75 Reviews for 5 Color Cowboy
Went here for a haircut because of yelp ... I forgot who cut my hair, but she was really nice. Wanted long layers + bangs. Layers were pretty cool.. she did something different. Bangs didn't turn out the way I wanted but it was okay. Average place for average haircut. I think this place is really good at doing colors and if you wanted a specific kind of haircut then it'd be a really good place to go. But for average layering + bangs.. its okay.
The worst haircut I've ever had. And not only was it terrible, but it cost me $50 to boot.
As an Asian male with straight, stiff, black hair, I requested their best stylist as I continue to search for a salon that can add style and substance with character and competence.
After reading Yelp reviews, I took the risk, made an appointment and was sorely disappointed. My stylist (I can't recall her name) did not know how to use clippers to sculpt my hair, and she spent the good part of an hour picking at it with her scissors. The end result was too much hair cut, and I looked like a fuzzy egg. Not exactly an haute couture look, much less a professional and respectable image at the office.
Ashamed and embarrassed by my poor excuse for a haircut, I went to another Salon in Milpitas for a 'rescue cut'. Granted, it looked much better after spending another $35 on it, but Color Cowboy had done just too much damage (and cut too much hair) to achieve a full recovery.
I'm still on the quest and am worried that it's an impossible one. Does anybody in the Bay Area know how to cut straight black Asian hair for men?

I started going to Blair at 5 Color Cowboy about three years ago--and she is the only person who ever gives me the haircut I envision! I have gone to two other chicks (not at 5 Color) just for the heck of it--and neither were as skilled as Blair (one of them actually DESTROYED my hair, which Blair helped to fix).
I don't think I will switch hair stylists as long as Blair's around. She's practical (won't give me the color I want if it will destroy my hair--yes, my hair has been to hell and back in the past three years!), and very talented.
I ALWAYS get tons of compliments when she does my hair!!
The ambiance of the salon is groovy, I love it!
Tallie : amazing haircut, always gets it every single time. I have chest long deep dark brown hair or near black. Gave me amazing layers, easy enough for me to manage, perfect bangs to fit my face when I asked for them.
Everytime, I get a cut, I tell her what I sort of want, and she gives me exactly what I was looking for : perfect layers, blowout, styling (I ask her to part it, and it shapes my face the best possible way). The first time, I got it cut, she cut it dry - awesome way to see how your hair will lay out. It shapes and frames it a lot better. You know when you ask for 2 inches cut off? Tallie will only cut 2 inches, not 5!! Too many times thats happened in my life. She really knows how to thin hair out with the best technique because I have the a lot of thick hair on a head anyone can have.
She does a lot of weddings too, so shes is a busy girl.....I have been driving from LA, Chico, Lake Tahoe, for the past few years to go to her, and Steve (when Tallie isn't available). Steve does a great job too. He will give you an edgy cut or a natural beautiful do.

I love love love my hair! I would have never thought my hair could look this good, but it does! After my cut I wanted to flaunt my hair like a Pantene commercial lol. My hair was done by Vanessa, the wait and the price is worth it trust me! This is the first time I've been to a high end salon and the difference is just unbelievable.
My favorite place to get a haircut! I absolutely LOVE Angel. I've been going to her for over a year now. She does wonders on hair. I've gone to a variety of nice places on the peninsula before moving to SJ and having hair that is hit or miss. The key to getting a cut you like is going to someone with hair you like and who is in the same age range as the hair you want. You want something cutting edge, you go to someone who has style. You want something conservative, you go with someone who has more conservative hair. You get it? So Angel always makes great suggestions that look good with your face and personal style. I always trust her with my cut and I'm always pleased. I even got one of my guy friends to come here and he has never looked back. Bring your checkbook. I'm not sure if they take plastic.
Well, I first have to admit, one of my best friends, Angel Vargas is a hair stylist here so it may seem I'm biased. However, because we have known each other for many moons, I have witnessed first hand her evolution. Even before beauty school Angel would always style my hair- we were very much into retro updo's from the 20's-60's and she learned how to perfect these styles in me and some of our other friends.
During beauty school I was her model on numerous 'adventures' and let me just take this opportunity to brag that she won a major hair style contest during this time.
Now as a professional for some 4 plus years she gets more amazingly creative with each day. Here is the best proof that I'm not just a stage Mom blowing smoke-- My Mother whom probably is known amongst hair stylist's near and far as 'one of those clients' -- God love her, she is finicky one to say the least. I didn't want to subject Angel to her right away, so we waited a few years. Well My Mom has been going to her for about 6 months now and for the first time EVER my Mom is satisfied with her hair and gets compliments all the time. This is true for me as well to the point where I keep Angels' cards on me at all times.
Bottom line Angel is truly an artist and miracle worker in the case of my Mother and I'm sure many others out there..
The Salon is very cool looking and all the hair stylist's are super friendly- No one here has the pretentious better than thou vibe that other salons sometimes emit.
Yayyy I love this place!! The interior can only be described as funky, the stylists are sweet and, well, stylish, and the I've been there twice now and left with an awesome new 'do. If you want something different and fun, this is your place.
The first time I came here I had Tallie cut my hair. I had super long hair and wasn't quite ready to lop it off, so she thinned it out and gave it some nice style. Then today I went and had Angel (Angelica) cut it all off ... and I love it!! She was great showing me how do deal with my new hair (or lack thereof) and totally sweet through the whole thing. I'll definitely be going back in a few months or sooner if I want some color.

