    Long bob
    Carla J.

    I have gotten 3 haircuts from Vika so far. My hair is thick and wavy and Vika is really good at giving me haircut and styling advice. The first haircut was a long pixie, which was the first time I had ever done something like that, so I was nervous. Vika did a great job and checked in with me every step of the haircut to make sure it was going to way I wanted it to. She styled it for me and even lent me some earrings and lipstick so I could see what I would look like with accessories. I went back to her for a touch up of the pixie a few months later. Because of COVID, I had to grow out my pixie, so I went back to Vika to help even out the growth and give me a bob with long layers and textured edges. I love the way it turned out. She always offers me water, which I think is a nice touch.

    Went w a black base & caramel highlights. Love!

    1st time here, referred by a good friend. Love!! Vika is great! The other reviews were totally true. She really listens to what you really want done with your hair and makes sure she understands any specific details you may want done. Tip: for anyone who's not from the area, there is free local parking along the street. The zone right in front of her shop is green, but just got about 200 ft back and the residential parking is free and no time limit. Just watch out for the street cleaning day. Believe it's the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Vika is very friendly and makes sure that you are comfortable throughout your visit. She is not pushy on ideas like other stylists from typical salons. She's not selling you on her ideas or products. She wants to make sure that you get what you came in wanting. She makes sure you leave happy! Loved my new hair style. It took much more time than she originally thought and estimated but she was totally give with it. Thank you Vika! See you again soon! I will definitely be getting my hair done here from now on.

    Hands down the best haircut I've ever had! It even looked goof later when I styled it on my own  Thanks Vika!

    Hello, what is the price for hair cut?

I was stoked for her! But since then, I've been adrift and searching for my hair match, trying out a new stylist for each cut. (My hair is fine but wavy with a weird cowlick, so it needs just the right layers. I had some great cuts and some so-so cuts, but never the right combo of close enough, a decent amount of availability that I'm not waiting months or driving across the bay, AND a great cut.) I tried Mark at Maru on a random rec from a friend whose daughter works at the salon--and after one cut, I feel like my search is over! The salon is very well-run and had an opening within a couple weeks. I arrived on time, was offered herbal tea, and waited under five minutes. It's in a nice spot in Berkeley with plenty of street parking with pretty cheap meters--$4. Mark asked me what I was looking for, got it right away, and was of course fun to chat with. I walked out with a cut I love for a reasonable price. I will definitely be back!

My stylist, Shawn, led me through to the second area of their salon which was cool and was so detailed about doing my hair. I've never had a stylist so precise and who really took great care in making sure everything was even and cut in exactly the way I wanted. I showed him one photo, and my hair looked exactly like it after. It was definitely the longest haircut I've had and pricey as I'm not used to Bay Area prices just yet, but honestly, so worth it.

They asked me if I was graduating, and I said no, I was meeting my fiancée's mom the next day. Five minutes before the haircut was finished, the stylist took a big chunk off my right sideburn. She cut it too high, which ruined the whole haircut, especially since my face shape doesn't suit short sideburns. I told her I didn't like it. I didn't overreact or yell, I was just uncomfortable. The hairdresser said, "Too bad!" and tried to dismiss the issue. I told her again that she should have asked me about the length. She then took it personally and told her boss that I was making things up so I wouldn't pay, saying, "They do this so they don't pay." What do you mean by "they"? Not only did I feel dismissed and treated unprofessionally, but also disrespected. I was upset after the whole situation, but even then I was willing to pay and didn't want to leave without paying because I didn't want to prove her point. Plus, it's not that expensive. At the end, the stylist said she had 40 years of experience. Well, after this, it feels like you wasted 40 years and somehow skipped the basics of customer service. Not coming back, even after being offered a free haircut. I would rather pay three times what I paid today for a standard service where you're treated with basic courtesy.
