Throughout the past 10 years I had not been to the same hairdresser twice because I was never happy with the haircuts I had received. Jay Erwin from Tao Blaze Salon cut my hair a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with my experience and the cut! He listened to everything I wanted, took his time, and gave me exactly the cut I was looking for. He was also fun, kind, and easy to spend an hour small talking with while you're getting your hair cut. I also appreciated the deals he offered for first time clients and teachers! I wish I wasn't moving to Maryland, or I would be back every time I needed a cut. read more

Isa did an amazing job yesterday on me, she took her time and spent every moment making sure it was perfect! I loved how my hair cut turned out and I hope to go again soon, thank you Isa!! read more

A friend had referred me to this business for my wedding day. I got to consult with Deirdre. My wedding isn't until June, so this review is about the appointment I had a few days ago to get my hair coloured and cut. Deirdre is so awesome. I really had no idea what to do with my hair, so I felt kinda bad that she had to make so many suggestions. Instead of getting a full-on dyejob like I said I wanted, she did a process called "shades", since all I really wanted to do was get rid of most of the warmth. The end result is so gorgeous. Yes, my hair is almost black, but it still has depth to it. I didn't expect the hand massage and the scalp massage. I really wish I had taken her up on her neck massage offer before the appointment officially started. Tao Blaze really does want their clientele to have an amazing experience. The best part of the appointment was that Deirdre fixed my hair from all the years I didn't care about it. I now have a very flattering cut which consists of subtle layers that frame my face. My hair now has life. read more

I've been going to Isa to cut my unruly head of hair for longer than either of us would like to admit. My wife started going to her and just dragged me along because everyone who cut my hair screwed it up (it has always been thick and very straight). Isa cut it perfectly. My lovely wife has gone through many color changes and permanents under Isa's care. Isa has cut and styled my children's hair and now Sonia is cutting my granddaughter's (Sonia gave her her first cut at 2.5 - she loved it). We try to schedule for as many of us to come in together as we can and we all visit. Isa and Sonia are like members of our family. They provide wireless access so that I can work while I wait for my wife. It's not often, I think, that a guy can say that he can sit comfortably in a hair salon and visit or work. But that should tell you just what a great little place they have at Tao Blaze. read more

I've been putting Dierdre in charge of my hair since before she was at Tao Blaze, and she's fantastic! She always knows just what to do with my color and my cut to make me feel gorgeous. And she'll have new ideas for my hair that she's been thinking about each time I come in. The only time I complain about my hair is when I wait too long between visits! The salon itself is great too. Just three chairs, but that gives it a homey comfortable feel that blends well with hip factor of the retro salon chairs, orange walls, and very cool art on the walls. Highly recommended!! read more

I'm a dude, so I'm not into spending 25 minutes blow-drying and styling my hair every morning. Jen knows that and makes it really simple for me to get great styles with little effort. She's really taught me that by taking just a little time I can make a big difference, and she has great techniques. I'd never gotten that level of attention and empowerment anywhere else. And I had been to some pretty pricey salons and a lot of barbers looking for a good cut. I can honestly say she's given me more self-confidence! Now I go to Jen for trying new things and different styles. She's a genius at finding what works for me based on what I want. She also gives a super consistent cut delivering time after time. The other thing about Jen is that she is super cool!! Interesting does not even tell the story, she's always engaging and presents an angle at what I'm talking about that is totally unique. Her enthusiasm is totally infectious. Its one thing to find a good haircut, its another to find a great person that your proud to support -- that's Jen! read more

Jen is fabulous! I've known her before she was at Tao, so of course I was supportive with her new transition. Not only is she a great stylist but her personality is dynamic, her spirit is calming, and her laughter is infectious-- not to mention she's a true professional!! The salon itself is cozy and quaint. They go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. I walked out feeling 100% satisfied --and I'm very particular. Great atmosphere, convenient location, wonderful stylist (Jen Bulik), and friendly staff!! read more

