Sunseri Salon

Josephine is amazing she has been doing my hair for 14 years. She does amazing color and highlights. I have crazy natural curly hair and she is the only one that has ever been able to maintain it! I highly recommend you call and make an appointment with her!

Lasandra, is my hair Goddess… She ombré Balyage & layer cut my hair. I’m a repeat client that is always in love love love with my hair every time, she is sweet & easy to talk to … I look forward to seeing her & getting my hair done. She uses the best product on my hair including Olaplex to help restore my hair and prevent damage when going lighter. I have very resistant Asian mix hair, but she has worked her magic on my hair & proved she could get my hair perfect with a Balyage Ombré look ! I first found her on IG /​hairbylasandra when I was searching for a hairstylist in Sanjose a year ago, then I texted her to make an appt, she responded quickly and was able to get me in within a few weeks ! Now I just pre-​book all my appts, I hope she never moves I would be heart broken … If I could give her more stars I would, luv this girl !!!

I found myself at Sunseri Salon after I had met Josephine through a mutual friend. She has spectacular platinum blonde hair and I had instantly adored her after meeting her at the bar. She had mentioned that she did hair so I took her number down for future reference. I was between stylists at the time because my current one had decided to leave her salon and go back to beauty school to advance her skills. I had been keeping my hair low maintenance and desperately needed a new stylist.
Two months after I met her, I texted her and made an appointment for a color consult. She scheduled me for her next available, which happened to be 2 weeks out. (I was soon to find out that this girl was always booked way in advance, plus we were approaching the holiday season).
The salon is located across the street from Valley Fair and I found it quite easily. They have their own parking lot, which was fantastic because I was used to looking for street parking or wherever else I could find a spot in downtown Willow Glen where both my two last stylists had been located.
Josephine is THE BEST. Why is she the best, you may ask. First of all, I am so picky about my hair. Like super anal-​retentive picky. If I don’t like the smallest thing, I hate it all and will cry for weeks. She gave me a color consult and schooled me left and right about what was up with my color and why what I had been doing wasn’t ideal for my hair, etc. She touched up my roots to perfectly match my hair, astonishing I know, and my color came out perfectly. She also cut my hair in a way where I actually didn’t hate it. ***Side note, I cannot cut my hair ever without always hating it at first and then adjusting to liking it later. By this I mean, she cut off all my dead ends, and gave me perfect long layers (I can’t stand short, choppy, hacked layers on my hair). She kept my length, but completely freshened it up. I was in love.
When you meet someone who is highly skilled in their trade, it shows. This girl knows exactly what she is doing!!! She gives your hair a quick but observant overlook, and you can just see her brain rapidly processing and analyzing your hair. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve been doing hair for 17+ years! Her hands fly so fast when cutting your hair off, one might almost wonder how could she possibly see what was going on. I certainly couldn’t. All I know is, when she showed me my hair in the mirror, I was just aghast. I had spent my entire life having my hair cut by mediocre stylists, never knowing what it felt like to be under the care of a master stylist. If there is anything I have the highest of respect for, it is the experts of the world, people who are so gifted in their trade (my plastic surgeon is a prime example of this).
After this first appointment with Jo, I knew I had finally found The One. No matter it had taken me 34 years to find, but now that I have, I will never leave her! (This I do solemnly swear).
Fast forward a couple more appointments… I wanted a NEW me, for the New Year and that meant a drastic change to my hair. I had been working so hard to lose a bunch of weight and I wanted to commence that with changing up my hair. Oh to be platinum blonde again… *sad face. I went to go see Jo to discuss and formulate a plan of action to drastically lighten my hair by summer. She told me it could be done, but I would have to be patient (patience is so not my virtue) and we would have to take baby steps. I told her I trusted her, because I do actually trust her, shocker I know, and I would be patient. She chose to do a balayage versus what most stylists have done to me previously, which is cover my crown with tons of highlights. Right off the bat, I knew it would be different this time around. It was such an exhilarating feeling. My first session resulted in better-​than-​expected coloring. We were both quite pleased with the results. She also chopped off a bunch of hair, meanwhile leaving it looking better than before. Skills, I’m tellin ya.
I cannot wait to see what my future sessions will be like! Every time I leave my appointment, I am so satisfied. One final note, her prices are extremely reasonable for her level of skill. But I most certainly will not complain about that. Go check her out yourself… You will not regret it!
Thanks Jo, you’re the best!

When I first moved to the area I found the salon and most importantly Josephine on Unilocal and I have been coming ever since! Josephine is an amazing hair stylist, I always leave with exactly what I came in for!

~reposting my review that I left on her Unilocal page «hair by lasandra”~
Sandra turned my brassy, uneven disaster into my hair goals. I came in with a super brassy, orange-​y, damaged mess courtesy of a very expensive mistake of another hair salon. I told her that I wanted a titanium grey, and she was very accommodating of that, but said that it might not be possible in one session. In the end, I walked out with silky, smooth granny hair! It came out within a week and a half, but the end result was a nice ashy blonde balayage.
She is so nice and genuine to talk to. You can also text her and send her a picture of your hair and she will tell you the price which is super convenient.
She also sent me home with a huge bottle of purple shampoo complimentary.

LaSandra is a miracle worker. Every single time I’ve gotten my hair done, I’ve walked away jumping up and down because I’m so excited and in love with my hair. Her balayage is on point and this last time she chopped my hair into the most beautiful long Bob. I was so scared about cutting my hair short. LaSandra listened to all my concerns and graciously looked at all my photos as I explained what I liked and disliked about each photo. She encouraged me to go for the long Bob and I can’t thank her enough for doing so. I’ve never been happier with a hair cut. Also, this salon is very professional. I love the environment and how positive the stylists are with one another. Other stylists complimented her work. I’ll never go anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and schedule with LaSandra.

A few weeks ago, I tried to DIY my hair blue, but it turned into a hideous green color. In my attempt to bleach it off, it came out to be an even worse pale green color, it was horrible. It was getting really close to Thanksgiving and I was so embarrassed of how my family was going to react to my hair. I knew I needed help, so I found this salon and booked an appointment with Lindsay. SHE IS AMAZING. She was really sweet and inviting when I arrived, so I instantly felt comfortable. She was able to strip out all the green in my hair and gave me an amazing ombré. Throughout the whole process she would keep me updated with what she was doing. She was very patient and took her time when she worked with my hair. My hair was unrecognizable when she was done, no one could tell it used to be in such a terrible state! I loved how my hair turned out and my family loved it as well. THANK YOU LINDSAY!

I made an appointment with Sunseri Salon after a bit of a flop with another salon who shall not be named – they were so kind and welcoming, but the most important thing (the dye job!) came out blah for a hefty price of ~$ 280 for what was essentially chunky orange-​yellow highlights and ~$ 75 for a chin-​length bang trim. What I was going in for was a gray ombré balayage with piece-​y face-​framing and side-​swept eyebrow-​height bangs… not that what I got was terrible, but it was not what I wanted at all. I was partly to blame – I can’t help but answer «yes» to every leading question. «So you want balayage?» «…Yup!» «Doesn’t your haircut look great? Isn’t this color so pretty?» Aghh…
So when I went into Sunseri, I was determined not to fall into the same trap. I brought in photos and explained what I wanted as forcefully as I could. Lindsay was great – before we moved forward, we discussed what I wanted, and she made sure I understood the cost, damage, multiple trips, and just general work involved to get what I wanted. This was different from the other place where the cost was a nice big surprise at the end, and I had to pull answers out of them about what I should change for my hair care (sulfate-​free shampoo, silver shampoo, etc.). In this case, an arguably much more work and material-​intensive part 1 ombré balayage (for a girl with long, dark hair) and cut was $ 235…rather than $ 355 for chunky highlights and a trim.
Then, when we got started, I asked questions to try to understand what was happening to my hair and Lindsay patiently explained. I learned about what was going to happen in part 2 as well, and just general hair-​dying questions and technical information. And, having known my weakness to leading questions, she made sure to ask me what I wanted and gave me options that I didn’t know I had.
When all was said and done, Lindsay had blended my chunky highlights into a pretty ashy brown ombré that I would have to live with for the next 4 weeks to allow my hair to heal – not that this was a bad thing, because even with just part 1 it looks great!
Bottom-line…just come here. Lindsay listens to you, is professional and considerate, and the price is pretty darn good (at least based off what I’ve experienced elsewhere…).

