High Maintenance - New hair new me - Hair Extensions Near Me - San Leandro, California

The BEST weave specialist in the Bay Area. I travel 60 miles to get my hair done by Tameka and/or Kenya. I've had both do my hair and I've never been disappointed. I tell them the style that I want and all I have to do is sit back and leave the rest to them. The results look very natural and professional. I have bought hair from Tameka and she has dyed it for me (at no extra cost) and I have brought in my own hair and she will work with whatever you have. They are very professional and they get you in and out fast. If you have an appointment at 2 p.m., they are ready for you at 2. They also know about the best diet pills to take. It never fails they know what works. I've been going to this hair salon for at least 4-5 years. My 18 year old daughter now goes to them too. I highly recommend Tameka (the owner) and Kenya. read more

See all

It wasn't a well done job at all, the braids are visible and weaves began to fall off in the second day. Tamika tried to fix it in the following week but it failed still. When I text her warning that my braids still show, she simply did not answer me anymore. So, Be careful before deciding to try it. It was the worth sew-in I've ever had in my whole life. read more

Tamika has been taking care of my hair for a little over 2 years. Her salon is welcoming and everyone there makes you feel comfortable and they all treat you like family. My hair is strong, healthy and long. I wear weaves because they are convenient and beautiful. She takes wonderful care of my natural hair as well as my weaves. Tamika Rocks! read more

Roughly 6 weeks ago I went to another hairstylist seeking a new look and decided to try a weave for the first time. After the stylist did my hair, I was disappointed with the final product. In short, the hair did not look natural, I was overcharged and the stylist did not listen to my direction. After attempting to work with my hair for 8 weeks, I decided to go to High Maintenance to take the weave out and straighten my natural hair. Upon arrival to High Maintenance, I was greeted warmly and instantly felt comfortable. I had an appointment with Tameka who is professional and knows Hair. She listened to my concerns, examined my hair and convinced me to try a weave again to achieve the look I wanted now. Tameka did not disappoint and I have no regrets! My hair is beautiful and is exactly what I wanted! If you're looking for a stylist who listens, educates you on how to take care of your hair, gives you the look you're looking for, is professional, and is affordable, Tameka at High Maintenance is the hairstylist for you. read more

I agree, with the reviews I have read. The other two females in the salon work is beautiful. I would not recommend Having Ashely do your sew in weave. I will not be returning back to this salon. Had a terrible experiment. Ashely, needs more practice on her work and my head isn't her demo. I'm very disappointed and feel like I wasted my money. I give it a 1star do to the fact the salon was clean. read more

I've been coming to Kenya for 3 years now. Not only is the service fast and friendly, I've also seen noticeable improvement on my hair'a length and texture. As a bonus, they ALWAYS have top quality hair extensions. read more

I have been doing my own weaves for years (I'm good at it) but was tired of the time it took to do it. My daughter recommended I try Tamika and I haven't done my hair since. I'm very picky and will leave a salon to only go home and change the entire hair-do, plus I hated the 6+ hours it took waiting around in a salon. Tamika always, always, always gets me in and out quickly. My hair is always just the way I like it and the price is great! I also want to add...you will be very entertained while there because these women are the funniest ever! I always leave having laughed my heart out! I highly recommend this salon.... #happycustomer read more

I got my hair done today and I love. Great environment. Great prices as well. It was a little hard to find, but i called them and they got me the fast. I will be going back. read more

This place is the BEST! I have been coming to High Maintenance salon for about a year and a half now, and Tamika is the only person trust when it comes to weaves and my hair. Her salon is Fun, always clean and the energy and atmosphere is just Awesome! Her prices are Great and her specials are even Better! She also sells her own hair that is very high-quality (I've had my HM hair installed 3 times). I'm moving up to Tacoma, Washington soon and I would even fly back to the bay at least once every month just get my weave done right by Tamika! read more

I am Tamika's very first client...In highschool! Yes, years ago! Tamika not only does excellent work but her professionalism is extraordinaire. One thing I love about being a client is that Tamika does not over book. You don't have to worry about spending your whole day in the shop. When you leave from Tamika's chair your weave will be stylish and modern. I have recommended Tamika too all of my friends even my Mother. Her prices are reasonable and her WEAVES will have you looking great. If your hair is not becoming then you need to becoming to Tamika! read more

