Swung by here on a couple occasions on my way up the east bay and have been thoroughly pleased by the haircut I've received here each time. I generally come by on the weekends which can get busy, but Kim works very very fast and can usually work on a couple people at a time (depending on what the client requests). I have very long and thick hair with side swept bangs, so generally I come in when I need a trim. I've gotten my hair layered here before as well and the layering was done very well. When my hair grew out, the layers were still there. Usually, my haircut takes about 10-15 minutes, so I can get in and out really quick which is nice. Something I really do appreciate is how Kim takes time to really talk to the clients and ask what hairstyle they want. If people have a hairstyle in mind, she asks for a picture so that she can get a better idea of how the style looks and from there, she'll actually see if the style you want works with your hair type and your face shape. If not, she'll work with you to see if she can make some changes to still get the style you want, but that works better with the features you have. I've gone to many salons that charge 5-10x more and don't bother even consulting you before hand, so Kim really does go above and beyond to meet her clients wants and needs. On top of that, she's very friendly and open to conversation as well! I'll definitely be back here for my haircuts in the future! Cons: - Expect a little bit of a wait if you come in on the weekends, but entirely understandable seeing as it's a one woman show and all that said, she's still remarkably fast Pros: - Prices are very reasonable - Kim takes all your opinions into account, but also provides her feedback so you don't end up with a haircut you'd regret - Ample parking available - Takes appointments as well as walk ins (very flexible schedule and very accommodating)

After moving to downtown Concord I was a bit worried about replacing my trusted hair salon in San Leandro. After letting Kim at Bright Star cut my hair, I'm perfectly happy and definitely will continue visiting her. Highly recommended.
