⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love my hairstylist! She’s such a perfectionist and truly amazing at what she does. Since my very first visit, I was so impressed with the results. She really listens to what you want, gives great options, and always delivers results that are even better than expected. She’s an expert in balayage — recently I did highlights with her and couldn’t be happier! Her haircuts are also fantastic. I go every month for my root touch-up and every three months for her incredible hydration treatment. I totally recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, healthy, and perfectly styled hair! 💇♀️✨

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just had my hair colored by Mayara, and I am over the moon with the results! 🌟 She’s originally from Brazil, just like me, and she absolutely nailed my first-time blonde transformation. My hair was really dark before, and she turned it into the most amazing, perfect honey blonde. The color is exactly what I hoped for, and she did such a professional job. Mayara is not only super talented at what she does—whether it’s balayage, blonde highlights, or that perfect honey shade—but she’s also incredibly kind and respectful, making you feel comfortable the entire time. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to change their hair color. She truly works wonders!

Maya is such a talented hairstylist and an overall lovely human being. I was recommended to her by a friend, and prior to meeting her, never had a consistent hair salon or stylist that I would routinely visit. Now I get why people stick to a consistent stylist! Maya nailed what I wanted from day 1, and has transitioned my dark natural hair to auburn/red, to blond balayage, from long to short, and everything in between! She's an easy person to hang out with for the hours it takes to get your hair done. I would recommend her to anyone looking to trust a new person to take care of your hair in Oakland!

Mayara is an amazing professional. I first met her back in 2018, and since then, she has been my go-to person for dyeing my hair. Her skills have only grown better and better over time. Recently, we dyed my hair based on my color palette, and I was amazed by how perfectly she translated what I asked for into what she delivered. I’ve included some pictures from times she has done my hair — I’ve changed my hair color a lot, but I’ve been in love with every single one of them.

I’ve been seeing Maya for balayage and haircuts for a while now, and she always nails it. She has an incredible eye for color and detail—my balayage looks effortlessly blended and grows out beautifully every time. Plus, her haircuts are consistently flattering and easy to maintain. On top of being super talented, Maya is just genuinely kind and easy to talk to. I always leave her chair feeling refreshed, confident, and like I’ve had a mini therapy session. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for gorgeous, natural-looking color and a stylist who really cares!
