Caveat: I've only gone to Aveda salons since I was 22. I was absolutely gutted when Salon Amour closed and figured I would try this one. So far, it's been just okay. Here are some ways they can improve: You have an employee there who has such a freaking potty mouth it's affecting your business. Maybe she is young and just wants to sound cool, but she sounds like an idiot. I don't want to hear the F word constantly (and I mean constantly) during my hair washing. Give me a break. I know we're all post-COVID and everything, but come ON. I'm a client, not your bestie. Be a grown up. Second, she didn't rinse the product out of my hair (I have long, thick hair). Why bother if you aren't going to rinse it all out? The next day when I took a shower the product was all over my shower. I gave her a really good tip, too. She sucked at hair washing. Bottom line: don't charge people over $200 for personnel who clearly don't want to be there. I don't want to do the crappy parts of my job either (hair washing is boring and tedious, I get it), but layering on profanity after profanity is not the way to be an Aveda salon. Be better than that. I'm not a "Karen" who expects 100% perfection, and I definitely use my share of the F-word, but I do expect a professional environment when you claim to have one. read more

My stylist left. She up and left me. She said she retired but in reality she met a new man and moved out of state. I kind of put off getting hair cuts for the entire pandemic. Your hairdresser breaks up with, you kind of go through a grieving period. Finally one day I got it together and made an appointment online at Citrus Salon. It had been awhile since I had been here. Keeping my life easy and I trust the stylists here. Their online appointment feature is also a god send. I was already having a social anxiety trip about having to just find a new stylist. I requested any stylist. I left it to the universe. I got to meet my new stylist Karen. I let her know that my hair is really simple. I just like a light trim in a sort of soft V shape. Plus I'm really here for the hair wash. Its the best part of seeing a stylist. Karen did an amazing job. She had me up and running in less than an hour. I loved my hair. I was bouncing that du all down the Blvd. My hair was so light and healthy and I'm obsessed with how amazing my hair smells after its done. I was so happy. Booked my next appointment a few month later. I'm looking forward to it so much. No, Ill never find my Truvy from Steele Magnolias. Now I have Karen at Citrus Salon. read more

Caryn did an excellent job cutting and styling my hair. She's always attentive to what I ask for, and checks in to make sure I'm getting the outcome I am hoping to see. The salon overall has a great atmosphere where things run smoothly and I feel well taken care of. Definitely recommend both the salon and going to Caryn. read more

Citrus Salon - New hair day. - Hair Salons Near Me - Martinez, California

I wrote a whole review praising this place and I have no idea where it went! I have gone here twice and it has been a wonderful experience both times. So much so that I wanted to make sure a positive review from me gets to their yelp page! I flew out from Boston to visit family and had recently got a bad haircut out on the East Coast and didn't want to go to the same place to get it fixed so I booked an appointment with Karalynne and she did an amazing job at fixing my hair! She took her time and listened to what I wanted and her attention to detail really made a difference! She is incredible at her craft and I will be just booking my hair appointments for when I fly out to see family from here on out! read more

This space is beautiful. I was searching for a new salon and found Alitza's work online. She did an amazing job and was so sweet. I always have short hair, and it can be difficult to find a stylist to perfect these cuts. She is my new stylist read more

I got my hair cut by Karalynne and I love it! After becoming a mom my go to hairstyle is a up do messy bun so I wanted something fresh and new that would make me feel put together. My husband also loved it! Couldn't recommended this place enough! read more

I was fortunate enough to get Ash as my stylist one day, and I have never looked back. She is the perfect stylist for me, and if you're looking for a stylist who truly listens, understands, and is willing to be adventurous then she is your girl ESPECIALLY if you have curly hair (but she can truly do it all). Ash is also so fun and kind, so you'll never be bored even when your hair takes hours! Anyone with curly hair knows how hard it is to find someone you trust with your hair and is willing to LISTEN to you and not just give you the curly cut and send you on your way. Ash has seen my curls through a variety of colors and stages, and my curls have stayed healthy and bouncy throughout. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Today was my second curly cut with Ash. Any curly person knows HOW HARD it can be to find a stylist who understands and has the skills to cut curly AND style curly hair. I have long been on a search for someone golden and I'm thrilled I found Ash. I went for a more dramatic cut today and even with my vague descriptions and inspiration photos, Ash was able to bring my discombobulated wishes to life. She asked me questions about what I liked and my routine so she goes in with all the information. My hair lately was super long, dry, and not having much shape. She gave me layers and texture. I always leave there feeling relaxed. The staff at Citrus are super friendly. It smells amazing and is super clean. I highly encourage fellow curly heads to give Ash a try! read more

