Suede Studio

This place is super professional and the staff is very friendly. The salon itself is very decorative and modern looking, I enjoy the atmosphere a lot. Getting the Keratin treatment done today and I already notice a difference in my hair. This place is definitely worth checking out! Cherie is my stylist and she is amazing, love that she is so welcoming and went above my expectations.:)

I bought the Groupon to do the keratin straightening. I was having an awful day that day and the stylists were very kind and helpful. The reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the Pravana keratin has an awful smell to it after you wash it… which lingers for approximately a month. So the people were great, price is right, smell is horrendous.

Bought a Groupon for a microdermabraion with Maggie. Besides the gritty crap left all around my face, the extra $ 50 dollars I spent, the 25 minutes I spent in the room, NOT feeling refreshed or having that SPA FEELING, I did have amazing results. My face looked cleaner and my sun spots had even lighted :) If it wasn’t for David and his personable personality that makes you feel like you’ve known each other before. I wouldn’t have given this place 5 stars, but I love, love, love my new haircut and blowout :) I will be back !!

Excellent service and a great environment. The minute I walk in there they put a cup of coffee and a glass of water in my hand. It’s really something else getting a haircut from someone who is so talented after going to suede I really can’t go anywhere else.

David is the best! He makes me look and feel fabulous every time I come in. The salon is chic and comfortable… everyone is super nice and professional.

It is with high commendation that I write this review. David is a master at what he does! He has a natural skill and ability with hair. I’ve been seeing David for highlight, cut and style for almost a decade. I travel all the way from Oakland to see him. He is well worth the drive!

David is one of the best hair stylist that I have had. My friend introduced me and I have had my hair cut and colored once and just loved the look he gave me. I felt pampered and my concerns about my hair were important to him. Thank you David you have a new long term client.

I’ve been coming Suede Studio for sometime now. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. David is my stylist and he is the best stylist I’ve ever been to. He knows how to work with my hair, he’s very attentive and I always walk away feeling like I’ve been pampered. Also, he always listens to my needs and what I like and don’t like.

I have been going to Suede Salon for years and I am really picky about who touches my hair because I have a lot of hair and it is pretty long too. I have been seeing David only and I love him as a professional and as a person. He does everything exactly the way you ask and he is really attentive to your needs and concerns. I always leave the salon happy with whatever he did. He is also very honest about what he thinks will work well for you and what won’t and he never tries to push you to do something just so he can make you spend more money. He’s got great personality and he will make you laugh your ass off too, which is a bonus since I end up spending a long time getting my hair colored. I highly recommend him.

I have been coming to Suede Salon for almost 2 years. Everyone in the salon is very friendly as soon as you walk in the door. They have the BEST customer service of any salon I have been to. Cherie is a rockstar stylist that will make you feel and look fabulous! David the manager is totally awesome! A great bunch of awesome people who really like what they do and it shows!

Like the other reviewer, I had a groupon for the microdermabrasion. At my appointment time, Maggie came out on her telephone and told me it would be a few minutes. I had scheduled the appointment over my lunch (noon) and had anticipated going back to work. I’m glad I decided not to, because as the previous reviewer said, I also left with gritty crap in my hairline and on my face.
I ended up waiting 20 minutes past my appointment time. She explained she had a banking issue, which I guess I understand. But seriously? She did the computer imaging thing which showed some really good things and then some bad things.
The service was pretty good — she used a lot of pressure, so I got good results. However, her bedside manner is terrible. I understand going over problem areas and giving advice on products or services that can help (the hard sell). But she was just rude. She asked me why I have so many wrinkles on my forehead. Um, because I move my face a lot? I mean, what? lol But yeah, she said she didn’t think my cleanser was working and then when she asked what I used she dismissed me and said, «I’ve never even heard of that!»
She also asked if I had met her previously because I looked familiar. So after thinking about it, I realized that she used to be at the Topoli Salon. She ran off her excellent esthetician and then called everyone to say she was taking on her clients. At which point, after hearing her in action previously (how she spoke with the employees and clients) I decided to never go back.
To top it off, the products she used made me smell like an elderly prostitute.
Boo.

