The new owner, Greg, was awesome. I got an amazing cut from him, he gave me some style & product advice, and was a lot of fun to chat with. I was hesitant about the place because the online photos look like it's extremely outdated, but it was fun to hear about all of the updates/changes that Greg is about to implement. I'll be a regular for sure. Thanks Greg! read more

I have to defend David's Hairporte for one reason.... Diane. Diane has been cutting my hair for 11 years and I used to see her at Cutting Loose in Concord. When she transferred to David's Hairporte, I followed her because she is the only one I'll allow near my hair. I can't speak about the work of anyone else in there because Diane is the only reason I step foot into that salon. It caters to an older crowd of ladies and hasn't been renovated in years... It looks like a salon from the 70s. It's old school charming. The people there are pretty friendly and there is usually a good story going on somewhere in there for you to overhear. If you need a haircut or color or highlight, Diane is my girl. I'd let her do my hair in a dark alley with box dye and a pair of gardening shears if it came down to that. She's amazing and the only one I trust with my hair! read more

Weird loud music, not relaxing at all...and no disposable cups at the water station. My hair lools great but my whole salon experience was lacking. read more

If you are looking for a new place to get your hair colored & styled, don't ever bother asking if this shop can do the job! I explained my hair dresser had retired after 15 years of coloring & cutting my hair. I had a color formulation on paper in my hand to see if they used the products listed or they had an equivalent. I was told, by the receptionist, they do not use the same product line and told, "If you have used these products & this formulation for over 10 years, I don't think we can satisfy you." I replied, "If I don't try your services, I will never know." Again, I was told, "But, if you have used these products and this formula for over 10 years, I don't think you will be happy." At that statement, I immediately left. It was a lame answer to my question. Someone was too lazy to research my formula for an equivalent with their "in stock" products. I was willing to schedule an interview at a convenient time with an operator to get my question answered or listen to explanation for such an antagonistic statement! Terrible experience! I was not seen by an operator nor did anyone touch my hair to see what they might be working with! All communication was through the receptionist who made the decision & these infuriating statements. They clearly did not want or value my potential business! If you are looking, save your time. Don't bother checking here! The reason I give them 1 star is because Yelp! will not allow the leaving zero stars! read more

I got a color and cut back in June. I wanted to wait a few months to see how it would look growing out before I wrote this review. I had it belayaged from a dark brown to a honey blonde color, and 3 months later, it still looks amazing! The owner Greg is so knowledgeable and truly loves his work. He explained every step of the process and the science behind it. I have never had anyone explain what they would do and why. This will be my go to spot from now on! read more

Our entire family LOVES The Krome Studio! Greg does an amazing job cutting my husband and son's curling hair and Marc is a master colorist on my gray hair! read more

I was in a bind when my barber retired. Where would I go? What would I do? I started at the place nearest my house. Bad idea, bad haircut. I went to a place recommended by a friend: closed on my days off and attitude to boot. I went to one of those new Sportscenter places where they try to convince you a former sideline reporter cuts your hair. I left with dried blood on my neck. Then I found the Hairporte. I walked in on a whim and met Terri. I was a little skeptical at first because much of the clientele has nylons older than me, but after nearly two years of good haircut withdrawal, I had found a new place. Finally, a dependable trim near home. I'd say David's Hairporte is a cut above, but I don't want the pun police to cut me off from the Yelposphere. read more

Diane is absolutely wonderful! She does a great cut and fantastic highlights at a very affordable cost. Not only is she very professional and knowledgeable, she is very sweet and I always enjoy chatting with her as she cuts my hair. I have been going to her for about six years and have never dreamed of going elsewhere- highly recommend her! David's Hairport itself is an older salon and could definitely use an upgrade, but all the employees are very kind and helpful so I always enjoy going in. read more

Thank you so much Krome . For months now I had been wanting to cut my sons hair but I was very nervous About taking him to wrong place walking out with a messed up hair cut full of regrets. I'm so happy I stumbled upon Krome studio. I couldn't be more thankful I absolutely love his cut. Krome the new owner was super friendly and patient, cutting a 2 year olds hair ain't easy. My 5 year old even wants to come get his hair styled by him now. read more

