The Best 15 Hair Salons in Redwood City, San Mateo

Lily Billings I’m usually cautious about making changes to my hair but Afsaneh at Lavish made me feel completely at ease. She gave me gorgeous, subtle balayage-style highlights without using bleach. Her skill and experience is clear from start to finish. Afsaneh also does my brows—her threading is so artful and precise. The salon is chic and conveniently located, and Allie, who does my keratin treatments, is so sweet and pleasant. I always leave feeling great. 10/10, Highly recommend!

Cheryl I have fine-textured blonde hair, and Afsaneh at Lavish Beauty cuts it so beautifully that I need to spend minimal time on styling. She was recommended to me by a friend, who is of Chinese heritage and wears her hair long -- and her hair looks wonderful for weeks after seeing Afsaneh.

Mahtaj I had an amazing experience at Lavish Beauty! Afsaneh, the salon owner, is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Ali did a fantastic job with my balayage, and Afsaneh gave me the perfect haircut. Highly recommend this salon for their expertise and excellent service!

Office of Dr Ebadi I have been a client at Lavish Beauty for many years and have had a great experience. At LB all clients are always treated with respect and quality care. Afsaneh joon who is the owner has full expertise in all services provided. I highly recommend LB and will give it a 5 star.

Masha Lomidze I am very happy with Lavish Beauty. The owner, Afsaneh, is a great stylist and is very professional and friendly. She always makes sure that the haircut is exactly the way I want and asks for feedback along the way, which I really appreciate. I’ve had several services at Lavish Beauty including haircuts and balayage and I’m always very happy with the results. The studio is also very nice and modern. It’s a pleasure to come here. Overall, highly recommend!

Lakshmi Lolla Love the place and vibe. Ashley was good and made me feel very comfortable. The amount of time and energy she put in to give me a perfect haircut just as I wanted was something I was very happy about. She is a very kind person.

Claire Olson Ashley Ulinger is an amazing stylist! As a woman with textured and kinky hair it’s difficult to find someone who knows how to cut, style, and color your hair in a healthy and stylish way! Even if she isn’t your regular stylist she knows how to adapt to new customers and deliver to your liking. Whether you come in with a plan or not, Ashley will provide a wonderful service and you will leave the salon extra happy!

Megan Webber Ive been going to Ashley for several years and I wouldnt trust my hair to anyone else! I always look forward to my appointments because I know Ill leave with beautiful hair and also a happy heart. Ashley is so kind and a joy to be around. The salon is like a little oasis of creativity and comfort!

Dava Souder Ashley is amazing. I showed her a quick photo of what I wanted for a haircut and she was able to replicate it to perfection. After years of trying to find someone in the Bay Area, I have finally found my person!

ananya chakraborty Absolutely loved her! I have curly/wavy hair, and in my 30+ years of life, she is the first hairdresser who didnt make me feel an outsider with respect to my curls. She made sure my curls are intact, more pronounced and layered them well.

Michelle Kapnias Lupe is simply the best stylist in Redwood City. I’ve been going to her for over 15 years. I usually go in with a light idea of what I want, but I just let her work her magic. She’s super knowledgeable, pays great attention to detail and is full of excellent advice. Never disappointed. Always delighted. She is very cool and professional as well.

Lisa Goularte Millie is the best, she does fantastic color!

Yahira Rodriguez This review is for Monserrat she’s truly the best hair stylist. She created a beautiful custom haircut for me and styled it perfectly. Highly recommend you book with her! She knows how to bring your vision to life.

Diane Aguilar Francisca was extremely patient, kind and knowledgeable. I showed her a pic of what I wanted and how I wanted it different in some areas and she followed my instructions with a positive attitude. I am definitely coming back!!

Laura Hernandez Very good job whenever I go with Francisca

Su-May Lee Alfred is marvelous. Really takes pride in his work. So affordable considering the time, effort, and expertise that one gets.

Joe Chan Alfreds skill is top notch. Been going to him for years and thru 2 locations. Highly recommended.

Elizabeth Brenner Best haircut I have had in years. Paola is kind, professional, and efficient

Berenice Mora Paola is amazing! She listens to you and gives you options and ideas. I love it!

B Aika Anna took her time carefully cutting my hair. Her passion for her work is amazing. I will come back here again.

Jake Noble Anna is great! We called ahead, come in at 8pm for a trim on a female w/ standard hair. $60. Anna treated my girlfriend to nice conversation, gave us some water, while I waited there. At the end, she treated us with some Vietnamese coffee and treats! She accepts cash or venmo

Seth Anna was able see me the same day that I called. She cared a lot about the way I wanted the haircut done. I am very impressed with the attention to detail that was shown. It has been over a month since the haircut, and my hair still looks good.

Joe Codina I found Anna Kimchi Beauty Salon by a happy coincidence. The decision to try her Salon was based of reviews on Yelp. Reviews for Anna were all 4 or 5 stars. Customers liked Annas attention to detail and her personal touch. By happy coincidence I realized this was not the first time in her care. Years ago I had gone to another Redwood City salon and Anna was cutting my hair there. It was at least a decade ago and she is even better now. Today, Anna is in her own place. This is her 7th year at this location on El Camino. Her shop is next to an Italian Cannoli/Biscotti Bakery near the edge with Atherton. She has been at this location for 7 years and has over 20 years experience. Go get a Biscotti next door when you are done! Annas salon has a very homey vibe. Everything is very relaxed. She mainly works by appointment these days. There is only one customer at a time - You. That is what I was looking for: A solo proprietor. Mainly because of Covid fear. My hair had grown uncut for 3 plus years. It looked like aging hippie hair and pretty bad. See the before and after and judge for yourself. I plan to go back again and again. Support your local business. Regards, J. Codina

Melissa Im extremely satisfied with my hair! Ive been to see Laura 3 times now. Once for a color correction, and a hair cut, and this last time, more blonde highlights that frame my face. She is personable, professional, and knows what she is doing! I would refer anyone to go see Laura for a cut/color/style. The salon is downtown redwood city across from Philz coffee and it is a beautiful salon. I felt very at ease there.

