I received a hair transplant in 2024, and 2017 from this clinic. Dr Canales is a good person and…read moregenuine. He is just not very involved in the procedure. Which I didn't like. The nurses who were involved in my procedures were not focused, mingling amongst one another/distracted, it was very unprofessional. I went to one of the top surgeons in the world located in Sofia, Bulgaria Dr. Zarev for a consultation. Arguably one of the best surgeons in the world when dealing with high Norwood cases. The grafts placed in my hairline didn't look natural at all. A lot of gaps, no single grafts along the hairline, and very pluggy appearance, and large punch sizes, a lot of see through due to the grafts not being placed in an angle. Dr. Zarev told me I would be a repair case. A surgeons job to over see and Dr. Canales failed at that. In my follow ups with Dr. Canales it just seemed like he didn't care about my concerns. My growth in the crown from the transplant never grew and he kept saying they will grow and that was 2 year follow up. I have learned a lot about hair transplants in the last few years and have learned from my mistakes in terms of choosing a surgeon. Thankfully even after my botched hair transplants I have 8,800 grafts left for a lifetime with Dr. Zarev the surgeon I consulted with due to higher level of donor management and tools. This clinic is amateur in comparison to other clinics abroad and technology is behind. Do your research! Go on the hair transplant network forum and research these Dr's. The results are sub par they don't look natural and the thing with hair transplants you want them to look like nothing ever happened. And don't be fooled by Dr. Canales in studio cameras. The lighting favors the results, but when you look in close view or sunlight the results are not there. Yes you will never get your original density as you once did. But there are clinics that will mitigate the see through effect on transplants. Nurses should not be implanting grafts it should be the surgeon! They should only sort the grafts into single, doubles, and triples. The surgeon at the end should implant them. Hope this helps. A hair transplant is a really personal thing and important if you don't have a surgeon who is involved and cares they can ruin your donor.

Kelly knows her stuff! Look no further if you're like me and are experiencing hair thinning. I…read morecouldn't be more satisfied with my beautiful hair topper and Kelly's expertise and guidance. The color and style are a perfect match and now I look like me again! Her friendly but professional no-nonsense approach is so refreshing, especially after all the bad experiences I've had lately in trying to solve my thinning hair problem. I bought many toppers online claiming to be real hair, none of them worked, color was off, style was off and they are all in the garbage now! Then I went to another "hair loss specialist"salon also in San Mateo and was required to pay $100.00 for a consultation which was really about selling me extensions that are glued in and need redoing frequently at a hefty charge. This is after I clearly said I didn't want extensions. I was offered the option of buying a topper that would cost over $3k. There were no sample toppers in various styles to try on before sinking thousands of dollars site unseen and not returnable. The only samples there were to show color and all were long straight hair, no shorter styles, nothing curly. You'd basically need to special order it and fingers crossed, you like it because there are no returns. Why she couldn't have purchased some samples herself to have for potential customers to try before buy, I don't know..... I was also required to sign a legal contract before my consultation stating that I won't write a negative review, and allowing a photo release. And a bunch of other no-no's. All just to be ABLE to come in! None of this ridiculousness with Kelly though, just good products, displaying lots of sample styles and colors to try on and choose from. Great products, great service and prices that are literally HALF the cost of the other salon and fast too!, less than a week! I'll be a lifetime happy customer of Kelly Dinger!

Em is that girl. She's THE west coast hair expert and I couldn't be more grateful to have met her…read more I have been struggling with an autoimmune condition for most of my life and unfortunately, my hair has taken the brunt of my disease. A couple of years ago, I decided to invest in a mesh-integrated system from an out-of-state salon to cover my hair loss. This system was somewhat less expensive than the piece Em created for me, but it ultimately cost me much more in so many different ways. I paid more out of pocket during each visit, I enjoyed the system for less than half of the time that I wore it, and I learned to ignore the truly severe discomfort I experienced following each visit. Then, I moved to SF and I found Emily and the Bond Hair Bar team. Not only do they excel in timeliness and creating a personalized piece that is gorgeous, but the salon is filled with warmth and an energy that instantly lets you know that you're in caring, capable, and trustworthy hands. I started with a consult and was fitted with a personalized piece a couple days later...give them a call and schedule a consult!

