Love this place! I had my haircut with Samantha. She listened to what I had in my mind and gave me her honest opinion and suggested what she thought was good for me! Had a great experience :) read more

I couldn't recommend Hunter enough! He makes the time fly by with his wonderful personality, and his knowledge of hair and what would suit you is unmatched. I had full faith in him and he did such a great job with my blonde highlights and cut! read more

So I've been to Umbrella twice now. The first time, I saw Jade, and while the cut wasn't bad in a technical sense, it wasn't my style and I left a little disappointed. I was a little hesitant about going back, but it's in a good location for me and people seem to like & recommend it on here frequently, so I figured I'd give them another chance, and boy am I glad I did. This time, I saw Samantha and I'll be damned if she didn't do what I feel is one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I went in with a general style in mind; something dramatically different from what I was used to. She analyzed the shape of my face and the style to make sure it would work on me, clarified the length and everything, then went ahead with the cut. Not only did Samantha take her time and not rush the cut at all, but I was EXTREMELY impressed that she did also the whole thing by hand. The cut turned out fantastic and I've received nothing but compliments on it since. I immediately booked another appointment with her to come back and keep it looking neat and clean in a few weeks and am extremely happy with my experience! I honestly can't recommend Samantha enough. Absolutely amazing and worth every penny! read more

I came back for another haircut, and requested for Danielle again! Danielle never fails to impress me. I chopped off almost 8 inches, and I was honestly scared. I thought that it would look bad on me, but I was wrong! Danielle helped me pick what best suited me. My hair is really thick and heavy, so she thinned it out a little and made the back shorter. My hair came out exactly how I wanted it to be! Thank you so much Danielle! I can't get over how nice my hair looks! I love it!! read more

I went to this salon last year to get my hair colored plum. They have a really nice salon and its very modern. The girl who helped me, which I forgot her name, was very helpful and nice. The hair coloring cost me 80 dollars not including tip. The price depends on who is doing your hair and what type of hair style/color you are getting. The downside to this salon is that not all the stations are in good lighting. They have four stations near a window which I think is ideal for hair coloring. I thought the hair coloring was ok? I would have liked a deeper plum but my hair is dark so it probably makes sense if I lightened my hair first. Would I go back? Probably. But it wouldn't be my first selection. read more

Nathan is sheer genius! Without fail, this man makes my hair beautiful. He's also so warm and attentive. He makes me feel like a movie star every time I see him (which clearly I need to do more often!!!). I'm sharing before and after pics so you can see the majesty of his work. Run, don't walk to get an appointment with this hair master. read more

You will NOT be disappointed after seeing Danielle. After countless trips to different salons, I almost gave up on my hair. Danielle brought it back to life, omg. The balayage she has done on me is so natural and gorgeous. Not choppy if you know what I mean. She also cut my hair beautifully and really took her time. She is not only super sweet as a person (literally the least snobby hairdresser I've ever had) but you can tell in her work how she cares about the integrity of your hair. Danielle takes her work seriously. I've seen her three times now and I've always left in love with my hair. The front desk staff are very sweet as well :) read more

I've been going to Kien for almost 10 years!! He's the best! I have long thick hair, I've been a readhead, blonde and now natural golden. My hair is super healthy because they use the best products and Kien+team make sure every color process is safe. His cuts are incredibly amazing as well! He just gave me the best long layers yesterday. There are many talented stylists at Umbrella as well for all your needs. Thank you Kien for always making my hair fabulous! read more

Love love love Dacia. She been styling my hair since past 2 years and I absolutely love her and her work. She understands my requirements, she gives good suggestions and overall does an amazing job. Definitely recommend this place and her. read more

I have been going to Umbrella, and seeing Anjelika, for over two years now. She is incredible! I see her for hair extensions and color, and she knows my hair well enough that it gets taken care of and maintinaed. Anjie is honest about the health of my hair, the type, length and weight of extensions that my hair can handle, and I always leave happy and feeling great about how I look. Anjie is friendly, fun, makes great product recommendations, and is willing to listen. Sometimes the hair dryer is a bit hot when she blows out your hair, but just let her know and she'll adjust it for you. She's also fairly flexible with her schedule. If you need someone for extensions, go to Anjie. The salon as a whole is a good environment. In going there for over two years, it's nearly always friendly and efficient. Only a handful of times have I experienced a scheduling mix-up, or a very long wait. But I understand that they're busy, and that's fine with me. We're always able to fix the schedule. And I'm nearly always offered a water while I wait. The girls at the front desk are friendly, and offer validation for parking in the structure across the way. I'm consistently very happy with the service I receive from Umbrella (and from Anjie), and will continue to go there. read more

