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.“

“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.“

“Amazing experience! My hairstylist Maritza was professional friendly and really listened to what I wanted she took their time and paid attention to every detail and the haircut turned out even better than I expected I left feeling confident and refreshed
Highly recommend.“

“TLDR: Christy is a wonderful hair stylist and if you want a good short haircut, go to Christy!

I was lucky enough to find Christy back in 2019 when I was searching for a new hairdresser being new to the Bay Area, and she’s been my person since :). I am a short hair girly all the way, and Christy understands this so well, as a short hair girly herself! She advises on what works and may not work, taking into account your preferences. My hair always feels like me, but better, and she’s fast, careful, thorough, and so so so reasonable price-wise. Also when I had my hair styled for a wedding, the stylist and makeup artist complimented me on my bob! They said a good bob esp with Asian hair is hard and they said I have a good hairdresser, which I do hehe.“

“I had a haircut with Ryan, and it was phenomenal. Firstly, Ryan is a gentle and sweet person, making it easier to enjoy the haircutting experience. Secondly, the outcome of the hair style was beautiful. I loved the classic haircut which shows my natural curls. I give Ryan 5 stars plus more. I highly recommend him if you want both a nice person who is also very competent in haircut and styling, then book with Ryan.“

“Grace has been my hair stylist for the past three years and has always been a spectacular hair stylist. I would easily recommend Grace to anyone looking for a new hair stylist!“

“Rose is amazing. So kind and talented, and I just love going to her salon. The entire experience is great from start to finish, and she has really helped me with the health of my hair.“

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

“Got a great haircut from Dylan. He executed on exactly what I was looking for and was very personable. He is someone who clearly takes pride in what he does. I will be back again.“

“Great place to get my kid's haircut. They are quick and the haircuts always look great.“

“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’m from NYC and we’re tough customers. I was in town and booked without knowing the salon. Andrea was fabulous. Highly recommend.“

“Nina was awesome she did my nails exactly how I requested. Her customer service was thru the roof excellent and she took me in at the last minute on a Sunday first time here but not my last hard to find a good nail shop nowadays………“

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

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

“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 have been to this salon twice now and each time is an amazing experience. Kaitlyn is my number stylist and she is a hair dye expert. If I need my hair curled and loved there’s no one I would trust more. She’s a 10 out of 10. I will never go to Aveda again, Kaitlyn has great prices and above excellent skills. #1, the lady knows her stuff. I get compliments everywhere I go!“

“I will definitely be coming back. I usually do my own gel extensions at home, but I didn’t have my supplies this time. I wanted cute nails for my graduation photos, so I came to Pinkies. Gigi was super efficient and skilled, and she even gave some color recommendations when I had trouble deciding!“

“Great spot. Very reasonable prices, transparent about the amount cut off. Everything you’d hope for honestly.“

“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 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.“

“Paxton has been cutting my hair for 2+ years. We've gone through several hairstyles, lengths, and colors together. I've liked every one of them. The salon as a whole is great, too. Parking around the corner, right next to a cafe...

I strongly recommend this Salon, and especially Paxton. They know how to work with wavy dark hair on men.“

“I’m so glad to have come across this place—I recently moved to the area and was pleased to find an affordable hair salon. The service was great and so efficient! She cut off the perfect amount and added some long layer — my hair is looking so healthy!

Found my go to spot :)“

“This is the second time I’ve gotten my hair cut by James and he is truly incredible and so kind!! I have a lot of hair, and he really takes his time and is never in a rush. I’ve shown him pictures of wolf cuts and bangs and the cut always ends up exactly like what I’m looking for! So nice to chat with too. And super affordable. Seriously can’t recommend him enough! :)

Put the cut I got and what it looked like before (he also cut my hair in the longer look) for some pics!“

“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.“
