I've been seeing Elon for 10+ years and she is the only person I trust to color my hair. After growing up in Sacramento, I moved to the Bay Area and will drive 2 hours each way to De Facto Salon so Elon can color my hair. She is truly an artist. She understands exactly what you need and always has a vision based on what you tell her you're looking for in your color/cut. I feel like a new woman when leaving her salon and have never been disappointed. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Love Elon and De Facto! My hair looks beautiful after every appointment. Elon has given me the best advice on what cut and lengths look best on me. So thankful to have found her!

Elon gets it right every time! I have been trusting her with my hair for over two years and have referred many friends. She is never rushed, and the color and cut are always exactly what we discussed. Definitely recommend!

Elon is absolutely the best! I trust her whole heartedly with my hair. She always seems to know what I want even when I do not have the words to describe it myself. My hair used to always break when it got to a certain length, but after going to Elon for a few years she has helped advise me on how to truly care for my hair, and now I have been able to achieve some length. I cannot recommend Elon at Defacto enough.

Elon is amazing hair stylist, she kills the balayage everytime. I’ve been going to her for 8 years and I always get complimented on my hair. De Facto Salon is located in a little shopping center with good parking, it’s so cute inside, it feels intimate and relaxing when you are there. Elon is so sweet and so is everyone else who works there. I always look forward to my hair color days. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair.

One of my co-workers recommended Elon and Defacto salon when I was looking for a new stylist, and I couldn’t be more pleased! She is one of the best colorists I’ve been to, and I’ve been to quite a few in the various places I’ve lived! I feel comfortable either chatting for a bit or just reading my book, because the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Highly recommend Elon and Defacto

I can’t express enough how amazing Elon and De Facto Salon are. I’ve been trusting Elon with my hair for nearly 8 years now, and every visit is an absolute delight. After some truly awful experiences with other hairstylists in the past—times when I left in tears—finding Elon was a game-changer. She takes the time to truly understand the look you’re aiming for, offering honest advice about what will or won’t work with your hair type and color. Elon is a true artist, carefully studying each strand and meticulously crafting a stunning result every time. Her attention to detail is unmatched. I’ve referred countless friends to her, and even those who’ve moved away still make the effort to drive hours just to have Elon work her magic on their hair. If you’re looking for a stylist who genuinely cares about giving you the best results, look no further than Elon at De Facto Salon.

I’ve going here for years. My stylist is Leanne and she is great! I do not live in the area and I drive an hour to see her! Highly recommend.

Excellent

Friendly and kind - highly recommend!!

Seems like a nice enough place and my friend has gotten great cuts here, but I was a bit disappointed. I had to ask multiple times for the stylist to cut my hair shorter and show her pictures again because she was too hesitant. It wasted a lot of time and it still was not as short as I wanted or as short as the picture I kept showing. This is probably fine for people who are equally hesitant to cut their hair. But not the place for short women's cuts.

Love the atmosphere!

Came it for my appointment just to find out it was double booked. I waited for over a month to be seen with David. He promised he would call me back and reschedule but never even bothered.
