About

Orabella Hair Studio is a boutique salon on the ground floor of a building on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland. The salon describes itself as Oakland's premier boutique hair salon and says it has been featured in local media. It is set in the Piedmont Avenue District, among shops, restaurants and nightlife, and offers free off-street parking and wheelchair access.

The salon focuses on current trends and high-end performing products, and says the integrity of each client's hair comes first. Its core work is color: custom balayage, highlights, blonding and color correction, plus permanent and semi-permanent color used to refresh existing color. Color correction and bespoke coloring can begin with a complimentary consultation to discuss goals, pricing and a plan. Some correction work takes one appointment and some takes a series.

Haircuts, blowouts and styling are also available. A Hair Design visit is a haircut and blowout that includes a consultation, shampoo, conditioner and blowout, usually 45 minutes to an hour depending on hair length. Styling options include a plain blowout, a flat iron finish or a curling iron finish. Products are available for purchase at the salon, and appointments can be booked online.

The salon also offers topper and wig services, including cleansing, cutting, styling, and color matching or changes, using 100% human hair. A complimentary consultation is recommended for these.

The salon works with a focus on current trends, high-end performing products and protecting the condition of each client's hair.

A small, private salon on the ground floor in a lively shopping and dining area.
