Kim did an amazing job cutting my hair! Not only was she quick and efficient with her time, but she…read morewas also very attentive and checked in with me consistently to ensure that I was happy with the length, style, and shape of my hair :)

Kim has been my longtime hairstylist, and I honestly can't say enough good things about her. She's…read moreamazing at what she does--every cut is always on point, and she just gets it. I never have to over-explain what I want because she knows exactly how to make it look right for me. She's also one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. I always looked forward to my appointments not just for the results, but for the experience. She was at Simple Hair for so many years, so when she suddenly left, I was honestly so sad and didn't know where to find her. I finally came across her on TikTok and was SO happy I did. I got to see her again today, and it felt like no time had passed. She's still just as talented, professional, and warm as ever. You can tell she truly knows what she's doing and takes pride in her work. If you're looking for someone who listens, delivers consistently great results, and makes you feel comfortable the whole time--Kim is your person. I'm so glad I found her again and won't be going anywhere else!

I would trust Anthony with my life lol. I am so happy with the work he has done on my hair! You can…read moretell he really knows what he's doing - he'll take my ask and through conversation, create a version of it that best suits me. He takes service and experience to the next level, it almost like hiring a consultant for your hair lol. He's very easy to coordinate with logistically as well, and very responsive. The salon has a really nice vibe too - I appreciated how much natural light there was so you can see how your hair looks under something other than fluorescents haha. Highly recommend coming here!

I've been going to J59 (back when it was JulieQ in Mountain View) for over 15 years, so this review…read moreis especially disappointing for me to write. This was the first time I decided to get partial highlights. During my consultation, Stephanie recommended a color approach that sounded good, so I moved forward with both a haircut and highlights appointment. , What surprised me was that they did the haircut first and fully blow-dried my hair to check the cut before starting the highlighting process. After the highlights were applied, my grays still weren't covered, so they did an additional touch-up. That meant my hair was blow-dried multiple times in a single appointment, including after bleaching. I left with hair that felt significantly drier than before. I was also unhappy with the initial color result because the highlights looked patchy. To their credit, the salon contacted me and offered to bring me back for a correction, which I appreciated. At the follow-up appointment, Stephanie showed me a chocolate brown highlight color and asked if I liked it. I said yes, and she explained that a toner would be an easy fix. After the toner was applied, however, the highlights were essentially no longer visible. I have naturally dark hair, and now it looks very close to my original color. The end result is that after multiple chemical processes, multiple rounds of heat styling, several hours in the salon, and over $300 spent, I no longer have visible highlights, and my hair feels dry, brittle, and damaged. I appreciate that the salon attempted to correct the issue, but unfortunately, the final result left me disappointed. After more than 15 years as a customer, this experience has made me feel like I need to look elsewhere for future color services.

Yeye is a really good hair stylist and it shows! She understands what haircuts will suit you well…read moreand she isn't afraid to tell you her recommendations. I've seen her twice now: the first time was in November of 2024, and the second time was recently. The first time I saw her I got a short haircut and I was nervous about whether or not it would suit me as I've had long hair for the majority of my life. However, she reassured me that she wouldn't agree to the haircut if she didn't think it would suit me. In the end I was very happy and satisfied! She also helped thin out my hair as I had told her that my hair was feeling very dense and heavy. She's extremely knowledgeable and could tell that I had cut my own bangs haha. This second time I saw her I actually hadn't had a haircut since my first visit so it had grown out quite a bit. I told her I wanted a hush cut and that I had the same concerns about the weight of my hair. Again, she helped lighten the weight as well as gave me the exact cut that I wanted. She also didn't judge me for dyeing my own hair ash brown and even said I did a good job making it even! Overall, I highly recommend Yeye as a hair stylist and I'll definitely be seeing her again! She's very kind, easy to talk to, and an extremely skilled and knowledgeable hair stylist.

