I cannot believe this beauty supply store is in Redwood City. The majority of the time I either…read moredrive to Hayward or SF to get what I need. I've also resulted to buying some products (gels, bonnets, scarves, etc.) from Target or Amazon. I stumbled across La Familia while going to lunch with my husband. I stopped in after lunch and picked up a variety of things--two pressing combs, a HUGE container of eco boost, headbands, a head wrap, and a few other things. They have clip ins, wigs, braiding hair, and all the things you need to keep your hair laid. I was able to browse in peace. I am so glad this store is in Redwood City!

They have a surprisingly large variety of hair to choose from. I love that they have the 36 inch pre-stretched (EZBraid brand) hair, I'm tall (6'0) so this hair is perfect for when I get braids that go past my waist. I even grabbed some curly real hair (Cleopatra brand) so I could switch my braids to Boho. The shop is owned by an older gentleman who was nice and welcoming.

This time around, I went in for a specific purpose--holiday scents for my house. They had soooo many! I purchased several candles and multiple wallflower scents. Then, I couldn't resist had soaps and lotions! The staff were all friendly and helpful. They had two people at the registers and at least two people on the floor. I came back two days later to pick up an online order, and I received the same level of customer service. It's nice that in this same shopping area you have access to Target, Marshall's, and then Bath & Body Works. I'm a fan!

I give her basically zero instruction because I just know she's got it down. Every time I walk out I am so happy. If you are a blonde, definitely go to Shanelle!

The vibe of the salon is also great -- clean, open and bright. There is also ample parking in the lot. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

It was literally less than a half a mile away from me, had everything I need an AMAZING customer service. I can't wait to come back and can't wait to really see what products you have there!

That is, until the last time I went to her. This was a few days before my brothers wedding, and I wanted to get my light brown hair bleached (just touch-ups as my ends were already vivid) so I could apply some vivid color for for the wedding. After applying the bleach, she directed me to the drying chair for processing, while she did other stuff. I sat under the hood for almost 30 minutes without her even checking on me, or her being within reasonable earshot to even ask her if my hair was light enough. When she returned, she took me over to the wash area and washed my hair out. Then used a regular, plastic comb to comb out where the beach had been (all over my head). I could hear the hair ripping, but at this point it was too late. She finished combing out my hair and then blowdried it trying her best to smooth my hair out, which worked enough that I didn't notice how broken my hair was until I got home. The pieces framing my face along with other piece were so broken, they were 2-3 inches long and pin straight. I was absolutely devastated. I messaged Elsa and told her that she broke my hair. She did not apologize, she did not take accountability for what she had done, all she did was send me a link to a hair mask from Amazon. This is not the first time she has done this type of re-bleach on my hair. She has been bleaching my hair in various ways since I was a teenager. But it was the last. It was so heartbreaking to know that I was going to have to go to my brothers wedding with broken hair. And she didnt even offer an "Im sorry".

This is a review of the hair "salon" service in back of the retail store…read more I opted for this place as I'd shopped in the store and used the salon waxing services in the past and had positive experiences. I needed a quick root touch up and it was low cost (about half of a typical salon's price). I learned a harsh lesson in "you get what you pay for." I requested a simple root touch-up to cover my gray roots, explicitly instructing the stylist, Elsa, to preserve my blonde balayage. Instead, she applied a dark brown color and pulled it thru covering my entire head, ruining the balayage and turning my hair a dull brown. This was an amateur mistake, as I've done root touch-ups at home without affecting the rest of my hair. When I asked for face-framing highlights to add warmth to address the darkened hair, I received orange (yes they were burnt orange- thin and patchy) highlights and only placed on top of my head (vs around the face). The trim was also super uneven, compounding the poor service. This was a total disaster and a frustrating experience that ruined my hair -requiring me to completely start all over. I strongly advise against any hair service.
