John at Nova Salon is one of the best hair stylists I've experienced . Men's haircuts are mostly slam bang ; in less than 15 minutes. John is a very focused conscientious stylist. I get the best results here. I highly recommend John and NovaSalon. read more

I wasn't going to post but after MONTHS of consideration I am. The cut was awful and the color was probably the worst I have ever had. I provided the color codes/info and somehow that was ignored. My hair was orange. Told there was a cash discount, but that wasn't given. Styling was non-existent. More interested in using 2 hair dryers at the same time rather than actually styling the cut. The wash wasn't enjoyable and whatever was put in my hair left it a sticky mess. Nice guy but didn't listen or offer suggestions. $200 wasn't unreasonable but it is when the cut, color and style are all ... not good. read more

Have been seeing John for about 2 years now. My hair has never been healthier! Hair color and cut are consistent quality and enjoy each visit! read more

I had such a great experience with John. He is incredibly talented and took the time to understand what I wanted while also offering thoughtful recommendations. I especially appreciated how much he educated me on proper hair care and which products would work best for my hair type. He was also so kind and welcoming to my mom, who came with me, which meant a lot. On top of that, he didn't rush the process at all and spent extra time styling my hair so I could see the full result. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and his craft. Highly recommend! read more

Made an appointment the other day as a first time customer to get my long, damaged and highlighted hair dyed jet black. It was really easy to make an appointment and the availability was super flexible. John did an incredible job on my hair, it was better than I imagined. I was a little anxious about dying my hair since it had been so long to take a big change and hyped me up and made me feel super confident in my decision. He was also super cool and easy to talk to. The salon was super modern and clean and the prices were totally reasonable. I can't wait to come back, this is for sure my go-to salon going forward. read more

John cut my hair. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he was unable to cut my hair to the picture! How can an experienced stylist not be able to do that? Also talk about an angry man with no personality! That's John IMO! So sad! Now I'm left with a terrible haircut to boot! Argh! read more

John Falcon is a great stylist. He fixed a botched haircut from another hair salon and continues to give me a fantastic cut each time since.

Response to John: I have paid you in cash for every appointment. I have bank records showing ATM withdrawals made on the same days I had appointments with you. These withdrawals were made at the BofA near your salon. It is not my practice to pay in cash for everything. I have no reason to lie about the fees you said you would charge me for using a credit card. There's no way you can justify a 30% increase because you had to cover an extra inch of gray, and "pull through" to the ends of my hair with color you had already applied to my roots. You could not have possibly used that much extra color. You have never charged me a fee in the past for extra color, if I went longer than six weeks in between appointments. I did talk to you about those unexpected fees the times they happened. There was very little response from you. You shrugged your shoulders, and said something along the lines of, "well, that is what I need to charge you today." Regarding your fees for credit cards and Zelle, you responded that there was a cost to you for using those services. Zelle doesn't charge fees, so I don't know what cost you could possibly incur from the use of a payment app. read more

Great atmosphere cool stylist nice vibe! I am going back as a new regular client. The color was perfect the cut was fabulous. Highly recommend. read more

I had gotten a haircut I really hated at a different salon and went to John to see if he could help turn it into something I loved. We spent almost an hour chatting about what I wanted and he was really communicative. The haircut I was requesting was a bit more unique but John was up for the challenge. The vibes were great and my friend and I had a great time chatting with John the whole time! read more

Thanks for great friendly service. John was able to fit me in for a fast root touch up. He's friendly, experienced and truly did great work . Will recommend anyone give this salon a text of you need great hair services while in Sonoma. read more

I followed yelp's lead to find a hair artist in the Sonoma neighborhood. Looking for bridal hair trials close to our wedding venue, I was worried about steep cost & stepping out of a network of referrals closer to home (eastbay/SF). I looked up Salon Novo's site & was impressed by the experience that Andria had, so I booked a Bridal hair trial. She was friendly, easy going, & receptive to my dear friend/sister hanging out with us. She did an unpolished, however beautiful wedding updo in just short of 45 minutes. We collaborated prior to my appt so she knew my hair texture & ideal updo... I really appreciated the extra time she put into making sure she was in tune with what I was hoping for. She uses eco-friendly products that smell great! I would recommend if brides have the extra cash, pay a little extra for a polished updo so you get a better idea of how the updo will hold up & shine. I'm attaching a photo of my hair trial... hope it is helpful. read more

John is a talented and professional stylist - beyond amazing! The condition of my hair was dire. I hadn't received a haircut for one whole year because of CoVID shelter in place. And right before the pandemic, had went from my natural brunette to blonde. Can you imagine?? John brought back volume, texture and LIFE back to my mess of a mane. He matched the color and placed highlights perfectly too. The salon is kept clean and safe for clients. Top notch all the way! read more