My son had his first haircut in a long long time. Have curly hair my self it's hard to find someone you can trust and that they know what they are doing. I was recommended to Ashley from a friend of mine. My son hair cut is extremely what he was looking for. Moses said Mom she knows what she is doing and I've found my new hair stylist. He's been smiling all day. I have not seen his curls like that in a long time. Ash is professional, amazing and knows exactly what she is doing. I'm excited to seeing her next month. Thank you Ash read more

I love Citrus Salon. I've been coming for years at this point and they are a great Martinez community business. Roni is amazing, friendly, and approachable. I'm very fussy about my hair and it takes a long time to trust a salon and a person with my hair. But with Citrus I totally found my place! Well worth a visit. read more

Been going to Citrus on and off for a few years with different stylists. I think I found a favorite stylist in Ash and will be coming regularly now. Ash is amazing. I have a straight hair and she specializes in curly but no matter she is so good. Great at listening and very patient as I try to horribly explain what I'm looking for and she executed whilst giving great suggestions. I recently brought my little girl who has curly hair and loved her cut. Again Ash listened to our needs and helped fix the cut I butchered with a home cut. Long story short, Ash is amazing. Great stylist that will leave you loving your new do. read more

I have been going to Karalynne for quite some time, and she always does an amazing job with my color, balayage, and haircuts. I have dark hair with very stubborn gray roots, so I go in for root touch-ups every 6 weeks. Karalynne always keeps my color looking fresh and natural. On top of that, I have dry, frizzy/wavy, textured hair, which can be difficult to manage. Karalynne really understands how to work with it, and she respects how much (or how little) I want to cut, instead of over-layering like other stylists in the past have done (which made the frizz and puffiness worse). The balayage always blends nicely, and I love the way the color grows out naturally. Karalynne also cuts my family's hair, including my sons, who also have thick, textured hair, and she handles it with ease. Not only is she very talented behind the chair, but she's very warm and knows how to make even the most nervous clients very comfortable. She really takes the time to discuss your hair goals at the beginning of the appointment, and frequently checks in with me to make sure I am happy with the progress. I get compliments on my hair all the time, thanks to Karalynne! The salon is in downtown Martinez and has a wonderfully modern and welcoming vibe. read more

I love seeing Ashley at Citrus Salon. She's always kind and matches your energy, whether you wanna chat or chill while in the chair. I'm always happy with how my hair comes out as well. unrelated to my own personal experience but I have been following her growth as a stylist for a while and it's amazing to see how much her magic has grown. I've seen her do great things with curly hair and all other textures. and her hair color game is on point. I wish I lived closer to see her more often! read more

I had grown my hair to a considerable length during the pandemic and was weary about having it cut. After sitting in Ashley's chair, all my worries disappeared. She was nothing short of extraordinary. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I showed her some examples of what I was thinking and she was able to get me as close to the example as possible (granted I did not have the same hair texture as the example I brought in.) She is very knowledgeable about all hair types and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great experience. I'll be sure to be back when I'm ready for another haircut! read more

I had my curly hair cut with Ash and she was so great! I'm happy to have found someone closer to my area. She was very sweet and attentive to what I was asking for. The salon is super nice and clean and the staff are all great. Can't wait to come back again! read more

I've been a customer at Citrus for over a year now. I love the people, the atmosphere, the products, and my darling stylist, Angelina. I'm super picky about my hair (who isn't? ) and she always delivers the most gorgeous cut and color. I feel like a goddess when I get out of that chair. If you need an amazing stylist who's so great to work with, I highly recommend! read more

Karalynne made me feel pretty again. My hair looks amazing, and I feel like I hit the stylist lottery. Thank you Citrus & Karalynne!!!!!

I had my first visit today and my stylist was Ruby! She was so sweet and knowledgeable and I felt immediately comfortable. I asked her opinion about a style that I was interested in and she recommended something similar that would work better for my hair type! She wanted to make sure I left feeling and looking my best. Not to mention that the price can't be beat! I have definitely found my new salon and stylist. I highly recommend this place! Book now!! read more

Citrus Salon is worth the trip to Martinez wherever you live. The salon is not only an aesthetically wonderful place, but spacious and clean as well. Citrus is staffed with the most skilled and talented stylist who appear to always be happy, kind and friendly reflecting great management and a family environment. Viviana first performed magic on my curls years ago and has in the recent 18 months guided my hair as it transitioned to its beautiful and natural gray color while giving me yet another awesome hair style to compliment its new color. Long story short; I highly recommend Citrus Salon. You'll love it. read more

