Today was my first time being serviced here..and I have nothing but good things to say. My stylist was Lisa and she took good care of my hair. She was gentle and very professional. The shop is beautiful inside and the other stylist and customers were all pleasant. I will be back. read more

Called them as a last minute try for a same day wash, condition and dry in preparation for my granddaughters graduation braid appointment the next day. Juam (I think that's how you spell it) did a great job and I will use her again. read more

Rayshawn is the Goat! She has miracle hands and never disappoints me. This review is definitely overdue. I have long curly hair and my usual hairstyle is a wash, deep condition, silk press. I don't get my hair done often but when I do I like to feel like I'm getting pampered minus the staying in the shop all day. I'm extremely picky when it comes to who trims my hair because some beauticians struggle with knowing the difference between "trim" and "cut" LOL so if you have trust issues like me Rayshawn is your girl. She promotes healthy hair and will let you know if you're trim is past due. She always delivers. Very professional and you can tell she loves her job. The shop is very clean and the employees are friendly. Everyone wears their mask and they sanitize every station after each use. Ps. My press lasted over 3 weeks. Very impressed. read more

Moods & Attitudes - Wash, blow dry, press, and trim. I hadn't got my ends trimmed in over 2 years so it was definitely PAST DUE. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

Love the environment, friendliness, and ambiance of this salon. As a makeup artist, I have frequented several salons, and I must say this salon is one of my top favs. The owner is sweet with tons of personality, always greets clients with sincerity and professionalism, the hairstylists are awesome, and the family environment is the best! Myself and all three of my daughters thoroughly enjoy our time whenever we are here. There is often a small cute snack area, it's always pristine, and VERY well kept (such a cute spot). Now for my personal stylist, Aineicia. She is everything! Love her! I have been going to her for 20 years, and she is the best- hands down. My hair is healthy, thick, and always looks the bomb when I leave her chair. She specializes in healthy and natural hair; making concoctions of various oils and nutrients for the hair, as needed. With her, nothing is ever the same- she maneuvers based upon what your hair needs. #MakeYourAppointmentToday. 510.276.4247. It doesn't stop there. My additional family stylist, who specializes in creativity, dopeness, natural hair braiding, blowouts (which are amazing!), has also been doing my hair for years. Dani is meticulous, very detail oriented, and known for her intricate hairstyling. She's the best! The intricate and flawless hairstyles she has given me and my girls over the years have been fabulous! Who can say that they have two hairstylists? Me! Art varies with each individual and to be limited to one stylist for beauty isn't for me. Love her, and you will find a jewel in her as a stylist. Moods totally rocks if you're looking for a friendly, clean, family felt spot with great stylists- check them out! #MoodsRocks read more

If I could give a ZERO rating for "Shak", i.e. Shakala, I would! Perhaps it was her day of PMS as I'd frequented her before and was pleased but something I must have said or done set her off to destroy my hair with a 1" to 2" chop-chop! Soon as I left the shop, I cried and that was 2 months ago; still crying!! Additionally, overcharged! Could it have been because I told her I am a Jehovah's Witness? I'll forever be puzzled. If I wasn't a JW, I'd file a complaint with the Board of Cosmetology. BE FOREWARNED! read more

Book with Shakela! I came into town from Salt Lake City for a traditional sew in and I'm beyond impressed! She let me know everything going on with my hair and how to help it become more healthy and grow. Her work is beautiful and she truly cares! I'll be flying in every 6 weeks just to be her regular. Thanks so much!!! I'm so grateful!! read more

My hair is fairly long and I wanted to do the "big chop" so I came to Moods. I got my hair done by Dani who really helped calm my nerves because I was super anxious about the change. She acted as if it was no big deal and got started right away which was great because I didn't want to be talked out of it. Not only did she keep me entertained with great conversation but she was quick and did not let me sit under the dryer very long at all (I hate when I have to stay under there forever). In any case, she did an AMAZING job. I get stopped almost every other day and I'm asked "who does your hair?" I Was literally chased down from this lady across the parking lot this morning which prompted me to finally write this review lol. Usually people have regrets after they cut their hair... I have absolutely none! Thank you Moods and THANK YOU DANI read more

