Great salon, Great haircut

by mama_pa at Citysearch

My experience at Nimbus Salon was excellent! The salon was contemporary, clean, and comfortable and I was served the most delicious tea that I have ever tasted. I went to Sara Hines for a haircut and partial highlight and gave her very little guidance. I had heard such wonderful things about her that I wanted her expertise to guide the way! I have never had as many positive remarks about my haircut nor my color before (actually, people normally don't even notice my hair after a cut/color!) so that has been awesome. I am going to return to Sara Hines at Nimbus Salon for sure!

• Pros: awesome cut/color, delicious tea
• Cons: parking was a challenge on Saturday afternoon

Stay away if you are coloring your hair blonde!

by Prof2008 at Citysearch

I went into Nimbus with a beautiful shade of blonde hair, looking for a root touch up, and a few ligher highlights, and left with brown hair streaked with bright orange. They didn't leave the color in long enough, and it never lifted, resulting in a bright orange. They then dyed my hair TWO more times in the same sitting in an attempt to correct it. After three dye jobs, I had massively damaged hair, and they charged me a "discounted" rate of $120.00. They only offered me an appointment for a 4th dye job, but refused to offer me a refund. The owner wouldn't even call me back, even though the other staff acknowledged it was one of the worst dye jobs they've ever seen. I was completely unconfident going for a 4th dye job, yet I couldn't keep the bright orange hair in my professional work environment, so I forked over another 200.00 to go to a color correctionist at Salon Blu, and finally ended up with presentable hair. If you want good blonde, go to James at Salon Blu...he's absolutely terrific. Ironically, a girl next to was also there for a color correction after a mistake at Nimbus. Same problem...brassy orange.

Sara Hines Is Amazing!

by slaygirl25 at Citysearch

I have been going to Sara for 3 years now. She is a genius! I like to change my style often and she is fully capable of that tedious task. I have been punk rock, classic, etc. I get a TON of compliments, even when I am majorly overdue. I highly recommend Sara Hines!

• Pros: Aveda~Tea~Los Gatos atmosphere
• Cons: None

BEST HAIR STYLIST AT NIMBUS SALON!!!

by nchi at Citysearch

I have been getting my hair done with Sara Hines, a Senior Hair Stylist for about 2 years now. Sara has the ability to create special techniques for each individual person, by creating a unique look while coloring your hair, highlights, and haircuts. I would highly recommend Sara to all my family, friends, acquaintances, and anyone because I know she will give everyone 100% satisfaction on their new hair image they will love. I must add that Sara has affordable pricing and she gives great recommendation to new hair products that will fit your hair necessities.

• Pros: Great Stylist and affordable pricing!

I went to Nimbus for a haircut and style after a friend recommended it and I have not stopped going back!! I got so many compliments on my haircut it was crazy. I was very impressed with the results and the pricing was reasonable. I highly recommend Celeste as a stylist; she is AMAZING at what she does!

My favorite treat !

by rochelle16 at Citysearch

I love Nimbus! Although I only get my hair colored once a year, everytime I've gone, and each new person I have met... was amazing! The last girl I had even went out to get food and brought me back some as well! Aveda products are very important to me, and Nimbus is the perfect provider. The decoration is very homey and it is the perfect Los Gatos location. Definite YES
