Mercedes is a God send! It had been over a year that I had my long har cut. It was time and from the moment I sat down in her chair it was the best experience. Mercedes listened. She gave me the most incredible hair cut and she colored my grey roots with the perfect color. Rarely does a colorist get my color right and she got it perfect. could not be happier. I highly recommend Mercedes for color and cuts!
Had a haircut with Nick and he was incredible! Very professionally yet super down to earth and fun to talk with... Not to mention I'm obsessed with my new haircut. The space is also beautiful, with plants going up to the ceiling and a very clean workspace; not to mention the surrounding area is just gorgeous. And I have never been so comfortable while getting my hair washed. He has these cool seats with a headrest that you could fall asleep in. 10/10 highly recommend.
My daughter and I both got the best haircuts we’ve ever had with Mercedes! She has such an artist gift for knowing what looks great on each of us, and she always styles our hair beautifully. Her blowouts are Absolute perfection! We both leave her chair feeling confident, happy, and so well taken care of. I can’t recommend her enough—a true 10/10!
If you want exceptional hair you need to see Verra.. She is the best colorist I’ve ever had. She also does Brazilian Keratin treatments. I’ve never had so many compliments on my hair before. People can’t believe it’s not my natural color.
Verra is exceptional! Over many decades I have had various blonde specialists work on my hair. Verra, hands down, gave me the most beautiful blonde highlights I have ever received!! Plus a perfect haircut - preserving length but shaping beautifully!
I was so pleased to find her! She is a true artist that really cares about her craft & can deliver. She easily, kindly & thoughtfully assessed the state of my hair, my coloring, etc and executed a drop dead gorgeous result! She is so skilled! It really was phenomenal service from start to finish. Plus she is such a sweet, easy, fun and interesting person to hang out with during the process! I can’t recommend her more highly!
Ivy is the best. I’ve followed her for over a decade from her salon in SF to here. I’ve got coarse wavy hair and Ivy’s shaped it and kept it healthy all these years. She listens really well, and just gets me. I like natural long layers, no frills and athletic who just wants to be active on the weekends and look professional during the week :) she nails it. Her number is on the site!
Nick is not only incredibly talented — he confidently delivers an incredible cut — he also goes above and beyond to make his clients feel welcomed and appreciated. Never had a better cut or customer experience! Don't walk, run here.
