The atmosphere at Salon is so relaxing, and-she made the whole process enjoyable with their friendly demeanor. I walked out feeling like a brand new person!

Jihyuck Jo I think I’ve visited most of the K-hair salon for haircut in the Bay Area, and realized that Lucy was the best hair stylist to me :) She is kind & thorough to consider my goal and figure out what’ll be the ideal version will be. Every time I visit, she renovates me to become a human-being from a beast. I’m afraid she’ll become too popular, and eventually I can’t make a reservation any time soon, but still more than happy to recommend her without hesitation. Thanks Lucy once more!

Yerim H Went for a trim and it was great! She gave me good suggestions specific to my hair thickness, health, and face shape. She washed my hair, cut it, and styled it within an hour for $70! Ill be coming back next time Im in San Jose :)

Trinh Phu Lucy is great. Had a short trim with layers with face framing. Lucy was very precise and let me know what stage she is on for the cut through the hour. She recommended a certain style different to what I thought I’d like and turned out well. Drove from SF to see her and was worth. Thanks Lucy! See you next time :)

Lisa Ahn Needed to find a new salon after moving to the area. Was very happy to have found this salon. Making an appointment was simple, Lucy spent time getting to know exactly what type of cut I was looking for and spent a good amount of time trimming and styling. I wanted to remove volume and have a cut that looked good when I have time to straighten and when I don’t (air dry wavy). Will be back again.

Sua Choi Lucy did magic to my hair! She respected what I was comfortable with while also bringing in things to the mix that enhanced my natural features. I was with her for 5 hours and every minute she was putting in her best effort and care. Highly recommend! Professional hair care, treatment, and styling.

Nick Lee Today was my first time getting a haircut from Winnie and I will absolutely be back! Winnie is the first stylist I’ve found who actually knows how to work with Asian hair (and I’ve been to MANY stylists/barbers). She worked with my hair instead of trying to force it do something unnatural and her care with the haircut was impeccable. Thank you Winnie for helping me love my hair again!

Wei-Chun Lee Awesome place!

Jocelyn Nguyen Theresa did a great job getting me to silver! Pics are after the first and second sessions! Love my hair

Alexandra Wilson Theresa at Tinge Salon was great! She gave me a fresh new cut and remedied my color after years of home coloring. She will be my go to stylist from now on; I’m so glad I found her!

Michael Ye Great professional Salon!

Deanna Ortiz Great profrssional place

Gabriella Laszlo I have been getting my hair cut by Lena at Sparkle for a number of years. She is very experienced! And always does a wonderful job.

Kevin Chow Bag.

tony ha amazing place. Been going here since they open and everyone is super professional and nice. Told my friends about this place too

Duc Duong Very friendly and great place to get a hair cut. Looking for Bao...he will take a good care of his customers. Thanks Bao.

Julia Moger I’m so excited to write this review because I finally found the right place! My hair was so dry and frizzy that I had almost given up on making it shiny again. A friend recommended Maria Hair Salon, but I didn’t have much experience with hair treatments. Oh my god—wow! Maria worked her magic and completely transformed my hair. Now it’s shiny and healthy, and it’s even growing better. I’m so happy and so grateful to her! If you want beautiful, shiny hair, you need to go see Maria!

Gloria Liu I have been with Maria for over a year now, and I must say that she is an exceptional hairstylist. Her intelligence and patience are reflected in every appointment, and she always understands my needs and preferences perfectly. All I have to do is show her a few photos of my desired style, and she takes care of everything else. Maria has also taught me some tips and tricks for styling my hair at home, which has been very helpful. Her new salon is clean and modern, providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I recently booked an appointment for my boyfriend as well, and Maria treated him with great style and patience too. She is truly a professional hairstylist and my go-to stylist from now on!

Cindy H. Do I got the Korean style hair spa treatment from Tiffany and had the loveliest time. Tiffany was attentive and kind, even providing me with a blanket when I was feeling chilly. My scalp feels so clean and my hair feels so soft- I highly recommend getting a hair spa session from Tiffany!

Lingling Wu I had a fantastic experience with Maria! She did an amazing job touching up my hair color and giving me a fresh haircut. I have dark brown Asian hair, and she matched the color perfectly, making it look natural and vibrant. Maria is not only skilled but also incredibly friendly and attentive to details. She took great care to ensure everything was just right, and I truly appreciated her precision and professionalism. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for expert hair care!

Yuhan Ma I had such a great experience with Maria! She understands what kind of haircut I want with only a few words, and she’s very talented. She made my hair look so voluminous and healthy, and the cut shapes my face so well. Plus, the washing experience there feels like heaven.

