Azura Salon Oakland - Oakland (CA)

5 /5 Jessie Wang: Naomi saved my hair after a traumatic balayage I got while traveling. I am very happy with how my hair turned out and I highly recommend Naomi if you need a color correction or balayage. She’s very attentive to your specific needs, and will make your hair look it’s best.

5 /5 Venus Li: Brushed by an angel, an angel name Ngan. She is a heaven send! Ive found Ngan through one of the FB Wedding groups and after seeing her reviews, Instagram, and website, I reached out to schedule a hair and make up trial. I already knew from the beginning that Ngan was going to be great to work with - she was friendly and personable and it felt like I was having a conversation with an old friend, to be honest. Ngan was not only patient with me through my trial as she listened to my concerns and worked with me who has 0 knowledge about make up, but she provided suggestions and ideas based on my skin tone and likes and dislikes. My mother also did a separate hair trial with Ngan because she had some concerns if she would be able to get her hair in a bun since she had some bald spots she wanted to cover with thin hair and Ngan was able to reassure her and get to work to make her feel good. Coordinating a time and place for both the trial and the actual wedding day was very easy to do. Ngan and her assistant arrived on the morning of wedding in a timely manner and got to work right away. My bridal party looked and felt amazing which was very important to me. My hair and make up looked perfect - Ngan did a fantastic job. Even though we went through a trial already a few months back, she reiterated what we went through, what we agreed on, and asked if there was any changes to the plan. She worked with me and my thinner eyebrows and I have to toot my own horn and say I looked fantastic. Overall, I would highly recommend Ngan for any special occasion - whether its a wedding, an engagement party, or a "just because I deserve it" day. Her communication is on point, shes patient and kind, and open to any concerns you may have. My hair stayed in place the entire day and my make up turned out great in the photos.

5 /5 Reyhaneh Rajabzadeh: I have experienced haircuts and make up with Naomi- and cant 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. Naomis 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. Ive been going to her since then and so glad I found this salon.

5 /5 Elaine Liu: Ngan was wonderful to work with for my wedding, including bridal hair and makeup, and hair and makeup for my bridal party. She is incredibly kind, detailed oriented, and takes great care to create the look you are hoping for. She is very organized and and very responsive in the planning process and made sure that everything was as stress free as possible leading up to and on the wedding day. Everyone loved the hair and makeup that Ngan and her team did, which was natural and beautiful. Would highly recommend her for any event!
