    My hair before Lindsey cut it. Very choppy and not blended.

    I have been a loyal customer to Lindsey since she was at Wild Orchids, but I recently moved away and got a haircut by a new stylist. Huge mistake! As you can see in the photos provided my hair was fixed by Lindsey! She knew exactly what to do and straightened it to make sure everything was even and blended. I will continue to make the trip to get my haircut by her because she is truly amazing!!

    Megan gave me a great trim and added layers to create volume. Thanks, Doll!

    I'm very new in town and was in need of a hair lift. Found this place and questioned why I had to wait so long for an appointment. But, followed my gut and scheduled one. I waited a few weeks and so happy I did. Megan texted me the new address because they moved - super nice and considerate of her. There is a reason why it's appointment only... these girls kick butt. I'm so impressed by their professionalism yet homey appeal. And, their skills are hands down the best I've experienced. For a simple trim and added layers, Megan took her time and used techniques I have never seen. This is my new go to place for sure - worth the wait!

    Megan decided to go out on her own, I've loved my amazing color.............so I followed! She used to be at Wild Orchids a wild and (fun) place, but after being there many years I think she was ready for her own little place. And she found an amazing, cute little spot that's clean and quiet and just perfect amount of room for her and a nail technician (also a gal from Wild Orchids). So the two of them have a great place to create in a calm atmosphere. I know she loved all the years of camaraderie and high volume that swirled around her chair. But I think she was ready to settle in to her own, and be in charge of her destiny. You walk in and they both greet you "hello"!!! It's comfortable and I get great hair. I love that I can walk in with my "hot mess" of a head of hair and Megan transforms me into rockstar status! I'm currently rockin' dark hair with some wild purple and red highlights, I'm constantly getting compliments. People love her work, and so do I. And when I get bored, Megan will come up with new colors or another cut that cool and funky. I drive many miles to get my hair done, but when it's done right....well it's worth it.

    FINALLY a hair dresser that KNOWS hair! Stephanie Aiello, you are amazing!! The picture speaks for itself!!

    I was looking for a VERY local place to get my hair done, because I have a one-year old and my husband and I work opposite shifts, so there's very little wiggle room time for me to escape for a haircut. Also was looking for somewhere with a more reasonable price. And also for a place that's open on Saturdays. Well, I found Secret Garden on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I had no idea I was about to discover the cutest, quaintest little place, and a hairdresser with not only great skills, but an adorable personality. I had such a good feeling about the place, I told Megan to basically do what she wanted with my hair, and came out with a hairstyle I've never had before that is super cute on me. I have always wanted to have a hairdresser that I trust enough to say that to, and now I do! The shop itself is so cozy and nicely put together. Megan and Kari did all of the work themselves, apparently, which is very impressive. Oh, and did I mention that I was in and out of there in about 50 minutes? (Although, quite frankly, I wanted to stay....) I sincerely hope this great little gem of a find is the beginning of a revitalization that downtown Oakley desperately needs. Good work, Megan and Kari! I am sending friends your way!

    Just one room in the Secret Garden Salon.

    Secret Garden Salon is a great place to get your hair and nails done. (Even a hand-sprayed tan!) The atmosphere is very homey and comfortable. The staff makes you feel welcome, and everyone there including the clients are very nice and sociable. They also have the little niceties of refreshments and little snacks. Oh, and they do awesome work! I met Megan while I was living in the East Bay. I live 2-hours away, since 2010, and I would rather come to Secret Garden Salon, then go to another salon closer to me.

    Megan bleached/ added this beautiful color scheme without the bat of an eye! So amazing.

I just love how I show Hong a picture of what I want and she never fails!!! She also does a great job if you're in that in between with gray transition.

Have…read moregotten there on time the last few times I've booked with her, but she's always been late and does take a little long to set up shop. I've actually never had a problem with her work, and have found myself coming back every single time. But the punctuality was definitely starting to get old now. The reason I'm giving a 1 star review, is because she over-processed my hair to the point where I've had to cut the length off by a lot now due to HORRIBLE breakage. I had an appointment with her in the morning, and she was 20 min late. I didn't mind this time, but I did tell her we needed to finish on time because I had work later on in the day. During the processing point, she took 2 walk in haircuts back to back. I started noticing time go by, and was concerned at how long I had the foil in my hair for. Mind you, I did tell her that I was on crunch time, as she kept getting sidetracked majority of the time, checking her phone a lot + the 2 walk ins. By the time she got to my hair, I was super super behind on time. I think she probably took over 45 min to check on my hair even though I told her I'm sure my hair was ready for the foils to be taken out. I reiterated to her that if she was going to take walk ins and be late to her booked appt, to have booked me for another time where she can really devote her time and effort, and not give a half effort. My hair as the days came, really felt like spaghetti. I literally cried cause I knew I was going to have to cut it due to severe damage. Went to another stylist to cut my hair and they told me I had to cut off a lot, and that my hair was in a super fragile state that needed deep treatment. I love Cindy but due to the horrible time management and lack of efforts in our last few appointments, I sadly don't think I'll be returning back, in fear of damaging my hair again to the point of no fixing.
