I've been going to Vichida for tint touch-ups and haircuts, and I can't recommend her enough. She is consistent--not just with her timing and precise application, but also with the quality of her work every single visit. What truly sets her apart is her kindness. Over the years, she has always been warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, which makes every appointment such a great experience. read more

I hardly ever write reviews but I need to give a shoutout to my wonderful hair stylist Reena, she is the best! Before Reena, I was never able to find a stylist that could so easily understand what I wanted and had the patience and skill to execute it fully. She is so flexible and creative with the methods she uses, and always keeps the health of my hair in mind. Before finding her, I had visited a different stylist for a consultation and this other stylist was planning to fully bleach my dark-blonde/faded red hair, and get it to all blonde quickly. It was such a difference to then go to Fox and Belle and have a consultation with Reena who came up with a plan to gradully get me to my blonde end-goal by first transforming my old red-dyed hair into an ombre sunset of lovely coral and peach tones to blend into my natural color (it turned out so much better than I could have imagined) and then once that had grown out and faded she was able to do a bleach-free balayage that gave me the blonde I wanted and will still look good as my roots grow out. And because of her methods, my hair feels so soft and healthy! It makes the whole process so stress-free because I know my hair is in the best hands with her. I have left each of my appointments feeling beautiful and so much more confident thanks to her. And on top of all that, Reena has given me so much great advice on what products and tools to use on my hair, how to prevent damage, and how I can style it myself. Everyone at this salon is so friendly and the environment is the most welcoming and relaxed I have experienced. I especially love how much natural light and fresh air there is in the salon. If you are thinking about booking a service here you should go for it and book it with Reena so she can work her magic on your hair! read more

Fox and Belle Salon - Before and After photo - Hair Salons Near Me - Berkeley, California

I've been with Linda Savanh for over two decades, and that alone says everything. I've followed her through multiple salons over the years, from Sacramento to San Francisco, because she is simply the best. Linda has been there through my 20s, 30s, and now my 40s, always helping transform my look while making sure it still feels like me. She is incredibly dedicated to her craft, takes the time to listen, and always gives thoughtful recommendations that I trust completely. Whether it's a fresh cut, color, or a total refresh, I always leave feeling confident and taken care of. Fox and Belle itself is one of my favorite places to be. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The salon has such an upbeat yet relaxing atmosphere--it feels welcoming, stylish, and comfortable all at once. And the snacks? Always on point! If you're looking for someone who truly cares about their clients and consistently delivers amazing results, Linda is that person. I can't recommend her enough. read more

I've been going to Vichida for about two years now, just doing haircuts at the time. When I decided to dye my hair again, I asked Vichida for her advice on natural hair colors to try out for my wedding. As usual, she's so knowledgeable and insightful with her recommendations on my hair wants and needs, and she'll always have your best interests in mind when consulting on everything hair related! She recommended a mushroom brown balayage, and I looked around on the internet for different styles. I decided I couldn't resist adding some light violet in, and she flawlessly blended it into my hair! The entire experience was so relaxing, and I was also able to get some time in to work on my own side project stuff while getting my hair done. Thank you again, Vichida, for making me feel and look amazing after every haircut, and now adding coloring to my experience with you! You're my all-time favorite! read more

I had Fox and Belle bookmarked for many years - and I will admit, kept cheaping out on either haircuts or dye jobs as I tried to find places around the East Bay. I would have saved myself a lot of time and grief had I just trusted F&B, who nailed it on the first visit, even with a brand new stylist - because they are so dedicated to quality here. I was coming in as a formerly cool blonde, scarred by a bad bleach and tone job, and ultimately trying to get back to somewhat natural brunette before an engagement shoot and months well in advance of the wedding. There was a lot of groundwork to cover, and high expectations. I admit I was probably an annoying client calling or emailing constantly to try to get the earliest possible appointment on a tight timeline, and was told many times that I may not get an artist perfectly suited to my needs, Turns out, everyone here is talented enough by virtue of being well-, thoroughly vetted on their skiills to achieve whatever you need and envision. I am not at all upset - in fact, abundantly happy - that I got Cristi/Cristina as my stylist. She has plenty of experience under her belt, and was so charming. Judy was super involved (not because Cristi was inexperienced) and discussed the vision and decisions throughout. I really am so impressed by the dedication of the whole team to making you look and most importantly, FEEL, beautiful. I honestly wish I could have made it work for my bridal look with F&B. But anyways, I'm certainly going to return for meticulous and pretty much perfect coloring, and cuts and pampering. read more

