Shampoo Dolls

I really liked the way AJ cut my hair and took care of me at the salon, I’ll definitely be going back.

This salon is awesome! Moni did my haircut and my peekaboo the salon is very friendly and I can just tell they all love what they do! go Shampoo dolls! :) five star

I love shampoo dolls BUT they are now way tooooo pricey
for me! I normally on pay 170 $ ish for my hair and this
last time that I went it was OVER $ 300. That will be the last time I go to them.
I literally asked for the SAME thing I have
gotten all the other time and YES my hair was the same length.
Goodbye Shampoo Dolls, I’m now looking for a new hairstylist

Great salon. I love the décor and they are conveniently located with their own parking. I’ve only been once but Shannon was great. She gave me exactly what I asked for. Going back next month.

There are very few I trust to style my lions mane, let alone cut it. After so many bad experiences I’m so happy I found this salon. Beautiful setup and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful right from the start. Nicole did an amazing job with such an extreme cut. She listened to everything I wanted and gave me advice on how I should cut and style my hair. Now my do is looking just as sassy as me! If you’re looking for great customer service and results without a ridiculous price tag this is the place to go. Definitely coming back here for my next cut:)

First off this Salon is clean, professional and amazing customer service! Shannon has styled my hair a few times and I love it every single time! She is very attentive and tells you what she’s putting in your hair and what it will do. So this is great for people like me who don’t like extra stuff weighing my hair down! We have done a few round brush blow outs and I have loved watching her work her magic! The whole salon has a great team and great sense of style! Thanks Shannon!!!

You guys, Shannon will turn your hair into goals for everyone to envy!!! I reach out to her about changing my hair drastically and she gave me much more than I expected. She was super attentive, knowledgable and enthusiastic making my first experience awesome. She’s my next go to for touch ups and other drastic projects I have in mind :)

This salon is fantastic and I would recommend Nick M. in a heart beat!
First off the salon has a warm welcoming vibe, I’m always greeted very genuinely by the person at the front desk, offered a drink right away (I always go for the white wine!) I instantly feel like it’s time to relax and to be pampered.
Second, I have known Nick for about 10 years and I’ve always seen the passion flowing through him as a stylist. I’ve seen him grow in his profession and trust him fully with my hair (because let’s admit that isn’t easy to find). and I mean literally from playing with my hair in high school to having my hair treated with such integrity at the salon. He is great at listening to the direction you’d like to go with your style, implementing a fashionable view and offering easy style tips for once you leave. Nick is easy to make great conversation while he is doing your hair (I’ve known him so long that we could talk for hours) however I know if it’s your first time going to him he will hold a genuine conversation and be quiet when you want to be. He is in the right profession and I’m happy to recommend him!

Shampoo Dolls is big and open, you feel at ease as soon as you step in. Staff is all very nice and friendly. My daughter got her haircut from Nick. He was very patient with us while we were contemplating on what cut to settle on… he gave us the best advice and did an amazing job! I’m so glad we found him. Highly recommend him for hair cuts!

Nick is amazing! Best cut, colour and blow out I’ve had. Prices are insanely expensive though, literally double what you’d pay in most other places

Moni is the best hands down. I actually found her from following someone on instagram who goes to get her hair cut by her. I have been going here for over a year now and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She always fits me in and we always have great laughs and she gets the job done. Not to mention the awesome customter service and the complementary water, wine or tea that they offer to enhance your experience here. Nothing but the best and you can not go wrong with that!

Been with Shampoo Dolls for about 5 years already and they never fail! two of my older style at became mommies and are no longer there but now I see Monique! And she’s great! I’ve already recommended friends and family and they’ve loved it aswell.
Worth the price!

I first met Moni at a different salon in downtown San Jose over 10 years ago and her style and personality kept me coming back. Then I followed her to several other salons over the years and enjoyed seeing her talents grow.
When she left to start her own salon I decided to see another stylist closer to home for a few years, but now the circle has connected and I’m back to Moni. I don’t think I need another salon to get my hair done. Hearing her Laugh and get excited about kids and life is a welcome addition to my day-​to-​day life.
Did I say she knows how to give a fabulous haircut? You bet!

This is a (long overdue) review for Nick M.
I’ve been coming to Nick for over a year now, and out of all the years I’ve been getting my hair dyed, cut, and styled professionally, he’s the ONLY person I’ve come back to more than just once or twice, much less for over a year.
His customer service is amazing. He always offers me water, tea, coffee, and even wine, which really adds to the relaxing experience I always have at Shampoo Dolls. I also love that whenever I need to wait for a little bit for my dye to set in, he always asks me if I want a magazine, then asks if I prefer gossip or fashion :) Also I have always appreciated how he’ll engage in conversation when I want to, but if I’m tired or have had a stressful week and don’t feel like talking, he doesn’t force small talk or anything.
And NOW for his incredible talent. He can really feel out a person and determine what their overall style is — for example, he could tell right off the bat that I want something somewhat natural looking; not too «edgy» (obviously nothing wrong with that, just not my style); and very well blended (aka not streaky or with chunky highlights). He always does *exactly* what I am looking for, but somehow seems to make it look even better than what I imagine. Also I really appreciate how at the very beginning of each appointment, he’ll tell me what he kind of has in mind for me, and will ask me what I think about it, and we’ll work together and figure out something I feel comfortable with, and he as a professional thinks will look good. He also gives me good tips on how to make my hair look «salon quality» even at home. And he will suggest good products for my hair without being pushy at all.
I can’t rave enough about Nick. He is insanely talented, and yet his prices are very affordable considering his skill set. I’ve been to stylists who have charged me much more for a much less satisfactory job and experience. I wish I could give him more than five stars!

