I'm so in LOVE with my new hairstyle! I'm so happy i found this place and only 20 mins from home YASSSS!! . I spent 4 years in Atlanta (a.k.a- hair capital of the world to an ATL resident) there are creative stylist on every corner in ATL. So when I moved back to the Bay Area, it was a struggle trying to find a black hairstylist who knows what they are doing. I would read every review, scroll every pic on their Instagram page and nothing! Then I stumbled across TTP Yelp page - excellent reviews and IG pics showing off their work didn't disappoint. I sent them a message via Yelp and Starr hit me back immediately. GIRLFRIENDS!!! ....My forever new stylist Starr is the TRUTH! Girlfriend has skills! My cut and color is on point and people are constantly stopping me and telling me how beautiful I look. She is the BEST!!!! I plan to dip my feet a little more in the cut and color world.... I trust Starr is going to have a few creative styles just for me. read more

My daughter wanted a manicure and nails, her first for both. We walked in and everyone was friendly and made this dad feel comfortable. We were offered an appointment right away. My daughter is happy with her nails and I am happy with our choice. These ladies do it all, they even have a barber to take care of all your needs. Support them by giving them your business. read more

I was nervous about faux locs and decided to go for it! I booked with Starr and she was great! Hollie was also great, she was very gentle and washed my hair to perfection, she asked questions and gave suggestions for hair care that were very much appreciated. The atmosphere is pleasant and positive which is important when looking for a stylist. I am so happy with my new do and will be going back. The technique used made this crochet look so natural and I've been getting comments all day. The ladies are very knowledgable and care about taking care of your hair, not just making it look good temporarily. I recommend checking them out! read more

I was impressed from the first phone interaction. Starr got me in and hooked my hair up! I was on the fence about a silk press, and though I'm worried about what I might do to mess it up (hair is not MY talent), it looks so good, and feels so light and healthy. Friendly people and a good vibe all around. Thanks, Starr! read more

This salon is beautiful, it's in an excellent location with plenty of parking. We were able to get in last minute for a hair emergency and Starr treated us like old friends. She got my daughter into the chair and got to work. We will be returning for future services. (There is also a nail tech!) So happy we found this salon. read more

This salon works magic with natural hair. I've been there twice, the first time to have my hair curled and the second to get a weave done. Both times my stylist was Ms. Gina. The way she handled my natural hair was beyond amazing and the salon uses products that leave your hair feeling more moisturized and soft. I was surprised and impressed that the curls lasted all week given that I don't sleep with something to cover my hair. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is for the weave. The hair itself is pretty good quality- or at least I think it is but I'm not an expert and this was my first time getting a weave. The way she styled the hair was also gorgeous. What I wasn't a big fan of was that the lace closure had been cut wrong so you could still see some of the lace in the front making it look like I had a scar which I tried my best to cover up with some root spray. Another thing was that the top part was sewed on a little bulky so if I don't style it right you can see the weave tracks. Other than that no complaints it's a wonderful salon. read more

I love this place so much! I've had braids with feed ins put in and they looked great! Also I've always had a hard time finding a hair stylist that knows how to work with my hair. I have a combination of big curls, straight hair and frizz. These ladies nail it every time. Thank you so much!!! read more

This is my ONLY salon. I am quite picky about where I get my hurr done! Lol. My stylist's name is Yolanda and she is a sweetheart. She never fails to fix my tore-up look (when I walk in the door) and is gentle on my tender-head. She's absolutely Heaven sent! Previously, I went to a different stylist who worked with Y. at The Elegant Palace (now closed). When the shop closed, my stylist recommended me to Yolanda and I've been with her ever since. In fact, I moved away to Valencia, and was too scared to venture out to another stylist. I tried one lady and wasn't impressed and almost found myself near tears at the thought of searching for a new stylist. Afterall, if you don't have trust what do you have? It was after this situation that I reached out to my former stylist for help and almost had a heart-attack when I heard that her shop closed. It was at this time that she gave me the referral. As most women are, I am concerned with preserving the health of my hair and would hate to risk breakage or damage to my hair from over-processing. I have a specific hair routine and need a stylist that is also invested in my hair's health. I feel that I have found that. By the way, Yolanda is always friendly, flexible, and willing to squeeze you in. The other stylists also seem friendly and accomodating though I have not personally been serviced by them. If you need some hair therapy----go HERE! read more

