    Nearly two years consistent cut and service. Skilled hairdressers who do a great job. Hanna is with no doubt one of the best.

    Listen this place is great! not just the staff but also the customers in this area on my visit. Even during Covid they were super understand and very well versed in there salon skills. What I also like is that their staff is also well diverse. So for those with "preferences" based on their hair styles, they got you covered. I've been here once but I'm glad I came here. Made an appointment and was accepted right away. The salon is very clean and well equipped with supplies. The best part is that the staff aren't awkward so if you're a conversation type of person they are too! lol. As I was about to be done with haircut a kind lady paid for my hair cut overhearing that I just got back from deployment. THERE ARE STILL NICE PEOPLE OUT THERE!

    This is the third or fourth time I have brought my son (almost 2 years old) to Mona at Bettercuts. Mona gives off great (young!) grandma vibes, let's my son play with a comb, and is patient when he gets wiggly. Today he sat independently in the booster seat for the first time, and other times I have held him in the chair. She will do as much blending and detailing as the kid allows...timewise, our sweet spot is around 15-20 minutes. I can't say it always looks perfect, but it's good enough! I really appreciate her great availability - if I call ahead before I come, they will confirm that Mona is available and can take my son. No rushing to reservations like at some specialty kids haircut places! They also offer lollipops Thank you Mona!

    I'm really glad I found a barber in the neighborhood that's really good. I like a really tight fade and I go to this nice old lady whose name is Hieu pronounced like 'Hugh'. She is only there on Sundays**. She is killer with some shears and takes her time so that you look really good and the haircut grows out nice. I would say call ahead I've been there when people waited over half an hour. Everyone else there is really nic

    One wonky waxed eyebrow. She refused to wax the other eyebrow because I'm "too sensitive" after burning my skin with scalding hot wax.

I have had two haircut haircuts there - the first one by Georgina and the second with Itzel - and I can honestly say that these are two of the best haircuts I've ever had. I am very particular about what I want my hair to look like and how I want it to lay, and both of them were so understanding of my pickiness, both wonderful listeners and very skilled at their artistry. Also the owner Susie is just the warmest and sweetest. The salon just feels very accessible, everyone is genuinely and down to earth - and I am very grateful to have found it! Yay

    Loved this appointment! This salon is located near my old apartment and is very nice!…read more The salon is very neat, well lit, stocked with lots of products. This was my first appointment here and I was with the Hair Stylist Danielle. The appointment was long but I loved the amount of care and effort she put into cutting my hair. I wasn't rushed or anything! I had the sudden urge to cut off all my hair into a bob after seeing my current hair in a picture of me in the sun... My hair was BAD .. I could see the color difference between my natural hair growing out and the old bleached hair that I dyed a chocolate brown. I was panicked when I saw this in my picture... It was literally looking at two separate people's hair. YIKES.. Danielle saved the day! I usually have a tough time finding a good stylist but I'm glad I trusted Danielle with this transition from long to short hair. I've never cut my hair this short .. but I was happy about the results!! She did so well!! I loved it! I'll be back soon for a trim!! Glad I found BIBO Salon! Danielle saved the day!

He reached out for a conversation before I came in and I knew I was in good hands. And then I was BLOWN AWAY by what he was able to achieve!! I had expected it would take a few visits to get there. Justin knows hair!! There is a science and an art to color, especially for those of us wanting dimensional color. Justin has both expertise and artistry!! I'm just delighted. I want to also mention that the salon itself is lovely. Spacious and airy, with a sweet back patio. I loved the art, too. The whole experience was uplifting! Justin is easy to talk to, the vibes are chill. I'm including before and after photos in hopes that my review might help someone else in a similarly desperate situation. You can trust Justin at Salon 1500!! He's awesome!!

He's incredibly accommodating, especially with my unpredictable work schedule and the constant juggle of being a mom. He always communicates clearly about his availability and somehow finds a way to make things work, even when I need a last‑minute rescue for a quick color or cut. Justin is not only professional but genuinely thoughtful in his approach. He asks great questions about what I need, offers helpful recommendations, and always makes sure we're on the same page before he starts. The cuts he's given me have been amazing, easy to manage, and perfect for someone who's always on the go. On top of all that, he's just a wonderful person. He's caring, a great listener, and creates such a comfortable, welcoming experience every time I'm in his chair. Honestly, these appointments make my days better.

    This review is for Martha Muga! I am new to the area and have been looking for my go-to stylist,…read moreand I think I've found her. I came in for a full haircut today after a long time going uncut and unstyled, and I feel transformed. She took a look at the photos I wanted to refer to and was immediately confident and flattering--and she executed the perfect cut and style. We had a really lovely and fun conversation that made me feel welcomed and engaged, and I'm excited to come back again soon for future cuts. We talked briefly about the kinds of things she thought would look good for my hair specifically and what it would involve, and I think her eye for style and hair is impeccable. I'd already trust her with anything! I will definitely be coming back. For the shop: It's in the cutest little part of the neighborhood, feels safe and it was kind of quite on a Saturday afternoon with lots of trees and lots of parking. It is near the 57 and the Shellmound bus lines, and it's in walking distance of the Public Market/that area, which is perfect for me. The shop is spacious for having two chairs. It feels special and exclusive but also homey and cozy at the same time. The hair products they use SMELL SO GOOD. I really liked this place and look forward to coming back again.

From the moment we met, she made me feel comfortable, listened closely to what I wanted, and was incredibly responsive. Marilyn has the range to create everything from minimalistic looks to full glam, and I appreciated that she never pushed me in either direction.

She's also part of a network of artists who can step in if something unexpected happens, which gave me extra peace of mind leading up to the big day.

Pricy but worth it, I think I'll get a haircut with more layers next time for the price that is charged :) Would definitely come back, you can tell she is trained very well and really listens to what you want. So happy I found her salon because the last one I went to near Lake Merritt messed up my haircut pretty bad. Would recommend!
