Scandalous Salon

I have been coming here since about May 2014. Or maybe May 2013 — hard to remember which! I have been seeing David since then. I got a recommendation from a friend, as I had very long, very straight, nearly waist-​length hair, and it was getting ragged, so I wanted to get it cut into a cute, manageable new look. I came in looking for suggestions; his ideas matched mine very well, and that was that! I love my new haircut (I have it cut the same way every time). I love the salon; everyone there has always been super nice, and it’s far cheaper than the one time I went to a full salon in Los Altos. Very happy with their work, and will continue coming again and again! (Note that they are pet-​friendly, too, although you might want to see if your pet is okay with being in a salon with blow-​dryers, product, etc.)

Amazing service attention and quality five heartfelt stars David spend so much energy on making me beautiful he is truly an artist

David is my stylist and he is fantastic. I came from Socal and was very picky about getting someone who could do my hair. He is a fantastic colorist and cuts my hair to my specifications. We try new things, which is lovely. Scandalous never pushes product, which so many high end salons do to their customers,. As long as I am in NorCal I will continue my patronage of Scandalous Salon!

Here I go…
This is referring to Josette Renee (she’s new here)
Service was great, she was nice. 5 stars
I came in for a balayage.
I asked for a brownish color (I showed her a picture and everything), it came out orange. Okay, she toned it to make it darker… It looked fine in the salon until I got out and it was still reddish. I was already there for 3 hours and I had to get back to work.
Haircut looked good… UNTIL I GOT HOME. I saw a chunk of my hair in the back CHOPPED OFF! I asked her to thin out my hair (she used a thinning scissor) as much as possible, but she cut hack off a chunk of my hair instead. Every salon I go to, when I ask them to thin out a lot my hair, never had anyoneeeee «accidentally» cut off my hair like Josette did. Now I have spikey hair in the back ! I will post a picture to show. Worst is that she didn’t tell me she accidentally cut it off and I had to find out on my own when I got home. I hurried to go buy hair growth treatment.
Now I’m at a new sAlon redying my ugly hair. I now am spending extra $ 100 to get my hair fixed on the top of $ 125 spent at Scandalous salon. Farewell place!

I don’t know what «Juliett M.» (1÷20÷16 review) is yammering about. Obviously a fake review from a nervous rival salon or Juliett went off her meds. In any case, I have been getting my hair cut and colored at Scandalous for over 8 years. David is always very professional, thoughtful with advice, and creates the perfect style and color. Plus he is always willing to change the cut or color at his own expense if there is any client dissatisfaction. It really pisses me off when someone tries to sabotage a talented and hard-​working person such as David. There is a reason why celebrities request him to style them when they come to town for an event. If you want the best cut and color of your life, go to Scandalous. So, stick it up your curlers, Juliett…

David and his team provide outstanding service. I don’t just get a cut and color. My hair is a work of art every time and lasts that way between appointments. Been seeing David for more than 20 years. He’s the best color and style artist I’ve worked with.

Best Salon ever!!! Owner is extremely Professional, Kind and accommodating!!! Every stylist here rocks and are very genuine!!! Edgy Salon, personable stylists who have great visions an deliver!!! Would definitely recommend!!!

Lien Delong, is amazing. She did my hair and make-​up for my wedding and it was everything I had hoped for and more. She is incredibly sweet and even drove out to our hotel and gave us extra time to be sure everything was perfect.
I am going to her for normal hair appointments as well and just had my hair dyed red and it looks awesome. she even added in additional highlights to make it shine when the light catches it in the right way.
I have already recommended her to a few friends with weddings coming up and highly recommend her to anyone looking to get their hair done for a wedding or any other special occasion

Absolutely love getting by hair done here. My Stylist is Bliss and she’s absolutely amazing! when i first started coming to her i gave her an idea of how i like my hair and what i want in the end. I love having it long with lots of layers. ever time i go in she delivers and my hair stays looking great for months! i usually don’t have to go back in for a few months because even after growing it out the layers still stay defined so i don’t loose my shape even after moths.
My boyfriend and his mom also get their hair done with Bliss and they love it. She’s great to trust with your hair cut and she’s so sweet and actually care about you and your hair.

Lien DeLong is the best! She’s so talented! She does hair and makeup, and also photography. She’s very easy going and takes her time to make you look your best. Lien is who you want on your BIG DAY for your Wedding when you should be relaxed and feeling good. Or any special occasion that requires a a very skillful and flexible makeup artist. She can do any kind of look or concept. You will be transformed and look amazing when she is done. Lien has a great work ethic and really goes the extra mile to bring your best features out. Look at her before and after photos, their beautiful. The transformations are amazing. I’m so lucky that I found Lien and will continue to work with her. I highly recommend Lien to my friends/​family. The time will come when Lien will be booked out months in advance, go see her soon!

