My babygirl's trim
Jerry Z.

Since my mom had my daughter's waist-length hair chopped off, It was impossible to get her to a hairstylist even for just a trim. She finally grew her length back but it was so unmaintained- being an 8 year old, and uneven- as she has not allowed anyone to touch it for a good 5 years! After lots of convincing and bribing, I booked an appointment with Alicia and I finally got my daughter to agree to a trim the day of the appointment itself. Alicia was so mindful to achieving my daughter's hair goals that she had her look up some haircuts before hand for inspiration, and ensured my girl by saying she was going to do the best she could to keep the length and add a few layers - and she did! My daughter walked out with her hair all smooth and silky. Infact, my daughter was so comfortable with Alicia that I even got to sneak out to the mall's food court! I came back in for my trim about a week later, and I was definitely not disappointed! I bleached myself blonde and simply got tired of how weak and damaged my ends looked so covered it all up with some black henna dye. I usually do my hair at home- since hairstyling prices are too crazy nowadays and I am just scared leaving with something shorter than I would want to leave with. Alicia maintained my length and carefully cut off all my split ends for a very reasonable price. She even washed, conditioned and styled it, making me feel super special. The whole interaction was so great as she kept me laughing in conversation while thoroughly focusing on my hair. A full 5 stars to Hella Hair for the service and the gorgeous end result. Will totally recommend to the girlfriends (and guys too- she does beard trims and all!!!)

Line, taper, and comb twists.

If you're looking for a great barber/stylist, I HIGHLY recommend Alicia. I am really picky about my barbers and she has become my go to person in the Bay Area -- so much so that I drive down from Oakland to Newark for appointments with her. From a line and taper to comb twists, she can do it all!

Thanks Alicia for my gorgeous hair. You always do my hair amazing. Thanks again.

Followed my girl Alicia to Fremont! Love my hair! Thank you Thank you Thank you! Great location. The salon is clean and friendly!

I wish i had a before, but this is 5mos after Alicia had to give me a good cut.. no more damaged ends & growing healthy!!!
Starr W.

Wonderful service! I've been natural for 6yrs now but Alicia started doing my hair in March 2019 & after she evaluated my hair in comparison to my own goals ... it was decided that she had to cut some INCHES off, which i was ok with because my goal is health not length! Here it is 5mos down the line & my hair is not only growing beautifully but most importantly HEALTHY! Best decision yet was trusting her with my natural hair, not to mention her hair washes are the best ever!! Ms. Magic Handz forreal

I live in Stockton and HAPPILY drive to Newark just so Alicia can do my hair. Shes phenomenal and takes such great care with my hair! I love her styling expertise and can always count on looking and feeling great when I leave Hella Hair!!! Alicia has styled me hair in couls, rod set curls, flat iron, latches, and some sweet cuts.and tapering. Super happy and blessed client for life!!!

Full sew in weave

Happy client here! I sent Alicia a photo of a hair weave sew in that I was inspired to replicate and she did such a great job at doing this style. The color was something different than I'm used to wearing and she installed, cut and styled it just right. I'd definitely recommend Hella Hair if you're looking for a great sew in weave, cut, or style!

If you are looking for a hair artist who truly works magic, look no further than Lanh!…read more She was able to squeeze me in for a last-minute appointment on a Sunday. Even though she was finishing up with the client before me, I barely had to wait at all when I arrived. I went with a wet cut (layers in the front with curtain bangs) and style, and I cannot recommend this option enough. Lanh is amazingly talented. She takes a look at your current hair situation, suggests what will actually look best, and is completely honest and realistic about your hair goals. The blowouts? Absolutely gorgeous! I honestly did not know my hair could look or feel this good. She removed almost all of my damaged ends, leaving my hair feeling healthier and looking so much more voluminous than before. I left the salon loving my cut so much. Lanh is officially my go-to!

I first met Kayla back in 2018 when she was still working at a different salon. As a busy working…read moremom, it's hard for me to find time for self-care, and getting my hair done every 3 months is usually the only thing I make time for. Because I don't get many opportunities to relax, I truly appreciate every appointment with Kayla. She's so gentle that I almost always end up taking a quick nap while she's doing my hair! My favorite part is when she washes my hair. Her amazing head and neck massage is such a relaxing treat. One thing I really love about Kayla is that she knows how to read her clients. She lets me enjoy the quiet and doesn't fill my time with unnecessary small talk like some salons do. Those few peaceful hours are exactly what I need. That's why I've stayed with her all these years and even followed her when she opened her own salon. I've also trusted her with my mom, my husband, my two boys, and several friends. They all love her work, and I always get compliments on my hair. On top of that, her salon is always clean, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. She's also incredibly thoughtful and always offers coffee or a drink to make her clients feel comfortable. My only advice: book your appointment well in advance because she's that good--and she's almost always fully booked!

