Maria is the best

Those of us with curly hair have all experienced the challenge of finding a good stylist. My search is over! Maria gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had! (The one other was outside the Bay area.) On top of that, Maria is super friendly and pleasant.

I reopened my Yelp account JUST to make sure I write this review and give 5 STARS for everything Maria did for me today! My regular hair type: long, thick, chemically styled In other words, beautiful almost 100% of the time. The story of why I was devastated with what I was walking in with IS A LONG ONE but just know my hair was something out of a sad movie right before I met Maria. I had gotten nice highlights in August and fast forward to yesterday when the same hair artist decided to throw ASH BROWN on top of my highlights (on top of her OWN WORK, at a different salon). I explained my entire situation to Maria -there were so many different kinds of chemical/product issues with my hair- and she offered not one but MULTIPLE solutions to make things better when I was close to just giving up. We decided on the simplest/quickest option for my circumstances and I couldn't believe my eyes when she was finished. All I have to say is Maria knew exactly what to do to make my hair even more beautiful than when I had originally gotten the highlights. This would not have been possible without her HIGH LEVEL OF PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE, TECHNIQUE, AND SKILL. Needless to say, Maria is a hair stylist with integrity and RESPECT not just for hair but also for a person's time and money and this is so important to EVERY CLIENT IN THE WORLD. Maria is truly way above your average stylist. Thank you so much I am definitely coming back for my follow-up services! Also, I also met Eric the owner, he ACKNOWLEDGED me and my presence and engaged with us to discuss my situation which was so comforting. Thank you for everything.

Eric is absolutely a master stylist! Love the salon, it's clean, people are great, he does an amazing job! He supports the community, has a Toys For Tots drive each Christmas, so you can drop off toys locally. A good soul that is amazing at his profession! And I love my hair, with his help ;)

This is such a quiet relaxing place to enjoy while I get my hair done. Debi Cresci is a fabulous stylist who does an amazing job on cuts and color. I highly recommend calling her if you are in need of a short or long cut and a great color. I have short hair and absolutely love the way she cuts it, and she knows how to color it so it looks natural, which it exactly what I want!!

If you want your hair to look its best, call and make an appointment with Debi!! Debi has been cutting and coloring my hair for more than 40 years.

Easy parking, refreshments and very nice people. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

I have been getting my hair done by this salons newest addition Jessica Larue for over 3 years, and she is by far the best hair stylist i have ever been to. Jessica understands the clients vision and translates is perfectly before your eyes. My hair is not only healthier since going to Jess but it is also much prettier and more natural looking. I haven't been to Jessica at this new salon yet but I will definitely make it a point to drive ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE WEST SIDE for her!!! Do yourself a favor and give Jess a shot. You wont regret it :)

Salon Realta in Belmont isn't huge, but intimate and relaxing, which I like. Best of all is my stylist, Debi. The magic she does on my short hair with highlights and a superb cut never disappoints. Plus, she's a friendly, fun person to talk to -- all reasons why I followed her from her previous salon in San Carlos. Despite the slightly longer drive, it's definitely worth it because she does such a fantastic job on my hair. The salon also offers extras that some other salons do not, such as a cozy lounge area with Keurig coffees, teas, cookies, even champagne in a comfortable and quiet setting. There's also a TV. In the main salon I can browse lovely jewelry hand-picked by the owner--bracelets, earrings, necklaces, as well as items of clothing, like toppers, vests and scarves--all at reasonable prices. For parking there is a lot across the street and 4-hour street parking as well, which may be adequate. Since I'm new, I'm not sure if parking will be an issue. I highly recommend Salon Realta, which is close to shops and restaurants on Ralston Avenue. It's a lovely salon and I look forward to my appointments.

I have been going to Debi for years. She is now at Salon Realta, which is a lovely little salon in Belmont. Parking was easy, atmosphere was great, and of course Debi gives my short straight hair (with a mind of it's own) the best haircut ever! I wouldn't go to anyone else but her!

Best Salon on the Peninsula. Eric Taylor is such a Pro, he's been doing my hair for over 20 years. Even when I went thru my Cancer & lost all my hair, he got me a beautiful wig & he styled It for me. He is my Angel �
