Sunshine’s Beauty Salon

The most painful Brazilian wax of my life! I do not recommend. Go to a place that uses hard wax.

A friend of mine recommended Meseret to me so I could get my hair done for graduation. She was amazing! It was the best press I’ve ever had. She was professional, efficient, friendly, and understood how to style natural hair. I’ve been to many other shops that try to do 3 – 4 heads at a time (so a press could easily take 4 to 5 hours!!), but Meseret was dedicated to only doing my hair and I was out in less than an hour.

Kathy tricked me into paying $ 10 for an acrylic nail take off :(I don’t think she has ever taken off acrylics before, it took 1 hour!

Originally went here on a Groupon and I will definitely be coming back. My rating is on the shellac manicure (which I’ve now had two) and they each lasted me 3 weeks and the experience has been wonderful. They have come great colors too!

I wish I could give negative stars!- We used groupon for 2 shellack manicures.
The lady doing nails asked «Did you pay already?» US: «Yes we have a groupon for both girls»
Nail Lady: «you shouldn’t have got those, don’t use those.» Takes my daughter by the arm and starts to aggressively use nail polish remover. My daughters 13 years old as well as my niece. My daughter tried to talk to the lady and she ignored her. She didn’t do the shellack, she just painted. My daughter asked «I thought I was supposed to get a hand massage with it?» The lady squirts oil on her hand and wipes it once. She refused to do my nieces nails at all. My daughter went home and cried. I can’t believe this one person turned this special occasion into something so disrespectful and horrible. I will NOT EVER go back to this salon. I don’t think it was the owner, just the nail lady. DO NOT BUY GROUPONS FOR THEM THEY WONT HONOR THEM!

I love coming here! She does an amazing job and does wonders to your hair. I’ve been coming here for years and never stopped! Customer service is even better, you feel at home with the best styling your hair!

Meseret is amazing! She is always flexible with scheduling, and shes fast and efficient! Im always out in less than an hour, wheras other places have taken almost 2 hours to achieve the same results. She is super caring and always takes great care of my hair! The only person i go to! 5 stars!

This place was terrible. I went to get my hair japanese hair straightened one month ago. Meseret did take time with my hair (3.5 hrs) and charged a reasonable amount ($ 250). I waited 56 hrs after the straightening was finished before washing or tying my hair (the recommended time is 48 hrs). I took extra care to make sure my hair wasn’t touched. After I washed and dried my hair, the top half of my hair (from the roots to halfway down the back of my head) was straight but the rest of my hair was back to being the way it always was — curly. I went back to meseret the next day and she looked at my hair and said she didn’t know what went wrong. Then she said that since it didn’t work, she would do it again for free, but I had to wait one month because otherwise it would damage my hair too much to do it so close together. My next appointment was supposed be today. I arranged my whole schedule around it and called her 2 hrs in advance to confirm the appointment. When I called she told me that since the stuff is so expensive she changed her mind and is going to charge me half. She didn’t even have the decency to call me and tell me beforehand that she was going to charge me when before she said she wouldn’t. Needless to say I am never going back. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

So I made an appointment to get my hair washed and curled using rollers and the dryer. i arrived at the salon and met Meseret who looked angry at me because I was 30 minutes late and there was no one waiting at the salon given that it was the middle of the week. Also, I had called in advance to say I was going to be late.
What really sparked me off to leave the salon without getting my hair done is that she began to debate with me about what I could or not do with my natural hair! She said that my hair was too natural looking and would not be straight enough even though I told her this is how my hair gets done! She went ahead to say it was IMPOSSIBLE for my hair to be become straightened and her evidence was years of experience. I was not even looking for straight hair!
I was so shocked because this is how my hair has always been done and more importantly, this is how I like to do my hair! READING THe REVIEWS HERE, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THE ONLY THING MESERET DOES WELL IS FLAT IRONING AND SHE WILL TRY AND FORCE THIS ON YOU BECAUSE SHE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ELSE WELL!!!
I am a black woman and I have never been treated this bad and personally attacked about my natural hair in a salon before. While I cannot tell people whether or not to get their hair done by Meseret, I can say that she has NO SENSE of customer service at all!!! DRIVING FROM PALO ALTO TO SANTA CLARA WAS SUCH A WASTE OF TIME!

