Spallon

I decided to come here after reading all the great reviews, and was not disappointed — Kirsty was absolutely incredible! She gave me the exact cut and color I wanted, a light brown ombré to lighten up and add dimension to my long brown hair. 5 minutes with Kirsty and you can already tell she is passionate as what she does, not to mention incredibly talented. She listened to what I wanted and talked me through everything, so I ended up with exactly what I had in mind. I would definitely recommend this salon!

After 2 days of searching, calling and reading reviews on different Hair Salons, I decided to. come here to Spallon. I was so nervous, this being my first «real haircut» in over 5 years. Lucy was amazing. She listened to how I wanted my hair cut and gave great feedback and suggestions which I gladly accepted. I definitely recommend Spallon and will be referring all my friends and family here.

I have very straight and thick Asian hair and was excited to see that this salon specialized in Asian hair. I went in with high expectations for a cut and color but was not content with the end result. I came out with patchy and streaky coloring and a bad cut. It cost me $ 103 which my hair definitely does not show. Will not return.

Lucy has done my hair twice now and I’ve not been disappointed. Not only it’s she an excellent stylist/​colorist, she is responsive, and accommodated my busy schedule on short notice. Each time, I’ve gone in with a picture and she’s given me exactly what I asked for. The salon is small, quaint, but comfortable and I prefer the cozier atmosphere rather than the larger salons with all the hustle and bustle going on. I referred my mom and she is also very happy with Lucy. (Lucy gave me a free haircut for the referral!) I would definitely recommend Lucy or any of the stylists at this salon.

I went in to get my hair colored. Lucy did an amazing job. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and it came out even better. She made a few suggestions because in the photo the color was a little light. For me, never really dying my hair, it would have been more drastic than I would have wanted it to be. She did her thing and I love everything about it. Lucy is really great at her job and I will be coming back and recommending her to all of my friends. Thanks Lucy!

This was my first time at Spallon, and Lucy was just amaaazzing!!! She literally made me fall in love with my hair again and gave me exactly what I had in mind! I’m so excited to come back to her to try something like a lighter somber! That’s what she suggested, and I’m down for it! Love Lucy! She was the best!

Lucy is awesome! I’m new to the area and have been looking for a decent stylist for the last year, and now I’ve found her. The cut was perfect as was the highlights/​lowlights. Can’t wait to go back!

I live out of town and I needed my hair and makeup done for a wedding. Of course I waited to the last minute to make an appointment and Spallon was so accommodating to get me in. Lucy did my hair and Joleen did my makeup. Both of them were absolutely amazing. They listened to wanted I wanted and they both delivered. My hair and makeup lasted through a hot and humid wedding. Thank you both again for making me feel and look beautiful for a very special event

Went in for my second hair color treatment of my LIFE and decided to try out a new salon. My appt with Jeanine was awesome! I called on Sunday and got an appt for Wed and she was really nice/​prompt by text.
I wanted to get ombré again but she answered all my concerns. Overall, coloring was painless, shampoo & massage relaxing, and haircut was also quick. I love the color! I have black curly hair and went for basically a caramel in two tones. However, I’m not a hair person and don’t go to get my hair done often so it was awesome that she was able to ask the right questions and figure out how to customize the look for me. The treatment came out to $ 100 and I got a free cut as a new customer.
The salon is small but cozy and fitting in the area. I enjoy the usual salon vibe but it was a njce change here as it didn’t feel pretentious and all the stylists were very friendly. I was the last appt of the night so eventually we were the only two left. I was a bit worried that she would slack on the final cut & style as it was past 7.30pm and it’s always hard at the end of the day. But she didn’t cut corners though I know my hair can be quite a feat :).
Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a quality local salon that has great results without burning a gaping hole in your pocket!

