G Lynette Sargentini

Lynette was great! Very friendly and professional. My devacut looks fantastic! She gave me exactly what I wanted. I’m so glad I found someone who does devacurl cuts in the Bay Area since moving to California from Texas. Just a tip, she’s check or cash only so come prepared.

I started going to Lynette last year. If you’ve got curly or textured hair, she’s your gal. Super pleasant, collaborative and gives an awesome cut. She dry cuts (best for curly hair) and really listens to what you want.

Lynette could not be more awesome! As a wavy-​curly haired girl who has struggled with confidence because of her hair throughout the years, Lynette was exactly what I needed. Previous hair stylists always treat my hair like straight hair, cutting it wet, styling it the wrong way, and blow drying it into a frizzy mess. Not Lynette!
My appointment was at 9:45 AM on Saturday for a cut and dye job. Lynette was friendly and down-​to-​Earth, and I immediately liked her. I told her my desired cut and color, showed her pictures, and explained to her the way my hair behaves. She knew exactly what I was talking about, I could tell she is an expert with curly hair.
She cut my hair dry (which is how you’re supposed to cut curly hair), then dyed it. She did an ombré, which looked awesome and was exactly what I asked for. She used DevaCurl products on my hair and made sure not to use anything that I was allergic to on me (I have millions of allergies haha).
I am so happy with my haircut! I love it, I feel so confidence, and my curls look awesome. On top of that, the price was really good and we had excellent conversation for the duration of the process (~3 hours).
If you’re looking for someone to cut your hair, (especially curly hair), no matter the texture, go to Lynette, you will be as happy as I am. I’ll be returning as soon as I need another cut! :)

This was my first time with Lynette, and first time getting a deva cut, and I’m really happy with the results. I’m Indian with very curly hair (2C curl for those obsessive about knowing your curl type like me), and I wanted to cut a good 7 inches off of it to have shoulder length hair.
Lynette is very careful and attentive about what you want. When she was done, she’d have me look at the cut from all angles and asked if I wanted anything changed. She’d make all those changes accordingly. Good cut, good service, and very reasonably priced. I would visit Lynette again.

Lynette just understands how to beautifully color my curly hair. I’m always more than satisfied with the product!

Amazing curly hair cut for my daughter, then I sent my friend, who also raved about her curly haircut. She’s straightforward, was great at listening and understanding the details of what my daughter and friend wanted for their haircuts, and gave them exactly the style they wanted! She has reasonable rates, which I hope she keeps despite the rave Unilocal reviews!

Dude, I’ve been going to Lynette for like, years. 2006ish I found Teresa Callen, and didn’t have the most ideal experience, but I went back out of necessity. Eventually Teresa took on Lynette, who eventually began managing her own clients, and I switched and was way happier after that. I think I started with her in like 2008ish maybe? So 4 going on 5 years now?
Lynette is practical, straightforward, kind, sweet, and down to earth. Easy to talk to, get along with, work on solutions for your hair together with, and no-​drama. Her price point is reasonable, she can cut curly hair dry, she’s a reliable colorist, and she’s gentle with your head.
I was actually never quite thrilled with the actual cuts/​styles with Teresa/​Lynette in the beginning, but they’ve been getting better. At the start I pretty much always felt like I had an 80’s frizz-​out cut. That’s back in style now, but definitely not a look I’m deliberately going for.
So over time as I worked with Lynette I began to trust her, and my last couple of cuts with her have been great. I have had some random issues that happen, like a bit of hair out of place that needs to get snipped at later, and of course with curly hair it can be tricky because you can’t pull the curls out too long since that is not what they will naturally look like when the client goes home and does their normal wash/​style/​air or blow dry (with diffuser) routine. So sometimes the cuts can be shorter than they should be and once I get home I’m a little frustrated, so we’re always learning a little more each cut and adjust to compensate.
Coloring is also not like wild edgy fashion coloring, but Lynette is reliable, organized, and professional with how she colors. She uses the healthiest stuff she can to limit killing my hair, so we almost never lift with peroxide unless we absolutely have to, and we usually do semi-​permanent color. Sometimes I do have to come back to correct a color issue but it’s usually pretty minor; plus I know I have really ethnic curly hair that eats up product, and with curls it’s hard to get the dimensions you want so there’s a bit of trial and error.
The cool thing is that Lynette adapts well, works with you, is always willing to correct something and offers great customer service, which is why I keep coming back.
I go to her like 3 – 4 times a year for a color, and 50% of the time I include the cut to clean my head up /​take off those sad dead ends.
For super ethnic curly hair girls — a reliable, great person to work with!
Note: Ok, so if you follow my reviews you’ll know I never give 5’s unless my mind is utterly blown which is like .0001% of the time. But when I give a 4 star it means the experience was great and I recommend it, and I’ll go back.

