Long overdue review. I'll try to make it short and concise. A hairstylist and owner in Burlingame who I have been going to for the past 2 years, butchered my blunt cut into layers and made my hair orange. I was so turned off I went seeking elsewhere, and oh how I wished I still had my amazing hairstylist who was always up to date and went to training classes on a yearly bases. I remembered a friend of mines years back had mentioned his friend opened a salon on Broadway and upon my search, I found Nabi and Su rang a bell. I contacted Su explaining the dilemma and without hesitation, she squeezed me in the next day. She was heaven sent, she analyzed, treated and fixed what she could as best as possible. Her protegé Vanessa was very sweet as well and they both seem to have a very good thing going. Also, one reason why I decided to ask Su for help is the most important thing I read, is that she keeps up with her training. To be the best, train and keep on training.I'll be making an appointment to see her again since she had a plan of action for my next session. The saga continues and I will not have a clean blunt cut until I grow out the random butchered layers on one side the previous salon owner did to my hair.Thanks, Su and Vanessa!! More...

Su and Vanessa were great! I came a couple weeks ago to get a trim, and Su/Vanessa made sure that they were aligned on the direction that my hair cut was going to go in. (Felt a bit bad because my last hair dresser really botched my hair so Su/Vanessa were essentially "fixing" his mistakes... oops! Sorry and thanks!!)Vanessa did a great job with the cut, and she was very friendly/attentive throughout the haircut. Su came in at the end to cut one part of my hair that needed more attention, but she said Vanessa did a "perfect job", and that was nice to hear!Friendly & efficient place, I'm a fan, and I plan to come back for future haircuts!!

The hair cut was pretty. Owner was very friendly. Didn't give five stars because it was not the best hair cut I've had and it was kind of expensive.

I was long overdue for a cut and decided to try someone new. It's always a little nerve wracking entrusting long hair to a new stylist but I'm so glad I did. Su is awesome and the salon is very pretty. They take their time and make sure it's right before you leave which is always appreciated. Go see Su - you won't regret it! More...

Called around 12:30 for a haircut and Sue said she can schedule me in with her junior specialist, Vanessa, at 2:30. Located on Broadway in Burlingame, it was easy to find parking right in front. I was greeted and started right away. The salon was cute. Told them I wanted a haircut and showed Vanessa a picture of the cut I wanted. Let's just say, the outcome was absolutely perfect! I wished I had taken a before picture of my hair because the after was absolutely perfect. Vanessa was super sweet and personable. She's young but super sweet and attentive. My one hour appointment passed by so quick and next thing I realized, my hair looked healthy, shiny, and felt super soft. Vanessa was thorough with the cut and based everything on what I liked and wanted and more. Before my cut, my hair had no style and it was full of split ends and looked so thinned out so it made my hair felt so heavy. After a wash, cut, and style, my hair felt so much healthier and looked so much healthier. I only wished I had found them sooner but I'm glad I finally did. It's only been half a day and I've already gotten compliments on my hair and my family can't stop feeling how soft it is !! Not to mention how good my hair smelled after using their shampoo and spray. :) More...

Had my first (and def not the last) haircut at Nabi with Vanessa and some final touches from Su. It was a last minute request for an appointment and Su was very accommodating! I came to my appointment with something in mind but was very open to Vanessa and Su's suggestions and the final result was just everything that I wanted. My hair is now full of life and Vanessa really did a great and amazing job of making sure that it was the cut I was looking for. Su also made sure that everything was perfect and I just love that - the attention and experience was just perfect. I can't wait to come back! Thanks again Vanessa and Su! More...

What great things can i not say about Su, the owner. Stopped by on Tuesday and asked for a consultation. She took me right away and was very patient. I had used pharmacy store boxes color bc i was so upset with what my previous stylist had done. Su was honest and patient and let me know what she could and couldn't do and what her plan of action was. She squeezed me in 2 days later even though she was booked out for 3 weeks! I'm so happy with what Su has done to my hair and am in love with the color!!! And she is also so much fun just to talk to! More...

I. Love. The Nabi Modern Salon. I am a faithful hair devotee of Decor. I've been going to Decor for five years and so happy she now owns her own salon. He has given me the greatest pixie cut, and in my long hair times really great layers, he's made my hair beautiful shades of blonde and now rich dark. Also Thelma did some hair extensions for me recently and they are so gorgeous and realistic that most people just say to me, "Did you do something different to your hair?" Which is the ultimate compliment. More...

Had my long past due hair cut today by Su... as i'm always skeptical on finding the right hair dresser to do my hair.... Su is super nice and sweet, listen to what i want, explain to me my wish vs reality (i've fine thin asian hair), and last but not lease know how to play with the color. She gave me a thicker bank I always wanted, with the great balayage coloring that gives me a vibrant hair color, looks more healthier and the waves i never had.  Thank you so much Su!  I FINALLY found the right hair stylist!!!