Tali-ho!!
i will follow her wherever she may go!!
i love this place for the following reasons:
1. the interior of this beautiful building (used to be an old bank) was a blank canvas for California artist David Choe. he covered every inch! it's amazing and you must see it!
2.Bumble&Bumble
3.good location and i always find parking
4.music is usually good
5.receptionists are usually on top of things and the other hairdressers are cool (i really like a salon where you can see others working and say "ooh i like that. do me like that!")
i am biased because tallie has been my hairdresser for about 7 years now!! but i love her because she knows what she's doing, she's confident, and completely honest with you....ALWAYS! i trust her and she's real....i don't like the thought of my hair being in the hands of someone i wouldn't want to be friends with!!
she always makes it work!
if you are looking for a great cut/color and want quality products....this is the way to go!
only complaints: the swamp fan is outta control at times & the push/pull signage!
but i definitely have no real complaints!
shoot i drive two hours roundtrip just for a trim!!

I went to Steve once and just can't go back because of the price vs. my time issue.
The way I see it is that any hair dresser that needs an assistant doesn't really value my time. I have had plenty of hair dressers that blow dry my own hair and wash me for the same price in about an hour's less time.
I feel like I spent a lot of down time here.
In the end Steve gave me a great cut, a nice color but was just too overpriced. If you are patient you can find just as good of a do for a better price and less the time.
Time is valuable to me, I work hard!
On one last note, Steve also does real estate and that came in handy more so then his expensive hair skills.

This place inspired me to make a yelp account thing. I used to love this place and got super super amazing haircuts here by Maritza and Steve. Steve cut my hair once a year and a half ago and it looked good. Except for the fact that he kept me waiting for a long time. Maritza was probably the best she was prompt and didn't make me wait. I liked both stylists because they took their time to make my hair look good. I give this place two stars, one for each person who gave me a good haircut.
HOWEVER... I am now not such a big fan anymore. Usually when I get my haircut, I can only call in a few days in advance because my schedule is kind of weird so usually I just get whoever has an opening. Recently I got my haircut by Blair. Seriously her assistant guy Daniel ( I think that's his name...actually he was kind of cute) was helping me most of the time. He was the one to wash my hair and blow it out. I felt as if Blair was incredibly rushed. I told her I wanted to keep the length of my hair but add some bangs in the front. She hardly trimmed my hair and I still have a lot of dead ends and GOOD LORD SHE GAVE ME SOME FUCKING BANGS. I do not mean that in a good way. She cut my bangs like how my dad cut my bangs when I was three years old. She was so rushed when she cut them too. She heard that her other client came in and she seemed incredibly excited to cut his hair. She moved me to another chair, rushed my bang cut and moved on to her other client (haha bang and client in the same sentence sounds kind of funny). AHHH! She took her scissors and just cut them straight across. It almost looks like I have half a bowl cut except my bangs aren't even straight!! I wanted bangs in the front but not like that. Blair was kind of uninterested in cutting my hair and was not as detailed as the stylists that I had before. I'll be honest I got a little bit of snootyness from her too. I guess she only likes her established clients. I was there for less than an hour and I only saw Blair for half of that time.
So the moral of the story is Blair umm kind of gave me a really bad TERRIBLE hair cut, but her assistant knows how to blow dry hair and serves as some good eye candy but who am I kidding...he wasn't good enough looking for me to want go back to this salon.

