Elysian Hair Studio (Hair By Lily) 265 Meridian Avenue Elysian Hair Studio, San Jose, CA 95126

"I’ve been going to Lily for years! She is always taking care of my hair when I lift the color to get that ashy-blonde color for my babylights and she is really detailed, meticulous and experienced because in all my years of coming to see her I’ve never had any issues or discoloration. She actually fixed my hair when I first came to see her because the tone was getting too orange and she brought it back! Her haircuts are also amazing!!! She takes her time and treats her clients like friends and really takes care of them because she wants them to be happy with their hair. I’m always going to come to Lily’s because she knows all the latest trends too :) run don’t walk and book your appointment with her!!!! I’m so in love with my hair every time I get it done with her"

"Lily is honest, hardworking, and super talented. She will walk you through what is possible with your current hair and stress the importance of working through a process. You won't be disappointed. I usually get babylights and a rootmelt. There is no harsh line when my hair grows out and I always get compliments at work. I'll always come back to Lily. I trust her with my hair and walk out happy every time. She recently moved to a different salon and it's a super cute location with parking."

"Lily is the only person I'll ever trust with my hair. I have really thick, course hair, and loads of it. I'd say my hair probably weighs a good 20 pounds, no joke. Before I found Lily, no one seemed to know how to deal with my hair. I'd leave the salon with poor color, a bad bleach job, and out $600. Then come 2021, I was recommended Lily by one of my friends who had been seeing Lily for years. From just a quick look, Lily immediately knew how to fix my hair. She takes her time with each layer, masterfully creating dimensions and depth that left me unable to stop ogling at my gorgeous locks in the mirror. That was when I knew I had found the one. For as long as Lily still operates her salon, I'll continue entrusting my hair in her skilled hands."

"If you are looking for your go-to, holy grail stylist, look no further. Lily is incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent, and is always refining her craft. She is a god-send and will provide you with Instagram-worthy, healthy hair. I first came to her salon six years ago moving from Minnesota to the Bay Area, after going through multiple hair appointments that were sub-par. Lily was able to take my grown out highlighted Asian hair and transform it into beautiful ashy blonde. Lily continues to work her magic every appointment I have with her. Now that I have moved back to Minnesota, I will travel to the Bay Area to get my hair done by her. She is worth it. I appreciate so much that Lily will listen to her clients and hear their concerns, while providing honest feedback, using her expertise and knowledge. I trust Lily with my 100%. She is also an amazing person, kind, and caring about her clients. I highly recommend her and her staff."

"If you naturally have a dark hair color and want to be blonde? Then you must see Lily and her team!! Lily was one of the first people I knew to hop on doing balayage and making us Asians becoming blondes a reality! No more thick streaky highlights! That was over 10 years ago and I have stuck with her since then. She took me from BOX BLACK DYE to the beautiful blonde and multiple colors in those 10 years. After all those years of bleaching, my hair has never been brittle or weak. She truly cares about your hair and will never push it to the breaking point! When you invest in yourself, you truly feel the best!"