To start, I have crazy, thick, tight curly hair and decided to get the Brazilian blowout treatment, to relax the curls and ease management (bad idea).
Unfortunately, this treatment changed my hair drastically (basically went from super curly to really straight). I had more trouble managing my ‘new’ hair do after the treatment. It even caused damage and breakage (yes, blotches of hair falling out).
I freaked out and began a mission to find a stylist who could not only help restore my curls but also someone who knew more about curly hair (ahem – has curly hair!). I searched and searched, even had a few trials — with one, I noticed my layers were lopsided after a trim (oh man). I kept on… and then came up Unilocal for Lynette, so I set up an appointment and after my first visit, I was sold!
It’s been a year since I’ve been going to Lynette and my curls have never been better/​healthier! What I really like about Lynette that she takes the time to listen, is open to working with you on your requests and that she doesn’t push products on you. One thing that stood out to me was that a majority of her clientele have curly, so you know she’s good for it!
If you have really curly hair (if it helps, Polynesian hair to be exact), I recommend Lynette! She is your go to gal!

Lynette has been cutting and coloring my hair for three years now. My friends have told me my hair has never looked better. She truly listens to what you want and delivers. She suggests products and teaches me how to style my hair but never pushes anything on me. All this and she is very affordable! I’ve recommended her to several people… all of whom have been very happy with her work. After getting a dry haircut, I can’t make sense of cutting curls wet.

Lynette is great. I came in for a long-​overdue dye back to my original color, and it looks great. She worked with a sort of finesse and is very friendly. She was also very attentive when I wanted to book an appointment – she emailed me whenever she had cancellations and asked if I wanted to fill the spot. Will be going back when I decide to change my hair color again! Totally trust her with color.

I’ve now gone to Lynette a few times now and plan on returning many more. She is great with curly hair, my first curly hair specialist. She takes the time to do a thorough job and I never feel rushed. My hair always feels great when I leave and she has given me great tips.
I would recommend her to any curly girl without hesitation. Using the online appointment is easy. But as someone mentioned cash or checks, no cards. Prices are reasonable for the area.

I’ve been going to Lynette for a while and she’s excellent. She specializes in curly/​wavy/​frizzy hair. She always does a great job getting my wild mane of hair to do what it’s supposed to do:
* Look good
* Frame my face In a way that complements me
And she’s very nice.
I only wish I could duplicate the styling she does with my hair. So far, not so much. *sigh*
I usually contact her by email to get an appointment. There is 2 hour free parking in a lot near the salon. She accepts cash or a check.

Lynette Corriea has cut my hair twice; both cuts were great. Her rates are SUPER reasonable (I think Teresa is more pricey), and I was able to make an evening appointment over email, which is very convenient. The first cut was just a nice general re-​shaping for my long hair. The second time, I wanted to chop it short, and she did a great job!
Also, they sell great DevaCurl products. Also, note, BRING CASH OR CHECK, they do not take credit card. The first time, Lynette was super cool, and said to just mail her a check.

This review is for Lynette Correia. She exceeded my expectations and I am THRILLED with the results.
I’m a stay-​at-​home Mom who puts my curly hair into a bun every day… I felt like I was losing my sense of style and getting lazy, so I looked into a curl specialist to get a good cut. Lynette knew exactly what she was doing, met my needs and even taught me how to style my hair. I was able to recreate her look on my hair this morning in about 5 minutes — which is all I have to get ready since I have an 18 month old son. I was able to wear my hair down, which I NEVER do because I don’t like it in my face. She also taught me how to pin it back while it’s wet so that curls will dry away from my face.
I will definitely go and see her again. If you have curly hair, don’t hesitate to call her. You can make an appointment online and she works in the evenings. I can’t say enough about her.

