    After cut & natural dry with Martha - happy natural curls popping out everywhere
    Kat E.

    I've gone to a lot of salons. I've gotten so many cuts and colors, but my hair always ends up looking terrible soon after due to poor maintenance (my fault completely). I've also been to the fanciest, most pretentious places. SHED is different. The specialists here just happen to be good at what they do and they're not trying to show-off or be anything else. They're incredibly knowledgable and they genuinely want to help you. This is the first time I left really, truly understanding my hair texture and how to take care of it. Martha knows hair and she knows texture. She gave me exactly what I asked for and more. She taught me what my hair texture is, what it needs, and how I can take care of it. And this all just naturally came out as we chatted about things throughout the session - she's an easy person to have a chill conversation with. I came in with the saddest, dried waves and left with bouncy happy natural curls. I also appreciated how straightforward and honest Martha was about coloring my hair. She recommended I go to a coloring specialist since I would need a color correction if I wanted to refresh my highlights. So I went to Tracy for my refreshed balayage. She was also very genuine and straightforward, setting expectations on what my hair could do after already being so heavily bleached. She listened deeply to what I was hoping to achieve, how I wore my hair, and how I wanted to feel about my hair. She intentionally highlighted places to make my hair pop in unexpectedly beautiful ways. Tracy also toned my hair to compliment my skin tone! What made the biggest impact on me though was also the after-care she walked me through so I could do my best to maintain the health of my bleached hair. It's been a few days and my goodness.... My hair is happy. It's that simple. Go to Martha (Cut) & Tracy (Color) at SHED!!

    Amelie style French bob!
    Heidi O.

    I booked my 8 year old daughter in for a French bob with Kelly last Friday. The salon itself is very cute with easy street parking down a quiet street in Emeryville. Kelly was super nice and sweet to my kid, and knew exactly what she was looking for (Amelie!). She really took her time to get it absolutely perfect, which I really appreciate, especially on a kid. My daughter is over the moon with her new cut and has gotten tons of compliments already. The price was also really reasonable at $80. We will be back!

    The after!! He's amazing

    I have been going to Edwin for the last 2 years and I always LOVE my results. He always knows the look I am going for and executes perfectly. I go to him every 6 months and the grow out still looks good! My before is also a 6 month grow out from my previous haircut from him. I find that it's very hard to find a stylist that can cut front bangs really well that still compliment's a person's face. He can take someone's hair inspo and adjust it accordingly to flatter someone's unique face/features (because let's face it, just because someone wants a haircut a certain way, doesn't mean it will look as good on them as the person in the photo). He's honest, funny, and I love our bi-annual catch up. I cannot recommend Edwin enough if you are looking for a new hairstylist in the Bay. A full service will cost you $100 + tip but he's worth every penny. :)

    Balayage by Martha
    Priya T.

    This review is for Martha Muga at SHED Salon. Martha is so wonderful. If I'm sitting in a chair for a few hours, I'd like someone who I can have a good conversation with while also enjoying my self-care time. Martha is super knowledgeable about hair - she observed a couple things about my hair, and I found the styling and care information super helpful. I got a balayage done in my initial visit and toning during the 2nd visit. I loved the way the balayage turned out. Martha took her time but I didn't feel like I was sitting there forever. She gave me recommendations for my hair but was not pushy whatsoever (I think we've all been there at some point). Pricing was reasonable, parking was super easy - it's on a fairly quiet street in Emeryville. Booking was simple on the website and you can text her for booking questions as well. Masks were worn and kept on during the whole service. Overall I loved her energy, skills, and service. So happy to find my hairstylist in the Bay Area! I've recommended her to a few friends who asked for tips on where to go.

    The final results

    This review is for Martha who also previously gave me the cut. A year ago I dyed my hair viking white and as intended, let it grow out for that grunge look (2 in 1!). A year later my roots were taking over and it was just time for something new ‍. Martha corrected what was, and I'm very pleased with it! It's the first time I've gone brunette so it was a big deal for me! I needed a second visit because the color didnt lift the first time but anyhow, here are 3 pictures showing the initial color, a year later, and my new brunette do'. Thanks, Martha!

    Got my haircut by Edwin and love it! I needed to refresh my layers but didn't want to lose length. Edwin did an amazing job!

    Before...and after!

    I really, really distrust stylists--too many experiences with asking them for one thing, and they give me something entirely different. (Usually, they lop off more inches than I asked for.) I did a lot of research before going to Shed, and whew, I'm glad I did. It was a pretty dramatic change for me. I had really long hair--down to my lower back when wet--and I wanted it cut short. Not a pixie cut, but definitely not touching my shoulders. Kelly was super enthusiastic about the idea and very, very reassuring that it would look good on me. She tied my hair off and made the first big snip so that I could donate it (16 inches!). I was in the chair for a while--over an hour--but she checked in continually to reassure me and gave me tips for styling my new, much shorter hair. If you're prepared to pay a little more, it's totally worth it. Shed has a really soothing atmosphere with quiet music, a nice aroma, and a really homey vibe. For dramatic transformations I couldn't recommend it enough. Oh, and don't forget to knock--maybe it was because Kelly was the only stylist there, but the door was locked when I arrived for my appointment.

    Haircut by Shed's Edwin Ramirez, the sharpest men's hair stylist in the Bay Area!
    Robert T.

    I've been a client of Edwin's for about 5 years, and he is a spectacular stylist and human being. As long as you give him some idea of what you'd like (and like any good client, you should always bring a picture), he takes it up with enthusiasm and executes with a razor-sharp level of detail and focus. His focus is always on the cut, and if you engage in conversation, he'll happily reciprocate with good humor; you can tell even as he's talking, that his focus never wavers. In all my years of going to him, I've never felt rushed - Edwin always takes as much time as he needs to get it right, but he works efficiently and methodically. You can tell that he puts a lot of careful thought into what he's doing. Trust me - once you see Edwin, you may never want to see anyone else!

    Yummy davanes goodies in a reusable burlap sack. Thanks to Kelly for all of the delicious recommendations.

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!
