Jennifer Freesia - Curl Specialist 1422 Everett Street, Alameda, CA 94501

"What can I say, I got an education in my own hair! My cut left my curls revived and bouncy. I'm still practicing my product "noodling" and making my curls work for me, which isn't easy for me because hairstyling is hard for me, but it's getting better. I have an ally and that's a huge boost."

"Jennifer is amazing! The salon is beautiful and relaxing. I had my first appointment with her today after being terrified to cut my curly hair for two years. My last cut I left in tears after thinning shears and a relaxer was used. I spent a lot of time searching for a new stylist and kept coming back to Jennifer’s website so I knew I needed to just schedule with her. Somehow I made a mistake and my appointment was for the wrong day, I drove two hours with an infant, my husband took two days off work and we stayed at a hotel before even knowing it was the day after what I thought. Jennifer switched appointments around and made it happen for me. I arrived and was welcomed with the offer of beverages or snacks. She explained everything she was doing so well and her assistant did so great on my wash and explaining noodling and wash techniques, my scalp felt amazing after. I did a luxury deep condition and am glad I did. She again offered a beverage so I accepted and had a sparkling wine. This was the first time I’ve been away from my baby for more than 45 minutes since she was born and I felt so relaxed and pampered. Jennifer waited to cut more length off until after washing and styling incase of shrinkage and then added in the extra layers I wanted around my face. She is a busy lady and I can see why, she is friendly, professional and thoughtful. She really knows why she’s doing and takes her time to make sure you’re happy. I left feeling so wonderful, my hair light bouncy and soft. If you need a cut and have curly hair Jennifer is your girl!"

"I never knew how to take care of my curly hair or what I could really do with it but Jennifer knew. She gave me an amazing hair cut the way I wanted it and made me feel really comfortable. Her assistant Maya was also so amazing. Maya took care of washing and styling my hair while giving great detail of what she was doing while she was doing it. I was able to ask her so many questions I had and she answered all of them. I'm definitely coming back and recommend anyone and everyone to come to see Jennifer!!"

"I have wavy hair that's often frizzy and weird and I usually straighten it. I've been experimenting with trying to let it do it's wavy thing, so thought I would go to a curly hair specialist to see if I could get some advice. Jennifer listened to me, cut my hair according to my curl pattern, and taught me how to wash it and apply product to avoid frizz. I washed it yesterday and did what she told me to, and my hair is somehow wavy and soft but not frizzy. It's like magic - she is definitely a wizard! Highly recommend for those wanting to embrace their natural hair texture."

"I have been getting deva cuts from Jennifer for 3 years now and she gives the best cuts for my curly hair-hands down! She has taught me the importance of keeping up with regular trims to prevent breakage and keeps my curls and volume super bouncy by carefully following my curl pattern to cut lots of layers. Would recommend her to everyone-especially those with curly hair."
