Seeking hair stylist for fine but voluminous short hair

I have fine hair, but lots of it, and need a stylist who is a wizard with texture and layers and can remove a lot of weight and volume from my hair (usually between chin length and shoulder length), otherwise I look like a dandelion.  I also need a low maintenance style that can handle no products, no blow drying, and a long time between cuts.  My long time stylist (15 years) has moved away, and I would love recommendations for a new stylist. Locations in Oakland, south Berkeley, or Emeryville would be great.  Thanks very much.

I like Terry Abebe: 510 339-0844 Shes currently in Montclair in Oakland. I have fine curly hair and my son has very thick curly hair and she cuts both our hair.

I highly recommend my stylist Sandra Nider at Revive Salon on Hopkins in Berkeley. She's a gifted stylist, knows how to handle all kinds of hair. https://www.revivesalon1601.com/ 

Hi,

Our whole family has been seeing April Antz for about 15 years. I have very thick and curly hair, my husband has thick, thinner hair, my son has thick wavy hair. April can do it all. She's located on Alcatraz, just off of Adeline. Her salon, Bias, is small and quaint. April is amazing. I highly recommend her.

Best of luck!

I recommend Ruby at Eclipxe Hair Salon in Berkeley. I have thick hair and she gives great hair cuts (gives it shape). Also, she is just a lovely person to spend time with!

I have similar hair and styling needs and have had a great experience for the past 10+ years with Melanie Shapiro who owns Charm School Salon in Emeryville. I often go six months or more between cuts.

I have very thick hair (strangers have actually stopped me on the street to comment on it) and highly recommend my stylist, Matt Dixon. He cuts at Jau Jou Studio  on Grand in Oakland. He does something called a "disconnect" that takes off considerable weight. No other stylist I've ever been to knew how to do this. I get my hair cut twice, maybe 3 times a year and also don't use products nor do I blow dry. Even after 4 or 5 months I still get compliments on my cut.  Matt uses products on my hair when he dries it but has never tried to get me to buy any. www.jaujoustudio.com, tel. 510-208-3449
