    Cute place

    *** Eyelash Extensions Review for Claudia *** A Groupon got me in to test out the eyelash extensions at this Salon. I bought the full eye extension and 1 refill. I'll talk about each session I experienced. ----Full Set Experience My BFF made the appointment for us, what she forgot to disclose is that there's only 1 gal (Claudia), that took us in one at a time. Each person can take up to 2 hours long, which meant both of us had to wait that length of time for each other. Talk about a long long day! But good thing Zolf had free WiFi for my iPhone, so, I was able to catch up on 1.5 episodes of Gilmore Girls on Netflix. Once you go into a tiny closet-sized room at the back of the salon, Claudia asked to remove my shoes and hop onto the bed. She tucks you into the softest mink-fleece blanket and asks if your comfy. After putting patches under my eyes, she starts gluing eyelash extensions on top of my short lashes. There's no pain but occasionally, it tickles. And for some reason, my nose got itchy during my session. I dosed off and started drooling a little! But mid-way through, I was done napping and started blabbing my mouth off with gossip. Once she pulled off the eye patches, I slowly peeled my eyes open (It was a little stuck due to some glue). She handed me the mirror... DAMNNN! HOT GIRL ALERT! I was so worried I would end up looking like a drag queen but it was still me - just better!! Jenny 2.0. I loved them! I mean, I really loved them. The lashes felt natural. They were longer, lusher, curled and gave me a bit of va-va-voom but not over the top voom. And best of all, I don't need to put on any eye makeup. ---Refill Experience Exactly 2-weeks later, I still had Claudia's lashes on me! I even had a bad cold for 3-days and thought I would sneeze all the lashes off but those bad boys stuck on me like glue... literally. Once again, Claudia tucked me into a warm fuzzy blanket and put patches under my eyes. The refill was a lot faster and took less than 1 hour to finish. Claudia had to detangle a few lashes on both eyes, which gave a 'pinch' effects and made me tear up slightly. After my session was over, she handed me the mirror and once again, va-va-voom! The refill is just as fabulous! Really really gorgeous. I can't believe she can do this all day long because you have to be precise, meticulous and have steady hands. I gotta give big kudos to her - she's great at her craft, she's sweet, and really really nice. The lashes are so long, that your sunglasses will be the only time you'll notice that they are longer. And they feel natural when you blink! NOTES - Lash care: No oil based products can be used around your eyes. Try to keep water off the lashes. Need to remember not to rub your eyeballs! Must brush them at least 2x's daily. Strangers will stare into your eyes or say hi to you for no reason. Long lashes have magical powers. Full lashes done on 1/30/2016, the last 2 lashes are on my eyeballs as of 2/3/2017.

    After unsuccessfully booking appointments at other hair salons, I found Zolf - and their customer service is AMAZING! They really went out of their way to make an extra appointment slot to work with my schedule, and my hair results turned out way better than I could have ever imagined. Needless to say, I booked another appointment with Zolf hair stylist, Sofia, because she is a hair coloring wiz. No matter what hair color/cut idea I give her, she nails it every time. SO GOOD!

    Afsaneh at Zolf Salon is by far one of the best hair stylists in east bay. She helped remove all of the brass in my hair and she did an excellent job getting my hair color and cut just the way I wanted it. If you want to see anyone at Zolf you should definitely make an appointment with Afsaneh!!

    Gorgeous cut. Makes my teen look and feel great.

    If you ever want a true professional cutting your hair, then go see Tanya. She is the best. Stupid me for staying in my area for a cut, when I should just drive here and get exactly what I want. Tanya is soo awesome, caring, listens to what you want AND DOESN'T ABUSE YOU! Trend Hair Styling in Union City not only destroyed my youngest's hair and they also left broken blood vessels on her neck, which I will be filing a police report. Tanya at Zolf made sure that my daughter had a wonderful and caring experience. There was no yelling, no saying that she and her curly hair are ugly, like at Trend Hair Styling. I really appreciate that. If I could give Tanya 1000 stars, I would. Time and time again, Tanya goes above and beyond to make sure my kids and I look awesome! Again, if you want a really good hair stylist that can cut natural curly and also Asian hair, this is the place. If you're worried about the drive from East Bay, then just enjoy your time out with a great haircut and great food in the area.

