Prim & Dapper

Kat and Lacey are angels! They really do listen to whats/​needs and give great suggestions! Thank you girls… this 5 star review is long over due!

Joanna has been styling my hair for over five years now and I’m still in the «honeymoon» phase feeling like a celeb walking out of P&D every time. She has been cutting, styling, coloring, (and fixing!), my hair all through the many phases of life including my wedding day and postpartum hair issues. We’ve gone short and long, dark and light, asymmetrical do’s, and even some self-​cut don’ts. My favorite Joanna fix was when she was able to transform my purple hair into a soft brown. Color is definitely her expertise! I am probably considered a «high-​maintenance» client, always coming in to fix something I tried on my own, but at least we can laugh about it! Once you find that perfect stylist that understands you AND your hair you are golden. Joanna will be my girl until she retires!
I’d also like to compliment Lacey and Kat because I’ve seen some of the work they’ve done and I’m always blown away!

I highly recommend Lacie for color and cut. She has taken care of my hair color for years and it always looks great. Lacie is just the sweetest person who loves (LOVES!) what she does — just my opinion based on watching her work. My son and husband always left with the most perfect hair after seeing Lacie. She is very engaging and easy to talk to about your hair or your life. I am going to miss Lacie and seeing other ladies at Prim & Dapper… I had to move far far away.
You people are very lucky to have such talent in your area so don’t wast it and make an appointment ASAP. :)

I started seeing Kat after my last stylist went on maternity leave three years ago, and am so happy I was able to locate her at her new spot. I’ve stuck with Kat because she knows how to layer my hair the way I like it (I have long, fine hair). Plus, she’s so genuine and likable. I get haircuts every 3 – 3.5 months; my haircuts hold up that long thanks to Kat. I truly believe she’s a very talented hairstylist, so much so that I have brought my mom to see her (she also loved her), and keep trying to get my bf to switch over to her.

I recently purchased a living social voucher to try out this salon. I had a haircut and balayage done by Kat. She is super nice, funny, and personable. She clearly knows her stuff! She has eight years of experience and took really great care of me. I told her my biggest complaint about the way my curly hair lays, and she immediately looked at the layers and dry cut the square edges so they were more round.
However, despite the wonderful review I give the space and the stylist, my haircut and color was NOT at all what I wanted or requested. Within two weeks I had to have my hair re-​cut, and my color is orange. I specifically asked for a haircut that I could grow out for the next four month, but when I came home my husband agreed that barely an inch had been cut off. My bangs looked perfect though! Kudos to Kat. She is definitely awesome. But I warned her that my color goes orange and that I wanted the ombré to be caramel and blond. Within a week it was bright orange. I am so disappointed because this is by far the most expensive hair cut and color I have ever purchased.

I’m a dude and getting a consistent, stylish haircut has always been a challenge. At least until I met Joanna a couple of years ago. She is the epitome of «pro», knows exactly how to translate what I want and delivers an excellent cut every time. It is such a pleasure to be in the care of those who really know what they’re doing, no guesswork, no uncertainly, just complete confidence and skill in expression. As a dude, this is the BEST THING.
When I heard that Joanna and crew were moving to the new Prim & Dapper in San Ramon, I was thrilled. The best styling, the nicest people in a friendly salon, very fair pricing, and just down the street. Look no further, get your head down to Prim & Dapper and get extremely happy with the results, looking great on the outside, feeling great on the inside. Especially dudes, listen what I’m saying here, go see Joanna for your hair-​cutting needs, she is the best in the business.

I have gone to many stylists over the years trying to get a cut that would give some shape to my flat fine hair– Joanna is the first who has given me what I was looking for. She also does a fantastic job with coloring. Thank you Joanna!

I love Prim & Dapper and am so glad I started getting my hair done by Joanna! The salon is inside Suvia Salon Suites in San Ramon. The Prim and Dapper space is inviting and tasteful. As for Joanna, she is one of the kindest, personable, and talented stylists I have gone to. She has an eye for detail and is always on top of the latest trends. I’ve gone in there a couple times now with a picture of what I wanted and each time she has been able to achieve the look with confidence. Also my husband who has longer guy hair goes to Joanna and she has done a great job with him as well. I’d recommend giving her a try if you are looking for a stylist in San Ramon!

