Mane Event Salon

I have never really gotten my hair cut and styled at a salon, I've always been a "supercuts" kinda girl. I wanted to try something different so I called to make an appt with Viola after reading such great reviews on citysearch. I have NEVER been happier with the way my hair looks! Viola did exactly what I didn't even know I wanted. I feel GORGEOUS! The salon was really clean and sassy and the staff was super friendly and knowledgable. I have never been one to write reviews, even if I had a great experience, but I was so ecstatic about my hair I had to share it. Hope this helped, good luck.

I just started going to this salon about three months ago, and I love it. I wanted a new updated look , when I explained it to Viola she knew exactly what I was talking about. My friends are all wanting to go to her now!!! She is going to be a very busy lady I am a very picky girl, so it is so nice to be happy when I leave a salon and not have to do my hair all over again! Thanks so much Viola! Tami

I started going to Ivo a while ago. He has been doing my haircuts for a while now. He suggested that I do Highlights because I started to see grey hair. He started by dying my whole head a beautiful golden brown color. He then added golden honey highlights. I was amazed at how shiney and sparkley it made my hair look. Everyone I Know commented at how great I looked. I am very pleased with the results Ivo delivered. Ivo is an extremely down to earth stylist that truly cares about how my hair looked and feeled. I would recommend going to Ivo if you care about your hair.

This is my first ever review but I have to let you know about Colleen. Colleen has been doing my hair for the past few months and has always exceded my expectations. For the past few years I have been bored with my hair but also cautious to do too much to change it. The problem - two fold, the color wasn't as bold as I wanted plus I didn't know what I wanted. Since Colleen has been recommending new products I have been able to do so much more with my hair. Also, she promised me if I used Purology, that my color would last. Boy was she right - this last time I had to color not because my hair was brassy (as in the past) but because my roots were showing. Colleen colored my hair and it was perfect, again. As she was cutting my hair, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Hmmm, I have an idea". I told her she had card blanc to do what she wanted as long as she didn't bring out the clippers. Colleen went to town, I was nervous but I know hair grows back. WOW, when she was finished I looked fabulous. She captured what I have been looking for all these past years!!! I have needed her for a long time. As a true artist, give her the pallette and let her do what she does best and you will be surprised. Colleen has cut my hair better than anyone else. I have had my new hair do now for 3 days and have had more compliments than ever. If you want your hair done well, and new ideas, you have found your hairdresser -- Colleen is your choice.

My hair is baby fine, and bone straight. It seems I am in a constant battle to get my hair submit to my will. I style it in the morning, and by lunchtime it’s flat and straight as a board again. This salon is surprisingly wonderful; it’s such a gem! I would never expect to find such a classy salon next to a Big Lots. When I come into the salon I’m always greeted and offered something to drink, Rachel is always prompt, prepped and happy to see me. We get to the chair there’s a little chat and then to the sinks and down to business! When I tell her what I want (it differs every now and then) She understands and does magnificent work. She understands the salon’s products and has given me great results that last past lunchtime (on to dinner) and volume unlike any I’ve ever seen! Her command of styling, color and product is phenomenal. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who likes great cuts, good color, and a great understanding of hair, and people. My favorite, one and only stylist Rachel is at the Mane Event, and I will always be a return customer!

Pros: They do more than just hair, they are full service.

Cons: The location is a little difficult to find, however once found getting there is a breeze.

Wow let me tell you this place is absolutely fabulous. Is this the promised land? On my most recent visit there, upon entering the door I felt as if I found my own little personal piece of heaven. The atmosphere is just superb. I was greeted shortly after entering by Rachel, to whome would be my stylist on this glorious day and adventure. First was the shampoo, which was just great. Moving on to the haircut, let me just say it must be the most extravagant haircut of my life. My hair never felt so alive! Each employee was very kind and helpful to any of my needs. I will be going back on every occasion that is possible. I left there feeling revived. Goodbye my old, flat, boring hair!

Pros: Everyone and everything in that place

Cons: Um, excuse me?!

