GlamSity

First and won’t be my last time. From the initial phone call, to coming In the shop was a great experience. Monique saved me when another hairstylist in the area left me hanging last minute. I was able to get a rinse, sew in and tips on how to keep my hair up until my next visit.

I get my hair relaxed by Tamar and she is the best stylist I’ve ever had. She knows a lot about hair and my hair is so healthy now more than ever. Really good price too less than $ 100 for a relaxer and trim. I never want to get my hair done by anyone else; TAMAR IS PERFECT

Blu, the owner performs magic. She took my extremely curly hair and transformed me into an edgy modern mom. I felt hip, and beautiful.
The salon is adorable, the staff is so sweet and kind. I was seen promptly and my consultation was great. Blu knew EXACTLY the look I was going for.
I have never had a weave and was a bit nervous. Blu put me at ease and worked her magic. I have found my salon and will only be going there.

Yes! Matilda the shilda is in Oakland tooday and I got my hair did! Blu is the best, just be ready to spend if you want the real deal. This isn’t some hole in the wall barbershop with a two-​dollar cut and dry; the stylists are trained, knowledgable and know what they are doing. Wait, those last two mean the same thing. See that’s what happens from a great haircut — leaves you feeling fluffy and confused.

I LOVE this place! Will never get my hair done anywhere else! Blu is an amazing owner and the people she works with are funny and engaging even for an introverted geek like myself. I always have a great time here and the complements on my hair are endless. Prices are fair and she uses top quality products for her clients. I have gotten a relaxer and cut here so I don’t know about weave services but for a black owned salon that caters to everyone, this is about as professional as any salon gets. The salon itself is well cared for and decorated and they even serve coffee and tea. GlamSity customer for life.

Amazing customer service here! I have a lot of curly hair, and was worried that it would be too much to handle, but they handled it with ease and perfection and I left extremely happy. They knew exactly what to do with my hair. The salon is very nice, and has so many services. All the staff are extremely friendly and sweet! Again, the quality customer service was incredible. I definitely will go back.:)

Just went to Glam Sity this weekend and I had a great experience! The shop is absolutely the cutest shop I’ve ever seen. The artwork is beautiful and the customer service is great. They make you feel really comfortable!

My weekly experience is way passed the 5 stars allowed. I have been going to Glamsity for over 2 years now and I love it. The staff is extremely professional and helpful whether or not you are their client. The «manager» is a gem. Alicia is sooooo professional and pays great attention to detail (s). Blu (my stylist/​owner) is an expert of her craft. She is like a mad scientist in the lab when she creates a new cut or design. I really was hesitant about writing a comment on Unilocal,as I want Glamsity all to myself. Anyway, I am sharing. So if you are ready for a professional «salon» experience and not a «beauty shop» then check out Glamisty. Blu, Tamar, Deb, or Sharrell are all great hair stylists so you can go wrong with any of them. Andria does great nails and designs. Also, I have never seen an African American nail technician so bravo! Luv you guys see you soon «Pentay».
:)

I looked for months for a reputable stylist that could enhance my style, Blu the owner far surpassed my expectations. I am now a loyal weekly customer. The positive family style atmosphere only enhances the professionalism. I consider myself lucky to have found this gem!

I really like the service here. I am going back soon

Glam Sity is pretty great.
1. I have locs
2. I needed a last minute appointment on a Thursday
These two things would normally mean I’d have to wait until next week or even next month. I called around and Glam Sity was able to squeeze me in. Tamar did a great job with my hair… she knew how to twist and style and best of all: SHE LISTENS. I got exactly what I asked for and she knew to do things without my having to ask. My hair looks fabulous and the price was RIGHT.
The service was friendly conversation was great and the other stylists in the shop were nice too.
Good stuff all around.
Thank you Tamar and thank you Glam Sity!

So when it comes to hair i’m not one to experiment much because i’m very self conscience– which is why I was afraid to venture out to another stylist. But i realized I needed a change and had to find someone that understands my hair.
After reading several reviews on GlamSity and looking at their website I booked an appointment and crossed my fingers.
I arrived a bit early for my appointment and immediately felt the warmth. I met my stylist — Tamar and waited as she worked on another customer. My first thought was, hmm my appointment is at 11 and its 10:50am now. The customer she’s working on isn’t close to being done so of course i thought i’m going to be here for a long time. But at 11am she took me to the back for a shampoo and I explained the issues with my hair. Throughout my shampoo Tamar told me to relax because she would take good care of me. Ahh, music to my ears. She left me with a conditioner for about 10min or so, washed it out and blew my hair out.
Now time for the test… Can Tamar make a picky customer who came in feeling lousy about herself happy? Absolutely! Tamar not only had me leaving her chair with hair that moved but she provided me with great confidence to match.
Will I be back? You betcha!
Tamar — thank you thank you.
** Oh by the way. when I booked my appointment online I noted I would need to be out by 12:30. Tamar acknowledged my note and had me out on time. Now that’s what I call service.

