Breaking news at Spank Salon!!! What used to be formally word of mouth only, secret back door handshake; Gina Lowe is now accepting new clients! This highly sought after stylist/colorist has voted best stylist of Alameda 2021. She specializes in all aspects of hair color. Within the last 15 years I've been many shades of color and never once disappointed! It's so nice not to have to travel to SF for this high quality of service. Do yourself a favor, go book with Gina on Vagaro. You will leave the salon wanting to go somewhere fancy to show off your hair.

Having hair that's been through quarantine, postpartum and grown out undercut, Yao gave me a great cut that is easy to maintain and style. He discussed the cut before we start to make sure we're both on the same page. My hair has been quite difficult to tame in my entire life. I have lots of hair, it's kinda dry looking and not straight nor curly. He cut in lots of inner layers to thin out the volume, and match the length of my shortest hair without giving me a pixie cut. Thanks again, I'll see you in a bit for my next cut!

Ellie has been doing my curly cuts for the past few years. Not only do I have curly hair but I suffer from hair thinning so you can imagine how hard it is to find a hairstylist that you trust. She always takes my concerns into account and makes sure that I walk out feeling more confident than ever! We’ve tried a few styles from long to pixie and every time it comes out better than I could’ve imagined. I truly don’t know what I do with my hair without her

I've been going to Yao for several years. I've been to so many salons with so many stylists. He is hands down the best stylist that has ever cut my hair. Bonus that he's also such a sweet human!

Ellie Strosahl is the best! She gave my hair life with a new color and fun cut that is easy to manage and still look stylish! She's a professional in her work and super fun at the same time! Her styles are always on point and such ray of sunshine to have services with! Always a fun visit to the hair salon! Very cool salon, easy parking, great prices!

I love Spank Salon! I used to come to Spank with my hairstylist who retired. I ended up going somewhere else for low maintenance root cover up's but when I decided to go lighter I ended up needling a color correction. My original Spank hairstylist recommended Ashley and I'm so happy to be back at Spank. Ashley went above and beyond correcting my hair and explaining step by step everything she was doing. She takes her craft serious! The outcome was so beautiful, she was so sweet and it felt really good being at the salon. You could tell everyone loves what they do and the vibe was so chill and peaceful.

Yao is a stand up human being, in addition to being an excellent cosmetologist. I would recommend anyone to him, laid-back women, and also very picky ones. My sons, my husband, and others who need a clean up and shapely cut. I suppose I particularly like him, because he'a simply a solid mensch, and I trust him and want him to succeed.

Yao is so informative when it comes to cutting your hair. He'll ask about hair products, treatments, and give you great advice on how to care for your hair. He's also very nice and easy to make small talk with. I love that he takes his time even though he's busy to ensure that you're happy with your hair cut. I came in wanting a trim and long layers, but he was able to convince me to cut around 2.5 inches off since it'll help with the integrity of my hair (which has been through bleach many times). I went to the same stylist for years now, but she was busy so that's how I ended up here. However, I think this will be my new go to place for haircuts!!

I want to give a big shout out to Ashley Johnson at Spank. She is a hairdresser who loves her work; it's clear from the start. That is the very best recipe for happiness all around. She is personable, professional, and diligent. As an Alameda resident who wants to stick close to home, I am delighted to find the best colorist ever right here! I couldn't be happier. The salon is the perfect blend of industrial chic and hippie-comfort. Just my kind of style. Bravo.
