Her Secret Hair

I knew I had one of these Outdoor Supply Hardware stores literally around the block from me, but I had been going for just plant stuff and would usually drive further to Home Depot for everything else. For some reason when I had time, I decided to walk the entire store. I kept getting blown away by the amount of high quality stuff they have, which is all neatly organized in a store that’s actually pleasant to be in (unlike the chaos that you have to suffer through at Home Cheapot). They have lot of home essentials like lighting, networking cables, adapters, hand tools to save you in a pinch, and just so much more - they literally have everything! Honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever have to drive further than around the block for any of my projects around the house anymore. Helpful staff. This store is a dream.

I needed several 3mm and 4mm screws and nuts for a project. Outdoor Supply has by far the selection of individual fasteners in a mass market store and they're open on Sunday. Like Orchard Supply Before it, they also carry an incredible assortment of craft sodas at the checkout stands.

Hair loss is embarrassing, it is awkward, it is not sexy! It is especially not Fair. Going to Helen and Jo I felt understood. I wasn’t diminished or “less than” because of my struggles with hair loss. I felt like I was in my community. I had had color, strategic color, whatever that is… extensions that just unfortunately caused more hair loss (traction alopecia), I think I tried everything except a wig! When I went to Helen I was so sad, depressed, thinking I had no options except maybe a wig…which she does beautifully to my viewing. I started with one kind of hair replacement, but ultimately ended up with another based on my scalps response. Helen made a contract with me at the beginning with an evaluation and when my hair/scalp didn’t respond as expected she changed it up and advocated for a different method to fix my hair loss issues at no additional cost because she said so. Her word was a bond. I love her and Jo! Helen makes me feel like family. I can tell her anything with no judgment. Everything we do health wise affects our hair, skin and nails. Helen knows these things, she has experienced ALL of them. I trust her implicitly with my very personal hair loss issue, you’re the BEST🥰

OSH is back everyone! It's rebranded as Outdoor Supply Hardware now but it has a large selection of garden supplies, tools, hardware, finishes, and home fixtures. Staff were friendly and helpful and Tyler the cashier was particulaly nice

Outdoor Supply Hardware has everything! Very clean & organized store. Employees were very helpful. They have every nut, bolt, screw, hook ever made. Can’t wait to go back!

I have had the wonderful pleasure of working with the luminescent Helen Owens. She’s has worked with me in styling hair and make up for talent in numerous events including Oakland Pride and also my own personally directed films Across and Median. The sincere care, genuine love, and magnificent and meticulous skills Helen brings to every client is awe and life-inspiring, astounding, and professional in every way. Films and events are so challenging to produce, and Helen is seriously the calm in the middle of the storm. I am 200% sure that she treats everyone equally, with dignity and respect. I feel after working with Helen that I have not only worked with a professional artist who is indebted to beautifully and successfully completing and exercising her craft but an ego-less , self-less artist who truly cares about the human condition, the human spirit. To witness Helen touch so many people’s lives and put love and care not only in the project at hand, but each individual she comes into contact...she is a marvel to behold. I know she puts this passion , humanity, care for the fellow human and love into every project she’s on and also with every client she is in contact and makes everyone not only look - but feel better. Helen is truly a gift to us all. 💥

Love, Helen! She is an expert beyond experts. Every time I visit, I feel like family and walk out feeling beautiful with the customized hair services she provides to me. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new, natural look.

Been with them for years, love it completely. Great way of taking care of their customers and showing lots of love with our hair!
