Patricia cut my hair for the first time about a month ago. I've been very happy with my hair ever since -- and this is no small compliment! Usually I think my hair looks pretty awful -- maybe a good day here or there, but usually just blah. Since Patricia cut my hair I actually think my hair looks pretty nice! I'm impressed -- and will definitely return to her when I need a trim.

In March, After 69 yards of haircuts, including cutting it myself after paying big bucks to someone else, I finally found the best, and I only had to fly 500 miles to get it.
Patricia was recommended to me by my close friend and she was so right. My hair is sort but each hair cut took off more curl. I turned myself over to Patricia's capable hands and closed my eyes. Every once in awhile I peeked. What I saw was a totally different way of cutting my hair, a way no one had ever done. Brilliant!
When she finished, I cried ! It was gorgeous and I hugged her and thanked her 50 times. It took 20 yrs of my face and was just gorgeous, I seem to be saying that a lot, but it's true,
Now after 5 weeks it's growing out and has held it's shape and curl.
My curly hair has never held the curl like this. I'm saving my $$$ for the next flight! No one else is going to cut my hair again.

Patricia is a phenomenal stylist - I've been going to her for about a year and a half now, and I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else. My hair has been short and curly for years, but I've never had someone so attuned to my desired cut. Every time I leave the salon, my hair looks fantastic and I receive a wave of compliments. Patricia also does my blonde highlights, and trust me, it isn't easy to find someone good with curly color. I just had my highlights done again today, and they look perfect for the spring weather.
It definitely helps that Patricia has a beautiful set of curls herself, so she's fully aware of the trials and tribulations we all go through. If you haven't made an appointment already, I highly, highly encourage you to drop any other stylist and book Patricia right away. She's the best!

It has ALWAYS been a challenge for me trying to find a good hairstylist that really knows how to cut curly hair . I had been going to numerous stylists for years claiming to do so with disappointing results. After reading the other reviews about Patricia, I decided to give it a shot and see if there was anything that she could do for me. At the end of that first visit I couldn't believe what a fantastic job she did with my hair.Not only that she also spends time teaching you how to style and care for your hair.

Due to technical difficulties with this website, I am posting this review later than I intended. Before going to Patricia in December, I had not been to a hair salon in 12 years. I had been cutting my own hair. Needless to say, I was a little nervous to let someone else cut my hair. I finally got the courage to go much shorter than usual, though, and I needed an expert's opinion and ability to see the back of my head. After seeing the many great reviews about Patricia, I booked an appointment. By calling on a Friday I got an appointment for the next Tuesday. When I got there, Patricia listened to what I wanted. She listened well and addressed many of my worries and gave her own advice. When she started cutting, she told me, "it is going to end up a little longer than what you asked for, but if you want it shorter, you can come back and I will cut it for free." I'm so glad she did that. Going from long curly hair to short is a bit of a change and she wanted to make it so that I could still pull it back if I wanted to. It turned out great. I'm getting many complements and am really liking it. I'm very impressed with her work and her ability to handle curly hair. Thanks Patricia, I'll be back

I moved up to the Bay Area about 2 1/2 years ago and was very nervous about finding a new stylist. I had been going to the same stylist in San Diego for 15 years. I tried two different stylists in Berkeley and both were very nice but I just didn't love the results. After doing lots of internet research for a good stylist, I came across reviews for La Peluqueria and Patricia. I was really interested in the reviews because I have naturally wavy hair. It's not super curly but not super straight- kind of in between. I almost always straighten my hair but I thought "Well Patricia is called the curly hair expert so I'll give it a try and maybe she can help me wear my hair naturally wavy." Patricia did not disappoint me! After chatting with her for a few minutes, she made great suggestions on a cut that would allow me to wear my hair naturally wavy and it would still be a cut that would look great when I straightened my hair. She did a great shampoo, cut and then dried my hair and by the end my natural waves were beautifully defined. I absolutely love my new cut! Since my cut last week, I have worn my hair wavy, straight with a flat iron and have dried with a round brush for volume and light waves. I'm loving the versatility. Her salon is super cute and cozy and I did not have a problem finding parking but my appointment was early in the morning. I'm so happy to say that I have found my new stylist in the Bay Area.

