Currently, I am taking very few clients due to the fact that I am a full-time educator. If you would like to get a makeover at my Oakland salon please submit a current photograph where I can see your entire face and entire head, with no glasses and no hat. Please note I never cut hair that has been straightened with keratin in the last five years. In your photo, I need to be able to see your natural hair texture. Then, please let me know in one or two sentences what you are looking for. If we feel that it is a good fit you will hear back from us to set up an appointment. My haircut transformations in Oakland are $300 and are $500 in Los Angeles.

I do not. If I have space to give you a transformation we will send you a calendar of appointments you can choose from in the near future.

• Bangs and face-framing touch up: $100 in Oakland / $150 in LA
• Transformation or first-time haircut: $300 Oakland / $500 LA

Yes, yes, yes! You can get volume with soft crown layers and petals carved in and still have your weight left on the bottom.

Yes! In fact it will make your hair look thicker! I have super curly hair and I was told to never use a razor on it. Can you explain why you use a razor on curly hair?Hair is hair. That is a misconception based on scraping the hair with the razor and not using tension. I cut every single one of my curly haircuts with a razor.

No. A razor is simply a sharp tool that slices across the shaft of the hair. It’s the difference between a very sharp knife or a pair of scissors. Many people do not hold tension when cutting with a razor therefore they scratched the hair creating frizz. When using the razor properly it creates a clean and soft effect. Like the end of a paintbrush.

I would start with the beginning razor classes even if you are advanced. You will still learn so much as none of my haircuts are really beginner cuts.

I like to shop with more eco-friendly small brands. They are a tiny company and employ 13 people in one tiny office!
