About Salon 105

At Salon 105 we offer a soothing, spa-like setting where you can relax and recharge while receiving the most fabulous haircut and color ever! We also do make-up, eye-brow waxing and up-do styling.
Our philosophy is the one-stop shop: Get it all done in one place! We offer a lovely, private setting complete with the sound of waterfalls. We use the eco-friendly, paraben & sulphate-free line of KEVIN.MURPHY products, which replenish, nourish and restore youthful luster to the hair -- all while smelling amazing. Our mission is to provide the highest quality service so that our clients feel pampered, refreshed, gorgeous and empowered to re-enter their busy lives. |
Who We Are |
Kim Alcalá, the owner of Salon 105, has been a hairstylist for more than 20 years. She graduated with high honors with a degree in the Practice of Art from U.C. Berkeley in 1998, which informs her artistic approach to doing hair. Always fascinated by line, shape and color, Kim delights in applying her aesthetic knowledge to create the most vibrant, dynamic and flattering look for each client. Her love of beauty and art is matched by her love of connecting with people; her deepest professional joy derives from the relationships with her wonderful clients that continue to inspire her.

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."
-Kim Alcalá
