Addiction Hair Studio

Have had a deep conditioning and hair cut here and I’m coming back in a couple weeks! Very friendly staff and professional with reasonable prices. Would recommend this place to all my friends!

Came here today for the first time since I moved in to Bay Area. They are very professional and courteous. My haircut was very well cut and I was very satisfied with overall experience. I would surely recommend this to anyone who wants a good haircut at a reasonable price.

Awesome place to go for a haircut. I went here for a cut a few days ago and was just shocked by the attention I was given. As soon as I walked in i felt at home. I had to wait for five minutes in in those five minutes I was greeted by the staff and the owner herself. Right away I thought, Ohh Maylanta! How much is a trim going to cost me for all this attention? To my surprise, the amazing hospitality was free. The staff is just very friendly by nature, especially MARY. She paid close attention to my type of hair, how I wanted it done and BAM she nailed it. I felt like a million bucks, it was a beautiful moment for me since I have trouble describing how I want my hair done and she understood me. The Hair cut cost me the same as my previous stylist who still has not memorized my name. I definitely recommend this place and most definitely return for more of their awesome service.

Our colors and haircuts were done just the way we asked for! Great service, lots of attention, quality products and good atmosphere. My daughter and I left feeling like princesses! you’ve got loyal customers. Thank you all so much!

I have thick and long hair that I really love and I am very picky about trusting hairdressers.
I used Azzi at the addiction hair salon and I was very pleased, she cut my hair the length I wanted it to be, she was very careful by not to over cut it.
Styling my hair was really good too.
The owner Diana was very hospital and professional by taking my appointment and made sure to be served on time.
I did schedule my next haircut and will recommend this salon to all my friends.

Michelle A. is amazing! I always come away from my appointments feeling like a million bucks! She does wonderful color and can cut any hair length. She can simply do it ALL! And the prices are very reasonable for the impeccable quality of her work!!!

Before Nicole, I was a hot mess. Truth. Even she made the comment «I almost wanted to cry when I saw what the other place did to your hair» And while that comment stung, she quicky got down to business and said what she needed to do to get my hair back on track. I completely trusted her and now I am happy to report that I’m way less of a hot mess! She is also awesome with highlights. I have black hair, and my highlights didn’t come out brassy or ashy, or oompa loompa colored, it’s just perfect. I appreciate Nicole for her honesty, but what I appreciate most is that she doesn’t try and engage in fakey fake conversation with me. She knows when I just want to read the magazines, or doze off, or just stare at the posters they have there.

This is my go-​to salon when I need a haircut and they have always done an outstanding job. My hair grows out really long and healthy-​which is signs of a good cut! I made an appointment when it was around that 6-​month mark for the next day with Michelle. I haven’t had a chance to get my hair cut by her but my friend did and it turned out fabulous! I made sure to get there at least 5 minutes early and got a root beer while I waited. Flipped through some magazines. Flipped through some more magazines. Then I was told she was running a bit behind and that she was almost done. No problem, these things happen, right? Flipped through some more magazines. Then I noticed I had went through almost all of the magazines. Checked my phone and itwas 3:20…so I had already been waiting 25 minutes. Started getting a bit impatient so I played some games on my phone. Then I realized that 3 people had came after me and got seated with their stylists before mine was even done. Checked the time and it was 3:34. Now this was getting ridiculous because when someone is running behind I assume that means 10 – 15 minutes, not 34. I was told she was almost done but I was fed up at that point so I just walked out. Makes me sad because I was really excited. I guess I would come back, but with a different stylist.

I love getting my hair done here this place is nice and the people are friendly. Ive had Nicole and Katherine. I prefer Katherine because she is faster with hair highlights. I love the way Nicole blows out my hair.

GUY REVIEW
I do not usually get a legit salon haircut. For special occasions I will get done up. This upcoming occasion is a wedding where I am the best man. I was recommended by a friend of this place and I have never been so happy walking out from a haircut!
Mark cut my hair. I could of sworn my appointment was at 11:30 and made sure I wasn’t late. I even wrote it down! But apparently it was at 11! Oops! I often get mixed up with scheduling as I too, make appointments with my clients in my field of work. Sorry again Mark! He insisted it might have been the bookings fault but I’m sure he was just being kind.
I came in with a picture of Justin Beiber… Shhh don’t tell anyone. I’m not a belieber whatsoever. But you got to admit… Dude has got some nice hair… Anyways, Mark replicated it to perfection and has got me singing «I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive!!!
I checked in on Unilocal and got 25% off, which I kind of felt bad for because I was late. I tipped the 25% I got off anyways. I just wanted to do it more so for the check in and review on Unilocal.Mark’s skills deserve it.
I came home and my girlfriend was thrilled with my new look. I am definitely ditching my stop at whatever cheap salon attitude and booking my haircuts here from now on.

LOVE this place!!! Michelle is awesome and knows just how to cut, color and style my hair. The prices are reasonable and the people are friendly !!!