My hair was damaged by a different salon, and I went to GlamSity for help. I am one of those people that has no clue when it comes to hair care. I was assigned to Tamar, and she was wonderful. First of all, she explained everything to me, and second of all, even though my hair had to be cut due to the other salon, she gave me a cut that was very cute. Thirdly, since getting my hair done is a way of relaxing and self-​care, the atmosphere is one of the things that is important to me. The shop had a wonderful look with soothing, wonderful music playing, as opposed to loud daytime TV shows and little angels running around and screaming. I was very happy when I left, and I just scheduled my next appointment on their website (another plus for me!)

This review is for Charita. Charita has been my stylist for the better part of 2 years, and she consistently does an excellent job with a great attitude. She is incredibly friendly, very accommodating with my last-​minute requests to come in, and I consistently get compliments on my hair. I’ve been through a lot of stylists, some who left me in tears after leaving their chairs, and I always leave Charita’s chair feeling like a beauty queen. The salon is very nice and it’s a very relaxing atmosphere in which to get my hair done. I’ll definitely keep coming back!

I have been loyally getting my hair styled by Charita for about 2 or 3 years now and she is the BEST!!! She is kind, accommodating, professional and just a joy to be around. I have never been disappointed with my hair and I will continue to have her as a stylist. I usually get a sew in weave or a flat iron/​press.
I will like to also add that the salon in general is beautiful and all of the other stylists are great. They are all extremely friendly and have individual strengths… depending on what type of style you are looking for. So give them a try and you will not be disappointed.

Was referred to Charita by a friend. This being my first time getting hair extensions I was nervous. Well no need. Charita did an amazing job on my very thin baby fine Irish hair. My extensions look amazing. I have gotten soo many compliments on them and I can tie my hair up, down or whatever with no tracks showing. And more so… you cannot tell at all where my hair starts and where the extensions do… she did a seamless job.
The salon itself is beautiful… very feminine and inviting. Cant wait to go back and continue to have long thick hair thanks to Charita! :)

AH MAY ZINGGGG!!! (To put my experience at GlamSity in one word)
From the initial phone call to schedule the appointment, to the wonderfully friendly and so helpful energy of EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the salon; I am indeed an oh so happy camper!!!
Now I’m one who is extremely loyal to my stylist once I find one that I adore and I can honestly say that Tamar not only has the skills to blow anyone out of the water in styling, but has the best welcoming personality and spirit! She made me feel as if we’ve known each other forever and not in that «girl you sit while I tell you my life’s woes and eat this lunch while I should be doin ya hair» kind of way… she was accommodating in the best way and GlamSity now has yet another cheerleader and huge fan in me!
I would recommend this location to anyone and everyone!!!
The pricing is reasonable, just check the website — you’ll see for yourself! It truly is one stop shopping for your beauty luxuriating needs.
I truly departed GlamSity feeling GLAMMED RIGHT ON OUT!!!
I’m a fan for life!!!

Charita! Charita! Charita! Can’t say enough about my first experience with this young woman and the entire establishment.
Now, I have to admit that I am a very difficult client. I like things a certain way, and I have been getting my head weaved since I was 19.(I ain’t gonna tell you how old I am) but let’s just say the better of 25 years.
This was one of the most pleasant beauty days I have ever had!
If you are like me and you get your hair did every 6 – 8 weeks, you know that if you are going to a popular shop…“you just gotta take whatever I give you” is the the attitude you usually have to endure.
Not only was she pleasant (*she radiated with such a bright energy) but the entire experience was equivalent to a day spa. She took my hair down in now time flat, massaged my naked head and conditioned it with prowess and put me back on the planet with a new hairstyle that blinged!
Everyone in the establishment was very welcoming and pleasant. not a negative word or gesture. I was even fortunate enough to witness serenaded by an adjacent stylist.(what a fabulous voice… she really needs to audition for the voice next week).
When all was said and done, I walked away very happy and pocket book wasn’t completely frozen!
I highly recommend this woman and this salon to all my sistas and brothas who really want the right place to celebrate your crown!

Keeping this review short & sweet… just like my hair cut. Basically, I love this shop. Its very professional, very clean, very edgy, and I have had positive experiences with the staff here every since I have been going. My stylist is Mia Robinson… Mia’s hair cutting is precise and she is open to her client’s suggestions. Every time I walk out of there I am completely satisfied. Great hair shop!

I’m SO happy I came to GlamSity!
Review for the salon:
Overall the salon looked very clean and upscale. The atmosphere was extremely comfortable with KBLX on the radio… Everyone I encountered was very friendly and there wasn’t a lot of loud talking, just beauticians working hard on beautiful hair! Additionally, the location is great– right next to a couple restaurants and across the street from a paid parking lot. I would definitely love to get my hair done here again
Review for the stylist:
I saw Charita for a sew-​in weave with leave out in the front, and let me say that this may be the best weave I have ever had! She took about 3 hours and sewed the flattest most undetectable weave my head has ever experienced. I am able to put it up in a ponytail part down the middle or on the side… Charita is super sweet and accommodating AND knows what she is doing. She takes her time to make sure she does her job the right way (she braids small cornrows which lie better with your weave than huge thick cornrows) – Last but not least, the prices are affordable!
All in all – 5 Stars! I am EXTREMELY happy with my hair and I will DEFINITELY be coming back and Charita is the one to see!