I started going to 5 color cowboy about 3 years ago and I love this place! It has very talented people that are worth every penny. I go to Blair Carson when I get my haircut and she really knows what she is doing. I swear I've never had so many compliments on my hair until she started cutting it. I love my hair and this is definitely a keeper!
I love this place. Thanks to Yelp I have a new favorite hair place. Blair is awesome!! Yes, the price is a little more than what I am used to BUT well worth it. My hair looks so healthy!

I love this place so much. Every time I get a haircut by &#&$^%& (not telling you her name), I get so many compliments, it's unbelievable. I referred her to my best friend, who's seeing her in early January. So exciting, I know she will not be disappointed! Anyway, I recently went in to cut 7 inches (ahh!!!) for a sophisticated slightly angled shoulder-length bob. I wasn't scared at all because I completely trust my stylist. She would never make me look bad. I will follow her anywhere and pay $$$ (which I already do) for her to make me look sexy!

I have been going to Steve Husted for about 10 years now.
He is great. I followed him from Faux.
Steve has always listened to me, and at first, he did exactly as I said, but over time I have learned to trust him and give him free reign, other than the length.
I have NEVER been chopped, butchered, or come out looking inappropriately for my executive job!
He NEVER pushes products either. In fact, my only complaint is that they are frequently out of the products I want and I've had to go to other salons to purchase them (are you reading his, Johnny??? :D)
And Adolpho at the front is always wonderful to talk to.
Not the cheapest cut & color in town, but if you think about how many hours he spends with you it seems very reasonable.
You get what you pay for.

I had a great cut and color today by Steve at 5 Color Cowboy. I have curly hair, so I've had my share of bad cuts. He did fabulous things with the layering and when I mentioned casually that I might want to do something with color, he suggested a great red with brown lowlights that I wouldn't have asked for in a million years. It looks amazing and I can't wait to show it off.
As for price, I found it to be on-par with my ex-stylist and with what my friends pay for similar service. I went with four stars instead of 5 because my cut and color took 3 hours. Maybe that's normal, but it seemed a little long for me.

My experience was just okay.
I like the atmosphere, very wide and regal.
Everyone was friendly and accomodating, and the Shampoo girl Thanh (but I think she is now a stylist) was gentle with my tangled hair and explained what was going on. They offered me beverages, and led me to meet my hair stylist, Rhoda.
She looked at my hair, asked me what I wanted to do, how short I wanted to get, asked if I wanted to look at pictures...
I was pretty vague and said that I wanted to do layers, wanted lots of volume, and do not want a mullet...
She did a fine job cutting my hair, explaining the purpose of the products she was using on my hair and how to do it myself, that my hair was dry because of all the dying, etc. She also does free trim on bangs on clients as long as you set up an appointment with her.
Rhoda took her time and I think my appointment might've stretched up to 2 and a half hours! She apologized, but I wasn't in a rush anyway...So I guess make allowances when you come in.
She provided me great conversation and had a charming personality, but I think I may have scared her a bit when I told her about the no mullet rule that she played it too safe...I have her some free reigh, and expected something va-va-voom, you know what I mean? I left kinda broke, not unhappy, but not satisfied either.
However,I'm a neophyte when it comes to hair styling, and Rhoda helped educate me in using my blowdry and using Bumble & Bumble products to achieve the volume I wanted.
I love love love this salon!!!!!!! I first came here in May at my friend's expense (it was my bday), and he hooked me up with Thanh. And I've been coming back to Thanh ever since! This girl is not just a stylist, but an artist, and a master of her craft! you can walk into the salon, totally indecisive on what you want, and you will leave with something you didnt expect (in a good way, of course!)!!! My one bit of advice is to make sure you have a good portion of time blocked out. Thanh likes to take her time, but only because she is a perfectionist, and wants to keep her clients happy. She really listens, and makes sure you leave looking like a million bucks!!
The decor of the salon is amazing. This building used to be an old Bank of Italy in the 1920's, and still has the original crown molding, marble countertops, and vault door from when this was a bank. It also boasts some great mural work by on of the representatives from the Pacific Art Collective!
I've also noticed that alot of people gripe about the cost of a haircut/ color treatment from this place. Keep in mind this is a HIGH END salon, and not your typical BS from your local Super Cuts. Wouldn't you rather pay more to have someone take the time to do things right? COME ON PEOPLE!!! But seriously, it's totally worth it!
With that being said, make your appointment with Thanh ASAP!!!!

