    This is Maria

    MARIA, cut my hair on a last minute walk- in, and I couldn't have been happier with this 30 minute cut. She been cutting for five years and it shows!

    I will never try to buzz my own hair (outside of quarantine anyway) again. It's embarrassing to say how much I've spent on great cuts but not done the proper upkeep in between. Maria is thorough, detail oriented and super sweet. All the thumbs up

    My cut from earlier today. My cuts always look fresh for at least 2 weeks!

    I have been a client of Erik's since before he opened up his Berkeley establishment and if there is one word I would use to describe his work is... CRAFTSMANSHIP! This man is an artist in the flesh and I never leave disappointed! The shop is in a great location with lots of free parking in the neighborhood! They play great music if you're waiting and usually play some type of sports on the big screen. Erik is my guy. Final Note: He's the best in the biz and cuts all types of hair but he's also a busy man, so walk-ins are more than welcome, but the best way to get a cut is to book an appointment through his Instagram @estayfaded

    CJ hooked me up today! Felt like I lost 10 lbs after cutting off the covid hair helmet I had going. He did a great job, super reasonable prices, down to earth vibe in the shop. Def recommend!

    I'd been in Berkeley for three weeks straight, about two weeks past my last haircut, and the…read moresituation was becoming untenable. I was not scheduled to return to LA for several more weeks. We were having an 87-degree day in West Berkeley, which -- for those unfamiliar -- is hot for West Berkeley, a neighborhood where the default setting is breezy and cloudy and lovely and sixty-three degrees, the kind of microclimate that lets you own one jacket and never think about it. Eighty-seven degrees in West Berkeley is an event. Eighty-seven degrees with hair that's two weeks past due is a crisis. I have Asian hair. I've written about this before. It is coarse and thick and grows outward like a porcupine asserting its personal space, and my coping mechanism in Los Angeles was to throw $85 at a hipster barbershop every three weeks to make it stop. This worked in the way that all expensive coping mechanisms work -- reliably, but at a cost that quietly compounds until one day you do the annual math and feel ill. 2026 being what it is, and a dollar these days being asked to do about a dollar forty's worth of work, I needed a new tack. I asked an AI assistant for a good cheap haircut in Berkeley and got several suggestions, which I then searched on Yelp -- yes, the very Yelp you are looking at, imagine that -- for reviews. One thing I noticed about La Petite was that people mentioned Asian women cutting hair there, and the photos confirmed it. I had a thought, the kind of thought that sounds reductive when you say it out loud but is grounded in lived experience: Asian women probably know how to deal with hair like mine. This is not a stereotype. This is pattern recognition developed over decades of watching non-Asian barbers stare at my head with the quiet bewilderment of someone asked to solve a math problem in a language they don't speak. No shade intended, just facts. So I gave La Petite a go. You watch closely when someone new is cutting your hair. You can't help it. You're tracking every snip in the mirror, reading their hands the way you'd read a stranger's driving in the first five minutes of a road trip -- are we safe here, does this person know what they're doing, should I have said something three turns ago. About halfway through, I watched her take volume out of my hair in a way that hadn't been done in years -- not just trimming the length but actually understanding the architecture of thick Asian hair, where the bulk lives, how it falls, how it will eventually grow out, where it needs to be thinned so it lies flat instead of projecting horizontally from your skull like it's staging a protest. She knew. I knew she knew. I had my new stylist. Twenty-eight dollars. Twenty-eight dollars, and I walked out with the best haircut I've had in longer than I'd like to admit. That's $57 left over from what I was paying in LA -- enough to buy groceries, or three martinis at happy hour, or a pizza at June's, or whatever you buy when you realize you've been dramatically overpaying for a basic human service because you confused a cool neighborhood and exposed brick with competence. La Petite has neither exposed brick nor a cocktail menu. What it has is someone who looked at my difficult hair and knew exactly what to do with it, which is the only thing that has ever mattered and the only thing I'm paying for from now on.

    I went to get a haircut Friday afternoon for a special occasion and showed them exactly what I…read morewanted: a classic Ben Affleck Bruce Wayne-style haircut with regular-sized sideburns, just like the character. They asked me if I was graduating, and I said no, I was meeting my fiancée's mom the next day. Five minutes before the haircut was finished, the stylist took a big chunk off my right sideburn. She cut it too high, which ruined the whole haircut, especially since my face shape doesn't suit short sideburns. I told her I didn't like it. I didn't overreact or yell, I was just uncomfortable. The hairdresser said, "Too bad!" and tried to dismiss the issue. I told her again that she should have asked me about the length. She then took it personally and told her boss that I was making things up so I wouldn't pay, saying, "They do this so they don't pay." What do you mean by "they"? Not only did I feel dismissed and treated unprofessionally, but also disrespected. I was upset after the whole situation, but even then I was willing to pay and didn't want to leave without paying because I didn't want to prove her point. Plus, it's not that expensive. At the end, the stylist said she had 40 years of experience. Well, after this, it feels like you wasted 40 years and somehow skipped the basics of customer service. Not coming back, even after being offered a free haircut. I would rather pay three times what I paid today for a standard service where you're treated with basic courtesy.

    Updating my review just one week later:…read more A second positive experience. I got my roots re-bleached with Larissa and had a positive experience and thought the pricing was fair. She was also fun to chat with and I never felt pressured to spend more money with her - for example I asked her if I could decide later on if I wanted to tone the bleach. She was also very patient in answering my questions. I thoroughly appreciate it! Also to add on to my last review about Andrew that I forgot to mention - he was able to translate my request into a haircut I was happy with (I told him I was preparing for a job interview and wanted a haircut that fit the image). Also throughout the week, I actually got a lot of compliments. My advice about calling right when the store opens remains - I called right at opening this past Sunday at 11AM and I was already 6th in line. Also would recommend calling ahead even though they accept walk ins - I was seeing people walking in getting told they were overbooked. They do have a small parking lot that is metered, but parking is free on Sundays. I love how so far in my experience with The Shop, I have never felt pressured by anyone to spend more money on products they sell. The people working here genuinely seem to want to support you as a client. I would still highly recommend for anyone searching for an affordable, but solid quality haircut place in the East Bay.

Since I moved to Easy Bay many years ago from the city, I have not been able to find a hairdresser I would go to regularly. So I drove to the city to see my old friend and my formal to go hairdresser. She cuts my hair short and says " see you in a year". But then she retired. On a Sunday walk, I ventured out of my usual path, and my luck struck. I passed by the corner of 44 th / Telegraph and discovered this hair salon. I searched on Yelp and read customers' praise. I called him and set an appointment. It is pandemic time, how does he handle the situation? He wore a mask. He cleaned out the room after the previous customer. He sprayed the room with an air cleanser, then left the door open for few minutes. He then led me in. He handed me an eye shield to cover my eyes which effectively protected me from any possible droplet. He handed me hand sanitizer before I left. He assessed my hair first, then asked how I would like it cut. I showed him a photo. He got right to work. My eye shield fogged up, I could not see how my hair was cut. But I felt very much at ease. Not worried about my haircut at all. After a meticulous and masterful cut, he washed my hair with a gentle scalp massage and a neck massage. This is almost the best part of the experience. Them came the layer by layer blow dry and styling. My hair turned out exactly what I asked him for, only better. K is an experienced hairstylist. He is gentle and patient. He pays attention to detail and style. You also get great music ( jazz) to enjoy and relax. I left there with a great feeling and a better look. I am so glad I found my hairdresser. Payment: he accepts credit cards, Apple Pay, and cash. So it is convenient. The appointment is easy to make. I called him. I read that you can also text him. Stress-free
