She is my best hair stylist for the past 20 years. I drove over 60 miles to her salon from my new places and also went back after I was in overseas for 5 years.

I have been coming to Hiromi for years and have nothing but good things to say. I have thick,thick hair and it can easily be huge and bushy yet somehow Hiromi is always able to tame my wild hair with an amazing cut. The shape, texture and layers are always great. If I go in not really knowing what I want, Hiromi gives fantastic suggestions and let's me know what will and won't work for me and my hair texture. Hiromi is fantastic at helping me continue to hide my ever increasing grey hair with highlights. She knows I am not huge into maintenance and gives me color that will work with the amount of effort I want to put into my hair. And my absolute favorite part of this whole salon experience... the hands-down best hair wash/scalp massage ever. Truly. I would come here for that alone. I almost fell asleep today while getting my hair washed, that's how awesome it was. Everyone at this family run business is friendly and welcoming. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Highly recommend to anyone looking to get an excellent cut and color while supporting small business in our community.

Hiromi has been doing my hair for over 10 years. I won't go anywhere else. My boyfriend's daughter's hair has been ruined by other salons/box dyes. I decided to take her to Hiromi to see what she can do. As always, Hiromi did an AMAZING job. I was blown away! The picture speaks for themselves! Hiromi advised for a balayage since the client wanted to keep the length and not cut the ends, but wanted to ditch the orange color. Hiromi technique is flawless. Only person I'd recommend.

Yoshi cuts my hair. My numerous "cow licks" in my head are no problem for him. He is the first person to cut my hair properly.Recently I totally enjoyed a facial from the owner, Kathy. Using Japanese techniques as well as the newest products from Japan, this was a phenomenal facial. Her skills and use of products is highly recommended by me. Treat yourself~~~you won't be disappointed.

The service I receive from Yoshi who cuts my hair is awesome. He is the first hair stylist who knows how to deal with the cowlicks all over my head. The cut is always impeccable! Recently they have transformed the salon to meet high standards for COVID issues. Recently Kinuko gave me the most amazing facial. So relaxing and my skin is glowing. The technology which she uses from Japan is unbelievable. Her rapid hand movements almost had me sleeping!!! You will not be disappointed in this salon regardless of the service you choose.

We have a Bay Area gem in Alameda at Kinuko's Beauty Creation. I have 3 different types of thick hair textures; Hiromi's well-trained hands, artistry, and aesthetics combine to make world class cuts and coloring that bring consistent and sharp results-- every time! That says a lot, considering I've been coming here for 15 years. Kinuko, the owner, and team stay on top of their trade, seek excellence in their craftsmanship, and run a clean, efficient, relaxing, and welcoming salon that meets the needs and expectations of their inter-generational clientele. It's so wonderful that the salon is open for full service again after COVID-19 shutdown. My son and I both got in their schedule and everyone remained masked with plenty of social distance between patrons. Come get onto their calendar and help this special place thrive through this period.

Yoshi cut my hair and he was great for a men's haircut. It's full hair wash and cut. He's also great to chat with. Kinuko and Hiromi are also super friendly.

This review is long overdue. Kinuko's the best hair stylist.... Actually everybody is great at her beauty saloon. She did my hair and make-up on my wedding and it was beautiful . I trust her with what style she does to my hair because it always ends up pretty and stylish. She's the best!

Cash/check only, no debit/credit cards; the atm across the street in the laundromat isn't reliable, so make sure you've got cash on you beforehand..

I am a new customer and everyone made me feel so welcome. I had facial by Kinuko and it was fantastic! I also love their Ultrasound vibration machine. This is one stop beauty salon for all. I highly recommend Kinuko's Beauty Creation!

My sister and I have been going to Kinuko's for around a decade now, and no matter how many times we tried to experiment with another hairstylist we keep coming back! Kinuko and Hiromi are the kindest and have developed meaningful relationships with us and our family. Throughout my childhood, I asked for some interesting hairstyles but they never failed to give me what I wanted. I've got multiple straight perms from here, had my hair colored, and come for trims. This is an amazing family business!
