Vassar Beauty is a Berkeley studio at 1518 San Pablo Ave that Booksy lists as a luxury extensions specialist.
The menu is organized into groups. Extension work ranges from quick weave and wig installs and traditional and closure sew-ins to signature K-tip, I-tip, nano I-tip and microlink installs with hair included, plus a luxury tape-in experience. Hybrid methods combine a sew-in in the back with tape-ins in the front for a flat finish. Removal, detox, wash-and-style and maintenance appointments support extensions after they are installed.
Color and blonding services include all-over color, color bundles, toner or glaze, bleach and tone, highlights, money pieces and balayage, along with vivid and fashion color and color correction. The studio says it focuses on quality and the client experience and gives clients as much aftercare information as possible.
New extension clients book a consultation first, and that fee is applied toward the service. Vivid color and color correction also need a consultation and a deposit before booking. There are no walk-ins, traditional sew-ins with bundles are best booked about a week ahead, and after-hours appointments are available for an added fee when booked by text. Cherry financing and buy-now-pay-later plans are offered for qualifying services and hair purchases, subject to approval. Gift cards, service packages and a loyalty program are also available.
The studio focuses on quality and the client experience, with detailed aftercare guidance.
The salon describes its visits as relaxing and centered on client service.
