5-star experience! I came to Katie for a total hair rescue! And boy did she do her thing- she is so much fun and full of life, passionate about her work and very knowledgeable! She and her studio have the best music place list, creating a GREAT vibe! I have to admit I came to her with not much of a canvas to work with however she did an amazing job... before & after pictures plus descriptions below! The 3rd of October 2025- I chopped off all my hair (previously a good way down my back) and I don't do short hair- I never have and never will again! After months of feeling like an imposter, I came in for a consultation with Katie to see about getting some extensions put in. And she jumped at the challenge and said "Heck yeah, we can do this!" I am absolutely thrilled with my hair! And, I'm glad I am so glad I found the perfect person to help me gain my confidence back and begin to feel like "ME" again! read more

Katie Anderson impressed me with her skill and precision. She took the time to explain my hair--ideal length, the role of genetics, proper cleansing and styling, and how certain chemicals can damage ends. I loved her confidence and uplifting energy. We need more women like that. I left with shorter hair than planned, but no regrets--it's softer, healthier, and full of volume and dimension. She used Leaf & Flower products, and while I didn't purchase them yet, I'm excited to finally have hair I want to show off instead of manage. Thank you, Katie, for guiding me toward what's best and making it look incredible. Talented, dynamic, and truly a hair goddess read more

I love how Katie at hair tech takes care of my hair. I have curly hair and having been coming for a year to get organic color, cuts and keratin. Online booking is convenient and it's like hanging out with your best friend. Highly recommend, read more

Katie is a hair angel!! I came in with dry, damaged thin fine hair feeling like a frumpy old hag and left with hair smoother, silkier, shinier and looking thicker than I ever thought possible! She even kept the length I thought I'd have to give up. The color she used not only looks natural, it is all natural and left me looking younger! Those were the words of friends and family! It was truly a life changing experience! I'm sure anyone going to her will leave loving their hair too! read more

10/10. Found my hair salon "home." Quick trim of bangs and she spun gold. I asked her to give me Selena bangs with a Gen Z upgrade. And she delivered. Will be coming back every time!! read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Katie! From the moment I walked into her gorgeous space, I felt instantly at ease.

Katie listened so intuitively to what I needed, and somehow managed to bring out the best version of me. I walked out not just with amazing hair, but feeling like myself again--grounded, confident, and refreshed.

Absolutely horrendous customer service and poor experience. I would not recommend this business AT ALL. The did not show up for the scheduled appointment and then instead of offering an apology or acknowledging the mistake, they just hung up. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing. read more

Over rated in ability to cut sophisticated hair style. The push for more services products are annoying. Although the overwhelming friendliness is appreciated, the high pressure for expensive services is not. read more

I had a wonderful experience getting my hair cut by Katie. Besides being talented with her skill with hair, you want to be instant friends with her. My last sylist recently moved and I was needing to find someone new and I am excited to have met Katie. She did a great evaluation before and gave me the cut I didn't even know I wanted. I will be back! read more

The quality, the vibes, everything about Katy is great! She's been in the Hair Tech industry for 15 years and I have to say, she's personable and she knows what she's doing! I gave her an inspiration photo of a cut I want, and she nailed it! She truly made me feel very welcomed and knows how to have a good time! I found her through Groupon and they were having an early Black Friday Deal, and I'm really happy to give her a chance! I might've found my new Hair Tech that I can go to whenever I need my hair done! She made my hair feel so nice and soft after the cut! I feel like a whole new person! This place is appointments only, and she communicates well through text! Her appointments are usually 1 week out, so book ahead! This place is all street parking, so be mindful of the meter (2 hour max) or get dropped off! I will be back Katie, for a color service! I'm pregnant at the moment and she has hair colors that are all organic, which is perfect for expecting mothers who still want a pop of color! Much appreciated :) read more

My first haircut with Katie was both fun and informative besides delivering a great cut.I'm particular tho so I waited a bit to see how it grew out and it just got better and better and I got lots of compliments! Hairtech's easy to find with street parking right out front too and it's got a creative vibe with fun art. Looking forward to my next cut! read more

Katie is truly an artist. I went in for a trim and deep conditioning treatment and walked out with silky, healthier looking hair than I've had in years. I love that she uses all organic products. I emphasized that I wanted a low maintenance, flattering style. Within minutes of the consultation she recommended ideas I'd been thinking about for a long time, alongside the products and solutions needed to accomplish. Plus, her salon is gorgeous and she's super fun to chat with. Looking forward to having great hair. Thank you!! read more

I came in for the first time tonight and absolutely loved the salon, the ambience, the decor,. The owner did my hair and she is fucking awesome, great personality, she listened and genuinely cares and wants to give you the results that you are looking for. She also gave me a CBD hair treatment that literally left my hair feeling like silk. If you're looking for a new salon to go to I highly recommend checking out hair tech in Alameda. read more

Katie did a fabulous job with my hair. I went in with long hair with gray roots and needed a good cut and some highlights. She did it all plus a keratin treatment and CBD too. She blew it straight as I asked and flat ironed it. It looked amazing for thanksgiving. So many compliments. And a money piece! Hah. Who knew?! I just washed it after a week because my hair does not get greasy and I had a sore back. I used the CBD shampoo and conditioner I bought there at the salon. Great. My hair is curly again but not frizzy or bushy. Soft and shiny air-dried, finger- combed, with a little Hair oil after and Brilliantine. The CBD little brush oil for the flyaways. Thanks, Kate! read more

Katie took over doing my hair after my stylist of 20 years retired. She totally upped my game. She has been doing a cut and color that total strangers admire, like stopping me in the produce section at Safeway to compliment my hair. And it's 100% her; I just told her do what you think will look good. So, she's got the touch. read more

KATIE RULES. It's so much fun coming to see her - the music is good and the fun is FUN! (But you came here for a hair review). Let's just say I haven't gotten my hair done this frequently before in my entire life. I love her adventurous spirit with coloring and cutting my hair- confidence boosts every time I come! I've always had those little frizzy flyaways framing my face, and all it took was a Keratin treatment- which Katie introduced me to! she takes such good care of me and my hair! I'll post pics of all my iterations over the last few months. read more

I had my hair cut with Katie a few months ago and had such a great experience! I wanted something new but had no idea what would look good, so I let Katie do whatever she thought would work best- she nailed it! I got so many compliments on my haircut.

Katie is INCREDIBLE! Friendly, outgoing, listens to exactly what you want (no picture necessary) & ROCKS the style & cut and color EVERY time! She is also incredibly talented when it comes to kids haircuts as well! Both my daughters (ages 10 & 6) rave about their haircuts! HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Katie's the first hairstylist I completely trust with my curly hair! She gave me the exact cut I wanted and dyed my hair a gorgeous purple that lasted for months and faded beautifully. When I came back for another appointment, she put a glaze on my hair and matched the faded color EXACTLY. Unlike other hairstylists I've been to, she's not scared to go short when that is requested. She's a hair magician (and lovely to talk to)! read more
