Good hair salon(s) in El Cerrito / Berkeley
I'm looking for two different experiences. First I'd like to find someone who can cut and color fine, curly hair well. Any experience with Reflections in El Cerrito or any other good salons?
Second, my college-age daughter would like an "edgy" haircut for medium length curly hair. I'm hoping to find someone who can create a look that is *both* professional and edgy. There are some great recommendations for 2006, but that's awhile ago. She would also be willing to travel farther if necessary. Thanks!

I have been going to Diane at Reflections and she is fantastic.A friend of mine who moved to Benecia still goes to her,as does another woman I met there who moved to Alameda.My daughter who is 27 likes her too.
I know Reflections and they are good. I use Diane, but there are younger stylists who are also good. Can't beat the fees.
I have recently been using Tery Varela who owns Chroma Salon in Albany on Solano, west of San Pablo. She is wise with color and does fine with my super curly hair. I also find her prices reasonable.
Patricia Lewis from La Peluqueria in Berkeley, specializes in curly hair and color..
I have been her client for years!
Hi - Gail Hassall at Bellezza Salon in El Cerrito (Fairmount Avenue, across from Fatapple's) is very experienced with curly hair. Gail has been cutting my hair for 20 plus years. She is very experienced and reliable. Although I do no have curly hair, my daughter does (tons of thick curly hair) and Gail has been very helpful to her. And, Gail, herself, has very curly hair. She definitely knows how to work with curls!
