Covid-safe hair salon for cut & color
I am looking for a good hair salon/spa in Albany/Berkeley area. Just wondering if anyone has ventured back out into using such services again and has any places they would recommend. Looking for a possibility of outdoor or very covid safe/ socially distanced services and a stylist who is good for 30-40s-ish aged women (up with the current trends but age appropriate), quick but does a good job with coloring/highlights and cuts. Would really like to catch up on self care in a safe way and get rid of grey hair lol. Also if possible something kind on the budget would be great, open to people who work from their own backyard if they are good. Thanks!

I love Kiki at Keter Hair Salon on Fourth street in Berkeley. I am in my mid 40's and she really took time to look at my hair and figure out what cut works best with my hair type and face.She also does great color. Salon is also very Covid safe.
These guys are fabulous.
1: they have a air purifier that is top notch.
2: they have very high ceilings and I spaced out between each hairdresser. I believe it’s about 20 feet apart but not 100% sure.
3: they may even be able to continue their cuts outside as they were doing early on. You could try to request it.
4: I love all their stylists but a few of my favorites is Karen and Bethany.
they are always masked and preferred debit or credit card payment

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Nikki Hicks in Kensington: https://www.schedulicity.com/scheduling/hbnmzq She gives me a reliably excellent cut for $80. I haven’t compared prices lately but I know cuts can be well over that amount around here. Her services and prices are on the “services” tab of the website linked above. She does an excellent job listening to what you like and offering ideas. She has her own studio, so only one client at a time, it’s indoors but with very good circulation, she checks temps, has you wash your hands or use hand sanitizer when you come in, and she’s fully vaccinated. Can’t speak to coloring services but I would feel completely confident trusting her with that. Good luck finding a good fit!
