    It looked crazy at first

    I called to book a men's wavy perm and haircut and got an appointment for the same day. The salon is inside a house and clean and welcoming, Crystal and her husband are talkative and friendly. Crystal gave me a consult and recommended a tighter perm instead for my result since my hair texture is so hard and told me it would loosen to my liking over time. I think the product she uses was higher quality because my previous perms would fall out in a few weeks, but my perm from here is still lasting well weeks later The service took only 3 hours. The price was ridiculously affordable. Another salon in the area would charge 2-3x and not do as good as a job.. highly recommend this salon in Oakland!

    It's been 2 months now and my curls are still holding on. I'm still trying to figure out what's the best products for my hair. Thanks crystal for my cute perm. I wanted to have some type of waves and volume for my hair and that's what I got.

    Just got my haircut after 2 years and of course I had to come back here! Chopped off so much hair! Crystal and her husband were so nice and really took care of my hair! I simply showed them a picture of what I wanted and they exceeded my expectations and followed everything I requested from them! I 100% recommend this place!

    Love my haircut!

    I went to this salon for the first time today, I wasn't sure what to expect but Crystal did an AMAZING job on my hair! She took her time and made me feel comfortable during the whole process.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! definitely will be back :)

    Pricing as of February 2024

    Crystal was superb! I was looking for a hairstylist around the neighborhood and i really found a gem. I've had long black virgin hair for almost 3 years and wanted a total makeover. She was a good listener, very friendly, and very knowledgeable about her work. Her wash service was the Best! Pricing is fair compared to other hair salons because it is located at their home. She even gave me some snacks, free water bottle and a very delicious purple yam soup complimentary to Mr Tin. i was starving from the whole 3 hour session and i am really grateful for them. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend them. Support local business:)

    I was in need of a perm to give my hair more body/wave. I consulted with Crystal and agreed to a spiral perm. Crystal explained its benefits and the care of the perm. She was meticulous in setting my hair with 2 different sized rods. I followed Crystal's directions for my care after I went home. Happy to share that I am thrilled with her work!! No doubt, I have recommended Crystal to my friends and family.

    Went back to her to get my hair done for prom and my graduation. Took 4 hours of work and came out really nice. Crystal and Tin makes sure to highlight my roots unlike other salons.

    Simple wash, blow out, and curl ($30 because of my long hair)

    Great service with affordable prices! I was in town for a friend's wedding and wanted someplace cheap to get my hair washed, blown out, and curled. I found Crystal on Yelp and called ahead to ask for pricing. She was very honest and said it'd be about $25 but may be more depending on the length of my hair. When I actually went in, she was true to her word and told me upfront that it would be $30. I said that was fine and she proceeded to wash my hair. I showed her a picture of what kind of curls I wanted and less than an hour later, she was finished! I was very satisfied with the result and would come back to Crystal again if I'm ever back in the area.

    During the service, Beautiful and elegant hands treatment that relaxes you to sleep if not engage in chit chat with Crystal. Love her hands and touchs.

    Had my hair colored and curled. Love the look! Crystal is amazing ‍

    I've been going to Crystal for the past 8 yrs. She's always professional and advises you on what you need to get the look you want. I love that she takes her time with my hair and always makes it look amazing every single time. I am so happy with my new look and style

    Amazing haircut and very affordable! She even trimmed my hair and gave my layers all for $52. She took me with no appointment!

She talked me into coming to get a facial and I had no idea what to expect. It's been years since I had a facial. KK was suppose to do my facial, but wasn't available so CiCi (or spelt CeCe) took care of me instead. Yo! The facial hurt like hell! Had me tearing up, lol. It was painful, but my face felt so nice and clean afterwards! CiCI was very nice and sweet. She was honest and very knowledgeable. She showed me the paper with my ugly pores and gunk, lol. It was disgusting. We even joked around a bit too! I have a lot of tattoos and I mentioned how the facial hurts more than getting a tattoo, lol. But the massage was very comfortable and relaxing. The entire process was overall excellent and I enjoyed it. I caught myself dozing off a few times. Yes, my face was red after but also glowing. CiCi also said that I have some skin tags she can pluck or laser them off next time. She mentioned there is numbing cream which I'll probably need. I heard it's painful, lol. I'm scared. But I'll have to come see CiCi again soon! Thank you! Highly recommend! I can't say how much it was because I don't even know since it was my mom's treat.

What I love about Beauty Legend is that the staff is amazing -- knowledgeable, evaluating your skin and explaining what is being done and what is recommended. No pushy sales, no pushy products -- just simply caring for your skin and recommending what would work for your skin type! As the facials are solely dependent on your skin type -- the focus caters to the person. For me, my facial started with steam, exfoliating, extraction of black heads and pores, following a neck and head massage. And then, masking and hydration. Products used are hydrating for my skin. I also had other areas that I wanted to focus on my skin and my concerns were addressed and treatments were recommended. The whole treatment and process was incredible -- the extractions did hurt but it was necessary and my skin feels so much cleaner and better. I truly trust KK and Cece and I appreciate their kindness and care when it comes to my skin. Looking forward to my next treatment -- worth the wait and totally worth the drive! Definitely deserves more recognition; small space but filled with lots of wisdom and experience in the beauty industry; love and care for your skin; such a hidden gem!

Luckily their location was not terrible to find, as there was ample street parking. When I walked in, the warm and friendly receptionist greeted and made me feel right at home. Throughout my visit, Shannon shared me with her wealth of knowledge of the various AHAs as well as retinoid products. I love that we were able to geek out on which products to use to achieve brightening effects. She also made some recommendations based on my skin type such as mandelic acid instead of glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation. Without trying to oversell me her products, she suggested that I try over-the-counter Nizoral antifungal wash for possible white-heads that pop up occasionally as well as prescription tretinoin since I had a few hyperpigmented spots that I wanted to fade/brighten. Given it was my first time there, she did allow me to use my credit card to pay but informed me that she only accepted cash or checks to help keep operating costs down. Since my back issues were minor based on her assessment, I did not schedule a return visit. I so very much appreciate her sound and scientifically backed advice (I also follow various certified dermatologists on IG for general aging skin care maintenance); I definitely will be making a visit if future skin issues arrive!
