EJ is sooo cool. An artist with scissors and color expertise that is equal to or better than any of the "exclusive hi-end salons" I've visited in LA, San Diego, New York, Chicago. EJ really listens, and approaches each person with genuine care and professionalism. I'm edgy, so I pushed her comfort zone with bleach and she delivered. Way beyond my expectations. She creates the most gorgeous natural blonde ever. Good bye orange, hello "baby blonde." read more

EJ's is hands down my favorite hair stylist ever. I started going during pandemic and her one person little salon, attached to her house, is a marvel of ingenuity and class. I personally do not enjoy the chit chatter and eavesdropping of salons so I very much appreciate the cozy atmosphere. EJ only uses quality products, she cuts hair to perfection and is clearly an experienced and consummate professional. She is also very attuned to client requests and comments yet, able to make suggestions. Always a pleasure read more

I had Jennifer do my hair and makeup for my wedding. She was amazing! I went to a couple people before I saw her and they made me look older than I was. I didn't even recognize myself so, when I found her I was so relieved! We did a trial she listened and understood what I wanted. I was so happy because I looked like myself ..beautiful and a vibrant bride. She also did my maid of honor, bridesmaid and Moms's makeup and hair. They all looked beautiful too! If she's available book her! read more

EJ-588 Hair Studio - Getting Ready! - Hair Salons Near Me - Sonoma, California

See all

So if you know me, you'll know I don't need to spend time in Hair Salons. However I was heading up to Sonoma and the wife commented on how disheveled I looked. With a quick search on Yelp I came across EJ-588 Studios. Hanna was kind enough to accommodate me. Haircut I think (will wait for the wife rating) was good, Salon is fresh and inviting, staff friendly and proficient. Anyhow, if you find yourself in Sonoma and fancy getting a chop, I would highly recommend. Thanks EJ and Hanna for helping me out... read more

Jen did it again! Damn, she's good! Along with her mellow sweet disposition, she is able to style my hair like a celebrity. The cut is always spot on and she solved my white hair with a quick fix for my three week long upcoming event. So now no one will call me grandma! Now I'm a hot blond with a hip versatile cut. I love love love Jen. I want her all for myself but, I'm willing to share the love. Don't miss out on this very talented stylist. She truly is a gem. I walked out with happy feet and a wide smile! read more

Ej gets 5 stars for a simple fact, Lainey. Lainey used to work for a salon that was bicycle riding distance from my house in San Francisco, now she works at Ej-588 in Sonoma which is an hour and a half drive for me. That is how good she is, I drive through traffic and across 2 toll bridges to get to her. Ej-588 is a cute little place 1 block off the main square with a tiny 3 car parking lot. Their space inside is everything you want from a salon including the flares of 90's art such as the giant ruby red lip sculpture/painting thing that hangs in the bathroom. Hey, did we come here to look at art or to get haircut? A haircut! So lets point out that they have a number of stylists, their products are top of the line, and the price is right. All those things are great, but you have to have the right person cutting your hair at the end of the day. Guess what? Its Lainey. It is. She cuts all kinds of hair, is one of the nicest people I know, and everyone that gets their hair cut by her leaves the salon more than happy - and knowing they have made a new friend. If you live in the area, go see Lainey at Ej-588 for the best haircut you will ever get! That goes for guys and gals. (gals? where are we? Omaha? sorry...I digress) If you don't live in the area, make a day of it and drive up there for a cut, walk the square, grab a bite, taste some wine, and drive back down. Trust me, its worth it. read more

When you slip into EJ-588, just blocks off the idyllic town square of Sonoma, you'll likely forget you're just a block off the idyllic town square of Sonoma. EJ's is modern, urban -- a time warp to a larger, more sophisticated city. But that doesn't mean you have to be 19 with a nose piercing and an undying love of Sid Vicious to go here. Soccer moms, hockey moms, and Joe Six Pack would all feel as welcome as their hip, college-aged children. EJ's has a cadre of great stylists. I've gotten cuts from two of them -- Christopher and Hannah -- and both deserve high praise for not only giving a good cut, but a good cut that fit me, and with little guidance. The prices are consistent with a high-quality salon, but nothing that will break the bank. Some established stylists at EJ are booked well in advance, but I've had no trouble getting in on short notice. More over, the folks here are just naturally nice. So, go, cut, color, and relax. read more

