Grace! To the rescue!! I needed a precision cut hairdresser to help me figure out WHAT kinda of cut to get while growing out the prior lame haircut. I was very nervous about booking yet another new hairdresser. I had been caught in haircut hell after the pandemic. My long time hairdresser retired and left me spinning in awful haircuts over and over. I had about given up. I reached out and made the appt based on Grace's reviews here on Yelp. I arrived and Grace was instantly personable and down to earth. She has a great warm vibe at the get go. The parking and haircut pricing were all very good too! Grace understood what I wanted and we worked out a game plan for my ideal style going forward. She got busy with her careful cut- and at the end I'm very happy with my haircut!!! And my new hairdresser!!!! She's a keeper!!!!!

I came to get a copper balayage and the results are amazing. Silvia was very nice and helped me picked out the colors that best suited my skin color. Im very happy with the results and will definitely go back there again.

Very basic haircut - no frills. Service was fine. I was hoping to leave with a bit more of a salon look & feel for $75. No product or styling & when I asked for any sort of volume help, I was told they didn't have any product available. Nothing overtly wrong, but pretty underwhelming.

For quite awhile now, I have gone to Sol Salon. Jan, who is a co-owner of the business, is a rock star stylist! Honestly, she truly knows how to cut and style wavy and curly hair. In my 50+ years I have met a few who truly do not...My hair is wavy and the friend who recommended her to me has gorgeous natural curls and Jan does a fantastic job with her hair, too. She is easy to talk to about what kind of cut I want and makes sure that we understand one another BEFORE she touches my hair. As well, when I told her that I was considering covering up my grays (only have grays around my face) we talked about it and I decided to wait. How cool is that!? Jan wants what is best for her customers, not the priciest style. She is very down to Earth, fun to talk to, as well. WIN - WIN.

Okay, until I found this salon, I actually thought I would never find a salon that could turn my thick, black, coarse, bountiful hair into a edgy, but chic thing! And Grace at Sol salon did just that!!!!! In all the cities I've been to, I have never once felt excited or satisfied about my haircut and not even with pictures were some of them able to give me the cut I hoped it would be! And then just like that I find someone at walking distance to my place! And this was last minute appointment I got due to a cancellation and due to some miscommunication on my part, the salon thought they could fit me into a 45 minute slot! And Grace was so quick and her technique so fab that despite the volume of hair, she did the most fabulous job I could have asked for! Going back every single time I need a hair service!

I showed up at my appointment time but they were closed/ 2 days in a raw that they canceled. I kept on calling no answer. I don’t appreciate you guys wasting my time, at lease call and tell me you guys can’t do it.

I'm so happy to have found a local salon with great stylists. I had met Jan at the Conservatory (the coffeeshop next door) before the pandemic, when I was still driving out to Alhambra for haircuts. When I needed one on very short notice in the fall of 2020, Grace was so kind as to squeeze me in, and she did a fabulous job. Things were a bit hectic, so I can't give as many specifics, but she was great. I finally got my hair cut by Jan recently and was very happy with the haircut she gave me. I really appreciate her experience and ability to work from very little guidance ('Um...long? With layers?) to vision and create a flattering hairstyle that still looks good a couple months later and is easy to care for. She really seemed to hear what I was saying and was great at communicating throughout. We were still dealing with the Covid restrictions at the time, but the salon felt very safe and comfortable. I'm so glad I found Sol Salon, and I highly recommend both Grace and Jan.

Grace did an outstanding job cutting my hair! She fixed a really botched haircut I got at Great Clips. Jan highlighted my hair. It, too was an outstanding job. I recommend this salon highly.

I had my hair cut by Silvia and it turned out exactly how I wanted it! Short with tons of layers & thinning at the bottom. She's a pro I recommend this place!!