I love it there! This has officially become my hair salon here in the Bay Area. For a full cut, dye (and sometimes two colors mind you) the prices are quite decent and they have a full stock of Bumble and Bumble product. The staff is supercool and fun, and I love my hairdresser- she's the sweetest person ever. There is an amazing mural on the back wall that I love staring at every time I go.
Also, if you have the time, book yourself with Sia for an eyebrow waxing or facial. She works upstairs and has a separate business. She is amazing- she's a part time nurse too so she has this wonderful healing and calming quality to her. It's good to pamper yourself sometimes!

I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Johnny the owner. He is super cool. I was not sure what I wanted other than low maintenance and not too short. He talked to me for awhile and then started to create a great cut. It came out so cute....I love it! It's easy and he did it all without blowdrying with a brush. I can't wait for my color in two weeks. I also loved the staff. Great service and really sharp decor. Go early. Parking is hairy.

This place is great and Angel is a hair godsend! She's young, but super talented and absolutely great with color. I've been to much more expensive more "seasoned" stylists in San Francisco and they could not even come close to the talent I have found here. Not to mention she's a total sweetheart as well!
The decor is very hip with some Asian influences and the staff are always quick to serve you a drink. The hours they keep are great (only closed on Mondays) and the location is very convenient.

The 5 Color Cowboy's staff is the reason I continue to get my hair done @ this fabulous salon. Johnny(The owner) has a lot of style, and I really like how he listens to his clients every need. I've followed Johnny from Faux, and I'm really glad to see how well all of you other Yelpers like his salon!
Johnny's staff at the 5 Color Cowboy are also off the hook! Very trendy, cutting edge design, and fashion! I really enjoy spending an hour with Johnny and his awesome crew!

I came here on recommendation from a friend of a stylist. My hair is fine, "like a spider web" according to one of my friends. I've kept it long for quite some time, and it was time for something new.
Steve was a little late for my appointment, but when I asked for his ideas, he knew what he wanted to do with it.
Nice guy, we chatted about real estate since he's also an agent, while he did my hair. He gave me a few pomegranate candy things while he spent an hour on my hair. When he was done, I wasn't quite sure about the cut. It didn't look fully brushed out, but overall I liked it.
The next day, after a shower and letting my hair air-dry as I normally do, it looked SO different than what I left with! Not bad, just different. Though I think one side fluffs out and looks scraggly, so now I have to start using product if I want to keep my hair looking good. Nice to have some character to it, though.
I decided to try some of the Bumble & Bumble shampoo and conditioner since he said it would help with adding body...until I saw it was $25 for a small bottle. I can't imagine it's that much of a miracle product to be worth it.
But really? My complaint is that I went to pay for my $70 hair cut to find out they don't take credit cards. This day and age, who carries $100 cash or a checkbook anymore? If you're going to charge that much, let a person know when they set the appointment. It's embarrassing and more expensive to have to go to the gas station next door to take money out of an ATM machine.
I also think $70 is pretty expensive for a haircut, but my mom's been cutting my hair for years, and I used to go to places like Supercuts, so maybe $70 is standard. I'm sure I know someone who could have done the same cut for half the price, though, just a further drive.
Nice job, but I probably won't be coming back.
I came to 5CC under referral from my cousin and sister (who both have fabulous hair). I came out looking completely transformed, and I loved it!
I brought in a picture of what I wanted, and it was shoulder length hair. She ended up cutting it shorter than what I wanted, but I wasn't complaining b/c it looked great! She also threw in some red and blonde highlights, completely mod. She took her time when she cut my hair. I hate it when hairdressers rush just to make it to their next appointment. And while my color was processing, she actually sat down and had a conversation with me. A lot of hairdressers are pretty stuck up, especially at a fancy place like 5CC. Her assistant was also really nice, asking me if I wanted coffee or food from next door. And finally, when I was all done and I was saying goodbye, she took one good look at me and said "hold on, let me get this little piece". so shes pretty anal about perfection. And all this happened when she had a customer sitting in her chair! I love Vanessa.
Totally coming back ..

