Hair Stylists near San Lorenzo

“I had a lovely experience at this small, welcoming salon.

My goal was for someone to wash out a weekly pre-wash oil treatment that I had done at home and to treat myself.

I got a simple wash and blow dry, which was $35 since I brought my own products. I had originally called ahead and was quoted $40 for a blow dry, as my hair is about elbow-length.

I really appreciated that they were happy to use my own naturally based products, as I’m very particular about what I use on my hair. I brought my scalp scrub, shampoo, masque, conditioner, and a peptide-based leave-in with heat protection.

I didn’t have an appointment since I wasn’t sure what time I could come, but I walked in and they were able to accommodate me within about 20 minutes after other clients were finished getting their haircuts.

Good bilingual salon with Spanish-speaking staff. They were welcoming and friendly.

Overall, a great quick and convenient option. I would definitely come back again for a wash and blow dry.“

“Adolina is amazing! This is the second time I have been to her and I got the same color and cut both times. She is very nice and really good at what she does! Very happy and will be going back. Both Adolina and her sister are super friendly.

Requested style: Hair dyed one color, with long layers and face frame.

Hair type: Long, waist length, fine hair.“

“I’ve been going to Fatima for over a year now and I am always overly satisfied. She is very fast and gentle I would definitely recommend her!“

“love Love LOVE Charlotte and her talented daughter toothey tag teamed my hair and it came out better than I expected!“

“The hairstyles on the website look different from the real life’s because they have great hairstyles and last very long when I booked for 2 layers it was better than the picture’s and they also can book u in fast for emergencies“

“I can no longer come but my hair looks so good! I loved my hair and she let me use the charger to change my Nintendo switch and tablet:) Nice Christian music too and the dryer looked like an egg?she let me play Roblox Minecraft and Animal crossing while doing my hair.❤❤“

“Living near the Bay has ramped up my hair curl more than it ever used to, but I honestly didn’t know how to work with it. I went into this Alameda salon for a simple trim focused on my natural texture, and it ended up feeling like real self-care rather than just a haircut. Jennifer and her daughter Maya (who does the shampooing and “noodling”) were both calm, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. They used clean, low-tox products that actually worked with my curls—no heaviness, no damage, just soft, bouncy definition that still felt like my hair. They also took the time to explain what they were doing and shared practical at-home tips, including a non-wash-day refresher routine that feels doable. The space itself is cozy and thoughtful—fresh tea, flavored water, little candies up front—and there’s even a sweet chihuahua mix (Nina) who’ll curl up in your lap if you’re open to it. It felt unhurried and genuinely caring. I only wish I could budget getting my hair washed and “noodled” more often. If you’re in the East Bay and have natural curls—or you’re just looking for low-tox products that actually perform—this place is a quiet little gem.“

“My first time at MadHouse - great experience! Carmen, my amazing hairdresser is such a lovely person. The salon ambience is artistic, beautiful, and peaceful. Very happy with the outcome, will return again.“

“I've been going to Akiya for about 9 years now. Despite anyone else that we have tried, my son and I still love coming back to her. She takes the best care of our hair and does the best job in styling after a retwist. She has an amazing spirit, highly professional mannerisms, and is super friendly and easy to work with. She is always on time, and it's worth every penny going to her.“

“She did an amazing job I asked for silk press and wash and she delivered! She left my hair so smooth and silky and did a trim leaving my length AMAZING! Definitely go and support her and her craft, overall amazing hairstylist!“

“I've been maintaining my Locket hair extensions with Destiny for a year now. She's quick and very reasonably priced. The thing that I love about her is that she truly cares about her clients. She notices when I trim, tone, and highlight my hair even when the people I live with don't. This trait really shined when I was replacing my hair extensions since they were worn out. I was debating if I should order the preblended hair packs or a brown and a platinum blonde pack. She suggested to just order the brown and the platinum blonde because the preblended was unpredictable and she knew I liked to color my hair. When I saw the packs in person, I was really regretting my choice. I thought no way can this platinum blonde blend with my hair. This was until she gave me the mirror to see the progress, and I was pleasantly surprised. She worked her magic as a blending/extension specialist and made it work! Her placement was just chef's The end result is what I've been wanting for years, but didn't know how. Love Destiny's work and 100% would recommend for any hair needs!“

