I had the BEST experience with Alicia Giles today! I went in with a complete hair disaster -- I…read morehadn't had my hair cut or colored in over a year -- and Alicia spent FOUR hours transforming it into something absolutely beautiful. She really understood my hair type and knew exactly how to approach the color without over-highlighting it, especially knowing my toner tends to wash out quickly. That level of knowledge and attention made such a difference. My hair looks healthy, dimensional, and honestly better than I hoped for. I left feeling like myself again. Thank you, Alicia, for your patience, skill, and amazing work. Highly recommend!

Five stars for Justin!! I am new to the Bay, hadn't yet found the colorist who would understand my…read morehair and the look I wanted. I booked with Justin at Salon 1500 based on reviews. He reached out for a conversation before I came in and I knew I was in good hands. And then I was BLOWN AWAY by what he was able to achieve!! I had expected it would take a few visits to get there. Justin knows hair!! There is a science and an art to color, especially for those of us wanting dimensional color. Justin has both expertise and artistry!! I'm just delighted. I want to also mention that the salon itself is lovely. Spacious and airy, with a sweet back patio. I loved the art, too. The whole experience was uplifting! Justin is easy to talk to, the vibes are chill. I'm including before and after photos in hopes that my review might help someone else in a similarly desperate situation. You can trust Justin at Salon 1500!! He's awesome!!

I am so happy to have found kelly and this salon! I have been dying/bleaching my hair to blonde and…read morelight colors for years. I recently just moved here and blessed that my first salon did their job nicely. I had blonde long hair with roots grown out. I got ombré ash blonde, it took about 5 hours for the whole process and it was $280 (tip 20% for total of $336). Kelly and her assistant were mindful and gentle with my hair, and the process was very smooth. She also added a mask and other products to make sure my hair isn't dead haha The salon itself is very well kept and clean, which is a huge plus for me. There is street parking and I didn't have trouble finding any on a Thursday afternoon. Overall, I will be coming here for all my hair requests. Recommend for any bleached hair girlies out there!

She also made sure before she did larger cuts that I was comfortable with the length and letting me know how my hair would flow if I went one way vs the other.

When other places have raised their prices, they have slowly gone up with inflation but kept prices reasonable. Service has always been great, they make sure to prioritize your appointment (sometimes a gentle reminder helps) and when things aren't busy walk-ins are welcome. It's a great place for a cut and reminds me of the haircut places in so-cal!

I can't say enough great things about this place. My husband started going here recently and they…read morehave been his best haircuts he's ever gotten. There are 2 ladies that work (Cindy is the best!) and they are great and always on time. They pay such great attention to detail while still being super efficient.

It's very hard to find someone who cuts Asian hair well and Yao, does it perfectly each time! He's always super friendly too and easy to chat with. He takes his time cutting your hair and keeps asking questions to keep you involved in the process to make sure it's what you want. My family lives in Alameda, but I live in Elk Grove l, and I will happily drive back and wait until I'm back in Alameda to get my haircut here. It's super easy to book on their website too.

It's crazy to say but I've been getting my hair done by Jessie for the past 11 years, and I truly…read morecan't recommend her enough. Over the years, I've watched her grow from renting a chair in different salons to accomplishing the amazing milestone of owning her own space. It's been so inspiring to see her success. Jessie is incredibly sweet, selfless, and one of the most personable people you'll ever meet. I'll admit I once made the mistake of going somewhere else, and quickly learned my lesson-- no one compares to her work or the experience she provides. Going blonde isn't a quick process, but Jessie always checks in throughout the appointment to make sure you're comfortable. She truly cares about the health of your hair and is always continuing her education to stay up to date with the best techniques. She also recommends high-quality products to help you maintain your hair between visits. I constantly get compliments on my hair, and it's all thanks to Jessie's talent. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and takes pride in their craft, leave it into the hands of Jessie!!
