Got my first ever perm from Ana and it went great. I will also say she went the extra mile too by juggling multiple appointments due to my screw up. I just showed her a picture and bam she recreated it perfectly. read more

Finally came back for a perm touch up And a haircut with Monica after 4 months. She did an amazing job as usual, couldn't be happier with the job she did. My wife and friends said I looked like a kpop star lol. read more

Sophie, I hope you're still there and doing well! This is a long overdue review, but I saw her for regular haircuts and eyebrow waxing for YEARS while I was a student and the years after. Event when I didn't live in Berkeley anymore, I made an effort to get my haircut here and see her. I appreciate the comfort and consistency that came with going there regularly. If I lived closer, I'd still be going there. I can't put into words how much I miss this place and wish nothing but the best for everyone there. read more

Anna did an amazing job perming my hair. I was super nervous and she made me feel comfortable. She's really sweet and she's an expert at this. I definitely recommend getting a perm from her! I was super happy with the results. A month later and I still have my curls:) read more

Edge Hair Salon - My beautiful perm - Hair Salons Near Me - Berkeley, California

if I could give zero stars I would. first google review I've ever done, but this one for sure deserved it. I gave her a detailed description of what I wanted provided by my previous barber and videos and photos of myself with the hair cut I wanted. she went trigger happy with the everything and left me with nothing. read more

Always a great job by Sophie! She's super kind and has surgical precision when it comes to layering hair

Chun Sun Kim got me gooood, very patient stylist and knowledgeable. Good conservationist too!

My first perm and I'm absolutely delighted with how it came out! Couldn't have happened without the incredible work of Anna. So let me brag about her for a second! 1) She's done this work for 20+ years already! A master at her craft and a seasoned hairdresser. In the moments between my hair drying and doing the perm procedure, she swiftly took on other clients and set them off w/crisp cuts of their own. Was confident and flowed through each step of the process with grace and efficiency. 2) She goes for exactly what you want. So come prepared and do your research for your desired look! Have good reference pics and be specific about the look that you're going for. All throughout the appointment she'd check in to see the reference pic again, asked how I preferred the curls, and was informative about the longevity and care of the perm. 3) She always made sure I was comfortable and taken care of. Gave great conversation. Was so kind all throughout. Def found a new spot to come get my cuts at now. Need to know for those getting a perm: - The perm is only as good as how you take care of it. So get products before or after your appointment to make sure your curls last a long time. - Don't touch your hair or mess with it too much for the first two days. Fix it to where you want it and then leave it! This helps maintain the integrity and structure of the curls until you do that first wash. Thank you Edge Salon! read more

Worst perm ever! Product dripped onto my face -- I was tossed a filthy rag to wipe it off. Prices in website are for men only. $175 perm for shoulder length hair was $201 for me "because I am a woman" (with hair just below my ears above my shoulder). read more

I asked for a short trim. Korean woman cut 6 inches and gave me a bowl cut. Said I do it cz it looks good on international Asians. I think I'd genuinely pay a thousand bucks to undo this shi read more

I had Monica today and she was amazing! I didn't love my haircut the first time around because I wished I asked for a thinner cut, so I came back and was able to get a fix up right away. Definitely come try this spot, and if you come I would definitely recommend Monica (: read more

My hair feels healthier! I havent gotten a haircut since I was a baby and usually would just cut it myself! I walked in and Sophie helped me out, i asked her for a more layered wolfcut/mullet and she was very helpful and still kept some of the length! Its a very cute haircut and I love it read more

Y'all go see Kate Martin! As soon as we walked in Edge Hair Salon, it had such a cute look. Kate was welcoming and such a good listener on what my daughter wanted her hair to look like. She nailed it and we are both so pleased with the results. Thanks again Kate! read more

