My favorite place to get a haircut. I brought Mom here for the first time. She never got a nicely styled and hair cut because she always opted for those cheaper haircuts. So this was a treat when she suggested to come get a haircut with me. The place is clean and great background music. The place is very welcoming and clean. Mo is the best. Thank you for giving Mom a lovely treat! Our chats are lovely, too. I'm never bored. :D read more

Chez Moi Salon - First time haircut at this salon - Barbers Near Me - Oakland, California

Mo did an amazing job on my hair! I came in to trim my growing buzzcut, and she was able to help me figure out what I wanted to add texture and style to the cut. read more

Everyday I spend at least 20 mins trying to get the hairs on the left side of my head to not stick up. Every stylist knows that you don't cut really thick coarse hair short unless you want it to stick up. I only have to do this for another 3 months. read more

Mo is a fantastic stylist. In addition to being very skilled, she offers insightful suggestions on haircuts and has guided me in the process of developing a new hair style that I've been really liking! read more

I'm picky about my hair. I want it to be funky yet professional, long yet manageable, youthful yet age-appropriate, and technically well-cut. It usually takes me a few tries to find a place that works for me, but not this time. Mo was amazing, listened to the above conflicting requirements, and made it happen with expert skill, all alongside an interesting, deep conversation. I felt special, and from reading the other reviews, it seems she has a talent for making everyone feel special. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment! read more

Mo does an awesome job. I'd been going to several different salons / barbers over the last year to find one that actually does a decent job with my hair. Most in town were pretty terrible but Mo nailed my style on the first go. Have been back a few times and she always does a good job and is attentive to what I want. She also always makes great conversation - highly recommend if you're looking for a new spot! read more

First time visit, but won't be my last. After watching the quality of service from my long time hair stylist decline, I thought it was time for a change. After a lot of shopping around, I decided to give Mo a shot and I'm very happy I did. After a detailed consult to hear what I was looking for, she went to work. Long story short, I not only ended up with a great haircut, but more knowledge about how to style my hair, how to blowdry it and what products are the best fit for me. The search is over; I've found my stylist! read more

Chez Moi salon is back! New year and as stylin as ever. Come for the cuts, stay loyal for the turnkey service! Mo is a highly versatile and innovative owner that takes pride in her craft. You will be delighted with what she personalizes just for you! read more

Mo rocks. Needed a new stylist after my previous barber left the area and decided to move away from barbers altogether as my hair was longer. I am 5 cuts in and Mo perfected my desired style after 2 appointments. She worked with me to find something that makes me feel good and fits my style. Clean, awesome shop with good vibes only. Highly recommend! read more

Mo is amazing and there's nothing else to say. skills are over the chart but most amazingly, she's become a friend after few questions. amazing person, service and overall everything read more

Went in for a haircut, Mo is excellent! I walked in and she immediately started asking me great questions - 1) what do I want? 2) what, if any, folks' hair do I wish I had? 3) how much time do I want to spend working on my hair every morning? and 4) [most importantly] what do I want to drink? ;) The service is great, the studio itself is great, and it's just an awesome experience all around. I found them through a Groupon and was so happy that I had. Definitely recommend! read more

Mo is fantastic. I've lived all over the Bay, but I'm always willing to make the drive back to Oakland so that she can cut my hair. She's great to chat with, her establishment has a fun funky vibe, and she's amazing with the scissors. 10/10 would recommend. read more

So happy that this salon was back opened, finally getting the cut that I've been waiting for in the last 2 years. The website/reservation was easy to use and the salon was very clean, overall, felt safe and normal to come back in! I can tell from her interactions in the salon, Molinda really takes care of each and every one of her clients. Finally, I am able to feel so fresh and so clean from Molinda's cuts! read more

Booked an appt a month ahead. Has to leave work an hour early (and since I'm a contractor that means money I didn't make). When I arrived on time the owner told me that I had to wait ONE HOUR extra for my scheduled appt. Meaning she was running way behind. To say I was pissed is an understatement. read more

