I had Ezella cut and style my frizzy curly hair, she is the only stylist that ever listened ,when I explained I didn't want it straightened!

M & E Beauty Salon - After my cut and style! - Hair Salons Near Me - Concord, California

I am so thankful I found this place, I had came in on weds and Ezella was so nice to help fit me in her schedule before Saturday. She looked at my hair and gave me a rough estimate of how much it would cost for corn rows. I noticed not a lot of places in concord braid so I wish I found her place sooner. She was very welcoming and asked how I wanted them done. I didn't have to wait so she definitely schedules her clients accordingly and not over booking them. I have somewhat long hair that is thigh and she finished me up within 45 mins without pulling the hell out of my hair. I would definitely recommend this place she offers all kinds of hair services. Don't over look the place it's located in the back of TJ's. I promise you will thank me later, everyone there was hella cool. Thanks again. read more

M & E Beauty Salon - Corn rows by Ezella I love them thank you so much. - Hair Salons Near Me - Concord, California

Horrible at weaves. I would never recommend her to anyone. My weave unraveled within 3 days of her installing it. Do not waste your money or your time. She has no idea what she's doing when it comes to sew in weaves. She butchered my hair and I left highly disappointed and looking a mess. Please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I don't even know why she offers this service in the first place when she knows she does not know how to do weaves. The only reason I can think of is to scam people. Luckily she gave me part of my money back, but this experience was so horrific I wanted to warn others before she tries to scam you too. read more

8am appointment, Ezella was ready to go. She's timely, professional and is getting my hair back to a healthy place after all the damage I've done to it. I am so lucky I found this spot. read more

I been coming to Zella for over a year .. I must say it's always a pleasure to relax and get pampered, without a bunch of other customers around .. so private and a sweet treat to be able to have a little girl talk and get beautified!! read more

Not many stylist scratch your scalp prior to washing your hair. Ezella makes sure that my scalp is clean and my hair is straight. My press lasts for 3 weeks to a month. To top it off, she's hilarious. Always a great time at M&E Salon. read more

She is the best beautician I've had in awhile. She does whatever you need done with a smile. I always leave happy and she makes me laugh every time with great stories and gives great advice. I would recommend her to anyone who needed their hair done. She has my hair all healthy and long. She takes great care of my hair! Her prices are reasonable and tip her well because she definitely deserves it! I can't wait until I have a daugther because Ms. Ezella is going to do her hair too and make it beautiful. She's not too far from my house, it's a great location. read more

Ezella is a very bitter, racist woman. But, I am not shocked by all the high praise. She is probably quite competent and professional if you have dark enough skin. The entire appointment she kept saying hateful things about "you mixed people" and how we "are taking over" and are "the problem". The fact that my hair is as kinky as hers did not phase her. I sat through her tirade because she was winging sharp scissors around my head. And no, she did not give me the trim I asked for, instead hacked up my hair while trying to upsell me additional services. I only wanted a trim for my transitioning hair. Instead she took it on herself to try to cut off ALL of my hair. I kept asking her to stop chopping and had to yell to get her to back off. I left very upset and embarrassed because my hair was less than half and long as it was when I went in. I asked her specifically not to cut any more than an inch off, she cut off four inches. I absolutely do not recommend her unless you are a dark-skinned black who also has disdain for people who are not like you. If you are light-skinned, mixed race or in an interracial relationship, do not come here. She has deep seated issues. And absolutely do not bring your mixed race children. read more

Ezella does an amazing job! The shop is clean and the prices are fair! My hair still looked freshly done two weeks later! Ezella is kind, professional, and an outstanding stylish! You will not be disappointed! Schedule an appointment today! read more

Ezella (one of the stylists) is amazing. I moved here from NYC one year ago and began the search for a good hair stylist with a gentle touch. Gentle touch... because I'm a bit of a baby. I'm extremely "tenderheaded" -- meaning, something as simple as combing my hair causes me debilitating pain. My tolerance for rough handling of my scalp is incredibly low. It was imperative that I find someone willing to take his/her time with the job to keep discomfort to an absolute minimum. I've tried a few places. Either they were gentle and did a poor job, or they did a great job but nearly caused me to pass out from the pain. Ezella is the only stylist I've encountered that can consistently whip up a neat set of cornrows without killing me with pain. She's a pro. She pays very close attention to my body language and adjusts accordingly. And, of course, she always makes my hair look incredible. Even if pain is not an issue for you, Ezella and Michelle are worth it for the quality of the work alone. They're also very personable and fun to talk/listen to. I enjoy each and every one of my visits. Highly recommended. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!! These ladies can do some hair.

