Shae Paye

Warning! If you don’t want to walk out looking like a freak then please read this review.
I recently tried Shae Paye based on a recommendation and from my terrible experience I hope this helps those to take pause before going to Shae. The hair style I ended up with is so awful I can only buy a wig and have to wear it for the next year until my hair grows out to a length I can even to something with it. Yes, it is that bad!
Shae has posted a review saying I should have called her regarding my awful haircut. Anyone who would give such an awful, freaky haircut does not deserve a call. I am going to have to hide my hair for a year until it grows out. You stated you are the new owner of your salon, you can bet I will not be a return customer! You deserve this review!

Love Shae. Awesome haircut and I love it even more as it grows out. Shows how much care she put into it.

Shae gives you a rock star cut, every time! She is honest with what will /​will not work with your hair, face shape, life style, etc — and even pushes you a bit if you need it! I have been going to Shae for a couple of years — and no matter how long it’s been between cuts, she remembers my hair! I just recently took my curly haired daughter to her after not cutting her hair for over a year (after a series of bad cuts) and Shae worked wonders! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Shea is fabulous!!! She has cut my hair for years and I would not trust it to anyone else. Before I found Shae I would literally dread getting my hair cut. It’s super curly and no one could ever get it right. The cut is great as soon as it’s done (versus other cuts that seemed to feel right). If you are looking for someone who will transform your hair into something amazing give her a call!!! Shelley

Awesome haircut plus she’s super cool. Just got a new salon called Parker salon. Definitely worth a visit.

This is my first haircut by Shae. It’s the best cut that I’ve had in 3 years of searching for a new stylist. There’s no more fighting with my hair every morning. It’s easy to care for and looks great all the time. I highly recommend Shae.

I really enjoyed working with Shae! She listened to my needs and made some suggestions. Sometimes my hair has a mind of its own and I just follow it’s lead. Now I’m in control. Shae also took the time to educated me on hair care, styling tips and hair color that I found very helpful.

Shae is extremely talented! She’s also professional, kind & honest. All the wonderful reviews that lead me to her were spot on! She’s the first stylist I’ve met that really understands what’s feasible and how to attain the image you want. You won’t regret having your hair taken care of by Shae.

I went to Shae for the first time to take a good large chunk off my lengthy hair off. Never regretted it and almost 10 years later I’m still seeing her. She is a true artist with a skill level that I can’t seem to find anywhere else. She has continued to learn the latest techniques and is always such a pleasure to talk to when sitting in the chair. If anyone needs a good do– Shae is your lady.

What can I say… Only wonderful things! Shae has been cutting my hair for 10+ years.
She has cut my kids hair from my daughter being 6 and my son 4. They are now 16 and 14 and still see her on a regular basis.
When I lived in England I was a stylist, so when I moved to the area I was naturally extra picky about getting my hair cut. I first went to Shae when she was at diPiedro Todd salon in Palo Alto. I knew from the very first cut that she knew what she was doing! She is very professional and creative as well as fun and energetic.
I never leave the salon without my next appointment so I can look forward to another wonderful haircut.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Shae. She makes this 40-​something Mom of two look cooler than I thought I could look. Most of the time I leave her salon channeling Victoria Beckham.
I’ve been going to Shae for 12 years, and she has taken my hair from super-​long to super-​short (donating to Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths for cancer). I even waited for her to fly in for the occasional cut when she was living outside the Bay Area for a couple years.
I trust her tastes, her judgement and her cuts. She’s wonderful.

I have known Shae for almost 10 years now and hands down, she is one of the most talented stylists I have ever met. She has a great sense of personal style (I always think that’s key) and a really good eye for creating a cut that works for each individual.
The other thing that’s important to know about Shae is she is that she regularly takes classes to keep her design sense fresh and to continue honing her craft.
Most important, she really listens to what you want and then works her magic.
You will not be disappointed!