Best cut ever. It's so hard to find a trustworthy stylist these days. Mo knows exactly how to give you the best style and keep you looking fresh. Shop is clean and got great vibes read more

Let me start by saying that I actually really like this salon; Mo is awesome and you can't beat the prices. As the salon is currently understaffed, appointments are harder to come by- 3-4 weeks out. No problem, I was willing to wait. And due to my own scheduling issues, I even pushed out my original appointment by an additional 2.5 weeks. Then today, they day of my appointment, I get a text message a little shy of 3 hours before the appointment, saying that due to an emergency, the appointment was cancelled and to rebook online. Ok. So I go online and again, the next available appointment that I can make (after work) is about 3 weeks out (there are day appointments available during the week that I cannot make due to work). Emergencies happen, totally understandable. But, if you're going to cancel on your client the day of their appointment, you should at least offer to fit them back in for an appointment in a reasonable timeframe (within the next week, for example, even if that means staying later than usual). It also should not be up to the client to go back online and reschedule if the salon is the reason for cancelling. If I were to wait and reschedule the appointment online, it'd be up to 2.5 months since I actually first needed a hair cut. I ultimately ended up making an appointment elsewhere as I'm not willing to wait any longer for an appointment at Chez Moi. I will say that I absolutely loved the 2 haircuts I had previously gotten here and even referred a friend. But, not sure I'll be back given my impression of the lack of customer service. read more

I got a haircut here awhile back, but unfortunately they are pretty booked up currently. I really wanted to stop back because the hair dressers are friendly, and the set up is very cute. Also they offer you a beer or drink while you wait. Next time the schedule has more openings I'll be back! read more

Mo is amazing at giving haircuts! I have gone to her exclusively for a few years now, she is super fun to talk to and suggests amazing style for me! Recently she got pregnant yet she never skipped a beat, still working super hard and caring so much for all of her clients! read more

*This wax studio is no longer inside of this salon* This review is actually for the wax studio located inside of the salon. Beehive wax studio and its owner Alicia were both wonderful. Small personal space which was very clean and neat. I wanted to get my under arms done because I really hate shaving so often. Alicia was so great! She removed all the hair and the stubborn ones she got with the tweezers to insure I was hair free. The wax she used was great, no strips, and she kept checking to make sure I was comfortable and the temperature was good. She was quick but accurate and accommodating. I will be going back to her for my next session. She does full body waxing, eyebrows, upper lip, and eyelash/eyebrow tinting. She will also be doing facials soon. The place is new so you can find her by searching this salon and asking for Alicia or stopping by. read more

I don't always leave a review but when I do, it's either really good or really bad. In this case, it's pretty effing AWESOME! :) It's hard for me to trust my hair with JUST any hairstylist because well...let's just say I got a haircut when I didn't want one due to a "chemical" cut from a different hairstylist. By the way, a chemical cut is from overprocessing bleach and causes breakage to your hair. ANYWAYSSS...came in for a color/tone session before my auditions and let's just say by the time I left the salon, I was feeling like a million bucks ;) Mo was so sweet and explained the whole process for me (since I was so traumatized from before). She was able to help me achieved the color I wanted and more. I was so happy with how it came out and my hair seems so much healthier! Definitely recommends going here if you're in this side of town for a color/haircut! Plus, how can you say no to some refreshing "beverages" (beer) while you wait? Don't mind if I do hahaha :D read more

I am so incredibly happy with the haircut I recently got from Molinda. I brought pictures to show her, and she did exactly what I wanted (cut & style). The entire time she was cutting my hair she communicated with me, making sure that going shorter was ok, adding more layers was ok, etc. She took her time with my hair and it really felt like she cared. The whole experience, from being checked in, having my consultation with Melinda, wash, cut, and style made me feel like I was getting my hair done by a friend I had known for a very long time. Molinda is such a talented stylist who knows her craft and gave me valuable insight into how I can style my hair to create loose-beachy-waves at home. The salon itself is clean, modern, and very chic. I cannot recommend this place enough, and will be booking regular appointments to keep my hair looking and feeling wonderful! Thank you Molinda! xo read more

