Le Visage Salon

Samera is amazing! I have thick, curly hair, and it was so hard to find a good hairstylist who knew how to cut my kind of hair. I have been coming here the past 5 years and am pleased with the results every time. Samera knows exactly how to cut my hair so that it can be styled straight or curly. She also gave me good tips on how to take care of my hair and told me which ingredients to avoid in shampoos/​conditioners, so my hair not only looks better but is healthier too!

i will never go back there to do body wraps…
last year i schedule my FIRST body wraps. i came in on time she told me to sign some papers and i did. i didn’t feel welcome at all.
she start wrapping me and she was upset why i applied lotion. i told her when i book the appointment you never told me what to do. just like i said its my first time .then i ask her aren’t you supposed to measure me first before you start wrapping me? and she just told me «oh you want to be measure?.. and i told her how would i know if i really lost some inches?.
she’ rude! she FUCKING BURN ME with her busting liquid. when i keep telling her its burning!, its burning! she just told me «oh your so sensitive’ i told her NO! i’m serious its burning. so, she when and get some cold water. i was so mad already
so, i finish the session i just wanna get away on that place. then she unwrap me. her voice change when i saw her the BURNING SPOT! she act like she’s all concern…
I WILL NEVER RECOMMENT THIS PLACE!

I’ve been going to Meetra for Brazilians for quite some time and it’s about time for a review. Meetra is EXTREMELY thorough, asks what you want in case you’ve decided to change up the «style». She keeps the convo going while ripping the hairs out hahahahaha
The salon itself is well kept as well as her work area. She preps the area to be waxed, cleans you off and then leaves you be so that you can clean yourself up more with that oil stuff. Amazing!
Yes, I’ve cheated on her from time to time (gasp!) and each time I am less than pleased. Not that they weren’t good, they just aren’t as good as Meetra, she’s set the bar pretty damn high.
She also tries to accommodate last minute calls as best she can given her schedule and I TOTALLY appreciate it! Being I am that girl that has to call in and NOT have a pre-​set appointment because of my hectic work schedule.
In short if you need a silky smooth chocha, Meetra is the lady to see!

Samera ROCKS and does a FABULOUS job on my hair ech and every time, I never have a long wait and have been treated great each and every time!
Thank you for making me look FABULOUSO! :) :)

Meetra is the Da Vinci of eyebrows. I have lived in 4 cities, one of them a beauty capital, and have never found anyone as skilled as her.

This salon is ridiculous. They’re never open and they only have like 3 people working. The only reason why they can still afford rent is because they over price their stuff to the max. To get your eyebrows done there is $ 15. You can go around the corner to «Shivas» for $ 5. The owner Meetra is crazy. She brings her kid to the salon instead of leaving him at home with a babysitter. How many people do you know do that? How un professional. Oh an also, Meetras cosmotology license is expired.

SAMERA is TERRIBLE with hair and is apathetic to her clients. Please try another salon, there is so much better out there than SAMERA!
I came here three times to get highlights in my hair from Samera. First time, she did ok, so I returned. Second time, she put these awful bleach blonde stripey highlights right at the front of my face. They were neon yellow and she saw I didn’t like them and said «Don’t worry, you’ll grow to like them.» They were hideous, the execution was appalling and instead of fixing them like a professional should, she just said I’ll grow to like them. I returned once more for her to correct them and she added more highlights in my hair. Good thing is she covered up the neon yellow, but bad thing is the highlights she gave me were GREEN! Instead of fixing them as she should, she just said «They’ll wash out.» Samera has an idea of how to do highlights, but she is terrible on the execution and delivering customer service. Absolute complete waste of over $ 700 giving this woman chances to redeem herself. People like her should not be doing hair if you can’t do it well and you don’t fix what you’ve messed up to make your client happy. I guess it’s partially my fault for returning three times to give her opportunities to redeem herself. My hard earned money down the drain :(