“So glad to have found a shop where prices are set and you get what you pay for. Kind staff, thoughtful and patient; they insure that you get exactly what you ask for and for what you pay for. I got larger braids this time, I’m usually minimicro centric but went for the $400 sizing for synthetics. Happy with my outcome. Thanks Yassa and thanks TJ! Will be retuning again and again. 1 client at a time-I love it!“

“Consuelo is incredibly skilled at her craft! I was preparing for my wedding day and after a miserable makeup trial with someone else, stumbling upon Consuelo's portfolio made me hopeful. Despite the short notice, she graciously squeezed me into her schedule and worked her magic. She helped me look and feel my best for my wedding day. On top of that, she's not just talented; she's also super friendly, totally professional, and actually listens to what you want. Consuelo is awesome, and if you want someone who'll make you feel gorgeous on your big day, please contact her -- TODAY! I highly recommend her!“

“I got a great haircut from Avery! I came to my appointment with a clear sense of what I wanted and a complete inability to effectively describe it, and Avery was able to make it happen. Their prices are super reasonable and we ended up having extra time so they gave me a wash and style at the end of my cut.The space itself is sort of whatever to me, but Avery did a great job giving me a look that worked with my hair texture and the aesthetic I was hoping for, and one that requires, as I want, very little to be done to it in the morning. Would definitely go back next time I am in need of a haircut in Oakland, and have convinced a few of my local friends to try them out!“

“I have been coming to Mercy’s Hairstylist for a couple of years, I was looking for a great stylist because I don’t want to change, and I am fortunate that I found Mercy. I love how she does my hair, I bring a picture of how I want it and she does it exactly. She takes the necessary time to do my hair, I don’t feel rushed like in other places. She is also very friendly and so is her staff.“

“Kayla did such a great job with my granddaughter. She got a trim and fairy highlights. My Granddaughter was nervous and antsy , but Kala was so good with her and she felt like a princess when we left. Thank you Kayla!“

“I was nervous at first finding someone to cut my curly hair but the haircut was amazing“

“I was met at the door and promptly given my shampoo on time. Then I received a perfect upsweep bun that has lasted for weeks. There is a neighborhood vibe along with the downtown quality. It's a winner!“

“Njeri and Vee did an amazing job on my cut and color! They made my experience fun and easy. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Best haircut I've ever had- my boyfriend (who literally never notices my haircuts) has literally complimented me 5 times! Thanks Eric- truly love my new cut ???“

“Abhishek did an amazing job with my haircut! He followed my instructions perfectly and gave me a super clean, precise cut. My hair looks healthy, even, and exactly how I wanted it. Highly recommend!“

“I had an amazing experience with Mikayla, she was very attentive and asked all the right question to figure out what I wanted especially since I wasn't 100% myself at first. I felt like my desires were met and she gave me a the hairstyle I feel happy and confident with. I can highly recommend her and will definitely be coming back!“

“Lupita was great. She gave me some tips about my hair. She made my hair have volume in it. I loved it. I recommend her.“

“I had a head spa for the first time and it was wonderful. Lynn is thoroughly able to do a scalp, head and facial treatment on a special bed with a sink at the end. The spa treatment includes the neck and shoulders getting a massage and even aromatherapy. It’s a wonderful experience. You’ll leave the salon revitalized. I highly recommend the head spa.“

“It was a wonderful experience. So relaxing and soothing. It is pretty affordable too and I liked the consultation and overall service !“

“The staff is professional. The shop is very clean. The appointments are very well booked; no delays.“