I booked Marilyn for my wedding day and couldn't be more satisfied with her work! Before my wedding day, I booked a makeup and hair trial. Marilyn traveled to my home to perform the trial - she was punctual and communicative. She took her time to understand my skin and hair type, reviewed inspo photos together, discussed what I didn't like, and was really patient with adjusting her work until I was satisfied with the look. I think our trial lasted about 3 hours and it was such a pleasant experience. I actually had another trial booked with a different MUA but decided to cancel it immediately after my experience with Marilyn because I was so confident in her work. On my wedding day, I was very overwhelmed due to having about 20 people in my hotel room at the same time. Marilyn sensed this and asked me if I would prefer to get ready in a private space. This was so helpful and appreciated - it really calmed my nerves. Throughout the process, Marilyn was very professional and kind. She also responded to my emails in a very quick manner. In short, Marilyn does great work and is a fantastic person. You need to hire her for your event! read more

After DIY-ing my hair at home for over 10 years, I decided it was time to invest in an actual professional to go blonde. I did a lot of research because 1. I have thick Asian hair that is notorious for getting stuck at orange/yellow, and 2. parts of my hair were at all different stages of bleach/dye. I found Fox and Belle and liked that they had good reviews and also lots of experience bleaching asian hair. At my first appt, Linda recommended doing full highlights (instead of bleaching everything) to achieve the same blonde look, but with easier maintenance and grow-out. We started with removing the mismatch colors and adding highlights to blend everything out - see the before and after photo for her amazing work. When I chopped off most of the old dye months later, we were able to get to the blonde look I've always wanted! I've been going for about 2 years now, and Linda always does amazing work. She is so skilled, precise, and thorough, and she really considers your hair condition and health. When I messed up my hair overseas last year, she again was able to correct my mistakes - I've learned my lesson now!! I trust her to always give the perfect tone and color to complement my complexion even when I'm very vague in what I want. My hair always grows out beautifully with no weird lines or brassy colors. Linda is also super easy to talk to - not overly chatty, and not awkwardly silent - which is nice when spending hours together. The salon itself is super cute with complementary snacks and drinks, including seltzers and wine. Everyone who works there is friendly and welcoming as well - I feel like you really can't go wrong with whoever you see. But I definitely recommend Linda for all of your hair color needs! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you want salon quality! I've been coming to this salon for years--basically since they first opened--and the service has always been consistently amazing no matter who you see. Every stylist is talented, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their clients. Huge thank you to Judy (owner) for building such an incredible team--she's truly one of the coolest and most caring bosses out there! That said, I have to give a special shoutout to my go-to girl, Lynn. Her scalp massages are next level--honestly the best in the world for me, no exaggeration. It's something I look forward to EVERY single visit (I always wish it lasted even longer lol!). She also has an incredible eye for color and style. Whether I try to describe what I want or show her a photo, she always nails it. Lynn is super polite and accommodating, and she has the perfect balance of being friendly and social while also picking up on cues when I just want to relax--especially since some of my appointments can be up to 4 hours long. The salon itself is so thoughtful--they offer cute touches like holiday goodie bags, a snack bar, and coffee/fancy teas, which really elevate the whole experience. I always leave feeling refreshed, confident, and like a brand new person with that fresh, salon-quality hair. THANK YOU LYNN! read more

