Eko - A Joni Osterloh Hair Salon - San Mateo (CA)

Mak KALBERER I have gone to many stylist over the years, found Ngoc almost by accident and so happy that I did. Just this year she was out for several months and I had to go to someone else who was highly recommended, but to be honest, she does a much better job than this expensive recommendation in the City. Maybe my hair is a little trickier because it’s kind of curly, but not extremely. Not the cheapest haircut but definitely after several weeks after the haircut growing out I’m always grateful that I went to Ngoc! and 18/8

Shelby Smith Amazing! I saw Rose for a color correction, after having my hair turned orange by another stylist at a different salon, and she absolutely went above and beyond to fix the mess I came in with. I left feeling like myself again, nearly identical to the inspiration photo. Not an easy feat with the canvas I showed up with! She was kind, knowledgeable and so attentive to detail. Overall, the salon has a welcoming and sunny vibe, and the plus of having two sweet shop puppies!

Tim Waymouth This place rocks!! Tracy was my hair stylist and she reminds me of my asian aunties (but nicer). As a man with mid length hair getting a good cut is a struggle and she nailed it. The amazing service combined with the competitive pricing truly makes this salon one of a kind. I will definitely be going back!!

Jasmine Betancourt Found my new hair stylist! Siry is so sweet. She cut my hair exactly like I wanted and it looks great. She was very fast with it too. Priced reasonably at $30.

Matilde McQuarrie I had my hair dyed for the first time and Pam made it such an easy transition to colored hair. She did a beautiful balayage and made my blonde hair look brighter without losing its dimension. Cannot recommend her enough, shes amazing!

Matthew Reeve Fantastic service! Extremely clean and safe shop. Tom is great at all types of hair and nails, and his wife Ann is superb at nails. She has the most amazing massage skills with her pedicures. Prices are very competitive for this area. Make an appointment - they can get very busy. Pro Tip: go in the front door on your first visit (parking meters), but when finished get familiar with the back door entrance. The parking there is free for a couple hours and makes for easy entrance. - just ask them for permission to do that on your next visit!

Kaui DeMarzo Great place. Owner Dri is super talented and polite. Love this place. Loysl customer for over five years and counting! My husband switched from his stylist if 20+ years to Dri. My sons all go to him. He has cut my hair when it was long (down to the middle of my back) and short (clippers used). Hes an artist no doubt. I am so happy that I am his client. Never changing from Dri. Hes a neighborhood gem for sure. (Updated 8/2023)

K.P. Phung I’ve been getting my hair cut by Peter at Midtown Hair Studio for over 10 years, and I can confidently say he’s the best in the business! Peter is a true artist who doesn’t just cut hair—he sculpts it to perfectly complement the shape of your head and your personal style. His attention to detail and ability to understand exactly what you’re looking for is unmatched. Every time I leave his chair, I feel confident and refreshed. Not only is Peter incredibly talented, but he’s also a genuinely kind and professional person who makes the entire experience enjoyable. If you’re looking for a stylist who will make you look and feel your absolute best, I highly recommend Peter. You won’t be disappointed!

Erika Ugalde She does a very good job at a very affordable price. She stayed late just to fix my nails! I showed up without an appointment and she welcomed me even though she was already closing.

Angela Juarez Love it there!!! They are very profesional, súper friendly you feel welcomed once you step in, the stylists are always busy but they do a very professional work, when planing on doing color on hair better to make an appointment. They also do make up they do it very well just take a photo of what type of make up you will like or what clothes you will be Wearing to help them see the best look for you. If you have a hair style you will like to have they will let you know if that particular style goes with you or not. So to make it simple is a very nice place super family friendly atmosphere. Just remember bring cash. If not they have an ATM inside.