Le Visage is one of the best salons in Fremont for pretty much anything. I’ve been a client of Meetra at Le Visage for over 8 years for eyebrow waxing and I’m telling you no one does a better job than her. I’ve been to several other places prior to Le Visage and no one could do as great a job as her. I’ve tried threading before and the pain was not worth the minimal results I received. Afterwards, I tried waxing for $ 5 at the mall, and the lady did the procedure in two minutes and when I came out, my eyebrows were uneven and did not match the other. I even went to a place more expensive than Le Visage but they couldn’t achieve the perfect brows that Meetra does and quite simply gave me no reason to pay more for less results. I cannot trust anyone else but Meetra so even though I go college in Merced (2 hours away), I wait till I come home to get them done. Meetra takes her time to wax, trim, pluck, and arch your eyebrows to make your eyebrows look fabulous!
The salon is also very clean, professional, and chic; not to mention, the very relaxing and soothing atmosphere with calming music and relaxing lights and a very friendly staff. They also provide a very diverse range of services that are sure to cater to your needs. It’s also very easy to set up an appointment and the staff is always very accommodating to their customers to when you want to come in. I simply cannot stress enough, how wonderful Le Visage is, and you just need to go there for yourself because I’m telling you, you will not be disappointed in this salon and its services!!!

*Review for waxing only*
Meetra is amazing. She makes waxing as painless (as possible). I highly recommend her. She is quick and does a great job on my brows.

I had this experience 8 years ago. They may not have had a designated room for a manicurist, however, they must have hired a «contractor» if you will, temporarily during summer months or what have you, to offer nail services. The salon I work next door to does this and I’m thinking about hiring her as well to do nails for my dental office.
I have lived in Fremont for over 10 years and I know this salon very well. I drove past it for 5 years to go to work. My point is, why go through the length of lying about having a manicurist just to get my foot in the door. I mean just confess it you know?
It’s like the Seinfeld episode where Jerry goes to the dry cleaners to show them they shrunk his shirt and the cleaners just wont admit to it. Its the principal. I went there for services and the receptionist booked me for the service. Now weather she did that just to get me in the door as part of some bad marketing scheme or, she was so new she really didn’t know what they offered, the point is why carry out the lie after I came in.
This place is located on Grimmer where the pet hospital is and the sex shop is and where Subway is on the corner and a florist on the other side of the block. Now there are new condos across the street. I know this is the salon and they made a mistake and instead of fixing it by offering an apology, I was insulted by saying, «why do you go to that salon to do your hair when you could just come here» and on top of that no one told me there wasn’t a manicurist.
It is unprofessional of them and some people just don’t have any business tact. How could I have remembered such an ordeal that long ago if it didn’t burn me. I’m sure you may have been burned at one time or another as well and didn’t have peace about it. I got closure by calling them out on their mistake in public.
I hope people continue to receive great service. It just didn’t happen for me.

Went there for the first time and got my hair cut by Samera. It has been a LONG time since my last cut so my hair was looking like a disaster zone. She knew just what to do and my hair is all volumized now and looks great! She did a great job with the layers so there aren’t any awkward pieces, it looks well blended.
Definitely coming back here for my next cut because a good hair stylist is like a good dentist: once you find one you should never ever let go.

After how many years, this place still rates 5 stars in my book.
Meetra is always very accommodating with her clients. She’ll give you tips and advice about anything as she’s working her magic with her wax. Never a dull or quiet moment with her, which is excellent. I hate going to places like salons and not having a decent conversation with whoever is servicing me. Also, Meetra never double dips into her wax. I remember going to a couple places where I’ve seen it happen, and it absolutely disgusted me. I mean, what if the previous client had some weird junk or action going on in her private parts? Luckily, I never have to worry about that whenever I go to Le Visage. Meetra is a genius at waxing anything from eyebrows to full on Brazilians. I always experience the least amount of pain with her. I guess she just has those magic hands and fingers.
I’ve also tried their wraps a few times. Definitely worth the price (about $ 120) per wrap. I feel lighter, leaner, and more energized after a session. Meetra does the wraps here as well. She always makes sure that you get your money’s worth and keeps you in the wrap for as long as possible. She (or Andrea, who is the assistant) always re-​bastes you during your wrap as well, to keep everything all nice and moist. One major plus about getting the wraps for me wasn’t the instant slimming, but it was for the way it made my surgical scarring go down. I had some varicose veins removed (yeah, I know I’m young, but it’s a genetic thing) with surgery and it left some nasty scars. Albeit I was thrilled I didn’t have to go through the pains of the veins anymore, I was horrified with how my leg was scarred and slightly bumpy from the procedure. After going through a couple sessions, I noticed a significant decrease in bumps and my scars started to fade. Now, I have no bumps, and my scars are hardly noticeable. Thank you Meetra!
Anyway, this is getting pretty long. Some advice: call in at least a week ahead for an appointment, unless it’s near a holiday like New Years or Valentine’s…then call in at least 2 – 3 weeks ahead. And if you call in and they say they don’t have room, try to tell them an estimate of how long your appointments are, then maybe they can squeeze you in. =)

