I originally found Kayla on IG_colorbykayla_ and I'm so glad I did! She always does a fabulous job and I absolutely love her work. I've gotten a color, cut, Brazilian blowout, and keratin treatments with her. She is so talented and she always knows exactly what I want done. My hair always feels healthy and I end up leaving feeling beautiful and confident everytime with a bit more pep in my step than when I went in. All of the other stylists are always very sweet, professional, and welcoming. I love how cute and tidy the salon looks everyone I come in and I have love the free snack bar they offer. Parking in the area is also quite easy which I always appreciate. read more

Love coming here, the salon is so cute and all the stylists are so nice! Kayla is so talented and always knows what will look best on me! read more

Paintbox Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Saratoga, California

UPDATE: After 4 visits, it has become clear that finding Saratoga's "The Paintbox", I have fallen into hairdresser heaven. When a boss will do everything her employees do, you know you're with those who hold a lot of respect for the client. While at the shampoo bowl, the assistant asked the stylist to mix some chemicals for my hair, to which the stylist (owner) *promptly replied*, "Yes, I'll do that for you...", I knew that meant cutting my time at the salon was foremost. So, if youd like to work with those who value you as a client l, DO go here...it just keeps getting better. read more

I have been coming here for years! I love how Mariela does my hair. The place has a good vibe.

I've been to a lot of hair stylists over the last 20 years, but Kayla is the only one I trust completely with my hair. She knows what works for me and gets it right every time. Skilled, easy to talk to, and always professional. She is a master of color. I've been gray for 20 years and she is the only one that has been able to hide my gray while giving my hair a natural appearance. I walk out feeling confident and refreshed! Kayla is the best and I won't be looking elsewhere. The salon is comfortable, relaxing, high class and I love the new upgrades they have recently added! I always look forward to my appointments with Kayla at Paintbox Hair Studio. read more

I've been seeing Mariela (owner) for many many years! She is the absolute best, the kindest, most talented and just a gem in this industry. I am so lucky to have her as my stylist! Always takes good care of my hair by never compromising its integrity yet giving me the most beautifully blended, bright and shiny hair. She gives thorough consults, is extremely detail oriented and a perfectionist. She will take your vision and bring it to life! In terms of the salon itself - cute trendy place in the heart of downtown Saratoga. Very inviting place, professional staff, best customer service and just comfortable ! Great hair products too!! read more

Paintbox Hair Studio - Before and After with Loren! - Hair Salons Near Me - Saratoga, California

I moved to the area last year and have been coming here ever since. I did a lot of research on hair treatments and found that Paintbox was one of the few salons that provided (truly!) formaldehyde-free options. They also use high quality tools that protect the hair from any heat damage, which I really appreciate. Mariela and Rachel are such a delight! I have very thick, curly hair that takes forever to blow dry, but they do an awesome job and are very thorough. I always walk out with a long-lasting blowout in less time than any of the other salons I've been to. Great service, great people; I really couldn't recommend Paintbox enough! read more

Amazing amazing amazing.. Mariela is the best. I came here to get my hair fixed due to a bad hair job done by my previous stylist. Mariela checked my hair n not only did complete color correction but also gave my hair a good treatment to help control the breakage. Mariela is my new hair stylist now. I would definitely recommend Paintbox Hair Studio for all things Hair! read more

Mariela is such a great stylist!! I love that she is patient and listens to her customers. She is great at color and always highlights my hair in the most perfect natural looking tones. I have a lot of hair and she knows exactly how to cut it. Before coming here I would really struggle finding someone who cut my hair the way I like it cut and styled. She has plenty of experience and you can just tell she loves what she does. She greets you with a smile from start to finish. Customer for life!! read more

I followed my hairstylist Danielle T here and glad I did. The salon is clean with a cute coffee/tea section and snacks. Everyone I have come into contact there is super sweet. Danielle is amazing at natural balayage and my hair has never looked better! I always look forward to my color and cuts with her. read more

Mariella is a fantastic stylist and colorist. I have been her client for almost 15 years. She has seen me through color corrections (when I accidentally dyed my own hair almost black) and through the trying to keep my color looking natural while going grey. I used to have very long, thick curly hair and she is very skilled at cutting and styling this type of hair. It never grew out funky and she always gives great advice on how to keep my cut, color and texture looking great between visits. Now I wear my hear pretty short and same thing, it always looks great, even the day before I'm due to get it cut. Mariella also has an exceptional eye for color. She's very good at taking my non technical requests (can you make it more copper than caramel?) and making me look great. She's also a great sport when you show her some random celebrity picture and say "make me look like her!"....she will help explain what she can do and why something isn't a good idea for my color or texture. She's a true consultant and artist. read more

I have been seeing Loren Vincent for years and won't let anyone else touch my hair-- she is the only person i have trusted for the last 12+ years. Even when I lived in Southern California I would have to plan trips around getting my hair done. Have referred many family and friends over the years and will continue to do so :) read more