I can't say enough good things about this shop! The shop really is The Total Package, you can get a fabulous mani/pedi by there NEW manicurist Ashly (see picture of work), get waxed by Leslee (eye brows, bikini, under arms and legs), and then get your hair done by the most fabulous hair stylist Lori. Just to name a few people, everyone there is very GOOD! The shop is professional, clean and welcoming with hot tea, coffee and a nice bowl of fruit if you desire a snack. You will not be disappointed if you decide to give them a try! NOTE: there address is 1122 B street, Hayward and not 22556 Foothill as listed on Yelp. read more

I saw Jazmin Boyd for a press and trim. I've been at the Total Package before and have always had a good experience. So of course when I go in I'm hoping to get that same quality but wasn't sure this time because I was having somebody new do my hair. Jazmin washed and deep condition my hair prior to the press, and while I'm getting it pressed she we chit chatted and I felt very comfortable with her right away. When she had finished styling my hair she handed me the mirror to see the end result...and I fell in LOVE! I know it wasn't anything complicated but I still loved my hair. It exceeded the usual already good quality service I've gotten before. The way she styled it was perfect. And I never told her how I wanted it she just did it. It was a bob with my bangs flipped up (I'm terrible at describing things). I will make sure to put a picture as well. Thanks again Jazmin! read more

In Aug/Sept I was in the process of finding a new hair stylist and came to yelp to help in that decision. I came across a few different shops that specialize in African American hair & made decision on Starr based on a few factors. Summary of my experience: I called the salon looking to get a full weave installed with color. There were 2 stylist on the yelp page named that had good reviews so I called and requested the first lady who I found out was no longer working there. I then decided on Starr since she was my 2nd choice. I made the appointment about 2-3 weeks in advance as I was getting my hair done for my 30th birthday. A week prior to my appointment, I texted Starr to confirm my appointment and detailed the service I wanted along with a few additional services I needed to add (perm on the leave-out, more coloring than originally requested). Starr confirmed back via text message by stating "Okay- See you Wednesday." The following week, on Wednesday, I walk in asked for Starr & am taken by another stylist, 'T' to the chair. I was asked if I was getting a wash and flat-iron & in clear confusion, I said "no, I'm getting a full weave with Starr." The owner (?) then says "OH, Starr isn't here- Can you do a full weave T?" I paused and said "but I had an appointment with Starr" They call her and she apologizes profusely saying it was a mix up. She asks I come in the following day and would give me a discount on the services. I mentioned to T (an old classmate) and Starr that Friday was my birthday so I NEEDED it done Thurs. I was pissed she flaked on me but appreciated her many apologies & as a result a discount on my services. ( + my b-day was a day away, I needed someone to do my hair.) Thursday, the next day I arrive 2-3 mins after my appointment time & some chick makes a comment as I walk to the back as if me being a few mins late was a problem. I found that odd as hell ESPECIALLY when the stylist flaked on me the day prior, but lil children always have something to say so I digress. Anywho, Starr was friendly and again apologized when I arrived however, she ultimately didn't do what I asked her to do. I'm not sure if it's because she knew she wasn't getting the full amount for the services or if she just didn't want to do what the CLIENT was asking of her. I ended up paying another 2 stylist to complete her work aka dying it correctly. I wanted to support this salon because it's close to home and an old friend works there but if this is the service NEW CLIENTS receive, I'll gladly take my business elsewhere. read more

