Covid cautious haircut
Can anyone recommend a salon that is still taking Covid precautions. Hoping to find a salon that is only taking one or 2 customers at a time, or even operating outdoors.
Thanks

Classic Cuts on Grand Ave. seems to fit your request. I don't know if they specifically seek to only have 2 customers at a time, but based on the amount of stations it's been the case each time we've been there that there have only been 2 customers. Additionally they leave the front door open and of course everyone is wearing a mask.
I don't know if you're seeking haircuts for the whole family or a child, but Betty is very good with children.
Pony Salon—requires proof of vaccination, masking, temperature check. All staff are vaccinated and mask.
I've been going to Amy Walk-up at Walk-up Salon. She was originally a stylist at an Aveda salon in downtown Oakland but it sadly closed. She now has her own business and operates on the front porch of her home in the Dimond District in Oakland. She is a really good listener and gives great cuts. I've been seeing her for years.

I have been seeing Kiki Kaski at Keter Salon in Berkeley. I feel very safe seeing her. Everyone wears a mask and the stylists do testing every couple weeks. Their precautions on on their website.

I've had two haircuts at Wood Salon (on College Ave) where I was the only client, or one of two clients in the salon (even on a weekend). They also check for vaccination at the door. For kids, Snips on College only does one haircut at a time. Customers & stylists are fully masked at all times.
Not sure what you meant by Covid precautions, but I just went one today with the hair dresser and myself both wearing masks the whole session. She only takes one customer at a time, in her studio. She is fully vaccinated. If this sounds right to you, feel free to send me a message and I can provide details.
Eric Tran runs Modern Family Hair Salon (on San Pablo near Portland Avenue) by himself, so when he cuts my hair it's just the two of us. He is fully vaccinated and taking all possible precautions -- he disinfects everything, keeps the door open and the fan on, and we are both masked the whole time. He's also the best hair person I've ever had! Before the pandemic he was so busy that I had to book months in advance, but he has more openings these days. www.modernfamilyhairsalon.com.
Hi there,
Revival Salon on Adeline requires proof of Covid vaccination + masks for all customers, and all stylists are vaccinated and masked as well. You can see their Covid guidelines here: http://www.revival510.com/who-we-are/more/
They are located at 3312 Adeline near the corner of Alcatraz (where they hold Thursday Farmer's Market). They're LQBTQIA+ friendly, do kids, have barber services, etc. Salons really got hit hard during the shutdown and I'm glad this one made it. I've known these stylists for years (many of them have raised/are raising kids through BUSD and other local community districts) and I just wanted to give them a supportive shoutout.
