    I have no words to clearly express how AMAZING my entire experience was with Ben from start to finish!! Literally messaged for a quote yesterday on Yelp and he responded so quickly. I was able to book a convenient time for me the following day. The whole experience was everything I dreamed of when getting my hair done. I have not got my hair professionally done for over 15 years. Ben was quick, efficient, and honest with the entire process and even walked me through hair care steps. The vibe was very pleasant and I enjoyed being in the salon studio, it definitely feels like a personalized experience versus being in a huge salon. The hospitality was amazing and most importantly Ben was able to achieve beyond my expectations on the ash beige balayage that I had requested. I'm SO happy that I found Ben here at The Color Hustle, definitely will be booking my future touch ups back here. THANK YOU Ben!!

    Ben is hands down the best hairstylist I have ever been to. I came here in October on one of my stops for travel and came across his work. He responded quickly and I have very difficult hair where it's long thick and frizzy but he nailed it. Even when I came back home everyone was asking me where I got my hair cut. I've gone to multiple salons and I have not found anyone as skilled, kind, and knowledgeable as Ben. I can't wait for my next haircut when I return this fall!

    Better lighting! Perfect undertone! Cherry cola ready for summer

    Ben completely gave me my confidence back. I came in after a really upsetting experience with a previous stylist who had cut my bangs way too short and left me with uneven layers. It honestly made me feel so depressed about my hair that I wore a headband every day for a month just to hide it. I came to Ben with a vision, and he truly brought it to life. I got a balayage and a Keratin Complex treatment, and the results could not have been better. I had not dyed my hair in over 10 years, so this was a huge deal for me, and he made me feel so comfortable through the whole process. What I appreciated most was how patient he was and how seen he made me feel. He really listened, did not rush me, and made the entire experience feel seamless from start to finish. It was so easy to talk to him, and the whole vibe was welcoming, calm, and professional. Everything was also so clean, which immediately made me feel at ease and showed how much care goes into the experience. The quality of his work speaks for itself. My hair looks beautiful, healthy, and exactly how I hoped it would. Ben took something that had been making me feel insecure and turned it into something that gave me all my confidence back. He is officially my new hair bestie, and I'm so grateful I found him.

    I found Ben on IG. He was very responsive and easy to work with. I showed him a photo and he gave me exactly what i wanted. I wanted to go ligbter but did not want blonde. If you're looking for someone that knows how to work with brunettes- he is your guy! He was very quick and efficient and his studio was very comfortable!

    Returned for a root touch up and color toner to cover my brassy highlights. Ben did a wonderful job making my hair look healthy again. I appreciate his color consultation on what would work best for my hair texture. Very professional!

    I have been boxed dying my hair to cover my greys with various brand from the drug store and my hair colors are so random all over the head. Today, Ben make my hair alive again. I am very happy with the result. The whole process was smooth and completely done. I am so glad to found a stylist close by.

    Love the color and all my layers!

    I just had my 6 week toner/roots color & haircut with Ben. I absolutely LOVE my haircut and the color we have achieved! I'm so happy I found Ben!

    The color hustle was amazing My hair was so messed up being multi colored from two different stylist highlighting and then putting permanent dye on it when I wanted to be blonde. Ugh Anywho Ben fixed it and with some highlights root tap and toner. Incredible job. You can tell he stays up with the latest trends and does continued education. I initially contacted him for just a wash and blow out and so thankful he could fix my hair. I have thick dark brown hair and lots of it. Best wash and blow out l have ever gotten. Holy cannoli.

    I found Ben through Yelp and decided to reach out because I really needed a haircut and color as soon as possible. He responded very quickly and was able to fit me in the same day, which I truly appreciated. From the moment I arrived, Ben was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. We chatted throughout the appointment, and he really took the time to understand what I wanted. He recommended a beautiful chocolate brown color, and it blended perfectly with my previous hair color. The transition is so seamless that you can't see any harsh lines at all -- the result looks very natural and polished. I also told him that I did not want high layers, and he listened carefully. He gave me a low-layer haircut, kept my length exactly as requested, and the cut turned out clean, balanced, and very flattering. His technique is excellent, and you can tell he's very experienced and detail-oriented. Ben is someone who truly respects your preferences, communicates clearly, and delivers great results. He never pushed anything I didn't want and made sure I was happy every step of the way. On top of that, his studio is very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located right near the freeway, which made the visit even easier. I'm extremely happy with both my haircut and color, and I would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a skilled stylist who is professional, attentive, and easy to work with. I will definitely be coming back!

    Long layers!!
    Georgia R.

    What an amazing experience! I think I've finally found my new go to person to trust with my hair! Ben was very attentive and detail oriented when discussing what might work best for my lifestyle and features. As a healthcare worker, having versatility with hairstyles that I can wear up or down is important and he worked his magic! We opted for face framing layers with curtain bangs and long layers. The end result is so beautiful and I love it! Thank you so much Ben and I'll be back when it's time for a refresh!

