sooooo long overdue, here it goes!!…read more I found Krystelle through a few different connections, all of which I trusted so I eagerly booked my first appointment (this was back in 2021?) At the time her studio was just down the street from me in Walnut Creek. Little did I know that I would have amazing hair transformations time after time, AND a lightweight therapist LOL. Since then I've followed Krystelle to her salon(s) in Danville and will certainly continue to her new salon in Alamo. Why?? Well my hair in itself gets SO many compliments. But beyond looking fabulous, Krystelle is so patient and so kind. Sometimes I go in with specific and odd requests, sometimes I have no idea what I want and I just entrust her to do whatever. In either situation, she listens to my needs, my curiosities, all of my random thoughts. She is also an EDUCATOR. She takes the time to tell me why certain things could work/ wouldn't work, and why. So I actually feel more informed about my hair and my hair decisions. I always look forward to those hours in her chair because SELF CARE is the best care and I always feel brought back to life in more ways than one!

I got my blowout from Elena. She did a great job washing my hair and listened to what I stated as far as I have an oily scalp. The only thing I wasn't pleased about is she took 40ish mins to do a blowout and while that's great for someone who has short hair. I have never had someone take less time for my hair as it is pretty long. Normally, my blowouts take an hour or hour and 15 mins. And the result being, my blowout did not last more than 2 days. My blowouts normally last easily 4-5 days. I wish she took more time focusing on making sure not to just dry my hair and pin curl it, but more on making sure the round brush holding its volume.

Everything was better than I could've hoped for. Every penny was worth it plus tip! I was very nervous about not liking how my hair would turn out just because of the shape of my head, but now I'm pretty sure I'm going to have this style multiple times during the year.

After moving to the Bay Area, it took me a while to find a hair salon. I had a hair stylist I had…read morebeen going to for years in Koreatown and for a while I even planned trips to Los Angeles just to get haircuts from her. However, I knew that I had to find a local go-to hair salon. Many bad haircuts ensued, but for the longest time I just couldn't find a decent hair stylist. I went to barber shops, local salons, etc., but they all did not make the cut. When I first found James on the Yelp app, I was hesitant because of all the previous failures and I was like WTH is an "Aura Zoom"? And, at that time he was renting a station in the back of a beauty supply store over on Oak Grove in Walnut Creek which was kind of weird. Still, I gave him a try and was like, he's pretty good. He actually knew what a fade was. Then James relocated over to a salon off of North Main Street in Walnut Creek when he rented another station and I followed. It was here that I observed his scissor skills improve to an elite level and soon enough he was busier than the owner of the hair salon. Seriously, the dude was working seven days a week. Maybe it was jealousy at the old salon or he just needed his own space, but his move to his very own salon suite co-op space akin to a WeWorks for hair dressers within the W Salon Suites in Alamo has been awesome. Now he has his very own enclosed suite and you can get some coffee at the shared lounge that is usually brewing Philz coffee beans. James is probably the best hair stylist in the East Bay, if not the Bay Area. Give him a try if you want a great cut. He accepts cash, Venmo, and credit cards. BTW, I still have no idea what Aura Zoom means LOL. * English is not his first language, but he speaks it well. He also speaks Korean and Mandarin. * During my most recent visit, he mentioned that he was taking Sundays off. Walk-ins are not accepted and reservations are required. Just give him a call or text. * In this era of being first, I can attest I was his FIRST customer at the current location [mic drop].
