Founded in April of 2008, C-J's is a one-stop beauty shop housed in a tucked-away bungalow. Customers can walk away with a new haircut, a new spray tan and even a new purse, since the salon also carries an assortment of fashion accessories. C-J's staff is reflective of Castro Valley's diverse community, and can speak four languages: English, Cantonese, Spanish and German. Co-owner Cheryl Leydecker says that what makes the salon unique is the way the stylists work as a team. And Tony, one of the four in-house stylists, can break the pH balance of human hair down to a science. Just ask him.
