I get my hair done by Jennifer Farrell, I’ve been seeing Jennifer for several years now and every time I leave the salon I am always in love with the work she’s done. I also get many compliments from people! The salon itself has his vibe that I love as well. If you’re looking for a new stylist Jenn F is the way to go!

I see Jennifer Farelle, she is super sweet, gives great advice on starting a new style (she cut 4 inches off a ways back and did exactly what I wanted, a cute A line, I can straighten it/​curl or wavy) just had another cut and love it even more. Never had as many compliments on my hair before… Ever! Also– everyone who works there are great! Say hello, check on you and are just fun gals to be around. Highly recommended.

Nicole, Jennifer… rock my world. They are terrific with color, cuts and keeping me relevant in the world of style.

Initial impression
GREAT service… very friendly and nice… I didn’t know it was appointment only but they didn’t make me feel weird or dumb or anything. Jenny gave me her card and told me i could text or call her and schedule an appointment. Awesome… will keep this in mind for next time :-)

I had my hair cut recently by the lovely and talented Mindy D. She took the time to listen to my concerns and suggested a style that would be easy to maintain and give volume to my otherwise fine, stringy hair. Needless to say, I love it! She’s genuinely down-​to-​earth and a blast to talk with. I look forward to my next appointment. By the way, the salon is so tastefully decorated!

Jennifer Farrell is the best! She has been styling my hair for years. I even followed her here from Salon Amour. She knows exactly what color, cut, and style will work for you. I would never go to anyone else. I always get compliments on my hair after seeing her. If you are looking for a new stylist try Jennifer. Plus, she is a sweetheart.

This salon is absolutely the BEST! Jennifer F. has been cutting and coloring my hair to perfection for years. Heaven on earth.

I have been going to Nicole for almost 2yrs now and I must say that this is one of the best salons ever! Nicole is super professional and knows exactly what she is doing. I truly leave there everytime with a huge smile on my face and beautiful hair.
What I love the most is that Nicole truly gives you her honest feedback and makes sure you look fabulous! I have my appointment in early December and I can’t wait!!!

I have been going to Mindy D for a few years and absolutely love her. She is so warmhearted and welcoming. I 100% trust Mindy with my hair. Anytime I have come to her with questions, hair advice, or opinions on a new look I want to try, she gives an honest response. If she doesn’t think I will walk away loving my hair or doesn’t think a particular hairstyle is right for me, she won’t do it, which sets her apart from so many hairstylists out there. Mindy wants her clients walking away looking and feeling their best.
Oh yes! Did I mention she starts the appointment with an amazing scalp massage, followed by a hand massage???

I love this place!!! I’ve been coming to Jenn P. for YEARS and will travel the 30 something miles just to have her take care of my hair worries! I tend to use hot tools on my hair to change up my looks which then means I end up having fried ends! But a girl’s gotta have some cute do’s! ;)
Jenn is very professional, bubbly, outgoing, and knows how to work her magical powers to make your hair go from damaged to AMAZING in just hours! I usually have somewhat of an idea on what I want when I get my hair done, but I just kind of let her work her tricks and expertise to make it come out VA-​VA-​VOOMISH!
If you decide to get your hair done, Jenn P is the choice for a fun sexy flirty or professional look! If I could give her 10 stars… I definitely would! =)
THANKS JENN!

Great place. Nicole did my hair and she recommended to layer my hair and it turned out great! I was happy to found this place. I got a gift card from a a school auction and paid $ 70 for it and got $ 150 service. WIll go back there again.

Mindy is FANTASTIC!!! I called Mindy and she was super sweet to put me in her schedule. I emailed her examples of what kind of highlight color I’m interested in and she emailed me back wonderful and useful advice. On the day of my appointment she greeted me with a super warm personality! We had a quick consultation and she was all ready to go. My highlights came out spectacular. I have really dark black hair, so I was concerned if the red would be bright enough… but Mindy had that magic touch and surpassed my expectations! My hair still feels full and healthy with the super bright red highlights… I am so happy I finally found a stylist I will stick with as long as I can!

I actually facebook stalked Jenn P. to get back in touch after she left Alameda and I couldn’t find anyone that cut my layers just the way I liked them. Jenn is very honest and has even gotten me out of my little box by recommending new styles, bangs, length. And I’ve been thrilled every single time. My cousin even drives out from San Francisco to see Jenn and we just make a day of it at the salon. Jenn is fun to talk to and so sweet. Her blowouts are the best! She keeps me modern, fresh and I feel great every time I leave her chair. Jenn is great!