What a wonderful experience! Being new to the area , I had been hesitant to go anywhere to get my hair colour done. But MARY was truly a star and the end results of my hair colour were Surely better than what i had expencted. I would surely be a regular to her . read more

I was charged $45 for a hair trim, and left a $10 tip because that's the norm. I felt $45 was steep for a trim. My hair cut was done by Ray. He did a good job on me, I think. Because my hair is long, I can't really say how dramatic the new cut is on me. He didn't speak to me the whole time. Hair cutters always chatter, I've never experienced a non-chatterer. So this was something I wasn't used to. I haven't figured out yet if he was in a mood or he is just a non-chatterer. But regardless, it made for a different experience - kinda militaristic - go in, wait, tell him what you want, done, pay. I was a walk in at 1 PM on a weekday and didn't have to wait. read more

Need a haircut, highlighting or just about anything, go to the Krome Studio. It is located in the Countrywood Shopping Center in Walnut Creek, corner of Bancroft and Treat. Make your appointment with MARY. She is the best! She is very knowledgeable, friendly and very easy to talk to. My hair turns out terrific everytime! read more

I got my hair done by Teri here about 2 weeks ago, so this review is a bit dated. Honestly, I loved everything about this place since the second that I entered the door. Everyone was so sweet and accommodating. Teri was so detail oriented and sweet telling me the steps that she was doing to my hair. I am still absolutely in love with my hair, thank you so much Teri! read more

Wow, I am so impressed with Greg. He is the best. I've been looking for a barber for my son. My son hair is very thick and it's been always so hard to cut his hairs and every places we went, was never 100% satisfied with the cut. But I took my son to Greg couple days ago and he cut my sons hair amazing! He was so good with my son. Mind you my son is only 2, and I can tell he's great with kids. He even had a treasure box with full toys. My son didn't even cry or fuss. Greg was so professional and quick. I'm so happy that I finally found a great barber for my son. read more

Mary has been doing my hair since I moved to the Bay Area years ago. She is absolutely amazing. She does a great job coloring and cutting my hair and doesn't have you sitting in the salon all day. My hair looks great each time I visit. If you're looking for a great stylist I highly recommend Mary. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. read more

I fly from New York City to visit family throughout the year and I also make to to book my appointment with Mary! My Mother always gets her hair done by Mary and gets compliments from her co-workers, friends and family. We wouldn't go anywhere else. She is friendly and an absolute pro! I highly recommend her if you want a fabulous haircut! read more

I've been coming to this salon for years . Greg, Terry, Mary and Mandy are so friendly and I always get VIP treatment even during covid they got me in on a Sunday when it was possible. Parking is so easy and the cost is very fair. Don't hesitate book an appointment and you'll be happy with your next beauty treatment read more

We moved back to the Bay Area a few years ago and I tried many places to find someone who could do a good job cutting my hair. I wear it fairly short, it is curly but not thick and heavy. TERI IS THE ONE! She knows how to cut curly hair. There is more to a short haircut than whacking it off and Teri has the skill and knowledge and does it correctly. Teri has had some medical problems the past year but I saw her last week and she is doing well and once again tamed my somewhat unruly locks with a really good haircut which looks great from day one. I highly recommend Teri, I know she has all the skills (color, etc) but I cannot comment as I do not have experience with that. Price is reasonable and parking is easy at David's Hairporte. Ask for Teri especially if you have curly hair. read more

This review is long overdue! The Krome studio has been such a great addition to my entire family. The owner Greg, (who goes by Krome) is so talented and amazing at what he does. I have followed him since the first cut I had with him about 2 years ago now. Greg cuts my hair, my husband, my son and my daughter and we all have extremely different hair textures and styles. Krome can do it all. He is consistent, affordable and a pleasure to be around. I love my hair after every cut! The salon is going through some great renovations and they have some other very skilled stylist. I highly recommend giving it a try! read more

Mary is amazing! She knows what she is doing and is an expert at it. I come for a wash, cut, and dry - she is thorough and professional. The best thing I like about her is that since she REALLY is adept and talented, she can cut my hair quickly and I'm out of there within a half hour. My time is important and I don't like how hairdressers dawdle and take all day. I highly recommend Mary!! read more

Mary is the best. She fits me in wherever she can. She is fast and efficient. Most of all, I've been happy with my hair each and every time I've been there. read more

David's Hairporte is very relaxed and friendly. If u want to get your hair done quickly and look good go to Mary. She is always honest with what would look good on you. read more

The Krome Studio - Mary did this. Go see for yourself. Always a great cut, color and style. - Hair Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I've been going to Mary for a few years now. She does a great job and I highly recommend her!

