The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star is lack of a sink for Lindsey to wash hair. So come with your hair clean and you'll leave happy and beautifully coiffed! I live in BB and dreaded driving far for a professional cut. Mudd and Gold was newly opened and oh so cute from the outside! I googled the establishment and made an appointment on the convenient portal. https://muddandgold.com Lindsey was bubbly and real! No fake facade and genuinely interesting. It can be awkward going to a new stylist. She is skilled at gauging if you need silence or want to talk. The most important thing is she listened and gave me the cut I wanted while making suggestions along the way. I'll be back. Oh! Along with a hair studio this place is a gift shop! Quality jewelry and handmade home items such as candles and pillows! If you don't come for a cut or style come for the swag. read more

Lindsay is a delight! It was my first time into her adorable shop/salon and I immediately felt at home. Not to mention, she is a very skilled stylist! My hair is very thick and wavy, which can make for a somewhat challenging cut I've been told at other salons. This did not phase Lindsay. She knew exactly the method to use that did not result in the giant poof style that can sometimes happen when stylists aren't skilled with thinning techniques. I'm so grateful Lindsay is in the area and looking forward to getting back to see her. She also provided a better quality face mask than I came in with. I appreciated her caution and care! read more

Lindsey is just terrific! I am an old lady and still quite vain. I am always fussing about my hair - now thin, still straight and skimpy. I started getting it cut and styled by Lindsey over a year ago and I am thrilled with her work! I feel like I'm not 3 decades past my prime! I'm even possibly IN my prime - in the "attractive old lady" category! Plus, I love her energy, vitality and enthusiasm. Such a joy to hang out in her cute shop and have her do wonders with my hair! read more

Best hair cut. Make on-line appointment and after haircut, check out restaurants and hike trails or go kayaking out on the ocean if you are up for challenge. You have chance to see elephant seals in water read more

Okay, so yes, no running water in her little shop is a bit of a bummer, but Lindsey is an artist! I came in for a haircut, without a pic to show what I wanted, and tried to communicate what I would like my hair to do. I have been searching for a skilled hair stylist for what feels like forever (since my LA days approx. 12 years ago). Lindsey not only listened to what I wanted, she made smart suggestions, and really got to know my head ... ... The result? I now have happy, no nonsense hair. I have weird cowlicks and other wavy stuff going on with my hair that makes it hard for me to know what cut works well. SHE knew! Also, Her shop is adorable, filled with artisan "one-of-a-kind" pieces. So, I ended up buying a great dress to match the cute hair. I will definitely be back, and obviously I would definitely recommend her to anyone who can forego the hair-washing during a salon visit. read more

Im so glad I found a local hairdresser that is genuinely a great real person! The interior is beautiful and the vibes are awesome. I got to love my hair again thanks to Lindsey. I'm definitely going back! read more

I was coming back from a hike with my mom and she wanted to browse through some shops in Bodega. Mudd and Gold ended up being one of them. We were inside probably only a minute or two, but in that time I found the feel of the place appealing, the quirkily cuddly cards, the tastefully eclectic arts and crafts, and most especially the friendly hairdresser. I had a feeling I'd get a great haircut here and enjoy the visit. So when I next needed a haircut, this is where I decided to go, and I'm glad I did. It was easily the most enjoyable haircut experience I've had in my life, and I love the haircut too! It was very much worth a little more money and the drive from Santa Rosa compared to walking to the local barbershop. For the first time in my life I can't wait for my hair to grow so I can go back and get another haircut! My mom thought I was crazy. She kept asking me why on earth I would drive so far for a haircut. (It's gotta be 15 miles! Why would you do that?? Why did you go there again?) Fortunately, at my age I shouldn't have to explain such decisions to my mom. I'll be back. Lindsey is the best. read more

I saw the ad for this place in the Gazette and decided to give it a try. I haven't had such a decent haircut in years!!!! I was delighted. Lindsey is funny and perky and did a great job on my haircut. It was a quick and beautiful drive from Santa Rosa and afterwards I took a walk on the beach. Lindsey is new to the area. If you are looking for great atmosphere and a very thorough haircut check her out. read more

Add Lindsey at Mudd and Gold to Bodega's Best Kept Secrets List (ranking right up there with dinner at Casino!). She splits her time between doing cuts in SF and in our sweet little inland town of Bodega, but she's a resident of Sonoma. I have wavy, thick hair and am very picky with hair stylists, as I've been spoiled with my last Berkeley-based stylist (who charged twice as much). But I'm a teacher now, so I can't afford the high prices. You get a ninety-buck cut with Lindsey for $40 or less (depending on if you get it blown out). And if you need to get a card or gift for someone, you can take care of that in her shop, too. She has a real knack for choosing artisan-quality goods for those with a discerning eye for function, quality and artistry. read more
