I wish that I could give Aurielle 100 Stars. This is truly how much she deserves a great review. I was on my way up to the Bay Area from LA. A loooooong, tiresome night and morning of crying (due to something that had happened)...and I felt I just needed to come up this way to see some of my closest family members. *Also, it is my nephew's graduation party today - Saturday. As I'm on my way up on this 6 hour drive, I thought to myself.....maybe I can get my hair done. That should make me feel better. Although being that is was Friday, I was sure I wouldn't find anyone. I call two shops that were booked for the next week. I then call Aurielle, who's voice was sweet and calming, just as I needed at the moment. I didn't need someone who sounded busy, irritated,and lastly-like they didn't want to do my hair. She explained to me that she had a dinner engagement to be at, but if I could get to her within the next 15-20 minutes, she could do it. I was about 40 minutes away from her, and I still needed to buy hair...... 5 minutes later, she calls me back to let me know she pushed back her uncle's dinner party and was going to be able to meet me at the Beauty Supply Warehouse not too far from her salon. ....She directed me to Hair Heaven, haha. From short to long to super long, I was intrigued with the many shades and colors-just like Bobo's in LA! After her being patient for about 30 minutes, we finally picked up 3 packs of Blonde and Brown 22" Bohyme straight hair. Off to her cute salon we went! Aurielle was so patient with me. Always asking if I'm okay, and always checked and asked how did my head feel. Today, I definitely feel the braids (hahah!). But during the 4 hours I sat in the chair - it wasn't her gossiping with me or even to the other ladies there in the salon. It's definitely a relaxing place to be with her good soul music playing. We spoke about some of the most realist things in life and ways of living. We're both spiritual in Chris so our conversations went on and on.....and it was just heartwarming. It was about 9:40PM when I left the salon, and I couldn't have been happier. Everything painful I had been going through during the day, I didn't feel at that moment. For that moment, it was about ME.... Not only did my hair look beautiful, but I f-e-l-t it, which is just as important. It's one thing when someone complements us, but it means nothing if we're not comfortable or feel it ourself. I know there was a reason for meeting her, and I couldn't be more pleased with her professionalism, caring persona, and the pride that she takes in her work. She was so sweet to fit me in, move her own personal schedule around, and meet me. Thank you Aurielle. She will be touching me up when she comes to LA in 2 weeks, and she will definitely be the one in charge of my hair from now on!!!!!! You changed my day 360* and as I'm writing this review I'm looking at my stunning hair! Thank you :) read more

It has taken quite a while for me to post this review because I have been contemplating how many stars to award Auriell's Imaging Studio, either 4 or 5 for you curious folks! First and foremost I must say that Aurielle is a wonderful woman: great personality, honest, talented, and very professional. Her studio is clean and very cute, think old New Orleans style, and exudes a friendly environment. My daughter's hair has never been styled to perfection, and her father and I were extremely impressed with Auriell's skill and technique. Ps. My baby can't wait to go back! :) My own hair was also lovely, and I received a many compliments on the weeks following our visit to Auriell's salon. Her prices are fair, and the quality of work speaks for its self. I hope to be able to visit again in the near future, to try out a few more hairstyles! read more

I was lucky to have stumbled upon this shop! One of my cousins friends recommend it....and lucky for me she did. I was lucky enough to make a same day appointment. The owner was very friendly, she made me feel at home. She even stayed late to accommodate me. I can't say enough about her, even though I had a last minute appointment my stylist didn't rush . She took her time doing my hair, it turned out so pretty. If you happen to be in the area and need to get your hair done and you are natural like I am you will be thankful that you did. Next time when I come home for vacation I know that is one less thing that I will have to worry about. Because I know where I will be getting my hair done! Again I can not say enough good things about about this place! read more

I'm neverrr going back. And I'm ANGRY Showed up at 9:30 for my appt. waited almost an hour while she worked on another girl asked aurielle how long id need to wait, because I needed to be done at 1. I called her the night before and blew off my other stylist because she said she was making "specially arrangements" and she said that I would be done at 1. She assured me Id leave before 1. It is 3:30, I've missed my appointments. And she had the nerve to charge me $300 for a partial sew in. She said she'd give me $15 off. Wtf? NO SHAMPOO, STYLING, OR ANYTHING. Then she didn't have change for my $300 I was so angry and late I just left. BUT BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER. GROSSLY UNPROFESSIONAL. She can't even accept responsibility for her error. When I called back to say I was unhappy she hung up in my face. read more

Aurielle is awesome! She did exactly what I asked for to the T!! She's a very warm person and makes you feel like you've known her for years. Chose Aurielle, shes the best! Trust me you wont be disappointed! read more

