Scout did my hair and i love it. She took to time to listen to me and actually did what I asked for, which I love. They also use good hair product so my hair looked great and felt great when I left. It's a nice clean bright environment and they offered me a limosa (they're very own specialty) which is a nice touch. Changing hair dressers is always a hard...I recently moved to the area and feel so lucky to have found a place I want to go back to.

I loved it! I went to Limon salon for the first time and I was impressed with their service. The Salon was clean and the atmosphere was relaxing. They also sanitized the tools and chairs prior to my hair cut.

My stylist was Shazleena. She was awesome, friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend her to everyone. She gave me the best suggestions for the hair cut and did an awesome job ( )

This place is full of beauty and style. Lovely staff and great service. They know what's good for your hair. I go to Amanda and she is a star!
It is on a little expensive side but you and your hair deserve a good pamper once every 2-3 months.
I love their decor and it doesn't feel musty or dark like many other bay area salons, it has a fresh feel to it.

Phat did an amazing job! I needed a corrective cut after visiting a different salon and Limon was able to get me in on (relatively) short notice. So lucky to have found Phat - he took time to understand what I wanted, explained all the products (but never made me feel obligated to buy anything), and showed me how to recreate his styling techniques at home. Most of all though, he was thorough! There wasn't a hair on my head he didn't meticulously trim and artfully style. So happy with my experience!

Pa was very attentive and made sure she knew exactly what I was looking for in blending my greys with a previous balayage. She also revived my long damaged hair with a glaze and precision trim. Great results (and mimosas;)

The shop was recommended to me by my roommate. My hair seemed so dry and decided I wanted a wash and blowout. I ended up having some waxing and getting a special conditioning treatment. Everyone in the shop is helpful and entertaining and knew their business. I will go back again soon and recommend them to others!

Weekly bleachings, dime store hair cuts, 450 degree straighteners... The Spanish Inquisition's got nothing on how badly I tortured my hair. I abused it to death. No, really - the entire back was fried to straw. But i called this morning, nearly in tears and at my wits end after a bad " Super cuts" experience, and they got me in just after lunch.

So, i get there. Funky atmosphere, and original artwork on the walls. Girl at the desk is cheerful with a modern style. Exactly what you want to see going into a place like this. She offers me a beverage, all top shelf options. Such a relaxing beginning.

Then comes my stylist. Shes also quite friendly. We go through my hair and its agreed, this is a god awful mess (she was far more respectful in her phrasing but im sure she was thinking it :P ) so we talk a bit, i show some photos (always take photos with you, girls. It helps a lot!) And she sighs. Ooooooh no. Oh god. Ive been trying so hard to grow it out. Do we have to? She proceeds to gently explain what she feels is the best course of action. Ive known some doctors who could take a lesson from her about bedside manner. I ended up agreeing to a chin length bob cut. Goodbye, shoulder length hair. I'll miss feeling you on my shoulders but this is for the best.

She was careful but not ridiculously slow. It took awhile but i think that's because she had to find a happy medium between getting all the fried hair out and not giving me a pixie cut.
An hour after i sat down, i finally got to put my glasses back on. I was stunned at how cute my hair was. The color looked real again, and the straw was all gone! At money time, she showed me the products she recommended, shook my hand, then went back to her station before i even got my card out. This is a HUGE thing for me. When a stylist hangs around, i have a hard time not feeling insanely pressured to buy the recommended products. Even if i have the same thing at home already. I found her behavior very respectful.

Walking down the street, the wind tried to screw it up, but it just couldnt. Total Pocahontas a la disney. Stuff just kept falling right back into perfect place when the wind died down.

Its expensive. With tip, I paid 100 even. But its also typical cost for the area, and you're getting way above typical service.

I have given this salon 2 chances. First time 1 year ago I got a haircut which was a disaster: "Rachel from Friends in the 90's". Totally ruined my bob cut with unnecessary layers. Second time was January 2017, asked for ashy blond highlights and got this dark and brassy color. My original base was also ruined. I don't recommend this salon for blonds or trendy short haircuts. Service was polite but It doesn't replace bad quality.

Ursula did a stellar coloring job on my hair. Just moved to the area, and very grateful to have found "the best." I do not hesitate to recommend her to be able to figure out what would look best for a person. She is a real artist.

Great service, Hank is great too. Obviously not the place for you if you're on a tight budget. But I'm having my wedding soon, so it's a small price to pay to ensure I have the look I want. Worth every dollar.

