    Most recent cut and color.

    I've been going to William for over 20 years and Elisa for the past two, and I can say without hesitation that trusting them with my hair has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have unforgiving, baby-fine hair--the kind that shows every cut line, every mistake, and every imbalance. On top of that, I have cowlicks that are genuinely unmanageable without a highly skilled stylist. My hair requires precision, restraint, and a deep understanding of structure in order to look effortless and feel right. William has mastered that for me and, over the years, has created and maintained what has truly become my signature look. In those 20 years, I've gone everywhere from platinum blonde to (most recently) drop dead red, and every transition has been thoughtful, intentional, and flawlessly executed. With Elisa's color work especially, my hair always looks dimensional, healthy, and exactly right for me--not trendy for the sake of trend, but personal and elevated. I am often stopped by strangers offering unsolicited compliments on my hair, which says everything. I've been to other salons out of necessity, and learned my lessons the hard way. Which is why I trust my look completely to William and Elisa. They are top tier, and that level of confidence for me - is rare, and when it comes to William and Elisa, it's earned. If you have difficult hair, high standards, or simply want to feel like your best, most polished self, you won't find better hands.

    To get back to my 2009-2011 hair style, I have my bits and pieces all over the place! I love it so much. Christopher is my favorite.

    To get back to my 2009-2011 hair styles that I love so much, I have my dear Christopher. He gave me my bits and pieces all over the place! I love it so much. Christopher is my favorite. I would follow him wherever he would go.

    W's Salon is in Santana Row off of Olin. The salon has been here since the very opening of Santana Row (pre-fire!) and has only expanded in size since then. The salon was spacious, clean, and modern. Everyone was very nice and conversation was great. There is a parking garage entrance right next to W's Finding a stylist who gets what I like and is excited to get his hands on my hair is like hitting the jackpot. And I definitely hit it finding Christopher. I gave him an idea of what I was looking for but I wanted to allow him the creativity to do what he thought would look great. And he totally nailed it! I feel completely revived and beautiful. So thank you Christopher. Can't wait for our next appt!!

    Been going to this salon for my hair for 4+ years now and absolutely love it! What are the things you look for in a hair salon? For me #1 is the expertise and experience of the hair stylist, cleanliness, quality of products, and overall customer service. And I would give W's salon a 5 out of 5 on all those attributes. Everyone is friendly...easy to talk to. The salon itself is clean, trendy, well organized. Love the Kerastase line of products they use. The location although not among the primary criteria for me - is perfect...right in the heart of Santana Row. Parking is smooth ...quite a few parking options at walking distance from the salon. Ok, now let's talk about my stylist ANHEL she is super amazing...love her! She asks great questions and takes the time to understand what I am looking for and also offers suggestions based on the latest trends etc. She explains step by step all the products that she is using on my hair and why she is using them...the function of each. She does a great job with my haircut and highlights...she is super talented. I have never been disappointed. Always leave feeling happy and fully satisfied!! After trying quite a few salons in the Bay Area, I am so glad I finally found the one that I like so much. Thanks W's salon and thanks Anhel!!!

    The salon has reopened indoors with all of the precocious possible: plexiglass at the check in, temperature measuring, staff wears gloves/masks/face shieds, there a physical "walls" between each station, air purifiers going, and they even offer masks to clients so their masks won't get wet/dirty during the session. This salon does everything right to make you feel safe. Great job, William!

    Post hair color and cut with Anhel.

    Disappointed that you removed my question that was about your salon. I saw Marc at your salon a few years ago, other people have reviewed him, and I asked if he was still there or moved -- similar to the above question. Would appreciate an answer?

    He moved to London and is now living in Colorado.

    Where did Paul move to? I am an old custom of his and I would like to know where he is working

I started going to Simple Hair in 2014 for Japanese hair straightening, and I've been going back every year since. As I've gotten older and started getting more gray hair, they also help with touching up my roots too and I continue to trust them every time! What really stands out to me is their consistency. After all these years, they are just as professional as they were when I first started going. They're always on time, their standards have remained high, and the quality of their work has never gotten sloppy or gone downhill. That says a lot about a business, especially after 12 years. V and Bella are both amazing. They're knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely know what they're doing. There's a reason I've stayed with Simple Hair for so many years.

    After my bestie had been going to esther for 7 years i jumped on the curly hair bandwagon last year…read moreand here i am for perm #2. the last year has been fun styling the first perm she gave and i loved it as it grew in and i even got two trims throughout the year. i love that my hair is allowed to have digital perm (hair-health wise) & it doesn't smell bad! after my appointment i came straight to work and this is the shot after esther styled it! in the after care i'll avoid getting it wet for 2 days and the hardest part is not touching it! but i flip my hair so i'll just try to keep it in ringlet twirls as much as possible! one thing different from my first perm was that my hair was much longer prior to this appt today, and still it sprang up! it's still long so i'm glad i grew it, and looking forward to styling this do once the 48 hr no wash time passes! highly recommend esther even with her wait list!! you can upkeep with deep conditioning your hair while looking forward to the appt (like i did!) the 3 hour appt was enjoyable, she is personable and so knowledgeable, in fact the appt was over earlier than i expected, a total timely professional! thank you esther!

He even styled it in different ways, both blown out and curled, so I could see how versatile the cut was. Response Time: Quick turnaround.

He'll also be honest if a certain idea may not turn out the way you envision it, which I really appreciate. Feeling like a Pinterest model. My next appointment is already booked!
