Moved up to the Bay Area from San Diego a year and a half ago and left a hair salon that I have been going to for years. It had seen my hair in many stages of my life and leaving them was hard. So since, I have not found a hair salon that I have been happy with. So I spent a good amount of time on Yelp reviewing reviews and looking at pictures and then bouncing to IG to see more pictures and reading comments. And alas, I found Inspire Hair!
Thank you Mercy for the cut and Julie for your talents with the color. You both treated my hair with care like it was a blank canvas -- and like most artist, you made sure to perfect your work to which I was extremely happy with .
If that alone wasn't enough, Mercy and Julie are so super nice...they made sure to explain what they were doing and what the next steps were, they were very accommodating - asked if I needed anything, if I was okay and comfortable, and the salon is super cute. Heck at one point, they both were drying my hair at the same time -- I felt so special and pampered!
If you can't tell by now how I feel about them, let's just say that if I can give them more stars I would

This has become my go to place. Jennica is my favorite and I always walk out with the look I want. Before coming here I used to dread getting my hair done because it was never quite right. But this place never fails.
I am happy I found this place! Jennica has colored my hair purple, pink, blonde and brown, as well as given me awesome hair cuts, she is very versatile. We have good conversations and she is respectful of alone time. My favorite part is she never skimps on service or rushes, I can be there at times for 4+ hours to get the desired look and she is consistent with the results + positive attitude.
Just note: You have to wait a few weeks for an appointment so plan accordingly.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 96735611996Jan 31, 2023Updated review
This used to be my go to salon but it has been impossible to book an appointment. I have been trying to book a simple cut for over a year, and no availability. It's unfortunate as I really liked coming here over the years.

Claire and Julie are a team and ensure you look amazing before you leave. Added bonus - their work is high quality and yet their prices are easy on your pockets..extremely reasonable!!
Inspire Hair is located in the strip mall in between the Lucky's and Freeze paint store. Tell them I sent you :)Oct 7, 2012Previous reviewMy experience with Julie was fantabulous from start to finish!
Consultation with Julie was quick and painless--she's a great listener and knows how to calm nervous wrecks (me!) and get them excited about getting their hair did. A few days later, I came back in to get my hair done as discussed during the consultation. We talked through the procedure again, and she explained the entire process. I have to admit after going to several salons, throughout the year, I was a bit nervous, but Julie has exceeded my expectations.
Her colors are superb. I mean her pictures do speak for herself. If you google ombre colors, most look terrible because of the disconnect between the darker and lighter colors. Julie makes the colors blend so well. I wanted to avoid the brassiness and she made the perfect transition from the dark to light.
Julie has such talent and she is such a great artist. I am hoping Julie will be my colorist fo' life yo!
Lastly, I was very impressed with the salon. It is very modern and sheik and just what this area needed.
Her price point and quality for ombre coloring is super reasonable. I am one happy camper.. - Mar 20, 2022Updated review
To be honest, I really, really don't want to write this review. I had been coming here to see Julie since I was in high school, which was back in 2016. I only came to see her for all of my hair needs. She's the sweetest and a true expert at what she does, so there is NO complaint there whatsoever.
The reason I've come back to write this review is because of the frustration I experienced last year-ish when I wanted to make an appointment to see her for my hair again. You can't make appointments with Julie online- you have to contact the salon directly via email or text. I reached out at least twice and both times received no response. I was a long time client at this salon and it felt like that didn't matter at all. The services here are great, but I wanted to hopefully shed some light on this issue I had here and maybe even return in the future if this gets resolved.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Sep 17, 2017Previous reviewThis review is for Julie. She is absolutely amazing and truly cares about her clients' hair and its health. She is super knowledgeable and great at answering your questions or addressing any concerns you might have and is soo pleasant to talk to. She keeps my hair looking bomb as usual you can tell she is super committed to her work, she stayed pretty late with me doing my hair even after the salon closed hahaha. We were both determined to achieve that perfect ash blonde and that's what she gave me. :') I always leave Inspire feeling super satisfied and refreshed and receive tons of compliments! Love you Julie
Mar 28, 2016Previous reviewLet me just say, the girls here are honestly miracle workers. I tried going to a different salon, but I definitely suffered the consequences and ended up coming back. The few times I've been here, I've left happy every time. Janette is great with color and Clare does amazing haircuts! The important thing here is that they make sure you know what you want, and offer suggestions. They also make sure you're happy before you leave the salon. Julie is a sweetheart and talked to me about how to care for my hair and made sure I was really happy with the results. Thank you Inspire, you'll forever be my go-to for hair needs