Starr is amazing! She's done a complete upgrade! Not only do I feel like a mermaid but it feels natural. She has excellent customer service and she is super warm and friendly. She also works really hard. She always wants to make sure her client gets the best results. She's a perfectionist. I could not be happier! read more

I give Miss Tee five stars from day #1. I have been with natural hair for the past four years and dared to put my hair in someone else's hands. I had three different salons to try out and it seems I don't have to look further! Is true what the other clients say about how welcoming they are. The price is super reasonable and my hair still looks like I stepped out of the hair salon and these past days the weather has been gloomy and humid. Tee promised that I will still be enjoying bouncy hair for days... and yes, I still do! read more

This would be a zero rating if possible but I will give this salon 1 star for the simple fact that they did a good job on my daughters hair, although they jacked up mine. I have been debating since Dec 1 whether not I was going to do this review. But It is necessary. The first time I went to Starr to do my hair she assured me that she knew how to install a closure however that was not the case. It was sewn down too tight and sent back to far on my head and my hairline showed up to the front which is salt and pepper and did not match the closure. I ended up taking the closure off myself and sewed it into place correctly, thankfully the day before my vacation. The other thing wrong with that appointment was that I brought in some very expensive 32 inch hair which was cut down to 22 inches. If I wanted a 22 inch hair style I would've bought 22 to 24 inch hair. OK I did my hair myself for a while until I decided to cut my own hair. However I was very specific that I didn't want my hair cut so short that it could not braided and put it back in a weave if I wanted to. So the young lady who initially cut my hair did exactly what I was requesting. But Starr said that that wouldn't look right and said she would just cut a little more, and instead she scalped me. It was the most awful hairstyle have ever seen. And to top it off my hair is so short that it cannot be braided in the back at all. Thank you for the response but as a business owner I would never let a customer walk out, clearly unhappy with the service they've received. I even said that I did not like it when you asked me. Why did I have to resort to writing a review before you offered to fix the situation. read more

I got my hair done a couple of weeks ago and I am very please Angie did such a wonderful job considering my edges which was a great concern for me. So Angie was very careful and worked around my edges and I really liked the results. I also like the fact that I didn't have to go searching around for good quality hair I was able to order through her right at the salon which was very convenient for me. Angie also made sure that I was comfortable as possible and went out of her way to make sure that I was taken care of from the time I came in for a consultation, to ordering the hair that I wanted, to making sure my concern was factored in when doing my hair. There was a little miscommunication/misunderstanding regarding the order but the overall customer service that I experienced out weighed it all. Thank You Angie for everything and I am still loving my hair and have gotten compliments will def be back for touch up. Linda Muhammad read more

For starters... I am a new client of Starr's. I was referred to Starr by my step daughter whose hair looks absolutely FABULOUS everytime we see one another. Would you know it I text Starr on Christmas Eve she replied immediately I instantly fell in likes. She not only fit me but she also heroically tried to assist me in finding some last minute hair. I wanted to get my hair done before my New Year's trip to Houston. When i arrived the shop and the stylist that work in Total Package were welcoming, warm, friendly, and family orientated they made me feel at ease. Starr was professional and timely, she kept me informed and asked me of my likes as she installed my partial weave. I came in the salon simple and common Joanne. When I left Starr salon chair I was even more excited than I walked and i looked amazing. Thank you Starr for making me over. read more

I went in for a Keratin treatment because I'm officially divorced from relaxers and separated from weaves which seem to pull my hair out. So I'm looking for something more natural and manageable. I found The Total Package on Yelp. When I called, they assigned me to Angie because she's the only one that does Keratin. I lucked out. Angie is so nice and attentive and knowledgeable. She's right there when the dryer goes off and takes you out so you're not sitting there wasting time. She gave me helpful advice on how to help my hair grow and shine. My hair was so soft and bouncy when I left that I couldn't stop touching it. It's still straight, bouncy and soft a month later when I shampoo it at home. I'm even getting compliments from my frenemies at work. Thank you Angie. I'll be in soon to cover up some of these grey hairs with something natural. See ya soon read more

Use to come here for sew ins. Started wearing my hair natural again. It is really hard to find someone who's good at cutting curls in my area.

