I agree with others. This is a hidden gem in Albany!!!I have thick somewhat but not quite curvy hair. I was skeptical about this palce at first (I know this does not look like a fancy salon type of place). But I want to cut my hair so badly, so I gave it a try today.No appointment needed. I went in around ~ 2 PM and waited around 15 mins before my turn.The lady discussed with me how I want my hair to be cut in detail and confimed with me a few times during the process.My hair looked so nice afterwards. It is the perfect length as what I wanted.My haircut (long to short + style) only cost $25!!! Also, it is pretty quick. Only took around 30 mins (I do have long hair~~)One last thing: Cash only! Reminder to bring some cash!If you are wondering like me before, give it a try! I will definitely come back in the future.

This is a hidden gem for haircuts in Berkeley!!!I am a woman with straight shoulder length hair and went in for a trim, Cindy was professional and did an excellent job on my haircut with very clean edges, the perfect length and just the right amount of face framing.Not to mention my haircut only cost $18! I really feel and look like a million bucks.There was only one other customer in the salon at the time and they were far away, and the windows and doors were open for airflow. In addition all stylists and clients were properly masked.If you are in need of a trim I definitely recommend this shop, especially Cindy!

Ive had my hair cut by Cindy for over 30 years and she ALWAYS makes me look my best (although she cant quite make me look like George Clooney).

Great place! They work quick and always do a great job. Nice folks.

They took me right away off the street. Was attentive and gave me a pretty good haircut. Cash only.

So happy I went here! I don’t get a hair cut often (approx every 6 months) so when I do I want/need it to last. This was a great cut a an even better price!

Ive been coming here for 6 years as did my late father. Cindy and Lana are particularly well versed at what they are trained to do. Lana has my particular haircut and styling down to a science and Im usually out of there in a half and hour. I come whenever I need to and theyre accommodating.Prices are reasonable. I live locally so its also convenient.

I have been going to Cindy for years. Shes always does a fantastic job, shes responsive to feedback, shes fast and efficient.

Local hair cut place. Men $13. No off street parking which is sometimes a problem. The do womens hair too. Not fussy.

Love ❤️ the place

The test of a great haircut is whether it holds its style as it grows out. Cindy gives great haircuts, the best Ive had since Paris. Amazing for such a modest price!

For $15 bucks or so, the cut is generally fine for the price. The owner can use more smile and show more welcoming warmth towards her customers. When it happens that the cut is not so good (it happens to all), apologize, offer to make correction, and move on, rather than holding grudges. No one is perfect all the time!

Only accepts cash or check which is a bit inconvenient. Nice people, good haircuts, and $13 for haircut for my kid. Overall happy.

The shop does not look like much, but this is a good place. Fast, seriously inexpensive, and on top of that actually delivering good haircuts with attention to detail and a level of skill and technique seldom found in more upscale-looking venues.With the caveat that this was for a fairly uncomplicated male haircut.

Ok hair cut. You get what youre paying for. A little sloppy but she really screwed up my beard. She buzzed one side of my mustache and then left a huge chunk under my chin :( then she didnt even brush me off and Ive been itchy. will not be going back.

Ask for cindy...she is exceptional at tailoring hair to your liking...very friendly,efficient and a good environment...very popular so call ahead and they will definitely help you

Lana and Cindy are the best!

Quick, good job, good price

Cindy is great - nice, consistent and very low key. Ive been getting my hair cut here for 2 years now and very pleased

Cindy and her team do a great job!

She did a beautiful job! The place isnt fancy but a really good cut doesnt need to be exoensive

Very happy with my latest cut, and no wait!

A great place for a haircut. Ive been going there exclusively for over ten years, and Im going today.

Ellie, proprietor is extremely helpful & Outstanding service

Cash-only, but a cheap way to get a decent haircut.

Good quick haircut for $13

The first time I got my hair cut here, it was good but I went back today and I must have gotten someone who wasn’t as experienced, but my haircut is awful, and it took forever. Not worth it.
