I went here for my hair color appointment. Lubna did a terrific job. I explained it to her as to what I wanted in terms of color and style and she did a great job. She took her time, tried out different color shades and then we finally decided to go with dark brown shade. The color came out really good even without bleaching. I would definitely recommend them for any hair appointment. More...

Jenny and Lubna are terrific and I know the the other stylists are too. I recently colored and did a full on keratin treatment with them  and they are so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and truly care about their clients. I have been to other salons in the area and nothing compares to their services. Also love their interior decor; I love the crystal chandelier in the front and their furnishings, you feel like a princess in a fairy castle They are my go to salon moving forward! More...

Lubna always blesses my hair. She is very thorough with explaining what she is doing and why. She always asks what you are looking to achieve and what your hair concerns are. Being in the loop while shes working on your hair gives you so much more confidencem. You are actually being listened to by a stylist here which is something i've struggled to find with other stylists. You WILL be taken care of here. It is such a welcoming environment! Thank you Lubna More...

This review is for Jenny! She is an absolute sweetheart! I got gum in my hair the night before and thought I could live with it if I cut it myself. ...I could not live with it! I was frantically looking for a salon and Tonic salon was the fourth place I called and Jenny answered and booked me right away! Saw her literally ten minutes after hanging up! Went in there and the salon was like something out of my dreams! Pink ceiling, pink chairs, diamonds! I felt like a little girl in a castle! I was ill and scared poor Jenny when I fainted, she took care of my hair, and me! She did an amazing job cutting my hair! What a turn of events! I'm very, very picky about stylist' but good gawd she knew what I wanted! More...

I don't even know where to begin!! The salon is cute, clean and hip! Everyone seems friendly and nice. But this review is really for La-Ron. He is amazing!!! I can't even really tell you in words how much I love La-Ron. I went in because I needed a change I gave him artistic freedom and he did not disappoint. I went in with long hair a little past the middle of my back with the only instruction that I gave was that I didn't want to be able to put it in a ponytail. He said he had an idea and I said ok!!!! He gave me the greatest haircut something I would never had even in my wildest dreams thought would look good on me or that I would love so much!!! It was the first time in a long time that when I left the hair salon I wasn't thinking "it's not that bad.... it's just hair it grows." I've been back to see La-Ron 3 times since and each time I am never disappointed!!! If you're looking for a great stylist and colorist look no further La-Ron is your guy!!! More...

Called Tonic and left a message and someone called back to say Kent was available.  I was in desperate need of a trim and I had no preference, so I said have him call me.  We texted and it worked out so nicely he was able to see me that night.  He listened to what I wanted and I was very happy with the cut - long layers.  I thought the wash and handling of my long hair was nice, not whispy and ineffective but not too rough either.  The price was a bit higher than expected for the cut but I'm happy, so that counts for a lot.  I'll be giving him a call soon for a freshen up.

Tonic is a very comfortable and pretty salon. Wink, is my stylist. What a great job she does! I get compliments on my hair all the time. I am a challenge because I am constantly changing what I want.

I met Wink about 5 years ago when I arrived at her salon with out and appointment but in desperate need of a bang trim. Wink was kind enough to stop what she was doing and cut my bangs for free in between appointments. From then on, Wink has given me the best haircuts I have ever had. I get compliments all the time and her haircuts last months and still look great! I recently got my hair highlighted by Wink which was my first hair color ever. It still looks amazing 3 months later and I am so grateful for her work! Tonic Salon is fancy and clean and Wink is so flexible and kind with scheduling appointments for me. More...

Kent does a great job. His prices are very reasonable compared to wider Bay Area and especially the Peninsula. He is experienced and does an expert job with color/cuts. I have ALWAYS been happy with my hair after leaving Kent and get many compliments on the color in particular. He is a great stylist. I have been seeing Kent for five years both at Tonic and previous salons and would highly recommend him if you want to be assured of great color and cut. More...

