Peter Thomas Hair is a hairdresser located at 1640 Martin Luther King Jr Way in Berkeley, California. The Berkeley, CA salon provides a neighborhood option for people who want a thoughtful cut, a color refresh, or a more substantial change without losing sight of their hair's condition. Customer feedback repeatedly highlights the stylists' attention to individual hair texture, goals, and comfort with the process. Rather than presenting one look as right for everyone, the experience described by clients centers on listening to a reference image, talking through the desired result, and shaping a service around the person's current hair and next-step plans. That approach can be especially useful when you want a clear conversation before making a visible change.
Haircuts and color are central to what clients mention at Peter Thomas Hair. Reviews specifically call out Shannon for hair color and cuts, noting color that lasts while keeping hair healthy. Katie is recognized by clients for patient consultations and for working from inspiration photos; one customer describes changing long, wavy hair into a soft long A-line bob after more than five inches were removed. Another review credits Katie with creating a balayage, also called hair paint, that closely matched the requested image on dry or dehydrated hair. Marilyn is praised in feedback for her skill, instinctive understanding of hair, and many years of cutting experience. These accounts give useful context to visitors considering precision cutting, color work, or a change in shape.
The atmosphere conveyed in reviews is pleasant and relaxing, with a focus on communication that can help reduce uncertainty around a haircut or color appointment. This is a fitting Berkeley hairdresser for someone bringing a photo, recovering confidence after a style rut, or weighing a significant length change. It can also suit clients who value an experienced stylist's eye while still wanting to discuss details along the way. The feedback points to stylists who can translate a requested look into a personalized result, particularly for long hair, wavy hair, and color-focused visits. Individual results naturally depend on consultation and hair history, so explaining your goals, maintenance preferences, and concerns directly is a practical way to make the most of the visit.

Sign in to reviewShannon does a fantastic job with hair color and cuts. Color is long lasting and she keeps my hair super healthy.
OGs who have been cutting hair for decades. Marilyn is the most talented, skilled, badass haircutter I’ve ever had the good luck to meet, and I’ve been lucky finding great, skilled hair cutters since I was 16. She is a visionary savant. She sees the hair, she understands the hair, and she instinctively knows what it needs, and how to cut it properly. My hair always feels great after a Marilyn cut. Is he knows how to work with scissors to texturize hair, giving it form, shape, body and bounce. Best hair cut ever !!
Katie is very talented and patient! Katie cut over 5 inches of my long wavy hair to create a great soft long A-line bob and I loved it! Katie understood how hard it can be to drastically change things up and she made sure to talk me through each step so that there were no surprises. Really appreciated her time and patience. Hope to go back soon for a color treatment.
This review has taken me awhile to write as there are a lot of emotions associated with it. I've attached a picture that shows on the left the picture I showed Shannon and what I asked for and shows on the right what I looked like as I left the salon. Clearly there are inches of hair missing from what I asked for. The haircut started 30 minutes late as her appointment before me went long. I was going from a bob to a pixie which is a huge transition. Shannon didn't ask any clarifying questions and rushed through the haircut. I sat there shocked as she kept cutting away more and more hair. I referred her back to the pictures I had with me multiple times saying things like "I want it to be longer on the top so I keep my curls". I don't know if she was distracted or just didn't care, but I certainly didn't get what I wanted. Thinking I was overreacting I payed her and went home. That's when I shared the picture with my friends and they were shocked at how different the cut was from what I had asked for. I called immediately to complain and Shannon suggested that I was just in shock over the drastic change. A few months and multiple haircuts from a different stylist later, I love my short hair, what I don't love is the horrible cut Shannon gave me.
Highly recommend Katie. I went in with dry/dehydrated locks, showed her a photo of what I wanted, and she made my hair look exactly like the pic. In this case it was a balayege or "hair paint". I'd give her 6 stars if I could... Affordable, pleasant & relaxing experience.