God bless Monica for saving my hair. I had a horrendous dye job done at another salon and she fixed it. The pic says it all. She let me know off the bat that she has done color corrections several times in the past, or in her words: "This is my jam." LOL Best part she ended up charging me $50 less than the other salon (which refunded me, thank god!). Also, my bf had his hair cut by John and he loved it. He does scissor cuts versus clippers. read more

Whoa! Not only did I make my appointment through text message (so easy) it was really simple to find just a few mins from Mission Inn! It was perfect timing so that I could get back and finish my bathing ritual, massage and 8 course meal at Sante looking really svelte with my sexy new 'do. The salon is adorable! Bright, fresh, clean, simple but comfy enough to tell my life story to the ridiculously handsome John Falcon. What a find! He is a true precision stylist. My first compliment is on the massage while my hair was being washed...first step to world peace is a good head massage! We had already done a consult where John pretty much understood exactly what I wanted and gave me a very good feeling about my hair. And when we got back to the chair John quickly and adeptly trimmed and styled my hair. I am coming out of two bad cuts so to finally feel comfortable and excited about my hair was huge! John asked me how I styled my hair and he let me show him...in 20 years of hair cuts, never has any stylist cared how I do my hair! He then proceeded to blow out my hair in the way I do it only I looked like a super mature and as mentioned above, svelte young woman! Thank you thank you thank you. You will probably see me again read more

Teena did an excellent manicure and pedicure. I highly recommend her. Plus other clients seemed pleased also.

Unfortunately I had a very negative experience at this Salon. I cannot recommend going here. I had to go to another salon for a color correction. It's so important that a stylist listen to their client, as well as be humble enough to acknowledge a mistake made. In the photo below you can see my roots are much darker than the rest of my hair. It's a big contrast. I asked to lighten my roots and left with darker roots. read more

I went in to Salon Novo after reading all the rave reviews on Yelp. I moved to Sonoma from SF and have been driving back to the city to see my stylist since then, which can be a pain! After calling just a day in advance to Salon Novo, I was able to book an appt with John... He did an amazing job cutting my hair! He was professional and knew the right questions to ask. It seemed a bit risky to go in cold and ask someone who wasn't familiar with my hair to chop it all off to a pixie cut, but he wasn't phased. He talked me through the process, I showed him a few pictures and then he went at it! I was thrilled with the result and he even showed me lots of ways to easily style it. I'm looking forward to going back to Salon Novo! Thanks for a fresh, fun new look! read more

Just had a hair cut by Andrea, the owner and it was perfect~ I asked for a chef proof, low maintenance and yet looks nice cut~ And she created a whole new look~ I hope you all join in the fun at her all "Green" salon~ THANKS read more

I highly recommend Irina Hanson for cut and color. I have fine hair and she made it feel thick, styled and beautiful! Thank you Irina read more

Salon Novo - I love my haircut!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Sonoma, California

Dont go here unless you want to look like an old maid or a young boy . The owner John charged me 70 dollars for my hair which was short to begin with and proceeded to cut every bit of femininity from my hair . He made the front uneven and the back flat and I cant do a thing with it now til it grows some .If you look at reviews they all seem to be dated a really long time ago. I went there because its close to my place and thought because he was owner He would be experienced and good . Not the case skip this way overpriced salon worst haircut of my life . read more

I've been to hair salons from San Francisco to New York, and I've never found a stylist who's better than Andria. She's been my hair stylist for over 10 years, and I always come out of her salon looking way better than when I went in. Andria has a tremendous sense of style, and she's a very detailed and meticulous stylist. I get a hair cut from her every 3 - 4 weeks, and she gives me a complimentary "neck trim" every 3 weeks in between, which makes each hair cut last 6 - 7 weeks so it's a good value as well. read more

John cut my hair for the first time recently. I must say "I got what I asked for" . "I was totally happy with the cut I received along with the relaxing shampoo and condition" as part of the cost. Very professional, very polite, excellent service. He made sure I was happy with each step he took, before he went on. I would definitely recommend John to anyone seeking a hair cut. So nice to finally get a hair cut exactly as I requested. You might pay a little more than you normally do, but to me, it was worth every penny. Thank you John read more

I went to Salon Novo for hair and makeup for my wedding in Sonoma, CA a few weeks ago and I'm so incredibly pleased with their services. Since I don't live in the area the owner, Andria, helped me set everything up and pay in advance over the phone to simplify things for the day of. Heather did our hair and Nicole did our makeup and they traveled to the wedding venue to make it even easier for us. They are both incredibly talented and more than willing to incorporate your requests/ideas if you have them. We had so much fun getting ready the day of, I almost wish we could fly out there and do it again :) Thanks Salon Novo! read more

I just had my hair cut by Ally at Salon Novo and was very impressed with both the quality of the cut and the time she spent with me. One of the big things that can separate a local salon experience from going to a chain stylist is the personalized care they give to their clients - and I really enjoyed chatting with Ally. For a great price, I got a stylish scissors-only cut, some great tips about Sonoma, and not one but two shampoo treatments. And all of their products are organic, which is a big plus. I loved the local art and the vibe of the place. I'll be back! read more

