So, I love Eric and this new (for me) salon…read more I was looking for a new stylist closer to home, and had tried a different stylist (not Eric!). Let us just say I received a very unflattering cut, and couldn't even figure out what went wrong. I just knew every morning, I would try to make it presentable, struggle with flat irons, curling irons, round brushes and blow dryers just to have it poof out at odd angles and look frizzy and unhealthy. I was so frustrated, so I once again turned to yelp, and discovered all the rave reviews for Eric and booked an appointment online. Wow...what a difference! His salon is clean, well-designed, and has that high-end look. Eric himself is stylish and friendly. I tried to explain that the haircut I had just gotten was wrong, but I had trouble articulating what was wrong, or what I needed. Never fear, Eric totally seemed to know what was wrong and what was needed to make my hair beautiful again. He gave me a precision, fantastic cut, that has movement that I haven't had in years. I consider him a miracle worker. I have not been as happy and satisfied with a stylist in many, many years. I have had many, many compliments on my new haircut, and even referred one of my co-workers. Thank you Eric!

If you're looking for a hairstylist who takes the time to gets you, check out Sara at Grove Salon!…read moreShe may be newer to the game, but don't let that fool you--Sara has talent and a natural instinct for hair. I've been toying with the idea of getting a balayage or baby lights forever, and I finally decided to take the plunge. Sara took the time to really listen to what I wanted, asked all the right questions, and eased my concerns about how the color would grow out. I didn't want any harsh lines or brassy tones, and Sara nailed it. She recommended a gorgeous balayage with a cool toner, and let me tell you--it's perfection. My hair feels healthier than ever, and the color is better than I could have hoped. Sara has this calm, laid-back vibe that made the whole experience feel like hanging out with a friend. She took the time to understand exactly what I was after, brought me tea, and was super fun to chat with. Bonus points for giving me a blow dry that stayed smooth and frizz-free--even though my hair has a mind of its own and loves to get fluffy! If you want a stylist who's skilled, fun, and has a fresh approach, Sara is your girl. Run, don't walk, to Grove Salon!

Truly loved connecting and laughing about all the things! I also appreciate your expertise and thorough job with my cut, color, and look. I received so many compliments at the event ~ the color is incredibly vibrant, and my hair is still shining post-wash. From the moment I stepped into Chop Salon, the service was absolutely wonderful ~ check in/out was a breeze, and even during wait times for color to process, there were ample snack/drinks to munch/sip on. Appreciate the good tunes and really just the overall vibe of this salon. It feels cozy, but also hip and comfortable. I don't have pricing to compare to, but overall I left feeling both impressed and excited to return soon for a salon in the EB I can trust/feel welcome in. Street parking available and fyi, they ask guests to also park in the (old) Marshall's parking lot for overflow and not across the street in AutoZone.

Rocky did a fabulous job with consultation, walking me through the steps, and executing a great cut and color plan! I already have my second appointment booked and am very excited for my hair journey with Rocky. All the stylists were super kind and the space was so inviting by having water, snacks, and wider chairs for clients. It felt very accommodating. Also, super queer and LGBTQIA+ friendly!

TL;DR: This place is great! Book with Mark--he's an *artist*!…read more Longer version: My hair stylist quit the biz a few years ago to pursue a career as a therapist (so fitting, right?!) I was stoked for her! But since then, I've been adrift and searching for my hair match, trying out a new stylist for each cut. (My hair is fine but wavy with a weird cowlick, so it needs just the right layers. I had some great cuts and some so-so cuts, but never the right combo of close enough, a decent amount of availability that I'm not waiting months or driving across the bay, AND a great cut.) I tried Mark at Maru on a random rec from a friend whose daughter works at the salon--and after one cut, I feel like my search is over! The salon is very well-run and had an opening within a couple weeks. I arrived on time, was offered herbal tea, and waited under five minutes. It's in a nice spot in Berkeley with plenty of street parking with pretty cheap meters--$4. Mark asked me what I was looking for, got it right away, and was of course fun to chat with. I walked out with a cut I love for a reasonable price. I will definitely be back!

I showed him one photo, and my hair looked exactly like it after. It was definitely the longest haircut I've had and pricey as I'm not used to Bay Area prices just yet, but honestly, so worth it.

Jessica helped me choose a very natural black brown instead of the dark black that I was leaning towards. I was pleased that the black brown was so natural on me and it feels nice starting the new year with a more vibrant hair color. This salon always plays pleasant music and offers tea or cold drinks. It's a cozy salon and I love that their clientele is extremely diverse. I started coming here many years ago and I couldn't really get away for long but hopefully, I will be staying with Jessica for the coming years for more color and cuts. Jessica is a sweet person with a kind smile. That definitely makes this salon an even better place. The only thing I would change are the chairs/wash basins they use to wash hair, it would be more comfortable if they could update those because it's a bit uncomfortable.