Meseret did a wonderful job on my hair! It is difficult to find someone who does a decent job African American hair in this area. Her shop is clean, quiet, no drama or loud talking, no excessive wait. She makes you feel like you are the only client. She is very friendly and easy to talk to. My hair was flat ironed and silky when I walked out of her salon, and again I did not have to wait. I was in and out in no time with a nice hair style. Can’t wait to go to her again

I really have never been happier with a hairdresser. meseret works very quickly and she does a good job. It takes her less than an hour to wash and flat iron my hair and it lasts for 3 weeks. After going to meseret my hair definitely is healthier than it’s ever been. I’ve always been scared to put in a weave thinking it would look fake, but a year ago i got my first sew in weave done by meseret and it looks amazing. people ask me if its my real hair all the time and after a year of weaves my hair has grown about 4 inches. best hair salon ever!

I went here for the first time 4 weeks ago and I went today again… she’s literally a miracle worker. She has magical hands. I do not exaggerate.
I am a natural and I usually wear my hair curly. I dyed my hair for the first time over the summer at Madu salon in SF. sooo expensive and they took forever. I need to get my roots re-​done but I also wanted to flat iron it (hadn’t flat ironed it in a year and my friend had done it last year and it took her literally 4 hours to do it). I was going to go to madu but b/​c of scheduling conflicts I decided to give Meseret a chance (i know about 5 of my girlfriends who go to her and swear by her).
I went to Meseret and I could not believe the results and how amazingly quick and efficient she is. I was really blown away. My hair is extremely frizzy and VERY sensitive to humidity. She flat ironed my hair… it lasts me 2 weeks. people thought I had gotten a perm or a brazilian blow-​out. I did not know my hair could do that.
Anyways, she’s amazing. I wish I could take her with me wherever I may end up when I start working (I am a student :)

I should have Unilocaled this place before coming. I only trust my hair with a stylist in SF that I have been a client to ever since I was a young girl. I desperately needed a bang trim, and Meserte seemed capable enough and kind (although the salon reeks!) to handle a SIMPLE TRIM, so when she announced kindly that a bang trim was only $ 5, my friend and I decided it was worth the go. I say I should have read the reviews, because, I quote: «Meserte completely butchered my hair!» THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID! SHE BUTCHERED MY SIDE BANGS. Not only did I tell her what I wanted verbally and visually, but she claimed to have cut off «barely anything» after the initial screw-​up. THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.
DO NOT GO HERE. She said she could «fix them,» and even after I DECLINED because she did such an initially terrible job, SHE BUTCHERED THEM MORE. I ended up trusting a friend’s advice and drove to Salon Blu within 5 minutes after cutting my bang disaster. The hair stylist fixed them best she could there and I will definitely be returning to Salon Blu. I think this place needs to check her certification because, TRUST ME, it is most likely a FAKE!
I will definitely be sharing with my friends how horrible and unprofessional my experience was.

Meserte completely butchered my hair! I sat there for maybe 7 to 10 minutes before her «special talent» went to work. She did not part my hair into sections, she cut the length with one stride and briskly cut layers. There is not one straight cut in my hair… and she cut more into the left side of my hair leaving an uneven balance. Absolutely awful, disrespectful and disappointing. I have no idea how this woman was able to receive a cosmo certificate, but it should definitely be taken away from her. I relied upon the comments from this website, however, not one girl had mentioned anything about a haircut… so at the end of the day, my mistake. You certainly get what you pay for at this salon — $ 20 haircut and a hunt to find someone who can clean up this mess.

Great service at a great price! She knows how to take care of hair. She was recommended to me by a friend. Doesn’t waste time and
Does hair quickly. I’m used to salons that take 2 – 3 hours but not this one. It has never been over crowded the times i’ve been there. I would definitely suggest giving her a try. I love the condition of my hair.

The lady who did my hair was terrific. I got a shampoo, layers and highlights — what would cost me over $ 100+ at another hair salon cost me only $ 65 here, and she did a terrific job. I was a bit wary at first because the place looks like a little isolated, but really this place is a hidden gem!

Meseret did a wonderful job on my daughters hair for her Kindergarten Promotion she looked so beautiful that day. Check out the pics.

Meseret is great! I have African American hair and go there to get it flat ironed and cut. Meseret always leaves it beautiful silky and straight. She usually works on one client at a time, so no sitting under the dryer waiting for someone else and she’s always on time for appointments. I would recommend her to anyone!

Meseret is the best stylist ever! Talk about dedication. She spent four hours, well passed her closing time, on my hair, I Love my Japanese straight perm. I recommend her to every one. She is nice, intelligent and diligent. Believe me, you will not be disappointed. If you need your nails done she will call the nail artist at anytime. They do everything at a reasonable price. Check out my straight perm in my pics.
MY BF gets his hair cut here too. He is really picky. I must have taken him to at least 10 salons before he finally decided to come here. They take their time and do a good job. If you want to support a local independant business stop in and help the economy. :)