I have usually been someone who does her own hair, but this time I want some funky hair colors and there was no way I can do that. I am not that good. So I went on Unilocal and the nearest Salon was Le Visage. Made the appointment and that was the best decision I have ever made.
Samera is a hair goddess! She did wonders on my hair and gave me exactly what I wanted.
The atmosphere in the salon is amazing. With the funky décor, to the friendly people, to even Roco the amazing mascot. (he is Samara’s dog) It is just a great feeling when you walk in.
I highly recommend you get your butt in there!

THE ONE STOP FABULOUS SHOP!!!
If you haven’t been to Le Visage then you are seriously missing out. Words can not describe how great Samera is at doing hair. From the Brazilian blow out, cuts and colors she truly works magic. She recently put extensions in my hair and I LOVE THEM!!! Everyone is constantly complementing me on my hair and it’s all due to Samera… I will NEVER LET ANYONE BUT SAMERA EVER TOUCH MY HAIR AGAIN!!!
If you need a spray tan, facial, waxing, body wrap… Meetra is definitely the one. My skin has improved so much under Meetra’s care. She truly understands the individual needs of each person’s skin.
I live is San Bruno and the ONLY salon that I will ever go to is Le Visage. If you’re thinking about it… just do it… trust me you won’t regret it!

This review is only for Meetra, and her waxing services.
I’ve gotten waxed at many, many places over the years. Besides the place I used to go to in Barcelona, Le Visage is the only place I trust for an amazing, quick Brazilian. At a reasonable price! I used to go to Fusion 3 in Pleasanton but they’ve recently started charging $ 80 which is outrageous. And they’re not as good as Meetra.
Meetra is incredibly professional, and does her job DAMN well. She’s quick, which is key for a good Brazilian. It’s as painless of a Brazilian as you’ll ever get, I promise. Not to say that it doesn’t hurt, because it does. Especially because she’s thorough, which means that she will have you in all sorts of positions to get every little area. But every time I walk out of there I feel awesome about the job done.
If you’re in the Fremont area and need a wax, come here!

SAMERA IS A HAIR GODDESS
I found Le Visage 2 years ago with the help of Unilocal.It was between them and another salon (who shall remain nameless). I decided to visit the salon before I commit, walked in the shop and was greeted by «Reg, what the f*ck are you doing here?!?» Lo and behold, Le Visage is operated by my friend Samera.
Now and I it’s gonna come off that I’m writing a biased review. You can think what you want, but I know an honest stylist when I see one. I came with really long black hair, and she asked «what are you really doing with this look?» She gave me suggestions for cut and color, and explained why it flattered my face and coloring.
It also should be noted that she does not push the products that are displayed in her salon. Although I must say, I am a slave to the Moroccan Oil line.
Le Visage is comparable to all the salons I used to go to in SF. Its does not put a huge dent in my wallet, and very low key.

Disclaimer: This review is solely on hair styling and nothing else, because I have not yet tried their other services.
Sumera is a great stylist. Not only does she know what she’s doing, she’s passionate about it. I trust her because we have similar hair texture (wavy/​loose curls). She’s attentive, has always done exactly what I ask for. I also like the fact that she doesn’t push sales on their product inventory. That’s probably because she doesn’t need to. The product lines they carry pretty much speak for themselves.
The two lines I know they carry are Morrocan Oil and Phyto. I bought the Moroccan Oil (before it got popular and had shampoos, conditioners, styling creams, etc), and Phyto shampoo for curly hair. Both are really great products. I would purchase again from Sumera just to support Le Visage.

