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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best haircut I've ever had- my boyfriend (who literally never notices my haircuts) has literally complimented me 5 times! Thanks Eric- truly love my new cut ???“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Christian has been taking care of my locks for almost 8 years now, and I couldn’t be happier!! His skills are insane, and the conversation are top tier. I always look forward to this appointment,“

“I needed to be “re-educated“ for both day-to-day and stage makeup. So, I found Christina. She taught me some mad skills that completely overhauled my look AND used most all of the various products I already owned. Bonus: She also lined up nutritional suggestions & daily rituals to improve my skin from the inside out. Two hour session a worthwhile investment.“

“I’m absolutely in love with my hair highlights! The color turned out beautifully—soft, natural, and perfectly blended. It adds so much dimension and brightness without feeling overdone. 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 ✨“

“This is probably the best haircut I’ve received in years! The service while I got my haircut was top tier and if you’re looking for a fresh cut, you’ve definitely found the place. 10/10 recommend!“

“OMG best service ever!! Owner went above and BEYOND to accommodate me on such A short notice :) so professional/ very nice & RELIABLE! Dulce did my pony tail braid she slay the braids/baby hairs I love it so much !!this beauty salon is a one stop shop she just gained another loyal customer with me service 10/10 :) thank you ladies so much see you soon.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Li was very friendly and not only did my haircut very well, but also helped me figure out which styles suit me (I had brought in a couple of inspiration photos and couldn't decide which was best). She also gave me advice on styling and hair care that was super helpful.“

“Daniel gives some of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. He’s also just a genuinely kind soul who makes every appointment a great experience. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Alex is so talented and meticulous with her coloring! I went to her for the first time and she put so much work and care into giving me a beautiful lived-in blonde, including adjusting the tone a few days later when I wanted a slight change. There is so much dimension to the color and I’m really impressed and pleased with the result!“

“Ali was wonderful. He listened to everything I wanted and delivered. I love my haircut and will be going back again!“

“I got a great haircut from Avery! I came to my appointment with a clear sense of what I wanted and a complete inability to effectively describe it, and Avery was able to make it happen. Their prices are super reasonable and we ended up having extra time so they gave me a wash and style at the end of my cut.The space itself is sort of whatever to me, but Avery did a great job giving me a look that worked with my hair texture and the aesthetic I was hoping for, and one that requires, as I want, very little to be done to it in the morning. Would definitely go back next time I am in need of a haircut in Oakland, and have convinced a few of my local friends to try them out!“

“Shoutout to Melissa, who has taken care of my haircuts since I moved to the city. She's been highly knowledgeable, friendly, and creative with the cuts she's given me over the past year, and I have never been dissatisfied. The shop is very clean. Also, the stylists and front desk employees are very friendly. It's a shame I'll need to find a new barbershop once I move out of the city, but I'm glad I could patronize this Public Barber location during my time there.“

“I have always had an amazing experience at Pony. Both Pamela and Misty are exceptional hair stylists, super kind and understanding and I have always walked out with a beautiful cut. Everyone who works there is sweet and cool. Cannot recommend more.“

“I always get the best cuts here. I stopped going to other barbwrs after I found this place last year“
