About

The salon moved to downtown San Mateo in summer 2016 and describes itself as a full-service hair salon. Its team serves a wide range of clients, from those who want trendy looks to those who prefer classic styles, and it takes in whole families, including children aged 5 to 10.

The salon aims for a fun, uplifting and friendly atmosphere. Beyond the haircut or color itself, the team says it wants clients to leave understanding more about fashion and presentation, and feeling good about how they look.

Creative color requires a phone or in-person consultation, and the salon contacts clients before confirming online bookings. Clients who are unsure which color service they need are asked to call to book. Prices for color, perm and highlight services are starting quotes and can rise with hair length, thickness, time or added services. Balayage and ombré are offered only on virgin, undamaged hair, so clients with older color should call first.

Signature offerings include keratin smoothing, which the salon says reduces frizz and curl on color-treated or chemically processed hair, and permanent hair straightening, also called thermal reconditioning. The salon also offers digital heat-wave perms, root perms, color creation for vivid, pastel and multi-tone looks, and a range of men's services. Its portfolio shows balayage and highlights, grey blending, creation color, men's perms and haircuts, women's short cuts, and teen cuts and perms. The salon is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, and closed Mondays.

The team focuses on thorough, expert consultations and on helping clients understand fashion, presentation and self-image as part of their visit.

The salon aims for a fun, uplifting and friendly feel.
