About Violet Fury
Violet Fury is a small, elegant hair studio in Oakland, born from the necessity for a safe working environment. It is a cute, intimate gem located in a shipping container annex. The studio is home to stylists with vast experience, creativity, and attention to detail. One stylist is celebrated as the absolute best colorist and a true color queen, with skills far above others. Clients report receiving gorgeous, natural-but-better color and stunning highlights, with perfect results even when correcting damage from other salons. The advice given is always solid and reliable. The haircuts are also exceptional, with clients repeatedly feeling each new style is their favorite ever. The overall experience leaves clients thrilled and with a spring in their step. The studio itself is super cool and chill, with an on-point style. It carries great, cool hair products not seen anywhere else. The location is also appreciated for its proximity to a coffee shop downstairs. Despite distance, clients cannot imagine going anywhere else for such transformative and gorgeous hair.
Jodi is the COLOR QUEEN. Full stop. I've had my hair colored by her since 2010 (off and on because I don't live in the bay anymore) and dang... her color skills are way above everyone else I've gone to colorists all over the country and in Europe. Right now I'm doing this copper red thing, and had my color totally out of wack and over bleached by someone else. Jodi saved me and totally zeroed in on EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED the first time. She is super cool and chill too. Her style is on point. Violet Fury is the cutest lil salon and I love having a coffee before my appointment at the place downstairs. What a gem! Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Jodi. Also-- she has cool products I've never seen anywhere else.
How have I been going here so long and haven't reviewed it?!? I found Jodi at the start of the pandemic when salons were closing. My previous stylist had moved on and I heard through the grapevine that Jodi was taking clients. She worked at the same salon and I always thought she had the cutest style!! I was stoked to see what she could do- I knew she'd be great cause I was always inspired when I saw everyone's gorgeous hair transformations! So, despite being across the bridge from me, I couldn't IMAGINE going anywhere else. She gives me a gorgeous, natural-but-better head of highlights-- and nobody believes me when I tell them I dye my hair!!! I always leave with a spring in my step (and a handful of products cause she carries such great stuff!!). I'm so glad I found Jodi!!
Jodi is the best colorist there is. I'm always thrilled with her solid advice, and the results. I've also gotten several haircuts with Jay, and each haircut she gives me (and I have requested a variety of styles), I think "no THIS is my favorite haircut I've ever had."Services: Haircut
