Alpha Omega Hair Studio

Alpha Omega Hair Studio is a hair and beauty salon in Richmond, California, founded in 2001 by María de la Paz Meléndez. Before opening her own salon, she spent almost a decade working at several other salons. The studio says it has more than twenty years of experience serving Richmond and nearby areas, and it welcomes clients of every age, including families who come in across generations.

The salon describes its mission as offering beauty services with quality, respect and honesty, without unrealistic promises. It lists transparency about processes, results and prices, along with commitment, teamwork and leadership as values. The team says it listens to each client and gives candid advice about what is advisable for them, with attention to long-term hair and skin health rather than only the immediate change. It also states a goal of training independent professionals and eventually opening a second location.

A visit is designed to be culturally sensitive, and clients who ask for a private space can have one. The salon is open Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 6pm and Saturday from 8am to 5pm, closed Sunday and Monday, with special hours available by prior consultation. The phone number is +1 (510) 227-4473. The salon lists specialized diplomas in body care, facials and advanced color, and a professional license is listed on its site. It also reports a 5.0 rating on Google and cites a 2004 contest win and L'Oréal New York among its credentials.

Services span haircuts for women, men and children, color and color design, color correction, perms, and hair treatments including botox, deep hydration, keratin and repair treatments. Skin services include Korean facials, custom facials, head spa, waxing and eyebrow ironing and tinting. Body care offers body wraps for skin firming and cavitation, and event work includes professional makeup and special occasion styling. Home-care products include a shampoo and conditioner duo, a protective hair oil and a hair cream.
