    It looked crazy at first

    I called to book a men's wavy perm and haircut and got an appointment for the same day. The salon is inside a house and clean and welcoming, Crystal and her husband are talkative and friendly. Crystal gave me a consult and recommended a tighter perm instead for my result since my hair texture is so hard and told me it would loosen to my liking over time. I think the product she uses was higher quality because my previous perms would fall out in a few weeks, but my perm from here is still lasting well weeks later The service took only 3 hours. The price was ridiculously affordable. Another salon in the area would charge 2-3x and not do as good as a job.. highly recommend this salon in Oakland!

    It's been 2 months now and my curls are still holding on. I'm still trying to figure out what's the best products for my hair. Thanks crystal for my cute perm. I wanted to have some type of waves and volume for my hair and that's what I got.

    Just got my haircut after 2 years and of course I had to come back here! Chopped off so much hair! Crystal and her husband were so nice and really took care of my hair! I simply showed them a picture of what I wanted and they exceeded my expectations and followed everything I requested from them! I 100% recommend this place!

    Love my haircut!

    I went to this salon for the first time today, I wasn't sure what to expect but Crystal did an AMAZING job on my hair! She took her time and made me feel comfortable during the whole process.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! definitely will be back :)

    Pricing as of February 2024

    Crystal was superb! I was looking for a hairstylist around the neighborhood and i really found a gem. I've had long black virgin hair for almost 3 years and wanted a total makeover. She was a good listener, very friendly, and very knowledgeable about her work. Her wash service was the Best! Pricing is fair compared to other hair salons because it is located at their home. She even gave me some snacks, free water bottle and a very delicious purple yam soup complimentary to Mr Tin. i was starving from the whole 3 hour session and i am really grateful for them. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend them. Support local business:)

    I was in need of a perm to give my hair more body/wave. I consulted with Crystal and agreed to a spiral perm. Crystal explained its benefits and the care of the perm. She was meticulous in setting my hair with 2 different sized rods. I followed Crystal's directions for my care after I went home. Happy to share that I am thrilled with her work!! No doubt, I have recommended Crystal to my friends and family.

    Went back to her to get my hair done for prom and my graduation. Took 4 hours of work and came out really nice. Crystal and Tin makes sure to highlight my roots unlike other salons.

    Simple wash, blow out, and curl ($30 because of my long hair)

    Great service with affordable prices! I was in town for a friend's wedding and wanted someplace cheap to get my hair washed, blown out, and curled. I found Crystal on Yelp and called ahead to ask for pricing. She was very honest and said it'd be about $25 but may be more depending on the length of my hair. When I actually went in, she was true to her word and told me upfront that it would be $30. I said that was fine and she proceeded to wash my hair. I showed her a picture of what kind of curls I wanted and less than an hour later, she was finished! I was very satisfied with the result and would come back to Crystal again if I'm ever back in the area.

    During the service, Beautiful and elegant hands treatment that relaxes you to sleep if not engage in chit chat with Crystal. Love her hands and touchs.

    Had my hair colored and curled. Love the look! Crystal is amazing ‍

    I've been going to Crystal for the past 8 yrs. She's always professional and advises you on what you need to get the look you want. I love that she takes her time with my hair and always makes it look amazing every single time. I am so happy with my new look and style

    Amazing haircut and very affordable! She even trimmed my hair and gave my layers all for $52. She took me with no appointment!

    Tin proceeded to give me a pretty good cut, a little too short in the bang area but it'll grow, for only $20.

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.

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.