It's a real treat to come to Citrus Salon and have a few hours to be pampered and treated like royalty. Of course the reason I came to the Citrus Salon was for a haircut, color and highlights and got more than I wished for when Karalynne expertly gave me the hairstyle that I had envisioned and more. The cut was perfect, the hair color was exactly what I had in mind and the highlights were just a bonus that pulled the whole hairdo together. As far as I am concerned Karalynne has a customer for life. Excellent experience! read more

I can't remember when was the last time that I colored my hair due to past experiences but I was definitely ready this time! I took a survey before my appt. and selected Jacqueline as my stylist and wow, so glad that I did! She was so welcoming, had a clear open mind with what I was looking for, listened to my hair anxiety and was very personable. She UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT and knew exactly what I wanted. And through the process of it all she walked through every step! I would highly recommend her and I asked her to please NOT MOVE read more

By far the worst and most expensive haircut of my life. And to add insult to injury, I feel that the "master stylist" was dishonest by curling my hair at the end to hide my botched hair. I didn't ask for styling and I let her know I just let my hair air dry, so it was confusing when she brought out the curling iron. I've been growing my hair out for years. She took off 2-3 inches in overall length which ia fine yard yard i asked for, but since I asked for layers, the shortest layer is now at my shoulders. It's choppy all over and uneven. Even in a pony tail there's a bunch or shorter and longer strands that refuse to blend in. Now to get it fixed I'll likely need to get 4-5 inches of overall length cut off. Not even the bangs I asked for are even. I called and emailed pictures of my hair, I was polite and patient, but when I asked what they could do. They said don't worry, the same "master stylist" will cut your hair again for free. Why would I want that?? I lost my time, my money, and worst of all years of healthy hair growth. And yes, I cried. It's nice inside, it's clearly upscale, so I hoped I'd get what I was paying for. NOPE! Horrendous. I have no idea what happened here because the reviews and pictures they post are good, but when I tell you I am embarrassed to leave my house without my hair in a bun or at least a headband, that's how you know it's bad. I'm not a vain person, but I feel like the dog that got shaved by the new groomer, shaking in its kennel with a stupid little bow attached to it as a consolation prize. The dishonesty is the worst part. It stings to give yourself over to an expert, trust them, chat with them, let them get to know you, and then get this in return. Edit: After a few back and forth emails, Citrus let me know that curls and waves at the end of an appointment are complimentary, but that they will now discuss how a client would like their hair styled during the consultation to avoid a misunderstanding like this in the future. Also, I should add that they very much tried to reschedule me with anyone of their stylists to fix my hair and that if it's beyond repair they might refund me, but that they've never had to do so. I simply don't feel comfortable going back and declined their offer. read more

Yesterday, March 17, was my first time visiting Citrus -- my stylist was Alitza. Being high risk of COVID because of a genetic disease, I have not had my hair done since 2019. My first call to book the appointment was amazing. Kiely is a gem, I told her my hair issues and we booked with Alitza. I even told her I was high risk of COVID and she asked if I wanted the stylist to wear a mask, she can make a note. Those of you who are high risk understand how nice this offer is. Because this is a luxury service I told her there was no need, I also understand how difficult it is to move around with a mask. My appointment was amazing. Alitza is personable, knowledgeable, and definitely an asset to Citrus. Because I am 42, we did a gray blending with special highlights. I have hairloss from kidney failure and with her cut, you can't tell. Thank you so much Alitza, you performed a miracle yesterday. I wish Brad was still the City Manager, I would email him and tell him about my experience, more businesses and people need to treat disabled people like Citrus and Alitza. I have been sick since I was 15, usually when people hear they say "I am sorry" or "that is horrible" which makes you feel weak; not at Citrus, Kiely and Aliza were both so empowering. Thank you so much for being you, doing what you do. You rock! Can't wait for my next appointment in 10.5 weeks! read more

I have been going to Citrus Salon for many years. I have gone to Aveda Salons most of my life and love their products. As a matter of fact, Aveda has products for every hair-scalp concern. This salon is very tentative to detail and has great customer service. I have been consistent with my stylist now for quite some time and am grateful she has mastered the look I prefer. Thank you Angelina! read more

I've been going to Citrus for years and it's been a great experience! Salon is clean, staff is nothing short of amazing and scheduling with Karlie and Angelina is a pleasure! The location is smack in the heart of downtown so the option to linger around and turn it into an afternoon is yours for the taking. I've been seeing Hollie for 7 years and can definitively say she is a master. I get consistent cuts month after month and the experience is always a week highlight! I feel like a rockstar when I leave. Occasionally, parking can be annoying. You may have to walk a block or 2 but IMHO the experience is worth it! read more

