I was curious of why he gets so many great reviews and hopeful at the same time. He was amazing. I've never seen hands move so fast And so accurately before in my life. There was almost no weight to get my haircut and it was cut in record time and it actually came out better than I thought and it looks awesome. He was a very pleasant person to chat with a little bit and he's very safe by making sure that he's got his mask on while he's working because he's in contact with a lot of people through the day. I would definitely recommend this place to people that needed a haircut in the area.

Y'll. This review is purely based on the lovely AMY cutting my hair for more than 10 years !!…read more || Amy || Bless this lovely woman because I honestly can't go to anyone else. I've tried venturing out to other hair dressers/salonists, but their haircuts just don't hit the same as Amy's. She's so kind, meticulous, cares about the type of style/haircut you want/how you want it to grow out, knows the importance of each individual's hair texture and how the haircut will look, etc. You know how some hair dresser's haircuts can be a hit or miss depending on the day ... well Amy's haircuts ALWAYS make me feel fabulous after. Also to note, my haircuts from Amy always grow out really nicely !! Not only does your hair look great after the fresh haircut, but throughout the course of its growth before it's time for your next one! I clearly can't rave enough about Amy. Apologies that I've never tried getting a haircut from other hairdressers here, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? I don't play when it comes to my haircuts, and Amy's where it's at ! :) Thank you so much Amy! Not to mention, haircuts are only $25 (as of 4/14/21) here !! SO worth.

A week ago I went there for a permanent hair straight guess what happened once I reached home I found my hair was damaged, not only that after few days my hair started falling off not a few a bunch "falling falling" for a second I was so scared seeing my hair falling it was like a "cancer patient hair falling" and it's still falling.... Right now I am doing a hair massage 3 times a week to save my hair for falling. I am praying to god that I won't be a "BOLD" I can sue them but that's not me but I want people to be aware of this place and please try to avoid.. just to save some money I went there but people please please "DO NOT GO HERE" 2) the lady who did my hair told me it's $150 than later she said $200 but I was fine and I also mentioned it's ok $200 but please do a good job. There is lots of fishy going out at this place once I was done I went to pay I see a big payment machine where they accept all the " payment cards" but guess the lady told me to pay with cash where I didn't carried and than she told me to go to the next door store to cash out money and pay her. So I had to cash out and pay her $$$$$ A lot of bad vibes out there "I WANT MY HAIR BACK" "PEOPLE WATCH OUT "BE AWARE Doesn't not deserve single "star one star because I can't post my review without giving a star

Irina is such a perfectionist and really takes her time with every section, but somehow the whole…read moreappointment is so calming that I feel like I'm mediating. She understands thick and fine Asian hair incredibly well and knows how to shape mine so it goes from ratty and generally unkempt to polished (and so much lighter). It can be surprisingly hard to find someone to do this kind of haircut (long fine hair) in the East Bay, but Irina really listens to the look you're going for. Her recommendations are always specific to your hair type, and I leave feeling less like I always have bedhead and more like I could be an art gallery girl in west village (iykyk).

TL;DR: This place is great! Book with Mark--he's an *artist*!…read more Longer version: My hair stylist quit the biz a few years ago to pursue a career as a therapist (so fitting, right?!) I was stoked for her! But since then, I've been adrift and searching for my hair match, trying out a new stylist for each cut. (My hair is fine but wavy with a weird cowlick, so it needs just the right layers. I had some great cuts and some so-so cuts, but never the right combo of close enough, a decent amount of availability that I'm not waiting months or driving across the bay, AND a great cut.) I tried Mark at Maru on a random rec from a friend whose daughter works at the salon--and after one cut, I feel like my search is over! The salon is very well-run and had an opening within a couple weeks. I arrived on time, was offered herbal tea, and waited under five minutes. It's in a nice spot in Berkeley with plenty of street parking with pretty cheap meters--$4. Mark asked me what I was looking for, got it right away, and was of course fun to chat with. I walked out with a cut I love for a reasonable price. I will definitely be back!

I've been a loyal supporter of Sam for the past decade and more. More recently, Sam has been…read morecutting my son's hair. Sam has a great way with kids because my son is terrified whenever I tried to cut his hair but the 1st time I took him to see Sam, there's no crying, he's sitting still asking all sorts of questions like a curious child would, and already looking forward to the next time he sees "Uncle Sam". I can also say that Sam saved my marriage. My wife (fiance at the time) told me to not cut my own hair. About 6 months before the wedding, I made a big mistake so bad that my wife was in tears and made a royal decree if I continue this path, she would call off the wedding. I searched and found Sam who not only made me look more handsome and younger, but even my wife gave my hair style 11 stars out of 10! Nowadays, I usually go to Sam and have him do his recommendations but occasionally I would give a general idea of what I'm feeling that day. All of my friends did note I exert more confidence and feel more assertive when needed. Maybe it's the hair that changes one's attitude towards oneself or in life?
