I have been coming to this salon for years. It says a lot when I drive/fly all the way from the Bay Area to see Aldo. He does a phenomenal job, and I only trust him to do my hair. If he was across the country I'd probably fly there too. Haha. I have so much trust that he already knows what I like with my hair, and I don't even have to tell him. He genuinely takes pride in his salon and work and will make sure you are satisfied. Because I've been coming to this salon for awhile, I've also seen the work of Ruby who also does hair. She does a fantastic job as well. Trust me when

I agree with the other reviewer the salon is very pricey and wouldn't recommend, they list or give you one price on phone and after the service is done, in the bill they quote very high, not even close to the mentioned price.

This salon is pricey and pricing always fluctuates based upon who you speak with... A price for a specific service will be provided by phone then after service is completed Aldo will state a substantially higher price.
