She also…read morelistened with kindness to my boundaries - I've been working on growing my hair out for 5+ years after so many stylists just cut off so much more than I wanted. She listened, explained to me the difference between what I said I wanted versus what she was able to do within my limitations, and I love it. After 2 weeks of outgrowth, I notice my hair so much more in the mirror or just in moments where I'm like DAMN I love this cut. I know it will last me a long time and it was worth the investment to do a cut like this and know that the grow out pattern will be beautiful and clean

Still going to Nicole and still walk out loving my hair. She's moved, I've moved - I tried other…read moreplaces during those moves, but I kept coming back. So now she's stuck with me! It's also a perk knowing the extra education and training she has done since I first started seeing her until now and the quality of her service shows. She is currently in a private salon of just her and it is very comfortable and welcoming (the snacks and drinks she keeps on hand for her clients are a nice treat.) Oh - I can't forget the full stock of hair products is a convenient perk, too. I've also found her prices to be fair with the going rate these days. I could go on and on about my positive experience with Nicole, but it's just words. I would definitely recommend her!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about House of Blonde and Casandra! After moving to…read moreCalifornia, I spent nearly two years searching for the perfect hairstylist, and I am so grateful that I finally found her. From my very first appointment, Casandra made me feel completely comfortable and cared for. That appointment involved a major blonde transformation, so I was in the salon for quite a while. She even went out of her way to make sure I had a meal, which says so much about the kind of person she is. She is incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and accommodating, and she genuinely cares about every person who sits in her chair. Beyond providing an amazing client experience, Casandra is exceptionally talented. I have been blonde for almost my entire life, and my hair has never looked this beautiful while also feeling this healthy. She truly understands blonding and knows how to create gorgeous results without compromising the health of your hair. I am constantly amazed by her attention to detail, her knowledge, and the care she puts into everything she does. Casandra is genuinely the best hairstylist I have ever been to. Finding someone you completely trust with your hair is not easy, especially after moving somewhere new, and I feel so lucky to have found her. If you are looking for a talented, kind, thoughtful, and incredibly skilled stylist, I could not recommend Casandra and House of Blonde more highly. She is truly amazing at what she does, and I am beyond grateful to be her client!

I reached out to get my black hair colored to a vibrant color and was met with friendly and…read moreprofessional service all the way through. Cassandra returned my initial message and recommended Milan as a great fit to do my hair. They offer complimentary 30 min consultations where you can chat and go through photos with the stylist about what you want. My hair was previously colored, so they also took a test strand to see if my hair would lighten the way they expected. Milan reached out to me after testing and indicated we likely wouldn't be able to achieve the original color I wanted (blue) as my test strand didn't lighten enough, but recommended a vibrant purple instead with some photo references. I really appreciated that they provide this consultation, because it saves both parties the disappointment when the color doesn't come out as expected after hours of working on it. Once you're ready to go, you can make a booking on their website -- Milan let me know the type of service & how long to book for. Each stylist's pricing by the hour is listed clearly on their site (and when making an appointment), and is inclusive of all services, so there's no surprises fees at checkout (additional fee applies if paying by card, but they take zelle/check/cash too). The actual blonding & coloring process took exactly the time that Milan quoted me. She was super friendly and professional the entire process, as were the other staff members in the salon that day, making sure I had water or something to drink. The color came out super well and I'm still loving it. Milan also kindly followed up with some maintenance tips to keep the color vibrant for longer. I have also been getting compliments on my hair from various folks and I can't thank Milan enough for the great experience and awesome hair color I walked out with. Definitely consider House of Blonde for your hair needs -- they definitely know how to work with all kinds of hair and get you the look you want. Will definitely be back the next time my hair is due for a new shade ;)

I recently moved from SF to Mountain View and the service I received was frankly even better than many of the other high end salons I've visited. I received a full set of highlights from Brianna and she did an amazing job! It looked super natural and I exactly like the pictures I brought in. I'm not sure how she managed to work her magic and make my hair ashy brown like I've always wanted, but I am super impressed! I would definitely recommend her and the salon. I'll be going back for a haircut soon. The front desk team was super friendly and nice. They made me a dirty soda too, which was super yummy! The atmosphere was busy for a Friday morning and the music was fun. So excited to have found a great place in the South Bay! Easy to park and turn it into a full day with brunch or lunch in downtown Campbell.