Robert Min Been coming here for men’s haircut for a few months now. Best Korean haircut I’ve found in the area that can do your typical trending Asian haircuts. I get a two block with short fade on the sides and back a little longer fade. I’ve seen him do some wolf cuts and perms that looked good too. You can book online or by phone and if you don’t speak Korean I’d recommend you show pictures of exactly what you want so there’s no misunderstanding. You get a cut, then shampoo with scalp massage and a style for $40 +tip = $50 total (short hair). Best deal on this quality of a cut you’ll find!

EUNKYUNG KIM Very first time w this shocking color!! Everybodys eyes got bigger w my new K POP style and touched my hair to check hair condition. Shine and soft, no damage!!!!! I finally got the best designer. Will enjoy all changes!!! Thanks to all in RICH K Hair Salon for high quality of services!!! Few weeks after, final color that I wanted!!! Hair adventure per my coworker!!! The designer created this color perfect!!!! He did his best not to have that much hair damage with these coloring. People love it!!!

Jungsik Kim This was my first time getting a perm in California, and I’m really happy with the result! The stylist, Mr.Choi, who has over 35 years of experience, did an amazing job. His expertise and attention to detail gave me exactly the hairstyle I wanted. The salon has such a kind and relaxed atmosphere, and I’m planning to get my haircuts here from now on. It’s truly a hidden gem that thrives through word of mouth rather than advertising!

Qianhui Fan 店主夫妇和他们孩子都懂中文，他们孩子的中文更是超级好! The hair salon is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable, and has a great style. The owners, a lovely couple, are very friendly, adorable, and professional. They design hairstyles based on face shape and hair texture. Prior to haircutting, they provide a hair wash service, and during the haircut, they even offer complimentary beverages. Whats even more impressive is that they have lived in China for many years and can understand Chinese. Their daughter is fluent in Chinese as if it were her native language. The experience was excellent, and I will definitely come again next time.

Britney Eng I rarely leave reviews unless I am absolutely happy with the final product and that is exactly what I got after leaving Christys salon! I went in my first time for a correction cut after a horrible cut at another salon. She made me feel very welcome and fixed my hair which I didnt think could be done. A few months later I go in for a routine cut and she made my hair look amazing! She is very knowledgeable and guides you through how to take care of your hair or style your hair as well which I think is really helpful. I tell her that I want long layers and face framing pieces and she understands and delivers! I am extremely happy with the cut and am looking forward to my next one from Christy!

Deepthi V I had an amazing experience today and couldnt wait to share my thoughts to help others decide if they should book an appointment--spoiler alert: you absolutely should! This was my first visit having just moved here from Singapore, and let me tell you, Christy was an absolute gem. From the moment I met her, she made me feel completely at ease. She was professional, efficient, and so thoughtful in tailoring her technique to suit my hair and it’s texture. Her attention to detail took the entire experience to the next level. Honestly, Christy should be so proud of the amazing work shes doing. I feel incredibly lucky to have randomly booked an hair appointment with her--talk about a happy accident! Im officially hooked and will be coming back here forever. Also, I would really like to appreciate Brianna who assisted during my hair session as she also did an excellent job and was very gentle with it. Thank you, Christy and Brianna, for being incredible at what you do! Keep up the fantastic work--youve earned yourself a lifelong fan!

Thompson Nguyen I had a great experience at Hue Beauty Salon, thanks to Christy! Her assistant started by giving me a really nice wash and shampoo, which left my hair feeling fresh and clean. I came in wanting a perm and showed Christy some reference photos, but she explained that my hair was too short for the look I was after. Instead of just saying no, she offered an alternative that worked perfectly for me. Christy cut and shaped my hair in a way that will grow into the style I want, and she even showed me some techniques with a flat iron to create a similar look in the meantime. While I can’t quite recreate the style at home, I walked out of the salon looking and feeling like a new man—full of youth and confidence! Christy’s attention to detail and styling expertise made all the difference. Highly recommend her and the salon. I’ll definitely be coming back! Update 29JAN2025: Christy has done it again! After months in the making, we finally achieved the perm I originally envisioned when I first came to her—and I couldn’t be happier! I’m absolutely in love with my new hair, and it’s all thanks to Christy’s expertise. What truly sets her apart is her deep knowledge and years of experience. She really knows what she’s doing, and it shows in her work. At first, I was hesitant about getting a men’s haircut at Hue Beauty Salon since it seemed more tailored to women’s styles. But after seeing the results and getting to know Christy, I can confidently say I’ll be coming back to her for every cut. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy stylist!

