Stephanie Cardenas at Salon Republic

Love Stephanie! She is great with reds! She listens to what you want and gives you beautiful color.

Best haircut I’ve ever gotten. Seriously, Stephanie is a genius. I’ve been going to her for almost three years now; this gal knows how to handle hair! She made the transition from very long to very short hair quite easy for me with a killer cut. She is also super friendly and makes an effort to really connect and make sure she knows exactly what you want. Yay for a hairstylist who listens! I’d recommend her any day!

Stephanie is simply the best! She’s been doing my hair for years and just did my hair and makeup for my wedding which I was BEYOND happy with, I felt amazing and beautiful and confident and stunning all thanks to Stephanie! She’s patient, easy-​going and always consistent with my haircuts, and she takes great care of her clients. Above all, she’s an awesome, friendly, positive, lovely young woman — I always look forward to seeing Stephanie!!!

I’ve been going to Stephanie for haircuts for a few years and have been consistently happy and well taken care of. She’s so low key, friendly and attentive. Really listens to what I’m going for and thinks about the long run, and what I’m prepared or not prepared to do in terms of upkeep.
Highly recommend!

Stephanie has been my hairstylist for 3 years. Immediately after my first appointment I knew that I didn’t want anyone else cutting my hair ever again. Stephanie actually listened to my one and only concern when getting a haircut. Once she understands what I want, she somehow manages to interpret that into something better than I ever could have imagined. I get compliments on my hair wherever I go.

I was referred to Stephanie by someone I trust. I needed a total makeover and I went from long, brown hair (about down to mid-​back) to short, pixie blonde. It looks amazing and I LOVE it. I would highly recommend her to ANYONE. I have gotten so many compliments that its made me feel like a new person! She took her time and talked me through what she was doing every step of the way. I wish she was closer to me — I would go ALL the time.

Stephanie has been cutting my hair since December 2013. I switched from my local barber shop because I wanted something a little more modern and had never had a truly professional salon style haircut. Not only am I glad I switched, but I got super lucky with Stephanie. She is courteous, professional, and creative. Her new space at Salon Republic is in a fantastic location (plus parking validation up to 90 minutes, yes!), and I appreciate the quieter, more intimate feel of her salon suite. It’s a bit of a trek getting there from my place in the South Bay, but Stephanie’s work is worth every mile traveled and every dollar spent. Best men’s haircut I’ve ever had.

Stephanie has been doing my hair for about 5 years now. I went to another salon one time I couldn’t come in to see her and I regret it so much, I refuse to have anyone else do my hair since that bad experience. This girl has magic hands and definitely knows what she is doing.
She is very knowledgeable in what is in and what is not, in hair trends. I mean, c’mon the girl has done Fashion Week and other red carpet events. She is no rookie, that’s for sure!
Stephanie will suggest styles based on your taste and hair condition. You can be guaranteed that you will be walking out with gorgeous locks whether your hair is long, you’re chopping it all off or you’re doing a new color or getting a color correction from a wack job you got from that other place, you knew you shouldn’t have gone into, but ya did. Heck, bring your guy in too! She makes men look like models, she is that talented.
You will be asked who did your hair after she’s done with you.
She is hair’s best friend.