    Tanya and Anjila are a Godsend! I'm actually visiting town for the holidays, and I was in DESPERATE need to get a haircut, so I made a brave decision to book an appointment with a salon I didn't know. I actually went off of Yelp reviews, and I'm so so glad I did! I saw that I could book an appointment online hassle free, and everything worked out very smoothly. There were actually two people who teamed up to do my hair. Anjila was in charge of my cut. She's actually the owner of the salon, and so sweet. It's clear that she cares about each client that walks in, as well as her entire staff. She gave great suggestions for my hair bc I had no idea what I really wanted. She told me exactly what she was doing as she was cutting it. I ended up with more refined layers that really flatters my face while keeping the length I wanted. I was then passed on to Tanya, who was a DREAM to work with!! I wanted to change my color and add more dimension, so the consensus was highlights. I've never gotten a full highlight before, but I wanted to stay with dark hair and not do anything super dramatic. Tanya was able to achieve perfect caramel tones to compliment my dark hair, and I'm literally obsessed with the color. I told her I'm horrible with hair maintenance, and she blended the highlights in a way that will look great as my hair grows out. If you're looking for bomb color, TANYA is your girl!! I actually went out with friends after my appointment and got so many compliements. Anjila, Tanya, and the rest of the team at Zolf salon will take care of your hair needs. Looks like I'll have to visit my parents every time I need my hair done ;) Thank you!!

    Don't mind the messy kitchen- just check out my flawless cut after a full day of me messing it all up!

    If you haven't been to see Angela yet, you're missing out! I was lucky to find her again after I moved around the country for a few years. She did my hair years ago when I was fun and daring and had two toned hair (it was the 00s!) and a funky cut. She was amazing then and she's even better now. She cuts my stacked mom-bob like nobody's business and attends to every detail. She makes it look COOL. She rocks with color, too. She's done a million things with color for me but what I love is that no matter what I ask for, she finds a way to do it. And I MAY have a touch of the crazies when if comes to changing my hair color. Love that flexibility AND talent. Personally, she's lively- funny and chatty, but also know when to lay low of you want to chill. Zolf salon- I likey. I followed Angela here from her previous salon and Zolf is perfect. Good sized with it being over crowded, and everyone who I've seen there is friendly. They even charged my phone for me once, and they always offer coffee, tea, or water when I arrive. Best part? Super reasonable cost. I am willing to pay the big bucks for awesome hair, but I love when I can pay what feels good, too. Hey, means I can tip more!

    Anjila worked a miracle on my dead, limp, damaged hair today.. Got a cut and gloss treatment
    Minnie U.

    So I walked into this place on a whim, and I'm so glad I did! Anjila did my hair and she was amazing! I got a cut and a gloss treatment, and my hair feels amazing. Anjila explained everything about proper hair care, and explained my hair type and texture, and what colours work best with my tone, and features. She's very knowledgable and such a sweet, and gorgeous woman! I love what she did to my hair, and her interaction she had with me. I appreciate that she took her time, despite me being a walk-in. I definitely found "my" salon

    Gorgeous  half-updo and beautiful hair color!

    I received a hair treatment with Melanie as a gift from my mom for my upcoming wedding. Throughout…read moremy life, I was always frustrated with trying to manage my thick, wavy, and frizzy hair, so often cut it short or had to spend extra time straightening it. I went through different treatments and products, and nothing ever lasted long. I did not previously know about Melanie's "hair botox" treatment and it was so interesting to hear about her journey and passion for her craft. Throughout the ~5+ hour process, Melanie was a joy to talk to and she truly cared about making sure my hair turned out right. She took great care in treating and straightening every strand. About a month later, I am still getting compliments on my straight, shiny, and healthy-looking hair. I highly recommend Melanie and look forward to returning in the future.