I was looking for a new hairdresser, since mine moved out of state. After looking at all the excellent reviews on yelp, I called and made an appointment (don't want to name the hairdresser's name). I got there a bit early for my appointment, there was nobody at the reception desk, but I saw a few hairdressers at their stations. I was happy to see that they carry Oribe products, so I walked around looking at these products and making a list of what to buy. I noticed that I spent about 10 minutes in the reception area, nobody said hello to me, nobody bothered to ask with whom my appointment was - nothing! I was just flat out being ignored and totally left to myself! Needless to say, I really didn't feel welcome or appreciated as a customer. So, I walked out! Sorry to say that, but that was my experience!!!

Another great experience at Limon Salon. I attempted many times to get back to my natural color on my own. I got further and further from a normal color with my skin tone. My hair looked damaged, dull, and my roots were way lighter than the rest of my hair.

Andrea did a consultation with me and explained in great detail of what I was doing wrong and what would work for me to get back on the track of healthy flattering hair. I can't believe she achieved it all the next day.

She got me to a perfect color, gave me a treatment to make it healthier, and a perfect haircut. Andrea is professional, knowledgeable & friendly. The stylists at Limon Salon always give off a kind easy going vibe. They make you feel welcome.

I went here for the first time a few months ago and had a stylist randomly assigned to me, Anthony. He asked me a lot of questions, was very gentle with my extremely thick and difficult hair, and gave me an amazing haircut - better than I've been given in a long, long time. Most people trim way too much, and I always leave feeling frustrated. Anthony was careful to trim the really bad parts but maintain the length. I will definitely be going back!

My daughter used their services for a blond baby highlights last Tuesday with Briana, after 5 hours,,, my 17 year old Daughter looked exactly the same,, actually a bit darker than before.. I tried to speak with the manager and he Is not calling me back and its nothing they said they can do about it.

My daughter was upset and crying, she was exciting to get a new hair look before school starts,, but she got disappointed big time plus she had to pay 250.00 dollars for nothing..

I WONT RECOMMEND THIS SALON,, the levels of experience stylist they described does not work, its all about money...,, the more experience,,, the more money..... expensive... but they should be doing a better job,,,, and better Customer Service Experience for new clients.....

Victor is a STAR. I was nervous about getting a bob so asked a lot of questions as my hair was cut, but Victor was sweet the whole time and made sure I was comfortable with his process. He gave me the best haircut I have had in a really long time! I live in NYC now and wish I could go back to him every time!
Used google $50 for $75 deal- total with tip was $65.

I went here twice, the first for a consultation on my hair and then the actual Brazilian Blowout (my stylist was Taylor). This was the first time I was getting a Brazilian Blowout and walked in with the expectation of having frizz-free hair. However, 3 days after my service, the frizz was back.

At this point, I emailed the salon explaining the issue, but there was no response. I then contacted my stylist who proceeded to inform me (for the first time) that Brazilian Blowout only gets rid of 60% frizz. Instead of fixing the issue, she asked me to come in for a followup Keratin Express
service (a paid service btw).

The stylist was extremely unprofessional and brushed off the incident, saying things like "I'm also learning right now" and "I've asked a few other stylists about the intended effects of Brazilian Blowout and it's only 60% frizz reduction". The staff proceeded to ignore me and left me to directly deal with the stylist, refusing to intervene.

The stylist also (again, for the first time) mentioned that just the treatment would not help and I'd have to buy a long laundry list of products to keep the hair smooth and frizz free.

Considering that this was a ~500$ service and the first time I was getting a Brazilian Blowout, I was expecting information and guidance, both of which were lacking in the 5 hours in total I spent at the salon. If I was told that the service would not get rid of the frizz, I would've gotten my hair straightened for a fraction of the price instead.

I never been to a high priced salon before but honestly I'm so glad I came here. I never had a haircut that I was happy with before but I love my new hair. The staffs are very friendly as well and for me it was worth every penny.

Went here for a haircut because it seemed stylish. Janet made me wait nearly an hour for an past my appointment time to start, then she seemed rushed to end day. It was one of the worst haircuts I ve ever had. There were pieces that were uncut sticking out that I had to trim at home. Had to get it recut a week later. Worst $86 spent - total disappointment.

I love it here! I just moved to the area and was looking for a new salon and I'm so glad I found Limon. I went in to get my haircut in preparation for my wedding and Crystal was sure to give me updates every step of the way to make sure I was satisfied. My hair looks amazing I'm ready for my wedding and I will definitely be coming back to the salon as my go-to!!

Loving my fresh new haircut from Maura! I have lots of new and weird growth after having telogen effluvium and am wanting to grow out my hair, so she was very thorough with describing style options and making sure I was comfortable with the length. The guamosa didnt hurt either ;) #lovelimon
