I went and had my hair done by Jill. She colored and cut my hair. It was such a nice experience and the ambiance of the shop is not like other salons where it's loud and tons of people working. It's a lot calmer and relaxing. She also does Brazilian blow outs and saw wonderful results from her other clients. read more

Jillian did Brazilian blowout on my very very damaged hair and it is like a magic!!! She was to the point, very fast which is probably the most important part for me and one of the reasons I don't like going to salons and definitely a guarantee of me seeing Jill again! Absolutely recommend especially to those who value time, quality, and money!!! read more

Avoid! Jill strong-armed me into an appointment when I was at her place for a facial then added a fee that was not previously disclosed when I was unable to make it. This despite my telling her in plenty of time I was called out of town. She pretended not to get the text. Jill--you cannot add a fee arbitrarily after the fact. You never mentioned a cancellation fee. Paid you to get you to stop texting me over and over and over. Am telling everyone I know to avoid this business. You cannot attach fees that were not in the original agreement. You got $50 of my money but only to get you out of my life. AVOID this place! read more

I went to Andrea today for the first time and I had the absolute best experience! She is so sweet and talented at hair! The salon is really quiet and has great parking and she is very personable, kind, friendly, and talented. I love my hair and she offers a great price! I will be a frequent customer now ‍ Andrea is the best! read more

Jillian did my Brazilian blowout and my hair looks great. It's been three weeks and It took the frizz right out and my hair is now silky and shinny and so easy to care for. What I appreciate is Jillian is thorough and knows her products. I highly recommend Jillian and will be back for my next BBO. read more

Andrea cut my hair last year and I was scalped. I didn't have my glasses on and the mirror was far away was my part in allowing it to happen. I wore a baseball cap for two months and after four months I found a great stylist. This is my recovery haircut. Photos are my normal haircut and Andrea's, read more

Andrea has been cutting my hair and giving me refreshing high lights since I moved 4 years ago. I couldn't be happier with her services as she is a very talented professional, honest, and skilled. I have a great time sitting in my chair as she gives me personalized care and I leave feeling happy about my cut and color. We always have great conversations but the best thing is the result of her work which is a stylishly refreshed look for me. I recommend Andrea and have referred my own family to her. read more

With so much winter precipitation it was almost difficult for me to imagine how my hair could be so dry and, frankly, awful looking. I no longer yearn for the impossibly stick-straight results of a Brazilian Blowout but the silken hair texture that results is what I needed. Andrea, a skilled stylist at Studio J, was offering a great Groupon deal and after researching reviews for the salon I was comfortable that this would be a high-quality experience. Happily, I was right. Studio J Hair Salon is intimate, stylish, and immaculate, with easy, free parking right out front. Andrea is all of that plus a skilled stylist who is easy and enjoyable to talk with. The Brazilian Blowout I received is perfect and delivered exactly what I sought. I have nothing but great things to say about Andrea and Studio J. I do have a regular stylist much nearer to me who I see regularly but if I didn't, or if I was closer, this is where I'd go and who I'd see. Learning of Studio J and Andrea through the Groupon offer turned out to be the perfect introduction for this (sometimes) budget-minded yelper. read more

Got a Brazilian blowout with Jillian! I'm soo happy with my results and my hair feels healthier! She's also very sweet and made sure I was comfortable throughout the session. She gave me great advice on how to take care of my hair. Her honesty was greatly appreciated and I trust her with my hair! Will definitely come again for other hair services read more

I've been getting Brazilian Blowouts with Jill for years, and she consistently does a fantastic job. Her prices are fair, and the treatment always lasts as long as it should. Lately, I've been letting my hair grow out, and Jill went above and beyond to carefully trim and dust my ends so my hair stayed healthy without losing length. She knows exactly what she's doing and offers helpful advice between appointments. After moving a little farther away, I still go out of my way to see her - that's how much I value her expertise. Jill is incredibly knowledgeable about hair, professional, straightforward and committed to doing things the right way - all qualities I truly appreciate. Bottom line: If you want someone who truly understands hair and cares about your hair's health, Jill is the person you want in your corner. read more

Had zero problems getting her the treatment at a different salon - looks fabulous and has cut 45 minutes off her time getting ready for school each morning. That's a regular client paying $750 a pop that Jillian will never have. Hope the ignorant judgment was worth it! read more

Jill used to cut my hair all the time when I lived in the East Bay. Always made me look like a movie star. I highly recommend her services.