I came to Yeye quite some time ago -- I was so excited to see a salon providing color analysis…read moreservices in the area! It seems to be very on trend right now, and I was determined to polish my personal style. Also, you can bring a friend for a 2-person session! Yeye is very good at giving her honest opinion so.. don't come if you're not ready for honesty. She showed me colors I look best in, as well as colors that are not my best. At first I thought the analysis would only include color draping but she truly went above and beyond. She even told me what hairstyles would suit my face shape best, and what hair colors to go for. The whole process was thorough -- she even did an analysis of my makeup and was determined to find a lip shade that suited my complexion, which is something even I have been struggling with since I started wearing makeup. Yeye also gave me clothing recommendations such as neckline styles that would suit me. The experience felt personalized and I have incorporated her advice into my shopping habits even months later. After our appointment she sent me home with a bunch of style guides along with outfit and hair inspo. I truly feel she has helped me elevate my style this year. I shopped according to my color season and I feel a lot more confident in my personal style. After having blonde hair for so long she convinced me to go brunette and I have no regrets. I'd highly recommend Yeye's color analysis service to anyone looking to change up their look/wardrobe and elevate their personal style. (Disclaimer: my hair color was done at a different salon)

I've been with Thy for over a decade. She's been there for me through multiple life events and…read morecountless hair transformations. I still remember what first drew me in - and what probably drew you in to read this review: endless photos of gorgeous, luscious, silky, perfectly dimensional colored hair that looked like it was done by a celebrity stylist. She's only gotten more skilled over the years, and her clientele more loyal. Thy's work always feels classy, polished, and effortlessly luxurious -- never overdone, never trendy in a way that feels temporary. There's an elegance in how she colors hair and styling that makes the final result look timeless. Not only is she an artist, but she listens carefully, takes everything you say into consideration, and also gives honest, expert advice -- including when the answer is, "No, I'm not going to bleach your whole head of hair." You can immediately tell she has a quiet, resolute dedication to delivering her best every single time, no matter how many times you've been in her chair. Thy is exceptional, and if you're lucky enough to book her, I promise you'll walk out of the salon smiling and taking a million selfies.

Made my appointment in good faith. Heather charges $75 if you cancel outside of a 48-hour window…read morebefore your appointment. I agree completely. Five hours before my appointment, Heather texts me to ask if I can come in with 50-minutes' notice. My first appointment. Who does this? I was shocked and explained that I couldn't do it as I work, which is why my appointment was scheduled outside of work hours. Heather countered with an offer of either a morning appointment or two slots in the middle of the afternoon. These appointments were for the next week. Still in opposition to normal work hours. Are you kidding me? Heather, your inability to professionally time manage is not your new client's problem. It is rude to ask a new client to come in early to suit you. I am early to every service appointment. Always. You should expect that your clients show up on time and have the funds to pay for it. Instead, because I have the audacity to take exception to your unprofessional behavior, you tell me I am entitled. Entitled because I have the expectation that a service provider be able to time manage? Entitled because I can't leave my job to be at your salon within 50 minutes of your text? I'll tell you what I should be entitled to...a $75 cancellation credit from YOU!

The first time I went to Heather back in February, our first hour together was just talking about…read morehair care and advice. She made me feel like she truly cared for the health of my hair. Not many hairstylists will do that!! This was one of the main reasons I kept coming back, besides the amazing job she does on my hair ;)) Throughout the entire process, she's been so attentive with what products she uses to ensure my hair is still healthy with the color I choose. My last appointment I went with cherry brown with some purple tones in it. It faded super nice and I still had people complimenting on my hair. I loved the color so much I decided to get it again with a little more red in it! I also love the curated cut she gave me. She never disappoints!! I absolutely trust her with my hair!! Her salon is located inside Salon Republic. Tip: I usually park in the Target parking structure and walk around the building. (Photos are from two different sessions)

I asked for a rounded haircut with lots of layers and face-framing pieces and I showed her my inspo photos as well. She first washed my hair and then got started on the cut. Yessenia did an amazing job! She was friendly and professional and gave me exactly what I requested. I wasn't sure whether to go with lighter or heavier curtain bangs/face-framing pieces, and she knew exactly what would suit me when she suggested sticking with lighter face framing. She also somehow managed to style my frizzy Indian hair perfectly without using much tension on the brush, which was shocking to me. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Yessenia and Essence Salon and will definitely be returning!

I could go on and on... she really has a sense of respect with her clients that I appreciate the most. She listens to exactly what you want and doesn't pressure you to do something she prefers or thinks would look better. Side story: I've been traumatized by other stylists cutting off a foot of hair, when I just ask for a 3 inch trim. Marlise has been the FIRST stylist that actually listens and did not go overboard. When she was done, I was surprised that she listened and even told her she could cut more! LOL!! Anyways, her studio is gorgeous, spacious and has good vibes all around. She is easy to book with and I met one of her assistants, Tori and she is a sweetheart too!! I had a mid-quarantine crisis back in July 2020 and cut/colored my hair myself. I did red tones, that Marlise worked her magic to lift out. Peep the pics!!