The salon is alright. The building itself is much cooler, as it formerly was a bank, so the back area is accessed through a vault door. I had a basic cut and blowdry, and after tip, it was all $75. That's a bit steep for impersonal niceness. I'm not much of a trendfreak, so this place isn't for me. Nice facilities though, and they do use bumble & bumble. Will look elsewhere.
Vanessa rocks! She's an awesome stylist! Give her a try!
love this place! they cut my hair perfectly every time, and not to mention the updos..great for weddings, social events probably even prom
This place SUCKED. I was totally wooed by all the rave reviews I found on this website. On top of that, I spotted a girl with a totally adorable haircut at Nordstrom and she said she had it done here. By Johnny. So obviously a good haircut has come out of this place at least once...
However, when I went to get my hair done there, the prissy receptionist was completely dismissive of me and sent me to sit at the side of the salon, but never bothered to tell my stylist that I was there. I sat in that chair for 45 minutes! I was livid. The receptionist didn't even apologize. My stylist did, but it definitely wasn't his fault.
My haircut was in fact his fault. Yuck. I have fine, straight hair that tends not to hide mistakes. Add to this fact that I like my hair in a neat, clean bob. Apparently professional hairdressers find this difficult. There were large chunks of uneven hair that I had to go home and cut off myself. I sucked it up and dealt with it and not wanting to go try yet another salon for a full haircut, I went back to Johnny to get my bangs trimmed. I did this twice. Both times were worse than the prior. My bangs got more and more f*ed up. My hair looked like total crap. I gave this guy 3 shots, and all I got was a lousy haircut and lots of super awkward conversation.
Boo this place. I would never recommend it to anyone.

I called this place for some info about their cut & color. They actually take the time to really talk to you over the phone! The guy I was talking to made me describe my hair and asked me about past color processes. He was VERY informative and gave me EXTRA help/time to rant about my hair. Very patient. EXTREMELY friendly. He even offered to let me talk to a hair stylist that he thought could do the job well! xD I can't wait to get my hair done!
Will update later.

I am very attached to my hair and very scared to have new stylists cut it - but BLAIR CARSON - did not fail me and I walked out of the salon thinking, "this is pretty cute" rather than the usual "OMG I hate my hair cut and I am not going to get it cut for another year until it grows out."
Blair was patient, responsive, and performed a great cut. First, she cut my hair while it was wet, then she flat-ironed it so that she could more effectively snip and trim into an edgy-yet-classic long mane. She took off the damaged ends without sacrificing length and she was fun while she did it. Blair cut my hair a little more blunt and less razored edgy than I have had it in the past, which looks nice, but I was not used to it - she was so accommodating that she genuinely offered for me to come in any time for a quick razor if I felt it wasn't enough edge.
The reason I am giving 4 stars rather than 5 is because my appointment was at 12:30 on a Saturday and I did not leave until 3:00PM, which is a really long time to spend for a hair cut on the first beautiful weekend of spring. The salon called me around noon to tell me she was running late, so I arrived at 1PM. I think that the salon is ultra-busy on Saturdays so I recommend going during the weekday if you can swing it. It was also a bit toasty in there and they could benefit from some air conditioning.
All in all, I'll be back to Blair.

Johnny is the man. I live in another country and still find a way to come through San Jose every few months to talk to him and get my hair cut. He does a great job on guy hair and makes everyone feel welcome. I've referred several people and they have all come away raving about 5CC.
I love love love what this place did for my mom. She's kind of a no-frills-when-it-comes-to-my-appearance kind of a woman, but I convinced her to go get her hair cut at someplace besides supercuts. The pouting was definitely worth it. Maritza did an EXCELLENT job and my mom looked like 10 years younger and definitely got more "Are you two sisters?" comments.
I subtracted one star because I called to make an appointment but she made it for the wrong time and so I went there, waited, was told I was wrong (when even my mom heard the receptionist confirm the appt for 1:30 and not 4:30), and made to come back again, only to wait for even longer because Maritza was running way late and didnt see us till 5 or 5:15.
But the haircut was so worth it.

