Unique Hair Image

Small hair salon, but she does a great job cutting your hair and makes sure you’re satisfied. She’s friendly and skilled at what she does. I would definitely recommend this place.

Oh yeah … Irene is off the hook especially if you speak Cantonese … she always have some funny story about something or someone lol… will never be any awkward moments here, she’s really sociable with anybody… I’ve been coming here to get my haircut from her for 16 years now believe it or not and she never disappoint me. if there were 10 star rating she would get that from me … call her … she’s amazing.

Since I was in high school, this is my to-​go place for hair cuts and oil treatment. Even my whole family gets their hair cuts here. The owner is a one-​woman shop and you’ll need to make an appointment before she’ll do any work on you. The owner is really nice but some times, she comes off as rude. There were times where my hair doesn’t come out as nice as I would liked it (even though I always have her cut my hair the same way since my college days), but it’s no big deal since my hair grows pretty fast. This location is pretty far for me but I’ll definitely make a special trip just for a hair cut.

I came in today to get a hair trim and to get my layers redone. She does an amazing job! My family and I have been going to her for over 5 years! She does exactly what you ask for while modifying it a bit, so that the haircut will fit you best! (Of course she’ll let you know how she’s changing it before actually doing it.) For $ 15 she shampoos and condition your hair, cuts it, blow dry it out, and style it for you! I haven’t been able to find any other place to top the experience and deal that she provides. Will most definitely recommend her to others!

Irene is the best. My homie introduced me to her once and I’ve been going to her ever since. Just told her a style I wanted and she adjusted to the shape of my big ass head, haha. Turned out great!

I finally found it!
I went to school in Berkeley– if you are an Asian male like me, there is a good chance you got faded up by Jenny at Berkeley Hair Studio at one point or another.
Jenny is awesome. But long waits are not.
I’ve been on the hunt for another salon for the past several years. Closer to Oakland where I now reside.
Theres been times when I’ve come close to finding a good spot, but it always left me feeling a little empty inside. And so I drifted aimlessly until…
I met Irene.
Irene is an OG– she has been cutting hair for 20 years.
Nice, professional, and damn talented.
I gave her a little direction, and she knocked out a perfect haircut.
Pricing, location, wait time– EXCELLENT.
Give her a call, you won’t be disappointed.

OMG I can’t believe there isn’t any reviews here yet! I’ve been coming to this salon for almost 2 years. No other hair salon in Oakland is comparable to what she can do. Men’s hair cut is only $ 12. My bf has really short hair and when he felt that it wasn’t worth $ 12 to cut, he had tried 2 other salons in Oakland who were charging $ 8 and they all did a horrible job. Before I found Unique, I went to another hair salon who charged $ 10 and it was just bad. She works alone and is very hard working and friendly. Try her, she is great!