Great service. Beautiful new salon!
David is excellent and I love coming here to be pampered and walk out feeling great!

Nice time. Great hair. Does a fantastic job when it comes to coloring. In general very friendly service that has your intentions in mind. Cool hair stylists that are rad.

UPDATE: 8÷25÷15 After multiple attempts to get my email address removed from their mailing list, I am STILL getting promotional and random emails from Maggie and her new business in Real Estate! I cannot seem to end this nightmare! SO WARNING don’t give the scheduler your email address unless you want to get emails from them on a regular basis even if you only visited once and never go back. I will try and call them and see if I can get removed manually cause using the Unsubscribe and emailing them has not worked and I see its been almost 4 months!
I came here today with a Groupon deal for a microdermabrasion facial. I had not had a facial for 3 – 4 months and was looking forward to it. I had met Maggie and visited the previous location with a Unilocal Event several months prior so I had high hopes. They moved after I bought the Groupon but I was able to find the location easily. They have a bit of a parking issue sometimes when the school next door is letting out, since when I was there several cars were stopped waiting to pick someone up etc and all the parking was full. Im sure I just hit it at the wrong moment but I parked around the corner and was fine. Maggie was a bit busy but very nice. She tells it like it is, which is fine I know my skin is in bad shape with the stress of tax season and not having a monthly facial or even bi-​monthly I wasn’t surprised to hear what she had to say. But thats why I was here. The Groupon stated a «microdermabrasion facial». She mentioned right off the bat that I needed a facial I thought I was getting one?! but she informed me that its just the microdermabrasion, a facial would be an extra $ 50 (discounted price) I remember when I had bought the Groupons (I bought 3) that each facial was a $ 100 value and when I looked on their website it stated it was a 45 min procedure there was a facial included, but I did purchase back in Feb so perhaps things changed. I passed on the extra service since I was a bit in shock and thought well there should be at least a little bit of «facial treatment».
Anyhow it was just right to business after she analyzed my skin with a machine, told me what bad shape I was in etc. she took me into her room and started the microdermabrasion procedure which was much like a small vacuum sucking your skin in while I am sure something else was going on. There was no pain but it was very rushed and I swear it didn’t feel like everything was getting covered but its hard to tell. She was telling me about the products they use and that I should get them but never really put anything on me to try she did say she used an enzyme peel after to further exfoliate and she lightly rubbed that off and applied some moisturizer and sunscreen. My face was never washed afterwards (perhaps it isn’t supposed to be) but I had flakes and gritty stuff in my eyebrows, ears, hairline and had to clean myself up in the car and even found stuff later when I got back to work. I was planning on going fresh and clean/​no makeup all day but have never left with dead skin and or microdermabrasion stuff in my hair or my face feeling gritty.
Although I had high hopes and was really looking forward to this I was disappointed in the service I was in and out in 30 min and there was no relaxing spa feeling at all. She gave me some brochures for their products and a few coupons and wanted me to schedule my next appointment and include the $ 50 facial next time. All I could think of was I don’t remember what I paid for these but I want to return the other two since it is not at all what I thought I was getting, there is no way this could be a $ 100 service! Groupon is awesome and promptly refunded my other two purchases. I have to say 2 stars and the Meh. I’ve experienced better is a true representation of how I felt today and just want to give a heads up to any Groupon purchasers that this is not a traditional facial with the microdermabrasion as an additional component its just the procedure and thats it. So don’t make the same assumption that I did and you won’t be disappointed.
Now I cannot seem to get off their mailing list they ask for your phone number and or email to confirm appts and good luck getting them to stop sending you sales alerts and offers to come back ugh! Lost another star for making this bad situation keep
haunting me.
