The service request was very easy to navigate I pick full single color and blow out with Peggy. The vibes were very nice chill alittle small talk here and there I feel very comfortable :) now on to the service Peggy did amazing job and explained everything she did with my hair and gave me some recommendations on what she was gonna do to my hair. I absolutely walked in there with something in mind but it wasn't connected with me till Peggy worked her magic! And then she also let me see the final results with my hair naturally straight and then she curled to show that the color can be alittle different. Very sweet lady and definitely coming back. read more

Level 5 Salon - The stylist's station and this my hair before the dying process - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

I came in with a friend to the stylist she always went with (Roza S) and I usually don't have others cut my hair because I'm very particular in how I do my hair. So I put a lot of trust into her experience in the salon as I was in the look out for a new regular stylist. My request I wanted was some sort of wolf cut and a platinum blond under dye - I also provided references pictures. Mind you my hair is a dark brown and my hair type is a 2C. She understood my request and because I've had others do my hair for just bleaching I mentioned to her how I understood we would need to do at least 2 sessions to get my hair to a platinum blonde without damaging it too much. She said she could do it in one.... I insisted we did multiple ones and asked again to make sure she was ok with that, she persisted with a "yes". Because I wanted to trust her and her expertise I was ok with it but felt something was off because of what previous stylist have done before. Well she did it and my hair was fried beyond repair as i expected and she kept saying to me that my hair is just going to feel dry and damaged naturally, yes to an extent but it didn't need to be this bad where my hair was stretching and breaking off as time went on and I took showers. This damage could have prevented or at least lessen (i understand bleach dose damage hair but my previous stylist never did this much damage where my hair breaks off) if she listened to me and and we did multiple sessions this could have been prevented. Even after that, my hair cut was good and i didn't want to style it but again she kept insisting that I do style it and use a diffuser because of my hair type but I didn't want to which is what I expressed to her, rather I said I wanted a blow out. Yeah my hair looked horrible by the end, damaged, dry, breaking, messy. I am now at a new salon who actually likes having conversations, knows the science behind hair, explains her process and reasons of the process, understands when to back off, and makes me feel confident in my hair. Anyways I was over all very disappointed in this experience and hope others are aware of her practice as well. read more

My good friend highly recommended her stylist, Roza, since I was looking for a new hairdresser. I was thrilled by the local location and promptly booked a a hair color and cut. I consistently cover my grays and I was definitely due for a refresh. Roza is personable, bubbly, and made me look fabulous within two hours. I'm looking forward to supportign a great local business. read more

tldr: Stylist Marcela, $46 with groupon, not including tip. Soothing scalp and deep conditioning treatment, Wonderful Dolly layers and styling. Healthier Shinier hair. Bad bangs. Marcela did a wonderful job on my hair by adding long layers, giving me a trim, and a scalp treatment with deep conditioning. I had the groupon so I paid $46 and tipped which I think was a fantastic deal. The best part of this haircut was definitely the scalp treatment. As a very anxious person when it comes to my beauty treatments, I really like when I am told what is happening to me. Marcela talked it all out ! She explained the shampoo, the hair mask, why I was smelling peppermint - I really appreciated this extra communication. My only upset was at the end with my bangs. There was a point when my bangs looked perfect ! but then Marcela kept cutting upwards to create a wispy effect. I should have told her initially not to do this because I know that this wispy style looks terrible on me. Everytime I try to get my bangs cut professionally, it never turns out well. I wanted to get a haircut to fix my bangs but unfortunately this did not happen. I wanted a smooth curved side bangs, not a wispy one with jagged/ ridged edges which I received. However, for this price I think the whole treatment went well and I definitely think Marcela is a very kind lady who knows how to cut layers and style hair. I actually love the length of my hair and the styling effect. I love how my hair (besides my bangs) look super dolly. My hair is shiny and feels healthier and lighter. Marcela took her time and she was very sweet throughout the treatment. I would recommend her but make sure you tell her when to stop if things look good already. read more

This is the second time I've gone in there with a partial idea of what I want, and Peggy always delivers the results I love!! I've gone to so many different stylist over the years and it is so nice having a go to. For this cut, I chopped off more than 18" of my length...which is always very scary to do, but her confidence of just "doing it" made me feel at ease. Thanks Peggy! (I attached photos of my first color and cut, and then the most recent one after the color grew out and I chopped it all off) read more

