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 don't think I will come back, even though the location is so convenient for me. I arrived at…read more8:56am to a 9:00am appointment, and the receptionist greets me with "you're early to your appointment, take a seat and your stylist will arrive soon". I mentioned I had to leave by 10am and didn't want to have my service rushed. At 9:07am my stylist comes out from behind a curtain in the back and proceeds to wash my hair. The wash wasn't thorough, there was no scalp massage or anything, it was just a quick, superficial (top layer of hair) wash with extra-long nails that felt so weird on my scalp (the extra long nails). I feel like I will need to wash my hair again very soon so that my scalp is actually clean (which defeats the purpose of a professional blow out that you'd like to last for a few days). Then the blowout itself was a quick 25 minute blowout (I have a lot of hair and long) that looks nice, but doesn't look special or professional. I was glad I brought my own brush because the one that was there looked like it had seen better days. What is the point of going to a salon that specializes in blowouts then? The vibe of all the staff members I saw this morning was unwelcoming, like they were unhappy to work there.

I found Crystal through Yelp and actually booked her for my mother of the groom makeup session…read more Crystal was quick to respond and I was looking forward to working with her. Unfortunately, I had to cancel our session as my son surprised me with a makeup session that his bride to be had arranged. I contacted Crystal and she was so sweet and understanding and even gave me back my deposit. I certainly look forward to working with her in the near future. I highly recommend her based on our text exchanges and her professionalism. Thanks so much, Crystal.

I love the way I looked when Stacie did my makeup for my '30' year high school reunion. She took…read moreten years off my age. I am NOT just saying this.

THANK YOU, Stacie!

Summary: I am so lucky that my mother found Stacie for my wedding!…read more Here is why: 1) Technically, Stacie did an AMAZING job! My make-up, and the make-up of my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law looked absolutely perfect: everyone looked beautiful and special without being too 'done up' and 'wedding-y.' She has true vision: she was able to take what we asked for and make it even better than we could have imagined. The hairstylist she brought with her (Jo) was also perfect! 2) The make-up and hair looked good ALL NIGHT!! I even looked good at the hotel bar AFTER the wedding! 3) Stacie was able to adapt to changing circumstances. Technical skills are great, but if you can't get the job done in time, it is for naught. Stacie and Jo arrived at the hotel over 30 minutes early (because they know how important the big day is, and they didn't want to be late if they got lost) and they got started right away. Timing wise, they had planned everything perfectly. However, there were some bumps in the road from my wedding party on the big day: one person who had adamantly said that she did not want make-up decided that she did indeed want make-up, and then numerous people showed up with wet hair. Not only did they STILL manage to get everyone done on time, both Stacie and Jo were such good sports about the whole thing. 4) The pricing was extremely fair: if anything, it was a bit of a steal given how great of a job they did and how wonderful they were to work with. 5) Stacie (and Jo) are just lovely women. Before meeting them, I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of having to do a trial hair and make-up run, but I actually had SO MUCH FUN with them!! And having them around when we were getting ready for the wedding just made everything better: they were just lots of fun and put everyone at ease. EVERYONE in the bridal party commented about how much they loved Stacie and Jo. I have had my hair and make-up done before, but I have never had such a good experience. Not only did my hair and make-up look better than they ever had before, but I had so much fun with the process because Stacie and Jo are so great! Book Stacie: you won't regret it!!

I researched many places that offer toppers and wigs after recently going through chemotherapy and…read morelosing a significant amount of hair around my crown area. I was looking not only for high quality hair pieces, but also kindness, honesty, and good customer service during a very vulnerable time. I contacted several businesses and unfortunately found some experiences disappointing. A few places were extremely expensive, while others felt somewhat judgmental or dismissive before even seeing me in person. Some were quick to assume I may not even be a topper candidate without offering a proper consultation, which was honestly upsetting during an already emotional process. Then I found Munjal, and the experience was completely different from the beginning. She was easy to book with, offered a free consultation, and immediately made me feel comfortable and encouraged. She carefully assessed my hair and scalp coverage in person and reassured me that I was a good candidate for a silk-base topper. I truly could not be happier with the result. We tried the topper on during the consultation and I purchased it on the spot because it looked so natural and gave me back a sense of confidence I had really been missing. I recently went back for the fitting appointment, where she customized everything beautifully -- framing my face with a cut and trim, and even offering complimentary highlighting and styling/curling of the topper. The final result blended so naturally with my existing hair that it is practically unnoticeable. Beyond the quality of her work, Munjal herself is incredibly sweet, calm, patient, and understanding. She has such a gentle and reassuring energy, which honestly means so much when you are navigating hair loss from cancer treatment. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a topper or hair loss support experience that feels compassionate, professional, and personalized.
