Reviews

  I have been going here for over a year, almost two and I am now just getting to writing my review! I keep forgetting, but better late than nevaaa!

This is the go-to place for attaining your hair dreams. No argument! I have been to a variety of different hair salons before finding myself here trying to find someone who can get my blonde right! Now that I found my place, I am never going to go to anyone else.

I'm not gonna lie, sometimes I get a little ambitious with how light I want my hair to get in one session/how much change I want from my last babylights session, but My always lets me know what we can do in one session while still maintaining the health of my hair. It ALWAYS ends up better than I expected and my hair isn't feeling like hay afterwards.

She has such a finesse when it comes to hair coloring -- the very first time I came in I had "tiger stripes" (different shades of blonde/orange, yes I had ORANGE hair) and she gave me the most beautiful purple hair that faded to a beautiful silver with a couple of washes. How the heck do you get from my ugly clown hair to cohesive, dimensional hair?! I swear she's like magic! My hair has only been getting better with time, and I never leave unsatisfied.

Everyone on staff I've interacted with is just as professional and sweet! I can't wait until my next hair date!

  I love My and her team! Everyone is super talented and friendly. The fact that I willingly drive down to San Jose from Oakland every time shows how amazing My Stylist Salon is. I've been going to My's for the past 2 years and there's no one else I trust to color it.

It's true that My charges a bit more than other salons, but it's 100% worth it. You get what you pay for so don't cheap out on your hair! If you get a bad haircut or coloring job, you can't really hide it! The reassurance that I leave the salon with amazing hair, that looks exactly like the pictures I show her, makes the drive + price worthwhile.

If you're thinking about trying out My's, keep your eyes out on their IG (@mystylist_salon) for promos w/ her stylists in training! She usually runs promos ranging from $200 for a balayage to -$50 for service. Don't get scared about having a stylist-in-training work on your hair! My is there every step of the process to guide them and if you're unhappy with the results, My will fix it up for you for free!

Bonus: She has an adorable little Yorkie that wanders around the salon. He'll snuggle in your lap if you ask!

  I had never gotten my hair professionally colored before and was considering getting a balayage sometime this year. A lot of my friends are clients here at My Stylist Salon so I knew the salon was good quality! I was hoping to grow my hair out a bit longer before pulling the trigger, but I found out about a discounted balayage offered by Lily for new client hair models, so I booked the appointment.

Lily was super sweet and made me feel super comfortable. I'm not super crazy about my hair (I figured if I ever do something to my hair I don't like, I can always dye it back to black or cut my hair), but I had a few reference photos to show her what I wanted. She helped me figure out which style, color, and tone of balayage would be more attainable for my hair and got right to work! You could tell she was still kind of new to the process and was a new stylist at the salon, but that didn't bother me. My hair took a total of 3 hours from start to finish including drying and styling my hair. The end result was a lot lighter than I thought was attainable but that's okay because I'm eventually trying to go pink so I'll have to lighten even more in the future. Overall I think Lily did a pretty good job! My only advice is to bring in precise reference photos for what you want; I had a few photos I liked that were pretty different, so I think Lily had to improvise off of my vague directions.

Loved the customer service here, especially the atmosphere. The salon has great music playing, the stylists talk to each other like best friends, and there's even a little yorkie that walks around the salon. They offer a selection of hot and cold drinks to refresh yourself with during your appointment. My is super sweet and I can tell she's an amazing stylist and business owner; she injured her ankle that morning but was still around the whole day, limping around while making sure everything was in order. I hope she's gotten it checked up! Thanks again My and Lily for the great first session, hopefully I'll be back in a few months!

  Let me 1st say I have NOT gotten my hair professionally done in over 4-5 years and only get a trim every 2-3 years. It's so sad to feel like I can't go anywhere to get my hair did  My cousin found Mystylist threw a family friend. And we both booked with Cadence and I was so uhhh at 1st. But let me be the one to tell y'all I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I live in San Diego and flew to the bay just to see what this place was about. I do not regret it at all!! Cadence broke down how to get my hair the way I want it. I did use a box dye on my hair and she was able to exceed my expectations in 1 session!! It is really worth the trip. My and her squad are all amazing. The way the salon is set up and ran is amazing. I've never been anywhere where they work so close as a team. No one ever asked "do you need help" they just got each other's back and did want was needed yoYou'll never see a salon like this. Their dynamic is amazing. Customer service is amazing. #issavibe I will be flying out for another session in a few months! I can't wait. This place is the HOLY GRAIL #Mystylistsalon #sandiego to #sanjose this review can go on and on because it's not hard to rant and talk about it. Cadence you is the real MVP!!! See you soon boo

It's been alittle over a year and I've been threw some thangs. And I was able to finally come see Cadence!!! Ahhh it's like I've been going there for years!!! But when I 1st saw her last year she did a balayage and it was amazing. Then sometime during January I decried to CHOP most off all my hair and most of the color got chopped too. But since it's been 9 months since I cut it and I'm much better physically. I was able to to fly in for the day for Cadence to work her MAGIC!!! i live in San Diego and I fly in for the day. SHE IS WORTH IT AND I COULDNT FIND ANYWHERE ELSE THAT COULD COMPARE!!!

  This was my first time coming here and I loved it  Serena was so easy going and great to talk to. I could tell she really put her time and effort Into my hair. She toned my hair but it didn't turn out ashy enough because my hair is really stubborn 🙁 but she offered to go back in and tone it again and I don't know many hair stylist that I've been to in the past who would've put in the extra work to do that for me. Overall awesome experience and I would highly recommend Serena, she was new to the salon but she's super skilled as a stylist!!!!! Would def make the trip down to San Jose from SF to have her do my hair again 🙂

  This review is for scheduling issues with this salon. Any time I tried to schedule and appointment, I got told many reasons why I was not welcome. No new client on weekend, 1st time client - no toner only, need to go with balayage all over again, etc. etc.
I don't think I'll give this one a try ever again.
Every time I'm asked for a pic of my hair, any time I send it, I'm told the service I want is not suitable. Why? Not sure! Many other salons do just as good job and make me feel welcome.

  Super happy with my hair results! I just moved from New Jersey where I got my hair done once every 3 months but I loved My and her team, they gave me the hair that I dreamed of and will definitely go back in 3 months to hopefully get it more gray ombré! The spot is cute too. Everyone is super friendly.

  This is my second session here and they always do a great job!! They are friendly and so nice. My is a life saver, definitely one of my favorite hair stylist/colorist ever! Love this place, thank you!

  I found this highly recommeded with so many positive and glowing reviews on IG.  I wanted to try it for my wedding.  Judy was my stylist and we talked through The style that I wanted. I actually had balayage in mind, but after showing her pictures of what I was going for, she recommended babylights.

She was SO right!  And she did an amazing job.  My hair waa perfect for the ceremony.  I'm so happy!  

 !

  My and her team are amazing! They blessed my hair and im so in love. I was scared to go really light since I have never bleached my hair before, but they reassured me that it would look good! When walking in the vibe is so chill and everyone is so nice and welcoming.
My suggested to do a balayage for my first session then babylights for the rest of my sessions. I currently have done 2 sessions and my suggested one more to get to my hair goal! Cant wait to do my 3rd session
I highly recommend to go to My and her team if you ever decide to have a change with your hair because its so worth it. You wont be disappointed
