When your hair looks great you tend to feel great, which is why it's so important to find a local hair salon you really like. Plenty of San Jose locals say that Raw Studios is the place they trust for precision cuts and custom color.

This trendy, locally-owned salon specializes in creative hair color, and a quick look at the shop's photo gallery shows happy customers with hair in a wide range of pastels and other fantasy colors, all styled to the nines. Looking for something a bit low key? No problem. You can also visit Raw Studios for a quick trim to keep your style looking neat. If it's your first visit, your stylist will want to spend the first few minutes of your appointment in a consultation, to be sure that you're both on the same page about what you want your hair to look like.