LOVED IT x2!!!
So I’m super particular about my hair. But I also don’t ever want to «hurt a stylists’ feelings» by not going back or something (like they’d notice). But I have had my fair share of bad experiences at hair salons and my mom has as well but she found Nicole and recommended after one time to go to her. She said I wouldn’t be disappointed and she spoke english as her first language (a problem I’ve ran into way too many times). So I’ve had her cutting my hair for about 5 months and never had a problem, she goes slightly conservative which is SO nice because I can just tell her i want a bit more off. (MUCH better than having too much cut off initially.) She recently went on vacation so she recommended Lydia to cut my hair while she was gone and she did just as great of a job! Both have great personalities and are easy to talk to while getting your hair done. I’m looking forward to next time, thanks Nicole AND Lydia!!!

OMG they destroyed my hair!!! And the owners are not willing in any way to fix this huge problem. Court proceedings are in order!

Love, Love, Love this place. I thought I would check this place out after reading some reviews, Lydia knew exactly what to do with my hair, and made it fun. The staff was super friendly, everyone was laid back, and Lydia was fabulous! I have already received so many complements of my hair, I will definitely be coming back here.

DING, DING, DING. We have a winner!
After a tremendous amount of salon-​perusing, Groupon-​using, stylist-​searching madness, I have finally found my new go-​to spot. Thank you LYDIA for being able to (1) listen to what I want, and (2) execute on it well. On top of that, she was a delight to hang out with for the two hours that it took to touch up my blonde.
In addition, the prices at this salon are insanely reasonable ($ 55 root touch up… none of that $ 200+ shenanegans), and the vibe is pretty chill.
Well done, Addiction Hair Studio. You’ve earned yourself a new loyal client.

Tip: Make sure to discuss PRICE during your CONSULTATION (especially when dealing with color.) You should have a very clear idea of what you will be paying BEFORE you reach the register.
no one likes surprises.
Remember: Be a delight and find how much you will be delighted.
Smile.

I love this little salon and my girl Katherine rocks hair people!
I have been her client for going on two years.

I have been going to Addiction hair salon for 5+ yrs. I originally followed my stylist Aundreia there. After she left I was heartbroken… My hair would never be the same! Then I found Katherine Katherine is incredible. She is extremely open to trying new looks (her hair is always full of color), she is fast (doesn’t laggggg) and she is good at what she does. I typically get blonde highlights, low-​lights and sometimes color. I drove from SF for years to get my hair done by her and its totally worth it. Sad to say now I live in NYC and the fight doesn’t really make sense anymore. Thanks for all the beautiful hair Katherine.
The salon itself is great: Fully remolded, clean and very modern inside, always playing great music.
Prices: You can’t beat them! Incredible!
People: Mark and Ray and whole staff are nice, friendly and always make it a great experience.

Writing this during my experience! I wanted to get my hair chemically relaxed, and this place had good reviews on Unilocal.So we shall see the rating at the end.
The initial call with Naomi was good. I couldn’t get a booking that weekend, so I made one for the weekend after. It’s only my second time getting a chemical relaxer, so I’m understandably nervous… However, even with my phone phobia it was relatively painless. Very nice.
She had told me I’d get a confirmation phone call a few days before, which is usually code for ‘reminding you of your appt, show up or I will end you.’ Which is fine, I made the appt, I wouldn’t miss it. The call came the night before… I again wouldn’t have minded but I had plans (getting stoned off my gourd) and wasn’t able to answer the phone (literally couldn’t figure it out). I call back the next morning before heading out and get told my appt now overlaps with another client’s. …really? I actually needed to CONFIRM it? Uh… Well. As long as this is still happening.
Inside now… Clean place, playing the news, set up well. Everybody just comes up to you to offer something while you wait, SO cute. :) But, my hairdresser left and it’s exactly my time… Whatevs, I’m always late, I don’t mind waiting a few minutes. :) Although. There is a giant cutout of Edward Cullen just sitting there and JUDGING me.
The relaxer went relatively well; I got the standard ‘but you have such pretty curls’ comments. I’m a terrible customer and haven’t had my hair relaxed in 4 years, so I went in with slightly wet hair (LIKE A BOSS) and had to dry it first… And I had no idea what sort of relaxer she’d used, just that it was BOMB. So we sort of went into this blind. When I made the appt, I had specifically asked her to flat-​iron it and cut it, but I was worried about using up all of her time and running into this mysterious ‘other appointment’ so when she sort of forgot, I didn’t request it. Mistake. But mostly on me as a shy customer.
It’s a few days later and I still can’t wash my hair or deep condition it, but it’s looking a lot calmer. My biggest complaint is the chemical burn on my forehead, kid you not. It’s small, but yeah, I got burned. Also it was burning on my scalp, which I’m told isn’t supposed to happen if it’s done right; we had to rinse it out early. Anyway. It was good, I enjoyed the place and the people, but I think I’ll pay a little more at a place my ethnic friend recommends next time. Would’ve gotten 4 *s save the mistake of burning my forehead. Otherwise, she’s a good bi-​racial stylist, and acted very knowledgeable.
(Quick add-​on much later: the chemical burn permanently damaged that area of my scalp and now that hair grows in weird. Ugh.)

If your hair stylist doesn’t have bomb hair, then you might have a little problem. However, this isn’t a problem here, since Katherine has the coolest hair ever! If I could do a review on her hair, I’d get 329 832 stars!
Anyhow, my asymmtrical bob lost its shape and Katherine chopped it back into shape, while we chatted about boys. Really? How much more fun could you have?
