Lapetite Salons

Bu is awesome! She has a talent for listening and knowing what looks good. Her coloring and cuts are both the best. She never disappoints! She definitely is my go to hair person and I had tried many salons.

By far, the best cut and color I have ever had! Bu and her mom, Mai make a wonderful team and the experience was so pleasant. I’ve never had Mai cut my hair, but my mom only says great things about her.
Bu listened to what I wanted to with my hair, and the outcome exceeded anything that I could have dreamt up myself! This was my first time coloring my hair, and Bu walked me through the process, explained to me how to care for my hair, and the result was fantastic! My hair is super thick so it took some time, but she is so fun to talk to and truly puts you at ease. She has such an attention to detail, and is a true artist in how she does hair.
Even though I’m moving to SD, I’m planning on coming up to have her do my hair! Thanks a ton Bu :)

I had such a wonderful experience here. Bu is definitely a hair artist. I was referred here by a friend and I’m glad I came here.

Best hair cut of my life! Buu does an absolute AMAZING job on my hair each time I come in. She takes a full hour to work on you and is a perfectionist (which is a GREAT thing)!
She squeezed me in for an emergency color job and it came out amazing. Better than I had hoped for.
She’s decently priced. Not anymore (maybe even less) than some places I’ve seen for quality work.
I’m not sure if they’re open 7 days/​week, but if you text her, she’ll definitely respond to you and let you know when she’ll be able to fit you in her schedule.
Love her! Definitely my go to for all my hair needs from now on. No more straying.

The BEST haircut I’ve ever had in my 30 something years of life. Buu is amazing, fun, charming, loving, funny, and she really wants to make you look good.
I left there feeling like a pretty princess.
The place is a bit hard to find. Once you park, go inside the building and they’re in #116. There’s no names or signage, so try to use your spidey senses.
I had an 11am appointment on a weekday and I was the only one there. In and out in an hour and 15 minutes and back to work looking so fresh and so fly.
Making an appointment can be a challenge. I’d recommend texting Buu directly at 1.408.677.7375 with a few time suggestions of what may work for you, and she’ll respond accordingly. =)

The mother-​daughter team created beautiful up-​dos for our wedding party. They listened to what we wanted (big, big, hair) and were able to work with all types of hair with ease (waist or shoulder length)!
My hair even survived crazy San Francisco winds and for that, I’m grateful! I hope I have many more occasions to leverage their hair styling.

I’ve been coming here to get my hair cut for a few years now. I discovered this place from my friend’s client. I wouldn’t go anywhere to have my hair done. I fly back to San Jose every couple months just to get my haircut. I highly recommend Bu but her mom, Mai is also very good.

Plus:
–Great job on the hair cut
–Friendly staff
Downside:
–Wait is ridiculous (even with the appointment. I waited 2 hours once) — especially on Saturday!
–Expensive

I’ve been coming here to get my hair didddd since high school and I love Mai and her daughter, Buu (am I spelling that right?)!
You would never actually know there was a salon in this office building unless someone told you… this place runs entirely by word-​of-​mouth, and by all accounts Mai has been doing quite well cutting, coloring, and styling hair, so that alone is saying something.
They’ve worked with my hair for all these years, and my hair is somewhat of an anomaly among Asians (wavy instead of stick straight). They understand that and work to bring the wave out instead of just chopping off my locks randomly. And for a cut and style, I only get charged $ 35 pre-​tip!
I’ve also come here to get my hair done for homecomings and proms back in the day, and it comes out lovely every time. I hand Buu a photo of what I want done, she gets it done, even if it means «teasing my hair into a birds nest» because I don’t have as much hair as in the photograph and then sticking in an innumerable amount of bobby pins to keep it up (senior ball). My friends have always commented on my hair, too. I refer all them here as well. see? Word-​of-​mouth magic! So I can’t vouch for the job Mai and/​or Buu does with highlighting hair and makeup (I think they do makeup, at least), but for cuts and styling, they’re spot on :)
Lately I’ve been going to Buu more than Mai, but either one will do a good job. I’m sad that I can’t find a hairstylist of this quality and price down in LA; half the times I find myself letting my hair grow wild just so I can get it done here, with a stylist I can trust.
