Chapin Court Salon

Toshiko has magic hands! She cut, colored and blew out my hair. She really gave my hair the much needed TLC it deserved. I’m super particular about who touches my hair and Toshiko truly did an amazing job. She has a great eye and you can tell by the way she treats her clients that she truly loves what she does. She listens to what her client wants and gives you tons of suggestions and great tips! I’ll definitely be coming back to see Toshiko!

Toshiko cut and colored my hair after a couple months of growing it out and I am so happy with my decision to cut/​color it! My hair looks and feels super healthy after cutting about 4 inches off and putting 3 different dimension highlights in. Toshiko knows exactly what she’s doing and it is obvious with her work. I will definitely be coming back as she is now my go-​to! Thanks Toshiko!

Got my hair colored by Toshiko after a referral.
I am so glad that my hair is back to normal and looking good!
more importantly,
my hair is becoming restored again thanks to taking care of my hair with the right salon quality hair care products!
I am happy and will be coming back :).

Christina is amazing!!! My cousin Jennifer had her hair done by Christina and recommended me to have my color done by her as well. She did EXACTLY the color I had showed her and I am so happy! Thank you!
Schedule your appointment with her at her website,
. you’ll be happy you did! :)

Julia is the best! I’ve been going to her for a few years now and she always does an excellent haircut, highlight, and blowout. She’s great with my long hair and keeping it looking healthy and flattering. Recently got highlights from her and they were exactly what I wanted– subtle, sun-​kissed color. I live in LA but come back for her skills. Thanks Julia for a perfect cut every time!

Toshiko did an incredible job with my hair. Went in not knowing what I wanted and walked out feeling like a million bucks. Thanks Toshiko!

Toshiko is amazing. She knows exactly what to do, how to do it, and how to make you feel like a model. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’ve always been hesitant about cutting my hair, but when I go to Toshiko I am completely at ease. I’ve brought 3 different hair style pictures to her over the past year and each time she has made me look BETTER than the pictures – it’s amazing.
She is very confident and takes pride in her work, she has never disappointed me. If you need a cut, trim, change of hairstyle – She’s your girl. You’re in the best hands possible over there when you have Toshiko!

This review is for Christina, hair colorist extraordinaire! I have been a happy client of hers for years now and have followed her to each salon she has ended up at. Over the years, whatever color I have asked for, I have received. I must admit, there are times I’ve gone in to my appointments indecisive, but each time she has worked with me to decide the best route to go with my hair. You can always schedule a consultation with her before you book any services, but rest assured she will chat with you at your appointment to find out what you look you want to achieve before she mixes any colors. (P.S. Bringing some pictures is always helpful!) Speaking of chatting, it always is fun coming in for an appointment and just talking with her about whatever :) The salon also has pretty recent copies of US Magazine so you can catch up on your celebrity gossip!
I must say, if you’re into caramel highlights, you need to see Christina — she does that color extremely well! However, I’ve tried an all-​over red tint with her and absolutely loved the results! If red weren’t so hard for me to maintain, I would’ve stuck with it. At my most recent appointment with Christina, I asked for something not requiring too much maintenance after having had to deal with red, and she suggested balayage. I didn’t really know too much about it, but I went with it anyway: p I’m so used to foil highlights and the more uniform look you can achieve with it, so the balayage highlights took a little getting used to at first. Now, I absolutely love it! She uses Olaplex too, which is supposed to protect your hair from damage when going lighter. I’ve gotten quite a few compliments on my hair, which now has a brown base and caramel highlights, with a little bit of honey mixed in as well. I’ve also gotten complimented on the condition of my hair :)
There were a couple of times I had to go back for color I thought was too light or vibrant for me, but they were quick, easy fixes and I ended up more than satisfied with the final results :)
Some things FYI:
— In addition to color and highlights, Christina does cuts, extensions, and straightening.
— The salon shares a parking lot with BevMo, which you enter from on Chapin Ave.
— There’s 2 hour validation when an attendant is present.
— Walk from the lot toward the gate on the right to find the salon.

I love Toshiko !! She is so talented and creative! I asked for a new bold black color and style for my hair that would make it look pretty and shiny and she cut it beautifully! The color is so rich and beautiful!
It really made me feel great! Everyone has been complimenting it! Also her scalp massages are on point when she washes your hair!
Toshiko is super fun to talk to! And did I mention she’s gorgeous?! She is awesome! Will be coming back! Super nice salon in Burlingame!

