I have been looking for the great stylist for 14 years and I found her today! Keara CAN cut!!! Yes — She can REALLY style and cut. She has the «it» that differentiates between the average and the great and she is great. I don’t have nice easy to style hair — my hair texture is kinda stiff with little or no body but the result is still awesome. The «drop» of the hair, the flow of how the hair sits and even after I shake it — Wonderful!
Thank you Keara! I will be back.

Because «oh my god, I love your hair» is how I like to start my conversations.
Know your client, love your work, live out loud. That’s these ladies. I love being a client here.
Our dog is welcome, it has been nice for socializing him.
My partner looks great and feels good about her hair when she leaves here.
And important to me, when we change our hair style they teach us how to style it properly; so we look good everyday, not just the days we get our hair cut.

Erin is a great listener. She asks the right questions to find out when my hair needs are. She has cut my hair since 2012.

Keara listened to what I needed done with my hair and gave light suggestions/​seed planting for next time. I appreciate her attention to detail and for the great cut!

This is the best place to have your hair done. If it’s just for a cut, like me or for color and styling like my wife these Ladies do excellent work. Lesley is our hairdresser for our family and a long time school friend of our daughter. We will always come here!

I’ve been seeing Keara since 2009. Felt like I knew her a lifetime the very first time I met her. She is attentive to what you want, makes suggestions and works her magic. I will not let anyone else come close to my hair. I have curly hair, and anyone with curly hair knows one wrong cut and you look like u got electrocuted… daily. Keara knows all hair types and textures and I trust her with every hair on my head! So glad she and the rest of the gals opened Do Or Dye!

saw these gals doing some great updos at Spirit of 45 and thought it would be the place to finally get my hair cut/​styled the way I want (rockabilly/​punk). Called several times but never got an answer so I left a voicemail… no call back. Requested an appointment (twice) using the website form… no response.
After nearly 3 weeks I finally got a call back but it was too late. I already went some where else and really didn’t want to hear the BS excuses about why no one called me. Guess they don’t need the business

Lesley is great! I went in for a cut and got exactly what I wanted; blended layers and thinned out. The salon has a great feel and is really intimate. The massage shampoo chairs are another added bonus!

Let me preface this by saying that I have long, super-​thick hair. Erin knows how to curl it, she knows how to cut it, and she knows how to make it hold and stay styled in ways I –still– can’t figure out (granted, I don’t put the time in… but still! Hair magic). When the time finally comes to cut it, it’ll be done by Erin (with Keara and Lesley there to see it, hopefully)!
The warmth and professionalism of these three talented women are reason enough to call, or come in and see if you can get an appointment.
I’ve followed Erin from her past locations, and am so happy that she, Keara, and Lesley are running Do or Dye salon. I will always recommend them first to anyone searching for a new stylist. They’re worth it!

Just want to give a raving REVIEW and shout out to Keara at
«Do or Dye Hair Studio»
I had a friend tell me of a fun hair studio that turns out fabulous hair designs.
I was nervous to change to a different studio/​designer, and ask for new look to boot. I went to the appointment, really great experience.
LOVE MY HAIR. Thank you Keara.

First time there and I loved it. The atmosphere is warm and charming. The ladies are lovely and true to their craft. Parking is a non-​issue and they have chai coffee!!!
I had not cut my hair in about 2.5 years and took the plunge. I donated about 12 to 15 inches to a charity that makes wigs for children and won’t sell it off for extensions. Keara took the picture I showed her and enhanced the look for my face by 100%. She gave me the shaved look on the left side and tastefully did so with scissors. It was done so well that I can flip my hair over and no one knows. It’s a party on the left and business on the right.
She is very reasonably priced and does NOT do those ridiculous «up charges» like $ 20 extra for a blowout as some stylists do in Los Gatos. I highly recommend Do or Dye Salon.

I cannot recommend this salon enough! I hadnt cut my hair in over a year, and decided to take the plunge and donate about 14 inches. Not only do they happily do hair donations to Wigs for Kids, Keara did an AMAZING job on my first short haircut in almost 15 years. The salon is clean, adorable, great vibe, great service, and most importantly I bounced out feeling confident. I am so happy with my experience and am thrilled to know where I’ll be heading next time I need a cut!!!

Keara is amazing! She’s the first stylist to tame my cowlick & make my hair behave! I’d follow her anywhere & I’m so glad she finally has her own home in do or dye!

I can not get over how much I LOVE this place. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the talent is unreal. Keara does my hair on the regular and I am always 1000% in love with the results. I had Erin do my wedding updo and it was more than I ever imagined. I always leave with the biggest smile on my face. Love everything about Do or Dye!

My sister had recommended Lesley, her go-​to hairstylist for years, for a haircut and I had a great experience. I asked for layers and side swept bangs and it came out looking fantastic. She started out by cutting little by little with my bangs to make sure it was a desirable length. The best part is that she does free bang trims so you can stop by when it’s getting a little long. I’ll definitely be returning for a haircut in the future.
And just a tip, the salon itself is located behind the lingerie shop, so you’ll have to do a bit of searching.

This is a beautiful salon. From the Tiffany colored walls to the message shampoo chairs. You will have a great experience. Lesley is my hair dresser and I followed her here because she does incredible work. She know just how to give me what I want. I continually change my look and I always walk out feeling great. I will not go to anyone else.
I’m excited to see this brand new salon grow and blossom. Can’t wait for my next treatment!

I just had my hair done by Erin Lopez at the Do or Dye Salon today and I couldn’t be happier. I think she did a great job and I’ve already gotten so many compliments on my new color and style. If you’re looking for someone with talent and vision, look no more! I love my new look. Thank you so much, Erin.

Let me just start out by saying I am not an adventurous person when it comes to hair, I stick with the brown/​light ombré or natural hair. When I walked into do or dye I immediately felt adventurous and when I sat down in the chair I felt so comfortable. Keara did a cut and color on me that came out better than I could have ever expected. I came into the salon insecure and honestly bored with my current style. When I left the salon I felt like a whole new person. Confident, beautiful and free. Overly ecstatic about my new cut. Keara made me feel so comfortable and walked me through the entire process. I couldn’t feel more satisfied with my overall experience. I will be coming back and recommending EVERYONE I know to do or dye. Its an experience you cannot miss.

The professionalism at this location is amazing. I love how Keara doesn’t try to push a particular style on me. I am a wash-​n-​go kind of gal and keara know this. So she cuts my hair to look both good styled and not. Whenever I want something new she will give me ideas and let me know if something is realistic for my laid back hair attitude.
I’m very excited about her new salon!