ATTENTION: You are going to see many reviews for stylist that do not work at this salon anymore. loosing more than 6 stylist in a month span. My favorite hair dressers. I will no longer go to umbrella because PARKING SUCKS & ALL THE GOOD STYLIST LEFT & THE OWNER ALWAYS IS IN BAD MOOD. You have been warned! Spend your hard worked money else where! Get your hair dyed somewhere else To management - You deleted my previous Yelp review because it wasn't an ego boost to you. You can not silence every bad Yelp review you get - I will keep reposting it. read more

I was a hair model for Adrian and then two days later had an appointment with her for painting too. I haven't been very happy with hair cuts in the past and am pretty picky but I'm really happy with what she created for me!! Everyone at the salon is friendly, stylish, and clearly take great pride in their work. The salon is clean and it's a nice place to chill and relax while you get whatever done. I highly recommend Adrian and got a chance to look at what the other stylists were creating and saw only happy customers. read more

This has been my best salon experience thus far here in San Jose! I have tried so many salons an stylist and truly no place can compare to the luxurious experience you will receive here at Umbrella! HUNTER! is absolutely amazing made me feel so comfortable in his chair and is filled with knowledge and passion for the creations he does for his clients! I've gone to him twice so far and don't plan on changing that anytime soon! Hunter listen to what his clients want and im truly so happy every-time i leave this salon! Thank you Hunter & Umbrella read more

you guys. Dacia is the best. last time, we had some fun doing a balayage with some lilac toners. I kept receiving so many compliments from strangers and friends. It was absolutely gorgeous and relatively healthy for having bleached it. This time, i decided to chop some of my hair off and do a darker ombre (for the fall). Dacia, once again, kills it. I've had my new haircut for 3 days and it has been compliment after compliment for me. First of all, i was so sleepy and tired the day i went in, and Dacia's amazing head massage did not help. I wanted to chat a bit with her, but kept dosing off. I felt bad, but she was so great to accommodate for me. hahaha. She explained why she was cutting my hair a certain way and shooting out ideas for my hair before we colored it. We experienced excitement together as we experimented with the colors we could do. She is a lot of fun, and so super intelligent in her work. YOU GUYS. Umbrella Salon ruined me in the best way possible. I can't go anywhere else. they really set the bar. read more

Previous review was for Danielle, who is no longer with the salon. Weird experience with this place recently. Had made an appointment with Danielle, but at no point did they contact me to let me know she is no longer @ umbrella or try to schedule me with another stylist, rather, the appointment just vanished into thin air. Because I desperately needed a haircut, booked an appointment with a different stylist at the salon. A day or two later, got a call from them saying they needed to reschedule me because that stylist was leaving also...Something shady (ha-ha-ha...but no, really) going on here read more

Treated my mom to a haircut for her belated birthday gift. I wasn't sure where to take her so I was Yelping a bunch of places in the South Bay and decided on Umbrella because it had the most consistently good reviews. =The Breakdown= Receptionist: Greeted us as soon as we walked in the door. She seemed genuinely happy and friendly. Hairstylist: Her appointment was with Emy. Within 30 seconds of talking to her you feel like you're chatting with your good family friend. My mom didn't really know what specific style she wanted but wanted something that was non-fussy and easy to maintain. My mom came out with a fab hairstyle that was short, stylish and met all her requirements (easy to maintain etc). She looked younger but in an age-appropriate, modern way. You could really tell that Emy listened to what my mom wanted in a haircut and delivered on it. I'm kinda jealous that it was my mom sitting in the salon chair and not me :P Overall, Emy did an amazing job! I highly recommend her. Parking: Parking validation is perfect because, you know, downtown SJ parking is a b*tch. Price: $$$ Pricey but worth the splurge, especially if it's for yo momma :) read more

I'm not a regular Yelper. I write the review when it's a extremely good - or very bad. Nothing in between. And I'm soo pleased to tell about my experience with Umbrella Salon.... especially Jan-Michael. The size and locating of the salon is just great , but the most important - the people who work there. It's not your typical hair salon. They take your experience and results to a very next level. When you get there and have an idea of that you want to get uncomplicated - you will leave 10 times happier with the results. This is what happed with me. Exuding the expectations. Will be recommending Jan-Michael to every single person I know. Love my new hair And loved the experience! Guys, you are awesome.Jan-Michael - keep doing what you do ! You make a lots of people happy. And I'm one of them ! read more

