Hair Stylists near Albany

“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!“

“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!“

“Got my first professional haircut in 13 years with Keely, and had a fantastic time. Got some advice on hair care and styling, got a killer cut. Highly recommend!“

“Maritza is the absolute best. Her color work is impeccable. She listens and provides excellent advice and is so knowledgeable and easy going. A lot of salons in the bay area have a distinct mean girl energy and there is none of that here. Just good vibes and good work. I live in Los Gatos and found Maritza through a lot of research and there is zero hesitation to travel all the way to Berkeley to see her. If you live around Berkeley and need color, or extensions, or good hair, just go.“

“I had a standout service with Sage today. I have been getting my undercut done here whenever I've been in town over the past couple of years. Sage refined my shape and trimmed my curly crown and it was a restorative experience after a not so great one.“

“Got my Brazilian blowout here and it was amazing, a much better experience than I’d had in the past. Hair was so much easier to maintain after.

Update: got my hair done by Vanessa while Marlon was out of town and it turned out great!“

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

“BEST HAIR SALON PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO and i’ve been to a LOT of places in the bay. avery gave me exactly what i wanted!“

“As a planner, Rebecca at ShineForth is an absolute joy to work with. She is kind, professional, accommodating and more than willing to work with you to make sure your client feels taken care of, beyond expectations. She worked with our bride to ensure she was happy with her hair and makeup well in advance of her wedding day so that come the day of it was the last thing she had to worry about. Instead of this being a stress point, as it is at times, the hair and makeup portion of the evening became the time for our bride to relax, breathe and reset before walking down the aisle. I cannot recommend her enough!“

“I got the most amazing haircut from Raul today. I’m obsessed! ? Raul took time to listen to what I was looking for, assess my hair, and come up with a plan we both felt good about. And the results blew me away! He even gave me a ton of great hair care and styling tips. Raul is a master and a lovely person. Such a fabulous experience!“

“Atmosphere was chill! Cienna was very collaborative during the process( I was trying a new hair length) and made sure I liked the direction of the hair styles the entire process. Great conversation too- even though I’m awkward:) reasonably priced too!“

“What a special and beautiful place. I received the best hair cut of my life. I’ve been looking for a salon for about 2 years now. I found this place via recs on Reddit after (too much) research and decided to take a gamble. The attention to detail, knowledge, and craft that Joseph provides is priceless. And what a sweetheart he is! 10/10 recommend.“

“I went in for hair extensions removal and reapplication, and Fidel was amazing throughout the whole process. He not only did a flawless job with the extensions but also treated my hair with a great mask that left it feeling so soft and healthy. To finish, he gave me a fantastic styling that I absolutely loved. Fidel is professional, attentive, and really talented—I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend him!“

“I just wanted to send you the biggest thank you. ❤ Looking back on my wedding day, I keep thinking about how incredibly special and beautiful you made me feel. You created exactly what I had envisioned while making me feel completely like myself, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

Beyond your amazing talent, I can’t thank you enough for your warm, nurturing energy. You brought such a sense of calm and joy, and the whole process felt so easy, seamless, and fun. It was such a gift to have someone who made me feel so cared for during such an emotional and exciting day.

Thank you for helping me feel my absolute best and for being such a wonderful part of one of the most meaningful days of my life. I’ll always remember how beautiful you made me feel, inside and out. I’m so grateful for you! 💕“

Every time the light hits it, you can see all the subtle tones come through, and it just feels fresh and effortless.

When I got out, I immediately got compliments from some ladies! I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out ✨“

She took the time to check for me, sent me a photo of what she found, called me back, and even directed me to a local supply store that had what I needed. Excellent customer service and genuinely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to help me!“

“I moved to San Francisco about a year ago and was genuinely nervous about finding a new barber I could trust. Luckily, I found Vu—and I haven’t let anyone else touch my hair since. He’s not only incredibly skilled at what he does, but also one of the most personable and kind professionals I’ve met in the city.

The shop is always clean, welcoming, and we always have good and fun chats!

Highly recommend Vu to anyone looking for a top-tier barber in SF!“

“My appointments with Narissa have always been very pleasant and have received excellent coloring jobs. She is an artist.“

“I met Mena through chance in 2014 when someone else I had booked a cut with flaked out and never showed up for our appointment. Mena was visiting that studio for the day and had an opening at that time and am I ever glad she did!

Since then I’ve followed her around the city while she worked out of different venues over the years and love that she’s finally opened her own studio.

Over the years I’ve done short cuts, longer cuts, and tons of variations in between. Every cut grows out amazing and I usually go back every 6-8 weeks to get freshened up. If you’re looking for a proper men’s hair cut by a stylist who gets hair shapes and styles then you don’t want to sleep on Mena!“

“I feel so lucky to have found Mr. Alexander. He is a true artist and always knows exactly how to bring my vision to life. Every time I leave, my hair looks voluminous, healthy, and smells amazing. The salon itself is clean, beautiful, and such a pleasurable place to visit. I genuinely look forward to every appointment.“

“Just got my hair colored here, Wendi is great. Calm environment with artsy rustic decor. Would love to come back for haircut and facial. A gem located in the Lower Haight/Castro neighborhood. Wendi is super sweet and does a thorough and thoughtful job, A+. Bonus when you exit the salon there are excellent restaurant options and a cute home decor/gift shop surrounding.“

“I’ve been going to Rosa regularly for my haircuts (short-mid length + layers) for a few years now and she always gets it right. She’s always very attentive and knowledgeable, so when I decided to dye my hair recently I knew I had to book w/ her. Ghost roots + haircut both done by her, and I genuinely could not be happier with the results ?“
