Read More On Citysearch gefun 4/23/2010 - The best thing that has ever happened to my hair!I moved to San Jose a few years ago and have been trying to find a stylist that was good, and not over priced. I never found a place or stylist that I loved. Finally, I came across Alooks Salon and gave them a call. I was able to get an appointment with Joy. I told her that I wasn't sure what I wanted. Something a little crazy but still professional and she gave me an amazing cut and color. We ha...
Read More On Citysearch crissypric 1/11/2010 - Best cut & color I've gotten in years!Got my hair cut & colored by ERIN last hollyday(new year) - love it! This is the best cut and color I've gotten in years!
I had a general idea what I wanted, but also wanted to get some suggestions from ERIN since she's the pro. Usually, when I get a haircut, it pretty much ends up looking like a refreshed version of the cut I already had - even when I ask for something different. ERIN made some...

She gave me exactly what i wanted and more. I've never felt so glamorous in my life!! I was getting compliments on my hair all night!
She also does makeup! All i said was that i wanted a natural look - and she ga...
Read More On Citysearch Loralyn 830 11/9/2009 - Want to Experiment? COME ON OVER!All my life since my teenage years, I have always had long hair. I did not cut it when Demi Moore's boy cut was all the rage. I did not cut it when long hair were deemed to be old fashioned. It's not that I did not want to be fashionable, but I have always been afraid that I'd look like a freak.
When my best friend, Melinda, cut her hair short, she pretty much raved about Alooks. I decided...

I know that I can always trust that she knows exactly what she is doing and she has never failed me. She is a natrual at doing what she does! You just know it when you speak with her and see what quality work she does. I always get my color, cut,...

But I left the salon with a bit of a worry in my head if i was ever gonna look that way again... that it was gonna be another time when hair looks good the day you cut it and its all bad from the next day when you don't have time or patience to style it... But I'm really HAPPY.. it looks great even after the natu...

Read More On Citysearch blue25 4/21/2009 - Thank you Joy!I have tried stylists all over California, and have never been as consistently thrilled with anyone as much as Joy. She not only listens closely to what you want, but also will be honest with you about what will look good on you given your face shape, coloring and hair type. After over 20 years of having long hair, I decided I was ready for a big change, and last week Joy cut off more than 9 inc...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/20/2009 - Good and New to Alooks!!I don't know about you, but it's a total hard for me to find a good stylist, who's accommodating, flexible and willing to work with my OCD behaviors concerning my hair. That is why I love Erin, who's new to Alooks.
IMHO, she is the best! She is willing to come in on her days off, she calms me down when I spazz out with the sight of more ghastly gray hairs, and will cater to my every whim......
Read More On Citysearch sherrie39 3/9/2009 - Fun and creative!Joy has been doing my hair for about 1 year - she kicks major butt. She's taken my a-line bob as short or long as I like it, and she always makes the exact little changes I ask for. Every time I think of something fun to do with my color, she always takes it a step further, and it ALWAYS looks even better than I could have imagined. I get compliments on my hair from friends and total strangers...

Read More On Citysearch yaritzat 1/29/2009 - Wonderful nail technician at AlooksMy regular nail salon in Santa Cruz was closed temporarily, so I made an appointment with Hanh at Alooks based on the salon reviews here. I was really happy! Hanh took more time with my nails than did my usual technician in Santa Cruz, and she did a much better job. Normally, my acrylics will begin to separate around the edges after the first several days. But that did not happen when Hahn worked...

Horrific. I went in just for a trim (specifying that I'm going to be in a wedding next week and didn't want any changes) and she changes the style completely, and not for the better. I opened my eyes to find thick, blunt cut bangs where there used to be a sideswept short bob. When I complained, her work got increasingly slapdash, missing spots and cutting way to short in others. I couldn't wait ...