I have been getting my hair cut at Edge Hair Salon for the past couple of years, after getting a recommendation from a friend. After my first visit, I have been making the trek every month from the city to get my hair cut here, because the service and value are worth it! Anna is incredibly friendly, personable, and knows how to cut hair. She remembers my preferences, but always double checks with me to make sure I am 100% satisfied. I leave completely happy with my hair, every single time. With hair salons getting more and more expensive, I find Edge Hair Salon to be incredibly friendly, and for very fair value. I highly recommend this place to anybody looking for a new hair stylist! read more

Got the worst haircut of my life here. Asked for layers in the back and taper on the side with bangs in front. Stylist cut all my hair off in the back. Did not ask questions to clarify the vision, just went in chopping everything. I been growing it for 9 months, do not recommend very sad with the outcome read more

Ask for Anna! Or really, book her online. She's been cutting my hair for a few years now and is very sweet and does a great job. Getting a haircut can feel like seeing an old friend. Pricing is about what I'd expect. Walk ins are possible, especially during times telegraph is quieter, but I would book online to make sure you get the stylist you want read more

This is my second time doing a full service of perm + wash + short haircut with Anna, and I must say: Anna is an exceptional barber who truly masters her craft. Her attention to detail and understanding of different hair types is unparalleled. For me, she created a really welcoming atmosphere, ensuring that I felt comfortable and valued during the three hour process of perming and washing my hair. Anna's skillful work from 30 accumulated years of experience resulted in a perfect cut, leaving me feeling confident and refreshed. Not to mention our banters are top notched haha (we joked in Cantonese, Chinese, Viet, English -- Anna's very sociable). I highly recommend Anna / Edge Hair Salon anyone seeking a top-notch barber experience. read more

The ladies do a great job with haircuts. I liked some stylists more than others for my particular haircut, I recommend trying different stylists to find one that works for you! Highly recommended to make an appointment or you might be waiting for a while. Please cancel the appointment if you can't make it! Looks like a $1 charge for credit cards, no fee for cash! read more

I have been there for over six year. Soffie did a great job in getting my hair cut and every time is a pleasant experience. The hair styling is just good enough to meet my expectation and the price is very reasonable for most students and young professionals. Highly recommend!!! read more

Got a perm with Kami. I did not know that non-virgin hair (bleached) has a hard time with perms, but Kami agreed to give it a shot anyways. She made sure to adapt the process to my hair and took the time to ensure that the result met expectations. Definitely recommend Kami as someone who knows what she's doing and will work with your unique hair type and situation. read more

A long overdue review, but couldn't speak more highly of this place and especially my go-to barber, Kim. I've been going to her since I was a student there, and her consistency and attention to detail always brings me back! She never makes you feel rushed and is always open to making changes on the fly as needed based on what you feel and see! She usually works Wednesday through Sunday, so make sure to book an appointment via their scheduling site! read more

Second time being here, again they cut way too much. I asked for a short trim and ended up with a new hairstyle.

I have been getting my haircut from Kami for about a year now. Her service is always exceptional and caters her work to your specific hair type and condition. She is also very friendly, and the conversation you have with her during your appointment is perhaps as refreshing and therapeutic as the haircut itself. I have also got a perm from her a couple times, and noted that she constantly goes the extra mile to make sure your perm is well-styled and long-lasting. She also explains the process as she goes and tells me how to style and maintain my hair post-perm. read more

Anna is amazing! I've been coming to Edge Hair Salon every month or so for years and she never disappoints. I'm always impressed by the fact that she remembers my preferred hairstyle, length, travel plans, and even my dog's name. She's very efficient and we have great conversations. I highly recommend! read more

First time getting a perm. Would HIGHLY recommend Anna. Whole appointment with a lil trim was less than 2 hours. Super quick and friendly. Definitely coming back in the future!! read more

Sophie has been my go-to barber during my time as a Berkeley student, and I have nothing but praise for her service and kindness. She's clearly well-versed in the latest hair styles for Asian guys -- I've gotten cuts ranging from undercuts to two-block. She's extremely meticulous and detail-oriented in her craft, and I really can't think of a time I wasn't satisfied with her service. Even more, Sophie is extremely friendly and enjoyable to talk to, making every visit feel homey and comfortable! Prices are reasonable as well, around $25. Look no further for your next hairstylist, but be sure to book your appointment at least a week in advance, as Sophie sure is popular. read more