I don’t lie when I say the last time I’ve had my hurrrh cut in a professional studio/​salon was when I was 12… and now, over 15 years later and my hair well passed my ass for the last few years, it was just about damn time. Yes, those long days of «long hair don’t care» are just not as exciting when stress and age gets the best of you, and you brush out that hair only to see on your brush covered with enough hair to cover a medium sized yorkshire terrier. Getting back to the point, it’s been quite a damn long time after being traumatized at the hair salon as a kid and I feel partly the reason why I haven’t gone back is possibly the fear of my hair being hacked shttily again.
I was referred on and on again to Sylvia, who has worked at this salon for quite some years now. I contacted her initially, hesitantly, but glad I did… because I immediately gained trust through her professionalism, knowledge, and advice in some of the questions I had about my potential «do». She’s honest and straight to the point, giving advice and tips along the way. She gives a KILLER massage of the neck and scalp btw when washing your hair… which only made me realize how much I need to visit a chiropractor and massage therapist.
I came from having long dark, nontreated, uncolored straight hair passed my ass… to this super cute at-​shoulder length bob, balayaged, and styled to have that loose wave beachy look. I showed her a picture of a style that I liked, and I ended up getting almost the exact thing, but BETTER. I left the salon feeling super excited, more confident, and like a brand new person… a feeling I havent felt in FORfreakinEVER. Days later, I’m still absolutely loving my hair, figuring out new and fun ways to style this do. Lalalalloveee it!
Am I scared of hairstylists? Hell friggen yes. But not Sylvia. She’s a keeper!

This was my second time with Jeanine at Spallon. I texted her on Sunday (She’s really great with responding btw!) and was penciled in for Tuesday morning. HOWEVER, this might have been a miracle because they’re usually booked 1 – 3 weeks out! (This is my only con for Spallon.) So to be safe, make an appointment!
I told Jeanine that I wanted my hair cut and was thinking about coloring. It’s been 11 YEARS since I’ve had any coloring done, so I was kind of nervous about messing with it. She was very helpful and was able to work a sort of caramel ombré in to match my naturally black hair. I LOVED IT!
The greatest part was the shampoo. Based on those 3 – 5 minutes of HEAVEN, you could tell she cares about her clients.
Other stuff:
— Parking: Not bad at all. Many spaces in front at 10am on a Tuesday. It might get a bit crowded later in the day, but I don’t think it’s ever jam-​packed.
— Cleanliness: They seemed to do a quick sweep-​up after cutting someone’s hair. Very clean in my opinion.
— Lobby: The salon itself is a little small. So, I wouldn’t bring a lot of people along to wait for you. There’s a good coffee shop in the same plaza, though.

Love EVERYTHING about Spallon but MOST importantly Jeanine!
I am an avid pool swimmer and sun bunny, so my hair has DAMAGE! I had been going to the same GUY (yes a man) for years. I’ve tried to let other people color and highlight my hair but one was up in the Bay Area and I wasn’t traveling up there every other weekend anymore and the other person I tried in SD turn my hair ORANGE (my highlights), she went a little extreme. So I kept going back to this GUY (in Poway).
He swore he was using Redken, but my I would leave and keep getting bumps on my scalp, if I scratched my head I would have color in my nails for days on end even after I washed my hair, my hair felt like straw, my grey would come threw in A WEEK, MY HAIR WAS HORRIBLE!
I told Jeanine she could do whatever. I showed her a few pictures of what I wanted my hair to look like (from a few years ago when it looked healthy) and she immediately said, we ARE NOT going to put highlights, your hair needs to breath. Lets get it healthy, condition it, cut a little of the dead of the ends and go from there.
She was VERY pleasant to talk to, she wasn’t overwhelming (some hairdresser just talk and talk and talk) she was not. She was soft spoken, courteous and not nosey but a great listener and we seemed to have somethings in common! I really enjoyed her company, and OF COURSE what she was doing to my hair. I LOVED when she washed my hair she massaged my head for at least 5 minutes… I’ve NEVER had that done before!!!
When she was done I LOOKED AMAZING. My hair looked NATURAL! I took a picture and sent it to my sister who is my BIGGEST critic and she said WOW. BEAUTIFUL! Jeanine straightened my hair (which is difficult) and it stayed for 4 days!
I am DEFINETLY going back! I have referred others to her since! I’m soo glad I found her!
PS-​When I got there I watched her give a baby her first haircut, so I know she’s good with babies too!!! Just a little FYI if you have a baby =)

My first time coming in was absolutely incredible! I had no idea what to expect and was blown away by how considerate & thoughtful Sylvia was.
Not only did she carefully listen to my requests, she offered tons of thoughtful responses tailored to my face shape, regular hair regimen and more! I also really appreciated how she would pause every now and then to let me know what she was doing to my hair and why. I also really liked how conversational she was.
I’m honestly a little sad that I just moved to San Francisco, cause I would definitely come back more often if I could!

Kristie is amazing at what she does. I am in love with their leave in conditioner and will be referring it to my friends. I came here after a previous shop ruined my hair after getting it ombré and wanted my natural black hair back. I loved how healthy and rejuvenated my hair looked after my appointment with Kristie, I enjoyed it overall – although my friend did say my hair had random patches of blue tones on it in the sun… not sure if that was normal?

