Shane is genius. I'd been going to him for awhile, and as I had turned 49 in 2018, I wanted to transition to natural color -yes, gray! I was hoping the transition would be complete by the time I turned 50.
Shane and I talked about the best way, and decided to go all-out 80s!! Due to the growth pattern, and the fact that I couldn't "deal" with the roots - we did a throwback, graduated Bob with one side pixied. Loved it! Pure genius!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Oct 3, 2015Previous reviewShane M. is truly a wonderful artist at Workshop. I had a messed up mess; uneven layers, three different color layers and my hair needed saving. I wanted to go shorter, but was super nervous. He totally put me at ease; we discussed at length how i felt, he had great ideas and incorporated my thoughts with his ideas, with fantastic results!
He also chose a gorgeous super dark brown that suited me perfectly, along with the cut. I've had nothing but absolute rave reviews from everyone I know.
Its precisely what I needed! Thank you Shane, you are, indeed, a rockstar!! - Bob G.Santa Clara, CA261Oct 19, 2021
We love the attention we get there. They're so attentive to our needs. We both always get compliments on our hair. We highly recommend the Work Shop!

I think the fact that I still drive from San Francisco down to Los Gatos to get my hair cut is a testament to how great this place is.
Elsa's been cutting my hair for a few years now, and I get compliments all the time. She's been very good about listening to my weird ideas of what my head should look like, and done her best to make those ideas reality (and usually better than what I dreamed up). I've sent at least two other people there!
The hour I'm there is always non-stop talking and laughing. Elsa and Jay are great, fun people, on top of being top-notch hair professionals!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Eh W.Santa Cruz, CA18763Nov 2, 2007First to Review
Elsa is a goddess with cuts and colors... even when I tell her to just suggest something or to surprise me (yes, I trust her THAT much) I always walk out so happy and loving my hair. I always get awesome compliments on my hairstyles.
Jay is great too, and a bit of a perfectionist, though it's a good trait to have when you're cutting people's hair :)
Fun Fact: Jay can, and will, cut any sort of mohawk or mullet that you want!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jodie H.Aptos, CA397821Dec 15, 2011

J has been cutting and styling my hair for more than 10 years - he does a fantastic job and I always look great when I emerge. J is also super easy going and fun to chat with. The environment at Workshop if fun, light hearted, and caring. On a scale of 1 to 5, it's a 6+++ !

As I read the other reviews, I too have been going to J for 10 years! J knows my hair very well and won't go to anyone else. He does quality work and really takes his time to make sure he gets it right.
I hear the same for Elsa and Shane. Nothing but compliments on their work. I've seen Elsa's work with cuts and color and her clients always look great after leaving her chair. The same with Shane. I get my hair colored with Shane and he's always done a great job. I've always been happy with the outcome.
If anyone out there is looking for a good place for a cut/color, this is the place to go. You won't be disappointed with anyone there!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Gloria C.San Jose, CA010Aug 19, 2008
J has been cutting my hair now for so many years I've lost track! He is the best...a genius with bangs and I love how he always gets my hair so straight and silky. Elsa is awesome with color - I get so many compliments on the purple highlights she gave me I can't bring myself to get rid of them!
Always great conversation, lots of laughs and new and interesting things to see every time I go in (especially in the bathroom!).Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chris S.San Francisco, CA34212012Sep 22, 2010
Been a client of J's for years -
Cool atmosphere, good stylist, good vibe.
Strong reccomend on the entire staff as I have gone to Elsa and Shane when in a pinch.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rita B.San Jose, CA477208Apr 3, 2010
Basically-- If you want to go somewhere and NOT worry about getting your hair messed up- you go to Elsa and J. They'll give you an amazing cut and keep a smile on your face. And if you need some color-- never fear Elsa will surely save the day! Been going there for years.. and will continue to do so!