Read the reviews here and made an appointment to get my hair cut and colored. Its always scary trying new places but Vanessa did my hair and I actually love it. I rarely go home happy from the salon after they style it, but the cut was great, color right on and the way she styled it was perfect. She even gave me lots of advise on how to style it at home. I'm hooked! :)

It has been years since I got a haircut that didn't make me feel ripped off or blah about, on my drive home. Let's face it - you can't get any kind of salon cut for less than $50 around here, and you might as well be happy with it if you're spending the money.
After perusing Yelp a couple weeks ago, I decided to give 5 Color Cowboy a try. They sounded funky and I like funky. It might be prejudiced, but I really have an issue with getting your hair cut by someone who doesn't have any visible sense of style, themselves. This is the first salon I've been to in eons that oozed artsy fartsy casual funkiness (in a good way, of course) and I was not afraid to let Angel totally revamp my cut, color and highlights on the first visit. She was really sweet, patient, full of suggestions and got the job done pretty quickly. She was also nice enough to discuss product options beyond what was for sale at the salon, along with some styling tips. It's been a while since the person cutting my hair paid that much attention to the job at hand. Angel rocks!

%^%& still amazes me. I love her cuts, she does bangs especially well. I went in for some nice funky color panels today and came out very very pleased. Got lotsa compliments on my hair already and I just lef the salon about an hour ago. Been going to *&^% for about a year now and I've been happy w/ my hair since I started going to her. Why the 4 stars? Because it can get pretty pricey! But beauty comes w/ a price. :)
**EDIT***
My last 2 haircuts with her have neen awful, I'm seriuosly rethinking..I think it's time to go to someone else. Maybe her clientele list has grown too much. It takes about 2 months or more to get an apt., and at my last apt she was running about 2 hours behind and wanted to reschedule me after they had called to push my time back twice that day. She pretty much said, take a crappy haircut tonight or reschedule? This is to someone that has been a client for over a year and has booked this apt way out when?? I waited 2 months already,
I couldn't wait any longer...got out of there at 10 PM w/ a crappy cut. URGH!! BOOOOOOOO!!! WTF

Anyone who knows me know that my hair is very important to me. I love my hair. A few months ago I got a bad haircut. That same night I ran into Vanessa at Cinebar. I told her my sobstory. She was very understanding. She told me to come in when it grows out.
Last Saturday I was ready. She promised that it would be the best haircut of my life. She was right. Vanessa is amazing!
Cheers
I was recommended to 5 Color Cowboy by several friends. One friend I trust very much referred me to Vanessa. I have been to her twice now and expect to have a long relationship of many future cuts with her. I also sent my sister to her who received a complete transformation! She looks amazing!! Vanessa is very friendly and easy to talk to. She offers her opinion about my ideas and gives her professional feedback. I completely trust her judgment and her advice.
The salon itself is funky and cool. The staff and fellow stylists are also very professional and friendly. (This is much different than that last salon I went to where I would here about everyone's personal lives - TMI!)
If you have not already done so, pick up the phone and make your appointment with Vanessa. Okay, now I am sounding like a commercial...

i can not stress how much you NEED to go to 5 color cowboy. they have a great asian inspired salon with fabulous music and artwork.
i was so nervous about getting a new cut... but i am so glad i listened to my fellow yelpers... 5 color cowboy is the place to go. and see VANESSA. she is the bomb.com

I read all the good reviews here, and with the hopes of finally finding an edgy salon in the south bay, I made an appointment with whomever was available. It turned out to be Thanh, and I think I'm hooked. My entire visit lasted 2 1/2 hrs., which is insanely long, but she said she likes to spend the time really getting to know new clients and their hair. I appreciated it, because who doesn't have some weirdo quirkiness to their hair that they want the stylist to solve?
Anyway, I thought I was growing my hair out, but she had some ideas, and I let her cut away. I left with short hair, which I was not expecting, but I like it. They offer complimentary bang-trims to regular clients (I guess after 1 haircut, I'm a regular), and the vibe of the salon is pretty easy. I'll definitely be back to see Thanh. Oh, and the murals inside the salon are amazing, really cool giant robots painted by David Choe.
I love, love, love this Salon! My stylist Vanessa did such a great job with my hair! I needed a new look and a new stylist hence, I found 5 Color Cowbow. Thanks to YELP. I love their receptionist, she squeezed me in for an app't next day, it being last minute and all. I trusted her to recommend a stylist who can do great color and cut. She recommended Vanessa! I left the salon very happy. My husband and friends love the new look and convinced my husband to switch as well. Great stylist , hair, products and good customer service are all well worth the money!

I went back for my 2nd haircut/color with Vanessa and once again she did a great job...mind you, it was Vanessa who called to remind me and followed up to see how I was doing...she is so great!
