Cindy and her team did an outstanding job coming to our Air Bnb and assisting us with hair and makeup. We had multiple hair and make up request and the 2 stylists were able to get everyone ready in a few hours. Our makeup looked nice and well put together well into the night and so did our hair. I am very pleased with the results and professionalism from Cindy and her team. Thank you for everything.

I had a haircut from the amazing Nicolette! I was going back and forth on making this appointment due to covid concerns, but she took the time to explain their policies and what they are doing to ensure the safety of themselves and their clients! She also made it a point to make sure I was comfortable coming in to appointment before I came. I am currently trying the curly girl method on my hair and she was able to give me a lot of tips to cut my hair styling time! With her help I was able to bring out my natural waves and minimize my frizz!

I’m so excited to have found a hair dresser that I LOVE in the Bay Area, and she’s not ridiculously expensive like so many other places in this area. Meredith is so talented and she always brings my hair dreams to life, no matter what I ask for. I will never go anywhere else again! The store is super cute and conveniently located close to downtown Burlingame/Burlingame Avenue. They maintain it so well and I always enjoy spending time with both Meredith and Loren while I’m there!

After a terrible experience with glam squad cancelling the day of my engagement shoot, PRIMP was able to squeeze me in at the last second. Meredith was amazing! Thank you so much!

I’ve been going to Meredith, aka hair God, for about 12 years now. I followed her to Primp Hair Salon and absolutely love the salon! Everyone is so welcoming and the atmosphere is so friendly and fun. All the stylists there are wonderful and have long term clients. I highly recommend this salon for anyone who cares about their hair!

I highly recommend Nicolette! She knew my vision before I even had to explain myself. She's so mindful of what products to use to keep your hair healthy and she makes sure you're feeling comfortable! I had a horrible experience with a different salon where they gave me too blonde/patchy full highlights, and Nicolette knew exactly how to fix it! I'll never go to anyone else. She really did her magic!

I am new to the Bay Area and have been looking for a salon I can go to and trust for my thinning and damaged hair!! PRIMP was recommended to me by a friend who is a client or Loren's. I am always reluctant to try a new place due to my thin yet very curly hair! Loren is incredible!! In just 2 months I have seen such a positive change in my hair. Her coloring techniques along with her product suggestions have made my hair the healthiest it has looked in years! She takes pride in her work and as owner takes her time with her clients making them feel pampered and well taken care of! I would

Background: My hair was up to my waist and my grey hair was out of control. As a new mom, I am on a tight budget and rarely have time to take care of myself -- when I finally decided to have a new look, I had such a traumatizing experience that I ran out of the salon crying. My cut/style was nowhere near how I described it and she colored my hair black instead of medium/dark brown. And did I mention that she used a razor to cut my hair? split ends waiting to happen...

Fast forward: I am not sure how I found Nicolette Cabe but I am glad I did. She was very pleasant and really took her time to

After getting my extensions removed, I tried different three times over two months to get a haircut that allowed my fine, wavy hair to air dry without styling yet still look great. It ended up uneven, frizzy, and unflatteringly messy.

Then I met Nicolette.

Day of haircut: Nicolette did a fantastic job, my hair came out exactly the way I wanted it.

But how will it look after I wash it and my waves re-find their cuddle buddies again?!

Day 2: Woke up and finger combed my hair, then spritzed with hairspray: DARLING

Day 3: Rinsed my hair and let it air dry: ADORABLE

Day 4: Washed my hair

When I found out my hair stylist Nicolette Cabe works at PRIMP, I decided to check out her new salon environment. The salon is a very cozy and welcoming environment and not too far from downtown Burlingame area. She retouched my chocolate highlights as well as trimmed my wispy front bangs. I've been a loyal client with her for the past 4 years. She works quick and efficient.
I definitely left PRIMP happy and satisfied.
Thank you again Nicolette. I wish you the best at PRIMP. Can't wait for my next appointment. See you soon!

This salon is truly a gem; the vibe and the stylists are awesome. Book now!

Bianca Rose is a color magician. She did a rainbow unicorn oil slick look on my hair and I couldn't be more excited. She was thorough, professional and so much fun to work with. I instantly felt comfortable sitting in her chair. She understands complementary colors, blending and is able to create the most beautiful colors with her precise techniques. Every time I look in the mirror I'm so happy to see my hair. I can't boast enough. Beyond anxious to see what she will do next. Thank you Bianca and PRIMP!

First and foremost the salon is adorable with a rad art deco vibe and its near downtown Burlingame.

Second, I have been seeing Meredith for a few years now and followed her to PRIMP. She has an uncanny ability to understand what you are looking for even if you cant really explain it. She will never lead you astray and will be completely transparent about the process and the up keep of what you are going for. She continues to stay updated on new/celebrity trends and is a serious color wiz. Just look at her hair and makeup ALWAYS ON FLEEK!!! She is her best walking advertisement. Ladies and Gentlemen

I came over with Meredith to this salon PRIMP.
Meredith is wonderful!!! Every time I leave after my service with her I receive tons of compliments I actually left a appointment once went to IN N Out burger and the young gentlemen working said your hair looks really nice. I was shocked "well I just got it done". She is worth the drive for me which is far. She gives suggestions for products to use and ideas for future event hair styles. I really cant say enough about her professionalism and about her work when completed, it is like art. Thank you for making feel confident and comfortable
