Dimond Beauty Salon

If I could give 0 stars I would! Super expensive and not worth it! Young girl has a horrible attitude and mean mug

I’m really happy to have found this place. They do a great job on my son. But they get four stars because my hair cut wasn’t too great for the cost.

Sunny always takes great care of me! The entire staff is extremely kind and very accommodating. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of service you get. Sunny always makes me look sharp. Don’t let the quaint store front fool you, this place is a gem!

I really wanted to like this place as it came highly recommended from a (guy) friend. I made my appointment with Stephanie because I was told she is the best. When I got there, she was very friendly and welcoming. She asked how I wanted my hair cut and I explained that I wanted my shoulder length hair to be just slightly shorter in the back and that I wanted to keep it the same length in the front. I explained that I was trying to grow my hair out (my hair grows sooo slowly– I’ve been taking hair growth vitamins for the last 4 months hoping that will help) and I didn’t want much of the length cut off, just a gentle taper. Throughout my explanation, she was talking off and on to one of the other employees about the Christmas decorations they were putting up. I should have realized then that she wasn’t paying attention to what I was saying. Apparently all she heard was «shorter in the back». She started hacking away saying she would keep it longer and then if I wanted it shorter, she could make it shorter. Sounded good to me! Except then she used the clippers on the back of my head. CLIPPERS! When I reached my hand back there to feel my hair, there was hardly anything left! It’s short like a man’s hair! When I told her that was VERY short, she just responded by saying that I told her I wanted it shorter in back. Now I’m not usually someone who cries about my hair, but I spent the rest of the time in her chair trying hard to hold the tears back. It will take me at least 8 months just to get my hair back to where it was. And that international trip I’m taking in February where I was planning to just pull my hair back in a ponytail? Well, the ponytail sure isn’t going to happen because there’s NO HAIR LEFT to pull back. At first I was going to give Stephanie two stars because I thought that even though this is not at all what I asked for, it is a good cut. However, after looking at it today (day 2 post hack), I realize that in the front, it’s longer on one side than it is on the other! I did see them cutting lots of men’s hair and older women with very short hair, so maybe that’s their specialty. But, the moral of the story for me: if you have long hair and hope to keep it that way, DON’T GO HERE!!!

Been getting my hair cut by Stephanie for 4 years now and I’m still coming back! Other salons cost an arm and a leg for my cut but Dimond Hair Salon is affordable and the stylists are awesome. It’s not a super fancy salon, just a regular hair salon, but I don’t care about ambiance as long as they cut my hair great every single time and that’s what I get here. Call in advance for an appointment if you want to go with Stephanie because she is usually very busy and booked up.

Recently moved to the Eastbay and needed to find a new place to cut my hair. They are hands down the best salon I’ve ever been to! You can really see the attention to detail that they put in. For a guy, I’m used to short and quick buzz cuts with only clippers that take no more than 10 minutes. I guess I never really knew what a good haircut was until I came here. You can’t go wrong with any of the ladies there because they all do an outstanding job. My cut costs $ 17. Remember to call in ahead of time and tip them!

This is the same salon with Stephanie, Noon and Sunny that used to be on Fruitvale Avenue. It’s just right around the corner on the backside of Farmer Joe’s on MacArthur, next door to Lens hot dog stand and a shell service station. The new shop is still under renovation, but when it’s done I expect it to look awesome. It’s already much cleaner and nicer than the old space where I hear the landlord didn’t make any improvements for years. Stephanie still doing a great job at cutting and highlighting.