Chez Moi Salon - Long bob with loose waves :) cut & style by Molinda - Barbers Near Me - Oakland, California

my new go to! really enjoyed the attention to detail as well as the constant pulse check to make sure i was cool with everything she was doing. read more

Mo might not screw up often, but when she does it's bad, and on every level. I've had three haircuts with her and two out of three of those have been fine. Unfortunately the last haircut I had was terrible. I don't know where the disconnect happened, but somehow my hair ended up 3 inches shorter than what I had asked for, as well as a complete hack job on my layers. I have a haircut that I am ashamed of, I don't even like looking in the mirror. When I wrote to her afterwards explaining how upset I was, she offered some shampoo. When I went to pick it up at the time she specified, she wasn't there, and didn't answer her phone or email. When we finally were able to connect via email she made excuses. I'm not going to get into all the details, but what I can say is that her complete lack of customer service is very disheartening and frustrating. I have one of those cuts that when people see my hair instead of saying 'your hair looks great', they say 'oh your hair looks... different.' In the end of it all, it won't be her abilities or (lack there of) as a stylist that keep me from returning, it is her complete lack of care and responsiveness as a stylist with her clients. So if you decide to go with Mo, just hope she doesn't mess up with you. read more

Amazing interior and felt much at home.. Felt like I 1w as being taken care of right when I walked in read more

Great hair cut. Mo listened to me, shared her ideas & recommendations and was very collaborative. I want from shoulder length hair to pixie cut, and am very happy. read more

Mo did an awesome job on my hair! She is so down to earth, makes you feel welcome, and explains what she is doing to your hair and why. My aunt has been my hairstylist since I was a kid and I'm always nervous about going elsewhere but I'm so happy I found someone I can trust and will do a great job. The interior is very nice and she offers you free beer / drinks while you wait. How cool is that!? I'm definitely returning to Chez Moi and will recommend to my friends. read more

I live fairly close to here and saw them on Groupon so I went. It was a very cute place with great customer service. The owners are really nice and very easy to talk to. I have a weird shape head and I liked that they knew what they were doing so that my hair isn't sticking all over the place. I like the location and the decor is simple and elegant without being too fufu. read more

Great place, great people, and excellent haircuts! I always look forward to seeing Mo because I know she will do a great job. Not to mention that she offers me a beer every time; ) Plus, it's always fun catting while she does her thing. My office is near by and she does such a good job that nearly the whole office started coming to Chez Moi for their cuts. Mo has also helped me develop a better hair style and she always follows through when I ask for a change. I couldn't be happier with the service at Chez Moi. read more

Loved my cut. Mo is really great! More than just hair but also an expert at hair. Coming back!

Mo is the best. Every time I walk in she remembers me, offers me a beer, and then follows up to the conversation we had from my last visit. She gives a great men's haircut regardless of style. I had longer hair when I first started going. She shaped it better and showed me the best way to style it. Then we started going shorter and shorter over the past year. Me AND my fiancee are always happy when I walk out of Chez Moi with my fresh new cut!! read more

I'm the type of person that gets a haircut once a year. I've always gone to different hair stylists because I haven't found "the one" but today I think I have. I scheduled a last minute appointment with Mo via their online booking system (5 STARS). It was so easy to use and convenient. I love this. Why do other stylists at other salons make you text for availability? Are we not in the 21st century? Can all salons use this system pls? thx Prices are clearly marked on the website. It isn't a secret, unlike some places where you have to call in to ask. Again, 21st century people. Let's make it easier for people to get haircuts. ( 5 STARS). The salon itself is designed beautifully. Love the atmosphere and the decor. Very clean, modern, not pretentious at all. There's tea, beverages, and beer for those waiting and the music is cool too. (5 STARS) Mo cut off my long locks and gave me a bob just in time for my birthday. It was shorter than I expected, but I'm starting to like it a lot. She spent a lot of time on my hair, and I appreciate that so much! I was also considering dying my hair, and Mo walked me through the entire process and provided recommendations while not being too pushy. If/when I decide to color it, I'm definitely coming here. I just looked at my haircut again in the mirror and I love it a lot. Thanks Mo for working your magic! (5 STARS) read more