I moved to the area 4 years ago during which time I have found nobody who could cut or color my very thick and unruly hair until my neighbor recommended Mary at David's Hairporte. The quality is stellar. I just had another wonderful cut and color/highlights from Mary at Davids and am thrilled with the outcome. Couldn't be happier that the I have finally found someone I can count on for consistently great service and quality! Thumbs up!!! read more

I have been going to Teri Kirby for about 3 years now and she always does a very professional cut. Teri always makes time for you and is extremely pleasant just like the rest of the staff at David's Hairporte. I would highly recommend Teri to anyone that is in need of a new hairdresser as you will not be disappointed. The prices are reasonable and the location is great just over at the Countrywood Shopping Center. Teri is awesome. read more

Just had a similar experience as Roger L. Just moved here from Washington State and need a place to get my hair done. The person who answered the phone was really rude. Thought I was someone that she knew and laughed at me when I asked if I could make an appoint to get my hair cut and colored. When I explained that I was a new customer looking for a haircut and color was informed that they are booked a month out. Don't waste your time calling, they have all the business they want. read more

I have to agree with the reviewer who also goes to Diane. I think she does an awesome job with haircuts and highlights! My daughter also really likes her. I love what she does with my hair and highlights. And she makes me laugh and enjoy my visit! I look forward to see her every time! read more

I love David. Simple. I got a really bad haircut from another salon, you know one of those high end cutting edge places with the latest decor. I went in to see David to see if there was anything he could do to fix the mess that used to be my hair. Not only did he fix my horrible haircut, I now have a great new hair style but a new stylist too. Contrary to some reviewers, the shop does have clients of all ages, just depends on what time you are there. As for the decor, I paid good money for a haircut in one of those "new now" salons and had to come back to a true professional to get my hair cut correctly and professionally. I pay for a hair cut and style, not decor. I learned the hard way that decor is not always the best indicator of quality. I love David, I love the folks who work in his salon. I get a great hair cut, I get great service and I don't get phony attitude. read more

I have been going to David specifically for the last two years. After my first dresser moved to Palm Springs he suggested I take him. I have always been satisfied with my haircut there. The price is right, $35 a great haircut at a price lower than most other salons. I enjoy the nostalgic charm and the hair washing stations that the chair you get your cut in swings into. My mother goes to Diane, maybe she is better for women haircuts. I would strongly suggest giving this place a try. read more

Mary did a fantastic job on my a-line bob cut and color/highlights, even took some extra time to get the cut just right when I hadn't been able to clearly articulate what I was looking for. The shop was clean, in a great location, and all the people working were friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

Diane is the bomb there, shemis the only one who can cone close to my hair with colors! Love the job she does

I started going here for my own hair cuts a little over a year ago. I got tired of spending close to $100 for a mediocre haricut at high end salons. My hair is fairly thick and slightly wavy and the high-end places all tried to give me a cookie cutter look by plastering my hair with all sorts of "product". Yes, I know sleek and smooth is the style but it's not me. David gives me a great cut that works with my hair, not against it. read more

I love this salon! Warm and friendly and MARY is excellent! She knew exactly how to color my hair just how I wanted. I highly recommend her!! Sherri Stultz read more

This place is great! It's well organized and everyone is always very welcoming. I never have issues booking and the prices are amazing which is a bonus. Also that place looks great since Greg took over! read more

5 stars for Mary. She has been coloring, cutting, and styling my hair for years. She gives me her honest opinion about how a style will look on me and how to maintain it on my own. She is proficient with all hair types and ages of clientele. You have to see her! read more
