Best Beauty Salons In Albany

“This guy is legitimately a good barber. He can’t do fancy fades or anything but those are overrated anyway and he’ll do a good job with the shape and layering. If you need a quick haircut, this is the place to go.“

“I had a wonderful first time experience, as I’m new to California and I will be coming back. Karen has a beautiful clean shop. My appointment was seamless and very efficient, I was very comfortable and my braider was kind and did a phenomenal job on my hair. The parts are perfect and braids are neat and all for a great price! I got knotless French curl braids, shoulder length in the color Ash latte blonde. I bought my hair and Karen was kind enough to recommend an amazing beauty supply store in Oakland.“

“Really skilled, my eyebrows always look amazing coming out of my sessions. She is quick, really kind and friendly! She has become my go-to eyebrow lady and the price is reasonable! Quality for a good price, definitely check out!“

“I've gone to R&R for a few years now with long hair & I've had a few cuts with Jessica. She took good care of my hair when it was long & made it beautiful, but last week I did a big change--cut off about 8-10 inches into a layered bob. I showed her the photo of what I wanted and she nailed it! I love my new cut soooo much!“

“Been coming here since I was little. The women who run the place are very kind, take direction well, and have a good sense of style.

It's a cute store right off Solano. They always have a tub of candy on the counter for the kids (and me). It's wheelchair accessible from the sidewalk, but the door is a bit narrow.“

“Asha is literally the best! I went to her for years, and then I moved across the country. Pleasant, amazing convo and very attentive. Every visit was great. I appreciate her and her expertise very much. I wish I didn’t live so far!“

“I recently moved to the area from Maui, where I had a trusted stylist for many years. It was a hard change…I miss maui as well 😂. So when I moved to the Bay Area I began looking around for a new stylist. I lucked out finding Terri. She asked all sorts of questions about what I was looking for. We browsed some photos of guys with curly hair like mine and decided on a plan. And she executed. I love my cut. I have been walking around beaming all day. Thanks Terri“

“10/10 recommend, went in for a walk in for a cut and walked out with exactly what I wanted!“

“Ryan was excellent. Definitely a go-to for a great men's haircut in the East Bay.“

“honestly i was a little nervous walking in because i had a bad experience somewhere else recently but the ladies here were just so nice from the start. they really listened to what i wanted and even suggested a shape i hadn't thought of and it turned out so good. my nails came out perfect and they didnt rush me at all which i really appreciated since im always anxious about that. the color I picked looked way better in person than on the little sample strip. i been getting compliments all week and i keep catching myself looking at my hands. definitely coming back here next time i need a fill or a shape change its just a chill spot.“

“As Lana was moving from Heads Up Salon across the street to Ixia, I immediately followed her. She is great, fast and consistent - all much appreciated and makes it an easy choice.“

“Nina has been cutting my hair since 1986. She spends a lot of time and is very careful and diligent. I highly recommend her.“

“Used to go there and get my hair done, then I decided to re-lock my hair and my stylist (Dorothy) didn't do locks/dreads. They also do nails in there“

“I’ve been going for 15 years, always does a good job. A couple weeks ago i trusted them to get my wedding haircut and so many people complimented my cut. Personally i ask for Cathy because i don’t typically chit chat and she is gentle and always does a great job.“
