I've been going to Dry Bar for years & was SUPER sad/shocked when I found out they closed down the…read moreSantana Row location - as a result, I had to find another nearby blow dry hair bar (last minute) to get my hair done for my anniversary dinner. I know how thin & stubborn my hair can be & am almost certain no stylist can ever blow dry any curls in my hair without tools...but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and made an appointment anyway because it was a last minute decision. I walked in a bit early so another stylist took a stab at my hair (and spent about 10-15 minutes working on it) before my assigned stylist took over - after about 10-15 minutes, she asked me if it's OK to use a curling iron...of course I said "yes" knowing it was gonna end up that way...her manager also approved using it without charging me extra because she also saw how much trouble both stylists had with my hair... I'm glad I at least gave them a try so I know they can't meet the needs of my hair (without paying extra for curling iron)!

I'm really disappointed with my experience at this blowout studio today. I had an appointment for…read moremyself and my two daughters. They were taken right away, which I appreciated, but the issue came with my service. When I arrived, I was told they only had 45 minutes for my blowout. At no point did anyone clearly say, "We won't be able to complete your full service." Had that been communicated, I would have chosen to go home and style my own hair and let my daughters compete their service, especially since I had a very important event to attend. Instead, they had me sit down and proceeded with a wash and a quick blow-dry, with no styling, no volume, and essentially no finished look. I ended up with flat, unfinished hair and lost an hour of my time. This was extremely frustrating, especially on a day that mattered so much to me. Clear communication is all I needed and is extremely important for business when people rely on you to help make their day a lil lighter. I would not have gone through with the appointment if I had known the service wouldn't be completed. Unfortunately, this was a major letdown and not the level of professionalism I expected and now I'm driving home to finish my hair just mins before my very important event.

After 21 years of amazing haircuts by Mariola, I must tell the world! Am I ever the lucky one to…read morehave met Mariola all those many years ago. She was recommended to me by a friend and still today, I wouldn't even think to go to anyone else! I can count on Mariola to work her wizardry every time I come in for a cut. I remember her telling me one day, that each time she cuts my hair, it might be just a tad bit different. She looks at my face, the current length. She asks questions, even today...were the bangs too long last time? Do want this part shorter, etc? She takes to a haircut, the way an artist might take to a canvas and she enjoys the process. It may take a little longer to finish, but she's a perfectionist and I'm totally okay with that. The finished look is always bright and refreshing. She is up with trends, and yet knows all the classic styles as well. Being an artist myself, I let her do whatever she wants with my hair. She truly loves to create something great and she does, every time! My friends and family are still commenting on my cute haircut. I happily tell them, Mariola is still doing my hair! She's even able to work with gobs of white strands, making it look cool to be older and not coloring my hair. We joke about that...maybe someday I will. Also, Mariola is just a sweet, wonderful person. We chat about anything and everything and I always learn something from her. Thanks Mariola, for 21 years of great hair!!! If you're searching for your own refreshing new look, set-up an appt with Mariola!

Really happy with my haircut at Essence Salon with Yessenia!…read more Booked a haircut appointment with Yessenia through the website for a Tuesday afternoon. I asked for a rounded haircut with lots of layers and face-framing pieces and I showed her my inspo photos as well. She first washed my hair and then got started on the cut. Yessenia did an amazing job! She was friendly and professional and gave me exactly what I requested. I wasn't sure whether to go with lighter or heavier curtain bangs/face-framing pieces, and she knew exactly what would suit me when she suggested sticking with lighter face framing. She also somehow managed to style my frizzy Indian hair perfectly without using much tension on the brush, which was shocking to me. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Yessenia and Essence Salon and will definitely be returning!

When you come to her salon it's small but cute, she's easy to talk to and she uses technology from japan. She usually checks several points of your scalp to see how different each part looks. She puts blankets on you and reclines you all the way to start the scalp treatment. She does the initial hair wash and then eventually steams your scalp and puts on a hair mask as well. She also does a little bit of head/scalp massage which is super relaxing. It's a good amount of pressure but not too much. She does a great job blow drying and styling at the end! Love her and will definitely be back! Also love the milbon line that she recommended and used on my scalp.

I don't know if it's salon procedure or if the stylist was just skimping but I had brought my 4-year-old daughter in for her very first haircut, ever. Her hair was past her bottom and too long for us to manage. I convinced her it was going to be fun because someone was going to wash her hair and massage her head a little, give it a trim and a nice blow dry....ummm...not what happened. My babe never got her hair washed. Stylist just did a dry cut. And it was over in 20 minutes. $60?! Whoa. She didn't get a $60 experience. No hair wash or blow dry. Just a quick rough, dry cut. She was disappointed and so was I. We didn't say anything but reflecting back, I was shocked at being charged so much for so little service. It was $60 with tip. I'm assuming the salon sets a base price, not the stylist. Nevertheless, I take my daughter elsewhere where she gets the full salon experience. She's only 5 but she loves getting her hair washed and blown out.
