“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 brought my daughters to Betty back in 2008/9 for prom and let me tell you , she is a miracle way maker! She did an absolutely beautiful job, used about 100 bobbi pins and my daughters hair stayed in place , in tact until the next day. Fast forward 20 years later, we went back to Betty to do my daughters hair for her wedding. Just like 20 years ago Betty did a fenominal job! I highly recommend Betty for it all, customer service and stylist! I have to find my daughter's recent hair done by Betty for her wedding. Stay tuned.“

“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’ve been getting deep cleaning facials here for the last few years. I see Gloria and she is so sweet and does an amazing and thorough job! After extractions my face still looks very bright and glowy and not red and irritated. I feel like the facials help my acne and complexion“

“Hana has been doing my lashes do a couple of years and she never disappoints! She asks questions about which kind of lashes are best for me. The application is easy and even relaxing! I tend to fall asleep! They look natural and stay in for a long time. I always get compliments! I highly recommend! Thank you!!“

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.

It’s rare to find a business that maintains such high standards year after year, and this one absolutely does.“

“Andrei C. cut my hard to cut curly hair with precision and flare. He was focused and clearly skilled at his craft. He’s kind and quiet but easy to talk with if when I initiated a conversation. Mostly we talked about how to care for my hair and how to style it myself when I went home. He had great ideas. He loves his profession. And it shows. I highly recommend him if you want to leave feeling beautiful.“

“The very best salon around! I always walk out feeling like a million bucks :)Services: Haircut“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!“

“Tina does a great job on accommodating my schedule.
My color and styling is always Amazing“

“Hidden gem in Oakland. Ken really knows how to layer hair. He doesn’t overdo it and leave you looking shaggy, nor does he underdo it and leave you with blunt ends. Everything is perfectly balanced.

My only minor complaint is that he blow-dried my hair pin straight to see the layers better instead of cutting it wet. I understand why he did it, but it does add some unnecessary heat damage to the hair.“

“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 :)“

“Loved my curly hair cut appointment with Bertha back in March, and will absolutely be going back!!“

“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.“

“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!“