I started going to this salon back in 2011 on a whim. I was wanting to try something new with my hair and was looking for a weavologist . I found out about this hair salon from Yelp at that time but the salon was called That's hot hair at the time. I called and spoke to Tamika about my hair wants and needs. She was VERY informative about the do's and donts, on how to get my hair healthy as well as what prodicts works best to help me acheive, long, healthy hair. Long story short, I have been going to her for my weaves ever since. She is by far the best at her craft and is super fast. She gets me in and out--not to mention the shop conversations are ALWAYS on point, so it makes the time go by faster too. Sometimes, I dont even want to leave because we have great conversations with her other colleagues and customers.. I definately reccommend Tamika---she is the best!! Satisfied Customer-- Dree read more

I had the worst experience I ever had the girl that did my sow in weave was ASHLEY I thought she carried herself very unprofessional I ask for a simple sow in nothing special my hair was lighter so I brought a darker die when I got there she looked upset because I had my old hair inn which I was willing to pay extra to take it out money wasn't a problem to me I have a high paying job and can afford it so she presided to take out my old hair when we where done she brushed my real hair and split only the parts I was leaving out sense she said the hair die I brought wasn't enough she dies my hair when she washed it out I had it all over my face and arm a very messy situation she left it there and dried my hair braided my hair and provided with the sow inn mind u I only bought 3 little bundles when she was done I still had 2 bundles of hair she DID NOT PUT in because she said there's no room which I thought was crazy because I've put a little over 4 bundles in my hair before if the person knows what there doing it was late at night I had to go home I couldn't stay I didn't think she was that bad that I needed to stay and have her do it again my hair was so thin u can see my braids at the top I was so upset worst of all she left the die on my skin and it burned me so I had scabs on the side of my face it looked like a nightmare when I got home I tried to schedule something for the next day so she can have a chance to fix it but she didn't wanna answer my text or calls very unprofessional she answer me the next day and said she was available 3 days later which didn't work for me because I had to leave town so I just left it at that will I ever go back HELL NO I just write this review to worn ppl maybe try someone else she post on Craigslist as well so just watch out don't let her mess up your hair like she did mines I was wondering why her prices where at $80 she must be a beginner what I think but she's not getting any business from me or my friends for sure by far the worst hair experience I ever had !!!! If I could do 0 stars I would !!! read more

I originally came across HMS on Yelp when it used to be "That's Hot Hair". I have been coming here close to three years. Tamika is an amazing stylist. She is professional and very patient. Thanks to her, my hair has grown a lot and became very healthy. I have been to many hair salons in the past and I must say that this is by far the best one. Both Tamika and Kenya are quality hair stylists. If you haven't been to High Maintenance Salon yet, then you must check it out as you will not be disappointed. read more

I found this Salon on Craigslist, and I am glad I did. Ashley was very warm and professional. She was able to bring me into the Salon on a Sunday before I went out of town..Can not say enough...I will be back read more

I was referred to Kenya about 3 years ago. I'm hesitant when it comes to new salons and beauticians but Kenya made me feel comfortable. She was professional, ON TIME (which is a huge plus for me), and she didn't have me waiting for hours in the salon like most beauticians. I made my appt for 1:30 and was out by 3 (wash and full sew in). That would have taken my old beautician the whole day! I love that she is creative and always looking for next best thing when it comes to weaves and hair. And she is entertaining! I always get a good laugh in when I'm in her chair! Client for life! read more

I'm writing this review for anyone looking for a new hairdresser or looking to get extensions done ! My first time going to the salon and definitely will not be my last Tamika was very knowledgeable and caring about my needs and concerns.... she walked me through the entire process and explained to me step by step.. I got a sew a few days before leaving on my vacation and had no problems when I was away. came back and my hair still looks great !! I highly recommend anyone that's interested in getting a sew to check out this salon it's awesome and the owner is very kind! read more

I have been going to Tamika for almost 2 years now. She is flexible, affordable, friendly, and her work is always excellent. I started coming to see her for wash/flat iron and now I get weaves done every 6-8 weeks. I have always been satisfied with my hair and recommend her to my family and friends! I love their new location also! It is clean, spacious, and comfortable! :) read more

Tamika is the owner of this salon and I love everything about it. She's very personable and makes you feel welcome. The shop is very spacious and is always clean and tidy and such a nice environment. I love Tamika's prices and her work! I've gotten partial sew-ins, full sew-ins and even have gotten a unit made by Tamika and they have all been AWESOME. The best part about it is she's not trying to break anyone's pockets and her quality of work is worth much more than she charges. She's quick and anything you ask for she will make it happen. She cares about the health of your hair most of all, she won't do anything to your hair that she knows will damage it even if you as her to. She will give you the 100% honest truth. I give her and her shop 5 stars because again my hair always looks great and it's healthy and has grown so much. Tamika is the truth and if you want a Hollywood status weave that you can afford, High Maintenance is the place to go. read more
