    This is my hair after the haircut
    lamiae a.

    If you don't have straight hair, please save yourself by not going to this salon. I went in today for a women's haircut, I have 3b textured curly hair. I asked the guy to trim my hair by 1" and he did a good job until then. The worst mistake of my life is asking for some layers towards the top. I could tell he had never dealt with curly hair before because he kept telling me 'too much hair'. Yes, I do have thick hair but I literally walked out almost bold. He used thinning shears all the way from the top throughout my entire head, by the time I realized that he was done I had no hair left. I have been growing out my hair for years, and literally paid and walked out of there crying. My hair is completely damaged, frizzy and dry after this haircut and will take years to recover. I now have to go spend way more money on extensions because I clearly can't live with it.

    I had a hair cut with Kim. After showing her a photo, she immediately knew what I wanted and made a few suggestions more suitable to me. I really like my new hair cut. Kim was quick and gave me the hair cut I wanted.

    That's the first time here, but it's excellent! I love my new hair color! The vibe is great. TBH a good experience

    David is the best! I used to take my kid to his El Cerrito location; today is the first time I've taken both kids to his new place in Oakland. As usual, David chatted with them amiably in Cantonese and took his time in getting their cuts just right--not easy when one kid has never had a haircut before and was mesmerized by the sound of the clippers and the mirrors. We look forward to returning many times in the future and pairing our haircutting missions with trips to nearby eateries in Oakland Chinatown.

    My son was so glad to see Sylvia here!

    Sounds like David is great but I don't have any experience with him personally. In fact we found out about this location recently because Salon Hair House closed around the corner. Our family and friends had been going there for years to see Sylvia so we're beyond happy to know she's still around. Stopped by there today with my son for both of us and it went great. They have a beautiful fish tank up front and a waiting area. All the stations are spread out and everything looks modern and clean. Sylvia did great work as usual and is always friendly and professional. My wife and daughter are also her customers and we can't recommend her enough. For those of you who know Salon Hair House, she is still using the same business phone number to take appointments!

    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!

    I moved to Oakland relatively recently and really wanted to find a solid go to stylist and I'm VERY…read morehappy with BIBO. I have had two haircut haircuts there - the first one by Georgina and the second with Itzel - and I can honestly say that these are two of the best haircuts I've ever had. I am very particular about what I want my hair to look like and how I want it to lay, and both of them were so understanding of my pickiness, both wonderful listeners and very skilled at their artistry. Also the owner Susie is just the warmest and sweetest. The salon just feels very accessible, everyone is genuinely and down to earth - and I am very grateful to have found it! Yay

He reached out for a conversation before I came in and I knew I was in good hands. And then I was BLOWN AWAY by what he was able to achieve!! I had expected it would take a few visits to get there. Justin knows hair!! There is a science and an art to color, especially for those of us wanting dimensional color. Justin has both expertise and artistry!! I'm just delighted. I want to also mention that the salon itself is lovely. Spacious and airy, with a sweet back patio. I loved the art, too. The whole experience was uplifting! Justin is easy to talk to, the vibes are chill. I'm including before and after photos in hopes that my review might help someone else in a similarly desperate situation. You can trust Justin at Salon 1500!! He's awesome!!

    5 Stars for Justin Lorenz! ***** I'm lucky enough to live right around the corner from the salon,…read moreand Justin has become my absolute go‑to for both haircut and color. He's incredibly accommodating, especially with my unpredictable work schedule and the constant juggle of being a mom. He always communicates clearly about his availability and somehow finds a way to make things work, even when I need a last‑minute rescue for a quick color or cut. Justin is not only professional but genuinely thoughtful in his approach. He asks great questions about what I need, offers helpful recommendations, and always makes sure we're on the same page before he starts. The cuts he's given me have been amazing, easy to manage, and perfect for someone who's always on the go. On top of all that, he's just a wonderful person. He's caring, a great listener, and creates such a comfortable, welcoming experience every time I'm in his chair. Honestly, these appointments make my days better.

    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.

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!
