Antidote aims to bring a little of San Francisco chic to Alameda's residents. This upscale salon offers cuts priced on the higher end and rightfully so. Its professionally trained stylists might as well be working for show business by merit of their keen eye for beauty and fashionable hair. The salon's spacious yet intelligently designed interior is quite a change from the conventional hair salon chair-facing-the-wall structure. The layout feels both private and roomy, providing for an optimally comfortable experience in the chair.
