Always cuts my hair the way I want. If you're a guy in pinole or in the area, check her out. You won't be disappointed. She learns and remembers your style and she's not going anywhere like the haircutters at the corporate salons that you break in then they leave! read more

I've been postponing this for almost two years now, but I'm finally getting around to writing my review for Lisa! First off, I just wanted to say that it was very easy to communicate with her. I was able to text her what I wanted-to dye my hair. Although my hair was bleached and created patchy areas for her to work with, Lisa managed to help my hair look super nice! While working on my hair, she was very communicative. She told me what was possible for my hair because I originally asked for a lighter color, but that wouldn't have worked since my hair was darker then. Not only that, but she worked with my already damaged hair and made sure not to damage it even more! Throughout the process, she talked to me about what she was going to do and had a conversation with me. At other places, the hair dressers are often quiet so this was a pleasant change for me. I haven't booked another appointment yet, but I would definitely come back when time permitting and whenever I have enough cash! (: read more

Lisa's Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Pinole, California

It's been 2 years and we're still regulars (but now fiancé's!). Her abilities are top notch and I can't recommend her enough! She's also extremely pleasant to talk to! We love you Lisa! Thank you for all the hair cuts!! read more

I showed her 2 pictures very similar one with more blonde. I wanted a very light cream orange with blonde. My hair was so dark and m like a mermaid with the worse blonde streaks! Which I made sooo clear I did not want. I posted a pic on my FB and said it's darker then I wanted. A friend was gibing me advise on how to fix it. Lisa got so offended by my friends helping me and claimed it was an attack on her! She was hurt and she is a professional and on and on. She cared more about that post than fixing my hair and how upset I was. We agreed to meet up and get it fixed, she never showed up. Just gave me a refund. And went on and kn about FB again. We'll that was nothing. This is something. You screwed my hair up. It is the worst color ive ever seen and you should be ashamed!!​ read more

What a local gem! This is honestly one of the best color/cut services I have had in years. My brown hair is medium long with layers and some subtle highlights. I decided to give this hair studio a chance since I was dying to find a good place near to me. Lisa was awesome! I went in to get a clean-up (few inches cut off), to get some color to cover up some grays near my hairline, and to get some blondish highlights to give my hair some depth, especially for the wavy hairlocks that frame my face. Lisa listened to everything I asked for and delivered. If I wasn't so shy, I'd post a selfie. You'll just have to take the word of this happy customer. She is very easy to talk to and fun to chat with. Getting to the salon was easy and parking is a few feet from the front door. It was also nice to see that she disinfected the service area after each customer. It was a great experience all around. Thanks Lisa! read more

I love the way Lisa cuts my hair. It's by appointment only so no walk ins. But keep her number on hand and ask if she has any cancellations maybe she will be able to squeeze you in. She's fun to talk to and she knows what she is doing. I highly recommend her so check her out. read more

Let's just say my best friend and I found ourselves THEE hairdresser! I never review anything, but this place really deserves 5 stars and a review for Lisa's QUALITY (not to mention super-affordable: $15) haircuts! Although this place was located in a somewhat deserted area, the inside of the salon is very clean & cute. It's hard to find someone you trust with your hair, especially for us ladies. Lisa not only has an amazing down-to-earth and fun personality, but she really listens to and understands exactly what you want, and doesn't go crazy with your hair (unless you want her to, I guess)! I wanted to keep my long waist-length hair but add more layers and volume, and she did exactly that (and she even curled my whole head to show me how my hair would look with beach waves). My best friend, who had shoulder-length hair LOVED her haircut too. Lisa really spent the time to texturize and layer her hair, and it came out super cute! She really works with what you want. This was our first time here, but my best friend and I definitely plan on coming back! I may try getting some full coloring/highlights done (quoted: $70). Thank you again for doing such an amazing job, Lisa! Definitely check out her Facebook page for more pictures & info: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lisas-Hair-Studio/276010749109903 read more

Lisa's Hair Studio - My waist-length layered haircut! Thanks again, Lisa! :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Pinole, California

Finally! A hairstylist close by and does an amazing job!! I never would of thought there would be such a little gem close by. Lisa is a great & sweet person, she listens to what her clients want and the final results are amazing. I've been searching for a hairstylist quite some time now to do a colored ombre with beautiful coloring and without being TOO damaging. Everywhere I searched usually tells me my hair is too dark or someone I tried...the color only lasted days to a week =(. I def recommend her for those who wants to do fun colors, she's great! read more

