I have been going to Kelsey for almost a year now — and let me tell you she is AMAZING and loves her job! She makes you feel comfortable, and does an awesome job at cutting/styling/cutting hair — you name it. I have extremely long hair, but she manages so well. She is my favorite hair stylist to date — I hope she never goes far!

I’ve been going to Shelley for several years… and am always thrilled with her cut and color. She’s always friendly, and it is a time I look forward to. Actually all the staff are friendly! My sister was so impressed with my hair that she now goes too! You will not be disappointed!

I have gone to Kelsey for haircuts for the past year and a half — a friend from work referred me to her. My cut isn’t too complicated — straight hair, cut to a few inches below the collarbone, plus layers. It had been a struggle to find a stylist who could do this simple cut well and at a reasonable price… until I found Kelsey! She does a great job of listening to what I want in my haircut. She is proactive about asking questions to make sure that I get a cut that I’m happy with. Along with being quick and skilled in her work, she is a great conversationalist — it’s fun to be able to have a nice chat while I get my hair done. She is great about remembering things we talked about last time and asking me what’s new, which is pretty amazing since I only come in every 3 – 4 months! Kelsey is personable, professional, efficient, and great at what she does. Highly recommended!

Decided to give this place a try over a year ago. I’d had a very bad experience with my previous«stylist» and really needed to get someone who listened to me, not what they wanted to experiment with on my hair. I called and was given an appointment with Patti. She«got it» right from the first cut and I’m still very happy with her and this place. Comfortable, congenial, great conversation, great haircut, and pretty reasonable.

It’s disappointing to know that the response time to book an appointment is quite appalling.

After spending four years in the bay area, I thought it would be impossible to find a reasonably priced, friendly, laid back, and gifted hair salon and stylist. Until I met Kelsey. Recommended to me by a number of friends, I gave her a shot and she’s been my girl ever since(and honestly, I’m not usually loyal to one hairstylist). Kelsey has stuck with me through the long and painful process of growing my hair from a short bob and she has done a phenomenal job of making sure that my hair was still manageable in the process. Today was the first cut that i said«Okay, let’s actually choose a style instead of just trimming it.» It looks great. Kelsey has great experience, really enjoys her job, and makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend her!

So my boyfriend wanted me blonde. I’ve never gone lighter before, and i was nervous. My girlfriends suggested highlights for a subtle, more natual look. I usually just go to a barber shop and get a trim, as I have had some bad experiences with the ladies at the salons who don’t LISTEN, and I didn’t want to end up looking like a disaster, or paying(highlights aren’t so cheap), and not getting the look i wanted. I Unilocaled for days. Take It From The top got great reviews, especially kellsey. I went down there, and was greeted by kellsey, who was nice enough to listen to my situation, and look at some pictures. She booked me for full highlights the next day. When I went in for my appointment, she showed me a picture she found online. I was so happy to see that she had thought about what I might want. She was definately on the right track. I had a really good feeling about her, so I told her to do what she thought would be best. She worked quickly, but neatly and accurately, and made great conversation while she was at it. I actually learned that she is a barber too, and has a degree in chemistry. I was in the right hands! This girl really has a knack. It is evident that she really loves what she does, she has good taste, and she really listens. She’s the girl that you can say, «well, i like this type of thing or that type of thing, but i’m not sure exactly what I want,» and you can let her do the rest. Over all, the experience was a pleasure. When I was done, I was gorgeous! She make me look exactly how I wanted to look! I was so happy! My boyfriend is thrilled too, which is perfect. I couldn’t be happier. I will definately be a repeat customer :) Did I mention that her prices are VERY reasonable?

I found this place on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. I saw that previous customers wrote great things about Kelsey so I made an appointment with her. Needless to say, I am so happy with my haircut. I came in and told her exactly what I wanted. I decided to go bold and got myself a fohawk/mullet kind of look and Kelsey did extremely well! Her skills are amazing. She’s so friendly and funny. I absolutely love her and will be coming back. I think I just found my new favorite hair dresser. I recommend Kelsey to everyone! She is super amazing! :)

I was referred to Shelley Milazzo about 7+ years ago and couldn’t be happier. I can be a bit indecisive and have been know to change my mind mid appointment. Shelley is fabulous at color and highlights and current on the latest styles. She knows what she’s doing. I would recommend anyone here.

I love getting my hair cut by Kelsey at Take It From the Top. She listens to what you want, pays attention to how your hair behaves, and will give you a great haircut. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on my haircuts since I started coming here. Kelsey and the rest of the staff are really friendly, and the prices are great.

Read great reviews on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. I have had my hair cut at almost all the places here in bay area and have never been satisfied. Saw that people loved Kelsey and took an appointment with her. The first time, she did a great job, but I really dint like the style. Inspite of that I felt Kelsey was amazing. My fault, I dint want to experiment and stuck to the safe long layers. I am seriously seriously very paranoid when it comes to my hair. However, the second time, I took a picture for her, and thought let me experiment a bit, and Voila, there it was. I got the best haircut of my life. Thanks to Kelsey, people have been complimenting me about my haircut ever since. The husband can’t stop raving about it. What more can I ask for. I know one thing for sure, I am not going to let go off Kelsey ever. :-)

Patti Campbell at Take It From the Top has been doing haircuts for our whole family for many years, both adults and children. She has kept me looking young with cute cuts, does a lovely coloring of my hair, hiding the gray nicely. Highlights are great on my daughters, keeps the men in the family pleased with their cuts and has been good with the teens and younger children. We all love Patti, and you will too.

I highly recommend Kelsey, she cut and highlighted my hair last Friday and I am very pleased with how my hair turned out. I just moved to the area and was looking for the perfect salon, well I found it! Kelsey took the time to listen to what I wanted and she did a wonderful job. The salon is small, friendly and conveniently located.

Over the past few years I have been to many different hair studios in the area, and although I’ve been generally pleased with all of them, there has always been something missing. Kelsey is not only a great hair stylist, but is a great conversationalist as well. I was very pleased with her friendly and welcoming personality, and was even more pleased with the outcome of my haircut. She spent the first several minutes of the appointment listening to what I was looking for, and then explained to me, in detail, what she planned to do. Bottom line, my experience was all-around awesome. Needless to say, I will definitely be back every 3 weeks, and will encourage my friends to do the same. I highly recommend Kelsey to anyone in the area.

I get my hair cut from Kelsey there and I always look forward to it. Trust me, this is a big deal. I am a guy… what guy looks forward to getting a haircut? Well I do now, and here’s why. Kelsey is fun, knows what she is doing, and will even give you an amazing shampoo/scalp massage. Its an amazing experience everytime, hands down. Now if only I could get my hair to grow faster…

Quality haircut AND good conversation? Yep. $ 35 for my haircut(s) and Kelsey McDowell is pretty much amazing. I have this strange tuft of hair that grows in a bizarro direction(kind of like a comb-over when you let it just be, but I’m a 22-year-old girl so I try to avoid that) and the rest of my hair just has a mind of its own… but somehow Kelsey manages to make it look like I have good hair. I had never been good at the haircut-every-six-weeks thing until going to her! The entire Take It From the Top staff is incredibly friendly and hospitable. Makes me feel like home every time I get to hang out there. If you end up going, make sure to ask Kelsey to do the hair move.

My bf got his hair cut at Take It From The Top by Kelsey — she did an amazing job! It’s the best haircut he has had in while(although I think he was going to Super Cuts to save money). The prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly and I will be sending him back to Kelsey the moment he gets a little shaggy.