I've been going to Jillian for haircuts and color for longer than I can even remember. My family now lives an hour and a half away, and I still book appointments with her every six weeks. I just don't trust anyone else! I have unruly naturally curly hair, and let Jill do whatever she wants with my hair each time... it always turns out beautifully! I highly recommend Studio J Salon! read more

Jill has been coloring and cutting my for 20 years and every time she does an excellent job. I always leave her salon feeling great.

I got a deep conditioning and women's haircut with Andrea. She was so sweet and attentive as soon as I walked in. She listened to what I wanted and did a great job executing it. Thank you for the lovely energy and understanding around my family emergency. I've been looking for a stylist I want to keep going back to and I would definitely see Andrea for my hair again! read more

Andrea is an amazing and creative stylist. She is attentive and delivers what you ask. She gave me a Brazilian Blowout that is veru silky. I honestly recommend her. read more

It was my first time trying BB, and it was a great experience! The space was clean and warm, and Jillian herself is awesome: sweet, friendly, down to earth, and very patient as she gave me lots of useful tips for hair care. I have long, thick, frizzy hair, and she worked quickly and diligently to cover every section. My hair is now smooth and looks a lot healthier. Thank you Jillian :) read more

Jillian was so absolutely wonderful. Such a great experience and I am SO happy with my hair. After the Brazilian Blowout she even touched up my hair (a result of a less than fantastic cut). We chatted most of the time and she is such an incredible lady with great insight. I look forward to our next appointment! read more

Wow, Andrea gave me an amazing hair cut on Sunday. She is friendly, smart and a very talented hair stylist. I loved the salon and was grateful there was plenty of parking. Thank you, again Andrea for my fabulous new hair cut. I will be seeing you soon. Michele read more

As always my hair looks fantastic after my appointment with Jillian. Due to Covid it had been 5 months since my last appointment. I felt very comfortable with both of us wearing masks. It was amazing to catch up with Jillian, and come out of my appointment feeling wonderful and looking great. Thank you :) read more

Jillian needs to improve her communication, time management, judgement and accountability. I scheduled a Brazilian blowout weeks ago. I waited 30 minutes past my scheduled appointment and decided I was tired of waiting. Then she told me she "almost done". She became defensive explaining it "wasn't her fault", the customer before me was late and couldn't cut hair faster. Communication, an apology and some sense of ownership of how she could have handled her choices better, would have gone a long ways. Maybe ...don't agree to take a late customer who impacts the rest of your customers or let your next customer know you are running late. Responding "it's not my fault"and responding snarky "I can't cut hair faster" is not the right answer. Consequently, she lost what could have been a long term customer by exercising bad judgment, poor communication and lack of accountability. Her defense position demonstrated that other peoples time is just not important to her. read more

Cheryl did an amazing job with my long, thick, frizzy hair! The Brazilian blowout she gave me was clearly professionally done, and the way she trimmed my hair afterward made it even better. The salon is clean, pretty, and serene, and Cheryl is very nice and easy to talk to. Highly recommend! read more

Jillian did an amazing job with my daughter's Brazilian Blowout. Although we had a Groupon, that did not stop her from spending two hours on my daughter's hair, which looks fabulous. Jillian is fun with a great personality and really easy to ask questions. We are both coming back to see her for other services soon. read more

I have been getting Brazilian Blowouts for at least a year now. My usual stylist was unavailable and I was hesitant to go to anyone else because I am very particular about my hair, but I took a chance and called Jillian. I was not only grateful for her coming in on her normal day off, but she did a fantastic job and gave me the results that I wanted. I also had fun looking at People magazines for 3 hours and hearing her back round comments on whatever I was looking at. She made it fun and I felt like I was hanging out with a girlfriend! Jill has also cut my hair a few times and I've been very happy with her work. She is a hair expert! read more