I am a brunette and needed to find a colorist who knew what she was doing in the color arena  given the string of bad colorists I had been experiencing who ruined my color and cut. It was a scary time and I needed to find someone FAST. I want to find someone I could go to for many years to come. Thanks to Yelp, I found Su, Owner of Nabi. What a talented colorist who can also give a great cut and blow out....and who is extremely nice, accommodating and a great listener. Of course even though you read positive reviews, they don't always result in the same experience for you. However, in this case it was everything positive and more! Su called me back promptly on a HOLIDAY weekend no less, listened to my situation, was very kind/sensitive, and made room for me when she really had none to give!Su knows color and can perform the most complicated procedures to the most simple on both brunettes and blonds. I feel that mine is complicated because I am a brunette and she needed to fix my color after the last colorist destroyed it in a few short months!!! She uses excellent products and takes the time to do the job well. She repaired my color and cut over several months, so all's well again thanks to SU!!!I am super picky, so at the risk of sounding obnoxious, if I think she knows what she is doing with color, then she does. :-) If you are on the fence about a colorist, please do give her a try. You will be very pleased. It isn't just about how well a hair stylist/colorist knows their craft, but also their personality. Su is over the top great because she not only is very good technically and highly professional, but she is also a great listener, and a very NICE and conscientious person. She wants everyone of her clients to love their hair. Lastly, I want to give a shout out to Vanessa, who works with Su. She is another highly talented up and coming stylist who is again, super nice and technically sound. More...

I am so thankful for Julie at Nabi Salon for her efforts in fixing my incredibly damaged hair. My hair was the product of an extremely bad salon visit but thanks to Julie and the team at Nabi Salon I am happy to report my hair is beautiful and healthy again! Julie fixed my botched Balyage and replaced it with a beautiful top notch balyage. Julie took her time with my hair and I didn't feel rushed at all. She made sure she had a plan of action going into the appointment about what to do with my hair, and was sure to touch bases with other staff members for their input! My worries of finding a salon that meets my needs is gone now, and I have a new go-to Salon and stylist that I will go to from now on! I recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to feel rushed in the salon and who wants their hair to be in the best care possible. Thanks Julie! (Before & After pictures below) More...

Su is amazing at her job and super friendly too! It was my first time getting my hair colored, so I was a little nervous at first. But Su explained everything she was doing to my hair and put me at ease. And she made sure I wasn't in pain as she colored, washed, and combed my hair. I love how my warm bayalage turned out!! I also got a trim along with the bayalage. The next day, I realized that one side of my hair was slightly longer than the other and asked Su to fix it. She was happy to make time in her schedule to fix it on the same day. I highly recommend Su!! More...

Made an appointment through the app and requested an appointment for haircut and partial highlights. The Owner Su replied back immediately and told me she wont be available since she's out of town. Gave me Julie's number instead and kept in touch before and during the appointment. I was the only one left during that day so I felt like se really gave me her time to be able to accommodate me on her schedule even if it requires her to stay late. She was a great hairdresser and made me feel comfortable the whole time. It feels like I was talking to a "friend" while beautifying me at the same time! My hair looked perfect on the day of my photoshoot which is 2 days later after I got my hair done by Julie! Pls refer to the picture below. I would definitely recommend this salon most esp. Julie.

Su is great!!! I came here for a haircut and decided last minute to get highlights as well. Despite having a hectic schedule with clients filing in nonstop, Su squeezed me in for an additional hour to get the highlights done. Su is very knowledgeable and genuine. My hair is thin so I wanted more layers throughout to create more volume. She aptly explained that multiple layers actually means cutting off more hair, which is not suitable for someone like me who does not have a lot to begin with lol. She focused instead on creating layers at the bottom, which resulted in sort of a billowing effect at the bottom that definitely makes my hair look fuller. When I asked about bangs, she also convinced me that bangs wouldn't work for my style, especially when it means I'd have to come in every two weeks to get them trimmed. I appreciated her factual approach to helping clients understand what would and would not work for our unique styles and needs, without trying to up-sell us into anything we might not need.The end result is awesome! I am super stoked by my new style and would be coming back for more! More...

I have been to Su twice for a haircut and once for a balayage. Both haircuts and the color job were fantastic. After my haircut, Su was very kind as to  teach me how to style my hair with a curling iron so that I could recreate the hairstyle at home. I was a complete newbie at using the hair iron but she was very patient and made sure that I got the technique. The balayage in particular was excellent since I requested a natural color and style and she executed it to perfection. I don't think I will be going to any other stylist as long as I'm in the area!

Ok, I'm about an hour out of the salon, but I have to say that I LOVE MY HAIR I came in with a self-done silver-blue hair, complete with some damage. After about 7 months of upkeep, I've gotten tired of it. I've done extensive research for the best salon, and it led me to Nabi Salon. First off, everyone at the salon is SUPER nice, chill, and welcoming. The salon is clean, organized, and has a comfortable atmosphere. Su, the owner and who did my hair, was absolutely fabulous! She was very patient and determined to get me the light ash brown hair I wanted (it took about 2 1/2hrs). Erica was also fantastic as she washed my hair and styled as much as she can. With the new color and trim, my hair is healthier than it has been in almost a year! And, I learned a new way to style my hair. Now, I don't have to rely on my straightener, too.

I've been coming to see Su for a while now; heard about her from a girlfriend whose hair always looks amazing!  I love Su.  She introduced me to keratin treatments, which are the first chemical treatments I've ever done on my middle aged hair.  I love them and get them about three times per year.  So far, they've tamed my hair's increasing frizziness and coarseness.  With hair looking and feeling silky and lush, I've been able to stave off coloring, although with silver streaks gradually encroaching, I'll probably be consulting her at some point.  Su has never given me a bad cut.  I'm Asian and have thick, coarse, mostly black, mostly straight hair that hangs past my shoulders.   I'm low maintenance and in a disorganized rush every morning, mostly wearing my hair up in a bun, but on weekends sometimes I'll let it down.  She coaxes my stubborn hair into something I feel great about!  She has vision, but doesn't go crazy and take me out of my comfort zone.  And she is funny, direct, and kind.  Weekend appointments are hard to get, but that's because she is fabulous and in high demand.  Thank you so much, Su!  You make me so happy!