TL;DR I'm glad that Sylvia prioritized the health of my hair, but I feel like the time and expense wasn't worth the-less-than-stellar outcome. That being said, $240 was a great price for cut + single color+ highlights, so I guess you get what you pay for + I'm glad the outcome was too subtle rather than too dramatic! Overall, I would return to her for a haircut, but not color since she seemed to lack the confidence or maybe didn't want to spend the time initially given I was her last client of the day. I consulted with Christina at Simply Glamour for an appt today, who recommended a balayage for $275 - $300 after seeing my photos, so hopefully I get what I'm looking for after spending so much in total this time! This was my first time dyeing my hair, so I brought plenty of photos, including pics of me with a few shades using a virtual try-on app. I asked to book enough time because I wasn't sure if dyeing my virgin hair would take the amount of time required for a single-process color, balayage, or something else, and what I needed for the look I wanted to achieve. I was happy when I got time with Sylvia as the last client of the day, and was ensured that time wouldn't be a problem. I arrived 10 mins late after giving a heads-up, and she was very understanding of that! The salon looked clean and well kept and I was asked to take my temp and we were both wearing masks the entire time although Sylvia's was falling past her nose a few times; I was the only client in the shop at the time and it was super quiet. I showed her what I wanted, and she expressed concern that since I had healthy hair, I might want to be careful of how light I go in one session to avoid my hair looking brassy (totally made sense to me!), so we went with a temporary color all over--my hair ended up looking the exact same. She said that this is a natural look, it would look more brown in the sun, it was too dark in the salon, and that going with a lighter and more permanent color would lead to harsh roots. At this point, while I appreciated her candor, I wasn't excited about my first-time experience and wasn't sure why Sylvia was discouraging me from the look that I wanted. After I mentioned this wasn't what I wanted, we went with a permanent dye that she said had to stay for 20 mins, she was going to rinse it off in 15, but I asked for longer--only for it to look the same again. 2.5 hours of dyeing, washing, and blowdrying 2x had gone by, so I just wanted to wrap up my appt, but Sylvia wanted to make sure that I was a happy client so we did some face framing baby lights and she did a great job with trimming my hair! I knew we were late into the appt, so didn't have time to do highlights all over and she forgot to do the face framing layers I asked for 2x, but it ended up looking like my hair being essentially the same color all over with a subtle money piece. As a first timer, I think it would've been great if colorists educated their clients on what they were doing through each step (bc I was nervous and my scalp burned after we used permanent color after washing my hair) and how to maintain the color, esp so I can say what kind of processes I've had done at my next salon appt, but I kept having to ask Sylvia about what products were used, how to care, etc. Also, I could have been wearing it incorrectly, but the salon may need capes with better coverage, because the back of my t-shirt was soaked by the end of the appt. I was surprised she rubbed my hair instead of blotting after washes since it's not good for it, but also bc the towel kept getting caught in my earrings when doing that (ouch!).

Had an appointment scheduled, even received confirmation text... and then was turned away because apparently the stylist didn't work there.

I now have faith in achieving a great bayalage, thanks to Faith! Her technique is meticulous and well worth the 3 hour appointment IMO. I have been here one other time when Vanessa was here but sadly I heard she has gone off to better stylist pastures. Initially my color seemed a bit too dark but after a couple washes I could see the beautiful purple/burgundy hues pop out in the sunlight just in time for Valentine's Day. I feel like a new woman! Thank you!

More than I'm used to paying for a haircut, but I'm addicted. Sol Salon cuts my hair and I've never gotten so many compliments. This is truly worth the extra you pay.You get it back in spades.

If I give this place anything but 5 stars it will be a huge disservice. I have thick curly hair and have salon hopping for a long time now looking for that someone who can give me more than just a hair trim in layers. I've even been to those 'supposedly' exclusive curly hair salons that cut my pocket more than my hair ! I've been to Sol Salon earlier and never had an unpleasant experience. However this one time I wasn't entirely pleased with my haircut. The first lady who cut my hair asked me to come back if I did not like my hair cut. I took her for her word and I went back first thing next day morning. I met Grace , (also the owner) and told her about my previous evening at the salon. She offered to take care of it for me. Amazing 'Grace' literally and figuratively! She gave me an adorable adorbes cut - that's only bringing compliments my way:) She did not charge me a penny even though she spent another hour cutting my already short hair into this adorbes cut . On the contrary she added some pennies to the parking meter :) If this is not AMAZING customer service , what is ???