Rosa just cut my hair and my bf can't stop complimenting me. I showed her the picture of what I wanted and she did exactly that. Good conversationalist. Efficient. Loved the ambiance of the salon. Clean, cool temps, calming, fresh air from opened front door, the natural sunshine was welcomed in, no chemical smells, not cluttered or noisy, good sized salon--not big and crowded. read more

I've been to three stylists and one aesthetician, and the experience was the same for each: it began with a friendly welcome, then devolved into a robotic, disinterested approach. On my final visit to her, Peggy stood at her station and called out, "Hey, I'm ready," while I was seated in the reception area about 12 feet away. No use of my name, no courteous stepping into the sitting area to speak to me. Of them all, the best stylist, meaning the one who listened closely and cut my hair as I requested, was the owner, Rosa. This behavior may be because I'm only there for a haircut, not one of the more income-earning color application services. But I tip well, 20%. In any case, not my go-to salon anymore. The aesthetician is the same in the treatment of clients. Friendly at first, but then robot-like for succeeding visits. In fact, the so-called facial she gave was incomplete. Just as an example: there is a steam machine that is used to soften the skin to make the removal of clogged pores possible. She only used it on one half of my face, and by the time I realized she hadn't placed the equipment on the other side, she had already begun the pore extractions. Plus, she does not provide a soothing atmosphere. She's always rushed, in and out, and for what she charges, she should be more welcoming and attentive to her clients. As I said, I'm no longer a client. Check out where I go in San José. Although it's a trek from San Leandro, I'm greeted with happiness and welcomed to the salon not just by my stylist but also by the others who work there and even the clients. read more

What a fabulous salon! Great energy the moment I stepped in the door. Found the BEST wax professional, Tracy Roacha! Great conversation, ease with the introduction and my first experience with hard wax, WOW! My legs look and feel great and no sensitive spots! Will be back. read more

I met Rosa over 15 years ago and she has been doing my hair ever since. She has created so many different styles for me over the years from short to long. She is an amazing colorist and has given me beautiful highlights and overall color for my gray. She's easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable as soon as you meet her. Her salon is clean and bright and eco friendly. She always makes me look good! read more

Level 5 salon has been the best to me! Been coming here for years and the customer service is always so good and friendly.

Highly Recommend this place!!! read more

I just moved to the area and needed to find someone to cut my hair after two years of cutting it myself -- a skill I picked up during the pandemic. The salon is small and cute, and they greeted me with a warm welcome when I came in. Irene is the sweetest! She cut my fine, wavy/curly hair from one-length shoulder-length into the most adorable layered bob that enhances my hair's natural texture. She was very cautious, not wanting to cut too much, and let me know that I could come back in a week if I thought it wasn't quite right, and she'd fix it for me. I could tell that Irene really cares about her clients and wants to make them happy. I did end up going back the next week to get my layers adjusted a little, and Irene did a great job! I'm happy that I found my new hair stylist in my new town on the first try. read more

Good service, stylist did well. It's easy to find but hard to park as it's located at roadside.

Great location right off of 580 in San Leandro. Teresa Delgado was fantastic. Perfect men's super short cut! All scissor cut no quick and dirty guard trimming. read more

This review is for Marcela ! She did an amazing job with my scalp and deep conditioning treatment . She gave me exactly what I asked for and my hair looks and feels great ! My scalp felt amazing after that scrub read more

Irene is amazing. I had the bright idea to "lighten" my own hair, which turned into a disaster. What was I thinking!!! Luckily Irene made room for me and took care of business. She is a great listener and makes sure to walk you through the process. A million thanks. read more

Roza is my girl. She's absolutely amazing. Her cuts, colors and personality are 10/10. I've been coming to her for 17 years. I love her. I highly recommend. You won't be disappointed and your hair will look beautiful. read more

I have been going to Level 5 Salon for over 8 years now. The stylist are amazing. I have had my hair colored and cut by a few of them over the years and am so thankful that they have a team who is able to fit me in with my hectic schedule. I always come away looking glamorous and the few times I needed a touch up quick or another few inches taken off, they have been quick to help me out. Rosa, Irene and Dana.. thank you! read more

Found this salon on Yelp. Requested an appointment and was booked with Rosa. She's amazing, kind and listens to one's hair issues. I'm a happy and very satisfied customer. read more

