The Nook, Santa Cruz CA

Aisha was amazing cutting my curly hair and teaching me how to take care of it!

I absolutely adore this place, and my experience was fantastic. I worked with Wendy, who was super fun to talk to and took such good care of my hair. I wanted to go from dyed red to blonde, and Wendy’s advice made me feel like I was getting sincere, honest feedback about the process, but that I also had an opportunity to embrace the challenge and try something new. She was super clear about possible risks and about what the process would entail, as well as prices, so I never felt stressed or unsure about what to expect. I was also able to get a consultation before hand to talk about options. At the same time, when I decided I’d like to go blonde, she did a fantastic job! I’m thrilled with the color of my hair and have been getting tons of complements. I could talk a lot more about my experience of being there because it was so great, but I’ll just say that this is a really lovely, adorable, special environment to get your hair done— with great people who really care about the health of your hair and about communicating well. Thanks, Wendy! I’m SUPER excited about this new color! I LOVE IT!

Best salon experience ever! Wendy was an angel and gave me a great, refreshing haircut. They even taught me a few things about my hair.