I have been seeing Wink for about 7 years now, and when my moms hairdresser moved a few years ago, she began seeing Wink too. We absolutely LOVE HER! Until a few years ago, I only saw her for cuts but now that I've started coloring my hair, I totally trust that I will be happy with anything she does!! About a year ago, my mom and I also decided to get extensions. The kind of extensions that Wink specializes in are so amazing and natural looking. My mom and I have always had very thin, fragile, and short hair, so having long and thick beautiful hair has been life changing!!! I would definitely recommend Wink to everyone for all around hair services!! More...

This place is 5 stars on so many levels. First of all the salon itself is beautiful! Secondly, it is a salon that offers practically any beauty service you may need (hair cut/color, extensions, nails, eyelashes, etc. ). Third, this is not a salon where you will leave unhappy, from what I have observed the staff is super talented and stylish, and they really pay attention to detail.    I got my cut/color and extensions done with Wink. She is the one to go to if you want natural looking gorgeous extensions. When I came to her my hair was a disaster in the beginning, the previous salon that colored my hair gave me streaky orange highlights/color that was darker than the extensions I was wearing at the time. It was a complete mess which Wink was able to tame and transform! :) She started by highlighting and toning my hair to better match the new extensions she ordered for me, which turned out to be so on point that the transition between my real hair and extensions is seamless! I LOVE my new hair.     The quality of the extensions themselves are out of this world. I honestly forget that I have extensions in when I am doing my hair, which is a great change from what I had before. Wink pays attention to detail so much that she won't let you leave with hair that's anything less than perfect.   I highly recommend this salon and Wink's extension services to anybody looking for high quality beauty! :) More...

Anybody over 25 will have enough experience of different salons to know which to steer clear of and which to visit regularly. Despite Yelp's very restricted allowance for who is allowed to praise a business, this salon has as loyal a clientele as any you will find among the 'beauty addicted' in Hollywood or socially connected.A good hairdresser can provide a look that a client asks for. A great hairdresser earns the trust of a client so that any suggestion for a new look is accepted without question.A phenomenal hairdresser is a stylist and seeks to provide not only the complete package that gives the client that extra surge in self-confidence; but goes to extraordinary measures to continue to learn the craft so that the latest and greatest is always available at the salon.Looks are tremendously important in any era, never more so than the present age. This is a kind and talented staff that supplies a sanctuary that one enters with pleasure and with confidence. More...

I've been going to Sataya for Eyelash Extension for a few months now, and I only regret that I didn't start seeing her sooner!  The eyelashes look natural, yet totally have volume and length.  With my permanent eye liner, I can literally "wake up like this"!  So thrilled to be able to try the 3D brow with Sataya as well!  I had my eyebrows tattooed and touched up, however, my lack of eyebrow hair as always made me feel that my tattoos look unnatural.  3D brow helped to enhance my eyebrow tattoo, and help it look like I actually have hair!  Highly recommended!  Sataya is a sweet heart, and really good at what she does!

Sorry, I'm a bit biased.  I've been seeing Liz for at least 7 years.  Oops, guess it means I'm aging myself here.  ANYWHO, I have strayed away from Liz a few times and always found myself coming back.  When you find someone you really like, HOLD ON TO THEM FOR DEAR LIFE.  She always takes awesome care of my hair.  I'm effectively lazy.  I don't want to do jack crap for my hair when I get up in the morning.  I'm the 'wash n go' kind of gal and by golly, Liz makes sure that my cuts last and that my hair style fits my life style and just looks fab.  I just let her 'do whatever she wants' and she works her magic.  I give her a little guidance on if I want to go short or long and she just goes to town.  BTW, she's also a super doll to talk to.  The woman's got a memory like an elephant.  She always remembers my stories and knows how to get me to crack up.  Seeing her is like seeing an old friend.  I'm so not trading her in for anything.  I already told her that she's not allowed to leave that salon as long as I'm local!

