She listened to what I wanted and went through each process step by step explaining everything. The vibe is amazing, very calm, welcoming and safe. Will definitely be back and highly recommend!!!! read more

OMG!! I'm soooo happy. My granddaughters love it! It's the new me. My hair was so damaged from the oncology med that I take, very very thin. With major hair loss. I showed her a pic of the cut I hoped she could achieve; one word: outstanding!!! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The salon is small and most importantly very clean. Would I recommend Hair by Glynis? YES, in a New York Minute. read more

Glynis is a stylist extraordinaire! She provides excellent customer service and demonstrates a commitment to hair health offered with warmth and genuine hospitality. I am a transplant to the area and have found my hair and heart home with Glynis! (Not to mention how many compliments I get on my haircut!). She's the BEST! read more

I found Glynis after a long search for a local hair stylist & I regret not finding her sooner. She has a fabulous immaculate studio in a nice location between South & Central Berkeley off Shattuck Avenue at Ashby. Glynis is professional, prompt & personable & her communication is on point. She has a knack for not only listening to her clients' requests & concerns, but she also makes great suggestions while respecting the clients' aesthetic. I highly recommend her to single fathers who are struggling with their children's 4c or 3 c hair, I also recommend her to anyone who has been avoiding trims because they may have anxiety issues about getting 'the big chop'. Glynis will only trim your hair in increments imperceptibly & you will love the results as you watch her bring your hair to life once she trims those dead ends you've been clinging to for dear life. I also really appreciate the clients in her studio as well because they have a lot of class while also being down to earth , which is a rare but winning combination nowadays in most places, but especially hair salons! read more

So happy to have found Glynis. She is a real gem! Professional, skilled, and personable. Got a great touch-up and cut, and the salon is modern and immaculate. read more

My hair looked great! She did a wonderful job and I did NOT get a perm! Thank you so much Glynis!

Update: Glynis was able to work her magic and was able to set my daughter up with Mary (Braids) and she exceeded both of our expectations. Looking forward to our next appt. It was a pleasurable experience. read more

I have been in the awkward stage of growing out a pixi which I love, but wanted a bit more length for added warmth during the Fall/Winter. There seems to be a shortage of good stylists who cut naturally thin, curly, wavy hair in my vicinity. They are either on vacation, sick, or shop has completely shutdown with no notice! When I discovered Hair by Glynis I jumped at the opportunity to pay a visit hoping for a same day trim. She was already styling a client and said that she doesn't do walk-ins, but after seeing the state of my hair was able to book me an early morning appointment the next day. Glynis has a warm, friendly, personality which I truly appreciate. She explained being a sole proprietor, it is important for her to view individuals' hair in advance. She can then schedule enough time depending on the type of hair-styling is needed. Makes perfect sense to me, just noting for future clients. I showed Glynis a few photos of what I had in mind, and she did a wonderful job staying true to the vision! I even returned to show off the finished look after adding some makeup and jewelry (I would post a pic, but I'm in the witness protection plan so I'm on here incognito LOL). I am very happy with my fresh cut, and will be back for more. read more

Glynis is a STAR! Glynis is a master at her craft - a disciplined and talented stylist who works miracles with every type of hair - straight, curly, wavy, thick, thin, short, long.. or somewhere in the middle. I've tried several salons in the San Francisco and the East Bay and after too many years of average service, I finally discovered the Real Deal! Glynis knows what customer service means and consistently over delivers. Finally no more endless hours spent in the salon on a Saturday for a hair style, trim, cut or color that I didn't request. Glynis gets me in and out and on my way! So happy I found a stylist who not only listens and pays attention to detail, but does so with grace, humor, a warm smile and welcoming spirit. Hair By Glynis is a unexpected Berkeley Oasis. Wish I had found her sooner! Call in advance to book an appointment - she is popular. read more

Glynis is very professional and she is always about her customers first. She is very timely and mindful about getting her clients in and out in a timely fashion. She does not overbook, unlike most stylists! She is serious about her clients' hair, taking care of it and making sure she does what is best not to damage hair but to make sure it remains healthy and vibrant. Every time I walk out of the shop my hair is complimented by strangers. She does great work. Her clientele have been with her for years consistently following her from location to location no matter how far. But now she has her OWN shop and she is running things like a boss should. You will not be disappointed. This is not the type of shop you will spend hours in......don't waste your time, with stylists who will literally waste your time!!! read more

I'm currently working for the summer at the University of California, Berkeley. I live in Florida, and I am extremely particular when it comes to doing my hair. I have my own product with me, but I needed a professional to do the color. I read the reviews on some of the salons in my area. Miss Glynis had a perfect track record, and everyone was satisfied and left glowing reviews of her work. I called and I loved the fact that she was able to see me at 5am! I love it! She did such a wonderful job on my hair that I received many compliments at the supermarket, department stores, and at a restaurant. I am definitely a satisfied customer! read more

