I get my hair cut and colored at Elizabeth H and always leave loving my hair. Elizabeth does a wonderful job highlighting my hair and listens to any special requests. I have long and somewhat layered hair and I appreciate how she is able to maintain length, while also getting rid of split ends. If you are looking for a great highlight and cut this is the place to go!

I went to Elizabeth H and had a great experience. They were friendly, professional, and I left very satisfied with my haircut. My hair is curly and can be challenging to cut; I have ended up with wings on the side of my head in the past. I will definitely continue to come back!

This was my first visit and my last. I asked for a chin length bob, long layers and side tapered bangs. Bobs are probably the most common haircut, having been around for decades. I first started getting a bob haircut with side tapered bangs in Dallas, TX years ago and was always very happy with my cut. Since moving to the Bay area 12 years ago, I have used 8 different stylists at various salons and not one (1) of them has been able to give me a bob haircut with side tapered bangs. Every haircut has left me disappointed and frustrated. Everyone I know has the same bad experience with stylists in

I have been a client for three years with Elizabeth. I had to find a new hairstylist after my old one retired. I spent a whole year getting my hair butchered and regrowing it trying to find someone who understood what my haircut needed. I found Elizabeth and she listened to me and worked with me to get the proper cut. She was very patient and after a few sessions, she created (and continues to) the perfect haircut for me. I get so many compliments on my hair and really appreciate her effort on giving me by best look. Thank you!
