Henry Calcagno Design Studios

When I read on Unilocal that this guy really knows how to cut hair, I was a bit skeptical. But even months after my haircut, I can’t believe how cute my hair looks. (I don’t use any styling products.) I am definitely going back to him when I’m ready for another cut. Great work!

Henry will make you feel totally comfortable in his chair
He will talk to you and then look at your hair and will be able to pinpoint what needs to be addressed. As women I think it’s difficult for us to just let go and trust someone with our hair. You can totally trust Henry to make you look amazing and that your hair will be in better condition than when you walked in

Attention curly haired men and women! The answer to your frizzy, uncontrollable hair is Henry. I waited 30 years to find him. Don’t wait any longer!
I saw Henry about three weeks ago. I wanted to wait to write the review so I could see how my hair looked after some washes and life.
He is amazing at what he does. I got my hair cut and colored by him and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I used to drive over an hour to see a stylist in San Jose (who was also brilliant) but now I have found someone who is just as amazing and just ten minutes away!
Also, Henry is funny, nice, professional and caring. I’m very impressed!

I used to be the typical guy that went for the cheapest haircut in town and haven’t be more wrong in my life. Not only is there a noticeable difference but the service and attention to detail is outstanding. Thanks Henry and Jillian! I cannot believe what I have been missing out on…

I’m a Michigander but have been working in Walnut Creek for 6 months. I’m so tired of having to return to Detroit for my haircuts that I decided to try someone with great Unilocal reviews.
WOW! Henry is more than a hair stylist! He’s dynamic and full of charisma. He treated my hair like a blank canvas and created a work of art! I received immediate complements from my male colleagues, which is not a common occurrence. I absolutely love the funky look he gave me to match my personality and physique. I can’t imagine someone as good at their craft as Henry, who I learned is sought out as a speaker across the country for salon schools. What will I do when I return permanently to Michigan?!!

When I met Henry two months ago. Henry was running behind 15 minutes, like he overbooked his schedule. I didn’t think it was a big deal since it was my first time there but I saw him the next month for a cut and color and I waited 20 minutes for him to finish up the two other ladies. I was a little bit irritated that i I had to wait again after he brags about his experience of over 30 years. he told me to come back to finish my color after I made the appointment he cannot finish. I was very disappointed in his services.

I’m new to the area and found Henry’s studio through Unilocal — after my initial experience, I can only agree 100% with the positive reviews and add my own 5-​star rating. I had my hair cut/​styled by Holly, who works side-​by-​side, and has trained with, Harry; I couldn’t say enough good things about how well I was treated, how meticulously Holly worked and how pleased I was with the results (along with my wife, who isn’t shy about expressing her opinion). Holly, like Henry, is an artist — and whether you’re getting a «regular» cut or need something more, the care and expertise Holly applies to your hair ensures you’ll walk out of their studio a happy camper! Holly has earned my regular business — I’ll be back … thanks H & H!

I get asked often how I keep my curly hair looking so healthy. I do the work with proper diet and exercise but my busy lifestyle takes a toll on my hair. From the office to the gym to fit camps outside pretty much on a daily basis my hair is shocked so much by the atmosphere.
Henry Calcagno has been taking care of my hair for almost a year now. He has amazing techniques to cut curly hair to make it healthy but still keep the length. I keep my hair really long because it is so curly. The time he spends on the hair shows you he really wants you to be pleased with the finished product and that he is proud of his work. The friendship however is the best thing that has come out of meeting Henry. He and his staff are always warm and inviting and happy to see you.
Whether you have curly or straight, fine or course hair Henry can take care of your needs. Visit him and get an amazing experience!

