Azura Salon Oakland

Highly recommend Ngan for your makeup and hair needs! We did a trial for hair and makeup and somehow, it was even better on my actual wedding day! She was so relaxed and precise which helped me take a breather on such a hectic day. 10/10 got so many compliments!!

I had an amazing experience at Azura Salon and left with the most beautiful hair I’ve ever had! After listening to my concerns with my current hair and past balayages I was unhappy with from other salons, Naomi made a smart suggestion that we do baby lights instead. I had already read her glowing reviews and totally trusted her instincts; I’m so glad I did! After highlighting my hair she gave me a wonderful haircut, exactly what I wanted! Not only was this a comfortable and private experience, but Naomi is easy to talk to and she is pro at making a genuine connection with her clients rather than the small talk you usually engage in at salons (or awkward silence). This was a total game changer for me in terms of my comfort at a salon, and satisfaction with the end result. I am so happy I found Azura and Naomi!! 😊

I had both my trial and my wedding day hair and makeup done by Marilyn, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we met, she made me feel comfortable, listened closely to what I wanted, and was incredibly responsive. Marilyn has the range to create everything from minimalistic looks to full glam, and I appreciated that she never pushed me in either direction. We found the perfect in-between, and during the trial, she patiently worked with me to tweak my makeup and try different hairstyles until it felt just right. Marilyn is also such a wonderful person. She’s warm, easy to talk to, and made both the trial and my wedding morning feel calm and enjoyable. She’s also part of a network of artists who can step in if something unexpected happens, which gave me extra peace of mind leading up to the big day. Marilyn an incredibly talented artist, and I feel so lucky she was the one who helped me get ready for my wedding day. Thanks Marilyn! 💕

I have experienced haircuts and make up with Naomi- and can't say enough about both. Naomi always gives me the most perfect haircut! She talks to you thoroughly about what you want and also makes suggestions (so helpful) I have long hair and am often disappointed with my haircuts because they end up making my hair too flat or too short. Naomi's cuts give my hair a really nice bounce and bring back the waves and volume. For makeup, I called Naomi when I was in a bind as my make up artist had canceled on me just a few hours before our appointment (and my event). Naomi was so kind and opened her salon for me to get a glam up....and it looked amazing. I've been going to her since then and so glad I found this salon.

Naomi is the best! I've been seeing her regularly for over a year now for hair cuts, styling, color, etc. She's so talented and incredibly kind and she really takes the time to get to know her clients - every time I return (even if it's 6 months later), she remembers to ask about a trip I went on or a life event she remembered was coming up for me. She really invests in her clients. I highly recommend her! Edit January 2024: Naomi is amazing! I have been going to her for hair cuts/color/styling for several years now, and I love her so much I hired for her my wedding to do my hair and make-up, my mom's, my mother in law, and all 8 of my bridesmaids. She did a hair and make-up trial for both me and my mom prior to the wedding and she made it such a fun day - she's SO easy to five feedback to and has such a talent for making your vision come true, she really listens to what you want and what you care about. Come wedding day, she brought 3 of her incredibly talented fellow hair and make-up artists to work with everyone and they did a phenomenal job. Everyone looked beautiful and most importantly - still looked like themselves. Naomi was easy to work with, incredibly fair with pricing, and was a big factor in making my wedding day as amazing as it was. I also have to note - our wedding day came with a POURING rain storm - my hair and make-up didn't BUDGE. I was shocked, she did such a great job! Thank you!!
