Kaitlyn at Play Hair Studio did a great job getting me all spruced up before my wedding. The hair and makeup fit the occasion perfectly and our photos turned out great. Her professional technique helped the entire look so that it all came together. She understood what I needed before I did. Even more, her demeanor was calming for an amped up bride. I appreciate her professional and well-delivered work! Thank you, Kaitlyn and Play Hair Studio! read more

Well worth the trip from Petaluma. Kaitlin was referred to us and we're happy we got the referral. It's a beautiful shop with plenty of parking. My daughter had used boxed color to dye her hair black and we were really worried that any color correcting would damage her hair more. Kaitlin took the time to explain the process and was very friendly and knowledgeable. What a great experience. read more

See all

I went in and asked for a pixie, stylist decided that a pixie wasn't feminine enough and cut my hair by my shoulders. I repeated I wanted a pixie cut and she asked her manager/owner what she should do... Owner said to give me what I wanted, I provided a picture it was a mushroom cut pixie with long bangs and a medium short back. She never used clippers just hacked at it with scissors, completely cut my bangs and left one side of my hair longer than the rest. I started crying and she went away and I still had to pay for that horrible job on my long hair. I also reached out to the owner on Instagram about what happened and she replied back about a month later with no apology or sense of empathy. read more

I was a little hesitant to get highlights due to my dry, frizzy hair. Jenn was on it, she went above and beyond my expectations. I absolutely love my new cut and highlights. Highly recommend Jenn!! read more

Play Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Napa, California

Just moved here to Sonoma County from Phoenix and was in a desperate need of a cut and color! My hair had faded and become brassy and my ends were dead. I called for a same day appointment and spoke with her owner Geri. She was so kind and was able to squeeze me in with Kelly. I have always been apprehensive when switching salons and was experiencing anxiousness but Geri seemed so welcoming which calmed me a bit. She said Kelly was a peach and that I would love her and she was so right! The salon itself is adorable and I was in love with it as soon as I walked in! I was immediately greeted by Kelly who introduced herself and we had a consultation. She and I picked out a gloss for my hair and she told me she specializes with color. She is the sweetest lady and I sincerely enjoyed talking with her, making my service go by quickly. I will definitely come to see her in Napa and am so grateful I was referred to her! Her Instagram is fomo_hair! Check her out!! :) read more

Play Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Napa, California

What an AWESOME find! I was fortunate to schedule a very last minute appointment this Saturday with Geri, the salon owner. Getting ready to head out of town for the week & realizing my grays were really bad, I called several salons who couldn't take me same day. I wasn't surprised, it was Sat at 11am, I figured that would happen. But Luck was on my side when I called Play Hair Studio, which had great reviews and was a Salon I had seen dozens of times in the Bel Aire plaza, by the old Orchard & next to World Market. Geri was super nice on the phone and she must have sensed my desperation bc while she didn't have any openings, she said she'd make it work for me and to come by in the afternoon! The place is really cute & has a great 'homey' feel, like the 'Cheers' of hair salons! Geri was super nice and made me feel at ease. She asked me what I wanted and gave me some ideas on 'punching' up my color and giving me a bit of 'pizzazz'! Trusting her immediately, I said 'Sure!' When it came time for the haircut, Geri really seemed to 'get' my hair and when I told her I wanted long bangs and 'some sexy movement', she knew exactly what to do. She really knows hair & more than that, in even the short time together, I feel like she knew me! For women, there's few things that can transform us immediately to make us feel 'whole' again. A good hairstyle & color can certainly do that. If even for just a little while, being able to look in the mirror and see yourself differently, better, is a gift that only a very talented stylist can deliver & Geri is certainly that! My hair looked amazing, which brought a huge smile to my face, which certainly brings a whole new outlook to things! I'm so glad that Geri made the time for me. She did more than just cut & color my hair! She gave me some of my confidence back! Thank you Geri! So obviously, yes! I absolutely recommend this place & I'm glad that I've finally found 'my salon'! read more