I was very disappointed with the service I recieved at Mane Event. The owner of the shop was doing my highlights. After she put the chemical and foils on my hair, she had me sit in the cornor of the shop for over an hour, while she did three other peoples hair. Not once did she check how the chemicals were doing on my hair. Eventually, another girl came over and took me to have my hair washed out without the owner ever checking if the color was correct. At the wash station they left me for a half an hour. When I finally was brought back to the chair to have my hair cut, the owner was sitting in the reception area talking with other people leaving me sitting for twenty minutes. When she finally came over and cut my hair she did not do a very good job. I was very disappointed with the service and felt they charged too much for their service. I will not be returning.

I saw Ivo for a cut and brunette base color with multi tone caramel/honey highlights - the color/highlights turned out fabulous. My cut is not that exotic (basic layers) but the color is tricky because I am really picky and my hair processes really fast. I brought in some pictures, and he listened to what I wanted and matched the colors damn near perfectly. He even spent an extra 30 mins curling my hair even though he could have just blown it out in about 10 minutes. He was really friendly, very attentive and told me when he would come back so I wasn't sitting in the chair wondering if I was overprocessing. My hair literally bleaches in the sun, so I was really worried about turning out orange, but he made me feel really comfortable and checked the color frequently. I was so happy with how it looked at the salon (rare for me, it usually takes me a while to get used to new coloring) I booked another appointment on the spot. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it was kind of pricy - $205 before tip - and it's in campbell, which is kind of a trek if you don't live or work nearby. I'm thinking the price will come down next time since I won't need as much done (just maintenance, it needed a ton of work this time because I had just come back from vacation and my hair was literally sun bleached blonde so you couldn't even tell i once had highlights). But overall I was really satisfied and am going back in 6 weeks.

Hello to whom ever reads this. I moved From New York to LA and then to San Francisco. I have Had short hair and long, different colors, extensions etc. I have been to some great Hairstylist and Salons in these places and am not affraid to drop the money to get what I want. I wanted long hair at this time and called a hairstylist friend of mine to ask where I should get them done and he told me about this guy named Tye that he had met a couple of times that works out of Campbell. I booked an appointment for a consultation and I was very impressed. So I followed with the actual hair appointment for my extention. I have never looked so good in my life. He was very nice and sweet and funny. He even came in on his day off to do this for I had a HollyWood premier to attend the next day. Its taken me a while to write this for I had this done in Apri. of 2007. I have since been back and had them taken out and wanted Victoria Beckhams cut but for me and some fun hidden color done and he amazed me again.. You are great Tye and if you read this I told you I could get you in in LA or NY. Little note. It isnt easy to get in with him he usually booked for a month or so out and HAHA he is also usually running a little behind, but it is worth it and he always calls to let me know. He is in to what he does and is also always taking classes to update himself.. Great Job. Love Him.. Ohh and a big funny was I thought because his name is Tye that I was going to be seeing this Asian guy and well lets just say he isnt.. ILOL....I have learned with Tye to keep an open mind for he creates some amazing styles and colors which I would never had thought would look good but are. (He will give you what you want)

Pros: Bumble and Bumble Salon, and he is the Salon Educator but has more than just bumble training

Cons: West Campbell, He belongs somewhere else. But his boss is amazing and I would stay there to

Going to Viola all of my life (since she is my mother) she is the best hair stylist ever. Being the difficult client I can be...telling her I want my hair like J.Lo or Sarah Jessica Parker or make me blonde when my hair is red, which is the hardest color to change might I add, she just does it and makes me look great. Since I've moved to New York becoming a fashion stylist for celebrities, I only trust Viola to style and color my hair. My friends in NY laugh that I fly to San Jose just to have my mom do my hair when I have access to any NY hair stylist. She is an amazing colorist and respects her craft. All of my friends go to get their hair done by Viola. I love coming home because I can't wait to have my mom make me look beautiful. I think my next color will be like Nicole Ritchie... Magdalena
