I was very happy with the cut and color I received. Shelly was able to take my damaged hair with a bad color job and make my hair look great! read more

I have been going to LisaLisa for quite a few years now. Shelly is the best!!! If you are not sure what you want she knows just what will look fantastic on you. If you know exactly what you want, she will give you exactly what you ask for. She is fun and professional! read more

First timer at Salon Lisa Lisa....met with Shelly Marcuso...Did a great job!!! I do not have the 'Caveman' look anymore. Compliments from others on how good it looks...nice and clean!! Thank you Shelly. read more

There's more than one Lisa that works here. The one that did my hair for a few months is not the owner. She claims to be a colorist. But, she's not a very good one. I went to her asking if she could do light blonde on my light brown hair. She said she could. She could not. She turned my hair orange and bright yellow. When I asked one time if maybe we should put some toner in she got mad and it was weird. Another time she tried to tell me it was the lighting. It wasn't. The last time I spoke to her it was before having my orange hair corrected by another salon. And, I asked her what products she used so I could get my hair reprocessed. And, she went crazy on me and it was very uncomfortable. I really shouldn't have paid. But, I did. And, I tipped. I thought about it for a while before leaving my review because the other ladies in the salon seem so nice. And, I've never seen any of their clients leave looking like I did. After thinking about it, I decided that the owner did choose to have this stylist in the salon. So, avoid the Lisa that's in the front part of the salon. read more

Some Yelpers may find themselves overwhelmed by the myriad of salons littering the streets of Downtown Los Altos, but the chic atmosphere and quality stylists at Lisa Lisa make it a prince amongst frogs. If you care about your hair, then you are guaranteed to be satisfied with a cut from Shelly. And the prices are very reasonable! Not only is Shelly deft with the scissors, but she has an eye for style! She will recommend the best and most flattering cut and color for you, and then deliver. The three women of my family, as well as many of our friends, started getting cuts from Shelly a few years ago, and now we will never go anyplace else! Overall, my family has recommended over a dozen people (two of them men!) to Shelly and they have all been so happy with their cuts that they have returned repeatedly. In fact, my friend who is living in D.C. until November is waiting until she gets back to get her cut. I also recommend the "Eufora" products sold at the salon. read more

Since moving to Mountain View, i decided i needed to find a new salon, (didn't want to schlep to Campbell for my haircuts, even though i was happy at the salon i went to there.) I found Lisa Lisa because of Yelp. They are a bit tucked away off one of the two main streets in downtown Los Altos. I probably never would have noticed them on my own. Tara cut my hair a few weeks ago, and I am VERY happy!! She gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had! She was pleasant and personable, and also got me in and out pretty quickly without making me feel rushed. I also was able to find the organic hair products I like there. Although I made it clear I was interested in purchasing something, she was not pushy at all. I totally appreciated this, as I have encountered the opposite in the past. My hair looks better than it has in years, and I will definitely be returning. read more

We have been going to Shelley for several years. My husband, who is incredibly fussy about his haircut gets oh so patient and solicitous attention from her. His crazy cowlicks are tamed and all trimming requests cheerfully granted. She does a wonderful job transforming me from a mousy brunette to a shiny fun blonde. After years of coloring, my hair is still in great shape. She is an excellent haircutter-which is a very important skill if you have fine hair like mine! Her training in the art of haircutting goes beyond the normal beauty school fare. It is also nice to chat with someone who is a low-key intelligent "no drama" type of person while getting expert hair care. read more

THANK YOU Kari!!!! For over 2 years, I had been giving my old stylist a photo of the cut and color I would like to have, and for over 2 years, I had been getting something significantly unlike what I wanted. I finally got the courage to be a big girl and just find a new stylist. Enter Kari of Lisa Lisa... I showed her the photo of what I wanted, she nodded her head, asked a few logical questions, and then a few questions I hadn't even thought about. After an hour or 2, some nice conversation and an amazing shampoo... I had the exact cut and color I wanted. Mind BLOWN! Needless to say, I am VERY happy with my hair, with Kari and with the salon overall. It's a lovely place. I felt comfortable and confident from the moment I walked in. I will be back for sure! read more

