Akiya is a very talented and professional young woman. I was initially skeptical about getting my hair done at someone's home, but my concerns were unfounded.
I have been to a number of hair professional salons in Oakland since moving here three years ago and none of them were able to work with my natural hair. And I found very few who were truly versatile in working with synthetic twist extensions. It was always quite difficult to get an appointment and the stylists were often late. Akiya takes her work seriously and conducts herself and her business in a professional manner. Appointments are made online and a reminder is sent out. She has never canceled an appointment. Her prices are extremely reasonable and she does quality work in an efficient manner.
Lastly, Akiya knows how to do two-strand twist extensions starting with a twist instead of a braid, so it looks more natural. I haven't seen that since I left D.C. And there is ZERO pain. I will be sticking with her for the long term.

I found Akiya because of her back to school coupon offer and was sure I would be disappointed when I picked my daughter up. Boy was I wrong. She looked perfect. All her parts and braids were the same size. Akiya is professional and very polite. I will going myself at end of month and my daughter will be going back in 2 months.

Akiya is fun, dependable, and professional. She is very talented. I love my twists, and after almost 2 months they still look amazing! I highly recommend her.

Akiya is so talented, patient and kind. She did a great job with my twist and got me out of there in good time. I barely felt like I'd been in the chair that long by the time she was done. Will be heading back in 2 months as long as I'm in the Bay Area.

Akiya is the bomb! I'm currently in a transition from perm to natural and have been having hard time. Akiya cornrows my hair perfectly. It didnt hurt, last long, and fit my face. I recieved compliments all over. Being a college student its hard as well to afford to get your hair done. With Akiya I had no worries, a cheaper price still ment quality. I cant wait to go to her again!!!

Had a touch up on my kinky braids on Thursday 7/23/09 and it was just as good as if I was getting my hair done for the first time.
Can't say enough! Amazing.

I've left a review before, but I wanted to leave another one. After I initially had my kinky twist done by Akiya I also had her to take out of the kinky twist. I kept them in for about 2 months. They still looked good too. And usually I remove them at 6 weeks like clockwork.
How long does it take most of us to take down braids? A whole Saturday in front of the television? I went to Akiya after work and within 2 1/2 hours the twist were removed, all the lint combed out, and hair was ready for me to wash easily at home. My edges were still in tact and my hair was healthy. I was very very pleased with her removal services. I don't plan to ever take out my braids again. lol
I recently just had Senegalese twist put in by Akiya and right afterwards I put my hair up in a ponytail...NO PAIN. Akiya worked with me throughout that day to find the right color selection for my braids and was excited to help me find something NEW to do with my style. Awesome stylist and awesome woman in general.

Please Note: The dates may or may not be available at the time you make your appointment. Always have a second date in mind. The online appointment maker is based on time of the style. That means if your style takes 6 hours and all that is left is a 2 hour slot, then the date will not be available to you. This is to prevent overbooking. Fridays and Saturdays are my off days. |
