Long overdue review for Renee! I got my hair done back in October & our goal was to let my grays thrive while still keeping them a little hidden. Renee absolutely killed it on the color, style AND education. Sitting in her chair is an absolute pleasure, it's like a therapy session! She's kind, gentle and informative very step of the way! Can't wait to reschedule :) Two product recommendations from Renee that have really worked for me is Kendra's Dry Texture spray & Kerastase's Elixir Ultime read more

Naz did an amazing job with my cut and color! Salon is clean and the music playing had me dancing and singing in the chair. Decided to go lighter for summer and got "the works" which was a full balayage lightener and toner along with a cut. Was in the chair for about 5 hours as I was going from dark to light, but it honestly didn't feel like it at all. Naz is a true professional, working quickly and telling me exactly what she was doing. After I booked, Naz reached out to introduce herself and ask if I had an inspo pics. She reassured me and set expectations right of the bat. She's an absolute delight and can't wait to go back! read more

I would totally gatekeep my stylist... but Rene is just too good not to share. She puts her whole heart into every appointment making sure I'm 100% happy before I leave (and I've got the photos to prove it!). We always have the best conversations, the time flies by, and she manages to make me feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful every single time. Whether I want to go light or dark, she ALWAYS gets it right. She's super flexible with scheduling, listens to what I want, and genuinely cares about how I feel when I walk out. I used to struggle finding a stylist I could trust, someone who actually gets my vision but Rene changed that. If you've been searching for a stylist who's talented, patient, and worth every penny... stop looking and book with Rene. You'll thank me later. ‍ read more

I will not mention names here, but I will never return to this salon. I was extremely disappointed to discover how badly my hair was damaged after I went home and washed it. I ended up having to get another haircut elsewhere just to fix the damage. During my appointment, my stylist was working on another client at the same time, and I truly believe the lack of attention contributed to my hair being over-processed and fried. Even at the salon, after my hair was washed, I noticed strands coming off and expressed my concern. I was told it was "normal because hair is fragile when wet," but the breakage and damage were clearly beyond normal. While my hair initially looked fine when styled at the salon, once I washed it at home, the true extent of the damage became obvious. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place to anyone based on my experience. read more

Come here all the time. Drove an hour away and all the girls are overly well qualified. Never disappoints.

R E N E E ask for her, every time great chair side service able to achieve my desired style every time she can have all my money as long as my hair stays looking & feeling this great read more

Bhumika has been my hairstylist for years and recently moved to this salon. She is excellent at both haircuts and color and I have never left the salon disappointed. I love that she takes them to listen to her clients and work with them to find a style that is most flattering for them, while still giving them what they asked for. read more

I cannot recommend Renee enough! From the very first appointment, I could feel her genuine care and positive energy. She pours so much love into her work, and she truly listens to what I want while also guiding me in a way that protects the health and integrity of my hair. I've tried different colors and styles with her. I have even added bleach to my hair and my hair has never been this healthy. She takes her time, she explains what she's doing, and she always offers helpful advice on how to maintain my hair at home. It honestly feels like having a stylist and a hair coach all in one. Every time I leave her chair, I feel beautiful, confident, and taken care of. The experience is always uplifting. She's sweet, encouraging, and just has the best vibe. Plus, I get so many compliments on my hair from strangers when I'm just out running errands, which tells you everything! I love her, I trust her, and I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants gorgeous hair and an even more beautiful experience. read more

I had a terrible salon experience with Paola. I usually drive 30-40 minutes to see my usually hair stylist but since moving to Hayward I've been looking for local places so I snagged a last minute appointment to see Paola, however jokes on me - I definitely won't be going back here.... It started with me sitting on the salon chair and asking me me "Can my assistant help?" I say yes thinking the assistant was going to help her clean, fetch her supplies, etc. Little did I know her assistant would be doing most of the work while she went off to work on another client's hair. While she was away, I was wondering when she would come back, and I thought to myself - what a weird salon, but hey maybe that's the way they do things here and my hair will be fine?? Well I'm here now, I can't just leave. Fast, forward, Paola comes back and takes a peep at my hair, and adds a little something, then her assistant (btw i don't know her name, what her credentials are, and who was quiet the whole time) took me to the shampoo bowl to wash my hair and do the toner part. Okay, finally Paola is back to cut my hair. Awesome, now I am finally see the person I paid for. I pay and leave the salon. It took me a few weeks of trying to style my hair until I figured out my haircut is completely UNEVEN. I thought I was crazy, until finally about 3 weeks later I told my husband okay I have to say something, so he took a photo of my hair and I sent it to Paola. She tells me that since it's been nearly 4 weeks my hair grew out unevenly and I'm due for my ROUTINE HAIRCUT and asked if I want to schedule another appointment. Ha. No thanks! I have never needed haircuts every 4 weeks. I went back to my usual hair stylist and I told her how Paola wanted me to go back to her for a routine haircut after FOUR weeks, and she laughed and could not believe it. Every hair cut I have ever gotten for the past 20 years has lasted at LEAST 3 months. 1) transparency - if i book with you but someone else will be doing half the work, tell your client ahead of time and don't charge full price for inexperience. 2) No accountability - hey if you screwed up my hair, that's fine but don't blame it on the client's hair. At least offer to fix it and not charge me again for your mistake. The toner/root touch up work was like 4/10 work. Didn't last long. Her assistant needs more training. read more

