Its been a few years since I updated my review-since I was making a family trip back to the bay for the holidays, I wanted to return to Thanh for another hair cut. As usual she was extremely attentive and took her time in the process of making sure my hair was measured before trimming, and asked me beforehand what I was comfortable with in terms of how much hair I was willing to cut. I will for sure come back whenever I can make another trip! read more

Thanh is SO incredibly TALENTED! I am officially obsessed with my hair again. I had so many grays and my hair was soooo entirely dead and burnt; Thanh was able to bring my hair back from the dead after ten years of it being bleached blonde and then dyed black. Do you know how difficult that is to work with?! I am so grateful for her and her magic touch. She is super smart because she has a biology background and her salon is as clean as a whistle, not to mention super chic too. Thank you Thanh! Of course I couldn't leave without booking my next appointment. Do you want to love yourself again? I am sure you do, so you should definitely give Thanh a call. read more

Had a really great experience here with Thanh! I got babylights, a haircut, and a treatment. She took the time to explain what would work best for my hair. The babylights blended nicely and my hair feels so much healthier after the treatment. Super happy with the results and would definitely come back! read more

Thanh was AMAZING!! I had been so hesitant to get a hair cut but Thanh made me feel so at ease. I had gotten a curly hair cut (I normally straighten it and get it cut) from a different stylist and it left me with really bad layers. Thanh explained everything to me on how we were going to fix it. She used products specifically for my hair, and always made sure I knew what she was doing! She was the sweetest too and I have never met a stylist who was so gentle, I loved it! She shaped it perfectly and I'm so excited to go back to her. I trust her 100% with my hair. She knows what's she is doing and you can tell she cares about her clients! read more

Trend Salon SJ - Hair cut - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I recently went back for an updated blowout with the newer version of the Brazilian Blowout formula and I once again left very happy! While the process does take a little longer than the original, the results are just as beautiful and worth it in the end. 10/10 would recommend Thanh and Trend Salon. read more

Thanh was simply amazing! She took the time to understand my hair concerns, and walked me through each step of the process. I needed hair color correction and I was hesitant to recolor in case of additional hair damage as well as the unknowns of the end result. I am so glad I trusted Thanh as my hair now looks better than ever!! read more

Trend Salon SJ - Baby highlights & wolf cut - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Oh my gosh, I found my to go place! With a go to person! Ever since I walked in the ambience and service was fantastic. I felt super welcomed attended to and most importantlylistened to. This is my first haircut since giving birth to my new baby girl about three months ago, and I desperately needed a touchup haircut and more. So glad they were there to take care of me-couldn't recommend more if you're looking for somebody to truly truly truly take care of you and listen to you and ultimately give you the best suggestions on what works best for you! read more

Love the quality & the reasonable price here. My hair was so damaged after dying it brown red like 2-3X , but the salon used cheaped hair dye so it ended making my hair so dry and tangled. After coming to Thanh, she fixed my hair color and also help to restore my hair. My hair is much much healthier now, and I am in love!!! read more

She did an amazing job at achieving the color and was very accommodating! Was so relaxed wanted to fall asleep in her chair. My new goto stylist . read more

Moved here 2 years ago and somehow I found the best hair stylist, ever! I'm 39, my hair is very dark, and it's hard to find someone who can blend my gray hairs! Thanh Nguyen did the perfect job! read more

I found my new Hair Fairy! Growing out the gray in my dark hair. I don't know how Thanh does it, but WoW! The colour magic she does is just magic. Thanh is so lovely and patient. Depending what you're having done, appointments can be long. She is so personable, the time flies. She also does great treatments - such a joy to get my hair washed. read more

Thanh Nguyen was so sweet and gave me exactly what i wanted!! She was also super accommodating and took me in a few hours earlier than my appointment. So i came in for a haircut and during the shampoo/wash she was telling me about her hair mask service, and since I'm going through a breakup and wanted to treat myself, and also because I've never had a hair mask before, i decided to give it a go.. and it was WORTH IT! My hair right now is so soft! It was just an added 30 minutes to appointment time too I also showed her a picture of what i wanted, and the haircut/style she gave me was exactly that, she also made good judgment on how my face can be framed better, and she showed me how to style my bangs Overall, super satisfied with my hair! I couldn't stop taking photos! Split ends gone, hair feeling soft :) read more

