Excellent blow dry and color each time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Irene and staff are very helpful and talented.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Great great Haircut and has been for decades. I remember coming to this location in my teenage years. I was here today and they did such a great job. I usually get my hair cut by the other woman here, but today I was with the other woman and the overall haircut and service were absolute best. I noticed the other haircuts they gave to others while i was there too.. really nice work. They seem to do consistently great work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really happy to be free of all the hair i grew!!! Whew!! What a relief!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you Lili's Hair Salon!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]She was so nice and often asked if the length of the cut was what I wanted[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Price is definitely better than most places and she welcomes walks in. read more

Do not come here. The short lady with the bob did not rinse my hair or part the sections, I asked her to and she dismissed me saying she knew how to do the haircut and I respectfully got up and said I don't want a haircut anymore and she tried to charge me full price for cutting not even an inch off of my back pieces. She was obviously very angry I did not want to continue so after back and forth she settled on my offer to pay a partial fee. Out of respect I paid $20 for MY CONSCIENCE. Just mad, old and doesn't know what to do. 0/10 experience. read more

Lily is excellent.. she took care of my long hair and made it short and styled. I hadn't cut for 4 years and just walked in. Great coloring also along with great prices. She's busy but efficent... not ideal for fades or taper but good with scissor and she will give you a nice hair cut. read more

I had the pleasure of getting my hair cut by Irene right before Lunar New Year. I told her exactly what I wanted (leave the top, fade the side burns, trim the back) and she gave me exactly that! I haven't hair a haircut that I've been truly satisfied with for a long time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Irene also talked me through what she was doing and continuously checked if I liked the adjustments, which was great for me since I tend to feel shy at salons.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was also in and out within half an hour as a walk-in (but it's still better to book an appointment in advance), so that's another plus! I'be struggled to find a haircut spot that's quick, affordable and good, but I think I found it here at Lili Hair Salon. I will definitely be coming back! read more

My daughter had her hair bleached and dyed at Lili's hair salon last week. They offered a really fair price and worked on the hair for five hours.

My husband has gotten his hair cut here twice already, and the barbers do such a great and meticulous job. The price is reasonable, and the location is convenient. I highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

Extremely high-quality salon without the frills. You literally do not deserve what this salon provides. They are exceptionally skilled and professional and the total cost is always ridiculously affordable. I tip them copiously. My last appointment, they did a blowout, full hair bleach and trim in one day and I couldn't believe how affordable it was. They showed me a swatch and were willing to match it perfectly. They did not rush and did an amazing job even though I had three services to ask of them. They gave me an extra cushion to sit on, and even a bottle of product. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They just do exactly what you ask, and they don't try to tell you what to do with your hair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are extremely polite and professional and easy to communicate with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I come back every time because of the service. read more

they cut my bangs atleast 2 inches shorter than i'd requested, and also used a straightener on my hair without asking which was super annoying because i don't like using heat on my hair read more

I am a fan! This is the second time that I have gone to see Christy & so pleased with my experience! Christy is so skilled, caring and sweet! I washed my hair before I came in and then she just wet it with a spray bottle to cut it. Shop is very clean. Prices are very affordable. COVID safe practices read more

They did an excellent job evening out my hair after cutting it myself. I showed them a few reference photos and they worked with me to get it to the perfect length. I've done two walk-in appointments and will keep coming back for affordable haircuts! read more

COVID review - So happy salons are now open in Berkeley. This place is taking customers in by appointment. I am not sure if drop ins are available at this point so I would suggest calling. Reservations are really easy to make and as I learned, service has improved... Prior to Covid I had been here several times. I've always been happy with my hair cuts here and the ladies have always been nice. Before Covid, this place was always really busy and hair cuts, though satisfactory, seemed more rushed because people were always waiting. Nowadays they really take most of the allotted, if not all, 30 minute appointment time for your hair cut. My brother, dad, and I have all been since Covid and loved their service during this time. My hair stylist was Chrissy (I think that was her name). For reference, my hair was really long and I asked for significantly shorter length with long layers. She delivered! She took her time and asked about hair length on several occasions to make sure the length she was cutting was okay. My cut was $28, so it seems prices have increased since COVID but it's expected and well worth it still. Temperature checks and hand sanitizer are provided upon entry and masks are required. Parking is available up front. 100% will be coming back again. read more

Best bald fade in Berkeley, attention to detail and very careful and precise...5 stars!

Great hair cut, quick service, and all at an affordable price! Irene was efficient and even straightened my hair at no additional cost.