I love this salon! I have been to many salons in my young life and have never been 100% pleased with my cut/​color. That is, until I met my stylist, Jo Gallo! She is absolutely amazing at what she does, she listens to what you want, keeps the integrity of your hair, and is very versatile. I went from having black hair to a lovely ash blonde over a period of a couple months, but my hair is still very shiny, soft, and voluminous! Not only is Jo amazing, but so are the other stylists!

IJoanba is awesome! I would highly recommend her for color, cut and highlights. She transformed my hair from beast to beauty! She listens to your needs adding her creative touch for amazing vibrant hair! Thanks so much!

I have been a client of Kat’s for a couple of years (when she was with another salon). It was a no brainer to follow her to her new location. She is wonderful — always takes her time to get to know her clients and really listens to what they want. She’s a true professional with an endearing, sweet personality. Total win-​win!

This is a great salon. The people who run it are great and its a nice setup. Everyone is very personable and make you feel comfortable — also with wine, coffee and small snacks makes the stay enjoyable.
I have been getting my haircut by Lacey for a few years now and this new shop is great in the heart of San Ramon. She has a great talent for her work for both men and women haircut/​coloring. I would highly recommend her for either!
Parking is super easy and accessible.

I have been getting my haircut by Lacey for several years. I love her! She does such a wonderful job and is an artist in my opinion. She’s one of those stylists I would trust to just say «do whatever you want!» And it would still turn out great. She recently moved from another salon to this one and I followed her here– because it’s all about the stylist. The salon itself is darling, cozy and comfortable. Love it!

Kat has always done an amazing job on my hair! I have been highlighting my blonde hair for years and have finally found someone who matches my colors just perfectly. I have never received more compliments than I have after I started seeing Kat.
The salon is very cute and the customer service is by far the best. You don’t feel rushed or pressed for time to give up your seat. The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing. 5 stars for sure!

Lacey has been doing my hair for a few years now, and it’s safe to say, I’d be lost without her! I have never met anyone as talented as her when it comes to color and cuts. Not only are her skills and technique above par and constantly acceding my expectations, they are also always up to date on the newest style trends and methods. This is so important to me, as I am the type of client who is constantly looking for change and fun new things to try. Lacey’s creative eye and expertise allows me to feel confident, and 100% satisfied when I leave her chair.
Lacey could not come more highly recommended and I’ve never trusted anyone more with my hair!

Have you ever had a stylist that is more interested in the «haircut» than you IN the haircut? If you want a good stylist without the ego and agenda, try Joanna. What I love about Joanna is that she listens to your needs and executes what YOU want. She’s got the skill to adjust to your unique needs and does it with a smile.

I highly recommend this salon, and specifically Joanna as a hairstylist. I have been getting my hair cut and colored by her for over 5 years and have never once been disappointed (in fact she always far exceeds my expectations!).
When I first started seeing Joanna I lived in Berkeley, but later moved to San Francisco where I continued to make the drive across the bay to see her. No one in the city compared! Last year I moved halfway across the country and when I came back to the bay area recently for a quick visit, I made it a point to see Joanna for a cut and color. Not only is she an incredibly talented hairstylist, but she is also a warm, sweet and down to earth person. Me and my hair have been very lucky to know her!

Before Joanna started cutting my hair a couple years ago, I tried numerous salons, barber shops, etc. but was never able to get a consistent professional cut. Joanna constantly delivers and I never leave disappointed. She knows what she is doing!
Her new place in San Ramon is right off the free way, plenty of free parking, and offers all the perks of a salon (wine, coffee, etc).

Jo is seriously amazing! The salon is soo cute and such a great environment! My mom has gotten her hair done from Joanna for years and she always does an awesome job. I just moved back into town and went for a blowout for New Years and got compliments from everyone that saw me! So thankful, Can’t wait to go to her for more services!

I have been seeing Lacey for three years now and have never had another stylist like her. Not only is she a color expert, who has taught other stylists, but her haircuts are like no other. I have not been able to find anyone else to cut and color at her level of expertise.
The best part… she is the sweetest stylist you will ever meet! I highly recommend Lacey to anyone I know!
