Fringe Salon

Had the immense pleasure of getting my hair cut and colored at this salon. The salon is chic and comfy, providing a selection of teas and magazines while I waited (I arrived early). My stylist listened to my suggestions and made some of her own. I love my new look and highly recommended them.

Why does this salon not answer their phone? The voicemail messages I have left are never returned. This is the second time I have had to visit the salon in person to make an appointment. Extremely inconvenient and really not very professional. Like they don’t actually want any business.

Nicola has come to the rescue after 4 years of trying to find the right person to do my hair. She listens to what you want, then uses her expertise to turn that into what will look best and work best with your hair type. I’m absolutely pleased with her and she’s a joy to chat with as a bonus!

Fair, but not the best experience. I wish mine had been more like the excellent reviews others have posted.

I have been a client for about 1 year. Laura A. Has been my stylist, and I highly recommend her! My cut and color are perfect. I’m getting compliments all the time. I have referred many friends to her, and they are totally happy with their hair. And compared to some other salons, Fringe is much more comfortable & reasonable!

My friend recommended Vanessa Alvarez at this salon. It has been the best move I have made. I had been bouncing around salons in Campbell and Los Gatos never finding anyone I felt was consistent. It’s been over a year now and I’m still very happy with Vanessa! She is very conscientious and really makes sure I am happy before I leave. I really trust her opinion. The Fringe salon in general has a really good vibe!

Fringe is a comfortable salon. The stylists are situated close together and it’s easy to eavesdrop on another client’s conversation. My husband and went to Fringe for the first time Saturday, which happened to be prom night. What fun! If I’m going to hang out at a Salon for a couple of hours, I want to fell comfortable in the environment as much as I want to love my hair.
Laura cut Jim’s hair. She was fast and it looks good! I went to the salon a couple of hours later and watched Laura create a lovely braided updo and perfect make-​up for one of the teens.
Meghan Burt, formerly with Ideal, is a newcomer to Fringe. I liked her immediately. I love my color, love my cut. My husband actually complimented my hair; he usually never notices. Meghan is also an experienced make-​up artist. At 60 years old, I think it’s time to freshen up my look and I plan to go back for a consultation.
I also watched the owner interact with a couple of the stylists (she was working herself) and clearly this salon owner treats the staff with respect. I’ve been to salons where that is not the case.

Nicola Nordstrom-​Wright is the way to go. I met her via a special offer, and have been going ever since. She is an excellent colorist and very entertaining as well. It’s always a pleasure to go see her at Fringe.

I could not be happier with the cuts I receive from Heidi at Fringe. I am frequently asked where I get my hair cut, and I am always enthusiastically recommending Fringe!
Heidi is absolutely the best hairstylist I have met — especially for up dos and short sassy cuts that are feminine and fun.

For the past fourteen years I’ve been a loyal customer to Heidi, Fringe Salon’s owner. I call my appointments, my ‘hair therapy’ time. My comments and desired are listened to and valued. Heidi uses her expertise to cut my curly hair to look the best it can. She is constantly on the look out for products that best suit the needs of a curly haired woman.

I believe Vanessa is one of the very best color/​stylist in the county. She has always given me beautiful color and a fantastic style. I have never been disappointed. She attends a lot of hairstyling classes to keep up with the current looks. I like it that she uses Redken products. They work the best for me.
Vanessa is not only an excellent hairdresser, she is also a great person to spend time with. She is a very kind and heartfelt person. Go ahead, treat yourself!

Nicola is the best, she has been doing my hair for years, the best part is, after a haircut it looks great, but it gets better, better and even better with time. you are the best!

I’ve been through 3 different hair stylists since moving back to California and Tara is just thee best! She worked with me to find the right color and highlights for my hair and does an amazing job! She is also reasonably priced and I recommend her highly! She totally goes the extra mile!

If you need a hairdresser who doesn’t over cut and you just want something trimmed, ask for LAURA! She’s the first hairdresser I’ve ever had who is really good at honoring requests!

Love this place and have been going for years. I won’t tell you my favorite hairdresser because I don’t want her overbooked so that I can’t get in! :)

I went to Tara after purchasing the Cruzon Daily Deal which gets you highlights, conditioning treatment, and a cut for only $ 55. Let me tell you, it was the best $ 55 I’ve spent in a long time.
Now, I’m not a salon girl. I dye my hair with box dies, and being from San Francisco, I usually head straight to those $ 14 haircut places on Noriega or Irving. Just put in a few layers and I’m good to go. But I decided to splurge (if you could call it that) and let a trained professional handle my tresses.
Tara was amazing! When picking the color of my highlights she knew exactly which colors would look good on me and explained to me how she would fade them and angle them so that they looked natural. The cut she gave me was fabulous! She was able to keep my length, remove all the dead weight, and put in the right amount of layers to give my hair movement and volume. Absolutely what I wanted.
The conditioning treatment was amazing. A week later and my hair still feels softer and healthier than it has in years. After cutting my hair, Tara styled it beautifully. Admittedly, I am horrible at doing my hair. But I went out and bought a blow dryer (for the first time – I know, what kind of girl am I.) and a round brush in hopes of somehow learning to replicate what she did.
Five stars for amazing work, amazing deal, and feeling amazing about myself while walking out of Fringe.

If you want an amazing haircut that you’ll love, call Fringe and ask for Tara! She is an exceptionally talented stylist and is the best in her craft, doing hair for over ten years. She does fabulous cuts and hair-​coloring and is extremely experienced and knowledgeable of all things hair. She is super sweet and a great listener; a very important ingredient for getting your hair done right. She goes above and beyond to make sure your hair is perfect. I guarantee you’ll love Tara and your hair.
Fringe Salon has a fun Western feel from the outside and has a convenient location in Scotts Valley.
A+

As others have said, five stars is not enough. I have been seeing Tara for a few years now and happily followed her when she moved to Fringe. I REALLY like Fringe. So comfortable, not pretentious. Tara really listens to you and never disappoints. From the simplest cuts to the most outrageous you can imagine, Tara can do it and it will look amazing every time.

After two disastrous haircuts, a close family friend referred me to Nicola Nordstrom at Fringe. I literally had almost no remaining hair to shape and was terrified, if this trip failed, that I’d be reduced to either wearing a wig or a brown paper bag. Not only was Nicola a complete joy to be around, but she someone managed to create a completely fabulous bob that I received daily compliments on.
I have been seeing Nicola for over a year now and she is truly magnificent at what she does. We have played around with a ton of cut varieties and she always does her best to execute everything that I ask. Even when it doesn’t go exactly as planed, Nicola solves the problem so I never leave her chair unhappy. She is also a skilled colorist and I am looking forward to heading back to her chair at the end of this month to play around with highlights.
Finding a talented hairdresser that you trust to take care of your tresses and then want to go out to dinner with after is a rare find indeed. Nicole is all of these things and I highly recommend her to all.

What a great salon. They do not over book, they take their time and do great hair.
There is no drama of bitchiness/​friction/​tension in this place, which I reallly appreciate. No mind numbing ²⁴⁄₇ gossip.
These stylists are pros.
You can relax while getting a great hair «do.»