Peggy did a fantastic job with my curly hair. I'd been cutting it myself for the first 3 years of the pandemic and finally got tired of looking kinda ratty. She absolutely understood what I was going for, didn't give me a hard time about my DIY haircut, and gave great advice on care for my curls. She also styled it afterwards (it looks good!) and this is the first time I've left a salon not looking like an overcombed poodle with a perm?? Magical. And inexpensive compared to other curly haircuts I've gotten in the Bay Area that were NOT as good but twice the price (looking at you, curly hair salon in Alameda). She starts off cutting curls dry, as you should. Would recommend for any curly haired folks. Easy free parking, good coffee shop a few doors down for a lil treat afterwards. read more

Marcela was so sweet and personable. I had a wonderful time chatting with her. I really love the color of my hair! Definitely a delightful experience! Highly recommend her! read more

I started my journey to a blonde balayage with Irene about a year ago and have been a client of hers ever since. This time I went in for a refresh on the balayage and a very much needed haircut. Her work is absolutely amazing and I love the outcome every time. She was also able to walk me through the process of doing my hair and how to maintain it with aftercare. She is a great stylist and truly once you're a client of hers you really do become her friend. Definitely would recommend her!! read more

I an new to San Leandro and went to a local salon to get my hair done. I asked for full color and highlights. I came out looking like a brassy skunk. I reached out to Level 5 and made an appointment with Peggy! OMG!!! she was an angel sent. she was able to correct the color of my hair, tone it, and conditioned it to make it less strawy. I am so grateful for Peggy who fixed my hair emergency. I have found my new stylist! read more

I was told one price when I scheduled, then charged 50 dollars more for toner which costs 10 bucks in stores. I really recommend going elsewhere. Also really conceited when I told her and this is the owner, she did not care. I was told she didnt even have time to blow dry my hair and I still got charged 200. read more

Amazing Salon! The people and the vibes are amazing. I got my hair cut and blow out from Rosa! Highly recommend this salon. read more

It'd been over a year since I had my hair colored. This was my first visit to Level 5 and Marcela was my stylist. Marcela was very attentive and reviewed what I wanted prior to my appointment.

This place is a gem! I've been living in San Leandro for many years now and I'm stunned that I've just discovered this place. I booked an appointment with Irene and she was so AMAZING!

Great salon. COVID precautions set up. Had my wonderful haircut with Roza Stewart. Incredible hair stylist. Easy street parking. Right off 580 at Dutton and Estadillo. you won't be disappointed. read more

Peggy saved the day for me! I found out two days beforehand that I was being interviewed by the press and to say my hair was a hot mess is an understatement! I called "my" person and hadn't heard anything back and started to panic thinking I would end up going to a random salon. Then I remembered my mom having great experiences with Peggy at Level 5. I called and the lovely women who answered must have thought I was a nut but promised to give Peggy the message. Within an hour Peggy called me back and bless her heart, gave me an appointment the following morning. She did an AMAZING job! She toned down the brass and trimmed my hair, gave me great tips and suggestions and was super fun to talk to! My anxiety disappeared immediately and I walked out feeling confident for my interview and grateful that I found a new friend and stylist. I booked my next appointment on the spot! Peggy rocks! read more

I've used several stylists at Level 5 over the past 10 years and they're all great. Peggy has been my stylist for over a decade and she does a fantastic job. She's the only person who's ever been able to cut my son's hair and make it look amazing. Recently, her schedule and mine don't line up so I've been going to Marcela and she's such a delight. Her warmth and kindness are palpable and she's so fun to chat with. Last time I was there I mentioned I'd had a headache so she spent some extra time during my shampoo giving a little massage. It was super thoughtful and my hair looks great on top of it! Marcela is new at Level 5, but she's fantastic so get in there now before she gets all booked up too! read more

I have come here to visit Rosa for my color, cuts and blow outs for years. I always feel like a million bucks after I sit in her chair. Recently I took my soon to be 16 year old daughter in for her first highlights, cut and blow dry. And let me tell you... my daughter was incredibly happy with her results. As was I. She looks and feels amazing. The experience for her was priceless. Thank you Rosa! I should also mention, the salon is operating safely during covid. She texts when she is ready for you to come in. Temp taken and hand sanitizer at door. Masks also worn properly by staff and clients. Plastic dividers between stations. Social distancing also being followed. Felt very safe. read more
