Alameda's Twist Salon Gets 'Two Curls Up' in WSJ Article

Curlytops, rejoice — Alameda's Twist Salon got a top review in a recent Wall Street Journal article that looked at stylists who specialize in curly and wavy hair.

Three intrepid, and occasionally frizzy, writers visited specialty salons in New York City, Dallas, Walnut Creek and Alameda to report on their hair-raising experiences.

Twist Salon owner Tami Quan gave the WSJ writer a "Deva" haircut, cutting the hair dry before washing and conditioning it. Here's what the WSJ said about the outcome:

"We really liked the results. Two months later, after following her instructions, the dreaded pyramid (flat on top, puffy on the sides) has yet to return."

Quan, who has curly hair herself, opened Twist in March of 2012. You may read more about the salon in "Twist Salon: Artistry with a Twist" and read the complete Wall Street Journal article here.

Twist is located at 1906 Encinal Ave. Telephone: 510-769-9909.