I love this salon and especially Thanh! Just show Thanh a picture of the hair cut you want and she knows exactly how to create that look on you. Thanh really wants you to be happy with the cut, so if you need to modify it a bit ( like with a little more layers to fit your face and hair), go back to her. Thanh knows hair! read more

I really like her professionalism, using good products that help my hair not be damaged even though it is highlighted. Ms. Thanh is very cute and very dedicated to customers.. read more

My oldest daughter decided to color her own hair. But it came out horribly wrong. I called Thanh and asked for help. She took my daughter in even though she didnt really have time. Thanh is so nice and always friendly and took care of my daughter the best she can. My daughter have work at night and can't go into with the current hair condition. So the best way out was to fix it with dark color in a short time frame. I could've done a box dyed but its just not the same thing. Now all 3 of my daughters have found their stylist. read more

First time at this salon for full color, highlights, and cut. Wow, it turned out to be better than I expected. I've been through my stylists and Thanh by far the best colorist I've had. I got lots of compliments right after the appointment. I already made the next appointment. Thanks for the nice hair read more

First time client and will definitely come back! I found Trend Salon SJ through Yelp. Was looking for some place new. Decided to be brave, and was glad I found Thanh. Thanh is highly skilled and quite talented. She listens well, showed me pictures for ideas, and did not proceed until we had a meeting of the minds of what my final hairstyle will look like. Thanh's assistant is also very kind and thorough. I felt very relaxed during the entire time she was washing my hair and blow drying. Throughout the haircut, Thanh explained what she was doing. She uses excellent hair products and explained to me the benefits of Kerastase hair products. My haircut at the end looked exactly how she explained it to me in the beginning. I will definitely come back for color and babylights. read more

I have consistently had a positive experience at Trend Salon SJ! This review is long overdue. I have been visiting Thanh for over ten years and am extremely satisfied with her services. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an expert in hair coloring and cuts. Her salon is beautiful and creates a relaxing atmosphere. I have referred her to my friends and family, all of whom have been very pleased with her work as well. The quality and selection of products she uses have helped my hair remain soft and silky. I am a loyal client and trust no one else but Thanh! read more

My hair type: medium to long length with light waves; thin, dehydrated, frizzy and not a lot to work with. I submitted an appointment request form on Thanh's website, thinking what I needed was a Brazilian blowout to revitalize my hair. Thanh shared her availability and I was able to get an appointment the following week. Day of the appointment, Thanh messaged that she could meet me earlier if I was available - which I was. Instead of 3pm, we moved my appointment to 11:30am. The salon is located in the new plaza construction right next to Century Mall. The salon is right next to Tea Lyfe. Because Thanh only takes appointments, I felt safe about COVID precautions. When I got there, Thanh was wrapping up a hair appointment with a client. I waited maybe 10-15 minutes because the other client was asking about hair products. I could tell off the bat that Thanh was not like your standard, Asian hair stylist. She first asked and confirmed what I was coming in for (a Brazilian blowout). I explained my concerns and what I was hoping to address with the blowout. Thanh gave her honest professional opinion, not trying to endorse or up-sell. She advised based on my hair type and concern. Instead of a Brazilian blowout, which would have left my hair extremely flat and limp, Thanh walked me through what a deep conditioning treatment was instead. She did not try to get me to do a higher priced service - the treatment was more affordable than a blowout. As she detoxed and washed my hair (at least 5-8 times!!!) because of all the product build up, Thanh explained what she was doing and gave tips on what hair routine I need to do to revitalize and bring health back to my hair. After several relaxing hair washes to get all the gunk out, Thanh used a revitalizing PH balancer. Then off I went to the chair for the deep conditioning hair treatment. Thanh explained the areas each mask was addressing for my hair concerns. Very thorough. She took it one step further by taking special care of the developing scalp psoriasis I had. She applied a topical cream (unfortunately discontinued and now only available in a serum form) that calmed my psoriasis. I waited 45 minutes for the treatment to do its thing. Thanh went back to her desk to answer work emails. I felt relaxed, working away on my laptop and occasionally chatting with Thanh. She washed the treatment off after. I decided to get a trim after the treatment was done because my ends were practically dead from all the heat I applied to my hair in the past several months. Thanh again gave her professional opinion but left the decision up to me on what I wanted. She suggested long layers because the previous short layers I had was thinning my hair out and not helping with volume. After the trim, Thanh applied the serum version of the relief cream that was discontinued on my problem psoriasis areas. Talk about above and beyond! A revitalizing and strengthening hair cream was also applied to my hair after. She then spritzed a layer of hair protectant from another bottle before she began to blow dry my hair. My hair felt a million times lighter, healthier and glossier. ABOVE AND BEYOND. I will surely come back to Thanh for her expertise and knowledge. The salon sells Kerastase solely and Thanh never urged me to purchase anything. I felt the results from the products itself and decided to get a shampoo, conditioner, cream and serum. I'll be back in 3-5 months for a trim and another deep conditioning treatment. Until then 5/5 stars. read more

