La Petite Hair Salon is a neighborhood staple tucked along Euclid Avenue in Berkeley. This unpretentious spot draws a steady stream of locals looking for straightforward, reliable haircuts without the fuss of upscale salons. It’s the kind of place where regulars feel seen and newcomers quickly notice how the stylists prioritize a relaxed, welcoming vibe alongside their haircutting skills.

Inside, the atmosphere is calm and friendly but never too quiet — there’s usually some tasteful background music playing, catering even to younger clients, which creates a comforting and low-key space. The team here excels at keeping things easygoing, especially with kids or anyone who might be a bit anxious about sitting in the chair for a while. They offer a good range of services, from basic trims and children’s cuts to hair coloring and highlighting, making it a solid all-around option for families and individuals alike.

The pricing and quick turnaround times make La Petite attractive to busy locals who value efficiency along with a personal touch. The staff rarely keeps you waiting more than a few minutes, and their communication throughout the haircut process feels thoughtful and attentive, which helps ensure the end result matches what you had in mind. It’s not the place for extravagant styles or high-fashion treatments, but if you want a dependable haircut, done with care, it fits the bill perfectly.

Visiting during weekday afternoons or early evenings tends to be a quieter time, making it easier to schedule a walk-in or appointment without a long wait. The friendly chatter between stylists and clients reflects a sense of community, where conversations flow naturally and it’s common to see longtime clients return, some for years, adding to the local rhythm of this modest salon.

Overall, La Petite feels best suited for East Bay residents who appreciate straightforward value, skilled hands, and a warm atmosphere where clients aren’t just a number but part of a familiar local scene.

This is a salon that cares about their clients! I was a walk in the day I came to La Petite, and she was already busy with a client. He was 12 and she had his favorite band playing on the sound system in the salon. Our hairstylist was a lady who truly cares, when she cut my sons hair, she kept giving him items to occupy him, keep him entertained, and when she was done, she offered a 3 day “try it out” period. She made the whole experience amazing for him and we are happy to say we’ll be returning customers! Love this place!

Very good haircut for an excellent price. You rarely have to wait longer than 10 minutes, the staff is super friendly and it is always nice to chat with them. And most importantly, they know how to cut hair. It is nothing face though and you cannot compare it to a Vidal Sassoon salon but you also only pay a fraction of what you'd elsewhere. All in all a great salon and I go there regularly for more than 2 years now.

Amazing experience! They were very skilled and communicated super well, checking in to see how I felt about the haircut throughout the whole process. This was one of the first times I ended up with a haircut so close to my original vision for it. Also amazing prices! Would highly recommend!

Despite the modestly small appearance, this shop houses 2 excellent stylists that are more than capable of their craft. Lan & Phung have been here for a long time (thankfully), and continue to provide quality cuts & service for an affordable price, even through the latter portion of the pandemic. It's always a joy to talk with them, and get their input on what works best with your head or style if you ask. As a drabinista, I can confirm that their treatments have greatly improved my social outcome. Notes: - Call to make an appt always! Walk-ins may be possible, but don't be surprised if they tell you that there isn't any same-day availability after making the trek there. - Cash is a cheaper cut than if you pay by card. - If you're running late (like I always do...sorry Phung!), park in front of their shop where it says 20 min only. I've never had any issues there. - Expect to be there for approx 30-45 min, maybe more if they run behind a bit. Has rarely happened for me, but I tend to go earlier in the morning/afternoon.