I have extremely finicky hair--frizzy beyond belief, super fine and stubborn, etc. I've spent years getting Japanese straigtening to tame the beast, resulting in a lot of breakage. I heard about Melanie years ago but was hesitant to go to her because of the cost and proximity. Just a few visits later, I wish I would have gone to her sooner! Melanie truly cares about each client and that shows in her approach. She doesn't sugar coat anything, she is realistic, she doesn't upsell or just try to get you out the door. On my first appointment, she spent an hour and a half evaluating my hair, going through practically each strand, asking questions from hair history to wash routine to stuff I barely even think about. (For the record, I have young kids with special needs and the level of thoroughness she had would be equal to their therapists!) She was honest with what she felt comfortable doing and why, and refrained from doing certain treatments on my hair even though she could have gotten more money. Later, when my hair started to grow out, she did a smoothing treatment that tamed my frizz, left my hair undamaged but shiny and manageable! I've done hair treatments enough to know when someone is just trying to get me out the door vs someone who cares, and Melanie falls into the second category. She also took time to share tips on my hair and how to style it. Are her prices higher? Yes. Are there stylists closer to where I live? Also yes. Is she worth it? Absolutely. She has clients who drive from Sacramento to see her, and it's clear to see why. Melanie is an absolute gem!

    This review is for Libby…read more I've been seeing Libby for over two years and actually travel back to the Bay Area just to have my hair done by her - that's how good she is. She's a true color magician. She helped me transition through the awkward grey stage at exactly the right time, and later brought me back to light brown in a way that blends beautifully with my fast-growing greys and grows out naturally without constant upkeep. The moment I knew I could fully trust her was when she gave me a short haircut, something I'm usually very hesitant about and absolutely nailed it. Finding a stylist who is genuinely excellent at both color and cutting is surprisingly rare, and Libby is both. She listens carefully, understands the science behind how color and texture behave, and designs styles that actually look great as they grow out not just the day you leave the chair. She's also warm, funny, and incredibly easy to be around. Even my husband, who normally avoids hair maintenance altogether, got a cut from her and loved it. If you care about grey transition, natural grow-out, or just want low-maintenance hair that still looks polished, Libby is the one.

Anyways, the place itself is pretty convenient since it's located by the freeway. The place is surprisingly pretty big and spacious and my mom's hairdresser is always patient and polite. I will admit probably for my mom's next visit I'll have to stick around a tad longer and help my mom and her hairdresser when my mom gets her hair washed. So not everything there is I guess ADA available, but it's a minor thing for now since my mom has very limited mobility but can move with some assistance. As for the hairstyle, mom is always happy and I personally think makes her feel as normal as she can get these days and being content let alone having another outside interaction besides with me is always a good thing!

    Tried to cut this review short, but here is my essay . TLDR, these are notes for you to consider…read morebefore visiting, I highly recommend coming here, so book an appointment, show Aki the hair you want, sit down, and relax with a book or doom-scroll on your phone. Before getting a cut at Aki's though, here are some notes to help make your visit easier and more enjoyable: 1. Aki is trilingual, fluent in Japanese, Mandarin, and English. She was trained on her craft in Japan. 2. Focus Aki is very focused at her work. She will chat and have conversations with you, but you would have to initiate. That being said, if you are the quiet type or just not want to have to talk to anyone, you'll be fine. 3. Vibe If you replaced the Tiffany teal walls of her studio with wood, you would be in a cozy Ghibli cottage. It's like walking into someone's cozy corner. Spa music is usually playing so it's more of a relaxing feeling. Aki goes straight to the chase, so no dillydallying here. 4. Have reference photo(s) Aki will cut your hair, to the best of her ability, to look just like the photo you have provided. She will take a photo of the haircut you want, and keep it on the table for her to refer to. That being said, know that she may use different methods of cutting (and styling) you are not used to as she was trained in Japan. 5. Hairwashing Aki dry cuts directly, so if you want your hair cut with freshly washed hair, wash and dry your hair before going. Not a requirement, this is only if you really want to. But since Aki does not wash hair before the cutting, she is able to spend more time in the cutting and styling process, which has been worth it every time for me. 6. Name any hair concerns Love a hairstyle but you don't know if you have enough hair for it? Losing hair but want a short cut with volume? Bangs too short for a haircut with longer bangs? Reference photo has a person with different hair type than yours and so you don't know if you can pull it off? TELL AKI. All my haircuts have been successful with her because I have told/asked her things like.. "My hair is really flat on top but I want volume like in the [reference] photo...but I am also a busy mom so I need low/no maintenance." "The girl in the reference photo has a different hair type than mine, would I still be able to get my hair cut to look like this?" "I like this [reference] hairstyle, but I don't want to have to style it every day. If I get this cut, would it still look good without styling?" "I part my hair on different sides depending on how I feel, would I still be able to do that with the new haircut?" "Can I style this cut without using product?" "I have a bunch of baby hairs growing out, can you help blend them into the haircut?" The pricing for a haircut with her is more than reasonable, and she has always put in her 100% every time. Thanks Aki!!! *Aki also mentioned to me that for some reason, some of the reviews are being hidden by Yelp, this reducing the star and review counts. Not sure if that is on Yelp or users, so please post your support if you don't see your review up!

