Review from Lorie S.

It's a rare thing when you find a stylist that is qualified, listens to you, and meshes with your personality.
I really like Erica, and not only that, but I don't think that I have EVER received this many compliments about my hair. People stop me on the street to compliment it!
She's amazing, funny and super good and what she does. highly recommended.
FYI, i have short hair. -

I moved to the Mission Hills area, leaving behind my beloved ladies at Beauty by Dolly in Mira Mesa (sorry Sadaf!). The drive has been an inconvience latley so i decided to try and find another place. Bamboo was close, had good reviews, and when I called, had open availabilty after 130. Sounded like a match made in heaven, right? Wrong!
The lady who took care of me (short brown bob cut hair) threaded the top of the brows and continued to pluck the rest. She didnt have the best bed side manner either (texting while threadng, i mean, plucking me).
When i went to pay, the reciptionest asked ME what the total was. I dont know if shes new and didnt know the prices, or if prices change depending on the client(they charged me 20, im curious to know what you pay/ed!)...either was I was NOT impressed and will NOT be back. -

One visit for cut and color at Bamboo was enough for me. If you're okay with completely average cut and color, then you should probably stop reading this review ... now! I'm a firm believer in paying good money for good services, so I was uber-disappointed when my stylist turned out to possess little skill and a hefty price tag.
Negativity aside, the decor is beautiful and staff members are all very friendly! -

Erica Pray...so sweet and for a "first time" with her, she did a great job with cut and color.
True, I did go back for a touch-up two weeks post haircut, but only because I didn't stick my guns about needing "more layers" in the first place. But she nailed the color.
So she was kind enough to squeeze me in on a Saturday to do the touch-up no charge.
I typically have a one track mind and only so much ability to take in so much at one time, so I didn't pay too much attention to other things about the salon itself...maybe next time. -

I've been a client at Bamboo for about 4 years now. Cecily is amazing. She does such a wonderful job with my difficult curly hair. At this point I go in sit in her chair and let her style my hair however she wants because I know no matter what the cut it will look good.

It has now been 2 years and still going strong! Lauren Cates is my hair master/goddess. Skillfully guiding my short cropped do into the now silky sophisticated long locks! Auburn glow with hints of gold, violet and chocolate weaving through. I'm still always getting comments.
I now live in SF but have managed to keep up this marvelous hair habit. Never any regrets.
Ps. Thanks for getting me hooked on Rene Furterer!1 Previous Review: Show all »

I've been coming here on and off for years and always receive great service. Kevin Neal is amazing, a great colorist and stylist. He also will occasionally throw in a great neck massage:-) Prices are average, but well worth every penny. He has fixed my hair when I've strayed away and I always return to him, because he delivers what you request.

This is such a wonderfully calming place to be and with such a dynamic and talented crew of stylists. I'd like to give a big shout out to Kristine Klungnes, manicurist extraordinaire. Your hand and feet have never looked so lovely and cared for as when Kristine performs her magic on them. Everyone in the salon is extremely friendly and warm.

I found the salon back in 2003 and have been going to Erica Pray the entire time. I've never done more than have a cut and blow dry, but I've always been happy with the results. She has also cut my sons' hair . My oldest (13-14 at the time) was ending up in tears every time we went to the barber because they would butcher his hair. He brought in a picture of what he wanted and walked out looking just like it (and happy!). Erica is great and I always feel like I've hung out with a friend by the time I leave.

I love Erica! She is the coolest! She can wash, cut and dry my hair in 35 minutes flat-- a record! She's so fast that I was able to get my hair did on my lunch break! Amazing. Plus, she does an excellent job with the cut (duh-- otherwise I wouldn't go back) and color (highlights). She's really good at layering my hair so that my jew-fro doesn't poof up and make me look like a triangle head (she has thick hair, too, so she totally gets it). Sometimes, my visits are so quick that I wish they were a 'lil bit longer because I like being there so much! Plus, it's well priced ($60 plus tip), accessible (up the hill from the 5) and I can usually find parking at one of the meters out front.

The first couple of times I went here I saw Erin and she was amazing! She helped me get my hair back on track! So SAD...she moved to New York and I had to go to someone different in the salon. Unfortunately he was not anywhere near as good as her. I took pictures and came out with a cut that didn't look anywhere near the pictures. I was so disappointed! Plus their front desk help is so not helpful!! Going to try Diesel Salon...fingers crossed that it goes better.

I used to hate my hair....curly, frizzy, wild. So I straightened it. Then I moved here from Philly about 6 years ago and had a decision to make....straighten it again or let it go natural! I walked into Bamboo (because I liked the way it looked from the outside, and they carried Bumble & Bumble products), and met with Alex, who listened to my dilemma and checked out my hair, and suggested I try letting my hair do what it wanted to do. Six years later I am still extremely happy with that decision. Alex really understands the nuances and characteristics of different types of hair, and brings out the best in her clients. Highly recommend Alex at Bamboo!

I love this salon and Lauren is the best! She's honest, talented and super accommodating. In addition to great hair cuts, she takes the time to show me different hair styles. She even showed me how to french braid. :) I always recommend friends to see her. You won't be disappointed!

i've always been very indecisive about my hair. i personally thought i had horrible hair so no matter what i did to it, it would look bad anyway. my friend recommended linda barnes and since i was in the area i decided to give her a try. i have never in my life been more happy with my haircut, its like she read my mind! she is amazing!!! she knew exactly how to handle my hair and gave me recommendations on how to care for it. my coworkers all thought there was something different about me, but couldn't tell i had gotten highlights because linda made them look so natural! did i mention she's amazing? i will definitely be driving all the way from leucadia to have linda do my hair, definitely worth the money!

My neighbor recommended this place, and I tried it out since it was walking distance from my house. This was 4 years ago, and I'm still a loyal customer. I like the casual atmosphere and friendly staff. Kevin Neal cuts my hair and is fantastic! I have thick, wavy hair and he works magic with it. I always feel like a new person when i walk out of there. Everyone I've sent there has also had a great experience.