Thanh did such an amazing job to cut and color my hair! She is very professional and friendly. She gave good consulting and also willing to listen. The saloon is well kept, clean and comfortable.

Thanh is amazing! She not only accommodated me with all my weird haircut requests for men's hair cut but also helped me trim my hair again in 2 weeks since I felt it was a bit too long from the last hair cut. She did the trimming for free although it took her more than 30 mins ! What a great experience . I definitely recommend everybody to visit Trend Salon ! Thank you Thanh read more

Second time getting services here and will certainly become a loyal customer. After trying out a couple of hairstylists in the area, no one beats Thanh's welcoming vibe. She's kind, knowledgeable, and transparent with her customers. She also communicates very well, listens to your hair needs, and recommends what she thinks is best for your hair type. She also recommends products that will help nourish your hair without being pushy! I came by today for a trim and to try out the kerastase hair treatment. The treatment was very relaxing and throughout the process, Thanh explains what she's putting on my hair and what it will do for my hair. The treatment took about an hour, including the shampoo and rinse. I also enjoyed that she took her time and explained every step. As for my haircut, I told her that I wanted to grow out my hair and will just be needing a trim. She never cuts too much, just the right amount. Now, my hair feels healthy, light, and bouncy. I can't wait to come back and try out different treatments! read more

Honestly the best service I could ask for from a salon! I felt very comfortable and welcomed throughout my whole experience. Thanh was very understanding and flexible when scheduling my appointment and even when I was indecisive about what color to dye my hair, she gave me really good feedback to help me choose. I got a global bleach to dye my hair pink and shadow root! She made my hair so soft and shiny compared to how it was before. Not to mention the great products she uses for her clients. I would definitely recommend going to Thanh for any of your hair needs! She's very caring to her customers and I have no complaints about her. read more

This was my first time at Trend Salon, and I had an amazing experience. I walked in and was automatically welcomed. Thanh was extremely helpful in giving me tips as we talked about my hair cut and color. I felt extremely taken care of! Her assistants were also extremely sweet. After the appointment, I was so happy with my hair! Thank you for taking care of me (and for the tea)! read more

I usually don't get my hair done often, because I am having a hard time finding a salon that actually is trying to archieve what I am asking for. My hair was extremely damaged from overbleaching, but I really needed a touch up. Thanh was so knowledgeable and provided a great consultation! I ended up getting babylights and a treatment. I paid $350, which is fair, since the process was a lot of work ( 5hrs) and she used great quality products. She also did a little trim for free to help my hair to grow better, which was really nice. Dead ends are gone without loosing much length, yay! :) A day later, my hair feels so much healthier than before and looks super natural. For everyone concerned about Covid Safety: The salon was extremely clean, handsanitizer was avaialble throughout the salon and Tranh was wearing a mask the whole visit. read more

Trend Salon SJ - Before and after :) - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Today I came in and the ladies here are so nice. I was a bit skeptical because there was only one person in the salon. My hair was brittle and super dry and lost hope in repairing it so I decided to chop it off. Let me tell you they UNDERSTOOD the assignment. My hair has never been this silky smooth or healthy in a long time. God bless these ladies hair cut was $75 which is not bad for my type of hair length and the services that were provided. They shampooed my hair with multiple shampoos and conditioners, blow dried and was conditioned. Took her maybe an hour if that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLEASE SEE PHOTOS. read more

I am so glad I found Thanh for my bob haircut! I know bob haircuts can be a bit more on the challenging side but she was able to get that sharp angle I was looking for. As part of my haircut session, she included a thorough hair wash and explained that she washes out any products in the hair prior to the cut. It really did make my hair shine! I have found my go-to spot! read more

