FAQ - Please read this before contacting.

Where are you located?

Native Studio Salon in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland, CA.

What are your hours of operation?

Tuesday-Friday 10am to 5pm.

 *For all editorial bookings, please e-mail - beautynative@icloud.com.

What is the best way to contact you?

E-mail is best for all inquiries beautynative@icloud.com. Or by filling out the form here.

Clients are welcome to contact me if they have a question about their appointment or concerns, via text at 510-816-0478.

Are you accepting new clients?

Unfortunately, no. My books are closed to new guests until 2023.

I do however post last minute openings due to cancelations on my Instagram stories, or pull from a waitlist of clients who have e-mailed in the past. When my books do open, I am only accepting new clients with curls/coils, or those with requests for vivid color only.

How should I contact you to book an appointment?

Existing clients (meaning if you have seen me before) are welcome to contact me via e-mail at beautynative@icloud.com.

What can I do to prepare for my appointment?

Please arrive with clean, dry, non-styled hair. Hair that has been washed no more than two days before is fine. Product buildup & natural oils from the scalp can cause difficulty when trying to lift the hair lighter or trying to deposit color.

Curly hair is best analyzed when it is fresh, lightly styled, and I can see your natural curl pattern. I do a lot of dry cutting in the salon and its best with clean, styled in a wash and go, and fully dry hair.

Not following these protocols may impact the outcome of your desired results. Thanks for your cooperation!

Do I need to put a deposit down?

Yes! A $100 deposit is required for all appointments. A 30 minute virtual consultation will be done for $50, and if the client decides to book during this consultation another $50 will be needed to secure the appointment. All funds will go towards final cost of the in salon session.

Deposits are non-refundable and I have a strict 48 hour cancelation policy. No deposit = no appointment.

All confirmed appointments will receive an appointment confirmation via Vagaro through email & phone number provided by client.
