    Third time!!! Vacation hair

    I was referred to Kaari Braids by my old braid shop now closed. I was really nervous because I don't gamble with my hair care and new people. Manti listened to what I wanted to look like, gave me hair growth tips, product suggestions and I left looking amazing. Since my first experience, I have returned for 2 more times. My hair is full, long and healthy. Thank you Manti you are really good at what you do!

    I got medium knotless box braids. As stated on the website they typically braid to mid back. I didn't want my hair to be that long but she coerced me into getting that length. I'm guessing to avoid lowering the price. I'm tender headed and knotless braids aren't supposed to hurt. I let her know I was tender headed yet she still was braiding too tight. That same night I woke up with my head pounding. The parts were rectangles not boxes. I developed a lot of tension bumps on my head because it was so tight. To make matters worse I lost A LOT of hair at take down. I will not be returning. Do better.

    I've been going to Kaari Braids Studio regularly since May. That was the first time I'd ever gotten braids in my life and Manty did a great job. She's friendly, easy to talk to, professional, and fair priced. I'm now a repeat customer and have referred a few friends and my wife along the way. Highly recommend.

    Manty is soo sweet, smart, and such a quick and skillful braider! I absolutely loved my session. We watched music videos and talked about things ranging from fashion to politics. I loved how we were able to find common ground in such a short time of getting to know each other. But my braids were soooo beautiful! I loved how she was so willing to try out my idea and even let me come back another day to add more details to it. I felt the pricing was fair and was super happy that she was able to work with my hair being short.

    This is what she did

    I returned for my third haircut, the first one with Georgina and the second one was with Itzel and…read morethe third one was with Georgina and it is literal perfection. I don't even have words for how happy I am with both of their work. I am 45 and these are the best haircuts I've ever gotten. I'm so glad that they're right down the street from me and I feel like I would be in amazing hands with either stylist. I'm obsessed with how my hair looks.

    Loved this appointment! This salon is located near my old apartment and is very nice!…read more The salon is very neat, well lit, stocked with lots of products. This was my first appointment here and I was with the Hair Stylist Danielle. The appointment was long but I loved the amount of care and effort she put into cutting my hair. I wasn't rushed or anything! I had the sudden urge to cut off all my hair into a bob after seeing my current hair in a picture of me in the sun... My hair was BAD .. I could see the color difference between my natural hair growing out and the old bleached hair that I dyed a chocolate brown. I was panicked when I saw this in my picture... It was literally looking at two separate people's hair. YIKES.. Danielle saved the day! I usually have a tough time finding a good stylist but I'm glad I trusted Danielle with this transition from long to short hair. I've never cut my hair this short .. but I was happy about the results!! She did so well!! I loved it! I'll be back soon for a trim!! Glad I found BIBO Salon! Danielle saved the day!

    This review is for Martha Muga! I am new to the area and have been looking for my go-to stylist,…read moreand I think I've found her. I came in for a full haircut today after a long time going uncut and unstyled, and I feel transformed. She took a look at the photos I wanted to refer to and was immediately confident and flattering--and she executed the perfect cut and style. We had a really lovely and fun conversation that made me feel welcomed and engaged, and I'm excited to come back again soon for future cuts. We talked briefly about the kinds of things she thought would look good for my hair specifically and what it would involve, and I think her eye for style and hair is impeccable. I'd already trust her with anything! I will definitely be coming back. For the shop: It's in the cutest little part of the neighborhood, feels safe and it was kind of quite on a Saturday afternoon with lots of trees and lots of parking. It is near the 57 and the Shellmound bus lines, and it's in walking distance of the Public Market/that area, which is perfect for me. The shop is spacious for having two chairs. It feels special and exclusive but also homey and cozy at the same time. The hair products they use SMELL SO GOOD. I really liked this place and look forward to coming back again.

They helped me "blend" in my grays and did a "High-Lift" balayage to add some caramel dimension. It was perfect timing since I was going on a family trip the following month and was renewing my vows. Even though I don't come in often, they always do their best to create a style that works for me and are professional and superb customer service.

Cristi is incredibly talented, attentive, and always takes the time to understand exactly what I'm looking for. My color turns out beautiful every time, and my hair stays healthy and shiny. The salon is welcoming, clean, and professional, and it's always easy to book appointments. They also have a great reminder system, which makes scheduling and keeping track of appointments effortless. If you're looking for someone who truly knows balayage and color, I highly recommend asking for Cristi. I highly recommend Fox & Belle Salon and will definitely keep coming back!

From the moment we met, she made me feel comfortable, listened closely to what I wanted, and was incredibly responsive. Marilyn has the range to create everything from minimalistic looks to full glam, and I appreciated that she never pushed me in either direction. We found the perfect in-between, and during the trial, she patiently worked with me to tweak my makeup and try different hairstyles until it felt just right. Marilyn is also such a wonderful person. She's warm, easy to talk to, and made both the trial and my wedding morning feel calm and enjoyable. She's also part of a network of artists who can step in if something unexpected happens, which gave me extra peace of mind leading up to the big day. Marilyn an incredibly talented artist, and I feel so lucky she was the one who helped me get ready for my wedding day. Thanks Marilyn!

Pricy but worth it, I think I'll get a haircut with more layers next time for the price that is charged :) Would definitely come back, you can tell she is trained very well and really listens to what you want. So happy I found her salon because the last one I went to near Lake Merritt messed up my haircut pretty bad. Would recommend!
