Sheila is amazing. I have curly/wavy hair, and when it grows out, the weight of it straightens my hair somewhat. But i love my curls! I have trusted her to cut my hair ever since I moved to the Bay Area. I know that when I leave her studio, my hair will look fabulous and I will feel great!

Sheila does excellent work. Her knowledge of natural hair is superb! My natural hair has really thrived with her care. She uses the best products for your own texture of hair. I love how my hair thrives so I have booked with Sheila for the whole year! I want to make sure I can always get a appointment!

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Sheila at Head Designs! Not only was she extremely careful about safety, she also gave me the best haircut ever! My curls felt celebrated in her care, and her energy is awesome to be around. As a new Oakland resident, I am so happy to have found her. 1000x more stars for this exceptional woman!

I have been a client for years and one thing is for sure is Shelia is not only a talented hairdresser but is facetious about cleanliness. This is especially important in a post Covid-19 world that you can trust her to follow all the guidelines. Plus only one person in the salon at a time. so social distance is possibleShe is known for being a curly hair specialist but I have come to her in all my hair stages - relaxed , dreaded, textured, natural etc