Renee is truly exceptional at her craft and continues to exceed my expectations with every visit. Her extensive knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail are evident in everything she does. When I first started going to her, my hair was box dyed black, and I was nervous about transitioning to blonde. Renee approached the process with such care and expertise that she achieved a stunning blonde shade with absolutely no damage to my hair! Since then, I have trusted her completely with every color and style I've wanted to try. No matter what vision I bring to her, she always delivers flawless results that perfectly match what I had in mind. I cannot recommend her highly enough anyone looking for a knowledgeable, talented, and trustworthy stylist should absolutely go to Renee. She never disappoints! read more

I went to Karina for a tone and cut, and she did a great job! Totally nailed the color I was looking for! She was super kind and was able to give me great tips! Definitely will be coming back!! read more

Beautiful salon, I love that they use Kerastase products! the salon itself is clean and very modern. I booked an appointment with Marcela for my mom, she is very detailed and so nice to talk to. She was recommended when I called to inquire about the best stylist for fine hair. She really does take pride in her work and it's nice to see salons that focus on customer service as well as talented stylists. I'll definitely be back for my own haircut! read more

This review is for Nicole @mesmereyezinghair on IG. I've been going to her for a couple of months now and each time she helps me deliver exactly what I want ! She's funny and knows what she's doing .

Came here for the 4th or 5th time today to get a curly cut with Shelby, who is wonderful I was recommended nine two five by a friend who had a beautiful curly cut, and she specifically recommended Shelby After my first cut there, I also recommended Shelby to my other friends with curly hair. ANYWAYS, I came back today, and Shelby did an amazing job. We did a refresh on my hair where she cut the ends and redid all my layers and face framing. She also did a wash and a deep conditioning treatment. Then she styled it curly for me. I loved how it came out! She got my curls to look very healthy and defined. She also got the top of my head curly, which I can never manage to do. Already got lots of compliments on it. I love nine two five. I feel like it's super clean and also decorated very elegantly. It also makes me so happy that it's in downtown Hayward and so close to home. I can't speak to anyone else but Shelby, but I wholeheartedly recommend her. read more

Robyn was awesome! She listened to what my vision was and executed perfectly. I was a little nervous after not coloring in my hair in the last 5 years but I'm so glad at how my hair turned out! I have also come here for a few haircuts and can say every stylist I've had the pleasure with dealing with (Paola and Adriana specifically) have all been amazing. The overall vibe of the salon is so cute and clean as well. Parking is never an issue for me either. read more

I came to see Ezzy after having a terrible experience at another salon where they completely ruined my hair. She was able to work miracles and brought my hair back to life! Since then, I've been going to her for all my hair needs, and she never disappoints. Ezzy truly takes her time, explains everything thoroughly, and makes sure you leave looking your best. If you're looking for a new stylist, I highly recommend her--you won't regret it! read more

I visited Paola, and let me just say.. I left the salon beyond satisfied. As someone who's been loyal to the same eyebrow lady, nail tech, and lash artist for years, I finally found my person for my hair. I came in with a vision for my hair, and not only did Paola bring it to life, but she exceeded every expectation I had. I walked out of the salon feeling more confident than ever. If you're looking for someone who listens, understands your style, and delivers beyond your dreams, Paola is the one. I couldn't be happier! read more

Nine Two Five Salon - Done by Paola - Hair Salons Near Me - Hayward, California

My haircut was just fair. It's very interesting that the stylist would cut my hair first, then wash it afterwards. Most stylist would do it the opposite- wash your hair first, then cut it. Not sure if I would go back. read more

I loved the final result of my hair. I definitely recommend this place 10/10.Thank you Esmeralda for the amazing work, I love my hair you did a wonderful job. read more

Paola is truly amazing - so patient, kind, and incredibly talented! I recently moved to the Bay Area from SoCal and was so nervous about finding a new hair person, but from the moment I sat in her chair, I knew I was in the best hands. I was especially scared to go from blonde to jet black, but she made me feel completely comfortable and excited about the change, walking me through every step and answering all my questions. She pulled it off flawlessly with absolutely no damage - my hair turned out even healthier and shinier than before! She genuinely takes her time to listen, never rushes, and truly cares about making sure you leave feeling beautiful and confident. You can tell she's passionate about what she does, and it shows in every detail. I'm so grateful to have found her - I can't recommend her enough! read more