absolutely horrible experience. idk if its a Vagaro scheduling issue if thats what we're calling it…read moreor simply unprofessional stylist. Woke up early today Saturday to take my mother for her first ever hair appt scheduled for 9. We get there 9:12 (i believe) and theres a stylist there already working. States the stylist Sarah is on her way. To me is a red flag as if youre doing color & highlights your station would at least be prepped already.. we waited sitting there till 9:45 hoping she would show up..never showed up. The stylist there was kind enough to call her again (no answer) and offered my mom help but i declined. We set this appointment up for her as we have a party later today and had the time slot specifically for this. Waste of time & waste of a drive to sit there for about 40 minutes hoping she would show. This literally ruined the day. Didnt get a follow up call or nothing. Like i said idk if its a schedule issue or something that i did on my end wrong? but i have the screenshot of the email & confirmation of the appt for today.

As I was looking for a place to get my hair done in the area, I stumbled upon this on Yelp and the…read morereviews looked really nice. I gave a call and spoke with Rheina -- she is such an angel!! She was so patient, helpful, and so knowledgeable on how to help just based on the information I gave over the phone. She was able to get me booked and then my Mom on Mother's Day. They are usually closed on Sunday but she was SO kind to come in just for her. My Mom felt so special and relaxed in the chair. Sooo relaxed that she took a nap. When it was my appointment, I felt so seen/understood! Ive never had a stylist before, every-time I got my haircut it was strictly business and no conversations were had. Whereas, Rheina was a whole different experience. She really wants to get to know her clients and made me feel so welcome from the get-go. Also, I didn't even know this when I booked here but this establishment is Filipina women-owned (Daphne) and Rheina is also Filipina too. As a Filipina-women, I felt so happy and at home being surrounded by such genuine, warm, and talented women!! The ambience and amenities offered here were so beautiful and well-maintained. I definitely felt pampered. Also, shoutout to Jack (Daphne's dog) for being the sweetest little guy that kept coming for pets/scratches. So cute!

Melissa was great. I have very thin hair. I didn't want too…read moremuch cut off and Melissa listened and accommodated me. Only about 1 inch all around. She was very gentle and caring. She made my very thin hair look like a medium head of hair. It's been 6 months since I had a haircut. I only need to go about every 12 weeks or so. Melissa agreed and we set another appt within that timeframe. No problem. I feel like Melissa had the skills that I needed for my kind of hair. I'm very pleased. I'm so happy that I finally found someone I can trust. I highly recommend Melissa. The salon was very nice and clean. I liked that too. I'm looking forward to my next appointment.

Before and after with Sheila…read more It's been so long since I've done anything to my hair. It's been since 2017! I found Sheila through Google then Instagram. I loved the work she posted on IG and reached out via text. I sent her what I was looking for and she was super responsive, helpful and nice! We scheduled a consultation and prices what I wanted out into 2 sessions and went through the steps of what she would do. My first session was a cut and dye I had asked to try and match my natural color as close as possible and she did! It was almost identical! I then we scheduled the highlights. I did give her an idea of what I wanted but told her to go with the flow. And it came out so good! I love her work and will be back! Thanks again Sheila! This Mama feels brand new. (Pic with Red door was before my sessions with Sheila, my natural color before cut, dye and highlight)

Kim took such good care of my hair. I really appreciated her patience and how she took the time to…read morelisten to my likes, dislikes, needs, and concerns. Given my hair history, I was particularly concerned about maintaining my hair health, and Kim was honest about what we could achieve and discussed the best approach with me. From the initial consultation to the actual service, she was responsive and patiently answered my many questions. I never felt rushed, and I appreciated the time and attention she gave my hair throughout the process. For the first time in many years, my scalp didn't feel irritated or tingly after a highlights and color service. That was a big deal for me! I also really enjoyed chatting with Kim throughout the appointment. She shared some inspiring stories from her life, and we had some lovely conversations about cooking, gardening, and movies. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I left the salon really happy with my hair and grateful to have found someone who listens, is honest, and genuinely cares about the health of my hair. Thank you, Kim!

The absolute best at Excellent Hair Salon!…read more Came in for a color correction due to an error that was caused by someone else at another hair salon. Needless to say, Kelly was patient and understanding, listening to my vent about my hair and experience from the previous salon. She was knowledgeable and I trusted her judgment and suggestion. During my wait, Kelly had offered me a drink and snack. Two hours later, my hair is looking wonderful, Kelly did an amazing job; very happy with the results! Overall, very peaceful and calming experience. Incredible results! Would highly recommend Kelly at Excellent Hair Salon -- the best hair salon in Newark!
