    Keeping this review short & sweet...just like my hair cut. Basically, I love this shop. Its very professional, very clean, very edgy, and I have had positive experiences with the staff here every since I have been going. My stylist is Mia Robinson...Mia's hair cutting is precise and she is open to her client's suggestions. Every time I walk out of there I am completely satisfied. Great hair shop!

    I moved to the East Bay from Chicago last summer, and I've been dragging my feet with finding a new hair stylist, because I've had bad experiences in the past. Its always hard to find a good hair place. I found GlamSity on Yelp and it had great reviews (plus it's in a convenient location!) so I decided to give them a try. I tried out their online booking system and I was delighted that they had a Saturday morning opening for the next week. I haven't had a Saturday hair appointment in years - they usually book up months in advance! So I was excited. I booked online and received a confirmation text. I showed up on time for my appointment Saturday morning, but unfortunately they did not have my appointment in their system! :( However, everyone there was super nice and friendly, and one of their stylists (Tamar) took care of me right away, which I am super appreciative for. Tamar is amazing! She asked good questions to get a sense of what I typically do with my hair. She applied a relaxer touch-up, gave me a relaxing wash, and then styled my hair perfectly. I told her I wanted loose curls and she gave me beautiful, beach-y, wavy curls that I LOVED! I got so many compliments that day. And as the style fell throughout the week, it still looked cute and wavy. Thanks, Tamar! I've already booked my next touch up appointment, again on a Saturday! And they accept credit cards. Mind blown! Please note: avoid the online reservation system! Call instead. And they will call you one day before your appointment to confirm.

    After the wedding and back to my natural everyday look!

I have had two haircut haircuts there - the first one by Georgina and the second with Itzel - and I can honestly say that these are two of the best haircuts I've ever had. I am very particular about what I want my hair to look like and how I want it to lay, and both of them were so understanding of my pickiness, both wonderful listeners and very skilled at their artistry. Also the owner Susie is just the warmest and sweetest. The salon just feels very accessible, everyone is genuinely and down to earth - and I am very grateful to have found it! Yay

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.

She's also part of a network of artists who can step in if something unexpected happens, which gave me extra peace of mind leading up to the big day.
