    Dee is amazing! She worked late into the night to get my braids perfect after we had to switch up the style for my hair type--and these knotless braids do look perfect! She is so friendly and fun to hang out with. I will only be going to her to get my braids!

    I've been getting my hair braided since I was child, and I've had my head worked on by many different types of people in many different locations. However, never have I ever had someone come to ME to braid my hair. My husband planned a spur of the moment birthday trip for me, and as a black woman, I can't commit until I know my hair situation is settled. With my busy schedule (and having a 19-month-old), I knew trying to get an appointment in SF or anywhere else was not going to work for me. I searched for mobile braiders on Yelp, and found DeeDee (The Mobile Braider). I wasn't sure if she'd travel from the East Bay my to the Peninsula, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. I sent her a text message and she responded with in minutes. YES! She answered all my questions promptly. YES! We secured a date and I paid my deposit without issue. YES! I rushed home from work to wash and blow dry my hair. Unfortunately, the weather was bad and traffic was terrible. DeeDee showed up late, BUT she updated me when she left AND left me know her estimated time of arrival. I LOVE COMMUNICATION. When she arrived, she got to work. I was thinking the whole process would take longer than two hours, but nope. She got started between 6:45 and 7, and finished by 8:30. I have gotten many compliments on my hair, and one week later (and one trip to Mexico and back), but braids still look great. She didn't braid too tightly, she asked if things felt okay, and I love that she is professional. I will most definitely use DeeDee's services again!

    PERFECTION. Needed a…read moresalon close to home (I typically.. get my hair cut and colored overseas) so I saw reviews on this place close to my house. I sent in a request on Yelp and they asked that I text/call a number. After some interactions through text, a picture of what I wanted, and instructions that I wanted a 1" trim from the bottom length and a relayer, I scheduled my appointment a few days later. This spot is VERY Chinese. Lots of banter in the language but I liked the energy it gave. A little bit of a language barrier but I tried to keep it short and brief, and we "communicated" through photos of what I wanted, and what he could do. Almost all the chairs were full. I brought my son with me and everyone was nice to him (-: He was able to sit on a chair and wait for me while I had my hair done. Ming gave me exactly what I wanted. Basically a refresh. They were able to shampoo and rinse my hair, I was put in the chair, Ming and I had an exchange, and he went to work with precision and expertise. QUICKLY may I add.. I found my local salon. I'll have to try color at some point. THANK YOU MING!

    I was nervous about checking out a new salon but I'm glad I did. I scheduled an appt at 10am and I…read morewas promptly greeted upon arrival. I had my haircut done by Ming and he did a good job. I showed him a pic of what I wanted and he also gave me his professional advice since my hair is very thin and sparse. I wanted to try out a u-shape with very few layers so my hair can retain the volume. The u-shape turned out a bit more v-shaped but it still looked good. Only thing I would say is that I wish they used heat protectant on my hair before straightening it, since my hair is already very damaged from bleaching in the past. Overall, I had a good experience.

    Cant remember if i had been to this salon long ago but i loved how fast the wait and service was! I…read moreshowed tina a picture of the cut i wanted and she did not disappoint!! I felt bad using my card for tip despite the signs prefacing cash tips are better but next time i wont forget to bring cash!! The price was also very affordable in comparison to other salons (~$25-35) but they do not wash your hair prior (at least they didnt for me but I came in with day old hair that seemed fairly manageable still) Thank you tina!

    My mom and aunt come here, and I liked how their hair looked, so I started coming here as well…read more This was my third time going to Tina; however, I'm pretty disappointed with how my hair came out. I came in for a touch-up on my roots and I had blonde highlights, but they're pretty copper-brown now and the top of my hair looks like chunks of highlights. Thankfully, it's not as bad from the side, but I part my hair in the middle so it's all I can focus on. I tend to go to places based on personal recommendations, so I'm sad to say this will be my last time here. I will say, as I waited, I saw three young boys get their hair done; it seems like kids' cuts were $15 and they all looked good. However, for the $150 I spent, I would rather have spent a little more somewhere else to ensure I left feeling good about it. It was hard to tell in my chair and my booking was towards the end of the day; after about 3.5 hours, I didn't check it all there, otherwise I would have mentioned something in person.

She made me…read morefeel really comfortable and had great communication, she repeated back and made sure she understood the style I was going for before she started. Her Texturizing skills are amazing even on my fine hair! The cut she gave me brought back my confidence! She gave me tips on how to style my new cut. You can tell she loves her craft, she truly is an artist! Thank you Nancy!!! Cant wait for my next visit *(Nancy will you send me the pics so I cant post your beautiful work on this review?)

    I've been going to Nancy since summer of 2021. When I first went to her, I have to say, I've been…read morehaving a difficult time with my hair. After about 6 months after my first haircut with her, and the tips she's provided, my hair is low key thriving! Let's start off with location... She's located downtown Hayward off B Street. Although, parking kinda sucks, and it is the Main Street with so many cars, her place is so cute! Inside her place, there plenty of seating, and a lot of chairs available. For the most part, whenever I go see her, I'm probably the only other client inside - just incase you guys get nervous for Covid reasons. Nancy is so welcoming. She starts off asking you what you want to do with your hair, and she observes and starts framing your face to see if you would like it and gives out suggestions as needed. Then she washes your hair, and then she begins the cut. She's so knowledgable in the industry. She given me helpful advice on how to maintain my hair. For reference, I've always had to wash my hair daily because it's always getting so oily. So she's given me tips on how to prevent it. And after 6 months of following tips, and seeing what works for me, my hair is fuller, healthier, and thriving as I've mentioned. She also sells products in house just in case you want to obtain professional items. I highly recommend her. You won't regret it.