Highly recommend this salon, Rachel specifically! She's been cutting my hair for about a year now, she listens to exactly what I want and always delivers. She's knowledgeable, professional and just fun to hang out with for the hour that I'm there. The salon is beautiful and carries quality products. I appreciate that they have a front desk receptionist, a lot of salons no longer have that. She is always very friendly and super helpful! It's just an inviting place to be where you get great service. read more

If you are looking for a stylist that will help you feel more confident and beautiful Roni if your girl!! You will not be disappointed I promise!! I have been going to Roni for a couple years now and I leave the salon every time feeling like a million bucks!! She's patient and willing to work with you in order to achieve your hair goals. Roni convinced me to get hair extensions and it was possibly the best decision I've ever made in my life!! Roni never fails to amaze me. She is truly the best hairstylist around! Citrus salon in general, always knows how to take care of their customers and provide the best service! read more

Let me just preface by saying: I hate getting my hair cut. Hate. It. I'm an awkward tongue tied mess when it comes to sitting in a chair for an hour and trying to make small talk, that I've always put off going 6 months (and in this case a year) at a time. And COVID had nothing to do with it. Until now. Well, I'm still awkward af but it was a much better experience than what I'm used to. Ha I decided to try out a new salon and cannot say enough great things! Citrus Salon is located in Downtown Martinez on Main St. They carry all Aveda products and customize hair color to your preference. They're also an eco friendly salon which is such a big plus in my book. My stylist, Elle, was sweet, skilled in her craft and knew exactly what I wanted. She put me at ease while in her chair and didn't miss a beat when I apologized for all of my awkward silences. LOL Citrus Salon's COVID-19 response is on point. I called the salon once I arrived and waited outside until Elle was ready for me to come in. Everyone comes in one at a time. They ask you the standard COVID questions, take your temp and have a little stand for hand sanitizer. Every one wears a mask and the stations are all spread out through the salon. I felt very secure with their safety measures. I also ended up buying the shampoo and conditioner Elle used in my hair and was thinking about getting a leave in conditioner, but she didn't think I needed it. I really appreciated her candor and liked the fact that she didn't try to upsell me on anything, like is sometimes done at other salons. It feels good to have found a new salon and stylist, as the stylist I usually go to would hardly ever listen to what I wanted and I'd end up having to ask her to fix it- which always sucks. Anyhow, what a phenomenal experience I will definitely be back! Thanks, Elle! read more

In going to my appointment, I was so excited but that quickly turned into disappointment:(. I have very curly hair but my stylist was named one of the best curly/textured hair specialists by her peers, which made me trust her with my hair. Long story short, she attempted to comb my hair from the root (causing knotting in the middle) and there was shampoo and conditioner leftover in my hair. I ended up leaving right after my wash because before even styling, I could feel that there was still shampoo deep inside my hair:(. The vibe which I received was that they work exceptionally well with wavy/very loosely curled hair, but aren't as knowledgeable with really-curly and thick hair. After leaving, I had to rinse my hair (and found a lot of shampoo near the back) and after styling it the cut came out alright. The experience had the biggest impact on my review. read more

I found Citrus through Yelp and was impressed by all the great reviews. After scanning their website, I booked an appointment for the first availability. I met Alitza and she was very personable and sweet. I loved that she had suggestions in addition to what my appointment had me scheduled for. I absolutely loved my cut and the color adjusting she did. I left extremely happy with the way my hair turned out and booked a follow up with her. The salon is beautiful and modern and makes you feel the same. They are on top of Covid protocols and it's very clean and safe. I'm glad I booked an appointment and would totally recommend. read more

I followed my stylist, Hollie, here from her previous salon and would follow her to the ends of the earth! Even though I travel even further from home to see her, she's truly the best. She's always cheerful, takes time to really listen to your needs and is honest about expectations given each unique situation. I almost don't wanna say too much so I can keep her to myself. The salon: the space is modern, yet warm. Clean, with all proper virus safety protocols followed. Maybe in the past I was just naively denied how awesome a salon business could operate, but the best part about this salon is how they have their sh$& together. They're on top of their social media presence and digital space with timely notifications on the latest Covid openings/closings, rescheduling procedures, local community collabs, etc. Ya'll are doing it RIGHT! read more

Spent the afternoon here the other day as my regular hair stylist has just moved to this location. Place is easy to get to, parking is a little tricky because it gets really busy on the Main Street, but it is free on the weekends so that was a nice plus. I was instantly greeted, and asked if I wanted some tea right away. I felt at home and the place is so well kept. Everyone here is so nice, and welcoming even if you aren't getting your hair done by them. Definitely recommend this salon. read more
