Nick is incredibly profesional, fun, and talented with hair. I have never had time pass so quickly getting my hair done. He’s an incredible person as well as a talented hair stylist. The salon vibe is beachy music studio with handed painted walls, records on the ceiling and a fireplace! I will definitely be back and recommend anyone looking to get baylayage in the Bay Area. I drove from San Jose for Nick and his mastery of hair. Cheers!

nickolas is a master at his craft. he gave me the very best haircut of my life and i am EXTREMELY picky. i had waited a whole year to get my hair cut because my hair dresser was in italy where i was living and was too scared to have anyone touch my hair. my husband won't stop complimenting me on my new cut; nickolas kept the length and gave me the most flattering layers.

he understands hair from the inside out and will educate you on how to care for your specific hair type. there is so much gatekeeping in this industry, but he is truly a genius and will inform you on the right products you should be using. he has a new client for life and i cannot wait to come back to get my hair highlighted. can't recommend him enough!

thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Nicholas is the best! He has been my stylist for years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. He's professional, listens to what I ask for and then I leave looking amazing!

I've been visiting Nicholas at Stowaway Studios for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The studio itself is a cozy cottage, warm and inviting with vinyl records adorning the walls and ceilings, creating a unique and vibrant atmosphere.

Nicholas is incredibly down-to-earth and charismatic, making each visit a pleasure. His energy is contagious, and his intuition for what fits your hair and personal style is unmatched. Every time I leave his studio, I look and feel amazing—100% satisfaction guaranteed. If you're looking for a place with good vibes and an expert stylist, Stowaway Studios is the place to go.

When my old hairdresser of over 25 years retired, I was then in search of a new one.
We discovered Stowaway and I could be more pleased with the find.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!
I love the location, the cute little salon and Nickolas is just simply AMAZING! He is a wonderful stylist who knows his stuff and has years of experience.
Highly recommend, if I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Nick is wonderful! He took time to discuss with me what I wanted and wasn't afraid to share his own thoughts. As a result, I got a fantastic new hairstyle and I am thrilled! I am so pleased to have found Nick and won't be letting anyone else cut my hair.

7 months later and I’m still reeling from this cut. Posted a new photo of what it looks like now, with a closet doors in the background.
