    Golnoush S.

    FRAUD ALERT: This review is for the new management of this salon and everyone looking to do the Magic Sleek Treatment. I am a former Farzana client. I had a flawless Magic Sleek treatment here 3 years ago, which is why I returned and paid $450 for the same service on June 6th, 2026. Before booking, the new management told me they could do the treatment "as good as Farzana, if not better." That confidence was completely unearned. The botched treatment: Within 2 days it was obvious something had gone seriously wrong. My hair was a patchwork of straight and curly sections, exactly the opposite of what a Magic Sleek treatment is supposed to achieve. It was frizzy, dull, and completely lacked the shine and uniformity the treatment delivers when done correctly. This wasn't a minor imperfection. The treatment was performed incorrectly, plain and simple. These stylists do not know how to do it. The refund fraud: I reported the issue with photos immediately. Management (someone who introduced himself as Md, the owner) reviewed my photos (which I sent 30 minutes after our initial call ended on June 14, 2026), acknowledged the problem, and verbally promised me a full refund on a call on June 15th, 2026. He said: "You have my word" and asked for a two week window for the refund after he assessed the photos. He then collected my credit card's last 4 digits to process the refund. What followed was over two weeks of deliberate stalling: - They first pushed a redo appointment, which I declined (I had no interest in letting incompetent stylists touch my hair a second time) - They then demanded an in-person evaluation, despite having already agreed to assess via photos and knowing I don't live nearby - When I pressed for a refund date, they claimed they "could not verify when the photos were taken" accusing me of submitting fake evidence after they had asked me to send photos. Please keep in mind, I sent all the original photos to them, meaning attached to the photos is the metadata including THE EXACT date and time the photos were taken. - They then completely reversed their position: "all sales are final, no refund" This is not a miscommunication. This is a deliberate pattern: make a promise to silence a complaining customer, collect their card details, delay long enough that they hope you give up, then hide behind a no-refund policy they never disclosed when making the verbal commitment. That is fraud. The bottom line: This management cannot perform the treatments they charge $450 for, and when they ruin your hair, they will string you along with broken promises rather than make it right. The star rating on this page is a ghost of a salon that no longer exists. Do not be deceived by it.

    Farzana is very nice and knowledgeable and made my visits to her salon, something I looked forward to. Her experience and expertise are invaluable. She understands how to bring forth the best look for her client. I look forward to using her services again.

    She's such an angel! After having my hair bleached off at a different salon I was so sad and hopeless I had short bright pieces in my hair but she added extensions and seamlessly blended them into my hair and now it looks amazing. I'm super happy with the results and will definitely be back and highly recommend her services to anyone!

    Wig topper
    Briana J.

    Farzana was very helpful with selecting a wig topper. She also color matched and it styled it to fit my hair. I was nervous as this is my first time using anything like a wig topper and she was very informative and kind. It looks just like a part of my hair. Highly recommend.

She was recommended to me by a friend and still today, I wouldn't even think to go to anyone else! I can count on Mariola to work her wizardry every time I come in for a cut. I remember her telling me one day, that each time she cuts my hair, it might be just a tad bit different. She looks at my face, the current length. She asks questions, even today...were the bangs too long last time? Do want this part shorter, etc? She takes to a haircut, the way an artist might take to a canvas and she enjoys the process. It may take a little longer to finish, but she's a perfectionist and I'm totally okay with that. The finished look is always bright and refreshing. She is up with trends, and yet knows all the classic styles as well. Being an artist myself, I let her do whatever she wants with my hair. She truly loves to create something great and she does, every time! My friends and family are still commenting on my cute haircut. I happily tell them, Mariola is still doing my hair! She's even able to work with gobs of white strands, making it look cool to be older and not coloring my hair. We joke about that...maybe someday I will. Also, Mariola is just a sweet, wonderful person. We chat about anything and everything and I always learn something from her. Thanks Mariola, for 21 years of great hair!!! If you're searching for your own refreshing new look, set-up an appt with Mariola!

