Hair Stylists in Oakland

“How much do I love Tiff and the team at Pony Studios? I'll BART over in an effing Bomb Cyclone Atmospheric River Flash Flood to have her tame my curly mess. She's a hair artist, trust her and you won't be disappointed!“

“My experience with ShineForth hair and makeup service for my wedding was exceptional from start to finish. Rebecca's manner is very welcoming and makes you feel at ease immediately. We worked together to achieve the perfect Old Hollywood Glam look, and she was receptive to all feedback from the photos she provided during our preview session. Using high-quality department store products, she provided enough coverage for a natural glow without any heavy layers that might rub off. Her style gives you a natural beauty look, and she created the perfect wedding day glow.for me. She even accommodated a request from my husband for subtle under-eye touch-ups that covered his dark undereye circles and blended in makeup to his forehead making it look completely natural and picture-perfect for our big day. Pampering for the bride included under-eye hydration mask and beautiful natural-looking mini-eyelash extensions which were nothing short of stunning. She went above and beyond in helping me on location with last minute assistance as I prepared to walk down the aisle. I am so grateful I found her here. I wholeheartedly recommend ShineForth if you are looking that warm, caring exceptional service and natural styling expertise.“

“Universe is an amazing stylist. Her haircuts are precise, stylish, and trendy, yet matched to my preferences (short, low-maintenance). She always has new ideas to try, which makes the experience all the more fun. The other stylists/barbers at the barbershop are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. I always look forward to my visits to Knuckleheads.“

“I was referred to Vee by my bestfriend Machelle. I showed Vee some pictures , I wanted to perm my hair. I came in but my hair was unfortunately too short and she told me to come back when it gets a bit longer. Which at that point she wanted to make sure it came out to how I wanted it. Not a quick money grab just to do it. I came back about 2 months later and man she made my dreams come true , my hair looks sooo good. Exceeded my expectations! Very honest very professional!! Thank you Vee!!! I can style it wet more curls or dry wavy as you can see in the photos. Thanks again Vee!!!!“

“My favorite place to get a haircut. I brought Mom here for the first time. She never got a nicely styled and hair cut because she always opted for those cheaper haircuts. So this was a treat when she suggested to come get a haircut with me. The place is clean and great background music. The place is very welcoming and clean. Mo is the best. Thank you for giving Mom a lovely treat! Our chats are lovely, too. I'm never bored. :D“

“Lhiza is amazing! I had congestion/sinus issues & I went to see Lhiza for therapy. After a couple treatments my sinus problems were gone . It’s been about 6 months & I feel great. I highly recommend Lhiza!“

“Beautiful Salon with Beautiful stylist, The salon is very clean, and well kept. Well sterilized after each client and in a great location off of a Park Blvd. There's meter parking as well Street parking if you choose to take a little stroll. There are also a few food selections located walking distance nearby. These professional beauties focus on natural hair styles for all types of ethnicity, and welcome you from the moment you walk-in. I received services from Estella Mack, and she's AMAZING, I'm sure I'll GO BACK!!!“

“Mia is the BEST! Skilled & experienced with an artistic eye as well as professional and warm. I'm so happy I found her. I met Mia at her cute Oakland space for a consultation, and from the get, I felt her confidence and experience come through. She was easy to talk to and was able to hold my vision while offering her professional advice. I've thick black/brown Asian hair that's peppered with some gray and not interested in a demarcation or High maintenance root touch ups so Mia did a beautiful job giving me some balayage pieces and made everything a cool navy blue which will blend nicely with my silver hair as it fades out. Now I've a base that I can switch up and be creative with as things grow out. It's always such a blessing when you find someone you can put your trust in and just sit back and feel taken care of!“

“I'm relatively new to Kelvin but I can vouch for his professionalism (service, accommodating one's schedule) and the beautiful cuts and tints he gives. His talent is awesome. He's kind and an absolute pleasure to be around.“

“Just gave me a friendly, affordable, and stylish haircut. Thanks Nick! Milo the dog was a great bonus too :)“

“I was met at the door and promptly given my shampoo on time. Then I received a perfect upsweep bun that has lasted for weeks. There is a neighborhood vibe along with the downtown quality. It's a winner!“

“Denise has cut my crazy head of hair many times. I always come out lookin good. And the place is nice, comfy, good folks, her lil dog may be there too“

“Prez did an amazing job of cutting my naturally curly hair. I've had so many experiences of hairdressers botching my hair that I'm always apprehensive to try someone new. Prez took time to consult with me before the cut. She also gave valuable tips for styling my hair. She is an absolute expert and I would recommend her highly!!!“

“Elaine (I think that’s her name) operates by herself and operates very efficiently. Very quick with her scissors. Got a 3in trim for long hair at $18. My family all got haircuts. It was nice chatting with her in Chinese. Very kind.

