photo and brought up whether a stacked shape might work better since my hair is very limp. I specifically said I did not want it super angled, and the stylist said they would not angle it like that. Unfortunately, once she started cutting, there was very little explanation of what she was doing. I thought she was creating the base shape and would add layers afterward, but by the time she got to the front, I realized she had cut off the longer front pieces I wanted to keep. The end result was not what I asked for. Instead of the soft, shaped, layered look from the photo, I ended up with a very blunt, straight, flat cut with no real layers or movement. I left feeling shocked and disappointed. I would have been okay with the original haircut being a little different from the photo, but after going back, I ended up with neither the inspiration cut nor the original version that had at least looked cute. Afterward, I emailed the contact for the manager to explain what happened. The response felt dismissive and honestly a little rude. I was basically told that I could not get a new haircut, which was confusing because I had asked the stylist beforehand whether my hair could do the style, and she never told me it could not or that the changes I wanted would create a totally different result. I was not upset because they could not magically give me a new haircut; I was upset because the communication was poor, the final result was not what I asked for, and the response afterward made me feel like I was being blamed for it. Overall, this was really upsetting because I have had good experiences at Limon Salon in the past. I wish there had been more communication before major changes were made, especially since I repeatedly asked whether my hair could achieve the inspiration style. The salon was nice about scheduling me to come back initially, but the final haircut did not match what I requested, and the follow-up made the experience feel even worse. read more

Limón Salon - Haircut gone wrong for $120 - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Coming back to write an update. How can I say I love this salon even more? Got my haircut by Angela 2 months ago and now came back for a complimentary bang trim. It's so nice to see the salon decorated for the holiday with the Christmas tree filled with teddy bears, adds to the warm ambiance. I was greeted by the front desk and they offered me a complimentary drink. I had a hazelnut coffee. Everything is so well done from start to finish, the experience is one all on its own. I also got some hair products that Angela introduced me to and gave me samples the first time I was here. I bought Innersense products for 20% in their Black Friday sale. I ordered them online and set them for pick up. Angela freshened up my hair and she noticed an improvement in my wavy hair and that's really all due to the tips she gave me when she did the curly haircut. She took her time in cutting the bangs and even styled it. She's so sweet and enjoys talking to you while you're in the chair. She's also very good at cutting wavy hair (hard to find someone who can do this well). Limon Salon just got voted the Best Salon in the Silicon Valley, and you can see why! Even though it took me 30 minutes to drive here in bad Bay Area traffic, it was worth it! I already scheduled my next curly haircut for the new year. read more

Limón Salon - Hair by Maura - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I always get my haircut done by Angela and have for the past two years! She has been incredible and fixed my hair. I initially came to this salon after having a botched haircut and bad hair treatment that left me with damage. I consistently saw Angela several times a year and we were able to get my hair back to its usual state! I am so happy with not just her but the quality of this salon as well. I always recommend them to my family and friends. read more

I will be coming again! read more

Limón Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

From start to finish, I had an amazing experience! I walked in and was immediately greeted by Reese (I hope I got her name right!). She was so friendly, welcoming, and offered me refreshments and snacks while helping me get checked in. Then Maura came out and took me back. Since it was my first visit, she sat down with me and took the time to go over any questions or concerns I had. She examined my hair and suggested a couple of products that she felt would help improve its condition. I appreciated her expertise and decided to give them a try. Next, we headed to the shampoo area, and OMG--can I just say that was the best shampoo and scalp massage I've ever had! It was incredibly relaxing and felt like such a treat. To top it all off, I absolutely loved my haircut and blow-dry. Maura did an amazing job, and I left feeling refreshed, confident, and excited about my hair. I highly recommend this salon and can't wait to come back! read more

This is my first time going to this salon and hands down absolutely love this salon. I got layered hair with light wispy bangs with 90s inspiration on my straight-wavy mid length hair and it looks amazing. I went home and the next day when I showered it looked so good even unstyled. I went to Kimi! and she provided such good service and complimentary drinks and a fun conversation! So friendly and my hair smells so good! Im excited to come back again soon :) read more

I have curly hair and I tried the salon for the first time today and I absolutely loved my curly cut by Abri. She did an outstanding job on my cut and style. She is very personable, knowledgeable and professional. I just really can't say enough about the entire staff and how friendly attentive and caring they all are. From the moment I walked in I felt spoiled and taken care of. From the delicious strawberry matcha that was hand made with real cream to my beautiful curly cut and style! What a treat!! I will recommend them and continue going back for more services in the future!! I would give them 10 out of 5 stars!! read more

Limón Salon - Women's Haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Karla was very friendly and did an amazing job with my hair. The place is very nice and welcoming.