Lisa's Hair Studio - Mermaid hair ^_^ fun ombre! - Hair Salons Near Me - Pinole, California

I messaged Lisa on Facebook and received a response from her very quickly. She did not have any openings for hair appointments so I told her I am willing to take her cancellations last minute. A few days later, she had an opening and tI was able to get an appointment for a month away. I arrived at her salon and was greeted right away. Lisa's salon is very clean. She finished up with another customer before my appointment time started. She shampoo washed my hair first, than asked me what I wanted. I pulled out my phone and showed get my Pinterest pins of hair I liked. When she finished, it looked just like the pictures I showed her! From shampooing to blow drying, it was an hour total. I loooove my haircut! I scheduled a trim plus hair color appointment in a month an half and I am looking forward to it! read more

It's 11:56pm and I suddenly realized that I have yet to write a review for Lisa despite going to her exclusively for YEARS. Obviously, I needed to remedy that immediately, so here I am. I'll keep this relatively short because when it comes down to it, you don't really need to know anything more than the fact that Lisa excels at what she does and does so with an effortlessly upbeat and amiable personality. Honestly, I've gone to her since my early college days and naturally, she has seen me through my many different phases (I even spontaneously tried curtain bangs for the first time during today's appointment despite knowing that I have a wedding to go to in a couple weeks and now isn't a great time to experiment), which is a testament to how much I trust her to work her magic and make the latest trend that has piqued my interest into a reality. Despite often choosing a style on a whim or going into the haircut based on her suggestions alone, I've never left an appointment feeling short of ecstatic and oh so grateful that I have my go-to for all things hair-related. Furthermore, it amazes me that she is able to time all of her appointments so perfectly, unfailingly providing me with my dream haircut in less than 30 minutes at such an affordable price. TLDR; if you want to trust your hair with someone who knows what she's doing, keeps all of your concerns and ideas in mind, and treats you like a valued client at a steal of a price, look no further than Lisa. I promise you, you won't ever regret it! read more

Still with Lisa! I've seen her for years!!! I keep things low key, especially since I am trying to grow my hair. I swear, if I realllllly needed it, I bet she could trim my mid-back length hair in less than 20 minutes. She's so kind, personable while I'm awkward lol, I appreciate her honesty in life and hair! read more

I can't speak for her work but she lacks at customer service. Why put your number if when people text you if your taking new clients you don't even have to least bit of ability to text back if you are or aren't taking new clients. Not very good customer service. read more

I recently moved to San Pablo and wanted a stylist who is close to me. I was a little nervous about the color being right and happily Lisa did an amazing job. She cut my hair exactly as I ask, and did it all in just over an hour. Her rate is very reasonable so I'll be back as soon as the grey starts to show. read more

I don't require much maintenance, but I can't imagine Lisa being any less accommodating, attentive, and professional with those who do request services other than my simple cuts. Conversations are always great, customer service excellent, and I always leave happy with getting exactly what I asked for. Thanks, Lisa! read more

I am giving this place the two stars simply for one fact. I called today to inquire about getting a haircut because of the rave reviews I see here on yelp. The pictures of the clients cuts and dye jobs look amazing and I was in dire need of a great hairstylist that I currently do not have. I called today and spoke with Lisa. She didn't come across too friendly on the phone at all. I asked if I was able to come in for a cut, sure it was last minute but still. I told her I found her on Yelp and how I noticed the great reviews. She didn't even acknowledge what I said. All she told me was that she's booked for the next two weeks. There was no effort to ask what type of cut I was looking for and if I was interested in booking something within the next two weeks; or no notion of her attempting to "check" and see if she can squeeze me in. Plain rude and standoffish. I guess she has too many clients and didn't want to take me on........ I can tell by the pictures of the clients here that she does an amazing job but she needs to be friendly on the phone. I will not be calling back to schedule anything there for the experience I had on the phone with her. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Too bad given the fact that I am an excellent tipper. read more