I'll come here more frequently for any trimming. read more

I found this gem from Yelp as my daughter needed to get her hair done. I messaged the salon and received an immediate response and they were able to book my daughter's appointment right away.

Thank you so much Rhoni and the whole staff, we will definitely be back. read more

This place is like Heaven for my hair! I moved to Hayward months ago and was very skeptical in letting strangers touch my hair. I did my research and found this little place, which is like 5 mins away from where I live (perfect). It's hidden away on B St., near the corner on Foothill. Inside, it's big and roomy with plenty of chairs and hair stations. I met Jeannine, who's extra friendly, kind, and angel. I needed a perm badly and she worked magic on my hair. When she was shampooing my hair, she was deep massaging my scalp, I almost fell asleep lol. I felt the stress disappear! After drying, trimming and styling, I looked refreshed and my hair looked freaking amazing! The prices are also great too; I paid like $40 more when I was in Berkeley. This is the place to go! These ladies know how to do hair. Highly recommended!! :) read more

Lori at the Total Package has been doing my hair for almost four years now. I wear my hair short, but I don't settle for just any "cookie-cutter" short haircut. I'm extremely picky about my cuts and Lori NEVER disappoints me. For those of who don't know, a good stylist is someone who is great at their craft, but also listens to the client. Lori always listens to me and gets it right, and makes my hair HOT! Now we're at the point where when she asks what I want - all I say is how I want "feel" about my hair and she nails it everytime. I've seen Lori style long hair too and all clients walk out with smiles. The shop is big and airy, which I like a lot. And ALL the stylists are friendly and helpful (Heeyy Sheri, Sherie, Yolanda and Jeanine!). The only thing that made me hesitant to write this review is I don't want a bunch of chicks trying to copy my haircut LOL! Other good things; prices are competitive, shop is clean, and there's parking. read more

Went here based on the reviews and because its convenient to where I live. Went for a simple wash and press and was not impressed, in fact was disappointed. To top it off I felt it was extremely over priced...$50 really??? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, the bay area has been the most horrible experience for me regarding hair. Therefore I'm moving back to my home town NY where good hair stylists and salons are a dime a dozen and a wash and set is only $10...I bet these people don't even know what a wash and set is smh. read more

I booked my appointment very quick via yelp. I was seen that Thursday, two days after I contacted them. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by rhoni and taken to the back to start my relaxer. She talked me through the process kept checking in to see how I was feeling and how my scalp was. They are very thorough and have a great sense of teamwork. Starr was great also helped with my shampoo. I left very impressed and happy with my relaxer trim and style. Definitely will Be going back. It's close and convenient to my house and the staff is great. I really appreciated the quickness to getting an appointment and how they treated me while I was there! Will definitely be going back for my retouch! I loved my style and curls thanks to rhoni! read more

Im extremely cautious with selecting hair salons for mine and my 4 kids hair. That said I rarely get our hair salon serviced due to shenanigans, attitudes and loss of our hair through poor choices made by a stylist. So of course it was the holiday and my family wanted to take pictures on Easter Sunday . It was Saturday and with 4 thick heads of hair I gave up before even trying because my reg stylist was booked out for wks. I looked on yelp saw this shop Total Package and thought id give it a shot to at least call. At 7am I called and the phone was answered which rarely happens at most shops lol. The young lady Jazmin asked what we needed and vouched that she could work 2 of us in. We all needed a wash press and flat iron. We arrived and their shop is clean and very well decorated with ample parking. Our stylist also looked the part with her own hair nails outfit nice and well groomed. Jazmin happily worked in my 2 oldest daughters and had their hair looking stunning! Amazing to say the least. I was so happy that id be able to take pictures with at least half of us looking good. Well Ms. Jazmin felt determined that all of us would have our hair looking right and believe it or not she took time out on her day off to come in on EASTER SUNDAY and finish up mine and my youngest daughter's hair!!! Who does that??? She gave us a great price and most of all everyone's hair was so silky, shiny, smooth healthy looking she even trimmed us up gratis!!! My family decided to take pictures at the darn marina and I cringed each time the wind blew and then the darn seamist that kept floating around but guess what??? ZERO BLACK GIRL HAIR CASUALTIES!!!! Everyone left pretty much as they came aside from some wind tousling. I cant say enough about this wonderful cosmetelogical entrepreneur Jazmin Boyd she is classy sweet, personable, very positive, supportive encouraging and uplifting...yeah i only went in to get my hair done but Ms. Jazmin will have your mind right too when she is done. God has blessed her so much especially in those skillful little hands and may he continue blessing her! What an experience! Also its been a week and our hair is still bouncing and behaving! read more

