Azura is a boutique hair and makeup studio in the heart of Uptown Oakland, founded in 2016 by lead stylist Naomi. Every cut, color, and bridal look is shaped around the person in the chair — not a trend, not a template.
Azura began in 2016 in the heart of Uptown Oakland — a place for people looking for personalized beauty experiences that highlight their distinct style, not a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.
Founder and lead stylist Naomi started the studio with a simple intention: redefine beauty through the lens of individuality, and create a space where guests could not only enhance their outer beauty but also rediscover their inner confidence. Years later, that intention still shapes every chair, every consultation, every appointment.
We believe your hair and makeup should reflect your unique personality and style — and the team is dedicated to bringing your vision to life, whether that's a classic cut, a bold color transformation, or a flawless look for the most important day of your life.
Naomi built Azura around a small set of values that decide everything else — what we book, what we put on your hair, and how we close out an appointment.
Every service is tailored to you. We take the time to understand your hair history, your lifestyle, and how you actually wear your look between visits — then design around that, not around what's on a moodboard this season.
We stay at the forefront of techniques through continuous training and education. From precision cutting to balayage placement to bridal airbrush, the goal is the same — bring the latest skill to a quietly classic finish.
High-quality products, carefully selected to nourish and protect — not just to deliver a single great wash-day. The result you leave with should still feel healthy weeks later.
I founded Azura in 2016 because I wanted to share my love for beauty in a setting where every guest is genuinely seen — not rushed through a chair on someone else's schedule.
My background is in personalized, consultation-led work: precision cuts, lived-in color, gloss and toner refreshes, balayage and baby-lights, and bridal hair and makeup. Bridal is a particular love of mine, and on wedding days I travel on-location with a trusted team to take care of you and your bridal party from start to finish.
Whatever you're booking — a small refresh or a full transformation — I want you walking out feeling like the most confident version of yourself.
Every service starts with a thorough consultation. We ask, we listen, we propose — and only then do we begin. Nothing about the visit is on a clock that doesn't include you.
We sit down together first. You share your hair history, your inspiration, and how you wear your look day-to-day.
We propose a tailored plan — a cut, a tone, a placement — and walk through what's realistic for your hair on this visit and the next.
Wash, scalp massage, condition, the service itself, and a finished blowout — calm, unrushed, with the kind of attention private appointments allow.
Styling notes, product recommendations, and an honest conversation about how to keep it looking right until you're back in the chair.
“If for any reason you are not completely happy with your service at Azura, please call us within 10 days of your original service date and we will gladly provide you a complimentary adjustment service with your original stylist.”
Adjustments are scheduled exactly like regular appointments and are provided at no charge. It's the simplest way we know to make sure the chair you sit in feels safe.
Whether it's a quiet refresh, a full transformation, or a wedding-day look that has to be exactly right — we'd love to be part of it. Book a consultation and we'll take it from there.