Although they have moved to another location, Aurielle Imaging Studios continues to provide great service and education to women and men interested in maintaining natural beauty. I'm extremely pleased with Aurielles expertise in her craft as well as her skill set to seek out other women who would carry out her vision of natural beauty. Kailey Norris is absolutely a fav. She has an incredible gallery of natural looks that would have you speechless and eagered to continue to explore further into her craftsmanship. Yes and oh Yes, I am a #1 fan and once you get a taste, I'm sure you will be hooked too! read more

I enjoy this hair studio for two main reasons...Aurielle has such a positive vibe that fills up the entire space and she is good stylist. My hair is well taken care of when I come here and I leave looking fly. I definitely recommend Aurielle's Imaging Studio for your beauty needs read more

I had been going to the same hairdresser for the past 3 years, however I stopped because of declining services. I did my homework on yelp and called 4 diffrent hairdresser's in the Oakland area. I decided to go to Aurielle's Image Studio, I'm very glad I did. Aurielle has a lovely spaces shop in East Oakland. I went for a full weave with my hair left out on top. It turned out beautiful. Looks very natural. Aurielle also was very sweet but professional. I highly recommend Aurielle's Imaging Studio's. read more

I feel like a supermodel right now! My hair is bouncing everywhere!!! I love Aurielle's Imaging Studio. She's very professional, punctual and knowledgeable about hair. I haven't permed my hair in years...The way she does a wash n press leaves people thinking that 1. my hair is permed and 1. perhaps it's a weave. Nope its not, but when I do get a weave best believe Aurielle will be doing it! The location is convenient and prices are reasonable. Can't praise her enough, she does a really great job on my hair. Absolutely love it!!! read more

I moved to the Bay area 4 years ago and felt I was at a dead end when it came to finding a hair stylist that could be the one. I met Aurielle last year and have felt truly blessed after so many disappointments. Aurielle is very professional and genuine. She does an amazing job and cares about what her clients want and how they feel. I can sit in her chair and let her go for it with my hair and not worry about the outcome. That is the BEST hairstylist anyone could ask for. I look forward to every visit. read more

Good or bad, I have always respected consistency because for the most part you know what to expect. Aurielle's Imaging Studio has been a salon that has consistently delivered stellar professionalism, quality products and customer care. For nearly, a year Kaylie has been my stylist and she has proven to be a stylist that is knowledgeable about her craft. Whether creating mini-twist on my natural hair to me rocking a straight "pressed-out-do," she always delivers! Kaylie and Aurielle provide customers with an environment where creativity, exceptional service, good music and conversations flow. Kaylie is a gem and my natural hair and I are both appreciative of her skills. I highly recommend them. read more

I went to Aurielle's a few weeks ago for my very first weave.. Kailey is so sweet and friendly. She made sure to check in with me and ask a ton of questions about what I wanted throughout the whole process, and took her time to make sure every detail was perfect, which I appreciate so, so much. My hair looks so natural, and it's not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. Most importantly(and ironically), I feel so much more like myself with this big old lion's mane! I live in San Jose, so it's not the easiest commute, but I don't mind one bit because it's worth it to find someone who really seems to care about my hair as much as I do. I'm definitely sold and probably won't be going anywhere else from now on. The salon is located in a cute, quiet neighborhood with tons of parking. There's really nothing not to love about Aurielle's. read more

I have FINALLY found an amazing stylist. I've had a few bad experiences with Bay Area stylist and so, it is refreshing to finally have found someone who knows their stuff. Not only is Aurielle an excellent stylist but, she is PROFESSIONAL and that alone makes her unique. Her salon is clean, she listens to her client(s) and she guides you through the process. I highly recommend Aurielle's Imaging Studio; Aurielle is the BEST in the Bay! read more

Every since i cut all my hair off i could hair i couldnt find anybody that knew how to cut short or even trim omg....how hard is it to trim short hair .....but finallllllllllllllllllllllly i found Aurielle. She was able to fit me in last minute being a first time client she was so nice and understanding. She was able to cut my hair just how i wanted it with no problems. If you need your hair cut from somebody that knows what she doing this is the place to go......I will be coming back on a regular ..Thanks so much girl you saved me :) read more

So nice I had to do this twice. If you are in the market for a weave so natural looking that it is undetectable to even the most skilled of weave watchers then go, relax, listen to some nice music and exit feeling fabulous. Aurielle's prices are reasonable and her care is exceptional. I am a client for life! read more

Aurielle is an amazing hair stylist that I will continue to go to for all of my hair needs. I have gotten a full sew-in weave three times, and each time it has looked amazing. Her prices are very fair, which is great considering I am a college student. Aurielle is truly a professional and listened to what I wanted done with my hair. She is sweet, and an amazing person to talk to. Every time I get my hair done by Aurielle, I am always impressed with the result. I highly recommend her. read more
