Inside dbs Salon
Our story

A salon built around real hair.

Since 2012, dbs has been Sunnyvale's home for curly haircuts, low-maintenance color, and honest conversations about what your hair actually wants.

We believe great hair should fit who you are, how your hair naturally behaves, and the amount of styling you actually want to do at home.

What we stand for

Three things, always.

01

Texture first

We honor your natural pattern — straight, wavy, curly, coily — and design every cut around how your hair actually moves.

02

Healthy hair rituals

Products, formulas, and techniques chosen to protect your strands, scalp, and color longevity — never at the expense of health.

03

Real-life styling

We teach you how to recreate your look at home. The chair is just the start; the mirror in your bathroom matters more.

The journey

A few chapters.

2012

A Sunnyvale corner

dbs opens its doors on El Camino Real with a small team and a big belief: curly hair deserves specialists.

2016

Curl education takes root

We begin offering in-chair curl coaching and home-care plans so every guest can recreate their style.

2019

Bridal becomes a calling

Our wedding hair & makeup bookings grow from one a season to a fully booked calendar of once-in-a-lifetime moments.

2024

Eleven cosmetologists strong

Today, our team of 11 stylists serves every texture, every budget, every maintenance level — and we're still learning.