Ashley Jung ive never been more satisfied with a new hairstyle until i went to hue beauty salon! my hair was damaged and not well maintained after bleaching it twice, and christy fixed it up really well. i went in with dry, flat hair and came out with luscious, voluminous locks. you can trust christy with your hair because she is definitely knowledgeable and skillful. shes also really friendly and funny! overall, i really recommend hue beauty salon :D

Vanessa Pais Highly Recommend!! I was going to be coloring my hair after more than 5 years before a work trip and was very nervous but Christy went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Just from sharing pictures of my old hair with Christy and discussing what I was going for over the initial call, I could tell she had a good plan for where she wanted to take this. I also loved that she agreed with me on a budget that I felt comfortable with. During the appointment with Christy she was detail oriented, focussed and yet so warm and friendly at the same time. I could tell she was so passionate about the hair coloring and so excited for this transformation for me Most importantly, I absolutely love how my hair came out and cant stop admiring it. I received so many compliments. She also gave me so many tips on how I could ensure the color lasts for a long time and improvement of hair quality that I badly needed. Highly recommend Christy to anyone seeking any hair related transformation. She is a true expert and game changer that you dont find very often.

Hai Garcia Tami is great I have been coming here for a few years now. She does a great job!

James G I have been going to Tami’s for years and love it. No I have introduced my wife to Tami’s and we both love it and come on weekends to get our pedicure and My wife gets her nails done. Everybody there does a wonderful job, they are very friendly and professional.

James Garcia I stumbled into Tamis many yours ago

Agustín López grijalva Good place to get a haircut

Nathan Winston I visited Amy for a mens haircut after hearing several recommendations in the San Jose area, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Everything was seamless - from the ease of booking an appointment online to stepping into her shop. Amy is professional, friendly, and highly organised. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a skilled and personable hairstylist!

Katherine McClish Today I had a consultation with Amy and it was great! I brought a picture of what I wanted color and length wise. I’ve never had extensions and she reviewed all the options available with me and made sure I understood what the maintenance and after care would be for each option. She went through the hair colors and style in detail with me. She made me feel comfortable and I’m looking forward to my install next week!

Julie Brodeur I wanted my hair cut short for a change, but my last stylist said it would look bad on me. Anyway, I found Amy, and she doesnt mind cutting my hair short. I just got a super cute edgy cut that Im very happy with! Shes also a cool, nice person.

Tiana coe It’s always a great experience getting my hair done by Amy. Her welcoming personality really makes you feel comfortable right away. She loves her job and loves making people feel good about themselves. She really goes above and beyond and I always leave feeling a million times better and more confident with a positive outlook on life and looking amazing with a new hairstyle.

April O I have been coming here to get my hair done for years. I haven’t been happier! Amy knows exactly what I want. I recommend all my friends and family here.

liyan I had an amazing experience at Nana’s Hair Salon & Spa! Nana’s skill and artistic flair gave me the most stylish haircut. She gave me a stylish haircut that not only suited my face perfectly but also matched my personal style. She has magic hands to make my thin hairs look a lot more fuller and stylish. She even took the time to show me how to style it myself at home, which was so helpful and something I haven’t often experienced in other salons. The salon is beautiful decorated. Don’t forget to visit the backyard, a beautiful oasis with art and sculptures, such a peaceful spot to unwind. For top-notch service and creativity in a relaxing setting, I highly recommend Nana’s!

linda silva Nana is so knowledgeable and knows exactly what she is doing. I went in for a haircut but didn’t want so much of my length cut off. It came out just the way I wanted it to. Thank you Nana!

Jayashree sampath It’s been 5 years - Nana is an amazing, caring and wonderful person. She listens to what you want and gives you exactly that. The best part is to enjoy her company.

Fatima Bishtawi Nana is amazing! She gave me the exact cut I asked for & blow dried in under 40 minutes - unheard of for my long thick hair. She is also so kind and gave tips for how to properly style along the way. And, she was able to accommodate my restrictions with my headscarf. She is probably the best hair dresser I’ve been to and I will continue to come to her! Her prices are also extremely fair & reasonable.

Clove Nana is a spectacular and skilled hairstylist! I highly recommend her for haircuts! She makes sure she knows what her client wants before giving the haircut. She is very patient and understanding, and friendly to top it off! I have gone to her many times for my haircuts and loved every of my haircuts! Thank you Nana!
