Farzana is really helpful in understanding your needs and coming up with ideas/solutions. I was looking for hair extensions / topper for my thinning hair and I am so glad that I met Farzana. I could openly talk to her and get a perfect solution. Received lots of compliments for my new hairstyle. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Farzana!

Farzana is a master colorist. With 30 + years of experience you are simply in the best of care with her. Trust that she can transform any hair. Hands down best colorist in the Bay Area.

I'm so glad I found Farzana to fix up my hair. I got it straightened and then came back for highlights. Farzana is a true expert. She is very efficient and professional, and super easy to talk to. She followed covid protocols, disinfected the area before my appointment, and kept the door open. I will definitely be coming back in the future.

I found Farzana’s salon on Magicksleek’s website when looking for their affiliate salons. Farzana is a very nice person and establishes trust connection with you quickly. She also is super quick for delivering exactly what is asked. Considering the length of time she has been in this business in the area, it’s hard not to trust her in first place.That’s where all the good things ended unfortunately for me.

I am used to having Japanese hair straightening done for more than 10 years. It was a couple years I stopped that treatment knowing the harsh chemicals. I researched this time and came up with raving reviews about “magic sleek” straightening and how it’s a much healthier option. Her salon happens to be “the only” salon in the area near my home that has affiliation with that brand. Hence, I tried to get an appointment from her to try this new method.

When I arrived for my appointment, she also highly recommended the new method and confirmed it’s healthier than Japanese… so I was super confident about my decision and proceeded with the procedure. Once done, I asked her if it’s possible to get slight highlights as well and she mentioned it’s risky, but can do it quickly. Considering the risk, to get a better coverage, she recommended I get highlighted hair extensions so I agreed. I paid 1000+$ for the entire process and was happy I could get what I wished!

A couple days later my nightmare started when washing my hair after treatment. In the shower big and small strands of my hair started falling apart and lost its natural elasticity altogether. Every shower I collected excessively huge amounts of hair like cotton candy and since I have small children and family obligations to arrange, I never thought too much about it. However, since January that I got this treatment, I realized gradually that have lost almost all of my hair (falling apart and breaking in shower each time).

I don’t usually have time to write reviews. However, I felt that I should share my experience with people who are similarly looking for healthy permanent hair straightening products. While Farzana’s salon failed to provide any warning signs about it, there is also not much evidence/information about this product in internet. My two cents message in this review is: Please do deeper research and also stay (as much as you possibly can) away from trying out new products which especially rave about their product and how it is healthier without much further knowledge (and case studies) shared about it. This product essentially destroyed the bond and structure of my hair and no protein / salon treatments have been able to fix it. I ended up cutting my long beautiful hair short !

Farzana is absolutely AMAZING! My family has been seeing her for over 18 years. She’s done permanent straightening, hair extensions, hair color and hair cut, all of which have turned out perfectly! I would 100% recommend her services for anyone looking for a hair treatment.

Farzana is a wonderful stylist! She gave me a beautiful balayage and was very accommodating of my needs as I wear the hijab and needed a private salon. She closed the blinds and locked the doors so that she could focus on my hair and also to give me the privacy I needed. Farzana is experienced, confident, and kind. I highly recommend booking an appointment with her!

Farzana is one of the most talented hairstylists. She is very skilled as well as passionate about her work. I have been going to Farzana for more than 6 years. I have had hair straightening, color, highlight and many haircuts. I trust her one hundred percent with her recommendations. Her salon is a very peaceful place to be. She is kind and I love being in her salon for my long appointments. She is very punctual and you are always the only one she is attending to during the appointments. I highly recommend her.

I’ve had great haircuts and hair color treatments from Farzana the last few years. She’s a master hair stylist for sure.