This is the third time I have been to this place and been disappointed. This is it, I am not going back there. Thought changing stylist would help but oh my God! This pretentious place charges you hundreds of dollars and if you leave unsatisfied, what's the point. First time it was Taylor who gave me a cut which was very close to what I had before and I was like, it's ok, maybe next time I will be more specific. Second time, I am not gonna name the lady because she was very nice, cut my hair really well but I was specific that I want red streaks on both sides. Considering I have black hair, when she tried temporary colour, it didn't show up and then she is telling me that she has another appointment so can't do anything else then. You have to take a day off of work to make their appointments and I had then take another day off to come get it fixed the second time. Annoying!! When you know I have black hair, weren't you supposed to bleach it first and then put red? And am I supposed to tell her that or as a hairdresser she should know all this and adjust her schedule around it. All of that was ridiculous waste of time. Third time, I go there to meet the same lady and she does a dry hair cut telling me then we will wash and cut it again. I kept asking, so you will be cutting it again after the wash right and I swear she kept saying oh yeah oh yeah!! After washing, she is now styling and I am thinking I wanted an A-line cut but she only trimmed my hair and is not cutting anymore so I thought I will confirm and show her a picture of what I really wanted. Now she freaks out and says the same thing, I have my next appointment in 10 minutes, you told me you wanted only a trim, if you want this it will be another haircut and I will have to pay double the price. Maybe she thought I was a monkey and really stupid to sit there and listen to all this rubbish. I kept thinking after washing she will be cutting it maybe that's when she will do that. Anyway, after a lot of guilt tripping that she did, she gave me another stylist and oh my God, this other lady just cut it so short that it looks disconnected a-line. I am very very disappointed. It's my hair and it just looks so bad!! I hate it, I am out of so much money and I shed a tear when I came home. Just wanted to get the hell out of there and I am never going back or recommending it to anyone. Absolutely displeased. And after reading this review, I receive an automated message from some manager if they can do something for me. Can you grow my hair back???? Respond to that if you can or else do not text me again. read more

BEWARE of stylist Hunter. I asked for him to remove my dead ends and take off as much as needed to do so. After two hours he finished and I still had dead ends. I am beyond disappointed. When I requested to come back in I was charged again the full price. Money hungry and under delivering. For a salon like this, I am astounded by the lack of customer service. read more

This review is long overdue. I came to Umbrella well recommended by my co-worker who swears by this place as her go to hair salon. She referred me to Roz and on Dec 19, 2013, came in for my first appointment with her for a Balayage-Ombre color service. It was a wonderful first impression the minute I walked in the front door. Front desk was friendly, I was attended promptly and Roz was so sweet and consulted with me very thoroughly before starting. My first session was a good four hours but well worth it. She never cut any corners with my hair. She gave me a beautiful blow-dry and learned some useful styling tips along the way. After my first session I have been in two more times to continue my lightening process and she has been so helpful along the way. I have not been dissatisfied one bit with her work. She is so talented and passionate in her career it shows when you speak to her and it reflects in the beautiful work she has provided me with. I am very impressed by the talent at this salon. The atmosphere is very relaxing as well. Kudos to the owner(s) is establishment! I am glad to have been referred to this salon. This is a Wella salon, they carry only Oribe from what I last remembered. Roz is a Level III stylist which would be equivalent to a Senior/Master so her prices are more on te $$$+ side. But she is worth every penny I have invested in my hair! read more

I just got a hair cut at Umbrella and I am sad to say that I do not like it AT ALL. I won't mention who the stylist was, since she was nice... but at $65 cut, I feel like I have wasted my money. I originally had a short hair, but I wanted to go shorter. So I brought some pictures to show and it was def a different style than what I had. She kept saying, "so, you just want the back shorter?" I kept telling her I want this style and showing her picture. She didn't seem to get it, but we didn't even talk much. Didn't come to an agreement. There, I should have known... a long story short, all she did was make my back super short and trim the front. I was... not happy. I told her it looks different from what I want. and She told me the reason why the picture and my hair cut looks different is because my hair color is different and my hair isn't styled yet. She styled it and it still looked not good. I mean, if it looks different from the picture, but looks great over all, I wouldn't be writing this. But it looks like I have a wig on from the back, since only the back is sooooo short and everywhere else is the same length! She went way up and short, she had to shave the neck, which means when it grows, it will look super messy. I am sure I didn't look happy, but she charged me full amount anyways. I felt rushed out, since she barely styled my hair at the end. I went home and dyed my hair dark, since she told me it would look better if I had one colored hair. Well, after dying them all dark brown, it still looks ridiculous. I am travelling and will be taking anniversary pictures at Paris and I am so so so mad that I have to deal with this for my once in life time photo shot. I will never come back here and will never recommend. read more

Aubrea did an outstanding job on my hair. Came in with one idea and came out with her idea and absolutely loved it.

