Salon Flux

Since coming to Lilly for the first time, I haven’t gone to anyone else to get my hair done. Not only is she friendly and personable, she’s a rockstar at what she does. I never leave feeling less than awesome about my hair, and her rates are consistent with the quality she delivers. Would recommend Lily to anyone, but especially blondes!

Haven’t cut my hair in years, and I mean YEARS. Finally felt like it was time. Lily took care of me and she’s amazing. She’s really easy to talk to and will make sure you get what you want. This is def my new go to place!

So happy with Lily! She finally gave me the color I wanted. It’s my go to place now. It will be my fourth time going to this salon in 9 months. And she did such a great job with my highlights that I didn’t need to do anything for 9 months. My hair was always turning brassy for years and I finally got beautiful golden highlights. I didn’t do any touch ups for 9 months, my roots are a bit darker but now it gives me a natural «tie and dye». Although it’s about time to get some shine and I look forward to my appointment this weekend. I will update my review as I have no idea what I should I get and how it will turn out.

Lily is amazing!!! I can’t thank her enough for my cut and color! My problem is that I have very thin fragile hair and I love being blond, but any time I come to the salon and try to explain that I still get partial highlights. Lily listened to me carefully and suggested «mini» highlights without bleach which gave me a new look without damaging my hair that much. She was very nice and attentive, loved the vibe of the salon too! I’m definitely coming back!

I’m notorious for changing hair salons because every now and then, it doesn’t hurt to try someone/​something new getting a new perspective in someone else’s cutting style…(did I make sense… you know what I mean) With that said, when I do find that stylist, I tend stay with them for a long time until they move or some other thing happens. I don’t get my hair done too often but when I do, I’m picky about my hair being cut the right way.
I first had my hair done with Trish…(I think?) a few years ago and was a pretty satisfied customer. I’m not sure my short absence but I came back. I like the fact that I can make appointments online and that they accept SpaFinder gift certificates. Then when I had to make an appointment for my daughter, we ended up with Lily doing her high lights and hair and came out beautifully done and very competitive rates for SF standard.
A few months ago, we moved to the East Bay, needing a refresh/​new cut, I was going to try to give one of the salons in my area the benefit of a doubt but my daughter and I quickly changed our minds…“let’s go back to the city…” where I know for sure they will not «f*ck up» our hair. I made a last minute appointment recently for me and my daughter and Lily was able to accommodate both of us. As usual — very happy with the service (cut/​highlights and cut) — able to exactly give my daughter the highlights she wanted. Her cut will last me for another 6 – 8 months. As it grows out, it still looks good — to me, that’s a sign that she knows how to cut hair correctly.
A long overdue review on this place that deserves my 5 star Unilocal opinion. Thank you.

This salon really knows what they’re doing. My hair cut was amazing as I didn’t really know what I wanted. She cut and styled my hair where it fits my face shape. Love it! Great technique and service! This has got to be my new favorite salon in town. Thanks Lily!

Had an amazing hair dye there! Top notch quality and I’ll definitely be going back.
I’m glad I found my new regular sail salon!

Trish did my extensions. She was fast and professional. She scheduled a very quick appointment as I am about to go home and wanted them done before hand. I’ve had them for about 5 days and none have fallen out and they’re comfortable! The color she chose matches my hair pretty perfectly and the cut was great! She fixed my chopped bangs and they look a million times better. I’m super happy with them and I feel like a rock star with my new super long hair! Definitely would recommend to friends and I will be a repeat customer.

I tried a lot of trolls before I found my hair savior Trish. Since then I’ve been following her for years from salon to salon. She’s the only one who knows how to cut my hair right. She’s really good at what she does. She has good taste and knows what looks good on you. She gives beautiful haircuts that always got me compliments.
This cozy salon is located right next to Trader Joe’s and a very nice boutique coffee shop bakery. The vibe is friendly and calm.
If you are new to the city or don’t know what you want to do with your hair, this is the place to start and you won’t be disappointed.
So happy with this salon!

I have been going to Vanessa to color and cut my hair for about 6 years now — I followed her over from Genray. This review is long overdue, I cannot say enough good things about her! When I first moved to the city, I had the hardest time finding someone who could highlight my hair without making it a weird orangey gold. Vanessa is AMAZING at color, and also helped me grow out my fine hair with a cut that keeps it looking full, not long and stringy. Plus she is just all around a wonderful person, so easy to talk to and fun! Again, I highly recommend Vanessa for all cut and color needs!

I needed a cut and root touch up during a visit to SF. Of course I turned to Unilocal and found Salon Flux close to my hotel. What a lucky find! Vanessa did a great job with the cut, despite my inability to explain what I wanted. Highly recommended!

