Kiersten was 19 years old and she opened her own salon in San Jose. Yep, I was one of her first clients... and was with her until she closed her salon in Gilroy in 2018. I followed her over the ‘countryside’...to the gym in San Jose, to a salon in Morgan Hill, to her home in San Jose, back to Gilroy. In 2016 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Yes, Kiersten shaved off my hair while we both laughed and cried. After six months, I was back into Kiersten’s plans how to bring my hair back. Over the years, we have melted into a wonderful friendship.

I am pleased to write this testimonial for Kiersten. Kiersten has been cutting my hair for more than 10 years now and I have never been disappointed. While getting a haircut might seem like a no-brainer and anyone can cut a man’s hair, it is important to have a skilled stylist who is familiar with my particular preferences and Kiersten gets it right every time! I moved away for a few years and could not find anyone that I was pleased with. When I moved back to the area, I sought out Kiersten as soon as I got back. She is friendly, warm, caring and funny! She listens to me and treats me like I am a friend. I look forward to my appointments!

Obviously love this gal and what she does for my hair, and my sense of well being too. Anyone women knows that once you find 'the one', you don't leave, and that's how I've felt for 30 years. I've followed Kiersten to several different locations over the years and each one has been lovely, clean and a welcoming environment (and often with fun retail too). Her ability to listen to your 'hair needs' and to provide feedback on how that may or may not be the best choice for your hair is always spot on. You know you've got a great stylist when gals are always telling you how healthy your hair looks, or that they love the color! I can whole heartedly recommend Kiersten (although selfishly I don't want to share her). She's fabulous!

Kiersten has successfully taken my hair through Spiral Perms in the 1990’s, Straight Hair with Stripy Highlights in the 2000’s, and Alopecia Areata in the 2010’s. I have personally experienced and witnessed her compassion and generosity of self through the years. Kiersten’s humor, expertise, and knowledge have helped me navigate through all my hair’s ups and downs. Kiersten is professional and a good listener, quickly grasping what I want to have done. She is an expert at addressing my concerns and expectations, and does not promise unrealistic results. Her new location is comfortable, fresh, current and clean. I look forward to my appointments knowing I will have great conversation while there and will leave looking incredible! Wherever my hair takes me in the future, I’m glad Kiersten will be my guide!

I started going to Kiersten about 20 years ago as my job location had changed and I needed to find someone in my new area. It was a great experience from Day 1. We’ve all had “that” stylist that does not care about what the client wants. Kiersten listens and offers suggestions based on my ask and what would work with my hair type and face structure. Kiersten has moved her business a few times since that first visit and I will continue to follow her wherever she chooses to do business.
