Akela’s Hair Studio

My work has graced runways and magazine pages. I have taught classes in the city’s top salons. However, my greatest joy is connecting with my clients behind the chair. At Akela’s Hair Studio you will receive private, personalized hair care services from a master stylist who is passionate about the industry and never stops learning.

Akela’s Hair Studio brings curl and coil craftsmanship to San Francisco’s Marina District. Since opening in 2019, Akela Douglass has built a reputation for creating textured-hair experiences that blend precision cutting, custom color, and expert curl styling in a cozy, welcoming salon setting. Her clients leave with textures defined, strands protected, and confidence boosted.

As a Wella Curl Craft Pro Artist and national educator, Akela expands beyond the chair—hosting styling workshops, brand teaching sessions, and offering curated maintenance advice. Her focus on technique and curl health has made her studio a niche hub for clients and stylists seeking both education and salon results.