I highly recommend Jennifer Farrell for highlights and styling (cut)! I started going to her at SalonAmour and followed her to her new location about a year or so ago. I’ve been going to top salons when I lived in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles and she could work at any of the places I used to go.
I have a lot of hair, and medium brown, so she does low and high-​lights that really makes my hair look beautiful. She spends a lot of time with me and does a killer blow-​out that lasts for days. And she is really cute, friendly and sweet (and very accommodating).
Feel free to text or call her directly at Jennifer (925) 408‑1072.

Oh, forgot to mention what a wonderful job Jenn does on my color. My grays are going crazy but she does her magic with the highlights and low lights and you would never know how bad they are. I’ve never had a bad experience with Jenn. She’s experienced, knowledgeable and makes the experience relaxing and fun.

Jenn Phaxayavong is absolutely the best for both cut and color! She is actually a color genius. She can take a description or picture and make it reality. The coloring products they use at Inspired are high quality, make my hair shiny and beautiful and it lasts for longer than most hair color products. The color is even better than Aveda, and I was loyal to Aveda for 12 years.
Because Jenn is that good, I have been going to her for 5 years, initially at Salon Amour, then I even made the trip to Alameda and THANKFULLY she is back in Pleasant Hill at the very beautiful new salon, Inspired.
Jenn P handles all of her appointment scheduling by text message (the best) or voicemail and is extremely accommodating to meet her clients schedules.
Her prices are better than most salons and the personal touch is worth every penny and more. She is professional, honest and will not let you leave her chair unless you look your absolute best. If you want beautiful hair, go see Jenn P!

Ive been getting my hair done by Jenn P. for years and she always does an amazing job! Jenn P. knows what hairstyles and colors looks good on me because half the time, I go in seeing her not knowing what I want done with my hair.
I get numerous compliments on my hairstyle and color, all thanks to Jenn P. So, if youre looking for a hairstylist, Jenn P. is your girl!

I am so happy that my stylist of four years, Jennifer, is back in the East Bay! I just returned from my first visit to her new location at Inspired. LOVED it. Great décor, great vibe and so close to home!
I have naturally straight black hair and Jenn has ALWAYS done a great job with a stylish cut and color. No soccer Mom hat for me (for 6 – 8 weeks anyway!)
Great spot, near TJ Maxx — shopping and a new ‘do — perfect!

I followed my stylist Jennifer to this location after she moved, and I’m so glad I did! This intimate location is very soothing and quiet. They have a rockin’ playlist humming in the background, and the Euforia products are absolutely spoiling my newly tamed mane!
It’s really hard to find someone you trust to style your hair, and when you do… you NEVER let them go. You will certainly feel the way I do after you check this spot out.
P. S. For those of use with curls, it can be even more difficult to find a stylist that truly understands our woes. Jennifer will give your curly Qs the best treatment this side of the Bay!

Jennifer Farrell is the BEST hair stylist that I’ve EVER had in my life! I’ve tried many hair stylists in the past (heck, I’ve even dated hair stylists/​colorists!) and hands down nobody has given me better cuts or color than Jenn! It never fails that after I have an appointment with Jenn, I immediately get compliments on my hair! I LOVE that! I’m the type of client that will let my stylist be creative and have the autonomy to do what it takes to make me look FIERCE, FOXY and FRESH! Jennifer achieves this consistently!
Jennifer had worked for many years at Salonamour in Walnut Creek, but now she has her own space at the very stylish yet comfortable and intimate salon called INSPIRED! She’s has been trained by the best and your hair will speak for itself! She’s savvy in both women & men hair styles & color! I have naturally wavy hair which has been difficult for me to style, but Jennifer has trained me to be confident with styling my own hair! She really INSPIRED me to have great hair styles! Also, her personality is awesome and can make anyone feel comfortable. I always look forward to my appointments every 3 weeks with Jenn!
The owner, Nicole worked with both Jennifer & Mindy (the third stylist) at Salonamour and now these ladies are their own bosses! Yay for them! You’ll love the vibe, as it’s not like one of those huge «Factory» salons where you’re just a «number»! I typically go to Jennifer but I wouldn’t hesitate having any of these ladies touch my hair.
Try out INSPIRED in Pleasant Hill. Make an appointment with Jennifer Farrell and tell her that KJ’s Unilocal INSPIRED you!
