I'm so glad I found Salon Cozzolino -- and specifically Mica. From the moment I sat down, Mica made me feel completely at ease. She was attentive, asked before using any products, and checked in to make sure I was comfortable throughout. I came in for a clear gloss, cut, and blow dry, and the results were honestly stunning -- my hair is shiny, healthy-looking, and still styles beautifully the next day. If you're new to the area and dreading the search for a new stylist (like I was), stop here. Mica is the real deal.

I'm cray, right? Can't be done you say. Oh how wrong you would be. Turns out Anna at Halo had time, skillz and style on tap. I walked into the cute, clean, airy shop and was immediately proffered a glass of lemon water, while asked intelligent questions about my hair plan. She then styled it exactly like the photo I'd shown her in short order. She even threw in a random fishtail-braiding tutorial just because I asked! In short--I came, I got fluffed, and I left feeling like Heidi Klum at a Victoria's Secret shoot one hour later, all for fifty bucks plus tip. Someone get this girl a mimosa!

I've been going to Dry Bar for years & was SUPER sad/shocked when I found out they closed down the…read moreSantana Row location - as a result, I had to find another nearby blow dry hair bar (last minute) to get my hair done for my anniversary dinner. I know how thin & stubborn my hair can be & am almost certain no stylist can ever blow dry any curls in my hair without tools...but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and made an appointment anyway because it was a last minute decision. I walked in a bit early so another stylist took a stab at my hair (and spent about 10-15 minutes working on it) before my assigned stylist took over - after about 10-15 minutes, she asked me if it's OK to use a curling iron...of course I said "yes" knowing it was gonna end up that way...her manager also approved using it without charging me extra because she also saw how much trouble both stylists had with my hair... I'm glad I at least gave them a try so I know they can't meet the needs of my hair (without paying extra for curling iron)!

UPDATE: We appreciate Bfab's efforts to rectify and explain things and so have adjusted our review…read more We hired Mellisa and Praxi for our wedding. I have no complaints about Praxi. She came early and did her job well. The one star is because of the other artist who did not bring her makeup. Yes, you read that right. The makeup artist did not bring her makeup kit other than some foundation and setting spray. The experience was so poor it greatly outweighed any positives we experienced with the other artist. Rather than taking care of it herself, she went around asking two other makeup artists we hired from another company if she could use their makeup supplies. That created an uncomfortable environment because they were put in a difficult spot of rightfully not wanting to lend their professional supplies to a stranger, but also not wanting to make it a bigger scene on someone's wedding if they said no. I had to pause my own bridal makeup and hair session to try to find any makeup I had around my parent's house she could use. I think about an hour in was when she finally decided to Doordash some makeup when she should have done that the moment she realized she didn't bring her supplies. She started the first bridesmaid makeup at 7:30 and at 9:30 (which was our planned end time) she had still not finished. We moved onto the second bridesmaid's hair at 9:30 and that seemed to go a lot smoother luckily. When the Doordash order came, there was no lipstick because I guess the store was out of stock of the shade she chose. The makeup artist also did not seem to have much experience or perhaps she was so nervous that she could not do makeup the way she normally might because I heard them trying work on her eyeliner for about 20 minutes due to it repeatedly not coming out right and saw the makeup artist asking a lot of questions when most could probably be figured out just by looking at the makeup inspo picture. It was also uncomfortable that she went into detail about forgetting her makeup kit because she recently started seeing a doctor for ADHD and started new medication 1 month ago. I don't think this is something she needed to share with us. One of my bridesmaid said during her session several different TMI excuses were brought up as well. Ultimately, we left at 10:10am, 40 minutes later than planned, with one bridesmaid still unsatisfied with her makeup (we could not wait any longer) and the other bridesmaids uncomfortable with her lack of professionalism. I'm sure there were likely other things that went wrong. These are just the things I noticed as the bride who was busy getting her makeup and hair done myself. I did hear from a bridesmaid that we would not be getting charged for her services, but I did not hear this myself directly or received any communication from bfab about this experience.

Last night, 7:45pm, my devastated child came home with the absolutely worst ever haircut- we just…read morecouldn't believe our eyes, and there were so many tears! He just wanted it shorter around the ear- how could that be misunderstood??? It was a true emergency, because there was no way I would let my child go through the humiliation of going to school the next day like that. It was really THAT bad! I started dialing and hoping some kind person would understand and help us, but who would ever take someone after 8pm, and that was IF we could get someone to answer our call at 7:50pm. That is when i called Like salon, and this angel named Tracy answered and listened to our situation. It takes a very kind person to decide to help total strangers who were asking her to stay past closing time and take a brand new client, and that is the person Tracy is. We've all had a bad haircut at least once in our lives, but this was far worse, and it would take a very experienced person to somehow salvage what was left of my child's hair, and cut it into something that looked at least like a normal haircut. We knew it would mean having to cut all the gorgeous locks off that took over a year to grow, but seriously, there was no other way. Still, Tracy was able to transform a nightmare into a dream, and while the long hair was gone, the end result was a very smart style that will grow out well. It is quite attractive, and while my child was still inconsolable over losing all that hair, what a life saver Tracy was, and I can only imagine how gorgeous my child's hair will be as we continue to see her to shape it while it grows out again. So heart warming to find a kind, empathetic human being l, and what incredible luck we had in finding her. Thank you Tracy!

I was looking for a hair refresh and wanted to lighten my hair/try out a balayage again after a few years of growing out my hair. She made the 5.5 hours fly by so quickly, was very easy to talk to (we yapped about so much!), and told me what she was doing in her process to put my mind at ease bc I told her I had trust issues after my last cut I had at a different place near me. I'm happy to say I think I found my new hair lady and am so glad I don't have to go to downtown sf. I did respond to her call for balayage hair models, so I received the service at a lower cost, BUT I will gladly pay for her rates in the future. I plan keep going back to her for cuts, touch ups, and colors. Glad I found someone who can take care of my hair cuts and color for my wedding and beyond! The salon was also very cute, clean, bright, and it was nice that they had coffee and water for customers. Their manager pug also made my day supervising the shop and making sure everyone was doing their jobs

This review is long overdue but I really wish I had checked Yelp and read the reviews before…read morebooking here. I expected a simple haircut and blow-dry to be something I'd leave happy with, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. My haircut took almost 2 hours, even though my hair isn't very long or thick, and the blow-dry was basically nonexistent. What bothered me just as much was the lack of professionalism and the energy from my stylist. It honestly felt like she didn't want to be there or be around anyone. Afterward, I checked Yelp and found other reviews describing very similar experiences, including comments about her speaking negatively about clients and staff. That definitely made me question how comfortable I'd feel trusting the salon when someone like that is working there. The only good moment I had was chatting with the nice lady in the front desk and a stylist asking me about my outfit. Sweet girls with red hair, I wish I could go to them instead. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back. If you do somehow book here, definitely avoid booking with Gwyneth from social

Really happy with my haircut at Essence Salon with Yessenia!…read more Booked a haircut appointment with Yessenia through the website for a Tuesday afternoon. 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!

From the start, she…read morelistened carefully to every detail I shared and took the time to go through my inspiration photos with me, making sure we were on the same page before she even picked up the scissors. I originally booked this appointment last minute after another stylist canceled on me the day before a trip - and honestly, I'm so grateful that happened, because I would've never found Grace otherwise. Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who really knows what they're doing, actually listens, and creates an amazing overall experience.
