The salon says it has built a reputation for skill in cutting, styling and coloring since opening. It describes itself as the premier hair salon in Alameda and its team as leading hair professionals; these are the salon's own claims.

Services cover haircuts, tinting and color, hair extensions for added volume or length, and re-texturizing in either direction, from curly to straight or straight to curly. Hair of any length, thickness, texture or style is served, from classic looks to edgy ones.