I fucking love this place! Not saying this place is expensive, but you DEFINITELY get what you pay for here plus more!
I decided to salon hop 3 times since finding inspire, and decided that inspire is essentially my go to salon, although I do know 2 other people who can get me right on the inspire level, but this is a review for inspire "! 5 stars!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Elizabeth T.San Leandro, CA01211Dec 4, 2022
Highlights and cut brought my thin, damaged hair back to life. Julie listened to my hair concerns and looked at my inspiration pictures and gave me a realistic and manageable plan for my hair.
There is abundant parking and COVID measures are still enforced (masks required, wait in car and contact when you arrive, 1/2 shampoo bowls in use for social distancing). I was the last appointment remaining at the end of the day and I saw the other workers thoroughly clean and sanitize all tools and stations.
Reasonably priced with high quality results.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lauren L.Alameda, CA02127Mar 9, 2022
Always had a good experience never a bad one and jennica brings my ideas to life and SLAYSSS MY HAIR
3 things I want to note
1. Virgin to processed still healthy didn't even feel like I bleached it
2. Bleached/retouched 8months later still healthy and no breakage
3. Big chop and re toned still HEALTHY
I've been coming here for the past 5 years and the team has been nothing but so kind and sweet to all clients and they are accommodating to cancellations. The stylist has to schedule 4-6 hours in their chair so when you cancel last second they still gotta get paid for the 4-6 hours of service they would have had. I also want to put in here that my hair has NEVER came out looking like garbage. Jennica will never have you walking out her chair with mediocre results. Very talented team and worth the $$. I get compliments on my hair 8 months after it's done so it says a lot.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Dec 31, 2018
Long overdue review, but after roughly a decade of having my hair waver between waist length and butt-length, I was ready for a change and new beginnings.
I went for an appointment on February 25, 2018, Sunday. Not sure if she works there anymore, but I had my hair cut by an Asian gal named Vivian. When I told her I wanted shoulder-length hair, and showed her my collection of hair inspiration pictures on my phone, she went, "Are you really sure you want to cut your hair that short?" She repeated her question, which I didn't mind, since I understood that she didn't want to have an angry customer who had more of their hair chopped off than they bargained for.
As she looked through my photos of hair inspiration, she also pointed out on the different styles and aspects of different photos, commenting on how my hair was thicker than the girls' in the photos, and being transparent with me and taking aspects of what I liked about those photos and applying them into my haircut. Even as she trimmed my hair, when I kept telling her I wanted to go shorter (at one point, she cut my hair to collarbone-length, and I wanted it shorter), and she kept asking me, "Are you sure?"
Again, I'm pretty sure she was asking me repeatedly because she didn't want me to experience a horror story of getting more of my hair cut off than I expected. Little by little, my hair got shorter, and it got lighter and layered, just the way I wanted.
It was worth every penny. I finally had the new short shoulder-length hairdo I wanted. I had compliments everywhere I went about my new hair, and I even told coworkers that I had my hair cut by Vivian when she was asking me for haircut recommendations in San Leandro! One of my coworkers went to Inspire Hair, and she said, "I asked for Vivian, but they said she wasn't there anymore." :(
Vivian, if you're reading this, you're amazing, and your attention to detail was fantastic! If you're really no longer there, I'm sad you left Inspire Hair! Despite that, I'm sure I'll be back here whenever I get another haircut.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Susana C.San Leandro, CA176674Oct 20, 2021
Had a beautiful hair cut by Julie.
My hair feels much stronger and healthy which is why I went in for a big chop. Although I am not a fan of short hair on me, I knew that I needed to get rid of a lot of the dry ends, and Julie did her thang!
The front desk employee was also very kind, professional and understanding, I caught crazy after school traffic in my way there which I didn't count on. I made sure to call them to let them know as a courtesy to their time. Because my service was to be short, they were still able to see me. I appreciate having this hair salon so close to my home!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Elizabeth G.San Lorenzo, CA0352Oct 27, 2022
I got my hair cut not that long ago here and I wasn't impressed..
For starters the waiting area is dusty, whoever cut my hair didn't introduce themselves so I don't even know who cut my hair, the work station was kinda dirty/dusty and I don't feel like it wasn't properly cleaned which was a concern because of all the covid stuff going on, the conversation between my stylist and I felt super forced and almost scripted.. it was uncomfortable, and to top it all off I'm not happy with my hair. And I'm really not one to speak up and say I don't like something and this time it was because there was really no way to fix my hair - it was cut and you can't uncut hair. I feel like I would've gotten the same cut at another lower end salon if not a better looking one. No hate to this salon or anyone who works there or anyone who comes here regularly. This is simply how I feel/my opinion based on my experience.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jan 15, 2017
I needed a mommy hair makeover bad, and after searching salons in the area, I saw some great work from Inspire. I'm #inspired! I booked my online appointment with Janette - super easy booking process. I was able to snag an appointment the same week! Yay!
I'm a salon nomad, bouncing from salon to salon since I'm never "in love" with my hair. Janette jokingly said that after she was done with me, I wouldn't be bouncing around anymore. She's right! She took so much time and care with my big mop! My hair is untamable, I swear!
She went over pricing with me and she was able to accommodate me even though I initially booked an appointment for color only. She did a balayage ombré, with a cut, and Olaplex.
I felt brand new after she was done with me. I wish I'm able to style my "hurr" all the time, but I'm excited to bring this hair out on a night out...which won't happen often.
The salon was also getting a remodel when I was there, so it'll be interesting to see the outcome. Whenever I find time away from my little one, I will make my way back.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0