Being a newbie to the west coast, the only thing I have missed was my hair diva back home. A friend recommended Cheyanne, you can appreciate how difficult this was for me having the same gal for years… The hair gods were good to me!!! Love this salon. Everyone is friendly, I love the environment, and cheyanne «gets me» lol. I feel at home and at ease and always leave feeling awesome.

Julia is my absolute favorite!
She is the best hair stylist i have ever had!
My highlights are fabulous and hair cut is on point each time!
She improves her skills and uses new amazing techniques constantly.
Julia is very professional and customer service oriented which makes seeing her fun and pleasure every time !!!
All the other stylist are friendly and customer service oriented as well.
I am a customer for life and recommend this babe if you want to look fabulous! :)))

Julia, Julia, Julia!!! I can not say enough wonderful things about this girl. I have never been happier with my hair in my entire life. Julia LISTENS TO YOU. If I need two centimeters chopped off my hair, she cuts two centimeters. If I show her a picture and say, «this is the color I want.» She perfectly duplicates it. I have been traumatized to let anybody cut my hair. I started cutting it myself and it’s been almost 12 years now that I’ve let anybody even come near me with a pair of scissors. But when Julia asks if I need a trim, I say yes every time because I know she won’t do anything behind my back. She explains everything she does. There’s no surprises with her! Which I love! Other places will do «extra» things for you and not tell you until after but not Julia. She keeps me informed and teaches me as we go along so that next time I come in, I can know what’s going on. She’s so passionate and sweet, I highly recommend her for cut or color or style or literally anything you want to do to your hair. If you want someone you can trust to give you what you want, GO TO JULIA! 5 stars all the way!

I’ve only had 2 hair stylists in my life and have been going to Melissa (who is also the owner) for over 20 years. She is amazing and does a great job each time. Other stylists in the shop are friendly as well and seems to me that their clients leave happy.

I went to Michele Herrera for years only to find out that most stylists would never
high light a client hair every 4 weeks and on top in that her prices kept going up
and she was often late for appointments
needless to say I won’t be going back

Luna is amazing! Every time I leave her, I feel fabulous and refreshed. When I say I only want a little trim and please keep the length, I am never disappointed. Luna has been doing my hair for years now and I follow her wherever she goes. She always takes the time to give me feedback on whatever crazy idea I have for my hair and keeps it real! When you need a haircut Luna is your gal, I promise you will love it!

Jeryl, point blank period, is AMAZING! I live in San Francisco, but I have no problem making the drive out to Burlingame, to get my hair done. She is a veteran stylist and creative artist, that always leaves me feeling like the sexiest version of myself, even months after our session. She just knows how to cut my hair and shape it just right, so it still falls with that same bounce and wave, as if I just got the cut. I cannot imagine letting anyone else go near my hair, and I am thankful for Jeryl’s skills, as well as, her awesome personality. Once you sit in her chair, you will instantly feel like you’re at the «Cheers» version of salons. Make your appointment now, and elevate your hair game, with JERYL!
Chapin Court, as a whole salon, is equally great. All of the stylists and front desk managers are very helpful and kind, and always assure quality treatment, whether you are in the waiting area or already being seen.

I moved to San Mateo a few months ago and decided I needed to find a new closer salon. I loved my old salon but too far to go to now. I have naturally curl hair and it isn’t easy to find someone who knows how to cut it. I came across this place on Unilocal and decided to call and spoke with GLORIA! I am very happy I did! She is the BEST! She has curly hair as well and her hair is gorgeous, so I knew my hair was in good hands. She gave me a few layers and some shorter curls around my face to give it more bounce and volume. I am in love with my curls again! They are bouncy and full of life and have received some great compliments. Gloria is my new go to hair stylist!
I didn’t rate it a five because it is on the pricey side but I guess that’s what a great haircut cost now adays.

I’ve been going to Chapin for over two years now. Richard is the best! I moved here 3 years ago and I tried a few other salons. Finding a great hairdresser is tough! Richard works with what you’ve got and experiments with you-​not ON you! We’ve tried a couple different cuts and have landed the perfect thing for me. He also does great color that is gentle on your hair… and is the nicest guy ever!
The salon is attractive and clean and everyone working there is very friendly.

It was that time again, time to get a HC!
I tried to get an appointment with Jeryl, but she was unavailable so I thought I would try Julia who also had some pretty good ratings on Unilocal.
It was definitely a good haircut. It was a bit on the expensive side, especially for a no frills haircut.

Julia is great!!! I follow her work on Instagram and couldn’t wait for to work her magic on my boring head of mousy brown hair.
She did a wonderful job turning my boring brown locks into golden happiness!!!
She is a pleasure to talk to as well!!! Cannot wait for my next session!!!
