One member says “It's a little drive and it's not the most glamorous salon, but it was worth it. They do weaves, relaxers, cuts, coloring, flat ironing, updo's, braiding (in and out), and nail care. I went to Tranisha (510.875.5446) to get my hair cut and flat ironed & was happy with her work.  In addition to all the things listed above, she'll do twists and other natural styles.”
