I have had two haircut haircuts there - the first one by Georgina and the second with Itzel - and I can honestly say that these are two of the best haircuts I've ever had. I am very particular about what I want my hair to look like and how I want it to lay, and both of them were so understanding of my pickiness, both wonderful listeners and very skilled at their artistry. Also the owner Susie is just the warmest and sweetest. The salon just feels very accessible, everyone is genuinely and down to earth - and I am very grateful to have found it! Yay

Loved this appointment! This salon is located near my old apartment and is very nice!…read more The salon is very neat, well lit, stocked with lots of products. This was my first appointment here and I was with the Hair Stylist Danielle. The appointment was long but I loved the amount of care and effort she put into cutting my hair. I wasn't rushed or anything! I had the sudden urge to cut off all my hair into a bob after seeing my current hair in a picture of me in the sun... My hair was BAD .. I could see the color difference between my natural hair growing out and the old bleached hair that I dyed a chocolate brown. I was panicked when I saw this in my picture... It was literally looking at two separate people's hair. YIKES.. Danielle saved the day! I usually have a tough time finding a good stylist but I'm glad I trusted Danielle with this transition from long to short hair. I've never cut my hair this short .. but I was happy about the results!! She did so well!! I loved it! I'll be back soon for a trim!! Glad I found BIBO Salon! Danielle saved the day!

He reached out for a conversation before I came in and I knew I was in good hands. And then I was BLOWN AWAY by what he was able to achieve!! I had expected it would take a few visits to get there. Justin knows hair!! There is a science and an art to color, especially for those of us wanting dimensional color. Justin has both expertise and artistry!! I'm just delighted. I want to also mention that the salon itself is lovely. Spacious and airy, with a sweet back patio. I loved the art, too. The whole experience was uplifting! Justin is easy to talk to, the vibes are chill. I'm including before and after photos in hopes that my review might help someone else in a similarly desperate situation. You can trust Justin at Salon 1500!! He's awesome!!

5 Stars for Justin Lorenz! ***** I'm lucky enough to live right around the corner from the salon,…read moreand Justin has become my absolute go‑to for both haircut and color. He's incredibly accommodating, especially with my unpredictable work schedule and the constant juggle of being a mom. He always communicates clearly about his availability and somehow finds a way to make things work, even when I need a last‑minute rescue for a quick color or cut. Justin is not only professional but genuinely thoughtful in his approach. He asks great questions about what I need, offers helpful recommendations, and always makes sure we're on the same page before he starts. The cuts he's given me have been amazing, easy to manage, and perfect for someone who's always on the go. On top of all that, he's just a wonderful person. He's caring, a great listener, and creates such a comfortable, welcoming experience every time I'm in his chair. Honestly, these appointments make my days better.

While I was sitting there he shared me a lot of his stories about Vietnam and it was really fun listening to his stories. The location was in the Diva nail studio and he just had a chair in the back.

He's my new barber for as long as I stay in Oakland Tip: The location is 489 8th street Oakland ca at diva nails salon. His old location listed on yelp has closed down. It's only a block down from the old location.

I will just have to be patient while he visits family and friends back in motherland :)

The only reason I did not give a 5 star is because i mentioned to her how short i want my hair to be cut (about my chest area) but without warning she just cut and cut and she was so fast before i can say anything the hair is already shorter than what I wanted and unfortunately i can't stop her or even have time to say anything. i wish she communicate more with me while cutting. But it turned out So so good and i love it! so i am ok with the result, but I just wish my hair is a bit longer! I made a TikTok video from the process please check it out!

This review is for Martha Muga! I am new to the area and have been looking for my go-to stylist,…read moreand I think I've found her. I came in for a full haircut today after a long time going uncut and unstyled, and I feel transformed. She took a look at the photos I wanted to refer to and was immediately confident and flattering--and she executed the perfect cut and style. We had a really lovely and fun conversation that made me feel welcomed and engaged, and I'm excited to come back again soon for future cuts. We talked briefly about the kinds of things she thought would look good for my hair specifically and what it would involve, and I think her eye for style and hair is impeccable. I'd already trust her with anything! I will definitely be coming back. For the shop: It's in the cutest little part of the neighborhood, feels safe and it was kind of quite on a Saturday afternoon with lots of trees and lots of parking. It is near the 57 and the Shellmound bus lines, and it's in walking distance of the Public Market/that area, which is perfect for me. The shop is spacious for having two chairs. It feels special and exclusive but also homey and cozy at the same time. The hair products they use SMELL SO GOOD. I really liked this place and look forward to coming back again.

I hardly ever write reviews but I need to give a shoutout to my wonderful hair stylist Reena, she…read moreis the best! Before Reena, I was never able to find a stylist that could so easily understand what I wanted and had the patience and skill to execute it fully. She is so flexible and creative with the methods she uses, and always keeps the health of my hair in mind. Before finding her, I had visited a different stylist for a consultation and this other stylist was planning to fully bleach my dark-blonde/faded red hair, and get it to all blonde quickly. It was such a difference to then go to Fox and Belle and have a consultation with Reena who came up with a plan to gradully get me to my blonde end-goal by first transforming my old red-dyed hair into an ombre sunset of lovely coral and peach tones to blend into my natural color (it turned out so much better than I could have imagined) and then once that had grown out and faded she was able to do a bleach-free balayage that gave me the blonde I wanted and will still look good as my roots grow out. And because of her methods, my hair feels so soft and healthy! It makes the whole process so stress-free because I know my hair is in the best hands with her. I have left each of my appointments feeling beautiful and so much more confident thanks to her. And on top of all that, Reena has given me so much great advice on what products and tools to use on my hair, how to prevent damage, and how I can style it myself. Everyone at this salon is so friendly and the environment is the most welcoming and relaxed I have experienced. I especially love how much natural light and fresh air there is in the salon. If you are thinking about booking a service here you should go for it and book it with Reena so she can work her magic on your hair!

From the moment we met, she made me feel comfortable, listened closely to what I wanted, and was incredibly responsive. Marilyn has the range to create everything from minimalistic looks to full glam, and I appreciated that she never pushed me in either direction.

She's warm, easy to talk to, and made both the trial and my wedding morning feel calm and enjoyable. She's also part of a network of artists who can step in if something unexpected happens, which gave me extra peace of mind leading up to the big day. Marilyn an incredibly talented artist, and I feel so lucky she was the one who helped me get ready for my wedding day. Thanks Marilyn!

So happy I found her salon because the last one I went to near Lake Merritt messed up my haircut pretty bad. Would recommend!
