    Haircut gone wrong for $120

    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.

    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.

    Maura did AMAZING on my hair. It finally feels healthy, light, and full of life again instead of heavy and weighed down. She understood exactly what I wanted and the results were even better than I expected. I'm seriously obsessed with my hair now

    My sister put me on this salon & this was my first time getting a service done here and I loved it! Staff are so sweet and friendly & I had the pleasure of being styled by Kimi- super sweet, kind, and will make sure you're happy with your hair :)

    Angela is amazing!! She's very kind and easygoing and she did a beautiful curly cut with bangs for me. Best haircut I've ever gotten!

    don't mind my face lol but i looove my hair!! kimi did so good!

    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 :)

I used to visit this salon when Kim worked here, and she was always friendly, welcoming, and did a great job cutting my hair. Unfortunately, my recent experience was completely different. This time, I wasn't able to make an appointment in advance, so I walked in. A hairstylist asked whether I had an appointment or was a walk-in. When I told her I was a walk-in, she abruptly told me they couldn't accommodate me. What bothered me was not that they were unable to take me, but the way it was communicated. She didn't ask what service I needed, offer any alternatives, or suggest making an appointment for another day. The salon normally closes at 7:00 PM, and it appeared there was still time before closing, so I was left wondering why I couldn't be helped. I used to bring my kids here for haircuts, and the atmosphere was never like this before. Sadly, this experience left me feeling that the staff does not value or know how to treat customers respectfully. Based on this visit, I am very disappointed and will think twice before returning.

    I booked an appointment with Cindy about a month in advance after seeing great reviews and that she…read morespecializes in blonde transformations. I'm very picky with my hair and have been blonde for over a decade, so finding a reliable stylist in the Bay after moving from OC was important to me. Unfortunately, the scheduling process was frustrating. The website was confusing if you don't know the exact service names and kept logging me out, so I had to restart multiple times. Communication was also difficult,I had to follow up more than once and even call just to confirm my appointment. The day before, I was told Cindy had an emergency and needed to reschedule. I understand things happen, but I had seen similar reviews mentioning cancellations. We rescheduled, but I ended up getting sick and had to cancel. Getting my deposit back required multiple follow-ups, and I was initially refunded the wrong amount, which I had to correct. They were really apologetic which I appreciated. I can't speak to the actual quality of the hair services, but from a scheduling and communication standpoint, it was a hassle. Since I know I'll need consistent, ongoing appointments as a blonde, I'm really looking for somewhere with easy, reliable booking. Unfortunately, this experience felt too difficult, so I'll keep looking for other options!