I waited a few days to write this review so I could see how my hair looked after styling it myself…read more-- and I'm really happy with the results. This was my first visit to Curls Hair Salon and my first time having my hair cut dry ("little nervous" is an understatement). Marcella and team were patient, paid close attention to detail, and took their time with both the cut and style. The result? My hair is curlier, holds its shape longer, and feels much easier to manage. Yes, the service is on the expensive side, but I was told I likely won't need another cut for up to ~9 months -- which makes the price comparable to other Los Gatos salons where I was going every 3-4 months. Overall, a great experience and worth it for the quality and longevity of the cut.

There's so much to look at from the wall of products to the screen on the side playing super helpful tips and product recommendations. Gissell is not only incredibly talented in the craft of curly cuts but she is such a sweet person in general. I felt comfortable sharing past experiences as well as what I wanted this time. She listened to each and every concern I had and every step of the way made sure I was happy with the outcome. The curly cut I chose had wash and style in it and wow that conditioner massage was too good! She let me know all the products she was using on my hair as well as giving me tips on how to style my hair and what products to use at home!! Which I so appreciated because taking care of curly hair is hard! I've gotten a curly cut before and it was nowhere near this good. I will certainly be back and I can't wait to hang out with Gissell again in a couple months!

I recently visited Fox & Rose Salon for a color service with Rachael. I had a consultation…read morebeforehand where we discussed my hair history and the look I wanted. The salon's website encouraged clients to share their full hair history, and I did that because I know color can be difficult to get right. Based on our conversation, I left with the understanding that achieving my desired result would not be an issue. I want to say that I really like the salon itself. The space is lovely, the atmosphere is positive, the staff are welcoming, and the client experience feels thoughtful. Unfortunately, the color service was very disappointing. I came in with grown-out, uneven color and asked for an overall lighter golden brown with a dimensional dusty rose balayage. I also brought reference photos to the appointment. The final result was not close to what we discussed. Instead of a soft, blended look, my hair had stripe-like sections, and the rose tone faded almost immediately. Five days later, after only one wash, all of the pink is gone, and the color still looks uneven and brassy in places. See attached photos (the pink reference is what I asked for and the other 2 photos are what I got). What was most frustrating was the lack of discussion at the end of the appointment. It seemed clear that the result was not what I had asked for, but I was not shown the back of my hair, and there was no real conversation about the outcome or possible next steps. I did not raise it in the moment because I had already been there for several hours and wanted time to look at it fully before judging the final result. For a service that cost over $700, I expected something more polished and aligned with the consultation. I understand that hair coloring is not an exact science, but I do think it is important to be realistic about what can be achieved and to address it openly when the outcome does not match the client's expectations. I may still return to Fox & Rose for a haircut because I genuinely liked the salon environment! For color services, though, I would just caution clients to be very clear about expectations, share their full hair history, and be prepared that the result may not match what was discussed.

I have been seeing Linda for over 10 years and followed her from her previous salon. I drive from the East Bay to Saratoga just to go to Lotus Salon. That's how long I've known her and trusted her amazing talent, skills, & staff. Now she owns this salon and I couldn't be more proud and happy for her success. Her staff are all beautiful, service oriented, highly skilled, excellent at customer service, and professional! From the moment you walk in, they have a curated playlist that fits the modern vibe of the salon. They offer you drinks and even wine or champagne! Which is a plus. The salon has a nice, clean vibe, & cozy feel. Right in downtown Saratoga. When I first met Linda, I had some brassy dry hair and needed a new-do and self care. I looked at yelp reviews and wanted to try Linda. She immediately recommended me to go with a darker color and use some hair products to strengthen and get my hair back to a healthier state. I loved the dark new look and how much softer and healthier my hair was. Then 9 months later, I decided to get highlights for the summer. Linda did such an amazing job with my color and highlights. I received so many compliments. Until this day, I alter between having darker low lights during the fall/winter then highlights in the spring/summer seasons. Each time I have an appointment, I trust Linda's expertise on her assessment and care with whatever my hair care needs are. I come out feeling and looking beautiful than when I came in. She uses excellent and quality products too. For some people, it may be pricey, but you get what you pay for when it comes quality work. If you're not satisfied, she will recommend what's best for you and fix it. I love her honesty. Linda has also trained so many staff who want to move up in the cosmetology/hair industry and have succeeded. Linda and her staff keep up with the latest trends, styles, & technique which is awesome. I see so many other hair stylists there who also have a lot of clients. I highly recommend this salon if you want to look amazing and get quality self care. Thank you so much Linda for everything you do! You are truly a talented stylist and the best hair dresser in the world!