Just might make this my regular spot now. I'm the type of person to just get hair cuts out of the blue, and I came upon this place from yelp reviews (which is like literally 7 minutes from my bf's house definitely a plus ). I literally went through every review, yes I'm that scared of coming out like a poodle, that i triple check who I'm letting touch my hair! All I saw was big ups and positives. So I gave it a shot.... Small cozy environment, easy parking, NO wait just stepped in and she started. She was very friendly!! And her prices are really great too. My hair is super thick, but she maintain to keep it how I like it while taking the dead ends out and adding a little style. Definitely satisfied with my visit and coming back. read more

I'm a hair snob. Fine, I'm not really a snob. BUT I really like good haircuts, and it's been a slight while since I had one. The last haircut I got was too blunt and I looked like Dora the Explorer. I went over to Lisa's Hair Salon because 1) it's totally affordable, 2) Lisa LISTENS to what you want, and 3) the reviews so far have been great! I have to say I was beyond impressed with my haircut, it cost me $12 thanks to a special two day offer, all I did was tell her what I wanted and I got exactly that. I'm so excited to color and or get highlights! Come here if you want a good cut and hair experience! read more

Lisa is tha bomb! I have curly long hair and Lisa listened to exactly how I wanted my hair cut - in and out in an HOUR (shampoo, cut, blow dry and flatiron!!) That has never happened in my years of getting my hair done. She is friendly, personable and a skilled stylist. I love my hair, my haircut was long overdue - I kept holding out til I could find the right person and well my search is over....thank you Lisa!!! read more

I told Lisa I'd wait a few days before I review... but I just can't! :) I went to Lisa to get a blonde ombre effect done to my hair. I've never ever done any drastic dyeing to my hair before. The moment I walked into the door to the moment I left, Lisa was amazingly accommodating and friendly. We discussed a few details of the process and she immediately got started. This process took more than an hour, but it certainly didn't feel that way. She's so easy to talk to and I found myself having a few good laughs. :) She's also super understanding about any concerns and will even warn you about concerns you may have, which just dissolved all worry I had in general. She knows her stuff. Just trust her. And of course, my hair looks great! I love it. Love love love. And before, I swore never to go blonde or any variation of the sort. I'm so glad I went to Lisa for this first experience. Everything turned out perfect. :) Oh yeah, she also takes credit/debit! She can't change the yelp information to say that, haha. :) read more

Lisa is cute, bubbly, skilled, and completely affordable. 'Nuff said. You're probably expecting me to end the review at that, but having found a hidden gem, it's hard for me not to gush a little bit. Seriously, she was fun to chat with during the haircut and the results are more than satisfactory. The layers she put in came out nicely and I have a feeling it'll grow out nicely as well, but at the price she's charging I might just be uncharacteristic of myself and go back more often than I have to! read more

I've been trying to look for a good local hair salon to trim my hair. I tried a hair salon down the street from Lisa's a few months back and totally failed my expectations. Made me wait for almost 30-45 minutes and did a crappy job in trimming my bangs. Lisa did a really good job in trimming my bangs and hair. She explained how she was going to trim my hair, gave options and suggested the best option for my hair type since it's fine. Lisa is very friendly, easy to talk to and hair cut prices are affordable. Looking forward to my next haircut with Lisa. read more

Lisa is awesome. Her prices are affordable and she does a great job. Her hours make it difficult for me to come in for a haircut because I start work before she opens and get off after she's closed, BUT she did say she could work with my schedule if I just called her and made an appointment. How awesome is that? If you keep tabs on the Lisa's Hair Studio Facebook page, you can see when she has specials. read more

I came in to Lisa's Hair Salon looking for a dramatic change. Prior to our appt., I sent her a pic of the cut I was wanting. She was agreeable and we both decided to go with it. I also explained to her that my hair has a hard time grabbing color and highlighting so she planned our appointment allowing for extra time to accomidate this. I've told many hair stylists this in the past have been sorely disappointed when the color does not hold after that first wash in the salon bowl or the highlights are barely noticeable. But Lisa was different. She really listened to my "hair issues" and adjusted the products accordingly. It's been nearly 2 weeks and I can't express how much I LOVE the color!!! This is definitely one of the best styles I've EVER had! I only wished she could be my regular hairstylist but unfortunately, I just happened to visit her salon on a visit back to CA. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone! Her prices are very reasonable and her location is ideally located just off a main road in Pinole. And her salon is adorable and inviting. Lisa is an absolute gem and I really enjoyed my time there. it's been nearly two weeks and I'm still loving this new look! Here is a before/after look... courtesy of Lisa! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=357859204258390&set=t.1530922613&type=3&theater read more

