Best Hair Salons In San Mateo

“Maggie is the best! Thanks to her, I get compliments on my haircut all the time. Followed her to the new San Mateo location…will be following her wherever she goes, she can’t get rid of me, hehe!“

“Lorena always knows JUST what to do to create a fresh and fab look for me. I have multiple cowlicks and she’s able to tame them and give me a sassy, spiky ‘do every time!“

“This review is for Lyn. I had been going to salons recommended by friends in San Francisco, Santa Clara and some in between for the last couple years. Every time I showed the hair dresser how I wanted my hair style to look on my phone. They glanced at it and cut my hair the way they wanted/knew how. I could usually tell where things went wrong (when they started cutting my hair horizontally), but I was half way thru the cut already and had to console myself that I could look for a new salon next time. My search can stop now (sigh of relief). Yesterday Lyn gave me a cut I was finally happy with! She asked to see the look on my phone half way thru the hair cut, trying to ensure she gave me the result I wanted. And she succeeded. She seems very experienced with my straight coarse hair, saying she would trim it just so to give it movement. And she succeeded again! Thanks again, Lyn!“

“Its been a pleasure to have Dinna styling my hair for years, and she is truly exceptional. With over 25 years of experience, she understands that no two heads of hair are the same. She takes the time to ask questions, learn your hair’s history, and tailor both cut and color to your specific texture, condition, and goals, without causing damage.

My daughter and I both see her, and she consistently delivers beautiful, healthy results every time. She has a deep knowledge of hair, color, and how different chemicals interact, which gives me total confidence in her work.

On top of that, she has a wonderful personality and makes every appointment enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely understands hair and cares about getting it right, Dinna is the one.“

“I’m very happy with my hair cut. Vera explained the process of getting my hair where I want it to be leaving me with no more questions to ask. I look forward to booking my next visit with her.“

“I always get a great haircut and it's a very comfortable environment for all ages and genders.“

“Emily did such an amazing job! I’ve had very fine and thin hair my entire life but was so intimidated by hair extensions, toppers, etc. I was never able to wear the hairstyles I wanted and my hair has always been something I’m self conscious about, but at the same time I hesitated to do anything about it because I worried it wouldn’t look natural. Emily’s custom color couldn’t have turned out more perfect and I absolutely love my new hair! It blends so seamlessly with my own hair and feels like it always belonged on my head. It’s me but better! The consultation was a super positive experience and really changed my perspective on my fine hair struggles.“

“Kelly is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. So glad I found her! She has an array of options and will work with you to get you what you need.“

“When in for the first time on Saturday. Karen and the other ladies were so friendly and welcoming, which made me feel comfortable. Danielle, aka Danny, did my hair. She is a very excellent hairstylist. She will explain everything you need to know about hair care and maintenance. She is also very experienced in cutting your hair into a style of your choice. The shop is clean and they have a nail bar in the shop as well which is excellent! The salon is in an excellent location which makes it cool if you need to pick up a few things at the grocery store or you just want a . I definitely will be back.“

Her prices are reasonable.“

“I did my haircut + perm at Revolution Hair Studio and Owen is an amazing styler! I used to only perm my hair in Koreatown, Los Angeles with stylers that literally designed hair for kpop idols. I haven't been able to find anyone that has that level of ability in the Bay Area until Owen. In fact, I believe Owen is even better. If you are looking for men's perm, look no further than Owen as he is truly passionate about his work!“

“Vickie is the best hairstylist and one of the nicest people I know. She is so sweet and patient. I have known her for almost 10 years now and does an excellent job coloring and straightening my hair. I highly recommend her.“

“Allen T. was very professional and on time for Bob style hair cuts twice now. We were in total communications. The Semi-perm hair coloring I had in between the 2 hair cuts could be improved though. I thought Allen was suppose to ask me what color I wanted first. Instead, he chose a semi-perm hair color that was, as it turned out, right for me. The location was good for me and the place was clean & spacious. The hair cuts, especially the 2nd one, were the right length for me & the sideway bangs allowed me to dry without pins or hairspray to hold in place! Love that!“