Andria (the owner) has been coloring, cutting, and styling my hair for several years now! She meticulously cuts hair, and pays close attention to her clients personas and develops a hair style that will work and can be maintained. She understands the process and application of color very well, and again, really chooses formulas that work for people lives'. Salon Novo is a tranquil and professional new setting for Andria and John's work! The salon incorporates many green products (many which you can purchase) and processes. Andria is knowledgable about all things up and coming in the hair world, and also offers/uses organic products with her clients. Salon Novo is a comfortable, approachable salon with a knowledgable and conscientious staff! It is worth traveling to for me (from San Francisco), and checking out if you live in Sonoma! read more

Highly recommend this salon.... if you couldn't tell from the 5 stars;) John is a talented and an accompaniment stylist. This was the first time I went to see him and he knocked my haircut out of the park! I showed him what I was looking for and he tailored the style to MY hair texture. I am so happy with the result. I will return again and again and again.....as long as I'm in town;))))) read more

Was just at Salon Novo and had the pleasure of getting my wedding hair done by Sofia. I was initially nervous as one would be not only on a wedding day but as someone who had never had a hair trial with this stylist. My fears were unfounded. She was very sweet and knew exactly what I wanted and it was perfect. I highly recommend Salon Novo and Sofia. read more

Called this morning to make a wash and blow out appointment. I asked the man who answered the phone what the charge was and he told me $50. I thought this was pretty high but was desperate so agreed. Leticia the stylist actually charged me $60. When I told her I was quoted $50 she disagreed. Not very customer service oriented. She did a fine job but nothing out of the ordinary to command $60. read more

I decided to treat myself to a day at the salon while visiting family in Sonoma. I made an appointment the day of after talking to the salon owner John on social media! Sofia was brave enough to take on my thick head of hair and gave me the most amazing experience I've ever had with getting my hair done. The color is beautiful and looks better than I thought it could. Looks like now I'll be flying across the country to get my hair done! It's honestly so worth it. I can't say enough good things. Thank you thank you thank you!! -Danielle DeTeresa (your favorite customer from NJ) read more

I experienced the worst blow out at Salon Novo. My hair is not smooth- it's wavy and frizzy, I asked for curled ends and it is straight.. the stylist got water down my back and charged me more than the online quoted cost saying since she is a stylist that she charges more. I could have done a better blow out at home and saved a good chunk of money. Won't be going back. I do not recommend Salon Novo for basic blowouts. *I will also note that Saturday night after I posted this review I received an inappropriate text to my phone from the owners of Salon Novo asking me to take the review down. I get blow outs all the time and have never experienced anything like this.. 1 star. read more

Andria has been cutting my hair for the last 3 years. Prior to this, I had been traveling out of Sonoma because I didn't think I could find someone who had a sense of style and experience without having to go to the City. I was wrong! Andria is amazing and my wife who is even pickier than I am will only go to her as well. Salon Novo, is cool and contemporary, yet it has a very warm and inviting feel. There is nothing like it in Sonoma. Add to this the fact that the salon is green and they have everything going for them. We've also really appreciated she and her husband John's sense of community involvement as they recently hosted a fundraiser for a local non-profit in the community. I can't say enough good things about them. read more

Fantastic Great service Owned and operated by very talented professionals Convenient location I will definitely be coming back read more

I have "new salon/stylist phobia" and haven't cut my hair in a year and haven't put color in it in over 6-8? I decided it was time for a much needed change and upgrade to my hair as I only wear it in a tightly wound bun. I booked with salon novo because of their availability and great feedback and reviews. I was not disappointed! Mimi is amazing and I showed her the look I was going for and she duplicated it to a T! We decided on lighter color but the cut and color combined has left me feeling great and many compliments from everyone! Thank you!! Great experience and I will be back! read more

Well, after a year and a half search, I finally have a new hairdresser. John transformed me from a hot frizzy mess to someone who gets stopped and asked, "where did you get your hair done?" He worked with my hair as it is, not as I wanted it to be, so I don't look like Brandi Carlile, as requested. I look like me with a really awesome, finely tuned haircut. This salon is chic, friendly and green. Win! read more

Working with Andria from beginning to end was such a pleasure. I found this place on Yelp for my bridal hair for my bridesmaids and me. And let me just say that Yelp did not steer me wrong. Andria was able to capture the image I was looking for with no problem. She truly made my look come together. Every one of my bridesmaids was very pleased with their hair as well. They all looked so beautiful and that was all thanks to the staff at Salon Novo. They also made sure that my bridesmaids did not have a similar style to mine and I was very appreciative of that. They all had very different styles that reflected their personality. So even though they all had the same dress their hair was very different. Thank you Andria and Salon Novo for making my day that much more special. read more
