Re: Stylist for very curly hair
i know you need someone in the east bay but if there's any way you can make the trip to the city, kelle schlax at vertical clearance on valencia changed my life and can help you. i have hated my curly hair for 30 years but randomly found kelle three salons ago and would go anywhere for her haircuts. she's in your price range, has curly hair herself, and will have you leave feeling hip and loving your hair. no 80s gymnast cut, no sideshow bob, no tears! 803 Valencia St San Francisco, CA 94110 (415) 285-8166 good luck! rachel

Re: Tomboy wants to look more feminine
Best tomboy friendly salon I've been to is vertical clearance on Valencia/21st. Easy, low key folks. Diane, the owner, is always a good bet although I've never had a bad experience there in many, many years. anon