Run the other way! I took at least 5 photos showing in detail front, sides and the back of what I wanted along with the exact color. The hairdo I was going for was not far off from what had but I wanted it tweeked to be a little sassier and a whitish blond instead of my regular blond. Mariela told me that was no problem and stated that I had nice hair to work with. Well, it is no longer nice!! What I got was a dark grey color and some uneven, haphazardly, chopped up mess! During the cut I would tell her that she just cut off the part that was supposed to be long and showed her how uneven it was. I guess she thought I was blind or really stupid because she kept trying to convince me it was what I wanted. It wasn't even close! I'm so embarrassed that I can't even go out in public. My only choice now is to cut it all over close to my scalp and hope it grows out fast. I'm devastated. read more

Mariela works wonders. I've been meaning to try her services for the longest time and kept putting it off. I finally went in a few days ago and I am sure glad I did. The experience was wonderful. Mariela knows what she's doing and does it well. She listened to what I wanted and my brunette hair looks absolutely gorgeous. The caramel color highlights compliment my skin and I've received a zillion compliments already. My hair looks rich and full of shiny dimension. Her salon is located in a complex with tons of parking, its a lovely studio and I will for sure be back regularly. Thanks Mariela I'm so glad I found you :) read more

Marisela really took her time on my hair and listened to what I wanted. Highlights and color look great! Definitely coming back!

I am so happy to see Mariela start this new venture! She is AMAZING at what she does and I cannot imagine going to anyone else. She truly is artistic at what she does and she does it with a smile and fantastic customer service. I have gone from brunette to blonde and back and then back to blonde and I get compliments everywhere I go! You will not be disappointed! read more

Congrats to Mariela on starting her own salon! I am so blessed to have been recommended to her by a friend who calls her "amazing", when she was at the last salon! I moved to Cali almost 3 years ago and have tried at least 6 stylists before meeting Mariela, and was never happy with my results. The blonde wasn't right, and the cut, always just not good enough. Now Mariela is working with me to grow out my pixie, which can be a frustrating process, and keeping the cut and color fresh along the way. I am so glad to have found her, and her new salon is adorable! Her assistant, Julia is also a doll! Best of luck! read more

Mariela had been doing my cut and color for many years and every visit is a five star visit. Color and highlights are always amazing and she takes time to understand your hair and your hair issues . Her new location is great and feels very high end. It's also easy to get to with lots of parking. read more

Mariela is the bomb! A friend recommended her to me 8 years ago. Mariela does a great job that I bring my entire family to her. We all have different challenges and she manages to cut, color and style each of us to the best looking hair we've ever had. I have straight, fine hair. If left to its own devices it ends up hanging straight down looking forlorn, even emo. It repels any attempt to curl or style like a freaking terminator. With Mariela working the scissors my hair is suddenly buddies with my curling iron. I can curl it and it will stay that way all day. Two of my daughters have thick curly hair that usually takes a lot of managing to keep from going feral and attacking random pedestrians on the street. Mariela somehow manages to work with the curls so they can be either washed and left to dry into gentle lady-like tresses or yield happily to the influence of a hair iron. As for hair color, We've had a few home grown disasters and Mariela has always stepped in and managed to turn straw into gold or orange into a nice natural looking brown. read more

Alex is fantastic!!! Hands down the best there is!!! She's extremely detail oriented and is really knowledgeable about her job. Most importantly she listens to what you want. I was very happy with her. read more

Mariela is hands down one of the best hair artists around. I used to work in a salon (that's how I met Mariela!) and would see cuts and color all day, everyday, but all of our client's whose hair I liked the best always went to Mariela. It was clear to me after seeing her head to head with other talented folks that she is really an exceptional talent. Her colors are rich and luxurious, her eye for flattering styles is on point and she is just the sweetest peach in the pie. I love her and you should too. Go see her--you won't regret it. read more

There are not enough stars to express how I feel about Mariela! She's been my stylist for over 10 years and I can't imagine ever going anywhere else. She gets my hair and more importantly, she gets me. No matter how long you've been seeing her, she always takes the time to talk and find out if you'd like to do anything differently. She's a wizard with color and has made some really fun suggestions for things I'd not have ever considered and I LOVE the result! She's managed to match my natural color so well that my hair is surprisingly low maintenance for my age and the hombre adds richness and interest. If you want hair that people will comment on, see her! Her new location near Westgate Mall has tons of parking and is close to lots of great shopping and restaurants. read more

Mariela is incredible! I have been going to her ever since I moved back to the Bay Area a few years ago. I love how she does my color and I always get compliments from family, friends & even people I don't know! She makes my highlights look so natural! She is also always on time and always wonderful at suggesting ideas for color and cut. You can tell she really cares about her work and her clients. I would highly recommend her! read more