I have been going to Limon Salon since November of 2024, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. After countless hours of research and wanting to find a place which knows how to deal with curly hair, I found Limon. I bookmarked it on Yelp and counted the days to my very first appointment. & wow, it did not disappoint. To begin, the salon itself is wonderful, the space and vibe is extremely welcoming. Everyone is kind, and always offering drinks or light snacks which is a sweet touch... I highly, highly recommend Karla! She has always done such an extraordinary job with my hair, and is super knowledgeable of what we can do with it since I am always wanting to try a new shade of red at almost every appointment. When I arrived for my very first appointment, my hair was DARK BROWN! She took my Inspo images, and landed it in the most stunning hair color I have ever had in my life. Not only that, but she has also done an incredible job with cutting and layering my hair. I have very thick, curly hair, like... a lot of hair, so it had always been a struggle for me to find someone who knew how to cut it. She puts so much attention into every detail, making sure we both love and are happy with the end result. I've always been more than satisfied with every appointment we've had, and I think Limon Salon is definitely the place you should go. If you've been thinking about it, let me tell you, it's soo worth it! read more

My hair was poorly colored by a different salon and i came to limon for consultation. Alyssa was assigned to me and she was very thorough in dealing with the issue. She not only gave me step by step plan for how to resolve the issue, but also kept in mind my hair quality and hair health. Definitely will recommend this place !! read more

I've come back twice more since my last review, so wanted to update this! My last two sessions were with Alyssa. HAIRCUT: I had a lovely haircut by Alyssa in April, and my results are still stellar in August. The layers are visibly present, the hair feels healthy and light. I'm really impressed and already have my next haircut booked with her in October! SERVICE: She's great at making conversation, chatting, and making you feel welcome in her chair. I felt very pampered and relaxed throughout both sessions. CUSTOMIZATION: The best part about Alyssa, for me, was her attentiveness. I was experiencing a scalp issue this summer so I reached out to her on Instagram. She was able to design a treatment for me that felt wonderful and has really helped fix some issues with my hair. She also gave me samples to take home and overall gave a lot of attention to my issue. I'm really grateful to have found Alyssa! read more

I had the pleasure of seeing Kimi yesterday, and I can confidently say she is one of the most honest and genuine hair specialists I've ever encountered. From the moment I sat in her chair, I could tell she wasn't just another stylist looking to make a quick sale--she genuinely cared about the health of my hair and my overall experience, both inside the salon and after I walked out the door. Over the years, I've had many salon experiences where stylists were quick to tell me everything was fine--even when my hair was clearly thinning or falling out more than it should have been. They'd reassure me it was "normal" and proceed with dyes, highlights, bleach--whatever I requested--without truly considering the long-term damage. Unfortunately, I'd often leave those appointments thinking everything was okay, only to experience even more hair loss in the weeks that followed. It became a cycle of frustration, regret, and emotional stress, especially as a woman who simply wanted to feel confident and look her best. But Kimi was different. She took the time to assess the condition of my hair thoroughly, asked questions, and listened to my concerns with compassion and empathy. She acknowledged the hair loss I was experiencing and, instead of brushing it off or suggesting a treatment that could worsen it, she was upfront with me: chemical processing at this time could do more harm than good. She explained everything clearly and gave thoughtful recommendations to help restore my hair's health before considering anything more aggressive. That honesty meant everything to me. Kimi wasn't focused on making a sale--she was focused on building trust. She understood, woman to woman, how deeply personal and emotional hair loss can be. We all want to look and feel good, and hair plays such a huge role in that. She didn't minimize my concerns or try to upsell me on expensive treatments. She made me feel seen, heard, and respected--something that's surprisingly rare in the beauty industry. I told her I'd follow her advice and try the products and strategies she recommended. Once my hair feels stronger and healthier, I'll absolutely be back to see her. It's not easy to find someone in this industry who leads with integrity and honesty, but Kimi does--and that alone speaks volumes about her professionalism and character. When someone cares more about your well-being than your wallet, you know you've found a real gem. I left that salon feeling hopeful and empowered, not just about my hair but about finally having found someone I can trust. If you're looking for a stylist who genuinely has your best interest at heart, I cannot recommend Kimi enough. She is thoughtful, knowledgeable, honest, and kind--qualities that make her not only a talented hair specialist but also a truly compassionate professional. Thank you, Kimi, for being a rare light in this industry. I'm so grateful I found you, and I look forward to coming back when the time is right. read more

I have been here twice in the past 4 months to get haircuts by Vanesa and I have absolutely loved the outcome each time!!

I have been coming to Limón salon for the past 4 years, and although I'm sure all the stylists are talented and great in their own way, Destiny is the only person I trust with my hair, and I've booked her consistently since I've been coming to this salon. Beyond her talent, Destiny is incredibly kind, always has the best topics to talk about, and I always leave the appointment satisfied with the overall service! The salon itself has a welcoming atmosphere. Everyone is friendly, professional, and I feel comfortable the moment I walk in (shoutout to the front desk workers too). The space is beautiful, clean, and always smells amazing. I HIGHLY recommend booking Destiny if you're looking to try this place, you won't be disappointed! :) read more

I'll definitely be back to see Abri because she's the best! read more

The salon was very clean, and I felt very comfortable. They also offer complimentary drinks and snacks, which I thought was a lovely touch. read more

I needed a new haircut badly, and a friend of mine recommended a stylist here. It was easy to book an appointment online. If booking an appointment with a credit card, there is a 3.5% fee. No fee with a debit card. Checking in was easy. Walk up to a tablet and enter your name. There's a small waiting room with product for sale along the walls and a couch that could seat 3. The vibe doesn't feel uppity or snobbish, which is refreshing for someone like me. My stylist was very attentive and asked questions to give me haircut ideas. She put some products in my hair to deal with my dry scalp before shampooing and conditioning my hair. After about an hour and a half, she was done with my hair, and I couldn't have been happier. Destiny is probably the best stylist I've had! Oh, and they offer all kinds of beverages from water to tequila! Highly recommend your next do here! read more
