Roc & Hair Extensions Bar, Oakland

Roc & Hair Extensions Bar's name shows that the salon's staff is passionate about their work, but it doesn't quite reveal how meticulous they are. They source all of their Remy hair from India, Brazil, and Malaysia—acquiring virgin strands that retain their natural texture after styling and washing—and undergo continual training for new application techniques. During appointments that are available 24/7, their nimble hands not only sew in weaves but also fuse extensions to existing hair with keratin and micro beads. The salon rounds out its specialties with haircuts and straightening that uses gentle products—some of which are formulated by the staff to ensure they're just right.
