About

Founded in 2004, SaHaira started out in the Rockridge community before relocating to Claremont, where it now sits directly opposite the Claremont Hotel and the Berkeley Tennis Club. Shari Fritz, who built her career in salons across the East Bay, opened the business and still works as a stylist alongside the salon's team.

The salon describes itself as multi-cultural and welcoming to all hair types. Stylists work across styles from classic to contemporary, and the team asks clients about their goals before recommending a change or a maintenance trim. The salon says it aims to provide the highest quality hair care, and it notes a feature on the local CBS series This Is SF with Crystal Lee.

Coloring is a major part of the menu, with full and partial highlights, ombre, balayage, and color correction, which needs a consultation before pricing. Texturing covers relaxers, perms, and keratin smoothers, and special event work includes up-dos, bridal hair, braiding by the hour, and locs touch-ups. Clients can also book nail care.

Visits are booked online through a Glossgenius page or by phone or email. The salon says its prices are guidelines and that clients should check with their stylist for an exact quote.

Stylists move between classic and contemporary looks and start every change or maintenance trim by asking what the client wants.

The space is described as spacious and light-filled, set at the foot of the Berkeley Hills.
