    Love coming to salon mer to get my hair done! Nicole is so knowledgeable when it comes to hair. You will be in great hands if you go to her! She really teaches you everything you need to know to maintain healthy hair even if you go from straight to curly, black to platinum blonde. She does it all! Her salon is just a vibe period

    Salon Mer is the place to go for all your hair needs! I've colored my hair all sorts of colors and haircut styles over the year with Salon Mer, and it's been such a fun adventure. Really couldn't be possible to break these boundaries without all the trust in Salon Mer to help me change my hair styles :) highly recommend

    Nicole and her staff took such good care of me and are very knowledgeable about curly hair. The space is beautiful and peaceful and the process felt unrushed. And we did a photo shoot after! I highly recommend Salon Mer!

    The best cut and color I ever had came from Salon Mer! Nicole gave me exactly what I wanted which was not an easy task. A brunette to blonde ombré and a-symentrical bob was what I asked for and that is exactly what I got! This hairstyle was so playful and fun and Nicole nailed it. The salon itself is beautiful, calm and relaxing. You will feel like you are at a spa! Nicole is not only so talented but also she is the sweetest!

    This photo is pre-color/cut. One of my favorite things about Salon Mer is bringing my kiddo along. The salon has an adjoining playroom!

    I love getting my hair done at Salon Mer. The cut/color is always beautiful and exactly what I ask for. Nicole welcomes babies in the salon. Today when she vacuumed up hair on the floor, she gave my daughter a tiny vacuum to clean along with her. We have such a great time here, the music, location, vibe, is everything I need and more! We will be back

    After color removal.

    I saw Joy at Salon Mer. She works there once a week and is a long time friend and colleague of the owner Nicole. I loved the salon and the friendly vibe there. Joy is amazing. She took multiple appointments with me for a color correction, starting with a free consultation. My next appointment she was able to remove some very strong red colored conditioner I had used and couldn't get out of my hair. Then she did a balayage on my next appointment and was even able to roll with my change of mind to make it a rose purple instead of straight blonde. (Don't have a picture of the final result unfortunately). Joy is super hard working, friendly, and great to talk to during the inevitable long visit the special color requires.

    I came back to her studio yesterday for a second session for a color correction (from the previous hair dresser before Nicole) and I must say the color has gotten even better and lighter- exactly how i wanted it to be in the first place. She saw what I envisioned! I went from brassy orange dog hair color to a light lavender pearl. also like that she explains the steps during the process with you before she actually does anything to your hair. And when she washes your hair in the sink, her chair lifts up your legs for comfort which i like also, it's so relaxing. Overall, hairdressing with Nicole is another fab time with her once again. She makes me feel looking like a whole new person leaving her studio :) This customer is extremely satisfied. Thanks Nicole!

    I've been seeing Nicole for my hair the last 4 years and I'm so happy she has her very own salon now! Nicole has never done my hair wrong! She listens to what you want and will give you realistic expectations (I went from black to light blonde) and helpful advice. She is very professional, meticulous, and clean! She is also the only one my two toddler boys will let cut their hair. Her salon is spacious, clean and kid friendly, with easy and free street parking! We always look forward to seeing Nicole. Thank you!

    I returned for my third haircut, the first one with Georgina and the second one was with Itzel and…read morethe third one was with Georgina and it is literal perfection. I don't even have words for how happy I am with both of their work. I am 45 and these are the best haircuts I've ever gotten. I'm so glad that they're right down the street from me and I feel like I would be in amazing hands with either stylist. I'm obsessed with how my hair looks.

    Loved this appointment! This salon is located near my old apartment and is very nice!…read more The salon is very neat, well lit, stocked with lots of products. This was my first appointment here and I was with the Hair Stylist Danielle. The appointment was long but I loved the amount of care and effort she put into cutting my hair. I wasn't rushed or anything! I had the sudden urge to cut off all my hair into a bob after seeing my current hair in a picture of me in the sun... My hair was BAD .. I could see the color difference between my natural hair growing out and the old bleached hair that I dyed a chocolate brown. I was panicked when I saw this in my picture... It was literally looking at two separate people's hair. YIKES.. Danielle saved the day! I usually have a tough time finding a good stylist but I'm glad I trusted Danielle with this transition from long to short hair. I've never cut my hair this short .. but I was happy about the results!! She did so well!! I loved it! I'll be back soon for a trim!! Glad I found BIBO Salon! Danielle saved the day!