Oh my god I will not go to another stylist ever again. Lindsay is amazing! I came in looking like a wreck and left with gorgeous purple ombré because of her. She was super easy to talk to and really sweet. I was comfortable the second I sat down in the chair. I came in knowing I wanted purple ombré but had no idea what top color I wanted or what would look good. She knew right away what would fit with the purple and still look good on me. I also love that she took her time with me and I never felt rushed. It was about a 4 – 5 hour process and it was suppose to be two sessions but she got it all done in one and now I have my dream hair for my concert this weekend! Plus my hair isn’t dead like the last time I did an unnatural color like this. She really took care of me and my hair. :)

If I can I would give them zero stars why because I booked my appointment with lasandra and she took me I had blonde highlights and went for a change to red hair my hair was all faded looked pink the first day everyone who saw it was saying it was ugly paid $ 150 for my hair just for color really that’s the most expensive I’ve ever paid ,
I text her like 3day told her and she told me to wait a couple weeks I didn’t want to it was nasty looking so she said ok go ahead and Come but I had to pay $ 40 I believe for retouch when verly 3 days had passed really my hair was a mess and still want me to charge me for something that looked ugly wow anyways I don’t recommend this place $ 150 for color to much.

I made an appointment with Lindsay to get ombré and balayage highlights done. It turned out amazing! She took before and after pics for me. I didn’t realize how gross my hair looked beforehand. I love my hair now! Thanks Lindsay!

Dear Friends and Family,
I know many of you thought that I was crazy for 1) bleaching my entire head blond, 2) setting a hair appointment at a place I had never visited, and 3) giving the stylist the power to do whatever she pleased. Let me tell you that there was method to my madness…
I was able to give the artist a blank canvas, giving her more time to tend to color placement. There was no need to rush through multiple bleaching sessions and my hair did not need to endure any unnecessary heat. (Plus, I always hated sitting in a salon too long.)
With the time almost cut in half, I walked out extremely happy… drove home and couldn’t stop smiling neither. Believe it or not, besides looking healthier, my hair even feels it, as well.
So, I must apologize in advance for any body odor you may experience when being around me. Miss Lindsay did such an awesome job on my hair — the best way to maintain it sadly, would be to ban showers from my life.

I absolutely love coming here!!!
LaSandra has been doing my hair for just a few months now and I have been nothing but overjoyed and utterly satisfied with her work. I made my appointment with her through text (which I recommend doing because she gets booked to a month out, I think!) Before my first session with her, I had never dyed my hair before. I knew her speciality was ombres/​balayages, but I decided to go big or go home and asked her to split my hair down the middle and dye my left side black (my hair is naturally black but with brown tones in the sunlight), and dye my right side gray. It might have helped a lot that I haven’t dyed my hair before, but LaSandra was able to get my hair to gray on the first session! She even gave me purple shampoo recommendations and offered me a bottle of it to take home to upkeep my color.
Not to mention her lovable and extremely friendly personality. She is so easy to talk to and down to earth and will be real with you! It makes such a difference when someone is talented and also humble and genuine.
The third time I went in (the second time I had a touch up for my roots) I decided to cut my hair to my shoulders. It was down to the small of my back before and I felt I needed change, so LaSandra chopped it off to the perfect length on the first try and cleaned it up afterwards. I wanted a blunt cut and she gave me exactly what I wanted, as always!
The overall vibe of this salon is perfect. The entire staff is friendly and polite, they don’t play music too loud, the place is always tidy, and they offered chairs for a couple of my friends to sit down in as I was getting my hair done which they didn’t have to do, but they did! I live in the East Bay and the one hour drive out to this specific salon to have LaSandra work her magic on my hair is so worth it. I am so fortunate to have found Sunseri Hair Salon and LaSandra herself! Very highly recommend!

Lindsey Dreyer is the best!!! Always giving me the best color for me! This is my third time coming to her and I couldn’t be any more happy with the results every time! We do a little ombré and a little blending. I have extremely curly hair and she is able to cut it for when I wear it natural and it falling light and not heavy. If you want the hair color that is in and trending go to this girl!!!