I love this salon. After much needed hair care due to covid shut downs I made an appointment with Karla. She is the sweetest and most knowledgeable stylist. She took good care of my thin dry hair and covered my grays perfectly. A trim brought my hair back to life and left it soft again and bouncy. I am a fan girl of this stylist no doubt. I will continue to book my appointments ahead of time as she can get booked up quick. Great prices and most of all customer service. Covid precautious in place in a modern salon. Downtown Hayward. Check them out. read more

This review is for Robyn. I found her through IG(robyndoeshair_) and have been following her for a bit but I already had a colorist that I was pretty loyal to. After some time, I booked an appointment with Robyn for a touch up/refresh for my existing balayage. It's always a little scary letting someone different touch my hair because they are working with someone else's prior work. Also, I've gotten pretty picky over the years. I just won't let anyone touch my hair. Anyway, so I decided to give it a shot with Robyn and the outcome was great! She touched up my silver ribbons, money piece, and gave me baby light on the top of my head to blend out the grown out hair. My hair is definitely looking fresh! I just love it so much. read more

Nine Two Five is a hidden gem in Downtown Hayward!! I've gone to many salons but always had to drive far to get a full quality salon experience. Absolutely love walking into a modern and clean salon. Top lux service and vibe as well. My go to girls are always Karina and Karla. Prices are on their website when booking. After booking you receive a confirmation and then a reminder a few days before your appointment. I've never had an issue with parking, there's always spots in the city lot across salon or I just circle and park on B St and grab boba then walk over. Adding pictures of my latest hairstyle (done by Karina). I opted for a brown balayage and weeks later still looks amazing! Thank you NTF ladies! read more

This review is well overdue. Ninetwofive Salon has an amazing salon environment and you are always greeted with high energy individuals who loves what they do. Personally, I've been seeing Ezzy as my barber for almost 4 years and she has never swayed my haircut any other way other than perfection. If you are looking for a great environment, with awesome people this is the place! read more

Renèe A. Is a GODSENT hairstylist and I don't know what I would do without her!!! If you have anxiety going to salons like I do then she is the stylist for you. She is down to earth and the kindness person ever. I met Renèe at the salon and she took me in as a client with open arms for extensions after going to a different salon that cut my hair super short. I have been to many different salons for years and I felt like I could never get what I wanted. Renèe has changed my whole hair game. She really listens to what you want and never fails to make yourself fall in love with your new look. Her vibes are unmatched to anyone else I've ever gotten my hair done with. I am super comfortable when consulting with her on what I want to do next with my hair. She is also very responsive to all messages and cares so much to work with your schedule. Booking with her was the best thing I ever done and I am so happy to have her as my stylist I can't wait for many more hair dates with her! She will deliver all your hair goals! read more

Sasha is the best!!! She's the first hairstylist that's given me exactly what I want! I've been to so many salons where I always feel I'm not happy with the service or my hair. Usually I get upcharged for olaplex/ constantly asked to buy the products in the salon or I sit in the chair for hours!!! Sasha did none of that! She charged me exactly what it said in her booking app, she was super quick (finished my balayage in 2.5 hours) and was super kind. She was honest about my white hairs and covered them with highlights. Overall I'm super happy with my hair and excited to continue seeing her! read more

I've been coloring my hair since the age of 8 and have seen many colorists, but no one compares to Ivette.

Ivette has really taken care of my hair from the start, she never never gate keeps what products or regimens work best for her. It's refreshing to hear other stylists asking her for color correction tips and advice, She always listens to what I want and always has the best interest of the integrity of my hair. If you are looking for someone who is a beautiful soul and can transform your hair Ivette is your girl! read more

I am so glad I found Reneé at Nine to Five Salon in Hayward. I go to her for all of my touch ups, balayage, haircut, trims, toner, etc! She is the sweetest, friendliest, and funniest person I have came across. I'm a very shy person but every time I'm in her chair she makes me feel extremely comfortable and we always have a blast. Reneé brought back my frizzy dried hair back to life making it healthy and silky. She never fails to make me look beautiful. I love that she is very informative and on how to take care of my hair, and has recommended me wonderful products. She is very patient and pays attention to what I ask for! I always leave her chair with such beautiful luscious hair that always excedes my expectations! I completely trust Reneé with my hair because she is the best at what she does! read more

Paola (paintedbypaola_) took care of me with my brand new layers! She was great at consulting what type of layers would work for me, was very detailed throughout every step of the way while doing my hair, and even tips on how to style it.
