    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.

    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!

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

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!!

Hailey took the time to understand what I was looking for and explained the process in the way that I understood. She made recommendations for color and services to help my damaged hair in a way that was clear she was doing what was best for me and my hair and not upselling at all. She even took the time to redo the color on my roots when it didn't come out quite right the first time (due to my hair's porosity not her mistake). I am so happy with how it turned out! Pics are before (poor highlights and cut and damage) and after (root cover up, red highlights and toner, subtle layers)

    When my daughter asked if she could color her hair for the first time for her 16th birthday, I knew…read morethere was only one salon I trusted, Fox & Belle. Before we booked, I reached out to Judy, and she explained all the different color options. Since my daughter had never colored her hair before, it was really helpful to understand the cost, timing, and upkeep. I wanted this to be something she wanted and chose for herself. Having Judy and Cristi incorporate her preferences and keeping her informed by sharing their expertise ensured she would get the full experience and make her feel included. She originally wanted a green ombre, but after learning it would require bleach and a lot of maintenance, she quickly changed her mind. They recommended a lower-maintenance color, but my daughter really wanted it to be a big change so we all agreed that a honey dark blonde would fulfill that and be a great introduction into the responsibility of colored hair. I had to go back home and work and left her in their care but trusted fully and from past experiences, I knew she would be taken care of. My daughter ended up seeing Cristi, and she had such a great experience. She was at the salon for about six hours, and I was worried it was going to be too long, but she had a blast. She watched shows and played games on her iPad, she was offered snacks, and even took a nap as she got her hair washed. Before she knew it, we had returned to pick her up and it was time for the big reveal. They hadn't let her see it until we arrived and she is in love with it. It turned out beautiful, and seeing how happy she was meant everything to me. When I was 16, I used box dye from the store or "Sun in" so being able to give her this experience was really special for me. It also gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands and that her hair was being cared for properly, esp without me being there. Of course, Fox & Belle did an amazing job! Now my 11 year old is already asking when it's her turn. Not anytime soon but when she's ready, I know where exactly where we will be going.

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!
