My 1st visit to Vail was 8 on a scale of 1-10. Angela did a great job though not exactly what I?d asked for. I will say she did great with my long, very thick Greek hair. But by the 3rd visit, I?d had enough. I had realized that she just keeps suggesting highlights until you agree instead of trying to just do the one you ask for, and color was always left on my facial skin. There were always several interruptions, even walk-in clients. My last Burgandy "deposit" came out bright pink the day before my vacation in Cancun. After later realizing she had not only charged me full price (she had been giving a discount that added up to a more realistic price) but had overcharged me, I thought the nervous laughter at my generous tip suddenly made sense (I hadn?t yet realized my hi-lites were neon fuchsia). I think Vail is fine for a novel experience but not for a serious place to put your trust in. Pros: one of the few who actually can do a long layered cut Cons: expensive, careless

I highly recommend her! So if you want style, get hooked up by giving Angela a call -->> (408) 202-9537 Pros: You'll look great Cons: none

I haven?t had a good cut and color since my last hairstylist relocated to Southern Cal. that is until I meant Angela at MG Image, aka Vail hair salon in downtown San Jose. Full of personality and happy energy, Angela has very much impressed me with her ability to help me create my perfect look, for which I have now received so many compliments!

CALL ANGELA NOW!!!! ***NEW NUMBER*** 408-202-9537 Unfortunately the Vail Concepts Salon shut down so WHERE IS ANGELA?! Well, don't worry I've found her. She has relocated to the MG Image salon near the Fairmont and right next to The Grill. Needless to say, THANK GOD. MG Image is located at 170 S Market St San Jose, CA, 95113 and it is BEAUTIFUL there and very professional. You can contact her to make an appointment at 408-202-9537. Angela is the best! I have had many bad experiences in other salons but I've been with Angela for so long that I'm thinking... what bad experiences? I remember braving other salons bringing a picture of what I would like my hair to resemble and they make the same thing a tired, boring grandma haircut. But i found Vail's ad in the Wave Magazine and CitySearch. Having her cut my hair is always a great experience. Not only is she a wonderful person to be around, but her haircut and coloring skills are AWESOME! You know why I know this? Whenever I step out of the salon with a fresh hair cut and color, I turn heads! I'm getting compliments left and right! :DD I feel soo good about my haircut that there's an extra bounce in my step. Never a boring hair cut. If I feel edgy, she'll give me edgy. And if I want to look professional, she'll give me a serious hair cut. She is so versatile! I love love love it. GUYS don't be shy. She gives a great man cut as well. Go call her up right now and go to MG. You can even go next door and eat at The Grill's sweeeet patio and have a drink. Cheers!! Pros: Angela's addicting haircuts and colors Cons: I can't think of anything

I have to say that my experiences at Vail Concepts in downtown San Jose have been great!!

I have been extremely pleased each and every time...and also get many compliments afterwards :) Pros: Great Services, Validate parking, Cozy Atmosphere Cons: None that I can think of...

At first, I thought the reviews here were exaggerated. However, I found them to be true. Leslie cut my hair exactly as I've wanted and more. She used innovative techniques to make my layered haircut a little different but not radically different. She was really sweet and listened to what I wanted. She took her time with me and made sure that I was comfortable during the cut. Leslie even styled my hair that got me numerous compliments later that day. They even validated my parking up to 2 hours! I highly recommend Vail Concept and Leslie! Pros: great service and style!

I created a profile on this site to HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANGELA! I went to a trendy chic salon in Menlo Park paid $400 for the "professional colorist from beverly hills to turn my hair "metallic" (direct quote from my husband) I asked for blonde. I was desperate and I didn't know what to do or who to call. After reading the reviews on this site, I called Angela to correct the color. I was scared as you might imagine. She was so sweet and made me feel at ease, the time flew and in the end I felt terrific! I Love my blonde hair... Angela....THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! Highly recommended!
