Twist Salon - Alameda (CA)

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.

Huang Venus Atmosphere is really nice, they just renovate the interior and add some greens which is really confort. Hair stylist is doing great job for my hair. Love it love it. They have the best price in town for hair cut. For the best result for hair cut, you could ask Mr. Hua.

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.

LM L For the last 12 years, I have spent so much money trying to find the right stylist to cut my curly hair. Every place claimed to have the curly hair expertise, but I usually felt the cut was just so-so. That is the complete opposite of my experience at Head Designs. Sheila took the time to listen to my wants and looked over all the reference photos I brought. I went from chin length wimpy curls that loved to frizz at the hint of rain to the CUTEST pixie shag. I was never blessed with thick hair. To my dismay, part of my aging process has been thinning hair that is coarser and more fragile. An experienced stylist understands the different hair textures between younger and older clients because as people age, their hair naturally changes in texture, density, and condition, requiring different styling techniques and product choices to achieve the best results. Sheila understood my concerns and cut my hair in such a way that the thinner areas are no longer noticeable. Now all I need to do is wash it 1-2x/week and use a styling gel. On the do nothing days, I wet down any areas that are flattened or have cowlicks, fluff up with my hands and Im done. I was Sheilas lone customer that afternoon so she was able to take care of me with zero distractions. She has a calm demeanor and a gentle touch. What I appreciate the most is how Sheila really paid attention and listened to me. There is street parking and a lot behind the shop. And after leaving with such a good haircut, I treated myself to a pastry from the bakery next door. Looking forward to my next cut. Thank you, Sheila!!

Jade Soliz Nicole was so informative and understanding to my needs. Easy to talk to while also making my experience quiet and peaceful. I love the end result. The cut is beautiful and my hair is so easy to style which is what she promised I would get. The salon is beautiful and relaxing. I trust this salon and its team with my curly hair needs. Thank you.

Danielle Fischer Lauren is amazing. I have wavy curly hair, and its been tricky to find some one who knows how to cut it. I had some pretty specific requests, and she delivered on all fronts. She started our appointment with a consultation, asking me about my preferences and really seeking to understand what I wanted in terms of shape and day-to-day. This is the first time in many years that Ive loved my hair cut -- and fwiw Ive gone to upscale salons (and random salons) throughout SF, SoCal, and DC. Im planning to just go to Lauren from now on. She was also super nice and friendly. The salon is sooo cute, and the neighborhood is great too. Highly recommend

Madison Kaviyakoen What a treat! Just had the most AMAZING experience at Hair Tech @hairtechalameda , an organic concept salon in Alameda! Katie’s been rocking this business for 15 years, and it shows in every detail. She’s high-energy, a fantastic listener, and her instincts for color, cut, and style are unmatched. Lucky we snagged an appointment before the holidays because her books fill up fast—she’s THAT good! She absolutely nailed the lift and vibrant pop that Miya wanted for her thick Asian hair, which is no easy feat. The customer service? Impeccable. The vibe? Upbeat, positive, and hella good time, with the best playlist. If you’re looking for passion, professionalism, and a seriously fun time, Katie’s your girl. Highly recommend—you won’t regret it!

Shivani Rajan Hetschel I had a really great time with Tresca. She gave me the best haircut I’ve had in a while; it was EXACTLY what I pictured. 10/10 for sure coming back!

Hana Mendoza Mame is an excellent hair specialist. She is very skilled at bringing out the best qualities of hair and will provide effective after visit maintenance instructions. Shes a welcoming and kind professional and her shampooist is the best Ive ever had the pleasure to shampoo my hair and scalp. Thank you Mame and God bless you!

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.