The girl who did my color just didn't do what I wanted. And I could hear her dismay when she pulled out my foils in the sink. I was left uncomfortably in the sink for about 30 minutes while she tried to discreetly consult with the owner about how to remedy the situation. The issue was I wanted to be blonde! I was there for a color correction. But instead of tipping out my ends, she just did regular highlights, leaving out the ends instead of foiling the whole length of the strands. The stylist seemed rushed because she hadn't allowed herself sufficient time for my appointment so at the end, my hair cut was rushed and not what I wanted. I did come in for a 10- minute appointment prior to my actual appointment for the stylist to meet me and find out what I wanted to do and honestly I should've known then it wasn't going to go well...she basically said there wouldn't be enough time for her to make me blonde in one appointment but that she would try? She would do her best...yikes...I made the appointment anyway hoping...but her lack of confidence in "having time" doing something that's pretty routine in most salons, should have been a red flag. Fast forward...I went to a different salon in Los Altos a couple months later and they did EXACTLY what I wanted. In a single appointment. No qualms. No issues. Did it take 6 hours? Yes. But the stylist had allotted the time, knowing it would be a long appointment. The problem at Therapy was the stylist essentially left me still looking brunette but with highlights. And that wasn't what I wanted. I still paid and gave a 15-20% tip and smiled and thanked them. Because I didn't look awful. I just didn't get the service I paid for. I tried to like my hair. But in the end I was disappointed. I thought I was going to have a flawless experience because it is an Aveda concept salon. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.

I asked for a rounded haircut with lots of layers and face-framing pieces and I showed her my inspo photos as well. She first washed my hair and then got started on the cut. Yessenia did an amazing job! She was friendly and professional and gave me exactly what I requested. I wasn't sure whether to go with lighter or heavier curtain bangs/face-framing pieces, and she knew exactly what would suit me when she suggested sticking with lighter face framing. She also somehow managed to style my frizzy Indian hair perfectly without using much tension on the brush, which was shocking to me.

Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who really knows what they're doing, actually listens, and creates an amazing overall experience.

Yet he was not even able to cut the edge in a straight line. Please see attached photo. As you can see, it is very choppy and uneven. At the end, I had to point out that he missed cutting strands of hairs which had a 2 inch difference. Second, he was very rough. I've never had a hair cut that felt so uncomfortable! It felt like he was raking the comb through my hair. He pressed the back of the scissors blade against my neck roughly. Also, he would push my head around. A couple times he put his fingers on my face, not my scalp, to push my head around. Third, he did not secure the hair cut cape. It was very loose so the hair would fall down the back of my shirt. At the end of the hair cut he took off the cape and then reached down the back of my shirt to scoop hair out with his hand!! I felt very uncomfortable because of this action. By the way, I want to mention his gender does not matter here. I would equally feel uncomfortable if a woman put her hand down my shirt. It was only a couple inches but I really felt like this was not necessary at all! He then blow dried under my shirt. Why did he blow hair down my shirt?! I had to untuck my shirt out of my dress later to get rid of hair on my back. I paid 50 dollars for this hair cut and left a 5 dollar tip because of this horrible experience. I will not come back and get my hair fixed at a different salon. The only good thing I can say is that he was nice. But I didn't pay for that; I payed for a decent hair cut which I did not receive. I left feeling really miserable.

I know how thin & stubborn my hair can be & am almost certain no stylist can ever blow dry any curls in my hair without tools...but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and made an appointment anyway because it was a last minute decision.

They were taken right away, which I appreciated, but the issue came with my service. When I arrived, I was told they only had 45 minutes for my blowout. At no point did anyone clearly say, "We won't be able to complete your full service." Had that been communicated, I would have chosen to go home and style my own hair and let my daughters compete their service, especially since I had a very important event to attend. Instead, they had me sit down and proceeded with a wash and a quick blow-dry, with no styling, no volume, and essentially no finished look. I ended up with flat, unfinished hair and lost an hour of my time. This was extremely frustrating, especially on a day that mattered so much to me. Clear communication is all I needed and is extremely important for business when people rely on you to help make their day a lil lighter. I would not have gone through with the appointment if I had known the service wouldn't be completed. Unfortunately, this was a major letdown and not the level of professionalism I expected and now I'm driving home to finish my hair just mins before my very important event.
