STrUT Oakland: A Boutique Salon

I had my first cut with Carmen yesterday and I'm thrilled with the results. My hair is wavy with some loose curls and a good amount of gray that I embrace. Carmen gave me an amazing cut, went over every aspect curl care as we chatted and gave me some great advice. She is very knowledgeable, sweet and I loved how she was non-judgemental about any of the methods or products I've been using. The salon has a great vibe. Recommend 100%!

It was a great first experience. Antoinette was very knowledgeable, kind and walked me through the process of a wash and go. Gave me confidence that I can maybe pull off this new style. Easy to talk to and cute salon.

This was my second time coming here to StrUT so I've gotten the opportunity to work with both Carmen and Antoinette. Both of them are lovely, and they were both super helpful in helping me better understand what products to use for my coily 4c hair. I came out of the shop with the softest hair I've ever had. I couldn't stop touching it! 😅 I would definitely recommend this place. And be sure to select the curly curl cut instead of the regular haircut if you have curly or coily hair. They dedicate additional time to treat your curls well and will have you walking out feeling like a brand new woman.

Omg! Fabulous. Last month I had a Curly Cut by Antionette. She is so knowledgeable about hair! I’ve had my hair done by several folks in the area and this was truly one of the best. Antionette is such a skilled artist! And I was grateful for all the hair care suggestions too. I look forward to my next appointment in a few months!

Hands down the best experience I’ve had in a black hair, or any hair, salon. I say black hair because we ALL know the rundown when you book an appt for a press and there’s 2 people in front of you, and 2 people behind you- and two getting done while you are! Not strut! I had my OWN time slot BOTH times I visited. Once I got the curly girl deva cut by Carmen and next time I got a cut and press by Antoinette. I could go on and on, the shop is clean and intimate, and they give you a CLEAN robe to put on, they offer water... etc. i also received a hair consultation both times, and I could tell that both women are very knowledgeable about hair, true students of their craft. I am just really impressed! Highly recommend this place.
