    Lauren is truly amazing. I went on Yelp looking for someone to help bring my confidence back, and I was super nervous. I had just got a terrible haircut that made me feel like I didn't want to be seen. When I found Lauren, I was super impressed with all of the extensions she's done on other women, and I wanted to do a consultation. It was super easy to book with her! She responds quickly and is super friendly. I went in for a consultation, and she gave me her professional opinion on what would be the best for my hair because I wanted it to be healthy again and not break off every day of my life, haha:( I wanted long extensions. Still, she recommended just filling in the areas that didn't have much hair as it would be healthier for my hair, and eventually, we could do longer extensions. So I trusted her! Thank god I did because my hair looks AMAZING. I was almost in tears with how confident I felt when she was done. I got a Keratin treatment done and keratin tip extensions put in my hair. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is considering doing extensions and is afraid. She cares about your hair! She's amazing!!!! Thank you Lauren

    I found Lauren off of Instagram and I absolutely loved her work. She was super professional and provided a quote for me up front via text as I wasn't able to come in person due to my busy work schedule. She listened to what I needed and I was in and out of the chair! She's definitely an expert. My only regret is not finding her sooner. Also, she's great at trimming/styling! It's hard to find an extension expert who can do everything so I'll definitely be back. On top of everything, she was sweet & kind. Thanks Lauren!!

    Before Lauren Mae worked her magic

    If you want amazing extensions, go see Lauren Mae!! Here's a few reasons why: 1. Super quick and clear communication via txt regarding consultation, booking, pricing and payment. No surprises at all and made the process seamless 2. Lovely, CLEAN, private salon space that was easy to get to from the peninsula and it's surrounded by food and coffee options! 3. Lauren Mae knows what she's doing. I've had extensions before, some were good and some were disastrous. Lauren Mae's expertise is unmatched. My hair looks perfect, I didn't have a headache after installation, the blend is seamless, and I am thrilled with the end product!! She matched my hair texture, color and corrected the bad haircut I had! Also, she's amazingly quick and meticulous! 4. Lauren Mae is just lovely. She didn't push me to buy unnecessary products or give me a hard time about the crappy state of my natural hair. She's chatty and friendly but not in a way that makes you feel like you have to talk or over share if you just want to chill during your appointment.

    I absolutely love my hair! Lauren did such a good job with the cut and color. The highlights are natural yet gorgeous looking. I love the salon because it is a more intimate setting than your typical large, loud and busy hair salon. Lauren is so personable and a joy to chat with while she does my hair. 10/10 would recommend Lauren for your next cut/color/extensions!

    I've been going to Lauren for 6 months now, getting tape in extensions. Her work is phenomenal - even my colorist said "damn these extensions are done well!" My hair is gorgeous, but more importantly Lauren is super attentive, sweet, and receptive to feedback. Even if something goes wrong she always delivers a top notch customer experience. Her prices are reasonable and transparent, plus booking an appointment online is easy. I'm so grateful I found Lauren and I recommend her to anyone looking to get gorgeous locks!

    Bye bye half grown out pixie cut, helllo Fab!

    Wow. I didn't know wizards existed outside of Harry Potter until I met Lauren. Seriously. After having a pixie cut for some time, I decided to grow my hair out. And because I'm literally the most impatient person in the world, I wanted to bypass that ugly 'middle stage', which was looking a bit too much like a mullet for my taste, and get extensions. After researching online for about a month, I found that most hair extensions 'experts' just simply did not want to try and place extensions on a pixie cut. Too much work and meticulousness required, I suppose. Then I met Lauren and everything changed! Once I did the initial consult with her, I knew she was 'The One'. She was friendly, yet incredibly informative and realistic about the outcome, aftercare, and cost. Yes, it was expensive, but in this business, you get what you pay for. For real. Long story short, she took my blahhhhh half grown out pixie cut and turned it into an amazing A-line bob. And most importantly, I was afraid that the extensions would look super fake because of my short hair but it looks AMAZING. Seriously. Not only is she the best in the Bay Area (like, by farrrr), after going to consults in Beverly Hills and Hollywood, I think she may be the best in California, if not the Universe. Thanks Lauren !!! :)

    Before and after Lauren Mae Haggard transformed me from short and shaggy to long and luxurious.

    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!

    This review is LONG overdue!…read more I have been seeing Krystelle Rain regularly for 9 years now. I had previously tried to color and trim my own hair for years, and it was the color and consistency of straw. I was a bit embarrassed for a professional to see the dreadful state my hair was in, but Krystelle was warm and non-judgmental. I'm shy and have a lot of social anxiety, but immediately felt comfortable with her! Her expertise and knowledge were evident, and I felt confident that I was in capable hands. The color process was flawless. Krystelle carefully assessed my hair and recommended a base and highlights that perfectly suited my skin tone. The end result was beyond my expectations! The color was vibrant, beautifully blended, and looked incredibly natural. Ever since, she has never failed to amaze me. I have very fine, prematurely grey hair that is so unmanageable. Every month Krystelle works her magic, and makes me look younger, polished and just much better overall! My hair used to be the bane of my existence, and now I get SO many compliments on how good it looks! Twice in those 9 years I ended up seeing other stylists (Krystelle was on maternity leave) and I was SO disappointed with the results. I don't think I can ever see another another stylist again! For anyone in search of the best hair stylist and colorist, I wholeheartedly Krystelle. Her talent, creativity, and friendly demeanor make for an unforgettable salon experience. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
