About

XL Salon is run by owner and master stylist George Ferrer, who has owned and operated the salon for over 26 years. The salon describes its staff as experienced and highly talented.

The salon takes a holistic view of beauty, weighing the environment and each client's well-being alongside the look itself. It uses Aveda hair, skin and makeup products and carries the full Aveda hair line, which the salon describes as plant- and flower-based, organically sourced and sustainable. Appointments are booked by phone at (650) 342-3929.

Color work starts with a consultation for first-time clients, covering hair, texture, style and complexion. First-time color starts at $150, with additional charges for long or thick hair and for multiple colors. Color touchups start at $120 and cover about a half inch of regrowth, usually booked every four to six weeks, and include a shampoo, an instant conditioning treatment and home-care recommendations. A gloss for the ends can be added for $30. Corrective color requires a consultation before booking, and color services do not include a blow-dry.

For dimension, custom hi-lights start at $180 and are placed through the front, sides and crown to add texture, movement and body for men and women. Full hi-lights start at $200 and cover the front, sides, crown and nape, while full micro highlights start at $220 for a more dramatic, solid change. Toner, from $120, balances unwanted warmth after lightening or blends uneven color, and color glaze, from $120, refreshes faded color and adds shine.

Extension services include DreamCatchers, which the salon installs and maintains. One or two packs can be installed for thicker hair and several for longer hair, and a free phone consultation is available. Feathers are real feathers applied without changing hair color, priced at $10 each or $15 for fat feathers.

Sculpting includes blow-dry styling from $90, flat iron straightening from $110, hair design and cut at $120, and special occasion styling from $150. Special occasion styling requires a consultation, more elaborate looks cost extra, and clients are asked to arrive with clean, dry hair. Texture services include permanent waves at $230 and the Japanese straightening technique at $1,000, which uses an extra-strength retexturizing creme for resistant, textured hair.

A holistic approach that considers the environment and client well-being, built around Aveda's plant-based products.
