Salon Noir Beauty Lounge

Karina is THE BEST. She's super knowledgeable and is very honest to set realistic expectations. I don't go to anyone else anymore for cuts and color.
She did a rose gold balayage today and it came out incredible. I don't put any color except varying shades of brown in my hair so this was totally new and I had no idea what to expect but it came out better than I could have imagined.
Go to Karina!

Made an appointment with Karina and she is literally as good as it gets in the Bay Area (or probably any are, for that matter). I don't know much about hair, or even what cut is best for my face/hair type, but Karina was super informative and taught me a lot about hair care and certain ways to prevent breakage. My hair falls out/breaks easily for medical reasons, so I came in with split ends and frizz all over my hair.

She not only kept my length while cutting off the split ends, but re-did my layers and framed my face so now my hair has more "life" to it. I no longer have limp, lifeless hair and that is a huge relief because I always thought I was going to have to get used to it.

The shampooing was nice too! Very gentle, warm water and nice-smelling shampoo. I've never actually had my hair shampoo'd at a salon before, but I'm definitely making visits to Karina a regular thing now :) I'm so happy with how my hair came out; the healthiness is very noticeable! And for the price, you can't argue with the quality. She really takes her time to make sure you get the cut that is best suited for your hair.

Michelle is really a hidden gem in Livermore right by Costco. I see her every couple of months last several years and I won't let anyone touch my hair but her. She is so talented and her long layers and cut is perfect each time. My hair comes out perfect every single time and I love this her! I don't get the negative reviews, but she is one of the best stylist I ever had. I am super boujee and picky, Michelle is the best!

Made an appointment w/Karina and wow...definitely great. She actually help me figure out which type of bob cut I should get based on my round face and it blew my expectations.

Going to try coloring with her next week and will update :)

Wonderful color! I came with awful beast color and she fixed it perfectly. Not only that but I follow curly girl method and they respected my no bleach policy and shoes me what she is using exactly to make sure my curls are fresh and healthy!

I made my first appointment at Stylishious Salon, with Kelli. I was a little nervous to come to a new salon and stylist, but I was ready for a change and Kelli gave me exactly what I was looking for! I was undecided in the exact cut that I wanted. Although, i knew I wanted to go shorter just not sure how short, but wasn't sure on the style (pointed out on a few picture that I thought were cute). Kelli was great; i knew she was excited due to my hair being super long and that she was able to style how she somewhat wanted it. she gave great suggestions, and helped me figure out what I wanted. The end result was awesome!! I love my new hair! As far as price goes, localgruv had a promo going on so I got a ridiculously good rate on my first cut, style, partial highlights and blow out. The standard rates are also very reasonable.

Aside from my cut, I brought my two kids along. while I waiting for my highlights under the the dryer one of my daughter want a cut as well. Kelli was very accommodating and was able to wash, cut, style and blowout my daughters hair in between for an excellent price and free sodas!! :-)

Thanks again Kelli! I'll be back!

I first met Stephanie Tillson from Stylishious Salon back in 2013 when she did my hair for a photoshoot. From that point, she has always been my first choice to work with for other photoshoots where she does both my hair and makeup. She has an amazing range of skills and had always been able to help create the look we are going for, and also provide valuable insight from her experience as a hair and makeup artist in helping guide the direction of the shoot.

Of course, with her amazing work on our photoshoots, I switched to her for my regular hair maintenance as well. She has always been helpful in explaining what is realistic or what I can expect while trying to achieve a certain look. I'm pretty picky and it has taken a while to find a hair stylist that can create the look I'm aiming for. She is fantastic! Until recently I've always done a variation of blond highlights and lowlights, or blond ombre. In March I made the leap to a fuschia ombre and loved it. Stephanie clearly setup my expectations on what we could achieve and how long it would last. As well as tips for maintenance.

In addition, she has helped me pick out extensions for photoshoots and cut/maintained them to better match my color.

I've referred several friends and family to her and they all love her. Whether engagement shoots or wedding day hair, they all have been happy.

I highly recommend Stephanie!!!

I just moved to Dublin, and I was so desperate to have my hair done as I didn't have my hair maintained properly due to my pregnancy and breast feeding.
I am so happy with the result. Stephaine definitely nailed it! I received a lot of compliments at work. The color turns out so natural, and the hair cut is exactly what I want.

Stephanie is a great stylist who makes me feel pretty again. I will be a regular! Thanks!!!!

Becca is an incredible stylist whether it be a cut or updo. Highly recommend! Easy to make an appointment online too.

Go see Karina Padilla!! Huge transformation today - I had about a 10 inch haircut! She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations and explained to me what would look best based on my face shape and my hair type. I appreciate her giving me multiple options of conditioning - deep conditioning or the olaplex treatment as I expressed how much I wanted it due my fairly dry hair. She let me decide on what I want to do today and the hairstyle I had my mind on. I'm a first time client and I will definitely be back! Thanks Karina!
