Matthew Benson is a wizard…read more I have very fine, thin, soft hair that never seems to grow as long as I'd like, and it's been years since I've had a haircut I truly loved. Most cuts either fall flat or just don't work, and over time I started feeling like I hated my hair. I stopped doing much with it because nothing ever felt right, and that doesn't feel good when you don't feel your best. Matthew changed that completely. He understood exactly what my hair needed and gave me a cut that feels effortless, looks great, and actually makes me happy when I look in the mirror. For the first time in years, I'm genuinely excited about my hair. I couldn't be more grateful.

I just moved from the Peninsula to Santa Rosa so I knew that my hair stylist had to be a good fit for me. I was with my last one for 7 years. Finding Krystal was fate. She really understood what I wanted and the vibe I was going for. She's easy to talk to and it's like hanging out with a friend who happens to have a very special skill. Krystal cut my hair and gave me a balayage. It's perfect! I've gotten so many compliments and, more importantly, I feel confident. If you're new to the area or just looking for a new stylist, don't sleep on this place. Krystal is amazing and I'm so lucky to have found her!

Even before I talk about the color I want to lift up that a) they use tech really well (I'm on Zoom calls from one end of the day to the other so picking up the phone and calling someone is super difficult for me most days). They responded to my inquiry through Yelp immediately, forwarded my request on to their stylists, and I had an appointment set up within a half hour max. Ended up with Stephanie and she was wonderful! While she was putting the color in I noticed she didn't apply any protective gel or vaseline ahead of time to protect my skin from the dye. I just figured, "Well, I'm not going to see anyone today, if I'm walking around with a dye headband, it's fine." Well, she didn't NEED to put anything on my skin to protect it because she's that good at what she does! The color came out great -- very natural and healthy looking, and really shiny. And not one drop of dye anywhere except for on the roots where it belonged. On top of all this, Stephanie was super nice, as was everyone who worked there. Loved the ambience, too -- the music was sort of 70s classic rock as was the decor. I'm hoping to be out in this area again in the coming year, and definitely plan to go back to them! Thanks, Stephanie!

My hair color looks amazing -- natural, vibrant, and perfectly blended. The salon itself feels like a relaxing spa getaway -- welcoming, calm, and luxurious.

It's been a long time since I actually looked forward to going to the hair salon, but Teralyn and this salon have completely changed that for me. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I showed a couple pics, explained what I'm seeking, we talked and she began to work her magic. She did an incredible job! I love my color and cut, she is friendly, easy to talk to, good at what she does and gives off an overall warm friendly vibe. Super happy to have finally found someone who is good at what they do and I felt comfortable in her chair. Yay!! All the women at the salon (2 others) were friendly and kind, the whole salon has a friendly hood energy. Some of the products are locally sourced from Concord which is cool - they smell amazing!

I decided to take a leap and made an appointment for a perm here. Prior to my appointment, there…read morewas no instructions nor conversations about my hair. No one reached out to me at all. The price for the perm on my appointment stated it would be about $125+. Considering I had mid-length hair I expected to pay that price but was a little surprised when the stylist said it would be about $300 because of my very thick hair. $300 is understandable if my hair turned out amazing but sadly it did not lol. For the first few days, my hair looked okay. After the second wash, it was no longer a curly perm rather staightish/wavy hair. I'm quite disappointed because I paid so much money for something I did not want. The whole perm process was quite painful. I felt my hair being pulled through the whole rolling process. She also had another appointment after me, so she was rushing the whole time, and spilling perm solution all over my neck and back Also, they did not warn me that my jewelry will be affected by the perm solution. When I got home, my silver necklace and earrings turned black. I also wanted to note that I followed the instructions on how to care for my hair but unfortunately, my "curly" hair did not last long lol.