I have been going to Jillian for 5+ years for Brazilian blowouts and I have been satisfied every. single. time. I have been going to college out of town for the last four years and whenever I come back home I make sure to schedule an appointment with her to get my BB because I wouldn't dream of having anyone else do it. She's always very efficient and GREAT company! She's fricken hilarious and even thought I usually sit in the chair for 3+ hours, she makes the time fly by and makes getting my hair done that more enjoyable! My hair is a curly, frizzy mess without the treatment, but she always bears with me and takes the extra time to do the BB process thoroughly. I recommend her to all of my family and friends that are looking for an anti-frizz treatment. Just a reminder that BB will not make your hair completely straight, but will make it more manageable by reducing frizz. read more

Jill is a true artist when it comes to haircuts. The first time she cut my hair was after a too short and too blunt cut from another salon. She somehow made it look awesome. Every time she has cut my hair, I've been really happy with the results. Sara is the absolute best skin esthetician I've ever had. I had no idea what amazing results I could have with a peel. I've had them elsewhere and they were never the same. read more

Jill is AMAZING!! She has been my stylist for almost 3 years now (woah..where did the time go??? I get compliments daily on how beautiful my hair is and how my curls are. Honestly it's all due to Jill's Brazilian blow outs, hair products, and trim of my hair. My hair has never gotten to this length before because all previous people I saw cut way too much off. Jill is amazing, friendly, and always has something interesting to chat about! read more

Very cute studio! I love the fact that Jill always has one of her dogs there since I'm a huge animal fan! Appointments can be a bit tricky as she seems to have a full schedule. I tried the Brazilian Blowout only for it not to work at all for me, but Jill was nice enough to have me back to try it again, free of charge. Unfortunately, it STILL didn't work for me, but it was the gesture that counts. The rest of the clients all seemed to enjoy the salon's work too. read more

Scheduled a Brazilian Blowout through livingsocial to help tame my poor hair that has been travellled between blonde and brunetter 5 times in the last year. Ended up coming on a Saturday afternoon pretty hungover and was a little weary of being stuck with an over talkative hair dresser (not hard to find) but luck was in my favor :) Jillian not only brought my hair back to life, recommended amazing products but she turned out to be very enoyable company hungover or not. I recommended her to my friend and I'll defninitely be back for a touch up in 8 weeks. read more

I've been going to Jill for Brazilian blowouts, color and haircuts for over 9 years. Before meeting Jill, I had been constantly trying different salons and oftentimes leaving quite dissatisfied, but Jill ended that cycle for me. I always know that I will love the results when I leave the salon now. My hair is super healthy thanks to Jill. I highly recommend her as a hairdresser! read more

I have been a client for many years, and I love my latest style from Jill! She knows the best look for me, and hair products she recommends leave my hair smooth and healthy! read more

Jillian has been my hairdresser for the past 2 years and I absolutely love her! She is an excellent hairstylist and colorist who has transformed my hair's color and texture. I look forward to every visit because in addition to being a great hairstylist, Jillian is a wonderful, caring, and intelligent person who is fun to talk to and always keeps me laughing. I would highly recommend Jillian to anyone who is seeking a hairstylist par excellence!! read more

It was my first Brazilian blowout and I love it. Shiny, frizz free hair and a great convo with Jillian.