I came here a few months back to get a haircut, all over hair color, and eyebrow waxing. The eyebrow wax was good and the Metra was very nice. The 1 star is for the hair cut/​style experience only, since it was the only reason I came here in the first place.
Samera cut my hair. I asked for a classic bob but I got a layered haircut. Ok, not a big deal IF it comes out nice. For the price i paid I expected a good haircut even if it wasn’t what I asked for. I got uneven layers. I mean the top layers of the hair in some areas were longer than the whole hair cut. I trimmed them up myself but I shouldn’t HAVE to do that after paying almost $ 200 (that is for everything, including tip).
The all over hair color was a warm brown — my intent was to cover up the out grown highlights but my color didn’t do that as it washed out the following week –and I did NOT wash my hair for a few days after getting the hair colored as recommended.
Samera talks a good game — but didn’t come through. Metra really does do a good job on the eyebrows!

For those of you that don’t want to read the whole story, the short of it is this:
–I get my hair cuts here, and so does my mom and sister.
–I get my brows done here, and so does my brother. I can’t speak of the «lady waxing» but know quite a few friends and family that do all the time.
–Tempted to try the BodyWraps. My mom and sister swear it’s done wonders for them, so that will be my next endeavor.
–The genuine feel of the location is awesome. It feels like a family type business that cares about their customers, and not some profit hungry corporation that I’ve seen sprouting up over the air-​waves.
With a little more detail:
Over the past few years, I’ve been getting my hair cut at various places in the city (Vesuvio-​no longer) and along the peninsula (American Male Salon), but finding a place where they can do good razor cuts with a stylist that stays at a location for more than a few months has been impossible to find, until NOW!!!
I’ve been a steady customer at Le Visage Salon now for well over a year because the people there are super cool and the gal (Somera — sp?) that does my hair, knows HOW to do it right! I’ve only had a ‘bad’ cut there once, and it was MY FAULT for insisting on an old school clipper cut that I use to get back in the day. She told me she NEVER does clipper cuts, and only does razor cuts, but obliged since I wanted it. She actually did a great job with the cut, but it grew out like shit, JUST LIKE SHE SAID IT WOULD. I have never doubted her since and she now has free reign on my hair cut and style.
And, since she’s been there for well over a year that I’ve been going there, I’m happy that I can depend on her to be there for many more.
After getting my cuts there, I also started getting my brows done too by another gal, Mitra — sp?. I was always weary of doing that type of ‘man-​scaping’ cause I really didn’t see the need. Well, I again was proven wrong cause it DOES make a difference fellas! She now has full authority to shape and sculpt my brows as she sees fit. It’s an art form to her. It also helps that she makes it painless too. Her conversations are always pleasant, it’s an extremely nice, relaxing atmosphere, and she applies appropriate pressure to the brows after the wax is removed and some other ‘ointment’ that’s applied when she’s done to keep the redness down. Could be cold water for all I know, I just know that it’s cool and feels good.
The final kicker is that the place looks and feels like a cool place to be. From the décor to the floors, and the peeps and the beats, its a very well ran business.
All in all, I highly recommend this place for everything they offer. It’s tough to find good customer service, good quality, and CONSISTENCY with any business these days. Big thumbs up, keep up the great work.

Brazilian Wax is painful.
However, at least I didn’t tear up nor yell in pain. That must mean something. The girl who did mine was so nice and talked to me about random things. She’s like a girlfriend type of girl, so it was cool. My appointment was at 11AM, but the lady was late, so I had to wait a few minutes.
The whole thing took like 15 minutes top and it was super thorough. It cost 55 dollars. I forgot to tip (I FEEL SO BAD), but I’ll definitely come back here in four weeks and double her tip! PROMISE!
but seriously, recommended!