I visited the salon for the first time this weekend and I could not have had a better experience! Here’s why:
— They were SO great at accommodating my limited schedule. It’s really hard for me to find time to get a haircut between workin’ and momin’. I scheduled an appt for a Saturday, but ended up having to shift times the day before. Even though they had no obligation to go out of the way (I was not an established client), they really went out of their way to squeeze me in.
–The atmosphere was really welcoming. Each of the staff members smiled, said hello and were generally fun to chat with.
— It was really clear that David is really fluent with what he does. My hair is a mess to work with! It’s fine and a weird texture. He asked a few critical questions to make sure he had a clear idea of what I wanted, but really seemed to «get it» right away. He cut my hair with ease. The color was also perfect. By far the best cut and color experience I have had! Plus, David was just a kind person and nice to visit with.
— Jessica’s blowout was the icing on the cake! I walked out with ridiculous bounce and volume — I really have no idea how she did it.
After several failed attempts to find a great stylist and salon in the area, I am thrilled to have found Scandalous!

I just had my hair cut by David, wish I’d tried this place sooner! I had been going elsewhere and got tired with the fact that a simple haircut would take sooo long. Price is on par with what I paid at other high end salons and well worth it especially since I only cut my hair 4 – 5 times/​year.
He is personable and down to earth, did a great cut and I was in and out in a jiffy! His assistant did the wash and blowout and she was great as well. Parking was easy (not always the case in WG) and I like the quiet and unpretentious salon. So happy to find a great stylist so close to home.

Best haircut ever! Everyone was super nice, David was terrific as were Amber and Jessica. Highly recommended.

David is amazing!!! One day I had the urge to go blonde and I knew that I would never get the courage to do it if I didn’t find a salon that would. I walked up and down willow glen, turned down by every stylist on the strip. My last stop was scandalous. Not only did he take me blonde but he did it beautifully! He’s a genius, and on top of that a really cool person. I’m so lucky and happy I found you David! Thanks for my gorgeous blonde hair!

I’ve been a client of scandalous salon and David specifically for 17 years (I got my first highlight with him at 16). I’ve moved around for college and grad school and keep coming back to David!
David is a color genius! My hair is not easy as it lifts to an orange color. I’ve always been super picky about the shade I want and David has it down to a T! In fact, it didn’t take him long to figure out what I like and what looks good on me. I also have really curly hair so some salons have a hard time knowing how much to highlight. David is also great at cuts. Like I said, my hair is super curly so it’s important to know how to layer my hair without making it look like a mullet ;)
David’s staff at the salon is great too! I get the best head massage with his girls! Everyone is friendly and it just feels good to visit this place!

Lien DeLong is an extremely talented stylist. I never feel a shred of anxiety in her chair. She’s meticulous, professional, friendly, and above all: an artist. Hair is her canvas and forte. From simple trims to full make-​overs, Lien is focused, passionate, and devoted to creating stunning, clean results which are easy to maintain and work with. I constantly receive compliments on my hair, which I rarely ever even style! It’s all in the cut.
I recommend Lien to everyone and have nothing but good things to say, but in particular, I’d recommend her to anyone looking to get a pixie or short haircut. Lien understands the details, angles, and particular finesse necessary to create the perfect short haircut, which, in my experience, many other stylists fail to. Lien also excels in makeup, photography, and hair coloring! You can check out her brilliant work at Lien DeLong Artistry on Facebook.

Love, love, love this place! Had my hair trimmed up by David. He did an amazing job at a very reasonable price. Staff were all very professional, salon is gorgeous and parking is great.
Scandalous is definitely a worthy spot to check out if you’re anywhere near the San Jose area.

Plus 5 more stars! Time to update. We are still together 11 years on now darling.
You are the best! What haven’t we done to this mop of mine! Been growing it
out for the past year. I’ve never been happier with it. We will get there eventually.
I moved back to the city a year ago and still travel to SJ every 5 weeks for color/​cut.
We changed my color darker. lowlight and you fiddle with the other all over color.
You are still teaching as well. I get so many compliments here on my hair.
You are the master cut and colorist honey. I’ve also seen you do everything else.
Extensions, color correction, Brazilian blowouts.everything.
I can’t recommend Ritchie enough people. Get in there and be fabulous after
one visit with a true master of hair care.

I bought a groupon and had an appointment today. The stylist broke her leg before my appointment
I was amazed that without faltering the owner, David, took it into his hands. He cut, colored and styled my hair perfectly along with the perfect blow and style.
They went above and beyond with my hair from cutting coloring treatment toning everything for just the groupon price. That alone made me realize this place is not only excellent at their styling but an honorable salon that cares more about the customer then the Benjamin’s ok well unless there customer was named Ben;)
Thanx David!!!

Have gone here three times with a blowout groupon deal. Service has been great. All the girls who work there are nice and do a great job with the shampoo and the blowout. It is a rather large salon and centrally located in Downtown Willow Glen.
Parking is a little difficult as is a lot of Downtown Willow Glen but there is a small lot in the back.