The prices a great for the wonderful results that you get. Everyone I so friendly and nice. read more

This is for Michelle and Anjelika! I went in for a hair cut, color, and extensions. I had my initial consultation with Michelle and she did my highlights which lifted beautifully. I wanted my hair to be fuller, thicker, and longer so she introduced me to Anjelika. Anjelika did an AMAZING job on my hair I'm absolutely pleased with the outcome of my hair. It's been a good solid month and my tape-in extensions still look amazing as they first did. Color matches with my natural hair and the texture is on point. I will be back for touch ups, toner, and more extensions of course :) I couldn't have been happier with my hair and the condition that it's in. If you are looking for your dream hair style, color, texture, go to Anjelika, she will make it happen! read more

Omg!! DACIA!! go to Dacia she is absolutely AMAZING. I walked outta the salon in such a great mood because of how happy her and her haircut made me. I'm still on a happy hair high!! She cut off 8+ inches for me and not gonna lie I was nervous walking in there because I've gotten a short haircut before from long hair and it was not the best experience but Dacia made me trust her by explaining what works best for my type of hair before doing anything and making sure I was ok with it. She is such an easy person to talk to and genuinely sweet. The massage that comes with the cut was also great! If you are skeptical of who to go to at umbrella salon go with Dacia and you will not be disappointed. The salon itself is gorgeous and huge too. Thank you again Dacia you're the best! read more

I'm a new customer to Umbrella after having horrible experiences at my past salons. I decided to spent a little extra for quality over quantity in hair color and cuts. My first session was with Danielle and she gave me a color correction as well as fixed my choppy layered hair. This was my first experience getting a blow out and it was Fabulous! She is a good at listening and suggested the right look for me. She is awesome and will pick the best color for your hair! My second session were balayage highlights and I went from brown to ash blonde! She gave me silver pieces as well as ash brown and blonde to give a multidimensional summer blonde look. I was surprised not to have any brass. I'm officially hooked and highly recommend Danielle for the best color and highlights!! She is a miracle worker and can achieve what may seem impossible to your hair! read more

I used to go here to get a hair cut years ago when I lived in downtown, I just went back toady and had my hair cut by Jacob. OMG, he's amazing. I have very long hair and he cut & styled it beautifully. I hardly gave any instructions, he just naturally knew what to do. Worth every penny! read more

The folks here know what they're doing. They have fun with their work, and get creative when they're allowed. I went in on Tuesday during their styling class, and got a reduced-price haircut (I worked at the Starbucks next door, and they always hit us up for new models). What I came out with was an AMAZING cut, that made me feel the sexiest I've ever felt. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was two things: 1) the price is up-there and makes it hard to get a fabulous cut often, and 2) I made an appointment for my fiance (at the time) and I to get hair-cuts a week before our wedding in another city; however, the girl cutting our hair (although I love her to death) was nauseous and faint, making it impossible for her to cut my now-husband's hair- that left us having to scramble to find another hair stylist to do his hair, causing us a lot of stress. Overall, they are awesome and cute. :) read more

I've consistently enjoyed my experience at Umbrella Salon and it's why I always feel confident working with someone new. My most recent visit was no different. I had the pleasure of seeing Aubrea for the first time, and I was treated to another excellent hair care experience. It had been some time since I'd seen a stylist thanks to our pandemic times, and my hair was in need of TLC. Aubrea listened to my needs and did quick work bringing my style to life. She was easy to communicate with and I am so pleased with the results. I feel refreshed and refined, and was thankful to have had her oversee me. The only reason I'd hesitate to recommend her is so I can keep her to myself! I can't wait to go back for another session, and in the meantime I'll enjoy my sparkly new do. read more

Fantastic salon! But, way too far out of my price range, unfortunately :( Cool perks, like glass of wine while you wait, dressing room for you to put on that gown that keeps hair from going down your shirt, and very nice head/neck massage. Only think that kept this place from getting the 5th star was the price. I have pixie cut hair and need it cut every 4-5 weeks. At 70 bucks a pop, I can't afford to get it done there. If you can, I would definitely recommend it! read more

