Yelp.com Review - by Sara B.

5.0 of 5 stars. I'm a big fan of this place. I have been going to Cynthia to have my hair done for about a year and a half. She is fantastic! As most ladies will attest, it can be very difficult to find the "right"...

Yelp.com Review - by Patricia H.

3.0 of 5 stars. I had a perfectly acceptable massage and facial here over the weekend. Nothing exciting, nothing special, nothing to write home about, nothing to embellish or tell you about, just acceptable.The end.

Yelp.com Review - by Jennifer V.

5.0 of 5 stars. Both my mother and I have our hair done at Phoenix Rising Salon. I work in the media, so a bad hair day can be ridiculed by thousands in an instant. I fully trust Cynthia, the owner, whose experience...

Yelp.com Review - by papaya s.

1.0 of 5 stars. My experience dates back a year, but it was so astonishingly awful, that I have to report it now. I came in to Phoenix Rising requesting a loose body wave for my long, thin hair. I'm not from the...

Yelp.com Review - by LHM M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Erin A. left the Grand Ave / Lakeshore stroll for the rolling hills of Montclair. We had to visit her in her new digs and were pleasantly surprised to find such a comfortable atmosphere. Nice place,...

My recent visit to Phoenix Rising melted my aprehension when it comes to trusting the gal standing behind me with the scissors and hair color! I've been cutting and coloring my own hair for years as a beauty...

This salon is truly a great find located on Moraga Way in Oakland. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and from the moment you walk in the staff makes you feel welcome and boy do you get pampered. I have been...

A salon that listens to what their customers want.

My husband has hard hair to cut. He has a full head of hair and if it isn't cut right, he ends up looking like a Q-tip during the grow-out phase. My husband is also pretty conservative and many stylists try...

Greatest salon I have ventured into in a long time.

I ran across this salon on a stroll one afternoon on my lunch hour. The staff was very professional and eager to please me. Cynthia, the owner, was extremely outgoing and accomodated me in scheduling my...

Real people who "get" hair

Friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Hairstlists who understand how to keep hair healthy while making you look gorgeous. Shampooing is actually a lovely head massage.

Fantastic hair and great people

All I know is that I went in hating my hair (really hating) and came out loving it. Cynthia totally understood my rantings about my hair and worked her magic. I'm growing it out and wanted new color and she...

Not the best place for perms...

Despite friendly service, I had a disappointing experience at Phoenix Rising. I requested a "body wave," and I left with a head full of tight spiral curls. It felt like a "one-size-fits-all" approach to...

GET IN HERE!!

6.9??? I don't think so. I have been going to see Alicia since I moved to CA in '92. This is BY FAR the most welcoming, friendly and professional salon we've been to. Treats for our daughter and for our dog -...
