Hair By Heather O’Connell @ Bloomies On Main

Heather is my FAVORITE barber ever!!! You could tell that she genuinely knows how you want your hair. She gave me great cuts ever since I started going to her place. I would totally recommend Heather to anybody in search of a barber!

How do I begin to explain how AMAZING Heather is?!
I’ve received many services from her– ear piercing, prom make up & hairdo, make up for graduation pictures, cuts/​trims, and highlights.
Heather makes sure she does what you want EXACTLY how you want it. I can’t overstate enough that she wants you to be happy when you leave her salon. She makes what she does personal– she treats you a step above a «client” — she treats you like a friend.
As far as her pricing, it is SO reasonable. Because she owns her own business, she doesn’t charge outrageous amounts like other large, high quality salons do. Those salons usually charge you extra for having long hair. Heather doesn’t do that. She understands not everyone has a million dollars to spend on hair, so she respects your budget.
Being that I’m a student and I have 2 jobs my schedule is always changing. But Heather is so sweet and she most always accommodates me when I have to change my time on her last minute. (Sorry, Heather lol.)
Overall, I trust Heather a great deal. I always leave her salon feeling new and refreshed. She always gives me great advice on everything about hair, skin, and nutrition, and also just life in general! I’ve been going to her for about 4 years now and I don’t want to go anywhere else. :)

Heather is the only person I trust with my hair. She knows how to cut curly hair (which is difficult) I’ve been to many other hairstylist in the past and they’ve butchered my curls. She knows how to cut, color, and style beautifully! I’ve been going to Heather for seven years now and every time she doesn’t let down.
Heather is not only a hairstylist but a makeup artist as well (even a therapist lol). She did my makeup and hair for Junior Prom and Senior Ball. She is extremely diverse and you will not be disappointed. She gives you what you ask for and also tells you what she is doing before she proceeds. Heather provides great communication between her and her clients. You won’t regret getting your hair or makeup done by Heather!

Heather is FANTASTIC. I know that I can sit down in her chair without a single worry I’m rather picky about how I need my hair to be cut in terms of upkeep required and ease of handling it (definitely not capable of taking care of it myself), and Heather is able to perfectly interpret my gibberish into a truly phenomenal haircut every time, as well as having a great time hanging out in the nicely arranged, welcoming and extremely comfortable salon.
I’ve been coming to heather for 5 years now and could never think of going anywhere else. Even living in San Jose it’s worth extra time to head out to Pleasanton and be entirely confident in the outcome.

If you have not found a great hair stylist than you have not had your hair done by Heather O’Connell in Pleasanton. OMG! She is the BEST! She listens to you, so you will get the cut you want. And color… she is such a great colorist! I get color and highlights. It comes out perfect everytime. After I found Heather I have not gone to another hair stylist. Besides hair, she is an awesome make up artist. So if you are looking for a great hair stylist, give her a call and book that appointment. You won’t regret it!

She never disappoints. She did my daughter’s hair. It was like from a Lion’s mane to a Pantene Commercial.

Heather has been making my hair fabulous for over 5 years now! Never cuts too much and always does what I ask! My hair always looks healthy when she’s done with it!

I have been coming to Heather for 2 years now and i absolutely adore her work (and her). I’ve got that crazy straight, too slippery, flat Filipino hair that most hair stylists have trouble with. I have been more than pleased with every cut she has given me. With my busy life, I am sometimes unable to see her again for several months. But the cut is so good that i am able to maintain a look/​style for that long. She is an impeccably educated and licensed aesthetician. She takes her craft very seriously. She gives sound, expert advice on how to properly care for your hair, skin etc. and is also an incredibly brilliant make-​up artist. Because her rates are very reasonable, I can afford a cut, color, wash blow-​dry, style brow shaping and other fun things (like feathers and tinsel)…all at once. That is all relative of course. My hair is the one thing i splurge on and i am beyond picky about letting just anyone touch it. The quality of her work is comparable (even better) than what I have experienced at upscale salons in downtown San Francisco (I used to go to Yosh/​Gina Kahn on Maiden Lane among others as i work across the street). But i would make the drive from a hundred miles a way to see Heather. She is an absolute gem. The atmosphere at her little shop in Pleasanton is cheery, lived-​in and warm. You leave feeling and looking fabulous. Thank you, Heather!

Heather is AWESOME.
I’ve been trusting her with my hair for about 4 years now and not once have I left disappointed. I always get compliments on how healthy my hair is, considering its been bleached, because she informs me on what to expect after the appointment and how to care for my hair. You go in for a color and cut and leave with hair knowledge that you never knew you needed.
Lately I’ve been letting her make my hair decisions as far as how much to highlight and how much to cut off. She never cuts off too much or too little and my hair still looks great even after I’ve gone months and months without seeing her. Again, she is AWESOME.

Heather always does such fabulous hair and make-​up! I always leave feeling more beautiful than before. Thank you for all your knowledge about healthy products and meaningful discussions about life!

Heather had 14 years experience. She knows what will compliment you (color, cut, style, budget, etc). She has done my and my daughter’s hair for years. She does a great job on my daughter’s eyebrows too. She is understanding to your needs and is always pleasant. She is great!

Heather did my hair for Ball and I couldn’t be happier. She listened to everything I wanted and the finished look was more than I could every ask for. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would go to her again.

Heather is great with her Prevana hair product and her Perfection. Now my hair is manageable. Love it.

I can always count on Heather to fix my hair after I decided to get a haircut while I was out of town. Next time I’ll just wait. Lesson learned.
Thanks Heather.

I do not trust anyone else with my hair except Heather.