I have been at war with my curly, frizzy hair for the last 10 years but have been afraid to have a stylist do anything to it but trim an inch of the bottom.
After reading all the great reviews about Image Arts Salon on Unilocal,I decided to take the BIG PLUNGE!
I had an appointment with Lynette today and we had an indepth consultation about what I was currently doing with my hair and what some of the issues were. My hair was just not as curly as it used to be and I was having a hard time maintaining the curl that I had. I used to dread washing my hair and having to beat it in to shape for an hour afterward.
Lynette carefully listened to all my concerns and then we came up with a game plan for my hair. I have long hair and I wanted to preserve the length. As Lynette carefully evaluated and cut each curl, I began to relax about the whole process. I was surprised to see there was very little hair on the cutting room floor!
I am soooo happy with my haircut and best of all, it takes me only 15 minutes vs an hour with a fabulous result. I got my curls back!

Finally a place where my curly hair feels LOVED! I was very apprehensive about trimming since I love my long curly hair and wanted to make sure my stylist listened to what I wanted. Lynette did a great job and honored a coupon I had – I even felt bad paying the coupon rate because I loved the deva cut, but I had to since I am a recent law school grad on a very tight budget! That’s a whole other story! lol… anyways, I loved that I didn’t feel pressured to buy the products because I wouldn’t have been able to afford them, but I will be in the future and since she didn’t try to push them on me. I will seriously consider purchasing in the future. I’ve never left a salon before where the stylist actually styled my curly hair! Look forward to my next cut with Lynette!

Lynette is fantastic. I have wavy, wiry, sometimes-​curly hair that can be a total disaster, and she tamed it with one dry haircut. Color is great, too. ’nuff said.

I went today for my appointment. Lynette is professional and very friendly. She cut my hair AND performed a color service, even though I didn’t have a color scheduled but desperately needed it. I will definitely be going back. Also, their salon is cute and cozy. I like the private room the stylists work out of – better than being on display somewhere. And they have a nice compliment of products.

Lynette Corriea did a really great job with my half wavy/​half curly hair. See my hair is nearly straight down to my ears and then its curly the rest of the way down. Lynette fixed this. I really don’t know how, but I’m eternally grateful. Finally the top part of my hair doesn’t look like its an entirely different style from the bottom of my hair. It’s all cohesive now, which is really a miracle, considering what she was working with!
I am trying to grow my hair out longer, so I was very nervous about getting it cut in the first place, but Lynette is a great listener. We spent a lot of time on the consultation, and she repeated back to me everything I said, so I could tell that she was really listening. I didn’t feel rushed at all through the consultation and that was very important/​reassuring to me. Not only that, the results confirm that she listened. I told her I still wanted to be able to put it back in a ponytail, and tuck it behind my ears, both of which I still can (yay), I told her I didn’t want it to look so 80’s and it doesn’t anymore (double yay) and I told her I wanted to preserve as much length as possible. She said she would only trim and she actually held to it – my hair actually even looks a little bit longer now because of the way its styled AND its not in my face – again miraculous. (triple yay).
I’m thoroughly satisfied and will definitely be back. She is great and easy to talk to. OMG and her washes are heaven. She does this scalp massage that feels *fantastic*.

I have been coming to Theresa for years. She is the first and only person who hasn’t been scared off by my very very thick and curly hair. In fact, she always seems to know just what to do with it. I always feel like a beautiful topiary bush in her chair as she sculpts my dry curls. After leaving her chair, I inevitably get compliments from friends and even strangers. When I married, she helped me with some make up tips too which I really appreciated. As painful as it was, I stopped going for a couple of years because I couldn’t afford her pricing. I was thrilled to see that she hired Lynette and is training her to cut and style curly hair. I booked an appointment as a hair model. Lynette spent about 2 hours with me. Theresa oversaw the cut and I felt confident through the entire process. Lynette has a wonderful way with people; we talked and talked. She did a great job on my hair and since she is training only charged $ 20. She has a bright future ahead of her in curly hair.