    Arpan S.

    Ben was so amazing! I hate getting haircuts because the stylist never really gets it right and cuts off too much length. But Ben really listened and we had a thorough conversation of what I wanted. I only went for a cut, not a color. He really assessed my hair and recommended what would look good on me and combined that with what I wanted. He has over a decade of experience working on hair all over the world so you are definitely in good hands with him! As long as I live in the bay area, I will only go to Ben from now on. Don't hesitate to book with him, he has online booking as well! Also, The Color Hustle is actually located inside Sola Salon (just for logistics because I got lost).

    Ben did an amazing job on my hair! He completely transformed my color and gave me exactly what I wanted. My hair looks healthier, more natural, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend!

    Mayara F.

    Ben is amazing! He really listened to what I wanted and was so intentional about keeping my hair healthy while still making it brighter and beautifully blended. I hadn't refreshed my hair in about 8 months because I was focused on growing it out before rebleaching, and his work made such a huge difference. I felt completely confident trusting him with my hair. On top of that, he's fun to chat with, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

    Kristen is my absolute favorite stylist I've ever worked with! My hair is naturally curly and fine…read more I wanted to lighten my hair, and Kristen did an amazing job getting my super dark brown hair lighter over sessions while working to keep my fragile hair as strong as possible. I decided the light hair wasn't for me and she helped me go back to my natural dark hair. She does amazing work and is a super fun person. She is honest and makes sure I don't do anything crazy to my hair (like not cutting it too short ;) whew!). I love working with Kristen. If you have the chance to have her as your stylist consider yourself very lucky! (Sidenote: Her head massages during the shampoo are next level). I look forward to every visit. She's the best! The salon is so cozy, clean, and a lovely atmosphere. People are so kind and everything operates efficiently. Always super easy scheduling appointments and the text reminder a day or two before my appointment are so helpful too. I'm a type A person with super high standards. I'd choose this salon again and again. Thank you Kristen!

The overall vibe + the holiday decorations were so aesthetically pleasing and added to the full experience, I felt immersed in Vika's service and could tell right away she put a lot of passion into what she does! She made me feel listened to and excited, and she introduced me to some clean, natural hair care that I still need to go back and purchase from her! I took a short paper survey so she had some insight to my hair history and goals, showed her some photos and explained what I wanted, and she got right to work. I felt super comfy in her chair while she washed my hair, products smelled amazing and made my hair SO soft, she introduced me to a GHD wet to dry brush I also need to purchase now lol, and she gave me the BEST haircut I've ever had. It was exactly what I was looking for and more - I couldn't believe it was actually my hair! I made sure to book my three month appointment with her and am very excited about being a loyal client here. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair and I'm so incredibly happy with it!

    Updating my review after the owner replied with lies! If a business ghosts you and tell lies,…read morethat's a big RED FLAG! I did not apply box dye to my hair after keratin. I dyed my hair on 5/6 and asked on Yelp on 5/8 and got my treatment on 5/21. I can't believe she has the audacity to reply my reviews with lies like this. I will include pics of my Yelp project as well as her reply! I caution everyone to stay away from this shady business. Original review: I was looking around for a keratin treatment in the area and narrowed down to this salon. I did my research and looked at every reviews especially the negative ones. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and boy was I wrong! I've done these keratin treatments 3 times before at 2 different salons. Every time, the results came out great! Since those salons were no longer in business, I had to look for a new place. Jane needed a consultation before the treatment so I went in on 5/13. It was a quick 5 min consultation and confirmed that I was doing the regular keratin, made an appt for the week after. She said she prefers cash and the treatment was $380. Went back to get my treatment done on 5/21. As some of the reviews said, she is not the friendly type who would chit-chat with you which I didn't mind. She did answer my questions when I asked. But yes, "with an attitude and general unfriendliness" - quoting one of the reviews. I asked her if I would be getting my hair trimmed, (as I had always got it at different salons when getting these treatment.) She said "your hair is not straight. after this treatment, you need to get a haircut!" I was confused and thought that haircut is included . Then I asked her "will you trim it? " she said "ok, I will give you a haircut after the treatment" So after the treatment, she gave me a haircut which was 15 min at most. Then she said "usually I charged $80 for a haircut, but with treatment. I will charge you $70!" she didn't say anything about the extra cost for the haircut, let alone, $70 extra!!!! She should have said that before giving me a haircut and asked me if it's ok!!! I was not happy about it but i didn't confront her, I let it go and still paid her...cash! The whole thing took a little over 2hrs, not 3.5 hrs as she lied. 2 days after, I washed my hair as told by her with the recommended shampoo! And my hair was still very curly and frizzy! I texted her, and she told me to go back to her salon and get checked by her. I went in the following week and the first thing she said was "So what did you do?" I was shocked. I did nothing. I only did what she told me to do, not wash my hair for 2 days! Then she said "I have done this for 10 yrs and you are my first complaint!" I was like "so do you think this is ok??? " this is not a complaint, it's a problem. She blamed it on the conditioner I used, even though I showed her a pic of my conditioner during the treatment and she did say the conditioner didn't matter. She blamed it on my hair type saying my hair was curly and frizzy. She said some ppl might need to do it 2 times. But if she is so experienced, she should have known during our consultation! I showed her pics of how my hair turned out great after keratin treatment before and she said "other ppl use formaldehyde and I don't " I said the most recent one I got was without formaldehyde and still worked on my hair! At the end, she said she will do it again for me but in 1.5 hr. I confirmed with her that there is no fee cause I didn't want any surprises! In the follow up appointment, she came in late and there were No apologies whatsoever!! I read a review saying how someone was late and she took it seriously! But when she is late, she acts like nothing!! At that point, I know that she does not hold responsible for the things she does wrong, as simple as being late. The treatment was actually only 1 hr, not 1.5 as she lied. When she finished, she said " this is all I can do ". And yes, her attitude has been "doing you the biggest favor in the world even though you are paying her" quoting from one of the reviews. 2 days after the treatment, I washed my hair with the recommended shampoo AND conditioner this time. It's still frizzy, dry-looking and curlier than before. Obviously the treatment didn't work! It's not giving the result that it claimed and definitely not what I wanted. I texted her, she didn't respond, 2 days later, I texted again. Nothing. I then called and realized she BLOCKED me! Yes, just as one of the reviews mentioned, she blocks you when you did nothing wrong! So yes, I got SCAMMED! I hated writing bad reviews. I wanted to support small businesses and was hoping to find a place I can go for my hair. but in return, I lost $450 (treatment plus haircut). I wish I trusted the negative reviews on this business. I am writing all this in hope that no one will get scammed like me!

