Azura Salon Oakland

Naomi is the best! I've been seeing her regularly for over a year now for hair cuts, styling, color, etc. She's so talented and incredibly kind and she really takes the time to get to know her clients - every time I return (even if it's 6 months later), she remembers to ask about a trip I went on or a life event she remembered was coming up for me. She really invests in her clients. I highly recommend her! Edit January 2024: Naomi is amazing! I have been going to her for hair cuts/color/styling for several years now, and I love her so much I hired for her my wedding to do my hair and make-up, my mom's, my mother in law, and all 8 of my bridesmaids. She did a hair and make-up trial for both me and my mom prior to the wedding and she made it such a fun day - she's SO easy to five feedback to and has such a talent for making your vision come true, she really listens to what you want and what you care about. Come wedding day, she brought 3 of her incredibly talented fellow hair and make-up artists to work with everyone and they did a phenomenal job. Everyone looked beautiful and most importantly - still looked like themselves. Naomi was easy to work with, incredibly fair with pricing, and was a big factor in making my wedding day as amazing as it was. I also have to note - our wedding day came with a POURING rain storm - my hair and make-up didn't BUDGE. I was shocked, she did such a great job! Thank you!! Services: Haircut, Hairstyling

I have experienced haircuts and make up with Naomi- and can't say enough about both. Naomi always gives me the most perfect haircut! She talks to you thoroughly about what you want and also makes suggestions (so helpful) I have long hair and am often disappointed with my haircuts because they end up making my hair too flat or too short. Naomi's cuts give my hair a really nice bounce and bring back the waves and volume. For makeup, I called Naomi when I was in a bind as my make up artist had canceled on me just a few hours before our appointment (and my event). Naomi was so kind and opened her salon for me to get a glam up....and it looked amazing. I've been going to her since then and so glad I found this salon.

I had a fantastic experience getting my hair colored at Azura with Ngan! From the thoughtful consultation, where she attentively listened to my ideas and concerns about hair damage, to the stunning result of the ashy blue color for summer, I couldn't be happier. Ngan even recommended a shampoo and conditioner that has been helping me maintain the vibrant color. I've received numerous compliments on my hair since then. Highly recommend her expertise and care!!!

I hired Naomi/Ngan for my wedding day for both hair and makeup. I forfeited the trial makeup and hair, but it didn't matter! My hair and makeup came out beautifully for the day and looked great on camera. I showed her some pictures of what I wanted for makeup and hair and she really delivered and tailored it to complement my face/hair. She also came with an assistant, Marilyn, who helped with my bridesmaids. My bridesmaids were very happy with their hair and makeup too. Leading up to the day, Ngan was always responsive and very detail oriented--so on top of things! She was such a joy to work with and made my wedding day go smoothly.

Naomi did such a wonderful job with my bridal hair and makeup. I could not have asked for anything better. She is so detailed oriented and genuinely wants the best for her clients. I wanted a soft glam makeup look that was still natural. Naomi was extremely detail oriented and made sure that I was happy with all aspects of my makeup. She also knew exactly what was needed to make me look wonderful in photos how to make my makeup last all day long (even in 90+ degree weather)! Naomi is a hair goddess. I don't know how she does it, but she perfectly executed the hairstyles for me & all of my bridesmaids. We all wanted different styles, and just by briefly looking at a photo, she was able to style every single one. Our hair stayed put even after hours on the dance floor! I would 100% choose Naomi again. She is the sweetest soul and so fun to be around! Services: Bridal services, Makeup services, Hairstyling