I have never walked out of a salon feeling better. I have been coming here RELIGIOUSLY for the past 4 years and will vouch for every single stylist here 100%. I typically book with Linda just because she was who I started with, but there is no doubt that you cannot go wrong with any other colorist/stylist that works here. The care and service from all the wonderful women here is immaculate. They listen to your preferences here and make sure you walk out the salon with a smile on your face. Not to mention they are 3x winners of East Bay Express Salon!! The booking process is super easy, in fact they have either an IG or website that makes it easy on the eyes to find everything you're looking for. In the form to book, you add a quick idea of what you're looking to do and they get back to you for a confirmation within days and assign (or you can request) a "Fox" to you! On the day of, you will still get the in-person consultation first to make sure that you and the stylist are on the same page before getting started! In all my visits there, I have always been so amazed how my appointments are so personalized and catered to; whether its a haircut or a coloring session. I feel like this salon does a great job at taking time with their work, but also not so long that one can feel burnt out from sitting in a chair all day. You can really tell that each and every single individual has mastered their craft and is still always happy to learn new techniques or tip everyday from each other. Inside, the salon is super chic and has great vibes. They are always bumping music inside, everyone always has great energy, and they even provide free snacks + beverages (alcoholic seltzers included!)

Can't recommend enough. read more

If you're looking for someone who will actually listen, remembers your life, and makes your hair look amazing, Linda at Fox and Belle is it. I've been going to Linda for years for cuts and color, and she's consistently incredible. Fox and Belle is more than just a salon. It's warm, welcoming, and genuinely feels like a community space. I even look forward to the holiday cards from the entire salon, which says a lot about the care and relationships they build with their clients. What truly sets Linda apart is how she shows up for families. When my daughter comes with me, Linda doesn't just cut her hair and send her on her way. She teaches her about her hair texture, how to properly wash and dry it, and how to care for it at home. There was even a gentle (and very helpful) lesson on product buildup. My kid walked out with great hair and new life skills. Linda is kind, patient, wildly talented, and genuinely invested in her clients. You don't just leave Fox and Belle with good hair. You leave feeling taken care of. Highly recommend. read more

Fox & Bell has such a talented team and a lovely atmosphere. Erica is so organized and kind, and really makes the experience effortless.

I've been getting haircuts with Judy for the past 10 years, and I've always loved how well it grows out. Her work is consistently amazing. When she stepped back from behind the chair, I was so bummed, but she told me I would love Lynn and I should book with her next, and I'm so glad I did! I was able to book an appointment the same day as a bridal shower I was attending, and I received so many compliments on my hair. Needless to say, I'll always love Judy, but I think I've found my new hair gal, Lynn! read more

I wish I could leave zero stars for this place. I made the mistake of booking with Jo and spending an absolutely ridiculous $750 for a color correction and highlights, and walked out looking like a discount Halloween pumpkin. She initially made my hair too blonde/white and further ruined it with the help of the owner Judy by dousing it in toner that made it brassy and orange. It was nothing close to the cool, ashy brown we discussed and photos shared. When I reached out to express my concern and asked if they could fix the issue, the owner, Judy, was defensive and kept telling me the brass and orange color will fade.. Instead of any attempt at customer service or professionalism, she hid behind a condescending email. Her response was essentially a pretentious way of saying, "we don't want your business because we messed up and refuse to admit it." She wrote that, "we believe you may be better served by a stylist or salon whose approach aligns more closely with your preferences." In other words, if you expect to not look like a citrus fruit after spending $750, this isn't the place for you. Judy's attitude is that of a bully. She takes your money, ruins your hair, and then fires you as a customer for daring to point it out. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. read more

Very cute salon. Love the professionalism from the staff and front desk. I inquired for service online and they were very prompt in responding to my request. There was plenty of street parking for me on a Wednesday 12:45 appointment. There was also a small parking lot behind the building. Lynn cut my hair and gave me a wonderful short bob. Exactly what I needed. Refreshments were offered during my service and they have quite the selection. Will definitely return for all my hair needs. read more