Ilona Monbeig Laura did amazing job! Love my highlights! They look very natural and even better on daylight. She is very talented hairstylist and her salon is really cute! Will definitely be returning! Thank you!

Scott Rogoff Laura has been giving me great haircuts for years, so I had to check out her brand new studio. Just enter Sola Salons from Broadway, and Firefly is immediately to your left. The decor is charming. The experience (wash, cut, blow dry, etc.) was excellent as usual. Laura always keeps me entertained with lively conversation. This says a lot, coming from an introvert who often prefers silence over small talk. Highly recommended!

Stephen Kieninger Been getting my haircut from Laura for YEARS! She is, far and away, the most fun, knowledgeable, passionate, and professional hair stylist Ive known or heard of. Youd be hard-pressed to find anyone even remotely as delightful as Laura. Her salons aesthetic perfectly reflects her personality; chic, welcoming, and friendly. If youre searching for seasoned stylist who is a master of their craft yet is always expanding their knowledge, and makes lasting relationships with their clients, look no further.

Christopher Kempton Kyra Richards does fantastic work. 1. Understood why I needed a haircut based on how my hair grows 2. She was quick while catching the details 3. She isn’t afraid of freedom 4. Very engaging She has already earned a referral by someone noticing.

Sylwia Lambert Great salon in RWC. I had the hardest time finding a hairstylist that would color my hair well in the Bay Area and then I found Katy! Highly recommend.

Hediyeh Lavasani I’ve been coming to Sproos for over 3 years now. My stylist Hoonaz is amazing. She knows exactly what I am looking for. The service is great and the staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. They always have the best products as well.

Amanda Baker I spent hours pouring over reviews for salons in the area since I just moved here. I finally decided on this place and I was really happy with my decision. I liked my hairstylist (Keri) and I liked the price ($60 for a wash, cut, and blow-dry). I would go here again.

Solomon Chi Came to get a quick cut by Nicole and she did a great job and she was able to accommodate me on short notice.

Wenjing Liang Yayoi is the best hair stylist I’ve ever met, she did so great with my thin hair, made the perfect bob hair cut for me. Definitely will come back to her when she is available and highly recommend her.

Kivi Zuo Highly recommend Yayoi, especially if you are looking for a change! She is incredibly detailed and makes perfect adjustments to ensure your desired hairstyle fits you perfectly. I was amazed to discover that she had saved the hairstyle pictures I showed her six months ago and still remembered me. Exceptional service and attention to detail!

Leslie Shaw Had a pleasant experience with Yayoi. She was able to make a good recommendation based on my hair and face shape, and executed the cut well. At the same time, she made me feel very relaxed and comfortable through out the whole experience.

Chang Kelly Ms.Yayois warmth and professionalism set the stage for an exceptional experience. She always listens attentively to my needs and ensures a thorough understanding of my desired look. Yayoi expertly cut and dyed my hair, and she offered valuable insights and recommendations along the way. Strongly recommended for anyone seeking a transformative and indulgent hair care experience in the Bay area.

R MTZ Great place for coloring and haircuts ask for Celina

Pamela Swint Celina was wonderful! Was thoughtful and gave a great cut

Bernicus95 Mahrz salon was definitely an enjoyable experience. Michelle Pierre is amazing and I would definitely return to have my hair trimmed by her

Chloe Martial Great haircut

Anthony Pena Jess The Barber has ultimately perfected the art of cutting hair.

Kelly Gherardi Melissa has been cutting and coloring my hair for many years. One of her areas of expertise is knowing how to correctly cut my curly hair and teaching me how to style it myself. She is super knowledgeable about the latest products and trends and offers great suggestions and advice. My almost-completely-gray hair still looks naturally blonde to the outside world, thanks to Melissa! In addition to being an expert about all things hair, she is pleasure to spend time with.

Stephanie Broome Melissa is very talented and her salon a relaxing and regenerating environment!

Susan Kraft Great personal botique service with a highly trained professional. I love Melissas expert insight and personality. Shes helped me transition from the way I wore my hair during the last 5-years to a modern look for my hair needs today. That, plus she offers great little perks while waiting for my coloring to set. Had a hard time tinting my grey haired husbands hair. But other than that, shes wonderful.

Sarah Scheidt I came to Melissa the first time quite randomly but I was very satisfied with my cut and the experience so now she is my go to stylist. She seems to know exactly what I want even when I dont. The environment is relaxing and shes super easy going.

Gabriela Torres I love my hair because she curled it, cut it and washed it.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

David Vidal Elva is the best, she has been cutting my hair since i lived down the street from her (over 6 years). Shes polite, very personable, speaks fluent english and spanish, very down to earth. I moved to the east bay area and STILL drive down to get my hair cut by her. I will always be loyal to Roma Hair Studios. 5 stars

Matt White Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it had been 4 months since my last haircut. I looked like a complete hobo, but Elva fixed me up right quick! Elva is seriously great. Affordable and high quality!