The most horrible customer service.
They don’t even look at you when you try to schedule an appointment. Makes you feel very uncomfortable.

This review is for LaSandra! Thank you for being so accommodating to my last minute time change and being very understanding about it. I’ve been wanting balayage ombré for a while now and I know I wanted to get it done in California during my spring break. LaSandra was one of the few stylist that had availability and was easy to reach. She is very responsive via text and booked me right away. She is also very open about prices and tells you upfront how much your session will cost depending on length and thickness of your hair as well as how many sessions it will take to achieve the results you want. I went in with virgin long medium thick hair and it only took one session to get the hair I wanted.
The entire session from bleaching with olaplex and coloring, shampoo, conditioning, and blow out and styling took 2.5 hours and I loved that the whole time she was just chatting with me. Sandra is very easy to talk to and she’s also very funny. You can tell she’s super determined to do a good job and she loves learning new techniques. It makes her just as happy as you when there are good results. I showed her some pictures of the color I wanted as well as how I wanted my bangs, she was able to get the look just by looking at the pictures once. She also gives good head massages when washing hair =) My balayage was a little more blonde than I had anticipated but I liked it and it was something completely different than what my hair had ever been so it was a good change. I love that it’s so multidimensional. It looks different depending on how you style it (straight vs curly) and depending on the lighting. It could look brown or blonde depending on the lighting and it also looks completely different under the sun as well. I am going to enjoy experimenting with my hair style to show case the different tones of colors in my hair. Overall this was a very comfortable, quick, and satisfying experience and I would definitely recommend LaSandra to my friends who want balayage ombré. Now I am ready for the spring =)

It took awhile for me to find a professional hair stylist. I’m so glad that I met Gail who is very professional and she listens from what I need and wants to my hair. Ive been getting my haircut from her eversince i met her at Bellarmine. Gail is very easy to converse with. I’ve known her for 3 years now and when she moved to a different location, I still kept her.
It is not easy to find someone who can see my hair thinning problems. I’ve been having thin hair for past years now. With Gail, she would work it out to make sure it will show that I have full hair. She always made it possible and I get lots of compliments from my family, friends and to my colleagues and clients. I thank her for her honest opinion and professional demeanor to make her clients like myself leave the salon happy and satisfied.
If I can give her ten stars, I would. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants and needs great quality hair cut plus she’s very nice, you will like her. (^_​^)!
Ask for Gail and give her a call 720−315−1794.

Oh man. LaSandra is THE crème de la crème when it comes to balayage ombré highlights! I have been wanting them for some time and I was really impressed by the photos I saw on Unilocal so I decided to give her a try. I have very dark brown (practically black) hair and I was impressed with how un-​brassy, blended and natural looking she made highlights on Asian and dark hair. Most people can’t or won’t try to lift (lighten) very dark hair because they don’t want to damage it by bleaching the sh*t out of it or end up making it look brassy.
Well let me tell you. LaSandra has made my hair look absolutely gorg! She managed to give be beautiful light ashy highlights and I seriously don’t notice any damage. I’ve had bleached blonde hair and all manner of highlights over the years and my hair has never come out this beautiful with no discernible damage. Whatever lightening products she uses are very very good. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
Aside from my ombré highlights, LaSandra is a really cool chick! I enjoyed my time at the salon and she is very sweet and funny. Something really great — she included a cut in my highlighting fee.
See the pictures for yourself. She does absolutely beautiful work. What you see is what you get!

Lasandra lasandra lasandra. I don’t know how many time to say this but PLEASE if you have any hairstyling needs please go to her!!! I’ve never been so happy. This is the most Ive ever splurged for my hair and it was worth every dollar. She is so so nice and spends so much time on your hair, making sure it looks good. She is such a sweetheart and follow her on Instagram if you want to see more of her amazing work! Hairbylasandra

Got a balayage touch up and Sandra did an amazing job! I came in with a brassy and uneven ombré from a previous stylist, but Sandra worked her magic and transformed my hair into an ashy and well-​blended balayage. My hair now looks awesome and I couldn’t be happier! Also, as a note, she is super friendly and totally works with you to get the right color and style.
Overall, 5 stars for the work, customer service and reasonable prices!