I saw Ezella for a weave install. Be mindful that her shop is located in the back of a barber shop. Walked in and was immediately catcalled by barbers and their clients (this is HARASSMENT), which I ignored and continued to walk to the back where her studio is. Once I entered studio, two older women were talking. I politely introduced myself letting them know I had an appointment for weave install. All I got in return was eye contact from both woman (more of a side eye if you ask me). I sat down and waited for around 10 minutes, until one left. This is when she finally introduced herself (seriously... I had to wait 10 minutes to figure out who was even doing my hair). While she is prepping my hair for washing she asks if I had already washed my hair and if I did, she could skip it to save time (WTF?!?). Mind you, I had already asked if wash was included when booking my weave install appointment initially, so I was dumbfounded and confused as to why she would even ask this. While she was working on my hair, she begins to talk negatively about Africans and how rude they are (seriously... if Africans are so rude, she must be from Wakanda/Zumunda, because her attitude is atrocious!). At one point, she stated that many customers have complained about the men in barber shop catcalling them when walking in/out shop, but she does not say anything to them because they 'look out for her' (again... another WTF?!?! moment). While sewing in tracks, she complained many times that wefts were too thick ( this store bought weave; there is absolutely nothing I can do about this). To sum it up, the whole time she was touched my hair, she was complaining about something or someone. When she finished, my weave looked amazing. Unfortunately, within one week, the tracks started to become loose in various areas. By one month, I had to take the weave down since so many areas were becoming unraveled. When leaving, got the same catcalled from different group of men. Once again, extremely awkward, uncomfortable, and UNPROFESSIONAL! In terms of achieving a hairstyle, she is talented and can have you looking good. If you can tolerate constant complaining and catcalling, this place is for you. read more

Ezella is great. I had a few inches cut and was worried I would not like it but she made me feel comfortable and I love my hair. My review is abit late, but I will definitely go to her again soon! read more

Just got my hair done with Ezella, she's so funny! Had a wash and a blow dry/ press Love the products she uses, left my hair feeling so soft and clean! Already have an appointment to come back again. Great find of you have ethnic hair, don't even bother with the blow dry bars of the world read more

Ezella always does an excellent job- highly recommend M & E Beauty. I've visited a number of times and will continue to come back.

So happy to find a stylist is concord that does African American's hair. Ezella is amazing, all about hair care and works with you to achieve the look you want, not the look she thinks you should have as some stylist do. Definitely recommend. 5 star. read more

After reading all of the reviews about Ms. Ezella, I knew I had to make an appointment. I'm from Los Angeles and for the past few years, I've been trying to find a stylist. Thank God for Ms. Ezella! Every word on the reviews are true. I arrived at the shop and she had no one in front of me. She started my hair on time and took her time, which meant a great deal to me. I can't remember the last time my hair has looked like this. It feels and looks healthy, it's blowing in the wind and I'm one very satisfied customer. She's sweet and funny so you definitely won't be bored. P.S. I've experienced a slightly scissor happy stylist before and Ms. Ezella is not one. Thank you again, Ms. Ezella! My highest recommendation. read more

My first time at this salon and was worried about getting a last minute appointment, but Ezella got me in on time. I got $10 for checking in on foursquare, for a wash and flat iron was 45, minus 10 was 35. Small quiet little place. She did a great job and was fast, which is nice because some salons tend to overbook. I was done in a little over an hour. I will be going back for sure. read more

Just moved here from SoCal and of course have to find new people to do everything. Ezella is professional, friendly, quick witted and did a good job on my hair cut. Her pricing is exceptional and you get $10 your first visit if you check in. She will be my hair stylest from here on out. read more

Ezelle is the best. I have been searching for a stylist since my arrival to the Bay area almost two years ago. She was quick, but thorough. I was her only client, not overbooked or too busy to give personal services and attention. My hair was soft and silky when she finished. Needless to say, I have found my new stylist. Already scheduled next appointment. read more

M&E Salon is the BEST. My "natural" hair: dry, frizzy, split. My post-ezella or michelle hair: smooth, silky and perfect. Can't say enough good things about these amazing women, and time spent in this salon is a blast, to top it off. SO grateful my BFF introduced me to this place! read more

I have natural hair that I get a press and curl. Ezella does amazing work. My hair is in excellent condition. About 2 years ago my hair was 2 - 3 inches long and now it is half way down my back. She treats you like royalty and does wonders with your hair. I look forward to my appointments. I highly recommend. read more