I don't even know where to begin, so here goes. A long-time friend & coworker passed me Jen's card in Fall 2007. The timing was quite fortuitous, as I was quickly growing unhappy with the experience I'd been having at a Willow Glen hair salon. Essentially, I was paying too much for a cut that wasn't very consistent from a hairdresser that never really understood what I was asking for in a salon that clearly valued quantity over quality when it came to customers. Sound familiar? In the time that I've had Jen as my stylist -- for cut (since Sept 2007) and color (since Feb 2008) -- I can honestly say I've never had to worry about any of these issues ever. In fact, I've NEVER had the peace of mind that she has provided me on all matters pertaining to my hair. Skills and ability? I've been to a number of stylists and salons over the years, and not even one has come close to Jen's talent level -- she's not only on her own planet; she's in her own galaxy. Before Jen, I couldn't even fathom getting a haircut without micromanaging it in the mirror in front of me; to this day, she has never cut my hair in front of a mirror. I trust her ability that much. Style, creativity and client interactivity? Professionally speaking, one of Jen's strongest points is the fact that she is young and hip but also carrying a decade-plus of haircare experience -- you usually get only one or the other at most salons, unless you've got the cash to burn. This combination of background and youth makes all the difference when discussing tweaks or new hair ideas; she's able to identify what I'm looking for, then elaborate and deliver every single time. (I should note that I'm probably one of her toughest clients in that regard. I'm always changing this or suggesting that, and still she's never let me down.) Flexibility and thoroughness? Jen is much easier to fit into anyone's schedule than a normal salon, and it's not just because she comes to you for each session. That is obviously a huge help, but she is also willing to go a bit outside the hours that most people in her industry choose to work. Along with that flexibility comes the drive to get the job done RIGHT every single time. Even if it takes some extra time, she'll make sure it comes out exactly to her standards and your expectations. Even though she's back at a salon now, that doesn't mean I'm getting the old salon experience. Jen is even more accomodating now that she has a full studio at her disposal. I don't know where I'd be style-wise without Jen around to help, but I do know I wouldn't be nearly as happy with it as I am now. I can only hope others get the opportunity to feel the same way. Seriously, it's the best thing I've ever done for my hair. read more

I brought in a picture of a complicated haircut and Jessica was able to replicate it to a T! I hate getting my hair done but the experience was pleasant as Jessica has such a sweet disposition on top of being very talented. The salon is also cozy and inviting. read more

Jessica Russo-- I wil follow her forever and ever. I've followed her for the last 7 year or so. She now rents a chair here at Tao Blaze. The salon is a super small and cute place with an abundant amount of parking in Los Gatos. Jessica is as sweet and pure as stylists comes. She is an amazing stylist that LISTENS and DELIVERS. She will never try to push a certain style on you like some folks out there do. She has amazing training and knows her products-- especially the natural ones. I can't recommend her enough. read more

I love my haircut, and the overall experience was really pleasant. Great music, great environment. Thank you Isa!

This places rocks for haircuts and color. Sonja manages to make my very thick, curly hair look really good! And if you're getting color, make an appointment with Gitty next door for a manicure! She's a hoot! read more

Tao Blaze is a great salon. I've had my haircut and colored at TB for years, usually by Isa. Isa's haircuts are out of this world. The occasions where Sonja has cut my hair she has been excellent too. They use high quality coloring products that leave my hair nicely conditioned. Both of them are very sweet, the shop is clean, bright and beautifully decorated. read more

Sonja was amazing. The environment was great. Everyone acknowledged you who worked there. What an amazing first time experience!

I recently discovered Jessica Russo at Tao Blaze, she's awesome! She has great ideas she's very creative and spends the time to make sure you both have the same vision for your hair before she starts. I got a cut and then went back a week later for some color. she did a great job, and went the extra mile to make sure it was right. She's sweet and cute, and great to talk to, i felt like we were friends from the moment i walked in the door. I just cant say enough good things about Jessica. You will love her you'll see! read more

I started seeing Jen this January on the word of a friend. I wanted something fun and funky to change up what had been a more traditional cut. When I walked out, I had a super funky and fresh, asymmetrical, short hairdo that not only looked great but was easy to style and take care of. Jen always listens to what I want and what I can afford and makes sure that I leave happy. read more

Jen has been cutting my hair for years now, and I have learned to carry a stash of her cards in my wallet for the people who come up to me and ask me who does my cut and color. What I love about Jen is the way she steps back and actually LOOKS at me before cutting my hair. She is very intuitive and is able to bring out exactly what I want without me saying much, time after time. She is an artist, and I am lucky to have found her. read more

