Salon Juan

Salon Juan is my favorite! He and his team are fun and inviting, and so knowledgable about all things hair. Juan is patient and always explains all of my options to get to the end result I am looking for. He makes great suggestions while still considering my vision and the end result is always phenomenal. If you want to have fabulous hair I highly recommend a visit to Salon Juan!

Juan guided me though hair options specifically for my thin hair. He is very knowledgeable and can access the best quality products. A stylist eye was greatly appreciated, as was his polite honesty of what will work short term and long term, and be cost effective. I really appreciated my appointment.

I was so happy to find Salon Juan! I have alopecia areata (which is where my hair falls out in patches and then grows back… I know, annoying). Usually the bald patches are manageable for me – I can just cover them up with other hair, but this fall, they had gotten to big and I had short enough hair that it just wasn’t easy to cover them up. That, combined with a new job where I wanted to look professional, meant that I really wanted to find a good solution. Juan worked with me to get a «topper» (see his website for more details) which covers my bald spots really well. Juan is wonderful and made the whole process really comfortable and easy. It’s embarrassing to lose your hair and I’ve always hated going in for hair cuts because I have to explain this weird problem that I have. With Juan, I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, he was very caring and thoughtful and was great about listening to my needs. I highly recommend him and his salon! Juan also helps women who are going through cancer treatment and losing their hair. I went through chemotherapy for breast cancer last year and lost my hair – and I was living in Berkeley, CA at the time. I wish I had known about Juan, because I really needed help with wigs and problem solving hair loss stuff. He is definitely filling a need for women who are losing their hair in all different ways. He is also just a really great stylist even if you aren’t losing your hair – he also cut my hair as we styled the topper and I like the cut a lot.

I had the pleasure of meeting Matt at salon Juan for a Brazilian keratin treatment a wk before my appointment. Matt is a fantastic and talented & charming stylist! He is extremely well versed and diverse in his portfolio, he was even enthusiastic about styling my thick and coarse African hair! Bonus!!!
I was terribly apprehensive as my hair is definitely not the easiest to deal with and requires more time, product and effort than most stylists are willing to give. That said, on the day of my appt Matt was ready and excited to get started.
THE PROCESS
He first washed my hair with a stripping shampoo– a necessary step! But Yikes, if you know my hair type, you can imagine my fear and hesitation– a tangled mess — but he was constantly assuring me that it’ll be alright. And it was to my surprise!
He followed up with another product and began to EASILY detangle my hair. Whew!
He proceeded with the Brazilian process of blow drying and flat ironing the product into my hair! He took his time and gently sealed the product into my hair. I was so thankful! My hair was so finely laid it moved and flowed so easily with the slightest gesture.
The process can be/​is extremely taxing on both your wallet and your health! The fumes from the process stung my eyes and nostrils. However, I’m yet to come across a cosmetic service as good and not as taxing.
When matt advised it’ll make blow drying and flat ironing easier, I thought sure! But he was right. It’s been almost 2 months since I had this done on October 31^st. I’m in hot humid beach climate currently and my hair has been the least of my worries. Even with my new growth coming in, it’s been rather manageable.
Bkt’s in general are quite costly. Starting at 275 $ here, but thanks to the thickness of my hair I had to pay for the use of extra product which left me in the upwards of almost 400 $ which included tip.
It’s however been a rewarding experience for me. The amount of sheen and manageability I’ve experienced has made this more of an investment than an expense.
Ps. My twist outs look as though I blowdried before twisting.
I’d include my hair feels stronger too in terms of breakage. I experience a lot of breakage because I’ve been rather abusive to my natural (4abc) hair.
One thing that’s certain is this process will help eliminate single strand knots.
Thank you Matt & salon Juan!
Feliz Navidad