Moods & Attitudes - "The big chop" by Dani - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

Moods and Attitudes is amazing. I have been knowing Shekela , a stylist here for over 10 years. She pays attention to my hair . She notices when I have been applying too much heat to it , she notices when I need a trim , or even if I need a bit more of a condition because she cares about the overall health of my hair and scalp . I'm always satisfied with my hairstyle , and love the comfort and warmth that all of the stylists here give. read more

If you want a beautiful sew-in that's gives you a glam look, ask for Shay. Request to purchase hair from her too. The first time I LOVED my sew-in..... I love Aineicia too!! Great stylists! read more

This is as definitely one of the best experience I've had in a beauty salon. My stylist was Anita she was very friendly and professional she listened to what I wanted for my hair and did absolutely amazing . And understood how nervous I was since I don't let everyone touch my hair , the shop it's self was really nice and the vibe was very comfortable. I will be coming here from now on and definitely recommend others to visit as well! read more

This salon is the best salon I have ever gone to! They are pleasant, respectful, attentive, professional, punctual and they engage you in dialogue about the care of your hair. Oh, get this, they help each other out when they get busy and you won't notice the difference in service because guess what, they are interchangeable when it comes to customer service! I say this because MANY salons don't get this very simple concept called "customer service." Not rocket science but they have mastered the art! read more

I was hoping this would be my new spot i would go too for my cornrows, since it is located 5min from my home. My current person is a 30min drive and has limited availability because she is always booked 2 weeks in advance and prices are very affordable. Well i was charged $40 for two quickly done cornrows with no added hair. It looked okay, but was not tight i have coarse hair and i even came in with blow dried hair to make it easier. I had too Bobby pin my braids to make them look tighter on the sides. The sides were not tight. I asked her to do it over and explained why. I showed her a pic and stressed how i like it to be tight and neat yet i got a 5min cornrow. She was very nice, but i will not return. My current girl charges $25 and does a very neat beautiful job. I will not come back. I was disappointed this is day 2 and here ill show u a pic. read more

Anita is so good. She is careful to listen and then make just the right look. She cares about her clients, gets to know them and make them happy. It's a cheerful shop; relaxing and full of laughter, well-run. Stop searching for a good stylist. No matter what type of hair you have... call and ask for Anita. She does it right. ETA: Anita only works Wed - Sat, so clear your calendars! read more

I was sick of wearing my extensions and wanted to go home and cut all my hair off. I called the salon right after I got off from work and was able to make an appointment the same day. Aineicia washed, conditioned and flat ironed my natural hair and the next day I went to work without wearing my extensions. I haven't done that in years! Aineicia was pleasant and her skills are on point!! The other stylists did a great job on other clients' hair too. I would definitely recommend this salon! read more

SCAMMERS!!!! No such thing as a price list! When I tried to make a follow up appointment with Shakela via text she wanted a deposit (which was new but nonetheless fine by me) and the price for a lesser service that I wanted was in fact $50 more than what I paid for more services less then 2 months ago. I simply inquired about it politely as any person who is doing business should be able to handle because the deposit nor the up-charge was supported by her new price list. To which she replied, that due to my "resistance" against pricing & procedures she would have to cancel the appointment. This has got to stop especially with black businesses. If you can't handle a question about your pricing & procedures then you truly don't need to be in business. Everybody shouldn't be in these shops unrelaxed scared to ask a simple, respectful question for fear of being ostracized. It's ridiculous & why so many people are doing there own hair now. If you go there don't ask no questions, do as your told, & pay what they ask for because price list are null & void. Like she said, "I charge what I see fit & if you don't like it, go elsewhere." read more