I was looking for a change because I felt like my hair was in a rut. I googled best hair salon Silicon Valley and came up with Tao Blaze in Los Gatos. Isa, the owner, stayed after her last appointment to do my hair. She put some streaks of color in certain spots underneath the main cut as well as giving me a cut that was easy to care for, mistake proof, fluid and, just what I wanted, a little edgy. It's the best hair cut/color I've ever had. I absolutely LOVE it!!!!! In addition, Isa is fantastic to talk to, very down to earth, helpful. I really enjoyed talking with her. I would overwhelmingly recommend Tao Blaze fo anyone, but especially anyone looking for a stylish, easy to handle hair cut and, in particular, Isa is a wonder at figuring out what to do with your hair. It is pricey but worth every penny! read more

Jen has been cutting my hair for a few years now and has even seen me through the harrowing experience of donating my hair! She also cuts my son's and husband's hair. We all enjoy the experience because Jen in fun, thoughtful, professional and really listens to us. She has shaped my son's hair to his ever-changing teenage style, and he is always pleased (no small feat). I would highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for a experienced and competent stylist! Her rates are fairly priced and she is worth every penny!!! read more

Anyone with curly hair (and I know you are out there) should go to see Deirdre. She is amazing. I walked out last week and kept telling everyone how cute my hair looked. I've never said that to anyone about my haircut. I'm very, very picky about my hair. Deidre is excellent. Oh yeah, did I mention the neck massage? read more

Recently went to visit Sonja for my Groupon appointment. She's awesome! She gave me such a great makeover for my hair. I explained to her what I wanted. The end result she delivered was much better than I imagined! read more

Been going to Isa for years. Love her. She's amazing colorist so as my hair started to grey she knew exactly what to do. Her salon is so inviting. She recently redecorated it and has amazing artwork on the walls. She has a great play list too. I look forward to my monthly visits, so relaxing and I end up looking great! Price is right too. Some of the salons in LG are so overpriced but Isa is quite reasonable. Definitely recommend her to everyone. She cuts my husbands hair and both of my kids, too. read more

This is such a cozy little salon and Sonja is simply amazing with hair. She really pays attention to what you want and takes her time making sure it's right. I've never had a better hair cut and my highlights are the perfect color & even all the way through. After getting the wonderful scalp massage/ conditioning treatment, my hair is super soft. I will definitely be coming back as a regular. read more

I started coming here from a Groupon offer I purchased and am so glad I did! This was my first time going to a salon so I didn't really know what I was getting but the results from my highlights were better than I had expected. Jessica Russo is so talented at what she does. Took all of my doubts away and I've returned a couple of times now for touch ups. She does exactly what I ask of her in terms of color and cut length. She also gives helpful styling tips for when I do my hair at home. Will so recommend her to anyone! read more

I have had my hair cut by Isa, Sonia, and Dierdre and all of them do a fantastic job. The shop has a good location and an excellent atmosphere. The space and employees are very inviting. I always look forward to getting my hair done there! read more

I LOVE THIS SALON. It is sweet and colorful, tucked away from the main road, always playing great music (French Cafe music when I was there last, so relaxing!) and I am greeted with hugs and hot tea, always. Isa is the absolute best. She is a ray of sunshine that could warm up even the coldest of days. You feel welcomed and honored the entire time you are with her. She gave me the best haircut I've ever had- and I have alot of hair, long and curly, and she approached it with the ease of a zen master. Smiling. I couldn't recommend this salon enough. Jessica Russo is also super sweet and personable. You will leave here feeling divine. read more

Sonja is a hair hero!! She has been doing my hair for roughly 3 years, and it seems like every time I leave the salon my hair looks better than it ever has! She always knows what I want, even when I don't even know what I want.. I am not not a very visual person, and can't really picture what a new style would look like on me. That's why I go to Sonja. She makes me look classy, funky, young, chic... you name it, she can do it all. She is always willing to try new things and has never let me down with color... something any woman would be concerned about. She is always spot on, and makes me feel great! I don't know what I would do without her!! read more

Sonja is one of the best hairstylists I have ever been too. She really takes her time to make sure you are truly happy with your haircut. Everyone in the salon is very friendly and I would not go anywhere else. I am a Tao Blaze customer for life! read more
