Re: Tricky hair, thick with hidden waves
I highly recommend the Darin David Salon on Solano in Albany. Darin, the owner, is extremely energetic and acommodating. He has many years of experience and his salon is clean and the prices are pretty reasonable. Besides this, his salon is a one stop shop for other beauty services. Marcella

Re: Wonderful hair dresser for curly hair
I posted a similar question on BPN a while back about my frizzy, curly hair and followed some recommendations to try Darin David Salon in Berkeley on Solano. Darin, the owner, has been cutting and coloring my hair for about a year and he is wonderful. I've gotten many compliments and for the first time in many years my curls are gentle, not frizzy. He also did some new things with the color that I love. His salon is a lovely, relaxing place to be. I've heard good things about the other hair sylists there, too. No longer frizzy

Re: Stylist for very curly hair
I love my stylist. I have very curly long hair and he's been cutting it for 10 years. One of my sisters, also has very curly hair, goes elsewhere, but she admits that her cuts are not as consistent as mine. His is the owner of Darin David Salon on Solano, in Berkeley. He is Darin, the owner. People stop me often and tell me what beautiful hair I have. I really think that the cut has everything to do with it because even on days when I feel that it looks somewhat frizzy it still looks very good! He really is great with curly hair. anon

Re: good hair stylist in or near Albany?
My sister with very high standards turned me on to Darin David Salon on Solano (across from Peet's). Camilla does both of our hair, but everyone there is a pro. Don't know if everyone charges the same price. Camilla has been cutting our hair for a very affordable $45 (especially since we have longish curly styles). The number is 510-524-8121 It's also quite a nice environment. She'll offer you tea and take the time to talk to you about exactly what you want in a style and cut before she begins. Happy with hair

Re: Hair stylist for fine long hair
I also have fine hair and have been getting great haircuts from Camilla at Darin David Salon on Solano Ave (524-8121). She's given me more style than I've ever had, and is a lovely person besides.