    This review is for Martha Muga! I am new to the area and have been looking for my go-to stylist,…read moreand I think I've found her. I came in for a full haircut today after a long time going uncut and unstyled, and I feel transformed. She took a look at the photos I wanted to refer to and was immediately confident and flattering--and she executed the perfect cut and style. We had a really lovely and fun conversation that made me feel welcomed and engaged, and I'm excited to come back again soon for future cuts. We talked briefly about the kinds of things she thought would look good for my hair specifically and what it would involve, and I think her eye for style and hair is impeccable. I'd already trust her with anything! I will definitely be coming back. For the shop: It's in the cutest little part of the neighborhood, feels safe and it was kind of quite on a Saturday afternoon with lots of trees and lots of parking. It is near the 57 and the Shellmound bus lines, and it's in walking distance of the Public Market/that area, which is perfect for me. The shop is spacious for having two chairs. It feels special and exclusive but also homey and cozy at the same time. The hair products they use SMELL SO GOOD. I really liked this place and look forward to coming back again.

    When my daughter asked if she could color her hair for the first time for her 16th birthday, I knew…read morethere was only one salon I trusted, Fox & Belle. Before we booked, I reached out to Judy, and she explained all the different color options. Since my daughter had never colored her hair before, it was really helpful to understand the cost, timing, and upkeep. I wanted this to be something she wanted and chose for herself. Having Judy and Cristi incorporate her preferences and keeping her informed by sharing their expertise ensured she would get the full experience and make her feel included. She originally wanted a green ombre, but after learning it would require bleach and a lot of maintenance, she quickly changed her mind. They recommended a lower-maintenance color, but my daughter really wanted it to be a big change so we all agreed that a honey dark blonde would fulfill that and be a great introduction into the responsibility of colored hair. I had to go back home and work and left her in their care but trusted fully and from past experiences, I knew she would be taken care of. My daughter ended up seeing Cristi, and she had such a great experience. She was at the salon for about six hours, and I was worried it was going to be too long, but she had a blast. She watched shows and played games on her iPad, she was offered snacks, and even took a nap as she got her hair washed. Before she knew it, we had returned to pick her up and it was time for the big reveal. They hadn't let her see it until we arrived and she is in love with it. It turned out beautiful, and seeing how happy she was meant everything to me. When I was 16, I used box dye from the store or "Sun in" so being able to give her this experience was really special for me. It also gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands and that her hair was being cared for properly, esp without me being there. Of course, Fox & Belle did an amazing job! Now my 11 year old is already asking when it's her turn. Not anytime soon but when she's ready, I know where exactly where we will be going.

    I've been going to Vichida at Fox and Belle for 2 years now. Vichida is extremely kind, thoughtful,…read moreand talented. She always makes me feel heard and takes the time to ask me detailed questions to make sure that I have a hair cut that makes me feel beautiful. She's is consistent and reliable. I would recommend her to anyone!

    I had both my trial and my wedding day hair and makeup done by Marilyn, and I couldn't have asked…read morefor a better experience! From the moment we met, she made me feel comfortable, listened closely to what I wanted, and was incredibly responsive. Marilyn has the range to create everything from minimalistic looks to full glam, and I appreciated that she never pushed me in either direction. We found the perfect in-between, and during the trial, she patiently worked with me to tweak my makeup and try different hairstyles until it felt just right. Marilyn is also such a wonderful person. She's warm, easy to talk to, and made both the trial and my wedding morning feel calm and enjoyable. She's also part of a network of artists who can step in if something unexpected happens, which gave me extra peace of mind leading up to the big day.

Pricy but worth it, I think I'll get a haircut with more layers next time for the price that is charged :) Would definitely come back, you can tell she is trained very well and really listens to what you want. So happy I found her salon because the last one I went to near Lake Merritt messed up my haircut pretty bad. Would recommend!
