Paola’s beauty studio - San Mateo (CA)

5 /5 Peter G: I don’t say this lightly — Paola is an exceptionally talented stylist with advanced skills in scissor work, blending, and layering techniques. Paola has consistently done an amazing job with both my family’s haircuts and my son’s haircut, highlighting the best features of each person’s look. But don’t just take my word for it — check out the photo of my son and see for yourself.

5 /5 Amanda Lin carlson: I absolutely love Paola! She has been cutting my hair for more than 10 years! Paola is a true artist, her cuts are beautiful and grow out amazingly! She is also a stellar colorist and if I hadn’t learned so much from her through out the years she would be coloring my hair still. The first few photos are from today with a before and after … and the next few are from a cut 6 years ago!

5 /5 MYH: Paola is the most incredible colorist and stylist I have ever had. I have been going to Paola for 4 years - I am asian and getting the most perfect blonde highlights and color is NOT easy!! Paola perfected my highlights and color within 2 visits. I get stopped everywhere I go asking "who does my hair?!!" Not only does Paola make one feel so beautiful with a modern, of the moment look that is personalized to ones hair type, but she is SO fast! My prior colorists/stylists would take a total of 5 hours to do highlights, color, cut and style. And Id have to pay TWO people and if I was only doing color/highlights, Id have to walk out of the fancy salon with wet hair or style myslef. Paola is so talented, she does it all - color, highlights, cut and style and Im out of her chair in 2 hours! Paolas rates are so fair. She tries to keep the most flexible schedule - it is always client first. My husband, my two teenage sons, my Mom and probably 15 friends that I have referred now go to Paola! We love Paola and highly recommend her!!!

5 /5 Pierinelli Lan (Lp): Thank you Paola for taking care of my husband and I! We’re always so happy to see you :) We’ve been going to Paola for years and she has always been consistent with her cuts. It’s hard to find a hairstylist that can always stay on point. Paola will not disappoint and I highly recommend her. She always has been so kind accommodating us. Both my husband and I trust only Paola with our hair. One side note - During covid and currently, she has been so careful. I really appreciate that because she cares about her clients well being. If you’re looking for a great haircut and safe covid protocol - come see Paola

5 /5 Lan Pierinelli: I recently came in for a cut. I’ve been going to Paola for years! This last cut needed to be especially spotlighted because I had hacked my own hair!!!! It was so atrocious. I had so much anxiety and went at my hair one day. It was so embarrassing. Paola worked her magic and made me feel beautiful again. It was a hard lesson to be learned! Never ever cut your own hair! Also my husband comes for his regular hair cut and loves being taken care of. Paola is so thoughtful and cares a lot about her clients. If you’re looking for a experienced hairdresser with reasonable pricing, don’t hesitate to book with her. She only works on the weekends, at so heads up to book in advanced.
