Gerard's Salon (Oakland, CA)

Re: Fantastic, affordable stylist - fine hair
I'm the poster child for fine, straight hair and highly recommend my stylist - Gerry Turner at Gerard's Hair Design on Piedmont in Oakland (510-547-4107). As a busy professional, I've struggled for years to find someone who could give me real style without a lot of fuss and product. Jerry is a master with scissors, does a wonderful job with color and highlights (yes, I'm over 40) and the cost for a cut is under $50. I'm a convert because my husband, an attorney, someone who also has a stake in looking good, has used Gerry for 35 years. I've patronized big name salons on both coasts (Bay Area and New York City) and Gerry's skill and artistry far surpasses that of any stylist I've encountered in my past. Satisfied in Berkeley

Re: Hair stylist recommendation needed in East Bay
I am responding to your post asking for a hairstylist recommendation. My hairstylist is very talented and located in the East Bay. Her name is Hashima. She has a chair at Gerard's located on Piedmont Avenue (nr. X 41st St.) in Oakland. She can cut and style any kind of hair and when you leave her shop you look and feel like a million bucks. Her phone number is (510)655-2208. She does work on Saturday, but you better call now to get an appointment for 12/2/06 Fran
