“Hidden gem, very good men's haircut. I've been looking for a place in Berkeley/Oakland that does a good job but at an "every 3-4 weeks" price. This is it.”

— Jaeger L.

“I got an appointment on super short notice. It was my first real haircut (meaning not done by myself or a place like supercuts) and it was SO worth the price. The stylist listened to me and my wishes and made it look like a 500 dollar haircut. It truly seemed like artistry. I highly recommend her.”

— Brighton E.

“I've been getting my hair cut here for the past two years. Really great haircuts -- much better than the ones you get at the haircut chain stores. Highly recommended.”

— Jack G.

“Great customer service! Love the quality of care my hair gets with Ella. Been going to her since 2014. She has me on a rotating schedule of color and cut then color and deep conditioning. I swear my hair just loves Ella because of how bouncy and full it looks after she is done with it. Highly recommend.”

— Carla E.

“I made a quick appointment this morning and the owner totally accepted me even though I pretty much asked for her to take me in within the hour. It's a typical hair salon, 3 chairs, small & cozy, nothing intimidating or crazy. My hair was long, she cut it medium and made sure I was comfortable with whatever next steps she was going to take. I feel like a brand new freaking person! My hair looks bomb. I'll be back!”

— Angella G.

“It's not easy to find a good or suitable stylist especially women are very concern about their hair… She's very efficient and experience doing her job. I'm very satisfied my after hair cut. She spent an hour to get my hair done. We also talking a lot while she's doing her cutting.”

— Jaane F.

“Ella was my stylist and she asked me questions about what I wanted, verifying everything before she made any ships. She also periodically showed me the back so I could see the whole process and make sure it was going as I wanted. I was very pleased with the quality of my cut and for $38, I'm not sure I could find a better deal elsewhere in the area. This did not include wash and styling but I'm perfectly fine with doing that on my own. I'll be back for my next trim!”

— Melissa T.

“I really like my haircut. Ella spent her time going over different styles with me, cutting and texturizing my hair (twisting and nipping at it with the scissors), and then showing me how to style it for best results. It looks great several days and washes after. Unlike other hair salons she did not use a buzzer on the edges of my hair (I hate that!) and I did not have weird long tendrils going down the back of my neck. Thank goodness!
All for $33-- great deal for a very nice cut!

— Lucy L.

“This was 5 days before my wedding!!! I was nervous about having someone else cut my hair for the first time for a very important day in my life. Ella cut my hair and was extremely understanding and let me tell her exactly how I normally get it done. She listened and asked questions and was very detail oriented. Not only did she hit the nail on the head, but exceeded my expectations. Best part is they are only 2 blocks from my house! Highly recommended!”