I have been going to EJ for about a year and I love it. I book my appointments for a year in advance, EJ does a fantastic job on my hair, and it is a challenge, as post cancer hair and I am not good at styling and I love my new cut! The staff is always warm and welcoming. read more

I've had conservative hair for a long time, but finally have a job that allows me room to have fun with it. One of my friends recommended Hanna after seeing pics if what I was looking for. I came in and told Hanna, who was super friendly and professional that I wanted my hair to look like a Lisa Frank folder had exploded on my hair. For those of you unfamiliar with Lisa Frank, please take a moment to Google. Hanna not only achieved what I was looking for but made my time in the chair the best I'd ever had. My hair turned out so wonderful that I'm back two weeks later getting even more done. I can't recommend this salon more, and if you're looking for some non traditional colors, Hanna is the gal to see. read more

Stephanie is amazing and so talented!!! She is incredibly beautiful and kind. My highlights and lowlights are perfectly blended. My hair feels healthier now after the color. The salon is very fun and calming with great modern art. I highly recommend Stephanie and it's right near Peets coffee. Stephanie also gives a great shampoo it was so relaxing. read more

Donna is the best! I've always had long hair curly hair, and decided one day that it was time for a complete makeover. We chopped it off, 8"!! Donna did an amazing job, she first asked me about myself to get a sense of who I am, and then did her thing. I'm in love with my haircut :) and have since cut it 2x with Donna. People love it and call it "sexy & sassy", all I need is my red lipstick and I'm all set!! Thanks again Donna, great work :) read more

I've followed Erica for over 20 years from Marin to Boyes Hot Springs to Sonoma, where she opened her own salon. She is always on the "cutting" edge in haircutting and coloring techniques, as well as her own style. I always get great haircuts. I would never let anyone else color my hair. She starting covering my gray and now she's frosting my hair to help my go gray "gracefully". If I don't like it, I have a great colorist! read more

The very best hair stylists in the Northbay are at EJ 588! Be sure to call ahead for your appointment - they are all so talented and in demand. read more

I tried this salon for the first time recently, based in part on its rave reviews, and guess what? It's not just hype. The salon itself is as urbane and up-to-date as described, with six experienced stylists. You won't get EJ (she's booked out 4 mos with her regulars), but she obviously has very high standards for her colleagues as well, so I felt confident in booking with whoever was available first. Happily, that was Donna. Because she is relatively new to the salon (but not to the profession), Donna was able to get me in right away (I don't expect that to last, as more & more discover her) and I could not be happier with my cut and highlights. She listens well and asks the right questions to get where you want to be. My experience was pleasant and efficient, and I'm glad I found Donna. The only negative is I think they are a little pricey for the area--this is not San Francisco. read more

EJ is a rockstar when it comes to hair and progressive styling..even after moving to the East Bay I traveled back to Sonoma! Her studio is goregous and the vibe is super relaxing! She is the best of the best in Sonoma for sure! read more

Erica Jo and the crew at EJ-588 ROCK!! These stylists are the best of the best and deliver amazing results!

I had a great experience getting a cut and color from Jennifer. It was a big change for me. I showed her a photo of what I wanted and she did a great job replicating the style and color. It's only been a few days and I have already gotten many compliments from friends and strangers. read more

Jennifer is the bomb! I came into the shop with a head of hair that hasn't been touch in about a year. I requested a certain cut and color and she NAILED it! Usually when I go to a stylist it isn't quite what I asked for. My hair looks great. I'm getting several compliments. So I would highly recommend Jennifer and the salon. Friendly ladies, a modern, hip, clean atmosphere with a beautiful back deck. Coffee, water, and snacks served. My new place. Check it out! read more

I just had the Coppola Keratin Smoothing treatment a week ago by Christopher...I love it! No frizz and shiny smooth hair, for anyone with over processed hair and curly frizz this is fantastic! My hair has never looked better and I save so much time in the morning, not having to section and flatiron every single bit of hair. I just blow dry and go, if I want super sleek straight hair, one quick swipe with the iron of the a larger section of hair and I am done. Love it, Love it, love it....thanks Christopher! Great special on at the moment too, which prompted me to try it. I will be back. read more