OMG! I LOVE Lisa. This is my second review and I am happy to see she is getting business. That's what happens when you are great at what you do and that's exactly what she is! I live in LA and going to Pinole is worth the trip - I always look forward to getting my hair done by her. She gives me great advice and works with the whacky ideas I have for my hair - WHILE making sure to help me keep my locks lovely. She did awesome with my hair and I'm so in love. She is THEE HAIRDRESSER to go to! MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS PEOPLE! I tried to take my brother to do a walk in and she does get busy but she's honest. She'll tell you when she's busy and will try to schedule an appointment with you ASAP. I was surprised she was willing to do 8AM. We all didn't wanna sit there and wait so being an early bird was fine;my brother is very happy with his cut. She's affordable even if her prices went up a little last time I went but I don't think I'll ever complain. Love you Lisa! Thanks so much for the great job! read more

Excellent service, friendly, considerate and a great stylist. Great with cuts as well as color. I love the fact it's a one stylist shop and she works quickly and efficiently, mindful of your time. Price extremely reasonable, I highly recommend. read more

I found Lisa on Yelp searching for someone who could do a good ombre color job. After reading the reviews, checking out the pictures and trying her out for myself.... I absolutely love my cut and color job! I have definitely found my new stylist! Lisa's fun and engaging personality makes the time go by fast and her extensive 10 year experience definitely shines through her work! I'll be back for my trim in a few months! Thanks, Lisa! read more

Lisa's Hair Studio - Ombre hair color and long layers. Love it! - Hair Salons Near Me - Pinole, California

Lisa is as sweet as she is convenient! Walked in on a Saturday afternoon with my daughter who wanted her hair cut in a bad way. Lisa was busy with a client but was happy to fit my daughter in if we could come back in an hour. GREAT! That we did and my daugher walked out super happy with her cut and I walked out even happier without a dent in my wallet. Wow, I don't know anywhere else that you could get such great service with some smiles and laughter thrown in. Thank you Lisa, we'll be back! read more

Lisa was great! I was referred to her by a friend and since my current hair dresser was raising prices & was always booked at Rage Salon in Campbell I decided to try her out. Was super happy with the result. She Listened to what I wanted, She was flexible with my time to come in & is very reasonable priced, I live in the south bay and will probably have to schedule my appointments weeks in advanced but it will be worth it! Thank's Lisa for the great cut & color! read more

First off I want to start by saying "THANK YOU LISA" your a doll!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was happy when I left the salon. I read all the reviews on Yelp and yes they ARE CORRECT! you are a hidden Gem. Loved your CLEAN salon. You carry yourself very professional, and I love how you listen to your customers needs. I will be back!! Thanks for taking off a few years, getting rid of those stubborn grays. See you in a few weeks! ~ Violet read more

I love lOvE LOVE Lisa! Not only is she great with hair, she's got a wonderful personality! I have never been to a hairdresser who's so good with color, especially ombre. I found Lisa on Yelp over a year ago and thank my lucky stars I did...she's absolutely amazing! You will NOT be disappointed!! :) read more

Lisa's Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Pinole, California

I was on yelp trying to find a good hair salon. I have only gone to Oakland but it's a trip to get there, other than Oakland, I would only get my hair trimmed when I am in Montreal, Quebec because I found a place there that I loved but they always cut more than I want them to! I have very thin hair so I wanted layers then I found Lisa's which is like 10 minutes from my house! I made an appointment for my sister then Lisa had a cancellation so I went in. She really listened and only cut as much as I agreed to because she understood how important the length was to me which is why I've been avoiding my long over due haircut because I loved my long hair. Because my hair was pretty dead at the ends, I had to take some off but it is still a good length and the layers made my hair look fuller too! I was out of there in 30 minutes ! My sister absolutely loved hers! She usually get hers layered by my mom but now I don't think my mom needs to do it for her anymore. She went a little shorter than I thought she would but she loves it so whatever makes her happy. Lisa is also very friendly and nice and in no rush but does a great job! Also, the price is great! Thank you Lisa, we will surely be going back when our next trim is due! read more

