Best hair extensions, great hair salon!
by Lindsay6

I have been going to this hair salon for about five years now. I have seen a couple of hair stylists for my highlights, colors, and cuts, and always got good results. I feel like they really make an effort to take care of my hair and keep it healthy. I recently started getting hair extensions because I hate how thin my hair is, and I love them!! I decided to shell out the cash to get my hair extensions in San Jose at Special FX, they sold me on them because of the technique and hair that they use. The initial investment seemed a little high because I had to buy the hair. It is actually human hair from people from Europe! Kind of weird, but it looks totally real and I don't have to take special care of the extensions, which is great. Now that I already purchased the hair, it is not as expensive to get my extensions moved up. And the hair can last at least a year, or more even. I've had my hair for six months now and i can't even see a difference in it yet. I got my hair extensions done by Denise, she owns the salon. I definitely recommend her.
- Pros: ambiance, parking, beauty products

When I first moved here from San Diego, I was really nervous about finding a new hair stylist - I am always afraid of getting a scissor-happy hair dresser. I tried a few different hair salons and day spas in San Jose before I went to Special FX. The best thing about my hair service was that my stylist got my highlights right up to my roots. And I told her I didn't want to trim more than two inches off, and she listened! And after reading L.M.'s review of their waxing services, I think I might try out some of the salon's other services.

Special FX was much nicer than the outside storefront in an inconspicuous mini-mall with a Smoke shop and a donut shop- simply called Donut would suggest. It is beautiful inside and goes on for miles. They offer every kind of salon service available. I went for a badly needed eyebrow and bikini wax. My aesthetician, Iris gave me the perfect eyebrow wax and an almost painless bikini wax. She also convinced me to try microdermabrasion for which I will be eternally thankful. My skin looks better every time I go in.

Tucked in a strip mall on Branham, Special FX is a very nice salon and day spa. The salon is quite large inside and has a pleasant and soothing atmosphere. Anya is a great stylist -- she is by far the best colorist I have found and is friendly, accommodating, and provides great cuts and color at very reasonable prices relative to other salons in the area. Everyone there is friendly, very service oriented, and geared towards providing their customers with a delightful experience all around.

Special FX offers a range of beauty services, including hair coloring, highlighting, and extensions, facials and microdermabrasion, massages, manicures and pedicures, and treatments for the body. I received excellent service from the staff and love the salon's ambiance.
