How many ways do I love Third Reflection Salon? Too many to count. I've been going to Desiree, the owner, for almost 10 years, and I absolutely adore her. She makes me look incredible every single time and somehow always knows exactly what will work, even with my big round head! Beyond the talent, she's just fun. Every appointment feels like catching up with a great friend for an hour or two. And when I'm in one of my "let's do something weird with my hair" phases, she talks it through with me honestly, like, "Are you sure, girl?" and I trust her completely. Finding the right stylist can take forever, but Third Reflection is 100% my fit. I wouldn't go to anyone else. read more

I got a cut from Desiree a few weeks ago, my first time at this super cute and chic salon. It's always scary trying someone new (had to 'break up' with my hair guy I'd been going to for 10+ yrs) and this was a wonderful experience! When I got there she took the time to ask me thoughtful questions about my hair care and maintenance routine, styles I liked, the look I was going looking for. I have straight, flat Asian hair and I'm always wanting more volume / waves despite being a very low maintenance gal. Not only did she majorly deliver on the cut (looked even better than the pic I showed her), she showed me a 5 minute styling that added so much. I will definitely be going back - I've found my new place. read more

Desiree was awesome! She helped this mom of toddlers who's hair has perpetually been in a utility braid get her fun hair back. Took my feedback, gave easy styling tricks, honored my hairs natural tendencies! Definitely recommend and so glad she had a same day appointment open up when I texted! read more

It's been about 3 months since I got my hair done by Steph and I am still getting compliments on my hair! I asked for something low maintenance because I just can't keep anything up and just like she described it would eventually get lighter and it did so nicely! My co workers think I've done my hair again but really it's just fading nicely and perfectly for fall. The salon is cute, clean, and the vibes were chill. Steph is down to earth, makes you feel comfortable, and time flew by. Thank you! read more

I've been going to Emily for a couple of years now, and she's hands down the best stylist I've ever had. I'm naturally dark brown and wanted a change, and she helped me transition to a soft chestnut that looks completely natural--yet I get compliments on it almost every week. She's a pro and knows exactly how to get the tone just right without it ever feeling brassy or harsh. Beyond her skill, what makes Emily stand out is how easy she is to talk to. She's real, straight up, and there's zero pressure to pretend--you can be honest, and she actually listens. The whole experience feels effortless, and I always leave feeling like myself but better. Highly recommend!! read more

I've been going to Desiree for more than 10 years and only trust her with my hair. She talks to you about your hair styling preferences and makes the hair work with what you want. I can't imagine going to anyone else. She is the absolute best! I always leave looking and feeling amazing. read more

Desiree is an amazing stylist at her salon Third Reflection! Went in with scraggly hair about 1/2 way grown out, from dying to my natural gray and white hair. Wonderful support of the direction I was going with the natural look. Her stylist skills showing off with an awesome cut to highlight the new style. Highly recommend!! read more

Desiree is simply fantastic! I was referred to her by a friend of mine and I'm so glad I took her up on the recommendation. I first went in for a cut two-ish years ago. I loved it! She was willing to work with me and my preferences since I have curly hair. Her cut was great! It looked wonderful with curls and straight! If you know you know! Later I went in and got a cut and balayage. She really helped me choose the right color for what my needs were and we settled on something that worked with my grays. It's stunning. I was so shocked at how natural it looked while still bringing in a lightness too. I got complimented a lot. Absolutely worth it! read more

Stephanie is the BEST! She became my go-to hairstylist for haircuts when she was in Pleasanton, and I had tried 3 other stylists so that says a lot. Fast forward 2 years, when she transitioned to being in Lafayette, of course I followed her, which says even more! Stephanie is a fantastic listener and will nail down exactly what you're looking for, while giving you realistic plan based on your lifestyle and maintenance level, and also suggestions for doing something a little different and fun but without the pressure. We've done bobs, lobs, bangs--all the things! I had a trusted colorist I was going to for the past 8 years, but decided to let Stephanie do her magic and she.did.not.disappoint. So glad to have her as my go-to for all things hair! read more

I honestly wish I could give Stephanie more than five stars because she truly is the best. I first started going to Stephanie years ago when she was in Pleasanton and knew from the start she would be my go-to stylist! She is such a great listener and knows exactly what to ask to help you articulate what you're looking for (something I've always struggled with)! Not only do I leave feeling amazing and so happy with her work, she ensures it grows out beautifully, which speaks to her talent! Stephanie is also a fountain of knowledge and has shared so many helpful styling tips and ways to manage my current hair loss issues. To top it all off she is an incredibly kind person and I'm so grateful to have found her!! read more

I've been seeing Desiree at Third Reflection Salon for over 3 years, and I can confidently say I'll never trust anyone else with my hair.

Stephanie Tiatco has been my go to girl for a few years now! It is so hard to find a great all around stylist and I am convinced there is nothing she can't do! I love to see that she is always working on her skills and taking classes! She really takes her time and puts care into her work. I love the extensions and blonding she has done for me over the years, she's very forward about what works and what doesn't for me. I would follow her anywhere!!! The salon its self is located right next to Orange theory so sometimes the lot can be busy but overall I love the vibe of her new salon and I love that she uses quality products. Truly love my experience every time! read more

So glad Stephanie was recommend to me. She is currently building her client list as she is making a more permanent move from Pleasanton to Lafayette for her craft. Her pricing is transparent.

I've finally found my hair stylist! I've gone to Stephanie twice for a haircut and I'm confident to say she's whom I'll be booking with for the foreseeable future. Both times she's made me feel heard about the look I'm hoping to achieve and I felt like we were working together to arrive at the style direction. She took the time to carefully evaluate my hair and discuss our options with both confidence and an open mind. In my most recent appointment with Stephanie she took extra time to give me styling tips. I'm as lazy as can be when it comes to my hair so I found this so helpful. As an added bonus, she is a sweetheart and a joy to spend time with. read more

Third Reflection Salon - New 'do, complements of Stephanie - Hair Salons Near Me - Lafayette, California

Desiree is wonderful! I've been bouncing around trying to find someone in the area who is attentive to detail and works with me to find just the right cut. Too often I've been to places where you are whisked in and you get rushed through the cut because that's what the schedule dictates. The person doesn't listen and you go home feeling like you just wasted your money. That's not the case with Desiree. She's a charm to work with and gives the feedback you need as well as listens to what you don't want. I am so glad I found her. The salon itself is small and quiet which is more toward my preference. You won't have the hustle and bustle you might normally encounter along with all the chatter. Parking is a breeze as well. read more

Desiree is AMAZING! I had been looking for a stylist I can trust in the Bay Area for so long and I'm so glad I finally found Desiree. I went to her first for a haircut 2-3 months ago. She delivered exactly what I was looking for. Yesterday I saw her for another cut but I also wanted to get color this time. She did a tremendous job!! Listened to me, told me about her plan in detail, answered all my questions, and combined different techniques (highlights + lowlights + toning) meticulously to get a look that was even better than I could imagine. Desiree is a true artist and you should absolutely make an appointment with her! read more

I'm so glad I found Desiree! During our first appointment she sat with me, and asked a few questions to make sure we were on the same page regarding my cut and look. Desireé was super friendly and answered all my questions! It had been months since my last trim and I had so many split ends, now my hair feels alive and healthy! Another big plus is her location, super private which reduces risk of COVID spread. Felt incredibly safe not having to be exposed to other people. Can't wait to be back for another healthy cut! read more
