“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“

“Nick serving Fades like nobody’s business. Boy can run circles on the typical high end salons. Feeling fresh and fly thanks to Nick. Easy to schedule and location is accessible driving or public transport.“

“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!!“

“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 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!“

“Wonderful service and treatment from Wendy. Very friendly staff and overall great experience. Such beautiful results!“

“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 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.“

“I have a blond highlight à la Bride of Frankenstein that Christina keeps in tip top shape! She gives me the cutest cuts: Blunt bob, straightened blob, shear cut short bob, wavy bob. She is amazing and has the best advice!! I started my own business with her help and it’s thriving just like my stylish hair. Love her, she’s a keeper!“

“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’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 :)“

“I live in el Cerrito and I found this place for men eyebrow and visit here the service was great unika is big asset for the pari eye brow the way she works is amazing and perfect!!thank you so much for your great service!!“

“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!!!!!!“

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

“Excellent haircut and outstanding service. She took the time to show me a reference on the wall to confirm the exact length I wanted, which I really appreciated. I’m extremely satisfied with the result. The next time I’m in Oakland, I will definitely return to Mani’s for another haircut.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ritu and Sita are the best! Excellent prices and service. I’ve been coming here for years for eyebrow threading and highly recommend. I recently got a facial from Sita and it was so relaxing.“

“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!“

“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 love this place, it's my work home.. Business name: Barefaced Beauty Studio. Come see me for a spa treatment.“