I had Moni Ung cut my hair a while back, so this is a late review.
She’s nice and attentive. Had my hair washed and cut asymmetrical a-​line. I had this done before at another (cheaper) salon and I felt like it’s pretty much the same. She’s good, but I don’t think it’s $ 90 good. :X
I think if you had a more difficult hair cut, it would be more worth it, but for a simple one… not so much.

I’ve been going to Shampoo Dolls for a few years now, and have never been disappointed with the service. What I’m most thrilled about are my most recent visits. My 5 year old son (who loves his hair very much) has been getting his hair cut and styled by AJ since the beginning of 2015. AJ is so gentle and mindful of my son and always does what he can to make my 5 year old’s experience in this «grown up» salon as comfortable as possible. Best of all, he gives him the best haircuts ever! Thanks Moni, for your amazing salon, service and exceptional stylists!

I love my hairstylist AJ! He always knows what to do with my hair and makes it look so easy. I have seen him twice for my extensions and they came out flawless both times. Everywhere I go people ask me who does my hair and I tell go to Shampoo dolls they work with everyone’s hair texture. Even though I wouldn’t call them an ethnic style salon they definitely have great stylists who can handle all types of hair texture. I love the brand Kerastasse which he used to shampoo my hair felt so soft and much smoother than usual. My last weave lasted 3 months which is great and I’m sure this one will last just as long or even longer. If your looking for an amazing stylist who dares to make you fierce than try AJ at Shampoo dolls you sure won’t be disappointed.

Went to Nick today for a blow out. He was prompt and on time, very personable, did a wonderful shampoo/​scalp massage… and I loved how he did my hair. Sean greeted me at the front desk. Very friendly, helpful, offered me tea or coffee (this was around noon), showed me dressing room and handed me a black smock to protect my clothes.
Shampoo Dolls is a massive space, very nicely appointed, clean. When I was there in the afternoon, there wasn’t any other stylists working, but there were more by the time I left.
I’m basing my review on my experience today, which was superb. I had never been to this salon before, and the service I received would make me want to come back. I originally found them through Jane Pain of Ted E Bare… the waxing queen, who also works at that salon.

Review for VANESSA VALDEZ (first visit): Five stars!
Shampoo Dolls came highly recommended to me by a friend who had come here for an asymmetrical bob. I wanted something new, fresh, and shorter, since I was growing out colored highlights and the bleached hair that came with the colored highlights.
Vanessa did such an amazing job, and I felt like I was in extremely capable and compassionate hands. She did a thorough consultation with me for the cut that I wanted (straight bangs) and explained with great detail what kind of maintenance was required for maintaining the different styles and cuts. In the end I went with blunt-​cut/​straight bangs (please excuse any incorrect use of terminology), and she also layered the rest of my hair since I had grown out my layers since my last cut.
I walked out with a fabulous new look and fresh, bouncy hair. I got a lot of compliments and wows (probably because it was such a different look!) and just as promised, the cut was low-​maintenance and easy to care for. The best part, considering how lazy I am when it comes to hair care — my hair grew out really beautifully even without any of the recommended trims.

Review for my second visit to Shampoo Dolls: Two stars :(
I don’t want to malign my second stylist, so I will be leaving their name out of this review.
Considering how well my first visit went, I fully expected to walk out happy during my second visit. Because of the heightened expectations, I was extremely disappointed with how my second visit went.
I had mixed up the date of my appointment, but luckily, Shampoo Dolls gave me a call to let me know that my stylist was running late and wouldn’t be ready for my appointment time. No problem — I asked if it would be possible to schedule it for the next day instead. I was actually happy that there was an opening and pleased that they’d called me to let me know ahead of time.
The next day, I received another call from them. Again, my stylist wouldn’t be ready for my scheduled appointment time — would it be possible for me to come in 30 minutes later? I had scheduled the time to go with my friends and before a potluck dinner. I begrudgingly agreed to the new time and went in early to wait, since it would have been inconvenient and a waste of time/​gas to go home and come back.
When I finally got to sit down with my stylist, it was forty minutes past my original scheduled time and ten minutes past the updated time. Apparently there was someone else booked right after me with my stylist; either because of this or for other reasons my stylist was obviously frazzled and in a hurry. I’d originally scheduled a bang trim wanting to go back to the blunt/​straight bangs from my first visit, but because of how I was being hurried through my appointment I decided against it and just let my stylist do a trim of my current cut.
I really should have just rescheduled — that was my fault. However, considering the stylist’s appointment queue and state of mind, I really wish they had insisted that I reschedule due to how impacted my appointment had become. The whole ordeal felt rushed and I felt like my stylist was unfocused and did not even notice how unhappy I was with the outcome and experience. For how expensive the bang trim was, it was a complete waste of my time and money.
The only redeeming factor is that it’s very easy to schedule appointments — you can do so online through their website. The entire second visit was distressing and disappointing. I’m still not sure I ever want to come back.

This review is not for SHAMPOO DOLLS but for VANESSA VALDEZ.
Five shiny stars for her!
I really love my new haircut and the ease of styling it in the morning!
I really can’t say anything that could convince you to have your hair cut by her except that I feel really pretty. =)
See my pictures!