Would totally recommend. I feel like not enough people know abt this place. I’m thinking abt going back for a dye. ?“

“Diane is incredibly talented with hair. I came with a messy bun, and no maintenance for my curly hair and trusted her with her direction. I left with a perfect haircut, great conversation, and an easy hair routine with suggested products and techniques. I have since washed my hair for the first time since Diane styled it (which is the true testament to a haircut) and it still has great volume, dimensions, framing and layers. I've had expensive deva cuts that don't come close to the magic Diane did! Thank you!!!! I am a returning customer from now on.“

“I’m so pleased I found Chiha! Ever since I moved to Northern California in 2020, I’ve been looking for a perfect hair stylist. I think my journey is finally over.Not only did she color/style my hair nicely but also she cut my hair to last stylish for a very long time (shooting for 4 - 6 months without getting another haircut)! Thanks Chiha!Services: Shampoo & conditioning“

“I had an exceptional experience at the Total Package Salon. Gina is truly talented and delivered exactly what I wanted after I showed her a picture. The salon is located in a charming area and has an airy atmosphere with plenty of natural light. The music was bomb as well, and really added to the overall experience. If you're looking for a new hairstylist, I highly recommend Gina. She is super sweet! She won't disappoint“

“Went to Tresca for the first time several months ago and it was a good experience. She was able to replicate the image I showed her of reference pictures with a little adjustment based on what we thought would look best. Got a short shaggy cut that would grow out into a mullet with shaved sides. The haircut made me feel very confident and it is now a go-to haircut of mine. I was nervous paying with cash so I calculated the tip wrong in my head so I tipped too little and I felt bad :( I did not realize until afterwards.“

“Yesenia, is AMAZING!!!! I believe she books by Appointment only. Cuts your hair EXACTLY as "You Wish-Ask For-Describe to her"! She, above ALL ELSE, IS AN ‼‼“

“I have been a repeat customer for about ~3 years. Tsomuka is an artist and a talented professional. I walk in with an idea, maybe a sample picture and she interprets it very well. A perfect location for transformational looks as well as maintenance cuts.“

“Ive followed Angel and so glad I found her here ! Ive gotten my hair done twice this year at Alchemy and it's been nothing but great ! I messaged Angel couple weeks ago with balayage idea and she nailed it this past Saturday! Now let me say just spending a good chunk of time there was THERAPEUTIC! I kept laughing because Margaret is hilarious. I told her I should just come here then seeing my therapist LOL . Cant wait to go back in fall because my girl Angel will kill it once again !“

“My partner has been getting his locs cared for with love here for a couple of years and we are both very happy. His hair looks great and is very healthy. Akiya is a gifted stylist who really treats her customers with care.“

“The best hair dresser in the region, they got an authenthic style and the best vibes! Eric has been my hair dresser for a few years now, never dissapoint!“

“Chelsea does a really high quality hair cut, and does it with great service- from conversation, to scalp massage during hair wash, to careful styling iteration with feedback that she actually remembers between appointments, to the straight-razor neck/ear shave. Her new space at Marquee Salon is chic in it's minimalism with sizable mirrors. Booking has always been easy. The only drawback for me has been the price matching the quality (was about $75 for the slightly longer time mens cut + wash + scalp massage, without beard trimming). That said, it's good value and the quality stands for itself.“

“I absolutely love Joy Beauty & Eyelash! I'm literally obsessed with my lashes. I've lived in three different cities and Joy Beauty has been my all time favorite place for individual lash extensions. I love natural/classic lash looks and Feven (the owner) nails that look for me every visit. She really listens to what you want and also asks if you're satisfied, which I really appreciate. I love that my friends and family can't even tell that I'm wearing extensions! Also, Feven is so sweet and delightful to be around - I highly recommend her business!Service: Eyelash extensions“