This was literally the worst experience I've had in a salon. I was in town for my engagement shoot I had coming up in a couple of days. I called to get a men's haircut and eyebrows waxed and was serviced by T***. My haircut just came out bad as if she took this up as a hobby for extra money on the side. My cut was uneven in places and since my hair is short to begin with, is not like I can get it fixed. One of my brows are messed up as it's noticeably thinner than the other. Besides that, she was rough throughout the service. I found myself flinching by the time we got to waxing my brows. She told it off by getting hot wax down the side of my face. She tried to make up for it by charging me a lesser amount than quoted noting that she did get wax all over me. However, what do you do? I'm a nice guy, so I tipped her and left. If I were her, I wouldn't have charged at all. I feel like the 5 star reviews are from people who have followed some of their other hair stylists over a longer period of time. But for visitors or first timers, get a recommendation or stay away from T***. I recommend that the business owner set some standards and look over the job of their designers from time to time to ensure equal quality in services provided. I would've never had someone working for me perform like that and charge patrons money for it, especially in Napa Valley. read more

As chic of a salon as it gets. As a transplant to Napa, I was happy to find Tori a year ago and have since followed her to 'Play'. I love her as a stylist as she does a fantastic job every time and always makes my hair look ready for a night out on the town. Would recommend this hair salon to anyone who asks! read more

I called Play Hair Studio around 5:30pm Friday evening with a haircut disaster from another salon. I was told by the owner Jeri to come in right away even though their scheduled time to close was 7pm. I worried that she would rush to get my hair fixed within that time. I was pleasantly surprised that she was very warm, took her time and I ended up with the cutest pixie precision cut I've ever had. Thanks Jeri!!! read more

Geri is my miracle worker! I am SO happy she started her own salon. Play Hair Studio is bright, classy and happy! I love when it's time to see Geri! She is such a talented colorist and always knows what's hip and hot for styling. I moved here from Scottsdale, AZ where you can find great stylists and I was worried I wouldn't find someone good here and WOW did I ever. She is top notch. Love her and her studio! read more

I really look forward to coming here. Everyone is so friendly and fun, as is the atmosphere. There is a really good energy and Geri absolutely shines! My stylist is Jenn, who has been doing my hair for 7 years, is a bonafide rock star! I, literally, sit in her chair and say "do your thing" and she does and I have never been disappointed. You can't go wrong at "Play"!!!!!! read more

Geri did an amazing job on my hair with very little direction from me. Is she in my brain? I don't know. But I left with a bounce in my step and a gorgeous new head of hair. read more

I've been coming here for the past year now and I have to say I love this place. I originally came in for light brown balayage. I showed my hairstylist (Maria) some photos and she has always done an amazing job! I recently went with a blonde/brown balayage color melt and I'm in love. I was afraid of going too light because I have an olive skin tone but she really knows how to do hair according to what suits you best. Maria you are the best!! read more

You walk in the door, up the staircase and into the most beautiful salon. It is sophisticated, playful, and bright. Prepare yourself to be amazed and amazing! The stylists are so talented you will turn heads! Get used to being complimented on your hair. The atmosphere is fun and causal and all about you. read more

Hands down you must go to Kelly! A coworker of mine has the best hair and she recommended seeing Kelly. Her hair cut changed the body and texture of my hair- now it's so much fuller and doesn't feel as flat. I love that she listens to what you want but also gives an opinion based on her experience to be realistic (like when I wanted to go bright blonde to darker brunette-- she suggested low lights to give the effect without damaging and dyeing my entire head). She stands by her work and has fair pricing. HIGHLY recommend Kelly! read more

Two words for the Mexican gal with thick coarse hair who wants to go lighter and have a decent cut... MARIA MONTENEGRO! I had paid $185 for a celebrity haircut from the owner of barrow salon in SF. After that crazy hack job, I went to Maria who was referred to me by a friend. Maria helped even out the mess that had been done by the celebrity hair stylist. She helped me with fixing my hair and had told me everything she was doing and why she was cutting here and sectioning there. I was scared and suffered PTSD from all my other disastrous hair nightmares. I have gone to her again and will be forever Maria's! So if you have thick unruly hair go to Maria! She also did my color and it didn't turn out orange (latinas tend to pull red so when they lighten their hair it's more orange than blond). Book her in advanced because she only works weekends! read more

Jenn did my hair amazing and has been the only hair stylist to actually get my hair right Asked for a cool red color and she nailed it! Most salons only do a dark red color you can barely see which fades fast and mine has been lasting greatly :) 10/10 would recommend. read more

