Re: Looking for a great, affordable colorist
I would like to recommend a local stylist named Susan Bailey. She has done my hair for most of my life, and I have done everything from perm, to butch cut, to color, to highlight to bleach my hair! She is fairly priced, and has a satisfaction-guaranteed attitude! (She will readjust if needed.) I am sure you would find her 30+ years of experience helpful. She works at Chic Salon on Shattuck avenue and can be reached at (510) 472-1006. pamela

Re: Hairstylist 4 curly hair -Marin/Sonoma?
Susan Bailey is a terrific curly hair stylist. She has been working with me since the mid-1980s. She is in Berkeley (not Marin or Sonoma - but worth the trip and you can get a good cup of coffee at the French Hotel). Her number is 510/472-1006 Bobbye

Re: Highlights for less than $75?
I highly recommend Susan Bailey. She has done my hair since age 13, and I am now (ahem) 35...and has helped me to do everything from cuts, highlights, full-dying, bleaching, drastic boy cuts :), and perms. She is reasonably priced and also has other esthtician-type skills. Make sure you ask for a neck massage with your shampoo- she's talented!!! I hope you enjoy your experience-- She will make sure you do! She does males, and females, adults, kids and teens! (510) 472-1006 She independently contracts in the Chic Salon on Shattuck. pamela
