The Walkup Salon and Gallery - Oakland (CA)

Tony López I have been a customer for 10 years. Meyda and Lorena are the best. Great service, fast, and very professional. I would recommend to make an appointment or call ahead. Prices are very reasonable! Plenty of street parking or parking lot next door. Closed on Sundays but open until late (8pm ish) Monday through Saturday.

Virginia D. Brooklyn is amazing. Ive been to a number of different curly stylists over the years and shes been a breath of fresh air. Shes extremely talented, dedicated to only curly hair, and really fun to chat with in the salon. I couldnt ask for a better experience. The initial consultation was awesome, she took the time to ask questions about my hair, take notes, and play around with my curls to really understand my needs before doing any cutting. Since then, everytime I come in she take a moment to see whats changed before diving in. One of my favorite things about Brooklyn is that she takes each persons hair needs into consideration and includes hair treatments in the cost of her service instead of trying to upsell. If youre looking for a curl specialist, consider Brooklyn! Shes spectacular.

Amanda Joseph Hands down the best experience I’ve had in a black hair, or any hair, salon. I say black hair because we ALL know the rundown when you book an appt for a press and there’s 2 people in front of you, and 2 people behind you- and two getting done while you are! Not strut! I had my OWN time slot BOTH times I visited. Once I got the curly girl deva cut by Carmen and next time I got a cut and press by Antoinette. I could go on and on, the shop is clean and intimate, and they give you a CLEAN robe to put on, they offer water... etc. i also received a hair consultation both times, and I could tell that both women are very knowledgeable about hair, true students of their craft. I am just really impressed! Highly recommend this place.

Mercedes Henderson I recently went here for twists, and it was a truly pleasant experience. The service was impressively quick, and the results exceeded my expectations—I was thrilled with how it turned out. Josephine worked efficiently without sacrificing quality, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. I would definitely go back again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-done, professional twists!!

Don Pape Sam is my only guy. Ive been coming to him for 10+ years and I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Sergio Monteon Friends and family have always gone here. I decided to give them a try and it’s been now a year coming here and cut my hair with Lisa. All the girls are polite and easy to talk to.

Moh Momo Roxanana was very nice as I approached late nearly closing time, and I asked her to give a good look cut and she did a beautiful job. Was my first time here and will definitely come back here. Great customer service. Loved it. Thanks

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.

Moah Lee Elvia is FANTASTIC!! She did my hair very pretty! I actually went there for get the hair straightening but she looked my hair and been super honest! My hair is shiny and also already straight just some on my bangs little wavy. So she recommended just get some haircut then that will make it look nicer! But I wanted to get lil more changes so I decide also get some highlights too. Even choosing color she really knows hair SO Well!! So I just leave it up to her and the results are Fantastic!! And I really appreciate her not all about the money. She is super honest and super professional and even taught me how to style my hair. Anyways it is so long review but Because it was pretty impressive this place is. They even so cautious with COVID too so how they schedule for clients I personally very appreciate it.

Jennifer Byrne So, I found this gem when my hair got botched at a Supercuts. I was the type of girl with long hair that only get their haircut once a year. Never was an issue until IT BECAME AN ISSUE. Jasper saved me the 1st time in correcting my haircut while hanging on to as much length as possible and I was forever grateful! He explained what was wrong with it, gave me options, and really took his time with the process and styled it to perfection. The second time I sat in their chair was when I made the WORST decision by not returning. I work in SF and had virgin hair and wanted a big change so I decided to get a balayage at a salon on Polk street. My hair turned into a bumble bee with a tinge of greenish hues and awful highlighting. I was traumatized! I decided to reach out to my lifeline and made my appointment at the RIGHT salon. Not only did they have to correct a horrendous color job but also a bad haircut once again. One side was longer than the other. Mrs. Tat Tat came in for the W! She truly is an artist, magician, and hero. Thank you both so much for your patience and magic hands. I can firmly say I will NEVER go anywhere else but L’Amor Salon and you should too. You will genuinely appreciate the abilities of their entire team!!! I feel so confident, back to my usual self and ready for my 40th birthday and upcoming wedding!