I had Molinda as my stylist, she definitely took the time cutting my hair and did not disappoint! Customer service was on point which is a huge plus. During my cut, she educated me about hair and head shapes which just show how much Molinda loves what she does. She also provided hair tips and recommendations to her clients if you want to maintain your hair a certain way. I do recommend calling in advance as the place does get quickly booked, I was a walk in. Parking can be a bit limited and crowded due to a shared lot but there's usually street parking nearby. Overall, great experience and professional stylists! Pros: - Premium Cuts - Beverages & Snacks - Wifi for guests - Music/Entertainment - Social Environment Cons: - Parking read more

After moving to Oakland from DC 2 years ago, I've been having the equivalent of one very long bad hair day. Between our building's water and the new climate (and my desire to never spend more than 15 minutes fixing my hair), my fine, naturally light blonde hair has a totally different texture, never sits right or feels clean and has turned a brassy color. This bothered me because well, I don't feel like me. We've all been there. I recently got a very meh haircut that exacerbated all of the above problems. This made me acknowledge that I needed someone who would actually fix what I currently didn't like instead of just repeating a previous haircut. Enter Molinda & Chez Moi. I found Chez Moi during a frantic search, and read a few reviews who said stylist Molinda really listened. I snagged the last appt slot for the following day. I was the only person at the salon during my appt and the laid back vibe put me at ease immediately. Mo asked specific questions: what didn't I like about it now, what did I like about how it used to be, what feels different, and what I told the person who had just cut my hair a few days prior. She cut my hair slowly but in a good way - taking into account that it was already shorter than I had hoped and trying to re-shape it while taking off as little length as possible. She explained what she was doing & would ask my thoughts before repeating a technique, etc. She also told me about purple shampoo. This is a huge thing for blondes which I had no idea about, nor did my prior hairstylist tell me about. Molinda used some on my hair, told me where to get a good kind for a great price and didn't try to sell push any of the salon products. The outcome is that I have a fresh haircut that makes me feel more like me again, and tips to help further that. On a side note, I have been using the purple shampoo Molinda used on my hair for the last few weeks and my normal light blonde color is starting to return. Now I have a salon I look forward to coming back to. Plus I love supporting a young, female-owned small business. Thanks Chez Moi! See ya in a few months! read more

My hair was really damaged and due for a trim. Luckily, I came across this homey-ambience salon (go figure from it's French salon name) The salon itself has a very welcoming feel-at-home vibe. Parking wasn't hard but it's also Bart-able or Lyft/Uber rides are convenient for me as well. Oh, FREE WINE GLASS for first time Yelp check-ins. So make sure you don't drink and drive! There's actually many drink options. I had coffee. I took my daughter here with me while I get my hair done and Molinda (hairdresser/co-owner) is a great host and has hair magic touch! She had her cute lil doggy around at that late afternoon (last minute appointment) so my daughter was very entertained. They had Jenga for her to play too (how fun?) My hair outcome? From yellow blonde to Ombre brown/purple/pink-ish. It lasted for a while too with the help of Mo. She gave me guidelines on how to better care for my hair specially after going blonde from a really dark hair. Will be coming back and will take my kids as well they are due for a trim soon (before mommy cuts it herself) read more

Only got a haircut so far but I can't wait to schedule my appointment to color my hair with her! She's also amazing with men's cuts as well! & lastly, all the products she uses smell sooooo gooooood! read more

Seriously stylin'. I mean, I look good. With the magical white comb my hair was transformed from overgrown frizz to sleek, smooth, sex hair. Like model status...ok maybe I could still use some work on my abs, but who has time for that when they are offering beer upon entry. Dave and Mo know what's up. Super friendly, and as of today, fresh pavement in the driveway. Let's hope they start throwing those hair parties on Saturdays. read more

If you want your hair done right, you can trust Molinda! Plus, the environment is super cool and relaxing. 5-stars!
