I had a great experience at this salon. As a first-timer with this place and not super knowledgeable about getting highlights or hair in general, I was so thrilled when I got exactly what I was picturing.
I called the day before and got an appointment easily. The whole process took about 3 hours, broken down as follows:
~1 hour: bleaching
~1 hour: toning. Without this step, my hair was all shades of yellow.
~1 hour: rinsing, shampooing, sitting under the dryer, blow out, flat iron
Service: throughout the process, the hairdresser made sure to ask me if I’m doing okay constantly. The only

Wax is great, she always makes sure I am comfortable and okay. She is always respectful, sweet, addresses my concerns, and never makes me feel rushed. She is beyond down to earth and her prices are so affordable for amazing work. Took about ten minutes for my Brazilian this morning, and she didn't miss a hair! I wasn't in pain the entire time and I am a huge baby when it comes to waxing a lot of the time. No pain, great prices, amazing woman. I couldn't be happier with my experience and HIGHLY recommend coming to her!

I went in for a walk-in haircut and it was smooth and quick! She asked me about what I was looking for and we just had a brief casual conversation throughout. I'm definitely going back again!

I always go here for shadia to give me a wax. She does a great job of getting you in and out in 10 minuetes while getting pretty much everything. Super reasonable price of $45 for a Brazilian. Everything is pretty clean and it's near campus so it made it rly convenient for me to go in

Had an amazing experience with Shadia, I am from Las Vegas just visiting and decided to visit the shop for a quick shampoo and trim. I can put a whole new woman and she left me with expert advise on how to maintain the condition of my new soft luxurious look. Thanks Shadia, you were the best!

Nothing special about the salon itself, but the quality of the hair services is very good. The owner had been there for a very long time and has a lot of clientele and even takes walk ins... She also rents space part time to my favorite stylist and I've been seeing her for 18 years.
It's a small place and the street parking is mostly limited to trap hours and a good lot of that is paid parking, so I strongly recommend the garage. The prices are reasonable and you won't need to move your car of you are getting a longer service done. The walk from the garage is just two blocks and the blocks are

I had a great experience. It was fast and painless. She uses soft was and she is really good at it. I'm going to come back for sure. The price is alright for what she offers.

I went in there today just to get my hair washed since I cut my fingers days ago and couldn't do it myself. After she washed and blow dried my hair, I was told it's $35! Are you kidding me? I didn't get a haircut or anything and it was done in less than 10 min! Totally a rip off!

Shadia's hair dying skills are on point. If you are looking for a good color she has got the touch.

This place is a must! Ask for SHADIA! She is the best at waxing in the Bay Area hands down. And trust me, I've been everywhere. She really cares about giving a clean finish with no hair left over and has been doing this for 20 years so consider her the master at it!

My previous review got removed for graphic content so here is the more PG version.

Shadia has addressed many of the sanitation and health concerns. The waxing room no longer looks like a rundown broom closet but the weird dentist chair is still there.

The waxing itself is terrible. I've been getting Brazilians for the last 5 years so I say this with some level of authority -- If you like your hoohah, please go somewhere else.

First of all, Shadia barely looks at where she's placing the wax. She actually applied some of the hot wax directly on some of the most sensitive areas.

Secondly

Also have some sanitation concerns about this place, but the waxing is painless and super quick (10 minutes for a Brazilian). Shadia is amazing and really efficient. Plus she's very talkative and will make you forget that you are getting a wax. Remains a bit expensive compared to what I'm used to in Europe (40$ for a brazilian, but overall I always come back to this place.
Got a trim here as well, really cheap and quick.

Perhaps OK for a trim but worth avoiding for any more ambitious haircut. They took off next to nothing before declaring my haircut finished. I would have asked for more but cutting inspired so little confidence that I was set on damage limitation by that point. Will have to go to another salon later this week - waste of $20.
