Hair Stylists in Alameda

“Katie is a great stylist and artist! She is friendly, skillful, and knowledgeable. She listens well and gave great recommendations.“

“Consuelo is incredibly skilled at her craft! I was preparing for my wedding day and after a miserable makeup trial with someone else, stumbling upon Consuelo's portfolio made me hopeful. Despite the short notice, she graciously squeezed me into her schedule and worked her magic. She helped me look and feel my best for my wedding day. On top of that, she's not just talented; she's also super friendly, totally professional, and actually listens to what you want. Consuelo is awesome, and if you want someone who'll make you feel gorgeous on your big day, please contact her -- TODAY! I highly recommend her!“

“Living near the Bay has ramped up my hair curl more than it ever used to, but I honestly didn’t know how to work with it. I went into this Alameda salon for a simple trim focused on my natural texture, and it ended up feeling like real self-care rather than just a haircut. Jennifer and her daughter Maya (who does the shampooing and “noodling”) were both calm, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. They used clean, low-tox products that actually worked with my curls—no heaviness, no damage, just soft, bouncy definition that still felt like my hair. They also took the time to explain what they were doing and shared practical at-home tips, including a non-wash-day refresher routine that feels doable. The space itself is cozy and thoughtful—fresh tea, flavored water, little candies up front—and there’s even a sweet chihuahua mix (Nina) who’ll curl up in your lap if you’re open to it. It felt unhurried and genuinely caring. I only wish I could budget getting my hair washed and “noodled” more often. If you’re in the East Bay and have natural curls—or you’re just looking for low-tox products that actually perform—this place is a quiet little gem.“

“I used to go to a traditional barbershop but then I grew my hair out during the pandemic. Jenene helped me look good with longer hair and now every time I get a fresh cut by her I get compliments from my friends and family. The experience of getting a haircut from Jenene is also fun.“

“I transitioned from long to short hair and Therese really helped me with the transition! I am still getting compliments on my haircut and it’s been a few months! No regrets!“