I don't normally write reviews, but after a distressing and painful experience, I feel obligated to…read moreshare what happened. I came in specifically for a consultation and service regarding sew-in wefts, wanting to switch to a thinner weft method. Instead of listening, Emily repeatedly insisted that I didn't have enough hair for extensions and pressured me to shave my head for a glued topper. (I have since consulted three other Bay Area extension specialists, and all three confirmed I have plenty of hair for thinner wefts.) When I refused to shave my head, she pushed a clip-in topper priced at $X,XXX, which I later discovered retails elsewhere for roughly $650. During that same visit, she cut my existing extensions far too short. We nonetheless placed an order for the new thinner wefts. On installation day, the newly ordered wefts arrived in completely the wrong color due to a lack of proper color swatches during our initial consultation. Most frustratingly, I explicitly requested from my very first booking that only Emily perform the work, as I was paying for senior-level expertise. Instead, she handed me off to an assistant to reinstall my old wefts, then acted as though waiving the reinstallation fee was a favor--even though the reinstallation was only necessary because of her initial color-matching mistake. Within 48 hours, the tension and pain from the assistant's installation became severe. Another salon had to perform an emergency removal, documenting visible scalp redness, tension, and inflammation (see attached photo). When I reached out to Emily regarding the severe pain and improper tension, there was zero concern for my scalp health or safety. Instead of checking the work, she responded with immediate hostility, condescension, and intimidation. Her direct text response: "Where are you at? I need to come and have a face-to-face conversation with you and this is not gonna go back-and-forth. Vxxxxx would not be on my schedule if she did not do good work. If she placed them too lightly, you would complain they're getting loose and falling out of your head and causing hair loss also if theres room to pull, do you understand me? It is not rocking science to learn how to do this on a doll head for six months straight. She does the same work I do. She does not want them to fall out of your head. Because then your issue would be a different issue they're falling out and you wanna come back and have them replaced. Unless you're gonna come in and have a face-to-face conversation, I do not expect to hear another text back from you. Thank you for your understanding. Lastly, I don't need to hear your rationalization about how long someone should be practicing one service in your eyes to be good at what they do. She's doing my work exactly as I've trained her to do for over six months on a doll head. Thank u and good bye" Final takeaway: While I initially booked here based on many positive reviews, my experience proved that true professionalism isn't measured when things go smoothly, it is measured by how a business responds when something goes wrong. When a client explicitly requests an experienced senior stylist to avoid injury, handing them off to an assistant and justifying it by saying they 'practiced on a doll head' is completely unacceptable, especially when it results in real scalp inflammation and pain. When a client reports pain, demanding face-to-face confrontations, talking down to them, and issuing ultimatums is entirely unprofessional. Past good reviews never excuse hostility. Every client deserves respect, and client safety and consent must always come before ego.

Bought a Groupon for eyelash extensions since the deal was pretty cheap for lashes and even after…read moreseeing the bad reviews, I still chose to give it a shot since I like to find things out for myself. I noticed that a lot of people commented saying that it only took 30 minutes to do the lashes, so I was interested about that since every place I've ever been to usually takes an hour to an hour and a half. She recommended a natural look but adding a cat eye look to it. She did indeed finish pretty fast (about 40 minutes + 5 min to dry). When it came to the results, unfortunately I was running behind schedule so I didn't get to take a good look at my lashes (which is on me), but one eye had the cat eye look and the other didn't at all. Looked pretty silly. 4 days pass and my lashes are coming off in CLUMPS. I called her 5 days after I got my lashes done and told her how they look and she just said that it's "normal for lashes to come off" and questioned when I got them and just didn't seem to take me seriously or care and told me to come in 3 days because she "couldn't" any sooner. By the time 3 days pass my lashes were going to be even less and then I'm pretty sure she was just going to end up charging me for a fill which I was NOT going to do. So I didn't end up going in and I'm just letting the lashes fall off completely. Last thing, YES it is normal for lashes to fall off but lash by lash and little by little and that's IF it's good quality lashes and technique. Lashes falling off in clumps is NOT normal. I guess you get what you pay for!

I have not yet received the service, I will update this review when I do. But I want to share my experience with Teresa for the consultation service. I reached out to a few eyeliner tattoo services in the Bay Area, some charged just for a 15-minute consultation, and some did not spend the time to answer my questions (this is a PERMANENT decision! I do not want to make the decision lightly and just pressured me to make an appointment and put down a deposit. However, Teresa scheduled a free 30-minute consultation with me in which she answered all my questions. At no point did she pressure me to make an appointment just so she could charge me for her service. It was obvious she cared a lot and wanted me to make a decision that I would be happy with in the years to come. For example, when I asked for a more prominent outer line, she explained to me how it would translate as I get older and how it may look more unnatural at different angles. I was so glad I made this consultation with her because I learned a lot about permanent eyeliner tattoos and what to consider. Seeing the tattoo she has on herself and how it fades in the long term (she's had it for 7-8 years I think?) it was super informative as well. It fades a bit in color but in a natural way that blends in with your lash line, and it made me want to get the tattoo as long as it's done by someone who knows what they're doing! If you're considering getting an eyeliner tattoo but you're not sure if it's right for you, make a consultation with Teresa! She will be able to guide you through things to consider without pressure to make an appointment and pay anything upfront before you're ready.
