About

Shadow & Shear is a hair business in San Jose that works out of a suite at Sola Salon Suite on South Winchester Boulevard. Its listed hours are Wednesdays from 11 AM to 6 PM, and appointments are booked online through Glossgenius. The business says it aims to be a safe space where everyone feels welcome and respected, and its pricing is genderless.

Services are grouped into color, cuts, locs, styling, treatments, a free consultation and add-ons. Color runs from demi-permanent glazes and gray coverage at the hairline and crown to full highlights, dimensional and creative color, and corrective work on uneven color, which is priced hourly. Cuts include clipper work such as fades and tapers, shear-based haircuts, and a curly care cut that shapes each curl and includes a deep conditioning or restructuring treatment.

Locs are handled in several ways: refreshes with a deep cleanse, baking soda soak, apple cider vinegar rinse and loc oil spray; maintenance that separates and tightens the base or new growth; extensions; and creating new locs. Several loc services need a deposit, and loc extensions also need a prior consultation. Styling covers blowouts, thermal styling, curl definition, silk presses and event styling, and the business also offers styling lessons so clients can recreate a look at home.

Booking is by card on file, which is not charged until the service is finished. Rescheduling at least 24 hours ahead avoids a fee; late cancellations, rescheduling inside 24 hours and no-shows are charged 50% of the booked appointment. Clients can choose another payment method on the day, and Buy Now, Pay Later is available for bookings from $50 to $4,000 with approval before the visit.

Work is built around keeping hair healthy and helping each client reach the hair goals they describe.
