Best Hair Salons In Berkeley

“Happy and Cheerful Kellianne does the very best haircut and styling on my frizzy and curly hair. The curls as she cuts become nice waves. The texture is smooth. Kellianne is a magician with hair. She is also a great conversationalist and makes the haircut experience fun and relaxing. I recommend 6 stars.“

“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!“

“Great hair highlights experience! Rose is a lovely lady who enjoys what she does?❤️“

“Keana is beyond amazing! Easy to schedule with, extremely responsive, listened, and delivered superior results. My daughter loves the braids and I love that they still look good after 4 weeks! Keana is our go-to braider from now on I highly recommend her!

“I have had the best experience with Lexi! My extensions are placed with love and attention, with no pulling or tugging, as I have experienced. My highlights are perfect. I always leave happy. Lexi knows precisely what I like. All I have to say is, "Do whatever you think will look best." In addition, the salon is beautifully decorated, sunny, and modern. I always look forward to my visits.“

“I had my hair done by Maritza and I honestly think she's the best hair stylist I've ever had. She didn't just do an amazing job on my hair -- she made the whole experience feel special. She explained everything she was doing, shared tips and information, and checked in with me the entire time. She also made me feel so comfortable, offered me drinks, and created such a welcoming vibe. You can tell she really cares about her clients and loves what she does. Highly, highly recommend her. If you're looking for someone who listens, follows up, and actually delivers exactly what you want, go see Maritza!“

“I recently moved to the Bay area, and started going to Hair by Glynis after being recommended by a young woman whose haircut I really liked. She gave me Glynis’s card, I called and was given an appointment within the week for consultation. The shop is conveniently located, and the interior bright and comfortable. Glynis is lovely, welcoming, and very easy to talk to. She took the time to examine my hair type, ask me about prior haircuts (how often? what styles?), my likes and dislikes (bangs, close edging). My first cut was a short pixie cut which I absolutely loved! It was easy to manage and very flattering! Recently I decided to go shorter, and really love this one! I’ve had the opportunity to see her do other beautiful styles while in the shop. She is very talented and professional. I highly recommend Hair by Glynis to anyone looking to get beautiful styling, in comfortable surroundings, performed by a pleasant and accomplished stylist.“

“Dale is excellent with color. He's working with me to integrate my gray into my color. Plus he's fun! He shares amazing stories when I'm in the chair.“

“I just got a killer haircut here, and great conversation, and I will be back!!
Oh, and it's very affordable.“

“I tried out Wood Salon for the first time and booked with Annika! The experience was amazing, 10/10 stylist and consultation. :)“

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

“I've been going to J. Brooker Studio since 2019 and love it, especially Nishan! Nishan is not only an amazing hair stylist, she's a craftsman!! For the bob loving gals out there, Nishan is your girl! J. Brooker is an amazing space but Nishan recently moved to Hey Pretty Hair Studio (thank goodness only a few doors down)! If you are looking for a fabulous and kind hair stylist who hands down gives the best precision bob you can ask for, Nishan is your person. I live on the Peninsula but it's worth the travel to come see her. Not only is Nishan's haircuts the best, she listens to what you want, recommends what's good for your face/frame and the best part is her cuts grows out amazingly. I look forward to seeing Nishan in her new space. Make an appointment on her new website: nishancotehair.com! You will not regret it.“

“Love my hair! Jonah June is brilliant. She has been cutting my hair for a few years and I get complements on how my hair looks. This time she out did herself and leaving the Salon someone yelled "great haircut". THANK YOU Darling Electric and Jonah June.“

“I've been getting my hair cut by Michelle for what must be 2 decades. She's an absolute artist, a sculptor of hair--plus an amazing person. My highest recommendation, 5 stars not enough...“

“I don't usually write reviews, but this one is long overdue. Redd is exceptional, both for her skills and for who she is as a person! She has been cutting, coloring and styling my hair for years, and now cuts my daughter and son's hair as well. After a visit to her salon, I often get asked who cuts my hair or who colors my hair. She is very selective about the products she uses, so you can trust that they are safe, including the straightening/relaxing treatment she uses. She is genuine and caring. You should definitely go see Redd. Once you do, you won't go to anyone else.“

“I've seen almost everyone at this salon for many years (long before the original cohort left the now-defunct Festoon Salon), and they are all excellent and great with cut and color. The atmosphere at the salon is upbeat and warm without feeling snooty. I have seen Julia and Kim for ages, but I would see anyone at Lola. Highly recommend!“

“I just got my hair done last night and I must tell you that I am extremely OVERJOYED and AMAZED by the EXCELLENT work that was done on my hair by Fatu and by the assistance of her daughter Thelma! Fatu was KIND, PATIENT, and PROFESSIONAL in a very down to earth way! I felt comfortable the moment I walked into the shop. I have never gotten my hair braided before with extensions so I was PRAYING that I picked the RIGHT shop and GOD answered my prayers! Fatu worked on my hair for 6 hours and over the course of that time her daughter Thelma (who is also very talented) assisted her. She too was very pleasant! Fatu was also VERY understanding of any reservations I might have had being as it was my first time getting my hair professionally braided.The price was VERY reasonable and EVERYONE that I saw in that shop yesterday left with their hair looking MAGNIFICENT!I came late afternoon so I presume these people had come much earlier. Seeing the "finished work" reinforced my "good vibe".I can TRULY say to ANYONE that if you want your hair done by PROFESSIONALS that don't have the INFLATED prices and the PHONY BALONEY attitude then you need to come here! It was an AWESOME experience and they now have a customer for life. Sincerely, Mary“

“Shannon does a fantastic job with hair color and cuts. Color is long lasting and she keeps my hair super healthy.“

“I found this place by chance, and I've been going there for over a year. I've never been happier with my haircuts. Ly is a great lady—efficient, skilled, and offers incredibly affordable prices.“

“Moonshadow has always been a great salon. We love Katerina! All the stylists are solid.“

“Amazing people!!! I’m sure some of the children they deal with have more patience than the parents!! Definitely give them a try.“

“Sierra was able to accommodate my hair needs with precision. I wanted a low-maintenance shag haircut that tamps down my frizz and is choppily textured. She delivered in spades and even recommended products and styling techniques to help with frizz. Will be a returning client!“

“Antoinette did an amazing job on my hair. I have short hair and it's hard to get right, it's super fine so you can see every detail, and I came in unsure but also with super tricky photos to work with. She brought so much warmth to the whole process and didn't judge me for dyeing my own hair and cutting my own bangs. And she nailed the cut, I love it so much. thank you Antoinette!“

“A wonderful, relaxed space to enjoy excellent haircuts and styling. Emily is the best!“

“What a lovely local salon. The space is small and not very fancy, but my haircuts and highlights are amazing. Always feel like a million bucks when I leave.“
