I have been getting my hair highlighted and cut at House of Daniel on main for 26 years. Christine Caringello is my stylist, and she is incredibly skillful. I loathe sitting in the beauty chair, and I dislike complicated hair styles, as I am a Masters swimmer, and need a "doo" that is easy and QUICK to style. Chris can do a highlight faster (and MUCH more reasonably priced), than anyone else. Her hair cutting technique and dexterity is as good as anyone at the very expensive salons. Did I mention she can cut your hair expeditiously as well? I LOVE this place and would recommend it to anyone who need high quality styling, at a reasonable price, and doesn't like to spend time "in the chair". My 25 year old son prefers Chris Caringello to anyone else, and even though he lives in Los Angeles, he always makes sure that Chris will cut his hair Pro tip #1: Chris does not work full time so make your appointment a few weeks in advance the first time. Bring pix of your ideal hair style. Pro tip #2: The Italian Deli, Japanese Restaurant, and Mexican Restaurant nearby are awesome. Be sure to have lunch before or after getting your hair done. Pro tip #3: Downtown Los Altos is paradise for families with children. Check out Adventure Toys once mom gets her hair cut. Pro Tip #4: This salon does an excellent job on Men's hair as well, particularly men who have swirls (cow licks) in their hair. Pro Tip #5: The manicurist at this salon is head and shoulders above others in downtown Los Altos. She does a warm wax, massage, and nail polish job that will last and last. Make an appointment well in advance, as she is also popular. Her business model in not based on being the cheapest manicurist in Los Altos, she does a quality job.
I've been getting my hair cut here for 35 years. I am comfortable there and we are now all old friends. I heard one woman say she loved the fact it didn't take 3 hours to get a hi light. They've remodeled and it is bright and well located on main street. Always have had reasonable prices in an upscale area. I've met many Silicon Valley's movers and sports elite over the years. As a man I have always felt comfortable here. My whole family comes here.
