If you're like me, struggling to muster the energy to wash your hair during the cold winter and dreading heading out to find a salon on a busy weekend, I finally found the perfect place. After searching for a weekend-friendly option, I stumbled upon this gem, and I'm so glad I did! Paolo, the stylist, is incredibly kind and welcoming. She gave me a fantastic service, leaving my hair feeling fresh, bouncy, and totally revived after a wash and blow-dry....read full review

Roy has cut my hair twice this year. Each time, I've been pleased with his artistry. I am thankful that although he is in a sort of older woman's only salon, his space is separated from all the chatting and commotion that goes on. I hope to continue seeing Roy for regular trims. He is a quiet and kind soul. He has made me and my hair happy. Thank you.

Roy is seriously the best. I've been going to him since 2021, and he's helped me transform my style over the last two years. He's been working with hair in the Bay Area for years, and that experience really shows. I used to be someone who was afraid to get anything but a fade cut because I didn't know what styles would work for me. Roy talked me through his thoughts and encouraged me to experiment with a few different styles. Last year, I permed my hair for the first time and I love it. I would have never done that if it wasn't for Roy! I definitely trust his expertise. His spot is located in the same place as Flow Salon. Just say hi to the friendly ladies at Flow and walk through to the back. Roy's salon might be the best kept secret in San Mateo!