I write to sing the praises of Shelly, sassy stylist and color diva at LisaLisa - love her - laaaaaa! Have been seeing her for oh-so-many years, and still get compliments from BF and complete strangers alike. Almost hate to recommend her as she often is already quite booked, but believe me, she's worth it! and, yelpers, you know, you owe it to yourself!! BTW NS must have been having a really bad day - the owner is always a friendly professional when I drop by! read more

I want to give a shout out to Shelly Marcuso. I have been going to her for years and she is a fabulous colorist. I've been traveling through So. Cal all week and people have been stopping me everywhere to comment on my hair. I have blonde highlights weaved throughout my hair and it looks amazing. I always get compliments every time I leave the salon. Thank you Shelly M!! read more

This is the salon where I discovered Sara, my hair stylist; although, she had relocated to a different salon, I still love this place. It's kinda weird how it's behind a Mexican restaurant, but it's okay, the cute ambiance inside makes up for it. If you happen to stop by at this salon, you should ask for Jessica! She's the protogee of Sara. She's awesome, and I LOVE her sarcasm. Haha! Great highlights and great service! read more

When I moved to the Los Altos/Mountain View Area from Southern California and tried a few different salons in the area and I found some above average places and average. It depends on the Stylist. Through a stroke of luck I got Shelly Marcuso! She is truly terrific and buy far the best colorist I have had--even better than the colorists I had in San Diego. I get so many complements on the color. As one of my colleagues told me upon meeting me, blonde is tough to pull off and you sure can pull it off. I want to know who your colorist is! My color always looks amazing and Shelly know her stuff. She knows exactly what you need and when you need it. My color and style look amazing. Shelly is as good as it gets. read more

I have been going to and sending friends to Shelly for many years. She is an expert at coloring - she REALLY knows her color products and color processes! I even sent my college age daughter for the latest college highlights and she did a phenomenal job! Even though I've gone for years, I never feel like I get the "same old style or coloring." We discuss it and change it as my needs and my hair's needs change! I am constantly complimented on my hair and hair color. I have Shelly at Lisa Lisa to thank for that! read more

I've been going to Shelly for many years and have been very pleased with her service and cuts. As a man, I like consistency and efficiency. It's also nice to have a stylist who is pleasant and you can chat with about a bunch of subjects. No reason to go anywhere else. read more

I visited the salon on 12/3/16 and could not have been happier. I've been searching for a stylist for 2yrs and I finally found a brilliant one. Kari was on time, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. She heard my needs and went a step further to ask me questions about my lifestyle and then educate me on how and why she planned to cut and style as she did. I haven't had a haircut I liked this much in years. Also, when I first contacted the salon for an appointment it was at a very busy time. Lisa was phenomenal in getting back to me ASAP and referring stylists to me who were also extremely prompt in getting back to me. I have a feeling that you will be satisfied no matter who you see at Salon Lisa Lisa read more

Shelly Marasco is fantastic. I've been going to her for 10+ years and her advice on keeping my hair current is great. Thanks. If you want to reach Shelly Marasco, call (650) 279-9447. read more

Shelly is the WOMAN! She has been highlighting, coloring and cutting my hair for over a year now and my color is Ahhh-mazing and my style is sassy! Shelly is a master at helping me keep my color and style relevant and sexy. I have so much grey and she helps me keep up with it all. If you are ready for a new color and a style that compliments your hair, your face, your age, etc see Shelly at Lisa Lisa! read more

Very happy with my experience with Shelly Marasco at this salon. I tried her out based on the other positive Yelp reviews. She fit me into her schedule on short notice and did a fantastic job with my color, highlights, and cut. She did exactly what I asked for and did it skillfully. I'll definitely be going back! read more

