Justin colored my locs and I love what he did! He took one look at my original red color and toned it down. I’ve gotten more compliments since he has colored my hair, and I love it. I goto Justin for my hair color and not my locs.Services: Dreadlocks

Fantastic. Tiffany is amazing and such a great hair stylist. I also really appreciate how she shampoos my hair, it feels like a massage and I leave with very smooth and shiny hair.

The Salon is beautiful and Kate Tosh is phenomenal! Worth every penny!! My 14 yo daughter has very very curly hair, small tight curls, and Kate gave her the best hair cut she has ever had. LOVE!

I haven't had my hair cut since November 2019 and trust me I knew I should as time went by. Once I had settled in Alameda, I started checking out local salons on the island.Options for booking an appointment were through their website that'll re-direct you to their Vagaro account; phone numbers of the the stylists were available on the website as well. You could also call the salon or walk-in. I've seen options to be put on a waitlist if you're looking for the first available appointment.As I was making my appointment, I noticed that the stylist I had originally had my eye on was no longer working at the salon. I freaked out a bit, then a bit more research, felt comfortable and went through the process of booking with Cindy Le.You can tell a stylist is popular when their first availability is DAYS in advance. That was going to scare me off again but I really wanted to get my hair did SO I found a convenient date and time that would work for me. Let me just give you an idea... I booked my appointment on 3/27 to come into the salon on 4/12. I really would have liked it if it was during the week I was booking but alas. The first time slot was at 1:30 p.m. I'd have preferred a morning slot but there wasn't any.Booking through Vagaro was easy to follow. Giving you options of what services, stylists, date and time you would like. There was a comment section where you can add details regarding maybe your current hair situation and what you were expecting to have done. They will then send email and text notifications which I like.Day of appointment, I gave myself time to drive from my place to the salon. I hate street parking, so I needed some cushion just in case my car needed to do a little dance getting into a spot. I was SO disappointed when I arrived, there was NO parking along the storefronts. Alright, maybe there was but I wasn't comfortable or sure it was okay to park in certain areas. I parked on the cross street Paru and walked to the salon. The weather was nice, so I didn't mind.Nice and clean little salon, everyone was busy so I waited a few minutes before my stylist acknowledged me, offered me a drink and said I should take a seat in the waiting area. (At the time I didn't realize it was her, I was still nervous).After she was finished with her pervious client... it was showtime!We started with what I felt like a lengthy discussion of how much I wanted chopped off and the color I was hoping to achieve. We were so focused on the discussion that we snipped off the tail end of my hair before the "before" photo.I had wanted the cut to be at chest length and was hoping for a balayage, dark brown/copper/auburn... something along those lines. She talked me out of the balayage and suggested highlights instead, which I'm grateful for. If not, I think I would've been disappointed with the outcome. The cut was a bit shorter than I had imagined but my hair is HEALTHY and SMOOTH and I LOVE IT.I probably skipped some parts. Um, she did say she doesn't bleach before coloring. Thought that was weird, but I liked the end result, so it probably worked out for the better. She brought out books to help pick out the color I wanted to highlight my hair. So many options, but we found a shade to my liking. Had the color set for half an hour I believe? Enough for her to take her lunch break. When she came back though, I was in a middle of a real live game. I felt so bad! Haha. Luckily my gaming didn't get in the way of rinsing my hair.One look of the new color and I'm in love! Couldn't stop smiling during the rest of my haircut and she was happy I was happy.Cindy was helpful, and considerate. Always made sure I was comfortable and if I needed water. She was friendly and definitely someone I will see again for my hair maintenance. I would totally recommend her, but I don't think she has a problem with that! She's so busy.There is a bathroom, on the right, past the rinse stations.Paid Cindy through Venmo.Services: Hair coloring

I was in town visiting my brother and decided to get a haircut. Vincent set me up with Tiffany. She was so sweet and my haircut turned out beautiful. She even gave me a cup of tea for my throat. I highly recommend Salon 1500. Thank you Tiffany!

My stylist is Heather Dean and she's amazing. I met her at her previous salon in Oakland and when she moved to Alameda, of course I followed her. The salon itself is in a convenient location, parking easy and the place is clean and nice.Heather is a skilled hairdresser and an expert colorist. I'm Asian with really thick, coarse hair and she has found product to make the process of bleaching it so much faster and more comfortable.I've since moved to Seattle but schedule my trips to the Bay Area for work around my hair. She always gets me in even with last minute requests. I appreciate Heather and happy she's found a new home at Salon 1500. Highly recommend.

Juanita was fantastic! I love my curls so much it was exactly what I wanted based on the picture I showed her. She explained how to care for my curls and I felt like a new person. What a difference a new doo makes!!! Thank you Juanita!!

I usually don't write reviews for yelp, but this time I had to! I just gave birth to my son two months ago and desperately needed a haircut and color. My last haircut and color was about a year ago, so I was overdue for a refresh. And let me tell you, I am so glad I found this place! Cindy is so sweet and professional. I let her know what I had in mind and she delivered. I chopped of alot of hair, got some voluminous layers and some color. Not to mention, the salon is so cute, clean and modern. I will definitely be coming back.

Cindy has been my stylist for 3 years and I've never disappointed! She gave me good advice for how to do my hair so it'll stay healthy and good looking over time. I don't usually write a review on Yelp but I just love how my hair turned out today, it was beyond my expectation .

Really upset with the service. Tiffany had texted me multiple times regarding how she would like her payment in cash but never asked what I would like or needed for my haircut/hair color. I had assumed Vince would let her know what I asked for when I made the appointment for a light auburn color but unfortunately it looks like he relayed the information as caramel. Once I arrived at the salon I was unable to even continue with the color as she let me know she would not be able to lighten my hair without a few rounds as well as she didn't have the color with her at the salon. I had also let Vince know my natural hair color so I was confused hearing this for the first time. I really wish I would've known all that before after sitting in the chair for 10 mins. Tiffany was kind but I really think the salon could communicate with their employees and their potential customers better.
