5 /5 Maple Nose2: I have been very fortunate to have had Star cut my hair for around 15 years now and have never written a review, which is ridiculous because Star provides the most consistently high quality service of anybody I work with in my life, across any service dimension.
Some context: I am a male in my late forties, and I started getting haircuts from Star in my early 30s. When I first met Star, I had not planned on paying much for a hair cut or wanting to go to a professional; I had always felt that the fast barbershop haircuts I received were pretty mediocre, but I didnt see value in paying for a higher level of service. And then I met Star pretty much by accident at a large salon where she used to work, and ever since, I have seen it differently…
Back then, as now, I found that Star really worked to make my haircut look fantastic. She is clearly well-trained and very talented, but the differentiator is that she takes pride in her work! That is so important because it means that she wants the haircut to be great not just to make me happy but also to make her happy. And because she does such a careful and quality job with my haircuts, they last much longer - my hair can grow out and still look good for several weeks beyond what I experience with others.
Net net, I would highly highly recommend Star to anyone looking for a quality haircut -- and she is a very nice person as well. Also important to note -- Star had owned her own Stardust Hair Salon location in Palo Alto but had to sell it after the COVID hit, so she now works out of Jax Salon in Menlo Park (and fortunately her haircuts are just as good!).
