I'm not usually tempted to give reviews but I genuinely got such a bad haircut here that I want to spare others of my fortune. I was sitting at heads up across the street, and the wait was too long for me to manage on my lunch break so I decided to give Ixia a try as there was no wait there, and I saw the reviews were mostly good. Sonia was nice enough, and seemed to understand what I wanted. 1-2 inches off the back and face framing layers (showed her a pic for reference). I have easy to manage straight hair that is already a bit layered. She cut way more length that I wanted, but fine, fair enough. I pretty much just accept at this point there's not a stylist out there that understands to preserve length. The real kicker was the face framing layers. She seemed unable to do them. I was constantly correcting her, and she kept asking if that was good, was enough. I feel like, I, as a person sitting in the stylists chair, shouldn't be the one navigating the expert. She was able to achieve one side ok enough, but the other side was super choppy. When I came home, I realized the back was extremely chunky and uneven. There was literally a 1 inch section just awkwardly longer than the rest of my hair. For the first time in my life, I had to take scissors to my hair immediately post haircut in an attempt to manage the uneven portions. I will have to get it professionally fixed elsewhere. I also declined the shampoo service, and my total was $50. I will definitely not return in the future.

I do not recommend this salon for men's haircuts, they have no experience and they do a bad job, Sonia cut my hair very badly, I showed her a photo, what I asked for was very easy, she just faded and she did not do it well at all. Don't waste your time or money and go somewhere alseService: Haircut

Sonia is very profesional and very friendly. I was looking for a place in Albany that wasn't too busy and I stop by this place to give it a try and I'm definitely coming back!

I'd been just letting my hair grown and chopping off six inches or so when it got too long for about 20 years. Last week, I went a bit too far and then it was ragged so my kid tried to help fix it. It made it worse. I call it an unfortunate home barbering incident. One of my kids goes to school in Albany so I looked around here on Yelp for a salon and settled on Ixia. I was able to make an appointment for the next day. Sonia repaired the horrible hair tragedy with a cut that flatters my hair type, kept most of the remaining length. And I decided to also go dark purple at the time. I'd not had any hair coloring done in a very long while and thought the really cool colors were behind me in my youth. I chose a very dark purple and it came out fantastic. In the sunlight it's a really gorgeous almost electric purple but looks very dark indoors. I'm so happy with my new cut and color. Sonia did a fantastic job and I'd recommend her to anyone that needs their self-butchery repaired.

Brought my three- and five-year-old boys for haircuts before Christmas. A middle aged woman who appeared to be an owner or senior person cut both my boys' hair. First alarm was she left a bald spot on my younger son's right temple. She cut his bangs off completely on one side and left them partly there on the other. I should have cut my losses and left. But I wanted to get the boys cleaned up for Xmas. On my second son, she left the bangs uneven and crooked. I asked if she could straighten them out. She said "I could, but it'd be ugly." I didn't like hearing her say ugly in front of my son. Also I doubt it's good business to tell the customer that what he asks for is ugly. What was ugly was the haircuts she gave my boys. We had to fix them at home. The bald spot will grow back. At $25 each, I gave no tip. I don't know how they manage to stay in business on Solano. Wasted fifty bucks and time. I won't visit this salon in the future.

One of the worse haircuts I ever got. The hairdresser randomly left strands of hair twice as long as the rest. She also left several marks of the electric clipper she used to trim part of my hair. I would strongly recommend looking somewhere else.

I have been going to Sonia for several years now. She's very attentive, listens to what you want, and does a great job with cuts and highlights. I recently went in during Covid, and she's following the CDC guidelines to keep everyone safe. I'll definitely be back.

$50 for a haircut which included a wash, and blow dry. I appreciated that it was just me in the salon and she wore a mask to protect me while wearing a face shield to protect herself. The almost hour long appointment was relaxing and I'm satisfied with how the cut turned out as per my requests. I felt comfortable and she had a very sweet disposition ?

I've always had long hair, until I had to cut it very short due to my hair being damaged from color. It's been over a year and my hair wasn't anywhere close to the length previously... I started to do some research on extensions and came across this salon & Yvelisse... and I have to say she's the best! I scheduled a consult with her, and she explained everything to know about extensions. My first time getting them and I LOVE them!! The color matches well and I get so many compliments! My before, and here's curly and straight hair! Thank you Yvelisse