been meaning to write a review I was reminded when I called to make an appointment (trying to give them another chance) of how rude the owner is. She answers the phone like she's irritated. She had the same attitude when she washed my hair for my stylist. I can't remember who did my hair shaykala or Jaz but they were both OK. What I didn't like or appreciate as a customer was the subliminal talking about my hair that started with the asian stylist Lisa (I believe there are two Lisas one black one asian) it was obvious they were talking about me and ALL the stylists chimed in and spoke in code not only is this unprofessional but the owner was involved too. I'm not a petty person and I really liked how my hair came out and how beautiful the salon was in the inside however I believe that they need to work on how they act in front of customers. P.S. come to find out the stylist Lisa I referred to is not even licensed! Be careful how you treat your customers! read more

Anita Chambers and Her People are a Wonder to behold. They all have been Anointed and Blessed to do hair. I Recommend them highly as a 5 is way too low. They take care to make sure you're comfortable, cared for and provide excellent service. A Blessing to all who work there. Love yu all. Ms. Mamie read more

These hairstylist are the best in the bay! I've gotten my hair done by 3 different stylist here, Paula (before she moved) Shay and Dani! Shay does the best weaves! She takes her time and the foundation is great and all extensions stay in tact for months! Dani does my hair now, as I have transitioned from extensions to wearing my natural hair. She is great! My hair doesn't have heat damage from flat ironing it and she takes really good care of my hair. I love my moods family! Always a welcoming environment and I'm always excited to see them and hang out when Im getting my hair done read more

Dear Moods & Attitudes (Jasmine), Let me start by saying that every business starts with a rating of 5 stars and you lose stars throughout the experience of my visit. So here's how Moods and Attitude lost stars. 1) there was no one at the front desk to greet me when I first walked in. After 3 mins, I decided to walk into the work stations and let the stylist know that I have an appointment... one stylist asked me who I was meeting with, and then told me to take a seat in the waiting area... sure, no problem, I'll wait. The wait wasn't long, but here's where the point really was lost... as I was reading my book, I could feel someone staring at me. I looked up to find my stylist and the woman who was clearly in charge rolling their eyes at my hair. My hair, 4c/b mainly 4c in a ponytail puff. It was a look of "damn" I actually have to do work... 2) she washed my hair fine... no water everywhere... relaxing, took her time, but she Didn't deep condition my hair. She barely put conditioner in my hair, placed a warm towel and plastic bag over it and had me wait at the wash station... where they do that at? I clearly needed to sit under the dryer and let some conditioner penetrate. I started to say something, but I didn't want to be that person... especially since I made the appointment that morning and didn't know this stylist. I kept wanting to believe it would get better, but it didn't. 3) if she had conditioned my hair in sections, she would have made her job easier, but instead she barely conditioned, then hand dried my hair... I swear there were times when she went from root to end... where they do that at? She then sat me under the dryer without a plastic bag to dry my roots. Oh, let me add that she barely sprayed my hair with heat protectant, she was so stingy with product it was ridiculous. 4) this is the worst of all... I paid for a press and flat iron... she didn't press my hair!!! When I asked her if she was going to press it, she said yes I'm using these (showing small flat irons) ... Girl, you and I both know, my hair has to be pressed, then flat ironed. She was trying to rush. On top of this, she burnt me and my hair a few times because my hair/scalp wasn't completely dry... when I confronted her about this, she said it was dry, but later said it wasn't... so you flat ironed wet hair? Smdh! Hence why my hair smells burnt today and prompted me to do this review..5) the sheers she used to cut my hair looked like they were going to give me more split ends... she barely trimmed my hair and I had to request her to cut more... before she cut more, she said... "I only want to cut as much as it grows" huh? You don't know me, and you don't know how fast my hair grows... cut the hair! To give her credit, I was happy with the cut the second time around... but at the end of the day, my hair looked like a blow out... which is crazy because when I press my own hair it can last for 2 weeks. I paid $85 for a blow dry and trim. read more

Go see Dani! She's super talented, professional and a perfectionist! She's definitely passionate about what she does it and it shows! Check her out. read more