Trend Salon SJ - Before and after - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I always hit Thanh up super last minute for my haircuts and she's always found a way to squeeze me in with the best of her abilities. I have always been hesitant with getting my hair cut because all the stylists I've been to so far have chopped off way more length than they promised. Thanh has been the only stylist that stuck to her word!! She always doubles (and sometimes even triple) check with me before she starts snipping away. Thanh has brought all of my visions to life even when I've provided blurry photos and unclear descriptions. Her salon is super tidy and she has such a warm personality. Whenever I stepped through her doors, she welcomes me like an old friend. Conversations with Thanh never feels forced and that's such a godsend for someone who is an introvert! She's my one and only that I go to for anything that has to do with my hair! read more

I don't like writing negative reviews on Yelp but I feel it is warranted since I relied on Yelp to come here. This was a huge appointment for my daughter who gets her hair done once every two years ... and turning 21 next week she was very excited walking into the appointment. We showed Thanh what she wanted and she never said she couldn't do it or that it would take more than one appointment. And my daughter only wanted 4 inches cut off but ended up getting much more - when a client specifically asks for only 4 inches it needs to be just that - shaping or no shaping. When the color was done, we were disappointed it wasn't anything like the photo we showed and then at that time we were just told it couldn't be done in one appointment. $600 later.... Wrong color.... Too short ... and a very sad daughter who has been in tears for two days. And not only were we not offered any financial recourse, now we probably have to pay another $500 to get it corrected. A very expensive lesson - we felt deceived to get an expensive hair appointment when the capability wasn't there. read more

This review is for Thanh at Trend Salon SJ. She is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and valued as a customer. Thanh's expertise and attention to detail truly shine through in every aspect of the service provided. Not only did Thanh listen attentively to my hair concerns, but also offered insightful suggestions that perfectly complemented my style. The haircut and root touchup/partial color I received exceeded my expectations - it was precise, stylish, and exactly what I envisioned. Thanh's warm demeanor and professionalism made the entire experience enjoyable and relaxing. The ambiance of Trend Salon SJ further enhanced the overall experience, creating a serene atmosphere that is truly top-notch. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Thanh at Trend Salon SJ for anyone seeking exceptional hair care services. Thank you, Thanh, for the Oolong tea. It was much appreciated, especially on a rainy day. Five stars service all around!! read more

I would give Thanh more stars if I could. I have never dyed my hair before and was a bit nervous going into it, but Thanh made me feel at ease very quickly. She explained the process (I got a balayage treatment done) and answered all of my questions. She made me feel like a hair model that belongs in a magazine. Will definitely be back. read more

Thanh is very welcoming, kind, knowledgeable and transparent! Right from the start she made me feel comfortable and excited about my color and cut. Thanh was open with me about what she recommends for my hair in order to make it look healthy, soft, and shiny without any pressure. She definitely made sure to give my hair some love with her special products and I have not seen my hair this healthy in a long time! I loved the results and am so glad to finally have found a hairstylist whom I can trust. read more

Thanh's Salon was already super clean and organized before COVID-19. However, I know she has taken extra steps to be up to recent Code changes and regulations by Santa Clara County. My wife and I get the best service from her and I know she takes every precaution for clients. I just want to say "Thank You"! read more

Thanh is a hair magician. I came in on a Friday appointment as she managed to fit me in her schedule since one of her client cancelled on her and it was my day off. Prior to visiting this salon, I looked for various other salons and I am so glad I followed my intuition with Trend Salon Sj. I normally don't write long reviews especially the good kind lol, but this is an exception. If you're looking for VIP service, high quality products (Kerastase and B3 Brazilian Bond Builder) and reasonable pricing, I tell you, Look No Further! My hair had a reddish/ yellowish tone that was ruined by my previous hairstylists. I wanted ash brown balayage highlights and cut. Thanh explained to me that she was only able to lift it as much as it can go, and of course it still turned out amazing. She also thoroughly explained through each step while she worked on me, products she's using, what effects on my hair, how to maintain, the whole package really! Her honesty and patience is golden. Not to mention she gave me a slight discount since my hair was thin and used lesser products. Understandably I left with a big smile and am looking forward to booking my next appointment with Thanh in six months. Thank you Thanh! read more
