Book Your AppointmentWhat we do at the Alamo salon
Natural Beaded Row (NBR) Extensions
Hand-tied, beaded-weft system custom-mapped to your head shape. Lightweight, invisible, gentle on your natural hair. Move-ups every 6 to 8 weeks.
Hand-Tied Weft Extensions
A lighter alternative to a full NBR install. Same gentle bead-and-thread attachment, fewer rows, shorter appointment.
Custom Balayage and Lived-In Color
Hand-painted highlights and lived-in color built around your hair history and your real-life maintenance schedule.
Color Correction
Box-dye fixes, brassy blonde correction, banding and uneven results. For clients who left another salon with hair they did not ask for.
Precision Haircuts
Women's cuts tailored to your face shape and texture, with dry detail finishing. Specializing in shoulder-length and longer hair.
Brazilian Blowout and Smoothing
Smoothing treatment that seals the cuticle, reduces frizz, and lasts 3 to 4 months.
Glosses and Toners
Demi-permanent gloss treatments to refresh tone, add shine, and protect your color investment between full appointments.
Bridal and Event Hair
Bridal trials, wedding-day styling, and event blowouts for the East Bay. Limited bridal slots each season.

Common questions
Is Ashley always at the Alamo salon?
Ashley is in the Alamo salon two weeks every month. The other two weeks she takes clients at her new Bend, Oregon chair at Tangerine Hair Salon. The full Alamo team is here every week — Alicia, Brooklyn, Eva, and Jazmin all keep their regular schedules.
How far in advance do I need to book?
New extension consultations usually book two to three weeks out. Standing extension move-ups and color clients book the year ahead. Same-week openings happen but cannot be counted on.
How much does NBR cost?
NBR is consultation-based pricing because every install is custom. Hair cost, install time, and your goals all factor in. We quote everything at the consultation with no surprise add-ons at checkout.
Do you carry Oribe?
Yes. The salon is an authorized Oribe stockist. Pricing matches MSRP. Recommendations are personalized to your hair, not blanket upsells.
Do you take new clients?
Yes. New clients are welcome across every service. The booking page will guide you to a consultation if your service requires one.
