About

Atelier Salon has been in San Jose for over 20 years and sits in the Santana Row area. The salon says it has deep ties to Aveda and describes itself as a trusted local business with high standards and an unpretentious feel.

Color is a large part of the menu. Options run from toner refreshes, root touch-ups and all-over color to partial and full highlights, with or without toner, and partial and full balayage. Express root and all-over color take about 30 to 45 minutes, and clients rinse the color out at home. New clients considering color can book a free in-salon lifestyle consultation. Color prices are starting points set during that consultation and can shift with the artist's experience, the services chosen and the time needed.

Haircuts begin with a seated, face-to-face consultation. A cut visit includes an aromatherapy scalp massage, Aveda cleansing and conditioning matched to hair type, and a blowout. Haircut pricing depends on the artist's education and demand and on what the hair needs. Textured hair has its own range of services, including wash and go, curl diffusing, silk press, thermal styling and Deva Cuts from stylists trained in that method. A complimentary curl diffuse finish comes with any service.

Keratin smoothing is offered as a Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment and as an Express Keratin Blowout, which the salon notes is not a permanent straightening service. The salon also offers hand-tied, platinum seamless and Short2Long tape-in extensions made from human hair, booked by consultation only. A Color Membership is available at $80 a month, with a three-month commitment and then month-to-month billing.

Visitors should arrive 15 minutes before their appointment, and a valid credit card is needed to reserve any new booking. Cancellations or changes need 24 hours' notice. The salon is open Monday from 12:30pm to 9:00pm, Tuesday through Friday from 7:45am to 9:00pm, and Saturday from 8:45am to 5:30pm, and is closed Sundays. Parking is next to the Olsen Parking Garage, and the salon recommends the Olsen basement.

Built around Aveda, with botanically derived color, Aveda home-care products and a stated commitment to sustainability, including support for eco-friendly and vegan initiatives through 1% for the Planet.

The salon describes its atmosphere as down-to-earth.