    MY REVIEW HAS BEEN DELETED 4 TIMES ILLEGALLY. I put in a formal complaint with the Board Of…read moreBarbering and Cosmetology in California. Her customer service, overall knowledge/decision making and the fact that she cannot properly understand or communicate with clients is a liability. She is going to injure others by blocking me from putting my experience out there. Worst haircut experience of my life. So traumatic, she insulted me and injured me and refuses to fix it. I had a spinal procedure this year and sitting for hours at a time is hard and she did not give a break once in the 6 hour service. I tried telling Aki multiple times repeatedly that i was in pain that my spine hurt severely but she just ignored me and told me to keep the chair steady. the fact that she cannot understand all clients is a liability. She burned my entire scalp and then doused me in vinegar after pleading for her help telling her if was burning me severely. She doused me a second time at the end again and her husband Nico who was there in the end tried to also articulate to her that I was saying the vinegar hurt badly. Even after understanding Nico she doused me and said "no it won't but Now" even though it certainly did. she injured me and she will injure others. thank god a gentleman walked into the suite towards the end of the service and was able to translate some of what i was saying. at one point she even said "this is why i dont do hair straightening, because these girls get too tired and cant sit" and thank god the guy was there he told her "Aki she is telling you her spine hurts" my neck is in pain from her deciding to use three bottles of product in my hair and formed it into a huge knot. she told me my hair was "too long to wash in her sink" and that she would have to cut through the knot even though the knot was there due to her negligence. i was in tears 4 out of the 6 hours and in terrible pain. all the while she just kept insulting me telling me how she would never ever to hair straightening again and she regretted doing my hair. horrible customer service and down right but not a nice woman whatsoever. i did not know just how cruel she was until i texted her the following day and told her that my entire scalp is scabbed, all of my roots are fried, my ear is burned and that i tried telling her during the appointment i was in pain but she could not understand me. IMMEDIATELY she went on the attack and told me that her husband is an attorney, i must be hurting for money, and threatened that i would be the one owing them money... see photos. thanks to aki I had the worst mothers day, my hair is ruined and i will be needing medical treatment as well as hair treatments. My scalp feels rock hard, sore, scabbed. My ear is in pain still and every inch of my roots are fried. My entire scalp.

