University Hair Care
A neighborhood salon on University Avenue for cuts, color and everyday upkeep in west Berkeley.
Acerca de
University Avenue runs straight from the Berkeley Marina up to the campus gates, and the 1400 block, where University Hair Care keeps its chair, is the stretch of small storefronts between San Pablo Avenue and Sacramento Street. Daisy Sanchez is the contact on record for this west Berkeley salon in Alameda County. What appears here was pieced together from public business listings; the salon's owner has not yet reviewed it.
What a salon of this kind handles
A neighborhood hair salon in Berkeley typically covers the regular upkeep that keeps people coming back every few weeks: haircuts for women, men and children, trims and bang shaping, fades and clipper work, blow-dry styling and simple updos for an evening out. Chemical services usually run a longer appointment: single-process color, root touch-ups, highlights or balayage, gray coverage, perms and relaxers.
Shops on this part of University Avenue tend to draw a mix of students, families from the surrounding streets and people who work nearby, so expect a practical, no-fuss atmosphere rather than a spa setting. Whether a particular treatment such as keratin smoothing or hair extensions is offered is something to confirm by phone.
Booking tips
Call ahead for color, perms or anything over an hour; a basic cut may be available on a walk-in basis, but the wait varies by time of day. Bring a photo of the style you want, mention any recent color or chemical treatment, and ask for a quick strand test before a first-time color if your hair has been bleached or relaxed. Ask what the quoted service includes, for example whether a wash and blow-dry come with the cut, and whether a stylist who works with your hair texture is on the schedule that day. If you are bringing a child, ask about kids' pricing and the quietest hours.
Neighborhoods nearby
The salon is a short bus or bike ride from most of Berkeley, and people also come from Oakland, Albany, Emeryville, El Cerrito, Richmond, Kensington and Alameda. Street parking on University Avenue is metered; the side streets to the north are quieter.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioDo I need an appointment for a haircut in Berkeley?
Many neighborhood salons take walk-ins for basic cuts when a chair is free, but color, perms and long appointments are almost always booked. Call first to ask about walk-in hours and how long the wait usually runs on the day you plan to visit.
How far in advance should I book color?
For a root touch-up a few days is usually enough; for highlights, balayage or a major change ask for a consultation a week or two ahead so the stylist can plan the session and order any product needed.
What should I tell the stylist before a chemical service?
Mention any color, henna, relaxer, keratin or box dye in the last year, plus any scalp sensitivity. This lets the stylist choose a safe formula and decide whether a strand or patch test is needed before the full application.
Can I bring my child for a cut?
Most salons of this kind cut children's hair. Ask about the calmest time of day, whether a booster seat is available and whether kids' cuts are priced differently, so the visit goes quickly.
