Vanidad Full Services Beauty Salon - Oakland (CA)

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.

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.

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.

Maryorie Lopez I love this place its the best! I swear, they will make your hair so beautiful. Jorge is the best, he cuts your hair so nicely and you are going to so shocked when he is done cutting your hair. If you live around there then you should totally go and get your hair cut.

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!

Lucy Spencer We all know that finding the right hair stylist is a relationship foundational to feeling like the most beautiful version of ourselves. Alli, founder of Hüe, became that person for me right off the bat. After I had sampled numerous salons around the east bay, Alli welcomed me providing intimate care and pampering from kind conversations and refreshments to the most luxurious shampoo and head massage I’ve had. Over the past few years we have played with highlights, balayage, gloss and dye and found a daily hair care regimen. My hair is beautifully cut and healthy through all of these different processes. I appreciate how she meets the vision I have while still making sure it works for my hair texture and need for fairly low maintenance styling. Her experience shows through custom dye blends, great communication, and chic cuts that look gorgeous immediately and through the upcoming months. If you are looking for a professional to trust with your hair and encourage your outer and inner beauty, just stop here and make an appointment.

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.

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.

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.

Andrea Sexton Dumas Love of Hair Artistry has made my loc journey delightful. Once I found Akiyas services, I knew she was who I wanted to loc my hair...but she had a substantial waitlist. During the time I was on the waitlist, I educated myself further about how to care for my hair and made sure this was the right decision for me. The consultation with Akiya further deepened my confidence in her skill; we discussed my hair texture and what would be the best process, size, and care for my hair type. 5 months later and I have never felt more confident. Love of Hair Artistry is exactly that: the art of loving and caring for your hair. Love as a verb. I feel more present with my hair and more embodied in general. Such much gratitude to Akiya! Highly recommend!!!