Lisa is the bomb-diggity!!! I went to her after deciding I'd had enough of dealing with sub-par hair care at another local salon less than a mile away from her. She listens to what you want, her hair skills/techniques are current, and she is super friendly. In terms of color she is also just as fabulous!!! I sent my mom there after seeing pictures of some of her color clients. The woman my mother was getting her hair colored by was awful!! At times she would come home with fire red or purple hair (she wanted dark brunette). Thanks to Lisa my mothers hair is now consistently one color and each time she gets is touched up or re-dyed it looks the same!!! read more

I've been coming to Lisa for over a year now. She is simply THE BEST! I'm so glad I found her. I remember when she was just starting her business and advertising her hair salon. I thought "hmmm...Pinole, local, young, full of energy? I'll give her a try". Boy, oh, boy am I glad I did! Thanks Lisa for being awesome at what you do! I have now become a life long customer! :) read more

Ms. Lisa is awesome. She's very sweet and accommodating. I have tried other salons and she is the best stylist I have ever met so far. She is an expert when it comes to hair color. This is the first time I went to her salon & I would definitely keep on coming back! I just so love my hair color. Thanks again for making my hair beautiful, you did a very good job! read more

After not having much success with finding a nice, cheap place to get a men's haircut, I decided to go to Lisa's Hair Studio based off of a friend's recommendation. Boy was I glad I did. Lisa was very friendly and her studio is nicely renovated on the inside. She did a great job with a high fade on the sides and blending it in with the top. Not only that, but her prices are some of the best in the Bay Area. For any guys looking for a nice haircut without spending an arm and a leg, I'd highly recommend dropping the chains (Sports Clips, Great Clips, etc.) and switching over to Lisa. read more

LISA is the BEST! I found her on yelp and gave her a try because for (1) super close to my house, (2) tired of going to my spot in SF, and (3) the reviews on yelp. SHE IS SUPER COOL! First and foremost I love my haircuts. They always look exactly how I envision it. It is also cool talking to her. Very personable and engaged the whole time. It is always a good experience but most importantly the haircuts are always on point. I recently took my wife and SHE LOVED her haircut. Looks like we both will start going there now and now my mother-in-law wants to give her a try. read more

Lisa is a ROCK STAR. I found her through Yelp, and when I saw how many good reviews she had, I thought it was too good to be true, but I scheduled an appointment because my normal hair dresser is crazy expensive. I went in for a cut and a color change and it went great. Her prices are reasonable, she's got a fantastic personality, and really knows her stuff. She was honest with me about what cut would work and what colors worked (my hair is dark brown) with my natural hair color (as in, which ones would show) without having to bleach it. I also made an appointment for my mom and she rocked my mom's haircut and did an awesome job with the color too. My brother also went and YES, she cut his hair just the way we wanted it. Will definitely continue to go see her in the future. She's fantastic. read more

I have finally found my forever Hair Stylist! If you're looking for a stylist that won't give you false expectations, then Lisa is your lady! She isn't gonna tell you that you will leave her salon looking exactly like the picture you brought in. She will let you know that it may take multiple sessions to get what you truly want. I texted Lisa to make sure that she was accepting new clients since some reviews stated that she was not. Luckily, she was! Her schedule is flexible, but she does have a regular clientele, so she books up quickly! She did an excellent job on my hair, she was very sweet and I felt very comfortable with her. She's honest about pricing-she can't give you an exact quote until she sees what she's working with and what needs to be done. Thank you for making me beautiful again, Lisa! read more

I started seeing Lisa in 2012. I thought she was great and her prices were very reasonable. I always tipped well, at least 40% - sometimes more. I was understanding that I typically had to wait at least two weeks for an appointment, sometimes longer. I was OK with that. What got me after a couple years of using her services was the fact that I had to call 2 - 3 times to get her to return my call to schedule an appointment. It seemed to me she took advantage of the fact that she is good at what she does and seemed to have more clients that she could managed. I decided after two years of playing "chase Lisa" I needed to take my business to someone who wanted it. I am not at all surprised by the reviews here. She is good at doing hair, but not so great in the customer service department. read more

Lisa is the absolute best! She is the only person I truly trust with my hair! I have been going to her for years now, and even though I moved about an hour away, I still make the trip down to see her. Not only is her work great, but her pricing is amazing as well. On top of that, she is a great person; very personable and easy to talk to! read more
