La Peluqueria Hair Salon is a hair salon at 1600 Shattuck Ave. #108 in Berkeley, CA, offering a local haircut destination for clients in and around Downtown Berkeley. The salon holds a 4.4 rating across 44 reviews, giving prospective visitors a useful snapshot of its community reputation. Customer comments most often focus on cuts, hair texture, and practical care advice, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. For anyone searching for a Berkeley, California hair salon, it is a convenient neighborhood address where the consultation can be as important as the finished shape. The address sits along a central Berkeley corridor, making it relevant to both planned appointments and a search for a nearby stylist.

Curly hair is the strongest recurring theme in the available feedback. Several reviewers specifically mention stylist Patricia and describe her knowledge of curly hair, including cuts that helped their curls look bouncier and more defined. Reviews also mention a dramatic change of look, a layered cut, and guidance on maintaining hair between visits. One client appreciated being walked through a curl-care routine, while another valued a layered cut completed in about half an hour after securing a last-minute appointment. Those first-hand details may be particularly helpful for curl-focused clients seeking a haircut tailored to texture and daily styling habits. They also underline why experience can matter when shaping curls.

The appointment experience described in reviews feels personal and conversation-led: clients mention talking through their hair-care regimen and receiving input on what was or was not working at home. That can suit guests who want more than a quick trim and prefer to understand how a cut may work with their own routine. Available reviews are not identical - one customer reported a disappointing interaction - so the feedback is best read as a picture of individual appointments rather than a guarantee. Visitors with particular length, layering, curl, or preparation preferences can benefit from discussing them clearly when booking or at the start of the service. This direct approach helps set practical expectations and makes a consultation especially useful.

La Peluqueria Hair Salon is open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM; it is closed Monday and Sunday. Its Shattuck Avenue location can work well for Berkeley residents, nearby students, and anyone already spending time in the Downtown Berkeley area. It may be an especially relevant choice for people with curly hair who have struggled to find a stylist familiar with their needs, as well as guests interested in layers or a refreshed haircut. Check availability in advance, particularly if you hope for a short-notice time, and arrive ready to share what you want from your cut and at-home routine.

I had my hair cut by Patricia a year ago and it was a fine experience and a great hair cut. Today was something else. Patricia was so rude to me. She thought I had not shampooed my hair thoroughly enough, and told me she couldn't even cut my hair because of this. I asked if she could shampoo it but she just threw up her hands and cut it anyway. She spent so little time, care and effort on my hair cut and didn't try to dry my hair, so at the end I couldn't even tell if it was a decent haircut. It sounds ridiculous, but she treated me like I didn't deserve her attention because my shampooing wasn't up to her standards. It seems like lots of people have had great experiences - but if you catch her on a bad day, beware. I'm definitely not going to risk being treated like that again and won't be back.

I couldn't believe my luck when I found a curly hair salon in Downtown Berkeley! I called only two days in advance and got an appointment with Patricia. She is incredibly knowledgeable about curly hair - 25 years experience as a stylist - and she helped me change my look dramatically. I love my new style and I'll definitely be returning to Patricia in the future!

Highly recommend if you have curly hair!! I have always had to deal with bad haircuts since most hairstylist I encountered weren’t experienced with curly hair. I went to Patricia and she was extremely helpful. My curls went from being loopy to bouncy after the hair cut. She even walk me through how to properly take care of my hair. Also she very kind person.Below I have attached a picture of my curls before and after the haircut .

I went to Patricia yesterday for the first time after a friend recommended her to me. She gave me a great cut that people were commenting on for the rest of the day! She also discussed my hair care regimen with me and it turns out that a lot of the things I'd been taught were flat out wrong. I'm excited to try her tips and see what happens. Her prices are half of the Deva cuts I've gotten before, so that was a great plus as well!
