Empress Hair Styling - Oakland (CA)

Diane Micheil Literally the best cut and color in all the land. This man is a genius with his hands. I live around the world and I will never let anyone else do my hair. The shine, the perfection of tone, everything is gorgeous every time. This is why he gets best salon of alameda year after year.

Bella Fica I recently visited a Black hair salon for the first time in a decade, and I couldnt have chosen a better place to rejuvenate my hair. The salon is beautifully designed, and the owner, Charlotte, was incredibly welcoming. I appreciated that the service prices were clearly displayed, along with QR codes for easy payment. The other stylists and staff members were also very friendly, creating a warm atmosphere. I feel like Ive finally found my go-to salon. Charlotte offered valuable suggestions for addressing some hair loss Im experiencing, and I left feeling optimistic. Ive already scheduled my next appointment for this year.

Sinath Neang I moved to Oakland two years ago, and Tiffany has never disappointed me with her talent for haircuts. This past weekend I also decided to get my hair colored for my wedding by Tiffany, a balayage style. I wanted a light ash color and wasnt sure what was possible because my hair was black. She gave me good advice, even when I wasnt sure what I wanted or know whats the right decisions. She was thoughtful and patient with me. Afterward, it turned out beautiful, but I told Tiffany I wanted to be lighter and to even out the orange due to my hair being black. She had me come in for another session, so she could make it lighter and even. After the second session, she even gave me treatment for my hair to take home. Tiffany is not only a professional, but shes talented at what she does, and she cares about her clients happiness. Shes the best hair stylist I have had. Thank you for always giving it your best! Below are photos of Tiffanys work.

Mozell Quarles Pamela is a great stylist! Her salon is peaceful and beautiful.

leroy knightjr I have been a customer for 17 years and the staff is very skilled and patient. I don’t get my locks done any place else, I’ve tried but no one does it better than Nappy or Not

Henry Portillo I love this hair salon! Leo has been doing my hair for 4 years already and has never disappointed me. Today I took my grandma to get her hair done and he did a great job like always. If you want to get your hair done go to LEO! He’s great and takes his time. Thank you Leo your the best!!!

Rachel E This was my first time booking a curly cut with Joey, but it will not be my last. I got a hydrating mask, a toner, a trim with layers, and styling. Joey took to the time to figure out what I wanted but was able to give advice when I was choosing between two different color toners. The execution was perfection and I’m obsessed with the results. My curls look and feel better than ever and I’m struggling to keep my fingers out of my hair. Joey has a very warm personality, communicates well, and ensures that you are comfortable and cozy while getting your haircut. Little touches like having a stocked fridge and snacks, fidget toys, and an electric blanket for the back of the chair just added to the overall experience. I cannot recommend enough as this was the best overall haircut experience I have ever had.

Mostafa Abuzaid Great customer service shes the only Barber who actually knows how to cut curly hair. I would recommend coming here because most barbers in Oakland cut your hair too short or mess it up

Teresa Goodwin Laura’s haircuts make the days easier! Even when things are tough I can think at least my hair looks good. I’ve been going to her for years and I highly recommend her and her salon.

K M I had a great haircut and overall experience at Honey Salon with Joan. She was very attentive and kind. After discussing what I wanted she pointed out some areas that needed adjustment since the last haircut was growing out a little sparse. I love the end result, she cut nice long layers defining around my face like I wanted. Her little poodle, Suki is a delight. Highly recommend her.