Like so many other busy woman, we all want to find the magic product that we can slap on our hair in the morning and get out the door. After years of bouncing around between stylists, cuts, colors and products… I was introduced to Shae and MY WORLD HAS LITERALLY CHANGED. Shae cut my hair exactly one week ago today and the compliments have not stopped, they are pouring in. People are begging me for her information and can not believe that she did not do a keratin treatment or color my hair.
Shae books all of her appointments herself and spends the time chatting with you via phone or email to find a time that works for you. She is also extremely prompt with returning your call or email. She kindly sends you a reminder email of your appointment.
Shae is warm and kind and greets you right away in the salon, no waiting. She is genuinely interested in how you are and can truly incorporate a heartfelt conversation into the session while also, taking the time to completely asses your hair on how it lays, moves, feels and works with your body and skin. She is extremely clever and finds out how much time you will truthfully invest in your hair as she wants you to be successful with your hair and be just as happy with your hair a month from now as your were the day you sat in her chair.
Shae, takes the time to show you how to ACTUALLY style your hair, for the cut she gives you. And not just one way, but several ways. Because no one has the time everyday to do a complete blow out and also, who wants to look the same way everyday? It is so comforting to know that I now have an arsenal of «tools» to quickly style my hair and get out the door when necessary, yet still look amazing.
She makes you feel beautiful and special while you are with her because of who she is, she really is quite a spectacular person. Her positive and high energy is a ridiculous plus. What an amazing bonus to have found someone who can literally do a rock star job on my hair and be someone that I look forward to being around!
Industry Salon, is a gorgeous salon that has only top notch stylists. I did see another excellent stylist at Industry for many years and the Salon is in an excellent location, fantastic service at the front, high end products and all the stylists pride themselves on constant professional development.
What more needs to be said?

I met Shae about 7 years ago. I thought I would never find a stylist who is able to work with me stubborn and cowlick ridden hair. I was wrong. Shae is a true artist. She analyzes your hair, how it falls, how it behaves, and then she does her magic. She doesn’t force the hair to do anything it can’t, she works around any obstacle and the outcome is amazing. I wear my hair very short in a way I never thought was possible.
Shae is also a very good listener and really gives you the style you are looking for. At the same time she is always honest and gives you ideas and feedback but respects what you want.
I receive so many compliments about my hairstyle. Shae is not inexpensive but worth every penny you spend. As long as Shae is in business, she will have me as a most loyal client.

I’ve got difficult, thick hair that’s hard to get right. Shae makes it look easy. She’s the best there is when it comes to texturizing hair and taking the weight out of it. And she’s got a great eye for men’s fashion so she can help you figure out what to do even if you don’t have an idea yourself.

This review is long overdue! When I moved to the US in 2000, I found it impossible to find a hairstylist who didn’t butcher my hair so I’d schedule a trip to LA just to get my hair done. 2002 was the year I met Shae and from that time on, suffice it to say that I never had a bad hair day.
Shae is the only person who understood my hair — where it usually falls and which side, the texture, how stubborn it is and she is the only person who found a way to get it to do what she wants it to do. I challenge her every time because I never want the same hair cut. Every couple of months when I go see her, I want a different look (different hairstyle). She is a perfectionist so sometimes she would spend hours and hours just making sure that my hair is perfect. Watching Shae cut my hair is like watching a graceful ballerina — she has mastered hair styling, she has passion in her eyes, she’s got precision and most importantly, she never assumes. She is the best hairstylist that ever existed in my lifetime. I honestly do not know what I am going to do without her. If you’ve never tried her, give her a chance. You will not regret it or I will give you your money back:))

Shae is AMAZING! No one can cut my hair like she does. She has been my stylist for over 10 years. I have even moved out of the area and make a point to get an appointment with her every time I am in Palo Alto. She is very thoughtful in her cut – she listens to what you want, gets to know you personally so she knows what will work for your life.
Cannot say enough good things about her cuts and personality!

Shae is as good as it gets if you are looking for a smart-​looking, truly professional haircut. She’s a wizard with the scissors, and really knows the idiosyncrasies of hair, no matter what yours is like. Mine is as fine as baby hair and I seem to sprout a new cowlick every month, yet Shae always finds a way to give it shape and body in a cut that still looks great a month later. I get lots of compliments on it. And talk about consistent. You will not be disappointed! Book an appointment with her and you’ll soon see why there are so many of us who have been her loyal clients for more than 15 years.

Shae has been cutting my hair, my sister’s hair, and my mom’s hair for as long as I can remember. She is an AMAZING stylist and you will not regret putting your hair in her hands. Even though I no longer live in Palo Alto, I still seek out Shae whenever I’m home. I have yet to find another hair stylist that can do what she does.
Why is she so good? First, she’s quick. I have very thick hair, and it usually takes lesser stylists 2+ hours to wash, cut, and style. Shae does it all in about an hour. Second, she’s precise. Shae has a great eye, and she always makes sure the hair looks even. Third, she knows how to cut bangs. If there’s anything I’ve learned over the years, it’s that cutting bangs is an art. Shae has absolutely mastered this art.
Shae is not cheap, but her haircuts are worth every penny. She works out of the Industry Salon but also makes house calls!

I couldn’t ask for a better stylist or PERSON to cut my hair. She is a joy to come see, and when she’s done with my hair, I am a joy to see (or so I’ve been told)! ;-) Not only does your hair look great when you leave, but the cut grows out looking great along the way. She truly is an incredible talent and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