I got a pretty drastic haircut. I went in for a trim, but Ms. Glynis had a vision & told me "I think you should show your neck!" I am Indian & I have thick, curly hair and a lot of it. I've been several places where stylists have been intimidated by my hair and if I ever ask for anything different I usually get met with worried excuses about why what I want won't work with my hair. It's often that I get told what I should NOT to do with my hair; it's extremely rare that I get told what I should do. So I got used to saying "keep it the same style - just a trim, please". But when Glynis looked at me for the first time & immediately had this bold vision for my hair, I was excited. Nobody whose chair I've ever sat in has ever been so sure & confident about my hair and so I told her to go with it. And she didn't hesitate! It's basically the first time ever that my hair actually looks like it knows what it's doing. It's fun & cute and a really good cut. Thank you for this welcome change, Ms. Glynis. I'd honestly deal with an ugly personality to get a cut like this since I don't come by this type of skill too often, but not only does Glynis cut beautifully, she has a personality to match. read more

Glynis was wonderful as per usual. There were precautions in place (i.e. wearing masks, using hand sanitizer, only the customer getting their hair done in the shop, disinfecting surfaces) to protect from COVID-19. So glad to finally get my hair done and feel safe about doing so! read more

I was referred to Glynis by my sister. I am new to Berkeley and she made me feel welcome right away--fit me in her schedule the day after I called and I am floored by her hair styling abilities. She listened to my needs and gave me the best cut I have ever received--in only minutes! I went from feeling drab to glam in one sitting. She gave me product knowledge and gave me personalized service, even though she was holding down the salon by herself and assisting several people all at the same time! I highly recommend Glynis for your hair needs--no matter what texture you have. For professional, friendly and superior service see Glynis! read more

Hair By Glynis - love my new do! Hair by Glynis is the best! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Berkeley, California

Holy cow Glynis is amazing! She is so warm and lovely :) I haven't had much luck with stylists in the past and have really frizzy/unmanageable hair, and she tamed it seamlessly! Also, I have a bit of social anxiety and was super nervous about sitting with a stranger for awhile- there was nothing at ALL to be worried about! I have found my hair stylist! Thank you, Glynis!!! read more

Glynis is what you want in a hair stylist. She has been my hair stylist since she moved to her new location on Shattuck which is 2 minutes away from my house ( I am the luckeist girl in the world couldnt ask for a better set-up ;) As mentioned Glynis does amazing work and the atmosphere coupled with her clientele makes this the ideal for anyone. She stays current and ahead of hair trends and will always challange you to step your game up. You wont find yourself waisting an entire day in the salon as she remains professional and gets you in and out. You can relax and wont have to be harrassed by bootleggers trying to sell you knock-off purses or CD's or DVD's as she has a unwritten "no solicitating policy" lol ok really Im the one who likes to enforce that unwritten rule. All in all Mrs. G. is a wonderful spirit and if your like me you dont want just anybody doing your hair, if want someone thats going to respect your hair and your time Glynis is highly recommended. read more

Took my daughter here for a re-do of a recent short haircut she got somewhere else. Glynis took a look at the photo my daughter had brought in and then proceeded to give her the cutest cut ever! It was kind of amazing to watch. Besides being talented, she is also very sweet and she accommodated a last-minute change our schedule to make it easy for us to come in asap. Will be back! read more

Glynis does amazing work. Her salon has an intimate, boutique atmosphere and her prices are reasonable. She specializes in African-American cuts, colors and relaxers and can give you consultation on any questions. I have been her client for 10 years and in that time she's cropped my hair like Halle Berry, weaved me up like The Real Housewives and kept my relaxed hair healthy and conditioned. The vibe here is very chill, unpretentious and there are no obnoxious clients to worry about. This is due to Glynis's friendly and inclusive personality. She is a lovely and approachable person. Not only is she an expert stylist, she is also a trusted confidant. read more

Glynis is the sweetest! She took me in last minute and I have never met a hair stylist that was so friendly! We talked about hair and Hawaii, and she was just a lot of fun. She welcomed me to the neighborhood and I definitely felt the love from her. I will be coming again once it's time for my haircut! Thank you, Glynis read more

My hair LOVES Glynis! Each salon visit is a delightful experience. Love Glynis and the time and attention she pays to me and my hair. Glynis is an expert. You can't go wrong with your hair in her hands. read more

My hair has never looked better, nor have I received as many compliments since Glynis started doing my hair. I get stopped so frequently about my hair, that I have had to ask Glynis for more business cards twice. She is a perfectionist, ensuring that everything that she does exceeds your expectations. She understands your expectations and desires because she takes the time to listen to them before doing anything. She is skilled. Some stylist do one thing well. Glynis cuts and colors expertly. She is diverse: her clientele and the type of hair she services, varies. On her talent alone, I'd highly recommend her; but I must add that she is so fun, friendly, and kind. Going to get a treatment from her is like going to a friend's house and having the best conversation that you have had all week. Glynis truly is "as good as it gets!" read more

Ms Glynis is an amazing hair stylist! She is always pleasant, professional and timely! Come check her out and tell a friend!

I've had relaxers and cuts done by many people and was never truly satisfied. I started going to Glynis and have yet to trust anyone else besides her with my hair. She knows exactly what she is doing. I don't live in the Bay Area but its is definitely worth the trip. I even have a friend from Portland who comes to get her hair cut by Glynis! read more
