I recently got a balayage for the first time ever and have gotten so many compliments since! I've truly never felt better about my hair.

I used to go to a different hair salon, but I really hated my last haircut, so I started looking…read morefor a new salon near my home. This place came up, and Jay had the highest reviews, so I decided to give him a try today. I showed him a picture of the haircut I wanted. He noticed that my current hairstyle had uneven layers and recommended making a few modifications to give me a better overall style. I had my roots touched up and got a haircut. Wow, I really love it! He doesn't overbook his appointments, so he spends enough time with each client for both the color and haircut. I really appreciate that he takes his time and doesn't rush. Highly recommend Jay if you're looking for a great hairstylist!

There is also no volume as my roots were not permed and my hair is aggressively straight, so it looks a little sad and flat on top then bam, curls. I also wasnt given any care instructions for my perm whatsoever, so it's a good thing I'd done my research and knew not to wash my hair or do any styling for the first couple days. I'd definitely give this place another shot, because my hair does look decent, but I'll have to make sure I'm extra clear on what exactly I want. I also need to brush up on my Chinese as I didn't learn hair styling related Chinese in school, so my hairstylist and I could not communicate effectively.

From the moment I sat in her chair, she was attentive, professional, and clearly an expert at her craft. She took the time to understand what I wanted (and what my wife envisioned) and executed it flawlessly. The result? An incredible haircut that both my wife and I love. The style is clean, modern, and somehow makes me look way more put together with minimal effort - which is a win in my book. Sarah's attention to detail, precision, and skill made all the difference. If you're looking for a stylist who truly knows what they're doing and makes you look and feel amazing, Sarah is the one.

The salon was clean and professional with some ambient jazz in the background. My appointment with Hibiki started with a gentle hair wash before I was brought a small cup of tea and some konpeito to snack on as I showed him the album of reference photos on my phone. We were able to make some pleasant small talk even with the English-Japanese language barrier, and Hibiki was very attentive to making sure my hair was cut and styled in a flattering way that added volume! (I had let him know I struggled with my hair sitting flat) I would definitely come back!! For anyone looking to book here that doesn't speak Japanese, I would advise you make sure you have clear reference photos of the type of cut you want--preferably from multiple angles. Don't be afraid to ask questions, bust out Google Translate, and make gestures for what length you want your hair at!

Alice is the very best!!!…read more I've been coming to Alice since spring/summer of 2024, and now I can never go to anyone else. Seriously, the best haircuts I've ever had, that make it worth driving from the Bay Area. While at college, I had to try some other hair stylists and they just don't compare, to the point where she could tell they had done things that weren't in line with what I usually like. Her intuition for what you're looking for is spot on, and she knows how to kindly suggest what will and won't work best. Plus, when I was interested in color but am on a college student budget, she didn't hesitate to give me the best at-home suggestions. Not to mention that she's extremely personable, kind, and takes the time to really get to know you and check in on your life, no matter how long it's been since you last came in. Definition of the goat.

She is also very fun to talk to- for me the time with her goes by fast and I always enjoy chatting with her. I'm really glad I found Alice!

My boyfriend's childhood friend who also happens to be a hairstylist in the San Ramon area told me to call nine two five salon. I called the Hayward location right away since I'm very familiar with them and have gone to them in numerous different occasions. I called and spoke with Rebecca from the Hayward location and asked if anyone can detangle hair in either of their location. She got back to me in less than 15 minutes and was able to find Madison for me from their Pleasanton location. I booked right away for a Thursday morning appointment and the rest was history. We showed up Thursday morning and Madison did her thing. One of my biggest appreciation for Madison is her compassion for my goddaughter. She saw the stress in her eyes and really wanted to help her preserve her hair. Madison communicated with both me and my goddaughter about the what-ifs and how she was gonna proceed in case she couldn't save her hair but she made sure that every step was explained. Madison was very patient and made sure she didn't stay in one area of her head because her head was going to be tender. Madison brushed out my goddaughters for as long as she could. Honestly, I think the whole process took anywhere from 10-13 hours give or take split between two days. Madison had to move her schedules around just to accommodate my goddaughter. The end result was amazing. My goddaughter was extremely happy and excited with her new hair. She showed it off to me and sent me a bunch of pictures overall being happy and thankful that I found Madison. So if you're looking for someone to do detangling on your hair or really anyones hair, Madison is your go to person. Her rate wasn't bad at all either. All in all, shout out to Madison, thank you for the patience and compassion you've put in on taking care of my goddaughter. Know that it meant so much and you're an amazing hair stylist and an amazing person.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience. I met with stylist…read moreLily Costa. I paid over $700 for tape in hair extensions and $350 plus 20% tip for installation of the tape in hair extensions. Within days, multiple extensions began falling out and some extensions were already twisting. I immediately contacted the stylist, documented the issues with photos, and returned for a correction appointment. Despite the repair, additional extensions continued to fall out shortly afterward. Throughout the process, I made efforts to resolve the matter directly and professionally. Rather than acknowledging the possibility of an installation issue, responsibility was repeatedly shifted to potential hair-loss concerns. However, the extensions that fell out still had significant hair amounts of my natural hair attached, and a second stylist who evaluated the installation raised concerns about the amount and placement of hair within some of the extension sandwiches. What I found most disappointing was not just the installation itself, but the lack of accountability when the problem persisted after corrective work was performed. I spent additional time, money, and effort trying to have the issue addressed, yet I was repeatedly asked to return for further evaluations after already making a trip for corrective work. After extensive discussions and continued documentation of the problem, the stylist stated I was threatening her by saying I was going to leave a review of her work. She mentioned that she would offer me a partial refund of $100 to resolve this matter but I am not to leave a review of threaten her. Apparently telling her that her work was not adequate is considered threatening. After telling the stylist that $100 was unacceptable she eventually refunded $150, but does not change the fact that the extensions failed almost immediately after installation. My expectation when paying for a professional extension installation is that the extensions remain secure for more than a few days and that legitimate concerns are addressed without the customer having to repeatedly advocate for themselves.