    Updating my review after the owner replied with lies! If a business ghosts you and tell lies,…read morethat's a big RED FLAG! I did not apply box dye to my hair after keratin. I dyed my hair on 5/6 and asked on Yelp on 5/8 and got my treatment on 5/21. I can't believe she has the audacity to reply my reviews with lies like this. I will include pics of my Yelp project as well as her reply! I caution everyone to stay away from this shady business. Original review: I was looking around for a keratin treatment in the area and narrowed down to this salon. I did my research and looked at every reviews especially the negative ones. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and boy was I wrong! I've done these keratin treatments 3 times before at 2 different salons. Every time, the results came out great! Since those salons were no longer in business, I had to look for a new place. Jane needed a consultation before the treatment so I went in on 5/13. It was a quick 5 min consultation and confirmed that I was doing the regular keratin, made an appt for the week after. She said she prefers cash and the treatment was $380. Went back to get my treatment done on 5/21. As some of the reviews said, she is not the friendly type who would chit-chat with you which I didn't mind. She did answer my questions when I asked. But yes, "with an attitude and general unfriendliness" - quoting one of the reviews. I asked her if I would be getting my hair trimmed, (as I had always got it at different salons when getting these treatment.) She said "your hair is not straight. after this treatment, you need to get a haircut!" I was confused and thought that haircut is included . Then I asked her "will you trim it? " she said "ok, I will give you a haircut after the treatment" So after the treatment, she gave me a haircut which was 15 min at most. Then she said "usually I charged $80 for a haircut, but with treatment. I will charge you $70!" she didn't say anything about the extra cost for the haircut, let alone, $70 extra!!!! She should have said that before giving me a haircut and asked me if it's ok!!! I was not happy about it but i didn't confront her, I let it go and still paid her...cash! The whole thing took a little over 2hrs, not 3.5 hrs as she lied. 2 days after, I washed my hair as told by her with the recommended shampoo! And my hair was still very curly and frizzy! I texted her, and she told me to go back to her salon and get checked by her. I went in the following week and the first thing she said was "So what did you do?" I was shocked. I did nothing. I only did what she told me to do, not wash my hair for 2 days! Then she said "I have done this for 10 yrs and you are my first complaint!" I was like "so do you think this is ok??? " this is not a complaint, it's a problem. She blamed it on the conditioner I used, even though I showed her a pic of my conditioner during the treatment and she did say the conditioner didn't matter. She blamed it on my hair type saying my hair was curly and frizzy. She said some ppl might need to do it 2 times. But if she is so experienced, she should have known during our consultation! I showed her pics of how my hair turned out great after keratin treatment before and she said "other ppl use formaldehyde and I don't " I said the most recent one I got was without formaldehyde and still worked on my hair! At the end, she said she will do it again for me but in 1.5 hr. I confirmed with her that there is no fee cause I didn't want any surprises! In the follow up appointment, she came in late and there were No apologies whatsoever!! I read a review saying how someone was late and she took it seriously! But when she is late, she acts like nothing!! At that point, I know that she does not hold responsible for the things she does wrong, as simple as being late. The treatment was actually only 1 hr, not 1.5 as she lied. When she finished, she said " this is all I can do ". And yes, her attitude has been "doing you the biggest favor in the world even though you are paying her" quoting from one of the reviews. 2 days after the treatment, I washed my hair with the recommended shampoo AND conditioner this time. It's still frizzy, dry-looking and curlier than before. Obviously the treatment didn't work! It's not giving the result that it claimed and definitely not what I wanted. I texted her, she didn't respond, 2 days later, I texted again. Nothing. I then called and realized she BLOCKED me! Yes, just as one of the reviews mentioned, she blocks you when you did nothing wrong! So yes, I got SCAMMED! I hated writing bad reviews. I wanted to support small businesses and was hoping to find a place I can go for my hair. but in return, I lost $450 (treatment plus haircut). I wish I trusted the negative reviews on this business. I am writing all this in hope that no one will get scammed like me!

    I went here 3 times already and always forgot to leave a review! Jane is my go-to for a year now,…read moreand I always have a root perm, a layer cut and curtain bangs with her. Her salon is in the left hallway, all the way to the end of a bunch of other salons. Her place is clean, and she is always attentive to her customer. She does haircut, color, ombre, balayage, hair treatment etc. You can book by phone number or on her website or on Yelp. The perm I had with her is always gentle, pain free, and stays for months! Trust me if you want to get treated by an Asian hair expert, she is the one to go to! She knows her customer hair condition, propose treatment and have nice little details for you. On top of this her price is reasonable, I totally recommend! You will love it!

I went in on Friday for a cut and color and left wanting to already come back for the hair extensions and possible ombre. Her work is AMAZING and I recommend her to anyone. In fact, I have some girlfriends from Sac I literally raved to about her and they want to do a road trip and get a new look. A+ on diversity of services. The salon is adorbs. The staff is so sweet and hospitable. Thank you Melissa, you are my new go to!

I just love Melissa! She knows what she's doing. Whether it's color or cut, she's a true artist. She's also not a bullshitter. She's not going to tell you something will look good, if she doesn't think it will. She tells it as it is. She also does spray tans as well, which is great before a trip! She's also very funny and easy to chat with and very patient! So now Melissa has become our family hair stylist. Both of my daughters go to her and they love it! My 7 year old feels so adult when she's there.My mom also goes to Melissa now too and feels that for the first time in 3 years she loves the way her hair looks! 2 thumbs up for Melissa! I'm so glad my friend recommended her. She's really wonderful!
