Behind The Chair
Ma'lika Upshur
*California State Licensed Cosmetologist and Stylist*
I have had a passion for hair, years beyond my humble beginning at Laney College, Department of Cosmetology, where I was schooled in hair cutting and coloring. I became licensed in 2004, then starting my career at Klip Appeal Hair Salon in Oakland where I was a shampoo and blow dry assistant focusing on honing my skills on client relations. As I yearned for an advanced, comprehensive exciting career in hair, I joined the team as a Hairstylist at Xplosion Hair Salon in Oakland, where I have been working for the last 9 years.
As a Bay Area native, I am proud to serve you in this Oakland Boutique Salon and I look forward to having an extensive consultation with you, so that you're left with the best hair experience that enhances you!