After trying other places in Berkeley, Edge has been the best in the area. I recently got a perm by Anna and it turned out fantastic. I enjoy that you can make appointments online on their website. Anna is incredibly knowledgeable about perms and took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. She offered me water during my appointment as well. I've been going for the past 2 years and I keep going back because the perm always turns out fantastic. I highly recommend getting a perm by Anna at Edge. read more

I have natural curly hair so it is difficult to find places that cut it good. I came in here two times, I am satisfied with the price and quality of service. Wait time is surprisingly short or non existent if you call ahead read more

I have been getting haircuts from Sophie for around 7 years now, and she has been consistently amazing every single time. I always have great conversations with her, and recommend her for any Cal student in the area :) read more

Amazing cut and color at reasonable prices! Anna has colored my hair better than anyone else has before, and she's very efficient and consistent with her work. She takes lots of special care to make sure she's matching the right colors, and her haircuts always match the style I'm looking for! :) read more

Could not get a better short haircut than here. I've had 3 different beauticians and each one was great. And you cannot beat the price. I am usually the only woman here, but doesn't bother me. read more

I've had three perms and cuts at this salon now since moving to Berkeley and I've left happy each time. This place is quick, casual and convenient. Anna is an amazing hairstylist and a master at perms. Perms can be scary, especially at first, but don't worry, you're in good hands with Anna. My last perm was perfect and lasted me nearly 6 months. She's been doing this for over 35 years and it shows! Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Anna. read more

The worst haircut I've received in Berkeley. The barber left many long uncut hairs on my head. Never get a haircut here.

Told the haircut lady to cut very little, and she nodded in agreement. I even indicated how short I wanted the cut to be but during the haircut, she didn't even care to stop or check to see how much she was cutting. I told her to "stop" and that it was "enough" but she said she's cutting more for texture. Overall, I was really disappointed with the result and would never return back to this place. Terrible experience read more

Have been getting my hair cut by Sophie for the last few years. Always a great experience!

This was my second time coming here. The first time wasn't that bad except I noticed the lady didn't listen to a thing I said and just kind of did what ever she wanted with my hair. This time I asked her to taper the sides and back and cut like an inch off the top. The taper was fine I guess but its not blended well at all. Whats worse is what she did to the top of my head. She kept on telling me I have really thick hair which is just not true at all. My hair is fine, straight and thin and this lady somehow made it even thinner. She made my hair so thin that I can see my forehead through my bangs, especially near the corners of my forehead which makes it look like my hairline is now receding. My hair is so short and thin now that I literally cant style it at all. It looks like a blind person tried to cut my hair and just butchered it. If I didn't have an internship coming up soon I would literally shave it all off and start fresh cuz I don't think this is gonna grow back very well with how poorly it was cut. I want my money back. Don't come here unless you're asian and want a perm and even then I would say you could find your money better spent somewhere else. I'm serious I want my money back I feel like I've been robbed. read more

This is the very best salon in the Bay Area! The people are incredibly nice and the styling they do is top notch! And the prices are beyond reasonable. And for my Asian brothers out there, you cannot go wrong! Look no further than Sophie and her crew! Make an appointment today!! #AsianHaircut #AsianBusiness read more

I've been going to Edge Hair Salon for years! Sophie has been my go-to person since I moved back to the Bay Area in 2017, and always does a consistent, impeccable job with my haircuts. When things began to reopen during COVID, they took great care to ensure safety for staff and patrons alike -- sanitizing, cleaning, taking temperatures, the whole deal. I love that they recently introduced online appointments, it makes the whole process so much more efficient and easy. And back to Sophie, she is an absolute gem, and one of the sweetest people I know. She's always one to give you an honest assessment of any hairdo's/cuts you're considering, and I enjoy catching up with her every couple weeks for a fresh cut. If you're looking for a place that provides great value for what you pay, Edge is a treasure. read more