I just love Michelle, she did my hair a few weeks ago, blended two different colors and I get alot of compliments. I don't use relaxers anymore and the hard press/curl she does is beautiful. What ever you need done, styling, cuts, color, braids, weaving, Michelle is excellent! Great job always. read more

Love bringing my 5yr old to get her hair done by Ms. Ezela. She is so good with her hair and definitely knows about hair care. She is very quick but efficient and gets us in and out. read more

Great Place to get your hair done. I have been going to Michelle for years. She does hair quick. You won't spend the entire day in the shop! E and Michelle have created a great place where you look good and feel good after you leave the shop. I have recommended the salon to many people and will continue in the future. Great place to go especially if you are in the East Bay or are willing to drive to get your hair done right. Especially if you like a great Press! read more

Ezella is absolutely amazing!!! I went to her salon for a press and curl, and my hair has NEVER looked this good! I would definitely recommend her to anyone! She's also a joy to be around! read more

My husband had his hair braided by Ezella a couple of months ago. I have to say that Ezella did an awesome job. She was very professional and accommodating. I would highly recommend Ezella. read more

I have been going to Ezella for 2 years now and I have seen a great amount of change in my hair. It's so much more healthier and thick now. She really takes her time and effort into making your hair healthy and beautiful. I will always be a client for life. She's a wonderful woman. read more

Ezella is amazing. This was my first time getting my hair done by her and I'm glad I found her. I was able to get an appointment the same day I called and she was waiting for me once I got there, which was a nice change. There was no awkward introductions or silences and we were able to converse throughout the duration of her doing my hair. Definitely one of the best experiences I've had at a hair shop. read more

i've been there 2 times so far and now have found my place to get my hair done.....it's not easy people when you don't want to drive all the way to Oakland just to get your hair done. The ladies are knowledgeable about getting your hair healthy which is nice. Be ready for trash talking they don't hold back :) read more

Michelle has been doing my full head weave since 2001. I will not go anywhere else. She does an excellent job! What I love about Michelle the most is that I don't have to instruct her on what to do with my hair. She knows what I like and she does it very well. She's also great at giving style advice. M & E offers a very comfortable atmosphere and the stylists are very down to earth and accomodating. I'm a customer for life! read more

Moving to the Contra Costa County area has been a adjustment for me for sure. One of the things I was dealing with that was bothersome was trying to find a decent hairdresser for my Mom and I. We like to use the same hairdresser, it works out nicely to have a mother/daughter day every month :) anyway, I went to a hairdresser in down town Concord that was sweet, but I left out with chemical burns and didnt even trim my ends! :/ $85, I felt misused, and would neva go back. So while on a search to find someone who had more exp and care for my hair, I found Ms. Ezella!!! She has experience in Multi-Ethnic hair! We hit it off as soon as we began chatting, I felt so comfortable. She made sure to take the steps properly to keep me from getting chemical burns, and didnt burn me with her flat irons either! The shampoo was so relaxing, I fell asleep when I got home. A relaxer/shampoo/flatiron/blowdry/trimmed ends= $85. I felt like a princess walking out, ready to conquer the world! My husband loves my hair as well and we are feeling set for our 3rd anniversary!!! Thanks so much , Ezella, I'll be back for sure. read more

Went in to get my hair taken care of. I hadn't had a perm in two years and my hair was badly damaged, so much so that I had taken the scissors to it and practically ruined my hair. I called Ezella after noticing via yelp that she was near me. I scheduled an appointment. I got a hair cut and a wash, I left with a beautiful style and healthy hair at a good price! I will be back! read more

Michelle is amazing!!! The prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. I've gotten my hair weaved by Michelle twice so far. It looks so natural, you would never know it's a weave. Furthermore, she prides herself on healthy hair care opposed to just making your hair look good, which I really appreciate. Michelle is the only person I will allow to do my hair. I'm a customer for life. I love her! read more

Michelle has been our family stylist for years....started with my daughter's cornrows, then hot press...then she gave my then teenage sons beautiful dreadlocks. With Michelle's help, their dreads are long and beautiful! Thanks, Michelle! read more

Ezella is a wonderful hair stylist. I'm always very impressed with her work. She not only does a fantastic job with my hair but also gives me great hair advice and helps me make good decisions about the health of my hair. She is amazing!!!!! read more

I have been getting my hair done professionally all my life. After my stylist moved away several months ago, I was looking for a new stylist in the Concord area. I was beside myself when I found Ezella. I am very picky when it comes to my hair. I wanted someone who knows about hair and has the capability of helping me to maintain healthy hair. Ezella is professional, funny, and sweet. She will tell you what is best for your hair and her prices are reasonable. Ezella truly has blessed hands! read more