I needed to get my hair braided (singles) for a trip I'll be taking next week. I found Total Package on yelp. I called on a Friday and was able to get an appt that Monday with Angie. The price quoted was good for a shop. The shop was clean and well lit. Angie was very professional and easy to communicate with. Before we started, she thoroughly asked how I wanted my hair styled. I changed my mind last minute from singles to tree braids. Angie was flexible and accommodating to my indecisiveness. She paused every now and then while braiding to ensure I was happy with the work. The end product is brilliant! I've gotten so many compliments. As it turns out, I didn't even need to wait for a "recovery" period before my trip. MY HEAD ISN'T SORE! That has never happened to me before. That's worth 5 stars alone. I think I've found a new home for all my hair needs. read more

I found Starr through Yelp;) in October. I was looking to get a weave so I could grow out my very short pixie cut but still wanted to shave part of my head. The first time she put my weave in I got a few confused, "I've never seen you with your hair down!" comments from people at work that I've seen on a regular basis who knew exactly how short my hair was the week before. Lol. So, needless to say, Starr does a GREAT job making you look like you were born w this luscious head of hair. After 4 months my hair is finally long enough for a (semi) full weave and looks very natural. I feel that her prices are on point, the hair she sells is gorgeous, she is quick, quality is great, and she has even been able to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment! So glad I found Starr:) read more

Now, I have not set foot in a salon for over two years because I have had some BAD experiences and not bad as in good, just BAD. So I was definitely nervous about putting my head in the hands of strangers, especially on my birthday right before my big celebration. This salon was recommended to be by a friend and former coworker so I had decided to try it out for my new look. I was turning 24 and decided that something dramatic was needed to reflect my newly mature (meaning old) self and what's more dramatic then chopping off all your hair? Although the stylists were a bit skeptical "...are you sure you want to cut it all off...?" they helped me pick a new 'do that I was comfortable with, after ruling out shaving the sides of my head and cutting a design in the back. Hey, when I say dramatic, I mean it! Gotta take baby steps when it comes to your hair I guess. Nonetheless, I went in looking like Sam Jackson in Unbreakable and came out looking like Halle Berrrrryyyyyyyyyy...Halle Berry!! Lori was my stylist and she was fantastic! She was patient with me even though I wasn't sure what I wanted and she actually listened to me, which is key in a hair stylist. Also, Lori's assistant gave me the best shampoo of my life! The Total Package may not be the hottest looking salon but don't let the sparse design fool you...they are putting in some serious work over there. And the atmosphere is very friendly and open. I know in the past I have felt weird walking into a black hair salon for the first time because it can be like going to a party where you don't know anyone and they're all wondering who the hell invited you. But here I felt welcome and I felt that my stylist treated me like a guest not like a customer. And this was the first time EVER that I was in and out the shop in 3 hours. That is pretty much unheard of in a black salon, no matter what style you get. So basically, anyone who wants friendly and professional service and a great hairstyle, and doesn't have all damn day to get it, should get over to the Total Package. And maybe you'll see me there getting some highlights. Like I said, baby steps. read more