I found Henry here on Unilocal.And I couldn’t agree more with the reviews. Henry worked magic on my hair. I spent 4.5 hours at his salon, getting my color fixed — more like gotten rid of — and new color applied. I make it sound simple, but it was a huge process. He basically removed my old colors — lots of different brown shades — and turned my hair into different shades/​tones of brown with beautiful highlights. This is probably the most nontechnical way to describe it. It’s really beautiful. There isn’t a single person I know who doesn’t love what he did with my hair. Obviously, I won’t be going anywhere else.
Also, Henry makes you feel at home in his salon. He plays good music, is great company, and likes to dance a bit while working! What a personality! This is a fun place to go to get your hair done, for whatever reason. But it’s really a must-​go if you need help fixing your problematic hair, like mine was. And yes, it does cost more. But in my view, it’s money well spent.
Thanks, Henry. You rock!

HENRY IS THE GREATEST!
We are all human, and a basic law of nature is when you LOOK good you FEEL good… So regardless of whether you are Male or Female; Old or Young; Blonde, Brunette or Auburn; A guy who needs a regular cut, or a gal who needs a bad color job fixed, or perhaps a new stylish cut for an important event: Henry has a solution for you!!!

More importantly, Henry is a wonderful person, who is fun, and a very interesting man to talk to. His salon is new, modern, chic and immaculately clean. His staff is friendly and very focused on each and every client. So call Henry for an appointment… I guarantee you will walk out of his salon LOOKING great and FEELING great, and will surely go back for more!

What can I say about Henry… wow! From the minute I met Henry at one of his many networking/​referral events, I knew he was the guy to replace my hair stylist in LA! Henry was warm and inviting and made me feel very comfortable in a room full of strangers, and continues to do so. As far as his work, he’s done wonders with my hair! So much so, that I commute from Palo Alto to Walnut Creek every time I need a cut/style…he’s that good! :) As for his customer service, he is amazing! As a very busy professional, my schedule and locations are in a constant state of flux. Henry knows this about me, so about 2 or 3 weeks before I’m due for my next cut, he sends me a reminder text… and he continues to persist (with my permission, of course), until I finally commit to a day and time. He has always been great about squeezing me in… in some cases at the very last minute! Overall, Henry is a great person, and a very talented stylist. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants to work with the best of the best in the industry! Keep up the great work, Henry!

Henry is a FABULOUS stylist and the best colorist you will ever find! He is professional and really understands and listens to how you want your hair styled and will offer suggestions. I walked out of the salon feeling terrific. By the way, If you are lucky to have Henry wash your hair, it is like having the best head massage ever! The staff at the salon are friendly and attentive. The salon is clean with a modern chic décor.
If you love your hair and care about your hair, this is the place to go to! Henry never disappoints. Definitely recommend.

I have lauded Henri Calcagno before based on a multiplicity of ladies’ comments I had heard concerning the quality of his Hair Designs. I have now witnessed it myself, together with 20 of my colleagues, with the transformation of an attractive young lady’s long blond hairdo into a masterpiece of hair design that only a top hair-​stylist craftsman can accomplish away from his own work place. Her beautiful blond straight hair was transformed into a graceful, sculptured work of art that enhanced the attractiveness of her pretty face. It rates best in my books!

At the risk of sounding repetitive, I must sing Henry’s praises. Having gone years with the typical gel/​spiked short mens hairstyle, I was ready for a change. So I endured the awkward task of growing out my hair, and after 6 months was in dire need of a quality haircut. This is where I introduce Henry. Beyond his great Unilocal reviews, his years of experience, training and awards are second to none.
I went to him with a picture of the hairstyle that I wanted and he spent 20 mins asking me questions and assessing my hair’s condition. He shared with me his take and ideas and waited for my approval to start.
He used techniques that I had never experienced on mens hair before, and he did with extreme ease. Additionally, he recommended the proper products to keep my hair healthy, as well as the best styling techniques to ensure I can emulate the style at home.
All in all, I have the highest regards for Henry, his skills and his professionalism. I will continue to see him for my haircuts, and I suggest that you do the same.