    This review is for Libby…read more I've been seeing Libby for over two years and actually travel back to the Bay Area just to have my hair done by her - that's how good she is. She's a true color magician. She helped me transition through the awkward grey stage at exactly the right time, and later brought me back to light brown in a way that blends beautifully with my fast-growing greys and grows out naturally without constant upkeep. The moment I knew I could fully trust her was when she gave me a short haircut, something I'm usually very hesitant about and absolutely nailed it. Finding a stylist who is genuinely excellent at both color and cutting is surprisingly rare, and Libby is both. She listens carefully, understands the science behind how color and texture behave, and designs styles that actually look great as they grow out not just the day you leave the chair. She's also warm, funny, and incredibly easy to be around. Even my husband, who normally avoids hair maintenance altogether, got a cut from her and loved it. If you care about grey transition, natural grow-out, or just want low-maintenance hair that still looks polished, Libby is the one.

    I'm writing this review for my mom (she has dementia)and these are my thoughts and observations…read more For one, this was the first time here because my mom's hairdresser lost her place in Dublin, so she found a stall here. Anyways, the place itself is pretty convenient since it's located by the freeway. The place is surprisingly pretty big and spacious and my mom's hairdresser is always patient and polite. I will admit probably for my mom's next visit I'll have to stick around a tad longer and help my mom and her hairdresser when my mom gets her hair washed. So not everything there is I guess ADA available, but it's a minor thing for now since my mom has very limited mobility but can move with some assistance. As for the hairstyle, mom is always happy and I personally think makes her feel as normal as she can get these days and being content let alone having another outside interaction besides with me is always a good thing!

    Came in for a booking with a friend on a Wednesday afternoon after being recommended to this salon…read moreby two other friends. The salon was clean and professional with some ambient jazz in the background. My appointment with Hibiki started with a gentle hair wash before I was brought a small cup of tea and some konpeito to snack on as I showed him the album of reference photos on my phone. We were able to make some pleasant small talk even with the English-Japanese language barrier, and Hibiki was very attentive to making sure my hair was cut and styled in a flattering way that added volume! (I had let him know I struggled with my hair sitting flat) I would definitely come back!! For anyone looking to book here that doesn't speak Japanese, I would advise you make sure you have clear reference photos of the type of cut you want--preferably from multiple angles. Don't be afraid to ask questions, bust out Google Translate, and make gestures for what length you want your hair at!

    Viange Hair is a wonderful salon, and master stylist Kaori is truly exceptional…read more Kaori is incredibly skillful and consistently delivers a very stylish, well-balanced haircut. She has a great eye for shape and detail, and every time I leave the salon the cut looks sharp, modern, and easy to maintain. She also takes the time to understand what you're looking for and offers thoughtful suggestions that really work with your hair and style. It's clear she has a lot of experience and takes pride in her craft. If you're looking for a stylist who can give you a clean, stylish cut with great attention to detail, I highly recommend Kaori at Viange Hair.
