“Alexia is absolutely amazing! As a naturally dark brunette, I’m super picky about how my hair is lightened. I have had some bad experience in the past. Alexia pays attention to the details all the way through - from the color, cut, and style. She listens to all my concerns and delivers exactly what I ask for. She is so easy to talk to - so personable and educated on hair. I never leave disappointed! I will be her client for years to come! And, Stem Salon has all of the products you need to maintain in one place. Because of Stem I am a die hard Kerastase fan now and I have tried a lot of hair care products in my lifetime. Thank you Alexia and Stem! 🩷 the lighting in my home is heinous at this hour but just look at that blending… and it’s as soft as it looks due to the kerastase in-salon treatment.”

“We always go to Eunice and she is great. She knows our son’s hair so well and during this last visit she cut his long hair which was shoulder length and he loved it. Also when he’s been fussy in the past she is so patient with him. Your desk staff is also nice and great with the kids.”

“I am a newer client at Sweet Jane salon. I brought in pixie haircut photos I liked to show Norman, talented stylist extraordinaire. Norman designed a unique pixie cut style that suited my hair quality and face shape. I was so delighted with the stylish end result which is easy to maintain and has grown out beautifully, until my next pre-scheduled appointment. The salon itself is welcoming, relaxing and cozy. Sweet Jane is Sweet- and so is Norman!”

“Small spa in the Southbay. Tubs are a good temp and the sauna and steam room are decent size. Very well kept and clean. I didn't make it upstairs to the common rooms and food areas. Worth a visit, I'll try the scrub next time.”

“The staff at Ricks are amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. Jasmine has been cutting my hair and she’s honestly one of the best barbers I have ever met! I have had my hair cut but at least 5 barbers there and they are all just as good! Thank you!!! JP”

”I’ve been coming here for well over a decade and I couldn’t imagine having to look for another barber in the city. I’m not very picky and am always able to walk in throughout the week. I trust all the barbers here to do a great job for hair or beard.”

”I’ve gotten 2 tattoos done with Taylor and I will probably never go anywhere else! She does amazing work and is very friendly and accommodating. She’s super helpful and had sample printed out, ready to go when I got there. (A couple different sizes and fonts to see which worked best) The environment in the shop is great! I always feel comfortable when there, all around great vibes from all artists there. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to have some work done!!”

39185 Farwell Dr, Fremont, CA 94538, United States

”So disappointed with my partial highlight in this salon. My hair was supposed to get a silver-ashy highlight but I came back with the same hair color that I entered the salon. My hair is partially gray so it might need more professional work to get it colored, but still no reason to use more color and have me pay $200 for a $170 work. You tell me if you can see one highlight on this hair:”

21991 El Toro Rd, Lake Forest, CA 92630, United States

”Made an appointment for Monday. Even though it says closed, online you can still make appointments for Monday. I even called and asked to make sure I can make an appointment for Monday and the guy on the phone said yes we still take appointments. Show up at 10 today and no one's there. Very unprofessional.”

”Highly recommend The Rose Barbershop! I came across this shop recently due to the other great reviews posted and glad I did. I booked my appointment with Brenden and he did an amazing job. He cut it exactly how I wanted and from a personal recommendation Brenden offered it came out even better than expected. Highly recommend booking with him. The shop was busy with all barbers taking care of their clients but in a very organized manner. The shop is clean, great vibe and I will be booking again for sure! The only feedback I would provide is offer card payment or venmo. I am one that hardly pays with cash but at least there was an ATM available inside. I found my go to place!”

Palomar St, Chula Vista, CA 91911, United States

”First barbershop that is properly ran, professional, attentive and care about new and regular customers. Haircuts are awesome, my husband, 9yr old and 1 1/2 yr old came here for the first time the day before father's day, and got the best haircuts in a few yrs. No more barber searching. (FYI I always find something wrong with the cuts they get and I couldn't find anything wrong with these) great job thanks!!”

”I am one of those people that has a hard time getting their hair cut. I often feel unheard by my stylist when I try someone new. Chri was so patient and kind with me. She made me feel completely at ease. I tend to like a classic cut. She gave me exactly what I wanted and made recommendations for things I’d like to try with her in the future.My hair is the type that shows where it’s cut and she knew exactly how to blend her work.The salon itself is light and airy, a truly relaxing environment. The staff was lovely.It’s the best feeling to love your hair after a visit to the stylist and I love my hair.”

”Carlos is great! My 15 year old son came in for (what he thought) would be a great new haircut. It wasn't lol. Carlos delivered, but gave my son the option to come back IF he decided he didn't like the new do. Carlos was more than helpful in cleaning him up. We have been here a few times in the past and will definitely continue to come for the service.”

453 N Western Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90004, United States

”Jasson at the shop.I requested in my appointment to not brush on my face, and he does exactly that. I message him on his Instagram if he can not do that next time. And instead of trying to work that out he just tells me to find a different barber. And, I give him a $10 tip and he gives me back my $5 change in 1’s.Awful customer service.He doesn't respect all his customers and he'll treat you differently based off that.”

9054 Elk Grove Blvd, Elk Grove, CA 95624, United States

”This place is awesome! Best haircut I have had in years, if not the best ever ever! Nikki is rad and does a fantastic job and always remembers who I am even if it's been too long between cuts. I won't get my hair cut anywhere else anymore.”