Made an appointment for my wife to see Henry and he took such great care of her that now my daughter see’s him as well. I love it when the two most important women in my life are happy and Henry does just that. I highly recommend Henry to anyone.
Thanks, Henry

Why do I drive far (50 miles one way) every two months to get a haircut from Henry? The answer is simple. His haircut is so good that it makes me feel beautiful, confident, and happy.
And I’m not the only one that drives that far. Three generations of family members, including my mom, daughter, sister, and spouses get their hair cut by him. We all have different haircuts, and they all look great!
I first met Henry when he was styling my sister’s hair for her upcoming wedding. My sister suggested I get my hair and my teenage daughter’s hair styled. We’ve never been to a master stylist before, and we were used to OK haircuts from haircut places. When Henry cut our hair, it was a total transformation! We both started getting compliments — lots of compliments!
Henry considered my bone structure, lifestyle, and wishes, and he created a gorgeous hairstyle. The hairstyle is feminine; lightweight; not too short or long; and easy to care for. It doesn’t drag or elongate my face. In fact, it frames and highlights it. As I am a working professional, the hairstyle is perfect. As for my teenage daughter, she has long, silky, beautiful hair, and he cut it to a perfect length and feathered it. She looks good, and she knows it. My sister got a beautiful updo for her wedding, and my mom got her hair cut short and very stylish. Suffice it to say, we all looked the best we’ve ever looked at her wedding. The photos don’t lie.
To make a long story short, Henry is so good at what he does that we cannot get the same thing from anywhere else. So every two months, for years now, three generations from different cities converge at Henry’s hair salon for our haircuts. We book the whole morning, and we get in line to get haircuts. Because my haircut always makes me feel spectacular and beautiful, I smile a lot. We all do. And I’ve come to the conclusion that life is short, and I’m worth it. So if you really want to get a haircut that’s right for you and will make you feel special, go see Henry. He’s worth it.

Henry’s talent is just insane, he is so good at what he does! Every few months, my coworkers and I get together for a fun hair day at Henry’s salon in Walnut Creek — which is bit of a drive from Davis — but worth every minute! The cuts are always beautiful and the atmosphere is so relaxed. He works his magic on my heavy long hair, and I cannot be happier with the results, every time! I can’t wait to go back to Henry’s as he knows exactly what my hair needs, without me having to ask. A veritable artist!

Henry has been my hair stylist for over 25 years. I wouldn’t think of seeing anyone else. Over the course of these many years, he has been at a few different locations in the Walnut Creek area, and I have followed him without hesitation. He’s very good about keeping in touch with his clients with occasional mailings. Nothing obtrusive — just a simple postcard once or twice a year.
He is an artist, an expert, an educator. He is a fantastic hair cutter. He always listens to me when I want to change my hair style and offers suggestions when necessary. He is also a wonderful colorist. I’m at «that age» when I need to cover up the grey, so of course Henry handles that for me. He uses this wonderful product that is so gentle on the hair and full of botanicals. He also does my highlights in an innovative and quick way that ends up looking great and yet completely natural.
Thank you Henry for being the BEST hair stylist around!

I was referred to Henry for haircolor and cut. I was having difficulty with my color and wanted a change in my haircut, something creative and updated. I met Henry for my appointment and was immediately charmed by not only his personality and the atmosphere of the salon, the fun and soothing music (your choice), but also ease in parking, and handling of my appointment. BUT … most of all, I was thrilled with my haircolor which was beautiful, soft blond with low lights and the haircut was so much fun — edgy and sassy. I receive many compliments! Henry is not just a stylist, but an artist and I highly recommend him.

Karen and I thank you so much for everything you do — you’re a truly talented stylist and color specialist. We always enjoy our appointments and we especially appreciate the fact that you have always squeezed us in at the end of a long day.
I have to tell you how much I like my hair color. I tried using men’s hair dye product, but it just didn’t look natural. Now my hair has a nice blend off gray just like it should at my age. Thank you for listening to what I wanted.
Henry, I just can’t thank you enough for fixing my truly horrible hair disaster, I feel so relieved now that my hair looks and feels good, and I promise that I will NEVER try to dye my hair myself ever, ever again! You truly know about cutting and coloring long blond hair. You’re absolute best hairdresser in the world.
