Before you book

A few things we get asked.

Do you take walk-ins?

We do our best when we have time blocked for you, so booking ahead through Vagaro is the safest bet. If you're nearby, you're welcome to call and ask — sometimes there's an open chair.

I have curly hair — can you actually cut it?

Yes. Bertha is the salon's curly-hair specialist — clients drive in from all over the Bay for her cuts. We cut to how your curl actually moves, not how it looks wet in the chair.

What if I need a braid or updo for an event?

Please ask. Other salons say they "don't do that" — we'd rather have the conversation. Whether it's a wedding, a stage appearance, or a braid that needs to hold for a few days, mention the timeline when you book and we'll plan the chair time properly.

I'm a new client and my hair has color history. What should I send?

A couple of recent photos of your hair (sunlight is best), what was last done to it and how long ago, and an inspiration shot of where you'd like to go. Send it through the form above and we'll write back with the right service and time.

Cancellation policy?

Life happens — please give us as much notice as you can so we can offer the chair to someone on the waitlist. Cancellations and reschedules are easiest through your Vagaro confirmation email.

Ready when you are

Pick a chair, pick a time.