I've been going to Shelley for about 10 years now, and she always does a great job with my hair cut and color! She is a color expert and never steers me wrong. I look forward to every appointment. There are a lot of salons in Los Altos, try Lisa Lisa first! read more

I have to leave some good feedback for Kristi! She did an amazing job with my highlights and trim in preparation for my wedding. I was so happy with the way the color turned out. She looked at me and knew what would work and it was dead on. She even did a few highlights underneath so it will show with my hair in an updo, which I really appreciated. Also, Kristi's prices are so reasonable (not sure how she swings that as she has a ton of experience and is in Los Altos), but it was an added benefit to a great haircut and coloring job. I'm down South, but I'll be back to Kristi whenever I'm up North next. read more

As a Personal Assistant, I am often asked for referrals and that is just what happened recently. A new client relocated here form Europe and was in desperate need of a "stellar stylist", so I reached out to Shelly Marasco. My client had nothing but rave reviews for Shelly. When my clients are happy, so am I! Thank you Shelly for taking such great care of "C" and I know you will continue in the New Year! read more

Pampered and relaxing. It feels like home without the crying kids. Shelly did a great job and my hair is easy to style and looks great even when I don't have the time to style it. read more

Tara at Lisa Lisa is amazing. I have tons of gray hair since age 20 and thanks to Tara I look younger than my age. She is fun, cool and very customer oriented. read more

A friend recommended that I see Shelley at Lisa Lisa after years of going to an Aveda salon. I had a haircut that the stylist wanted me to have, rather than what really looked good on me. Shelley took one look at me and said, "We have to change this!" and she was right. It took several months of patient growing and coloring but now I have an attractive style and the color is fabulous. I get compliments all the time about how natural my color is. Shelley is a talented hair stylist and takes her profession very seriously. She will give you honest advice about your hair and make it look the absolute best it can be. She also makes changes with the season, lightening it up in the summer and darkening it in the winter if you want. I have recommended many people to Shelley and even my husband sees her for color now. You cannot go wrong with her! Do make an appointment because she is busy! Call Shelley at 650-279-9447. read more

I never have a bad hair day with Shelly! She has been keeping me together for over 20 years and my cut, style and color always look great -- very natural looking but also stylish. People often comment on how terrific my hair always looks and it does. I am in and out on time. What;s not to be happy about? If you want to make an appointment with Shelly, she can be reached at 650-279-9447. read more

Lisa, had the opportunity to fix my awful into a color correction. And dare I say it turned out beautifully. With lots of patience, Lisa delicately fixed all my color unevenness and it was worth all the time. I have never received such a great turn out for highlights. And the best part about it was she used a special technique to cut my curly hair, called the Twist. If anyone ever needs a color correction I promise Lisa has special magic hands to turn your hair into a masterpiece! read more

To save money, my daughter (17) and I have been going to one of those places that cuts your hair for $10. We couldn't take it anymore and were not only fortunate to get same day appointments at Lisa Lisa, but were very lucky to have met Elizabeth. Serendipity. She worked a wonderful style on my daughter (think Rory from Gilmore Girls) and did an amazing job of fashioning a great look for me. Took about 3" off! My daughter says I look like Kate Beckingsdale from Underworld. I'll take that compliment! Elizabeth is a gifted stylist, but also just a genuinely nice person - which seems like a rarity nowadays. She just made two very loyal clients today! read more

Lisa, the salon owner, does great color. The shop is centrally located on Main Street, parking is easy behind the shop and there are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat after my appointment. read more