I have been a client of Erica Jo (EJ-owner) for approx. 15 years & have never had a "bad hair day" since!! She is not only an incredible stylist/colorist but has also become a dear friend & confidant who makes me feel good on the inside as well as gorgeous on the outside! I have received numerous compliments not only from friends but from other hair stylists which speaks volumes! For those of you who now want to make an appt., EJ is booked up but the other stylists in her shop are equally as talented and have availability. EJ-588 is a modern & welcoming place with great products, great music & best of all-incredible stylists that provide great hair to all their clients! read more

EJ has been cutting and coloring my hair since I moved to Sonoma. She really is the best! I like to try different things with my hair (which goes curly or straight) and she's found a way to make it work every time no matter what style I had in mind. Currently I'm growing it to see how long it will get. She knows the right products to recommend for your hair too and will give you honest reviews of new things. She really loves what she does, and is very up-to-date on techniques and fashion and product development and attends many seminars and hair shows. The studio is always clean and welcoming with coffee and biscotti for you. If you're a model or just want to feel like one when you walk out the door, this place can do amazing things with anyone's type of hair, always considering what you would like and listening to what you ask for. read more

Just had the best hair cut EVER by Lisa!! I went in with frumpy haggard mom hair and she made my hair look sexy, healthy and beautiful! She was kind, respectful and I enjoyed chatting with her throughout my appointment. I will definitely be going back! read more

Lisa at EJ is great. I'm sad I don't live in Sonoma anymore because her haircuts were always great. She cut layers piece by piece, never hack-y or choppy. And I always felt like a star when I left. Even though the changes were small from haircut to haircut, people would stop me on the street and admire my haircut. That's proof of a great cut. Always easy to book an appointment, Lisa would work me in when I needed to see her. I miss living close by. But the haircuts might be worth the drive. read more

I found EJ-588 and Frauka about a year ago. Frauka always gives a great cut, but just be sure you have expressed your wants clearly, and that she hears you. Though my cuts are not always exactly what I have asked for (or what I thought I conveyed that I wanted), as far as the cuts themselves go, they are always stylish and professionally done. In a nutshell: She's good. Just be sure you're clear, and you won't be disappointed. read more

I came here one day when I was in a bind - normal hair-dresser booked and too far (I see someone in Marin). Newer gal, Sharyn, did my hair - fantastic. She wanted it more perfect than I did! They're a little pricey but I definitely recommend. read more

This is the best hair salon I know. I commute from Berkeley to go here. Erica Jo is fantastic! But all the other stylists seem terrific, too. The physical plant is beautiful and it is a pleasure to spend time at this salon. read more

Hanna is my favorite hair stylist in Sonoma. I have tried several salons and am so happy to have finally found her. She listens to what I say and then makes suggestions based on what I am telling her. She has always provided a stellar cut and style that has lasted and washes and wears well. She is such a gem!! read more

I went to this salon for the first time today, for a wedding hairstyle run-through, and I was very impressed. I can't vouch for the haircuts, since I just got my hair styled, but the styling (by Frauka) was great, the space was clean, attractive, and modern, and everyone there was really friendly. Plus, they give you coffee and biscotti while you wait! If I lived closer, I'd definitely be going here regularly. read more

EJ-588 is a fun, hip salon with a great vibe! It's always relaxing experience, but more that ..... MY HAIR LOOKS FABULOUS!!!! Every four weeks, like clock work, my family and I make our pilgrimage to the hair goddess knowing that we're leaving with something good. Erica Jo, you're the best! read more

A great place. Amazing service at a affordable price. Melony went above and beyond to fit us in for a last minute appointment. My son got a fantastic hair cut and has gotten nothing but compliments on it. I would definitely go back. read more

After moving cross country to Sonoma 4 months ago I have been looking for a really good stylist. I found her here at EJ-588. My hair was a mess. Frauka was my stylist and I couldn't be happier. The cut she did is up to date and easy to manage. I have received several compliments from people. I highly recommend this place! Prices are what I expect in a quality salon. Very fair. read more

Jennifer at EJ-588 is the best! Not only did she do a fantastic job on my hair for my wedding, she does an amazing cut and color. I live in Corte Madera but will gladly make the drive to Sonoma for Jennifer and this fantastic salon! read more