Seriously amazing! Less than 20 minutes in and out for a mens haircut on a Tuesday and with a great cut too. Very nice quiet setup. I've been all over Berkeley looking for a nice place and I've finally found my new haircut place, thank you!! read more

Use to go to this place before COVID, I was nervous the first haircut just because Lili went to work so quickly. It came out really nice and was very well priced. I come here regularly, can't wait for it to open back up. If you are looking to relax, get a scalp massage, etc. this isn't the place for you. If you're looking to get an affordable quick no-fuss haircut that looks great, this place is great! read more

Irene was AMAZING. She did a great job asking what I wanted through the process and made some great suggestions too. I called ahead of time for an appointment and was seated very quickly. read more

I would give less than one star if it was possible. My sister told me that she could cut it better than the way it is right now. All they did was match the length. Its not even symmetrical on both sides. Thanks to this place, im going to be walking around looking like i have a triangular shaped bad wig on my head. I went with my male friend, and his was worse. He also showed her a picture of what he wanted and just cut the borderlines of the hair to make the outline look like the picture, without any consideration for his hair type or condition. Really waste of money. Never coming here again. read more

I went here based on Yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint! I got Christy and now she's going to be my go-to from here on out! she was precise - had to fix my undercut -but also didn't take long. It was great and affordable, perfect for me. read more

Mature men may not like the buzz cuts. Even if you ask for no buzz, you will get buzzed. One guy explained he had thinning hair & didn't want his scalp to show. He got a buzz cut. I asked specifically for no buzz cut, I got one on my sides and back anyway! 2 stars as it maybe good for college kids. read more

My #1 spot! After coming here for 9 years, I moved out of the neighborhood a bit far away. I tried getting a haircut at another place and instantly regret it -- now I drive across the bay to visit the wonderful ladies running this place. They all do a flawless job at a very good price in my experience, and make suggestions when you're not sure what you want. They are pros, immigrants, and women -- please spend your money here. read more

Wonderful job for a reasonable price!!! My hair and wallet are happy my hairdresser Christy was very detail-oriented and gave me exactly what I asked for! read more

I have been coming here for the last 5 years and I refuse to go anywhere else! I went to school at Cal and moved to New York but every time I come home, I always come back to get my hair cut and colored (highlights). Irene is skilled and a professional in what she does, I'm so indecisive that I'll tell her vaguely what I need - she does her thing with what I say and I trust her judgment, so the outcome is always amazing. You can't go wrong here and the prices are so affordable and worth it that I always make it a point to tip extra for such great service. This place is a gem and needs the recognition it deserves, I refer all my family and friends here! read more

Lili Hair Salon - Highlights & cut by Irene - Hair Salons Near Me - Berkeley, California

I'm beyond satisfied! The person who cut my hair was genial and gave me very good tips on how to take care of my hair. I've been to a lot of different hair salons that charge me exorbitant prices and care less about my hair and more about when I'll return, but this store is totally the opposite of that! The prices are affordable, and I haven't had my hair feel this soft in a long time. I got my hair colored in teal, and the person was very meticulous about keeping my hair length when I requested it and went the extra mile to layer and style the bangs even though I ended up staying beyond closing time. Will definitely be returning! read more

Was very happy to find this nice salon on a Monday when everything else was closed It's been in the same location for 60 years astounding Chou washed my hair and braided it and did a lovely job read more

9 years later and I'm still getting my hair cut by Irene! Every time I bring in a new hair style, she just nails it. I always feel confident that she's going to give me a great cut, and she always remembers me when I drop in (usually 2-3 times a year). Her prices have raised since I first started going her, and a simple haircut runs me $30. It's still super affordable! read more

I don't know why I never learn the lesson, "You get what you pay for." I was initially psyched because there was no line, and I was able to walk in without an appointment for a quick haircut. Oddly enough, the instant another customer walked in, the pace of the haircut increased 1000-fold. While wielding the scissors unsteadily, she turned to the man in the doorway and said, "20 minutes, okay?" He nodded and left. The more people who entered the salon, the fasted the scissors snipped and the harder the comb tugged. When the next customer arrived moments later, my instinct was to duck and cover my head. My stylist (not sure if I can call her that) ripped out chunks of hair as she attempted to assure him that there was "just a short wait." Three people later and I was convinced that I was bald. But why should they care. Clearly there are lots of customers - mostly dudes - who fall for the "only two people ahead of you!" line. The wait was four people, actually. Since I wasn't being tended to, I had time to count. Good thing you assuaged the people waiting rather than the person in the chair, because you just lost a customer. I asked you to cut my hair, not scalp me!! read more

Update still love this place, Christy is my favorite!she does a high quality cut, gently & precise. Also a really great person!

Lili had great service. I called them in the morning and got an appointment really quickly. Christy cut my hair and was very thorough and patient to get the right shape. I am very happy with my haircut. The prices are super affordable and I would definitely go back again. read more

Oh snap. Seriously, Lili is amazing. I was tired of my long stupid hair that I just put in a bun. I had already washed my hair, so I came in without an appointment and damp hair. There was luckily a short wait, just one guy before me. I was like, "alright, I just want it layered and medium length. Do your thing. I trust you." And it looks great! She was attentive and made sure I wanted it the length I asked for. "This length for the first layer?" Yes. She made sure throughout my session that I was pleased with each layer. She was fast but dedicated. Best 18 dollars I've spent! I made sure I tipped well. I will definitely become here from now on. read more

Love Sammy. This is the second time she has done my hair. I got my bleach stripe done and my haircut. I asked to keep the shape and to not cut it too short and she listened. I've had some emotional scars from having my hair BUTCHERED at other places, LIKE MAXI *cough cough* I like it a lot. Sammy did an awesome job on me. She also does eyebrows well if you can see in my photo. The price is right and everyone there is nice and hospitable. You won't be sorry! read more
