Our History |
We opened Salon 105 on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, California in 2013 with the aim of creating a calm, intimate salon setting where highly trained stylists can connect easily with their clients while delivering a sublime level of service -- without the distractions of the loud, oversized, commotion-filled salons so common in the East Bay. Our purpose is to recharge and enliven in an exquisite space that supports the way we love to work. Come experience the difference at Salon 105!

"As a hairstylist and an artist, I think of my clients as works of art, unfolding before me as they sit in my chair. Years of experience and artistry go into the process of crafting and attaining one’s best look. When you see it, feel it, and look in the mirror, you say—Wow! That’s the power of hair."