I love this Salon! Vanessa is a majestic hair goddess! She always makes me feel like a princess! She always gives me the perfect bob and color! And she is soooooo funny !!! Great Job homegirl!!! I just love her to death!!!

I’ve been going to Trish to style my locks for four years now, and each time I become more loyal. She is REALLY good at what she does, and she is determined to give you exactly what you want. I’ve never come out of an appointment with even one single negative thing to say. My hair is a BIG part of my style, and I’m such a perfectionist. The devil is in the details, but Trish is detail-​oriented and extremely diligent so by the end of the appointment, you wont find a hair out of place. Literally.
The BIGGEST comment I have to make on her skills is in regard to my most recent style: bright pink and purple all over color. I couldn’t have imagined the depth and shine she achieved, even in my wildest great-​hair dreams. I can’t go anywhere new without tons of strangers raving about how amazing my hair color is. I even have had two different hairdressers ask me who did it because they are so impressed.
She’s not the cheapest hairdresser on the block, but she’s the best, and she is SO worth it. As an undergrad, I don’t have extra cash lying around to spend, but I never hesitate when it comes to Salon Flux because you get even more value than you’re paying for. The service is great, the girls who work there are extremely friendly and fun, and the salon itself is very comfortable and stylish. They use the Mind Body scheduling system so you can easily make appointments online, and they also are a Perksville participant, so I’ve earned 50% off a haircut twice already, and I only go about 3 times a year! Also, they do complimentary bang/​shave trims for those of us who have to quick-​to-​grow-​out-​around-​the-​face styles.
Bottom line: I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone who cares about their hair and having a positive salon experience.

I got my new haircut yesterday I loved it, Trisha was really nice she listened to what I wanted and gave good suggestions as well! I even got a glass of wine and she blew dry it giving it volume so it looked even better she really took her time to make me feel happy with the result

I love this salon. Lily the hairdresser is amazing! I was there today and she did my hair did and couldn’t be happier! Thank you Lily!

Love this salon! The girls here are so friendly and accommodating. They do great cuts and have open communication about what color and style to dye your hair. I get so many compliments on my hair, I’ll always come back to see Lily for all my hair needs! The color doesn’t fade very much which is awesome because I only have to touch up the color like every three months. They have great products to buy on sight as well. Lily gives me so many tips for hair care which has helped keep my hair healthy. I can’t say enough about this place, I totally highly recommend this salon to everyone! :)))

Mellow salon, although I’d go to the tenderloin to get my hair done right! It’s about the stylist.

I’ve gone to Trish in total of 3 times now. I ended up here at Salon Flux on my first visit after seeing and purchasing the Bloomspot deal. Usually I do not buy salon deals since I’ve been going to the same hair salon for years (and love it!). However, when I saw the Salon Flux deal and knew it sounded familiar, I realized it was the same salon my cousin goes to (who always has great hair), so I decided to give it a try.
First off, I love Trish’ salon — small and simple, but the touches of décor and style make the space comfortable and fun. I love that she has a whole rack of magazines, great retail products you can purchase, and most of all, her chair/​sinks. While you’re getting your hair done, the sinks are right in front of you — when it’s time to wash, Trish spins you around, dips you back, and you’re good to go. You never have to leave your chair, walk around with wet hair, or switch to a different chair at the sink bowl which can often times be very uncomfortable. I thought this concept was awesome — not only is it smart/​cool, very space saving too.
Along with her salon, Trish is also amazing. Very friendly, talkative, and makes you feel like a friend in her home. Great hospitality. On top of it all, and most importantly, her skills are top notch– not only does she provide a great cut, she’s great with color. Since I’ve been seeing her, she has been able to get my color to exactly where I want it. And even though my trip to the salon ends up being more complicated than the services I booked, Trish does it all with a smile. (My second appointment with her was 4.5 hours… oops!) Trish got it down perfectly — when I said I want my color to be a cool, in between light and medium brown. LOVING my hair once again!
The products she carries are good too — I can’t remember the name of the brand of the brushes right now, but I recently bought a ionic round brush from here and I LOVE IT — finally getting my hair to look the way I want it. And she also sells the same products as she uses on you in the salon.
Overall, love Salon Flux! Totally ditched my hairstylist in San Jose now…

Easy to get to. Check. OK prices… City but yes. Chill people and décor. Check! The Hello Kitty is cute but not over bearing. They are ready to help and easy to talk to plus informative. Trish is a doll!
Go try, have fun and leave with a feather in your hair!
