Magic Design

Mae does it again.
I’ve been coming here for years! She’s the only woman that will see a photo of what you want your hair to look like, and make it happen. It may take longer than you expect, but the lady is busy! She runs this joint and so you may be passed back and forth between someone that washes your hair, someone else that gives you a hair treatment and then the lovely and efficient Mae that kicks ass and will make *sure* you leave looking 150% better than how you showed up!

This use to be my favorite hair salon been here for 5 years with my usual stylist.
Sadly when I went to get a perm this time she was unavailable with no explanation even though I called and asked for her.
With reluctance I decided to just do my perm bc I dint want to back

Usually the perm is $ 120 but for some reason they charged me about $ 135 this time which I don’t mind much until I saw the final results!
The curls that they gave me were my curls wayyy to small and kinda looked like an Afro even though I asked for a larger curl size
For 3 days I was upset bc my hair was a frizzy mess and was unable to do anything to make it less of a mess
A week after my initial perm my hair actually looked ok (no to curly /​frizzy)
3 weeks after my perm my hair looked almost flat (my original hair style)
Can’t believe I spend $ 135 dollars for a 1 month perm a waste of money! They said it last for at least 6 month total bull shit!
The worst thing was they lied to me about the whereabouts of my stylist!
I ran in to my usual stylist a few days ago and she told me she no longer works there and that the people working there are no good! (meaning they are not good at their job)
After I told her what had happen she offers to help me with the perm at her new location and she was kind enough to do it the way I wanted by asking me how big I wanted my curls and taking extra time to make sure they were done correctly!
Unlike at this location that quirted the chemicals in my face and made no effort to talk to me bc I did not speech their language!
Don’t come to this place a total ripoff ever since the old stylists left (sadly I don’t know the second lady’s name only my usual stylist)
Also the worker there care more about their looks then the customers I was shocked to see that the lady that helped me was actually doing her hair the entire time she was helping me wtf !!!

I’ve visited this salon a couple of times already. I typically come in for my dye jobs and just to curl my hair. On the last two dye jobs they left a lot of grey hair untouched. I went back the last time the owner May kind of brushed me off saying the bottom of my hair looks good. HELLO the top of my head is showing strains of white. Why the hell do I care what the middle of my head looks like? I HATE when someone doesn’t just admit fault say they are sorry and then fix it. I gave them a chance to fix they didn’t seem like they care and she was making excuses. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

This place is good for a quick, inexpensive haircut, but I must admit I would only see Lulu because she took her time at making you look «finished». I am heartbroken she has moved on. Does anyone know where she went?

I just had my haircut and loved it! Kevin was my hairdresser. He didn’t talk much that got me initially worried he might chop my hair all off. But after seeing how he used his scissors, I knew he’s good! The price was very reasonable, so I thought they’re counting on tips. I’ll go back.

I love coming here for my hair cut and facial. Its fast and easy… My hair cut usually take about 20 minutes and my facial an hour. 1.5 hrs later I’m done and beautiful. and the price is great too. just another bonus on top of the speedy service

I have been to Magic Hair Design for several years already. This is the only hair salon I trust. Their staff is very friendly and patient. Lulu is my hair designer. She is very professional, sweet and kind. I don’t have much hair volume, but she is very patient and always spends a long time on cutting my hair with care. I strongly recommand her.

Bad customer services. I was there waited about 20 mins for Simon. But someone just came in and Simon cut his hair before me. Asked me to wait another 45 mins. Will never comeback

This is a great family salon. The staff here took great care when cutting and styling our hair.

Magic Design is a great family-​friendly neighborhood place. Our family goes once a month as does our extended family. We always seek out Simon who not only does a wonderful job as a stylist, but is also very good with children and very personable. He’s always got a smile. He’s very efficient, too, which is great when you’re trying to squeeze hair cuts amidst other commitments. The rest of the folk there are also friendly and the place doesn’t lack for customers — good word of mouth spreads.

I came here for the first time about two years back with my cousins who needed a haircut. I honestly couldn’t understand why they would needed to drive from Oakland to all the way out here just for one. As soon as they were finished, they pressured me into getting one and I was amazed at the great work that May had done on my hair. I loved it! Went back to my old barber a few times afterwards back in Oakland and it just wasn’t the same. :(
Now every time I go back, I also go for a facial from Mandy. Wonderful job getting rid of my blackheads and I would just instantly fall asleep. Sure My face stays red for about two days, but hey, its a facial and I have terrible acne.
They are all wonderful and friendly. Definitely a good experience each and every time. Just make sure to call first to schedule an appointment for the facial.
Free parking at the residential areas (Not Noriega!).

Ken is my barber designer here! i always get my hair done by him, most of the time when he doesn’t rush, my hair looks great afterward! nothing to complain about, $ 11 with a wash afterward before tips, the wait usually don’t last more than 20min