Jil is such a great person all around. She's flexible and very accommodating, and you can tell she has your hair health in her best interest. She was able to squeeze me in on a Friday thankfully. I came in for a Brazilian blowout and my hair feels so healthy. Definitely will be coming back and encourage friends/family to get their hair done by her. read more

I had receive a Brazilian blowout from Jilian as a gift from my sister that she purchased of livingsocial. I was super excited about it and scheduled my appointment. About a week before my blowout i dyed my hair blonde and seeing as I did it myself i kinda messed up my hair. So when I went to her to get my blowout she said my hair was just wayyyy to messed up to blowout. I was a little frustrated at first but i figured she was a pro and she must know what shes talking about, so she just cut my hair that day and we scheduled for me to come back in 3 weeks to touch up my roots and do the blowout. I came back 3 weeks later and she said my hair still wasn't ready for the blowout......ok so she touched up my roots. She didn't want to bleach my roots because she was too worried so she just used a lifter or something, but she ended up turning my roots blonde, but tinted blue!! It wasn't that bad SUPER but my roots were light blue for like a week! So then 3 weeks later i went in for my blowout. I LOVED the results when i left her salon. Like she said i waited a few days to wash it and when i did my hair was the EXACT same as it was before i got the blowout. I was very disappointed. I let her know this and she said she would then do it again for free. So a week later when i came in to get my roots touched up again i expected her to do it, but she said she wanted to wait long.. ok whatever so she did my roots again... THIS TIME THEY WERE PURPLE!!!! Once again I had purple roots for like a week and a half! After allll this I decided to still give her a chance cause i didn't know any better so she did my roots again and she did a good job. Not great but better, they weren't blue or purple. I then refereed my sister and a friend to her. Both my sister and friend got blowouts from her so she said my next root touch up was free! Both my sister and my friend didn't have great results either. So i was scheduled to go back and get my roots done but that week I didn't have any money so I told her I wasn't going to be able to make it but she insisted i still come in and she would do it for me. I was very happy about this. THEN the day of my appointment she texted me two hours before to tell me she had someone else coming in for MY appointment because she needed money. That was the last I EVER heard from her. She is a great person and has a WONDERFUL personality but i was very disappointed from the services i got from her. read more

ZERO STARS! I could not be more furious. I sent my daughter for a Brazilian Blowout for $250 plus $70 for product. I asked her in advance of the treatment if the process did not take, would she redo it at no cost and she said "yes". Well, after one washing it is frizzy and it is very wavy and this is not what any of the pictures she sent me from the Brazilian Blowout website looked like. She has completely backed down on our agreement and cares nothing about me being satisfied as a customer. I would absolutely never go to her again. Don't waste your money, go somewhere else to have this done. I have had a Brazillian Blowout done on my hair in SF 3 different times and the result was 1000 times better. If you are going to spend this much money, go to someone that actually guarantees their work like Tina at Tribez who charges the same exact price. read more

I just got my Brazilian Blowout the other day and couldn't be happier. Jillian is the best. I instantly felt so comfortable with her. She is kind, genuine and funny!! In addition she was full of great advice. I am getting my color done by her very soon. She really knows her trade. A very talented stylist and a great find!! read more

Jillian rocks! She has an amazing personality and really knows her stuff. I got a Brazilian blowout from her that turned out awesome as well as some solid advice on what I was doing wrong to my hair to damage and break it. She really cares for her clients and does a great job, plus she is a really cool chic to chat with during the 3 hour process. read more

I had a brazillian blowout done by Jillian after purchasing a Living Social deal. I have fine, curly, tending toward frizzy hair which I use semi-perm color on sometimes. I am soooooo happy with the results from Jillian! My hair feels spectacular. I didn't schedule a cut at the time of my appointment as I thought I'd just check her out, but she also "dusted" my ends to even my existing haircut up. Also, know that she works out of a small, but friendly shop, not a big salon. It's a long process, so it's also nice that she has a great personality. A few days later I went to get a cut from my regular person and she said "whoever did your blowout did an excellent job, I can tell". I'm very happy and would definately visit her again. read more

Studio J. Hair Salon and more specifically Jillian Galil have been one of my best finds since I moved to Northern California over a year ago. Located in the lovely City of Lafayette, Studio J. is well situated with ample parking and the salon is charming, clean and bright! Jillian applies my Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatment and conveniently has the full range of Brazilian Blowout products in stock. I leave the salon with super silky shiny hair that, with the use of the Brazilian products is easily maintained for several months. I cannot wait until Studio J. provides Hair Dreams extensions. read more
