Paparazzi Beauty Bar

"I just love every experience with Sharice & Crystal!! Mya is dope too!! Their professional, personable, and knowledgeable about hair care and products. These Queens of Style know their way around a client's crown (hair) and helped me protect and improve my hair. My crown is much healthier these days because of Paparazzi!"

"Not a great place to go I tried to communicate about my hair appointment and they didn’t respond so I will NEVER come back. I like the way they do my hair but their service is HORRIBLE. I do not recommend here if you want your money worth."

"Unfortunately, I'm going to have to retract my five star review that I left on Yelp from my first appointment with Crystal. The purpose of the review system within yelp and Google is to leave honest reviews of our experiences as patrons of each and every business establishment within the community. I texted the owner Crystal early afternoon on Friday Nov 4th telling her we would like to book another appointment and asking questions and information on purchasing one of her wigs as well as bringing in another wig for customization. I never received a response whatsoever all day Friday. And still no response all weekend. I decided to wait until Tuesday when she reopens for business. And stillNothing. As a business owner she failed to comunícate and answer any of my questions. I figured maybe she doesn't want to talk for free. So I want on her website and booked a $50 consultation just so I can talk with her and put $20 down as her site requires that for scheduling. After I paid still no response to my text with question and concerns tues or Wed or Thursday. Crystal was MIA. Now being Thursday was our in person appt and still nothing from her. Showed up about 21 min early and Crystal must have seen us on her ring camera out front because as soon a we walked inside I get a text message stating her moms in the ER. Which I highly doubt was true. Her lack of professionalism caused me not only turbulence in our day but ruined our scheduled plans for a music video shoot in Dubai. It's extremely hard to find a stylist in the bay area last minute that isn't booked out. I really feel she has a misconception of what being a business owner truly is which does not mean she is her own boss. Her clients and members of the community are her boss. If a client contacts, you respond rather late than never. It looks extremely bad, disorganized and rude overall. That even means on weekends and on vacation. A true business owner never stops serving their client base. Such basic entrepreneurship rules that will get you from 1 to 30 salons in 30 years. Not from 1 salon to still 1 salon in 30 years. Also one last thing she offered to sell us a wig for $900 that has been already used once on vacation or a event or something. I found that extremely odd and unsanitary. Just thought that was a bit weird."

"I've been here a handful of times. I've had Sharice do my hair every time. She does a good job, the problem is the price upon booking is different when you check out. Today I had my hair washed & curled & the total was $123 which is outlandish unless you're in Beverly Hills or Malibu. Online the price says $75 so I'm wondering where the price jump came from. This salon is in San Leandro next to Oakland. I won't come again, there are so many stylists in the area who also do a great job & don't overcharge. When I asked why the price was so much I was told because of length but I have 20 in shoulder length weave in...I'm unsure if the ac works in the salon, but the fans just aren't cutting it especially with all of the stoves heating up hair tools st the same time. My advice if you do choose to patronize this place is to bring cash only! Now I'll leave a review on every possible website I can find. They clearly don't understand that 80% of business is repeat business..."
