Ohhh WOOOOOOW! I was literally walking by, not having to fix my hair color in mind at all, I saw this salon, thought to go inside to get a quote for fixing my bad hair color done at salon 77 west, and indeed Im lucky Christine met me, and told me she can do my hair now, I was desperate that i will ever be able to tone up my blonde hair, remove all the orange and get the lovely look i had back, and guess what. SHE DID IT!! My hair looks just amazing, this is the best hair color experience I have ever had in years! The place is very welcoming, people are warm, i was immediately at ease, moving freely, talking to everyone, I felt like home. They definitely have me for so many upcoming years as a loyal customer! Way to go Fabulous Christine!!! Read Less

Mike Wallace provides exceptional care to his clients. He is a true consultant who pays close attention to detail and is focused on ensuring his clients are comfortable, engaged in the process to provide long term happiness through education and leave well pleased with their appearance. His passion for helping his clients feel the very best radiates. I was referred to Mike by a lady I met on BART. I complimented her on her hair color and cut and she raved about Mike. She explained her transitions of styles through they years and how she has been loyal to Mike for well over a decade. The next time I saw her on the train (a train I have only taken twice) she provided me one of her business cards. I have very little, thin and curly hair so I was a challenge and Mike took it on with excitement. Read Less

I have gone to Mike Wallace for the past year and have had a great experience every time. Not only does he cut hair amazing, he takes the time to teach me little hair tricks and techniques. He is professional and passionate about what he does. I recommend him to all my friends and family. He is so good that he gets booked quickly, so you'll want to make an appointment as far in advance as you can. Read Less

In regards to the review of a client who received a  bang trim from Mike Wallace.  In the salon at the time were three co workers and three clients.  It was unanimously agreed that her reactions were inappropriate to say the least.   All of us felt that under the circumstances Mike handled himself very well.  With a client who was clearly troubled, Mike kept calm, was sensitive and showed compassion.  My client of 30 years and I heard every word said and her statements are not accurate.

I have been going to Calipso's Salon for approximately two years and see Mike Wallace. Mike gives great recommendations, Mike will take the time to complete a consultation prior to getting your hair done. I brought in few pictures to help create my own personal style.  We looked at different colours and cuts and this always helps so we are on the same page. With this extra communication I receive cute haircuts and colours that are complementary to my busy lifestyle. Mike listens to my needs (no time for blowdry, emphasize natural wave, etc) and provided great guidance for a low maintenance style.Scheduling can be very challenging for my schedule, but Mike always finds a way to get me in.  Mike also does a great job on my husband's hair as well as my daughter's hair, so he really is great for the entire family.  We are very lucky to have a nice, unpretentious hair artist available. I love my hair and I will be back! Read Less