I read the reviews and decided to give Patricia a try. I also decided to put all my "Deva" curly girl knowledge aside and see what happened. I was very pleased. I didn't even ask about wet or dry cuts!! She cut my hair wet. I told her I just wanted a trim and to take out the bulk and she said she understood as she has the same hair as I do. Before I had mine cut another woman was having hers done and I saw the before and after (very short curly hair) and she looked great.
She took a great deal of time cutting my hair, picking up sections and trimming over and over again. She used mixed chicks leave in and dried my hair with my head facing down the way I do at home. Even the two Deva salons I went to did not do this. She is very open to learning about new products and techniques, but I was satisfied with my wet cut. She also did my roots and they look great. When I came home my husband said he thought this was the best cut I've had.
No trouble so far and its been a few weeks. I'm going for highlights next week. Her prices are very reasonable and Patricia has a great personality and is very fun and easy to talk with. Definitely will be my stylist.
P.S. (Had a Deva trained stylist in SF and one is Moraga. The one in Moraga actually "fired" me because I trimmed my own hair and used some color until I could get to her) SF stylist colored my hair wrong two times in a row!!)

My hair looks worse than it has ever been- it has absolutely no style and looks like a Christmas tree. I'm surprised that a stylist with curly hair herself could give me such a bad haircut.

She did a wonderful work fixing my highlights, she made 3 full steps to cover gray hair and put the new lights. In all she had to wash my hair three times, and she did it. She noticed I needed to trim my eyebrows and did a splendid job. She is also very kind, her place is well located and very cozy. I just moved to Berkeley 6 months ago and I'm really happy to have Patricia and La Peluqueria to take care of my hair! I highly recommend her.

LOVE IT!!! I went to Patricia for a haircut; I've always had a hard time finding someone who can help me with my curly hair. A lot of stylist are intimidated by how curly my hair actually is. But not Patricia, she has natural curls herself so she understands my struggles. She took her time finishing the cut with a beautiful blow dry. I loved the outcome. Thanks Patricia

I read the reviews and decided to give Patricia a try. I also decided to put all my "Deva" curly girl knowledge aside and see what happened. I was very pleased. I didn't even ask about wet or dry cuts!! She cut my hair wet. I told her I just wanted a trim and to take out the bulk and she said she understood as she has the same hair as I do. Before I had mine cut another woman was having hers done and I saw the before and after (very short curly hair) and she looked great. She took a great deal of time cutting my hair, picking up sections and trimming over and over again. She used mixed chicks leave in and dried my hair with my head facing down the way I do at home. Even the two Deva salons I went to did not do this. She is very open to learning about new products and techniques, but I was satisfied with my wet cut. She also did my roots and they look great. When I came home my husband said he thought this was the best cut I've had. No trouble so far and its been a few weeks. I'm going for highlights next week. Her prices are very reasonable and Patricia has a great personality and is very fun and easy to talk with. Definitely will be my stylist. P.S. (Had a Deva trained stylist in SF and one is Moraga. The one in Moraga actually "fired" me because I trimmed my own hair and used some color until I could get to her) SF stylist colored my hair wrong two times in a row!!)

I went there after reading reviews on this website and I must say that I was thoroughly disappointed. My hair looks worse than it has ever been- it has absolutely no style and looks like a Christmas tree. I'm surprised that a stylist with curly hair herself could give me such a bad haircut. The positive thing I have to say is that she knew how to set my hair after the cut. Alas! I only wish the cut was as good. Now starts the painful task of waiting for my hair to grow out.

Honestly!! I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else. Patricia knows color, curls and cutting with style and grace. She will make you beautiful!! More beautiful than you all ready are and you can count on it!! I used to hyperventilate before finding a stylist or going into a salon. I would bring my own combs and not trust anyone to comb through my nappy hair, until Patricia. Now going to the salon is fun for me and something I look forward to. Make an appointment today!! You won't regret it. ~Tina

Patricia makes a great first impression with her own beautiful curly hair (cut, color, style) and over the years she has gained my trust to deliver superb styles/color to match the season, occasion and my changing lifestyle. Her styles can be worn both curly, wavy or straight and I love how she brings out the best in my hair. I'm very lucky to have had found her and I highly recommend her.

Patricia Lewis at La Peluqueria in Berkeley, an artist of hair, works miracles for all types of curly hair! Patricia's shop is tucked behind Cafe de la Paz on Shattuck and across from Andronico's. My curls are now radiantly flowing, have superb and natural color, and are extremely well cut. As another client noted, everyone who leaves there seems very happy. She is funny, bright, and spirited and you can enjoy the time with her. I can't recommend her enough!