Today was my first time coming in, and I am absolutely happy with the outcome! My appointment was with Lindsay and she is awesome! She did exactly what I wanted and more. I showed her pictures of ideas that I had been thinking of, and she made it come to life! She is beyond amazing and would recommend coming in to see her! I will definitely be back, and most definitely will be a loyal client!
I love my ombré and my shorter hair! Probably the best hairstyle I’ve had yet!

I definitely recommend booking an appointment with Kirsty if you want someone who will listen to exactly what you want done with your hair and will actually get those results for you! And to top it off, she is super friendly and sweet. I usually can’t stand the beauty salon chitchat, but she is incredibly easy to talk to and she made me feel like I was talking to a friend during the entire process. She also told me that I could text her at anytime with any hair questions and even offered to let me come into the salon sometime in the future to teach me different ways to style/​curl my hair. If that isn’t awesome customer service, then I don’t know what is!
I went in for a haircut and ombré. I told her that I wanted it to be noticeable, but still very natural. She ended up giving me a caramel ombré with peekaboo strands of my own natural hair color. The end result is subtle, but still looks awesome! I love it!
Spallon also has really great new customer benefits (to go with their already good prices): my haircut was complimentary with the ombré.
I recommend making an appointment with Kirsty or one of the other stylists ASAP since they are fairly booked at least a week in advanced.

It was my first time at Spallon. I mentioned the Unilocal deal (you don’t have to buy it through Unilocal,just tell your stylist and he or she will give you $ 11 off) and paid $ 29 for a haircut. Lindsay was my stylist and she did a great job! I was nervous at first because I had not cut my hair in 3 years. My hair looked dry and had a lot of split ends. When it came to cutting my hair, she did exactly what I wanted her to do-​front layers, side bangs, and trim the back. I like how she made some suggestions along the way. She even took her time with my hair. Now my hair looks and feels healthy again!
Thanks again, Lindsay!

Small salon and lots of parking spaces. When I walked in she greeted me. I told her about my hair that I like the length and she listened. Even gave me advice on my scalp. She wasn’t very talkative but I didn’t mind. I probably go back and get my bangs trimmed before the wedding though. I used the Unilocal deal which was great and plan to go back. What I didn’t like was the parking lot people park so close to eachother.

Brooke has been doing for my hair for 5 years now and always does a great job; I always leave feeling happy and looking good! She’s very personable, professional and is 100% dedicated to me when I’m there. I love the color that Brooke does and she always recommends the right products for me. The best thing that Brooke does for me is reserve me an appointment when I forget to make one; she knows I like an evening appointment after work every 5 weeks which is so thoughtful and organized of her.
The other girls that work there are also very nice, it’s a quaint place and they always have great specials on all of their products. I know in the past they’ve had customer appreciation nights which are always fun! I’ve never had my nails done there but I know they are always booked which is a good thing! Great place, nice staff, really nice new mirrors and furniture they just put in and they just got a keurig for the customers also!

My go to spot for my hair and nail care needs !!!
As a new client, I took advantage of their Unilocal Deal: $ 29 for $ 40 Deal at Spallon
SCORE !!!
NAIL:
Since I’m officially a lover of shellac manicure, I decided to find a nail salon close to home that specialized in this. Lucky for me and thanks to Unilocal, I discovered Spallon !
Great reviews and I just knew that I had to check this place out in person. Booked an appointment with Jenni and from the initial phone conversation up to our first meet and greet, it was just positive all the way around. She is the sweetest person and both professional and down to earth.
Shellac manicure alone costs $ 45 so this was a huge savings !!! Jenni does a great job and I’m always pleased with my nails. I don’t have any other place in mind when it comes to getting a shellac manicure, but here. They last me a good three weeks so it’s well worth the money in my opinion.
HAIR:
As for my hair, well I discovered the young, beautiful, and talented Sylvia. She’s also personable and easy going. She made the appointment process quick and easy and I never had to wait long to schedule for a haircut… ever ! I know how hard it is to book sometimes with others, but she is really dedicated to her work and loves what she does and it shows.
I’ve gotten my hair colored, styled, and cut through Sylvia and am always happy with the end result. She really takes the time to listen to you and guide you through your hair dilemmas. She’s even suggested hair care products for my hair, tips, and great deals I can find online.
Overall, Jenni and Sylvia are the main reasons why I keep coming back.
5 STARS ALL THE WAYYY !!!