It was my first time here at Umbrella. I was recommended by my friend. My hair stylist was Jade. he did a great job!!! I should have change my hair style, but I am too afraid to. so i stick with the A line bob. I think that hair style fit my face since I have round face. Service: very great. he listened to my request and gave me tips of how to maintain it and make my bob stands out. he really put his time on it and make sure everything look great and even. i walked out feeling very fresh and nice. Love it. I will continue coming back here. read more

I am going to Umbrella now for 2 years and get a men's haircut from Jan-Michel. He does an excellent job and is fun to talk to. The front desk staff is very friendly, and if you are in a pinch and their online reservation system doesn't have a spot for you, try calling them. If there is a way to accommodate you, they will. And if you don't know, it you are parking in the city's garage you will have free parking with their parking voucher. read more

Update: my hair was done at 11:30 AM.. it was curled and I danced the night away until 1 AM and it still looked great!! Okay.. so I was staying in San Jose for a wedding and my blow dryer shot out.. in a panic I didn't know what to do or where to go! I found Umbrella on yelp and was blessed to have Aubrea do my hair! She was so sweet and nice! My hair looked amazing and held all night. It slowly fell but stayed with nice curls! Thank you for being my life saver in a time crunch! read more

My usual hair stylist at another salon had to reschedule my appointment despite my having waited for nearly 6 months. In a panic, I looked up other salons in the area. I found that Hunter had an opening at Umbrella Salon the very next day. After reviewing his beautiful hair photos on Instagram, I decided to take a chance and book with him. Best decision ever! Hunter did such a fantastic job on my color (balyage) and cut. I feel amazing! I went on a trip days after he saw me and I received so many compliments on my color. Hunter is a hidden gem in San Jose. He recently moved here from another state and is building up his client list again. At the time I booked my appointment, I assumed that his open schedule meant that he was newer in his field... but I was definitely (happily) mistaken! Hunter is a skilled artist. He's also a treat to be around... so friendly and funny! I had a wonderful appointment. read more

The last time I highlighted my hair was in '04 or '05. Since it turned out to be a complete disaster, I was intensely nervous coming into Umbrella for the first time AND attempting to try highlights again. I made a last minute appointment on a Saturday morning and had the option of picking Jade or [ ? ] as my stylist. I crossed my fingers and chose Jade after quickly reading Nava S.'s detailed review. Thank goodness for Yelp -- because I walked out of Umbrella feeling 100% satisfied. *** What I asked for: (1) Color base touch-up (a darker brown shade to cover the multiple shades of leftover brown/orange/red dye & 3" black roots - gross!) (2) Partial highlights (to look like jLo's "caramel" hair, but not as drastic: http://www.boston.com/ae/music/blog/jennifer-lopez-1.JPG) (3) Bangs trim TOTAL = $160 (pre-tip) As excessively agitating and apprehensive I was (with my hundreds of questions & concerns), Jade was a sweetheart throughout my entire 5-hour-long visit! He took the time to tell me what would best for my already-damaged hair, provided color recommendations, and explained exactly what he was going to use/do next to my hair. Although I now feel that I can't pass wearing this new jLo/"caramel" hairdo, Jade transformed my hair into exactly what I asked for. I am definitely coming back to see him again -- but I may be going darker the second time around :) (See pic from my 'local photos' section) read more

I'm not sure why, but I have such a hard time finding new hair stylists. I moved to San Jose 5 years ago and I continued to drive either up to Walnut Creek or down to LA (yes... Los Angeles) to see stylists I've been going to for over a decade. It was time to give in and just do it! I've heard multiple people talk about this salon. TBH there's nothing extra special about the facility. It's hip looking and there are a ton of chairs and it's in a good spot right near the big parking structure on the other side of San Pedro Square (yes - they validate!) What I think sets them apart is their great stylists. I got a recommendation from a coworker to go see Adrian. As a first time mom of a then 4 month old, I did the super impulsive mom thing and decided to chop off my hair. Pixie short! Adrian was amazing and walked me through the transformation from consultation to instagram photos. She looked at my inspo pics, made recs based on my hair type and face shape, and taught me step by step how to style it. I'm super happy with my experience and glad I found a new salon and stylist on my first go around! read more

When I go to Umbrella it's like being behind the scenes at a fashion show. I can feel the creativity in the air. This salon actually offers a warm greeting, they make sure I'm comfortable and have something good to drink and read. I like the products my stylist uses and my hair looks better than any other salon I've ever been to. The shampoo area is relaxing and they spend time to help me get mellow during my shampoo with a really good massage, great way to start. Free parking and fun to be there. Looks like everybody that works their loves it. I always look forward to my appointments at Umbrella. read more
