    The inspiration
    Amy B.

    Best hair cut I have had since moving to SF. I live in the city and have tried many different studios: Edo, Code, Princeable, and many more... I came across Eric Does My Hair in Oakland and decided to make the trip across the bridge. OMG, this is the best hair cut I have had since leaving NYC... I got a long wolf cut. It is perfect! I will be making many more trips across the bridge to Eric Does My Hair! Nepenthes thank you! I don't take good photos and my side selfie doesn't do justice of how beautiful I feel and how perfect this hair cut was! They literally nailed it against my inspiration photo.

    10/10 service all the time, I've been coming with Nepenthes for the past year and the haircuts keep getting better and better! They're so knowledgeable and naturally talented and the chat is fun so that getting my haircut is always a breeze. Yay!

    UPDATE: your ridiculous response brings you down to a 1. You must have me confused with someone else. Please review my responses in text and let me know where you see my supposed "violent transphobia". I am soooo glad you didn't do my hair. Original: "Eric was nice, but I wasn't a fan of how he told me what color he liked for me rather than help me determine what was best with reasoning. I didn't feel like my desires for my hair color would be honored."

    I live near the ocean so "no styling" may be a bit of a misnomer. It's styled by the sea.

    I've had the same hairstyle since COVID started--long and no layering because I just trim it over a trash can. However, I wanted something different. My face is practically a circle, so I wanted a haircut that could make me *not* look like 布袋 (Bùdài, AKA Fat Buddha). My friends suggested a wolf cut, and since I hate thinking, I was like, "Sure." As with most of my choices, I went to Eric on a whim, but I'm glad I did. I have a tendency to feel awkward for no reason, but Eric was very approachable and friendly. He was also upfront about tempering my expectations, which I greatly appreciate. After looking at my reference photos, Eric instantly let me know my hair wasn't going to look like the pictures because of x, y, z reasons. I am kind of clueless about this kind of stuff, so I appreciated his honesty. He asked me a lot of follow up questions and checked in regularly during the cut. My hair is extremely thick. It's not uncommon for people to mutter "so much hair" while they're working on it. Multiple hairstylists have told me, "This is a day's worth of hair" once they're done. My hair also doesn't "lay" the way most people would expect an East Asian person's hair to lay. So the fact that I still love my hair after washing all the salon product off says a lot. (I didn't have the foresight to take a "before" photo and I don't take photos of myself generally so you'll have to make do with what I got.) Thanks Eric!

    I am soooo happy I found Eric! He's not only saved my hair twice but gives me the best haircuts and look at this GORGEOUS COLOR! I even added a before pic just so you could see how he transformed my hair and gave it life. 100/10 he's so funny and a great person to talk to.

    THE REVIEW: My second time with Eric. I've been trying out different people but I have to say I think Eric has done the best out of all of them. Nice layering of my hair and after getting the cut I just feel so beautiful THE STORY: 6 months ago I got into an accident where half my face was burned, everything healed nicely but my hair was just in a weird state bc of the fire. So I told Eric this and I asked for his input on what to do. He did not disappoint. Thank you

    Partial highlights, new cut.
    Elizabeth U.

    Growing in my grays and so wanted Eric to give me a shoulder length Bob with some partial highlights to bring in my grays with style. They nailed it! Thank you Eric!

    Eric has been coloring my hair for three years. They are a talented hair colorist who takes their time and cares a lot about the details. I am consistently satisfied with the results. I won't see anyone else. I also like that Eric's salon is located in a private suite, so no one else is around when I'm getting my hair colored.

    Multidimensional balayage with precision layer cut abs style

    Wow! Love, love, love what Eric has done with my hair. Wow! Cannot recall the last time I was this happy and excited about my hair. Eric is in a class of his own. His technique, precision, and eye for what is needed are exceptional. I've been to many salons and hair artists in LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and the SF/ Bay Area, and Eric stands out among the best of them. Multidimensional balayage with a precision layer cut and a style - expert level! Perfection! A real artist! My only regret is not meeting Eric sooner!

