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

Last weekend she once again did an incredible job with our haircuts, color, and styling, and we couldn't be happier. Natalie is not only incredibly talented, but also so thoughtful, detail-oriented, professional, and genuinely caring. She always takes the time to listen and somehow knows exactly what will look best. On top of that, she's just such a joy to spend time with. If you're looking for an amazing stylist in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend her enough. She's the absolute best!

My daughter received services from Natalie for highlights and root correction. I was charged around…read more$600 for the service. The appointment lasted less than two hours, which is significantly shorter than the typical time required for this type of work. While Natalie was polite and professional in her demeanor, the results did not match expectations. The highlights were very subtle, and the roots remained noticeably dark. My daughter initially said she liked the result, but later clarified she felt uncomfortable expressing dissatisfaction in the moment. I reached out to Natalie after the appointment to address the outcome. She stated that the highlights would become more noticeable over time, which has not been the case. It has now been two months, and there has been no meaningful change in the results. I attempted to follow up again but did not receive a response. Given the cost and the minimal visible improvement, this was a disappointing experience.

Not only did she considerably thin my hair, but she also cut a thick 1 inch layer at the base of my neck! When I try to put my hair up, it won't go into my hair tie, and it looks hideous! It makes me feel bad every day, and it will take me a long time to grow out.

As previously mentioned, I got a blowout from Jade for a wedding I was a brides maid for. I was…read morevery excited to be able to book with Jade as she consistently delivers the most perfect results. Jade was super kind and helpful with styling and suggested waves. The waves stayed all day (picture at end of day shown, selfie from beginning of day) which has never happened for my hair when I style it myself since it's so heavy. I have never gotten so many compliments in my life on my hair, and I felt really beautiful! Thank you Jade! I would trust Jade 1000% for any event/occasion with my hair.

Just to be clear--this rating is all about Pam, not the salon. She's the reason for the stars!

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!