See all

I went to this salon for the first time June 2nd, 2012. I'm not someone who gets haircuts often, but I had been going to the same salon for 7 years before moving too far away to make it worth the trek. I wanted a short cut with layered bangs. I'm pretty easy going when it comes to hair, but, I was still nervous seeing someone new. My stylist was Lisa, the owner. It was just me and one other client getting highlights at the time, so I can not confirm what it is like there when it's super busy. That said I was really pleased with the cut and attention that Lisa gave me. Knowing I'm not one able to put a lot of time into styling my hair, she gave me hands on training regarding an easy way to blow dry with a round brush. I feel confident enough to do this on my own at home, and it really takes less than five minutes. Plus, the cut is cute enough without a blow dry as well. The bangs and layers were right on the money. Overall I highly recommend this salon. I like the cute atmosphere inside, and the personalized service. I will definitely return for my next cut, maybe even try some color next time! read more

I have gone to Lisa, the salon owner, and had excellent experiences with both cut and color. Unfortunately, my daughter's experience with Kari was extremely disappointing. Kari was brusque, rough doing the comb out, did not ask my daughter questions during the cut, did not make any conversation at all. My daughter (age 15) who has very long hair asked her to take 4" max off the length; Kari took off 6" at least. When I came back to pick my daughter up, we talked with Kari, and she basically shrugged off our unhappiness with the cut. When I went to pay with a credit card, Kari said she doesn't take them (I wrongly assumed that because Lisa does, Kari would also). No "oh... I should have let you know" - nothing. I came back to pay her and talked with her about my daughter's bad experience -- she was defensive and cold. I have simply never encountered that level of rudeness by someone in that kind of setting. As I turned to leave, I saw Kari roll her eyes at me. Nice. Sadly, neither of us will be going back to this salon. read more

I love Salon Lisa Lisa! I've only been one time (so far), but Lisa did a beautiful job on my hair. The blonde highlights she gave me look very pretty and natural, and the cut is great. Lisa is really sweet, and even invited me to bring my tiny little dog with me to my appointment (she knew about him because he was with me when I walked in to inquire about their services). I never would have considered bringing my dog to a hair appointment, but upon her suggestion, I brought him, and it was fun having him there, with all the ladies doting on him the whole time. I also want to say how charming the space is. It's a really welcoming combination of warm, cozy, and elegant. I love it there. And you can't beat the location, right in the heart of downtown Los Altos. read more

My hair stylist Lisa Saeger gives me a great cut and color that are just right for me. This is a very pleasant and fun salon that I would recommend to anyone wholeheartedly. read more

Margot has been doing my cuts & colour for most of the past 12 years. Having tried other colourists and stylists I keep coming back to Margot because she just does an excellent job! I'm always happy w my hair, and I'm happy to let her professional opinion and keen eye take the lead after I describe my basic wishes. After all she's the artist. :-) As my hair has aged, she has altered the colour & technique to keep it flattering of me. Finally, I find her service an excellent value. read more

Lisa Saeger, the owner of LisaLisa has been my hair dresser for 10+ years. Her ability to listen to what I want (really listen), my satisfaction with my cuts/color, and the ongoing compliments I get on my hair is why I keep going back. Lisa also does both my daughters hair (16 and 21 years old). We all love Lisa! read more

I have been a regular customer here for over two years. Lisa (the owner) is WONDERFUL!! I have curl in my hair and a hair growth pattern that makes it difficult to get a cut that works well. I always get a good cut AND Lisa always tells me to come back if something doesn't work. In over two years, I have been back once. Lisa is fun and upbeat and meticulous. Fortunately, she is younger than I am - I don't plan to ever go anywhere else - so I don't have to worry about her retiring before I do, smile. She really is a find and I love that she is only about 15 minutes from where I live. What could be better? read more

Jessica is really amazing. she found a color for me that make people say "You are so lucky to be born with it" I am also amazed how long her color lasts! She also takes care of finding just the right cut read more

I have been a loyal customer of the owner, Lisa Saeger, through at least 4 salons. Lisa is a wizard with haircuts and an excellent colorist. She will follow your wishes or give you great ideas if you just don't know what to do. read more

I see Tara for hair "tinting" only. I have recieved several compliments on my hair and trust in her color judgement. Not only that she is not hesitant to make suggestions and provide feedback on what I should do with my hair. I trust her judgement immensely. read more