    Sorry for the filters, but this was literally the most gorgeous haircut I've ever gotten

I was floored by his skills and attention to detail, not only towards my hair but also to my comfort. Making an appointment was easy - just text his number and asked about availability and sent pictures. I drove from South Bay but this was more than worth the hour drive. Plenty of street parking available. Upon arrival at 3:30 pm on a weekday, K greeted me with warmth into his well lit studio. Chic Hair Design is a one man show. I'm not sure about other's preferences, but I appreciate having one expert care for my hair from beginning to end (vs 5 different people passing the baton on different tasks). K inspected my hair thoroughly, made recommendations, and took the extra mile to ensure my shirt stayed clean, that I had something to drink, and kept me laughing with his charming demeanor. He makes it very apparent that he enjoys his career. Color, shampoo, haircut, blow dry, and style took a little less than 3 hours and the result was stunning! K made me feel like a K-drama main character walking out of the salon hahaha. His pricing is competitive - so do tip him generously! Can't wait to come back!

    There are not enough words to explain the value Toni puts into her brand. Her hair studio is not…read morethat average and you can tell when you first pull up to her shop. Once you walk in, you know you're in a salon that is clean, well valued, and have a sense of serenity! The decor is also on point and there has never been a time that I've gone that the shop has been in a disarray. What shop have you ever been to that's always spotless and smell good at all times no matter how busy it is. Toni makes sure she takes pride in her brand and is a perfect example of her work! She is always put together and never makes excuses as to why her hair or appearance is a mess and she is always professional. This is why I was shocked to see the 1 star review that was left! I'm not a hairstylist, but I do have curly hair and know that my curly hair will never be bone straight with a relaxer. A relaxer is made to straighten your hair, but a good stylist is able to keep your hair healthy by keeping the integrity of your texture, especially when you want to add color. That is one thing Toni and I have discussed when she has colored my hair in the past. Her motto is healthy hair first! She is not one of those stylist that will put chemicals in your hair without you understanding what comes with the process. I love how she has taken care of my scalp; which has allowed my hair to grow and it's the healthiest it has ever been. No more shedding! No more flakes! No more dead hair! I have a beautiful full short cut with volume and she's even gotten my thin sides to fill in. I am thankful that Toni always puts her clients first, always reinvesting in her hair studio, takes the time to always educate her clients, and most recently have made major changes to incorporate COVID changes that proves she's not playing any games with our health nor hers!

Toni agreed to do both within three weeks of each other. I asked her more than once if the relaxer would make it bone straight and she replied yes each time. A week after the relaxer I washed it and it wasn't bone straight like she said it'd be. It had an unexpected curl to it. I respectfully brought this concern and question to her via email honestly thinking I would come to a better understanding and resolution to my hair goals. She replied back explaining things to me regarding the relaxer service & process of going blonde that she failed to tell me during my initial consultation. Had she done so I would've obviously understood why my hair still had a curl to it and not questioned her about it. Instead, she decided not to do business with me ever again which I feel was out of spite due to her feeling slightly offended. She met me with the classic "I wish you the best of luck..." I've attached the factual email exchange between Toni & I and also proof that I was a client of hers & I did pay her for relaxing my hair so Yelp knows I'm genuine, legit, and voicing a real concern I had regarding my experience with this business owner/hairstylist.

There are two main components I think are important to emphasize about her work- her makeup skills, and her energy. Regarding makeup - our initial trial was thorough and very detailed.

I was adamant that even though I was putting together an Indian wedding with heavy outfits, I wanted all my makeup looks to be as natural and timeless as possible with elements of fun. Maria delivered on all of these requests, which included numerous rounds of trying different eyelash strips/lipstick colors/eyeliner shades and texting inspo pics and was always helpful and patient. I was so bummed I had to wash my face at the end of both days I had my makeup done by her! Regarding energy- Maria brought fun, lighthearted and genuine vibes that my entire family and I appreciated. Maria's ability to both keep light conversations while maintaining awareness of sensitive moments was such a gift that truly helped me enjoy the moment instead of being caught up in details. No questions about it, book Maria!!
