Anyway.

She's…

1445 The Alameda
San Jose, CA 95126

elizabeth T. writes: After growing my stick straight hair out for 3 years or so, I did what most girls decide to do after all that waiting-- I cut it off.

Spa Los Gatos

100 S Santa Cruz Ave
Los Gatos, CA 95030

So, for my first visit to Rouge, I am…

AXIS Performance Center

544 San Antonio Rd

Edge Hair Salon

250 University Ave
Ste 103
Palo Alto, CA 94301

Debbie L. writes: For my previous haircut, a few months ago, I decided I wanted to splurge and spend more than $20 to get my haircut. Got my hair cut at Neo in Burlingame, and was quite disappointed. It didn't look terrible -- it just didn't look much different than…

Mane Event Salon

Fusion 3 SalonSpa

722 Main St
Pleasanton, CA 94566

I would tell you b. writes: EXPENSIVE! Don't bother unless you would like to spend 90+ on a haircut alone. They trick you with the $65 for a cut then they add on a blowing fee for $15. After tip you are will over $90. Good service and OK cut but not worth the money.

There's nothing more I despise than unruly, unkempt eyebrows. And yes, I'll admit it: I'm a pluck-a-holic. I'm not exactly sure where this stems from, but I guarantee you that after a little plucking session, I automatically feel…
