Re: Hairstylist for long hair w/ split ends
I have had several great cuts from Kipp Hamilton, owner of O Maru Salon at Shattuck and Rose. 510-549-3610. Most recently he took me from overgrown, damaged, thick hair, down to about my bra band, to a lovely, layered short bob just above my shoulders. My partner said ''Wow!''

Re: Hair stylist for long curly hair
Hi, I recently went to Becky at Maru in Berkeley. She was really great, totally worked with what I wanted and made changes as she got used to how my hair reacted, since it was a first time together.
