Monica West is the best. Great energy, great style, knows what's she's doing. I love the salon vibe. I never feel hurried or crowded. The salon is in the perfect neighborhood for strolling, shopping, and grabbing a bite to eat. If I ever move out of the area, getting my hair done by Monica is something I will surely miss. read more

Anita is lovely! Great consultation and communication throughout my appointment, I left feeling great about my hair!

Anita saved my daughter's hair. My teenage daughter was unhappy with the product build up on her hair. Anita gave her a consultation, advised her to take a short break from using conditioner then switching to R&CO products, and saw a huge improvement. Also got a great cut and color. Thank you Anita! read more

A true stylist. Amazing very professional and great with color and cut. 5 stars all the way. Perfection.

Anita is a wonderful stylist! I came to get my hair cut before performing in a holiday concert, and I am so happy to have found this salon on yelp.

See all

Anita has been my hairstylist since I moved to Sonoma in 2020, and I have been happy with how she has cut my hair, suggested products, etc. since that time. She's always been able to work around my (sometimes unpredictable) schedule. Salon staff are helpful, professional, and kind. Always a relaxing experience. read more

Everything! Cut, color, blow out, service, products, location.... Anita's shop has it all. She is incredibly talented and kind and fun. The shop has a very welcoming vibe and I always come away happy. read more

Anita has magic hands! I've been coming to her for a few years now and she never disappoints. Truly she is very skilled and knowledgeable to all things hair related. She knows how to cut and style Asian hair very well (which is so rare to find in the region). She is patient, kind and always listens to your needs/wants. She is a brilliant artist and treats every haircut with the most care possible. I know I can trust her and always come away feeling pampered and amazing. Thanks Anita!! read more

I've gone to Anita for years and she is honestly the most skilled hairstylist I've ever seen. I have thick straight hair and she always remembers how to work with it and make it have a beauty light flow. I love that the cut grows out beautifully as well. If you're looking for stylist who is extremely skilled that you can really trust to give you a beautiful cut, Anita is your gal. read more

THE BEST STYLIST EVER! I have the most difficult frizzy hair ever and was SO happy when I discovered Anita. I love the way she styles cut and colors my hair. Long time client. I drive all the way from Berkeley to Sonoma to see her because she's that good. Look no further!!! There is no one better. Right read more

Anita was the first hair stylist I went to after the Pandemic, and I am still one of her many very happy clients. When my stylist of some years relocated to Palm Springs, I found Anita by accident when the local paper botched her ad and gave the wrong address for her services! I wear a medium length bob, and Anita gives me the best haircut and style I've ever received. She is a very talented hairstylist--my cuts last 8-10 weeks. Anita uses a combination of precision and style so my hair always keeps its shape. Best haircut I've ever had! Atmosphere at Purely Sonoma is airy and relaxing, although I'm positive Anita in any location would be just as terrific! Highly recommend! read more

Anita is beyond great! knows how to work with curly/wavy hair and the best cuts for it that work with your face, so good at finding and mixing the color you want and helping make decisions, and uses the best products and dyes read more

Anita Albini is the best!! I have never loved my hair so much, and I'll never go anywhere else again. She is a master at color and is a true artist or some cool wizard or something! my hair has depth and dimension and I can't believe how great it looks. I am 61 and am blending grays with highlights and lowlights. do yourself a favor and book an appointment with her! seriously! 5 stars!! read more

It can take forever to find the right stylist who knows a lot about color. Anita is one who naturally has a refined skill at determining what will look best for you -- both with your cut and color. I can't recommend her enough, and even my very picky husband loves her. read more

I've been going for haircuts and highlights with Anita for two and a half years. She's a fabulous stylist! My hair is as dry as hay! Her products make it soft and shiny. I have a big chin ( sort of like Jane Fonda) and a narrow forehead. Her haircuts complement my face well! And I'm going grey over mousy brown in color. Anita has covered most of it with highlights and low lights. She recently added more "warmth", and I love the color. I highly recommend this talented, attractive, woman --worth every penny I spend. read more

Anita probably doesn't need my 5-star review to get your business, but I'm going to give her one anyway. Anita is a really talented hairstylist. She has done a better job with doing the specific type of cut and color I've asked for than any other stylist I've gone to. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she was able to replicate it almost exactly. My hair has now grown out since, but I still get compliments on my cut even though it's been almost 2 months. Bottom line - Anita got it, she totally knew what I was looking for and was able to execute, even with my long flat Asian hair. Anita is absolutely wonderful-- Highly recommend! read more

I have been seeing Anita for about 6 months now. I went in with a shoulder length bob and walked out with a short pixie cut. It completely changed my look. I have thin fine hair and she knew exactly how to style it to get the maximum amount of fullness. She also changed my color. I can now go about 4 weeks before the gray starts to show. She's amazing. I highly recommend Anita. Also.....Estela is an adorable shop. read more

This hairstylist is seriously one of the most amazing hairstylist I've been to in the last 20 years. She's one of those professionals that just looks, assesses, and makes recommendations that will improve the quality of your appearance with your hair. She picks great color, knows which style fits you best, and works hard. She is a gem in the rough..... read more

Anita did a great job on my straight hair, cutting a style (graduated bob) that frames my face and requires very little work. I was able to shampoo and blow dry and without a curling iron or volumizing shampoo or gel. I am so glad she is in Sonoma. read more

Anita is one of those gems in the world of hair stylists. I first discovered her at Keter in Berkeley and could tell right away that I'd found someone I could not only trust to give me an amazing cut but who truly understands hair (my curls) and loves what she does. I've come to the salon wanting to try something new and exciting and I've come in wanting the same cut as before, either way she always delivers. Most importantly she's simply a wonderful human being with mega skills as a stylist. read more

Anita gave me a fresh new haircut today - it's the first time I've had my hair cut in over five years. Yes, I'm very picky! She's such a joy and did a fantastic job. I love it! Welcome back to Sonoma, Anita! read more

Believe me, it really does not get any better than this /full stop. Anita reigns. She is a magical artist, with scissors. So blessed to have found my Hair Magician! read more

I started my hair journey with Anita about 2 years ago. My first appointment she helped correct some color craziness that I had going on. We're now working on transitioning my once bleach blonde hair to my natural color, a medium brown. Anita is an expert with color and stylish cuts so I always trust her advice, she presents all my options and never makes me feel pressured to do one thing or another. The salon she works out of in Sonoma is so charming! read more