I took my two teenage daughters to Jenn at Play Hair and she was awesome! Its sometimes hard to find a stylist for my girls that is a good fit, and Jenn's such a sweatheart. And she's a local, so she's got lots to chat about with them about Napa! Not to mention they both left with really cute cuts and highlights. We are excited to have met Jenn and will be back! Great location too with easy parking. I was able to take my girls and get some shopping done nearby while I waited. read more

I originally found Geri by researching the highest reviewed hairdressers in Napa. At the time, she was working at Studio B (check out the Yelp reviews to see all the rave reviews/references to Geri). In addition to the outstanding reviews, she had also posted many pics of her work (hair color/highlights/cuts) which gave me great confidence to jump ship with my hairdresser of 15+ years and give her a try. I did not regret it. One of the things I liked the most when I first saw Geri was that she took time to get a sense of my personality as well as what look I desired. She showed me random pictures online of different colors/cuts and asked me what my reaction was to get a sense of what I liked/disliked. It was clear that her goal was to give me exactly what I wanted. She did not disappoint. I have been going to Geri now for about a year now and I couldn't be happier with my hair and the service I receive. She is always warm, inviting and attentive to my requests. I have referred two other friends her way and they are equally satisfied - if not more. Geri is truly focused on making her clients happy. read more

I followed Trena Harris here because I would follow her anywhere, and was happy to find her in this lovely place! Walking up the indoor stairway feels like going to a secluded retreat. The cozy attic's ambient light from the huge skylight, floor to ceiling windows, sheers, dark floor and stylish coordinated furniture all contribute to the special feeling. Contributing to the feel of the place is the friendly tone set by the stylists. Best part is the top notch but low key service and professional ability of the staff. Call them, you won't be disappointed. read more

My absolute favorite!!!!!!!colour, cut, styling all 5 star treatment!!!! Gorgeous ladies with such a zest and passion for what they do!!!!!!! I love Geri!!!!!!!!its like spending time with good friends who really take of every detail!!!love it!!!!!!!!!! read more

A good friend of mine referred me to this salon. I was very excited to try a new salon and have my hair cut and colored. To my disappointed, my experience was awful. The stylist seemed more focused on tending to another client. At the end of my appointment, I was left with over processed hair, and a botched hair cut! I was hoping to leave this salon feeling beautiful with a new cut and color. I left disappointed and regretted ever making the appointment! read more

If I could give Tori more than 5 stars I would. She's AMAZING! She made me feel so comfortable and explained everything in detail. She made me feel beautiful again and made my hair look beautiful and healthy again. The entire salon is so cute and up to date! Can't wait for my coloring sessions with her. BEST haircut and style ever! read more

I really love this place. My fabulous "hair technician", Trena Harris, moved to this salon and I couldn't be happier. Great space and friendly folks! I am a total fan. If you are looking for the hair stylist of your dreams, look no further than Trena. She is amazing technically and is a pleasure to spend time with. read more

I've just recently started going to play hair studio to help me get my hair fixed from being totally ruined and let me say they are miracle workers! I was trying out some new salons and I went to someone who died my hair purple so in a panic I went to play hair studio and asked if they could fix it. After hours of crying and feeling like I'm gonna lose all my long beautiful blonde hair Trena Harris totally fixed my hair. And by this time you would think I would learn my lesson but no I went to Another salon in Napa and they messed up my hair again. So in a panic once more I asked to go to play hair studio and set my appointment and once again they fixed it and it looks gorgeous. The lady that fixed my hair the second time was named Maria. So I guess you can say it's hard to find someone who actually does what the customer wants instead of what they think would look good on you but the ladies at play hair studio did exactly what I wanted, not only having to fix the mess from before but then did my hair, cut it and told me exactly the things to use to have my hair grow back to healthy and beautiful thanks to the ladies at play hair Studio. read more

I had an appointment with Geri at the recommendation from my niece. I can't say enough good things about this salon. Geri was very knowledgeable about hair and color. I was thrilled with the final results! Geri went over and above with what was expected! Thanks, Geri! read more

I've been going to Geri for the past three+ years. I found her when she worked at Studio B, and so happy she has her studio now. The vibrant colors of Play Hair Studio totally reflect her personalty. She's great with color and curly hair. And anyone I've recommended has been really happy, too! She always listens to what I want, and makes great suggestions. My 18 year old daughter is so picky about her hair, and now that she's moving to Southern California, is already talking about making regular trips home to see Geri. Best of all, when you get an appointment with Geri, you know you're getting pampered.- Lynn read more
