Spank Salon

I have been on the hunt for a while for an expert stylist and Gina Lowe is just that!!! She took time before even meeting me to ask what I was looking for. Then when I finally came in for my appointment she again took time to really loom at my hair and my color to get a sense of what I needed. I also didnt mention her delightful humor and warm disposition. She is also special props for being from Mass!!! Love my east coast peeps!!! This is the best cut and color I have had in years. Gina is highly trained and skilled and worked her magic.. She is also bicoasral so get her when she is in town. I felt like the fairy godmother of hair must have told Gina to fix this woman's hair and she did just that!!! The owner of the salon, Angela was also quite warm and welcoming. The last couple of months have been challenging for various reasons and she sprinkled some sunshine on me. Thank you . Love my east coast peeps. See you when you are back in town!

Last month, Bradley Crane gave me the best haircut I've ever had in my life. No, really. I'm writing this review today because even after all this time I'm amazed at what he did. I walked in and said, "I'm not going to tell you what I want because I know you'll know what to do with it." And he did. He layered my slightly curly/wavy hair in a way that when it AIR DRIES I look like I put effort in and it looks great every day. That's never happened with my hair before. It always puffs up into a mess when air drying. Somehow, SOMEHOW, he's worked magic. I thought I got lucky for a few days after showering with the new cut, but a month later it still air dries incredibly.

Ellie has been doing my curly cuts for the past few years. Not only do I have curly hair but I suffer from hair thinning so you can imagine how hard it is to find a hairstylist that you trust. She always takes my concerns into account and makes sure that I walk out feeling more confident than ever! We’ve tried a few styles from long to pixie and every time it comes out better than I could’ve imagined. I truly don’t know what I do with my hair without her

Ellie is great! I've tried a few different places in Oakland, and Ellie has definitely been my favorite. She's also great to talk to. I'm a man with medium-length/short curly hair and I just go in for haircuts.

Blew off my wife for her appointment and owner Angela finally got back to me to deflect blame and not apologize for anything. Went elsewhere, plenty of businesses who actually respect people’s time and don’t blow people off unapologetically. Must be nice to have so many clients you can be that arrogant and socially oblivious. Wife tried to reach out numerous times after and never called back, don’t manage main phone number or email actively. Here’s a piece of advice, don’t blow people off and then call back a week later without an apology. Total bullshit.