*Sigh* I don't know where to start I read a couple of great reviews about Shakela and decided to give her a shot btw googling her name says she is a stylist/hairdresser.I got to the shop and told her exactly how I wanted my hair I don't believe in bashing people so all I'm gonna say is what a waste of time and money $300 bucks down the drain instead of constantly texting and talking about Real Housewives of Atlanta o yea and ass injections these ladies need to pay more attention to there clients!!! I'll never be back this shop is more for overdressed trendy HOODRICH rats! read more

Where would I be without this place. Probabky wondering the streets looking wrecked. I love this place, they do everything. If you have a vision for your style, theyll make it happen. Every stylist is top notch, but I have my favorite. Extremely flexible, and they always get me in when its convienent. Nice group of ladies, great location and prices! read more

This is where I take my daughter. Very clean on the inside. The staff welcome you with a smile. And my daughter leaves even more beautiful then before she came. read more

Jazmyn saved me! Not only did she spend hours on a serious color correction (from elsewhere) that turned out perfect, but she gave me awesome braids and went out of her way to buy the braid in extensions for me. She was attentive and accommodating throughout the whole process. Totally recommend. read more

Not a one complaint! :) well, only that Paula is leaving us to go live happily ever after. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. I've had every hairstyle and have been very happy. Thank you Moods and Attitudes for being a great and local friendly saloon. xo read more

I took my daughter in for flat ironing and wow...her hair is so silky smooth healthy and radiant. This place is where I shoulda been coming from day one. Many of my churchs members go here and they always look great. I cant speak for anything besides their cuts and flat ironing but the owner and chief stylist Anita has fabulous color on her own hair so Im sure they can do it all. Thanks Moods you got us from ratchet to fantastic with the wave of a flat iron.) read more

I love this place. Nita and the ladies there really take the time to make sure you are happy when you done with they services. I recommend any woman that loves to be pampered to try Moods its thr BEST! read more

This salon is one of the most professional and we'll run salons I have been in. I have been a client for 15 + years and they are a part of my family. The women of this shop are all extremely accommodating, patient and innovative in their work. I always feel welcomed the minute I arrive. Anita is my stylist for the past 15 years and is amazing but all the ladies have stepped in and filled her shoes when necessary. I would recommend if you are looking for a new salon you would be remiss in not choosing Moods! read more

I have never felt so disrespected in a customer service environment!!! As I walked into this hair salon with my children, one of whom would be getting her hair serviced, I felt bombarded with staff informing me that children were not allowed. I kindly informed the staff that my daughter had an appointment. I was then told I had to wait outside with my newborn and son because they were not getting serviced. I had to watch my daughter through a window. First and foremost, I was never informed of this policy beforehand and had no inclination of this absurd policy. What person would allow a mother to stand outside (I was offered a seat after standing an hour) while her child is inside of a salon with strangers that she has never engaged with. I have never written a review, but felt it was necessary to write this one for all the mothers out there that plan to have their child serviced at this shop. Frankly don't do it!! You will be sitting on a curb, with your kids, in the cold, waiting for a mediocre hairstyle. read more

Today, was an excellent day thanks to Anita with her excellent , skilled and professional hands servicing my hair. I receive a touch up with a cellophane and my hair is silky, bouncy, full, alive and beautiful. Anita, you're an amazing hair stylist and you're one on one with your clients with a lending ear. This was my first time visiting Moods and Attitudes in San Leandro and you did not whack my hair off . Anita, definitely knows the definition of a trim. Anita, has grace and style and I'm happy I found someone that understands me and my hair. Also, thanks for the lunch from your Grandmother it was delicious. I see where you receive your style and grace your family has class. I felt very comfortable at your hair salon I actually felt at home. Thanks again Anita, I wish I could give you 100 stars! Believe me I'm a returning customer. Please continue to keep up the excellent service. I'm a happy camper. read more

Upscale! Very nice! Friendly! Great prices and convenient parking. Most of all they can do some hair.The entire team stylist team is good.
