About

Aya Salon is on Solano Avenue in Berkeley and covers three areas: hair color, haircut and styling, and hair treatments. Color options range from balayage and partial or full highlights to root touch-ups, full color, glosses and toners, and corrective or creative color.

Prices depend on the stylist's level and experience, and color pricing also varies with hair length and thickness. Corrective and creative color are priced at $150 per hour. Current prices are shown through the online booking button.

Consultations are free on all services. Clients can book a general consultation, or a free 15-minute consultation for color and balayage, separately from a service. Bridal hair and hair extensions both begin with a consultation. The salon notes that balayage may not suit hair that already has dark color applied, in which case corrective color may be needed instead.

Color is done with Aveda Color, which the salon describes as 93% naturally derived and fade-resistant. The salon is a certified Green Circle Salon and collects and recycles its waste, including hair clippings, used foils, color tubes, paper, plastics, glass and spa waste. Its reviews page shows a 4.6 rating from 65 reviews.

Reservations must be canceled at least 48 hours ahead, or the full amount of the reserved services is charged. No-shows are charged the same way. Phones should be silenced during services. Children attend only when they are having a service, and childcare arrangements are requested. Animals are not allowed except service dogs wearing official service animal vests.

Work is organized around color, with free consultations offered before most services so clients can plan ahead. The salon also runs a green program that covers how it handles and recycles salon waste.

The salon describes its space as designed around comfort and inclusion.