Although this review is strictly about Sataya, the eyelash and nail technician, I would like to mention that I've always been treated very pleasantly by everyone who works at this salon. It is very clean and adorable!I've been going to see Sataya for about 3 years now, and this recommendation is grossly overdue. I know this is very long, but I really want to point out important traits that have kept me a client for so long. Will try to stay efficient!Sataya has invaluable qualities in terms of what you'd be looking for in an eyelash/nail technician, or any service provider. She's clean and completely sanitaryshe never touches my eyelashes or nails with tools that touched others. I leave with the brush she used on my eyelashes that day with every appointment. She also wears a mask and always washes her hands.She's fair in general but specifically with her prices and with her time.Heard the expression, "you get what you pay for?". In my opinion with Sataya, you get more than you pay for.She incredibly professionalShe's been understanding with me and has always been very communicative if anything comes up. In 3 years she has maybe asked if I could reschedule once or twice (which is incredible), but in every case I've had plenty of notice, she was apologetic and in turn was understanding for the times I, too, needed to make a change.She's very knowledgeable about her tradeI probably have a new question for her every time and she always has the answer. She has maintained my natural eyelash health and I've been able to continue to get lashes without damage, balding or irritation. She knows about the products she uses and sells, and knows how to give advice to tailor to your questions. She also will never apply lashes in a way that your natural lashes can't handle. During a time where I was under a lot of stress and my lashes had weakened, she altered the length and thickness of my extensions in an effort to accommodate and aid regrowth and health. It always worked. If you're truly looking to invest in your eyelashes for the long term, I highly recommend her.She's a perfectionistHer work is the best I've ever seen. I am constantly complimented on my lashes, while a lot of ppl even think they're real (which is amazing to hear since I do get very long extensions). I have seen extensions done by a lot of ppl. Hers are hands down the best I've seen EVER. Her manicures are also the best I've ever seen, and I think that speaks volumes because there are a lot more nail technicians than eyelash technicians in this area. She's just such a perfectionist. You won't leave without looking exactly how you wanted to. (Sataya, I hope this doesn't add a lot of anxiety to your job, lol)Bottom line, we all work hard for our money and expect a certain level of results, customer service and experiences for our money. You will not be disappointed by Sataya. Her service is worth her prices and more. Her professionalism is a breath of fresh air and she is just a great, positive person to be around in general!

My review is for Cheri at Tonic Salon.  I love this place!  The decor is fun, upbeat and hip.  I've been in now 3x and on one occasion brought my kids.  The owner made my kids hot coco and gave them each a cookie.  It's not always fun to have kids tag along but everyone there made me feel ok about it.  (I've also now had her cut both kids hair and she does a great job on both boys and girls.)Cheri is a great stylist.  I've seen her on/off for a few years and recently came back to her after a year.  I'd left for a much more expensive stylist & colorist who were flying in from Los Angeles and Isreal (no joke) every 8 weeks.  While they were really good -- the cost was $$$ and in the end, Cheri is just as good and she's local!  She gives great haircuts -- the kind that last.  She is also a very good listener and cares about both making you happy but also setting realistic expectations of what your hair can and can't do.  I appreciate that since I have vert thin, fine hair.Cheri is also great with color.  As a brunette who likes to go between lighter golden highlights and darker brown, Cheri is so good at keeping my hair healthy, shiny and looking natural.  She's always a great conversationalist and happy to see me.  My favorite part of the appointment is when we are finished and Cheri styles my hair.  She always gives me a great blowout or awesome beachy waves that leave me looking great.  She's also shown me how to achieve the same look at home with what I have.I've recommended Cheri to a few friends over the years and they continue to see her.  If you're looking for a current style, a great cut, flawless shiny color and a relaxing appointment, give Cheri a try.  She's terrific!

Today I only said, "I think I'd like it a little shorter than shoulder length."
