“Love Mark! He is my go to, great for young men Asian hairstyles, also does male perms extremely well. Would highly highly recommend great prices too! also funny guy haha“

“Loved my cut. Stylist actually listened and didn’t do “whatever they wanted instead.” That alone deserves five stars.“

“I found Tiana because I was in desperate need of a trim and let me tell you something. She was so nice and accommodating. I have a tender head and I didn’t feel a thing. I almost fell asleep twice in the chair. Thank you SO much for the cut and silk press. I will be back!“

“I loved my experience with Gloria! I was running a little behind, she accommodated me and was very sweet about it. The facial was amazing! She was so thorough and I left feeling so glowy. I travel all over and I can tell she really knew what she was doing. Love when I can go makeup free!“

“The best I always go to her she always does an amazing job! There really nice and service is al says on point“

“Thank you for taking care of my eyebrows every time I come in. Thank you for existing. My eyebrows, however thin and few, are always in need of your delicate touch and threading. I always walk out satisfied. And there's always a great customer service! Always!“

“10 out of 10 Miguel and staff are always nice and they are great at what they do. I recommend ?“

“I’ve been coming to this salon for over 10 years, and I truly can’t say enough good things about it. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional it always feels like visiting family. The service is consistently top-notch, whether it’s a simple haircut or something more involved. They really take the time to listen to what you want and make sure you leave happy every single time.

The salon is always clean, comfortable, and well-run, which makes every visit relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and genuinely warm salon experience. It’s rare to find a business that maintains such high standards year after year, and this one absolutely does.“

“Washington worked magic with my hair. He made it look cute without doing anything by dry cutting it. Also more affordable than most salons for the same, if not better, quality.“

“Skill and talent...results don't lie. He's very good at what he does. You will not be disappointed.“

“Mia is absolutely a color whisperer!!!! I didn't know what to do w/my sort of graying hair....her suggestions and the final solution were nothing short of stunning!!!!!!“

“I’ve been going to Lori at head trips for about 3 years now and she helped me restart my loc journey. She’s super sweet, VERY very quick, and does a great job. I highly recommend giving her a visit :)“

“Helen is the best! She pays attention to the shape of your brow and wakes sure to enhance its natural shape. I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable threader in the area!“

“I had a haircut with Krista and she was amazing!! She asked all the right questions and listened to what I wanted and my concerns. My hair is fine and we took it from long with grown out bangs to about collar bone length with a new-to-me style of bangs that I loved. I already have my bang trim and next cut appointments booked.“

“People need to know this best little secret. I am not looking for anyone else to do my hair. The best person in the world! Very professional and kind. I am so grateful to have had my sister locks installed by Tae as she is the Best person in the world. Please don’t waste your time looking elsewhere. Call her and get the best experience in your life. I am truly thankful Tae. Keep up the good work. If you want quality work please call Tae.“

“My 12 year old daughter has been seeing Frodonda for about 2 years now. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my baby... She washes and maintains her locs. She's such a lovely and sweet lady. I highly recommend her.“

“I've been going to Hana for the last 5 times or so. I've tried many lash places and there is no one like Hana. Her work is an art. I got my lashes done again today, and I just feel so beautiful, thanks for Hana. Oh, and Hana is just so sweet, funny, caring and thoughtful. She's not just a great lash artist, but great conversationalist that makes you feel beautiful inside and out after the session.“

“I come here all the time to get a full sewn-in from the multi-talented Dionna Richardson. She does braids, weaves, locks, flat-iron, color, literally EVERYTHING! All you have to do is show her a pic of what you want and she's got you! If you are in a time constraint no worries, you will be in and out before you know it. The ambiance is very welcoming and professional. I highly recommend this place!“

“I walked in for a mani pedi after getting an IV drip down the street. Literally just googled for nail spas and this was the second place I checked.

My nail tech was easy to communicate with and even helped me decide on colors and style. I ended up doing a modified French with shades of green and blue which came out perfect (and turned out to be black light reactive which delighted my inner party kid lol).

I was impressed at how skillfully she painted the tips. She got it right the first time and didn’t need to go back with acetone to fix it like they often do. The whole thing was anxiety free and my nails/cuticles still look perfect after 2 weeks. Usually my cuticles are a hot mess within a day or two or I have to file them to straighten out sloppy work.

Even though there are over a dozen nail salons within walking distance to my house, I’ll be making the drive over to Montclair for this place!“

“I absolutely love Joy Beauty & Eyelash! I'm literally obsessed with my lashes. I've lived in three different cities and Joy Beauty has been my all time favorite place for individual lash extensions. I love natural/classic lash looks and Feven (the owner) nails that look for me every visit. She really listens to what you want and also asks if you're satisfied, which I really appreciate. I love that my friends and family can't even tell that I'm wearing extensions! Also, Feven is so sweet and delightful to be around - I highly recommend her business!Service: Eyelash extensions“

“Wow! I was told that Shawn and the folks at La Nana were great but Shawn far surpassed my lofty expectations (think princess here, folks). I had a last minute need and he came through for me. I needed him to be creative and to give me an appropriate arrangement for the space and the occasion and LaNana nailed it. The flowers are spectacular and are exactly perfect for what I needed. LaNana is now my Go To for the perfect floral accent with expert, outstanding service. Thank you, Shawn and LaNana!“

“Visiting from out of town, and am so glad I discovered Family Salon! Ms. Zhen was incredibly nice to give me a haircut on short notice today. She was very sweet, personable, and listened to the style I was describing for and certainly delivered! Ms. Zhen was very gentle and handled my hair with care, no hair pulls here! Her work is also meticulous, I felt comfortable knowing that she did not rush her work. Haircut and bang trim for me was beyond affordable. Tip generously! :) Happy to support such a quality small business! Will absolutely stop by again!!“

“Thank you for a wonderful haircut today, Mary! My son is around 20 months old, and the toy car that he could sit in during the haircut, the toys she had for him, and Mary's friendly temperament made all the difference. His haircut turned out beautifully. Mary's service is an asset for toddlers in the East Bay.“

“I had a Green Peel treatment at Beauty Island Spa, and by the fifth day, I could clearly see that my fine lines had faded and my pores appeared smaller.

The treatment cost $180, and my esthetician Shirley was incredibly professional. The entire experience made me feel safe, relaxed, and well taken care of.

The spa itself is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back for follow-up treatments!“

“Michelle is no longer working here and has opened her own salon called Glowli Health & Beauty on Piedmont Ave in Oakland. I am so glad I was able to find her because she has been my waxer for years.“
