My brows and my skin are All the ladies at the salon are so friendly and welcoming! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Betsey is pretty much the cutest thing ever, what a sweet and seriously talented woman. I live in Austin but was in Sonoma County for a wedding, and was able to get in with Betsey to do my hair. I had a photo of what I wanted, and she was spot on! The wedding was out on the Russian River and I was wearing a romper, so we did a very boho-style braid and left the rest of my hair down. My curls lasted all day and the braid was absolute perfection - in fact it stayed put until I finally had to take it out a few days later to shower (seriously wish this girl was in ATX!). Definitely recommend her for all your hair needs! The Beauty Spot also has the cutest decor, even the straws they use for their glasswear are adorable! I love the attention to detail. I wish I had known that they do makeup, next time I need to go up to Northern Cali for an event I am definitely coming back!! Thank you! read more

See all

You won't find a better salon then The Beauty Spot! I've been going here for 4 years now and I love this salon and these girls! Betsey...Veronica...Ashley...you girls are amazing! Thank you!! read more

The girls at this salon are all very rude and made me so uncomfortable! Probably the worst salon in santa rosa i literally never write reviews but for this one i had to! They talk badly about customers right in front of other clients! I couldn't believe the things they were saying. very catty! apart from the horrible customer service, my hair is after coming here was disgusting and the girl was very rough with me! please never come here! read more

LOVE love love. Betsey is awesome, and always knows JUST what to do for/to my hair. Perfectly clean and safe during Phase 2 reopening (not that they weren't immaculate before) and I love the sustainable factor. Love supporting this small business! read more

I've been seeing Veronica since she started The Beauty Spot. I don't go regularly, in fact it had been a year since I last saw her. I'm greeted by everybody when I walk in, doesn't matter I'm there for waxing and not a haircut. Then I got a welcome hug and was whisked away into the most peaceful room with the most comfy, squishy bed. As I was filling her in on the last year of my life, she was working quickly on my brows. Before I knew it we were done. No muss, no fuss, no pain. I cannot recommend Veronica and The Beauty Spot more. Unless, of course, I went more frequently! read more

When a locally owned business provides for me with an over the top experience, I'm going to brag about that experience. If I don't get legendary over the top experience, you will never know I went there because Momma always said: "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it. If however, you have something good to say, go out and tell the world." So here is a well-deserved SHOUT OUT and THANK YOU to Lady Veronica Passalacqua at The Beauty Spot Santa Rosa for giving me the most relaxing anti-aging "gentleman's facial" ever! This was much needed and overdue. #LegendaryOverTheTopExperience Just like working on the body and consuming good nutritious clean food in an effort to stay healthy and fit, taking great care of the "mug" is a "must do" necessity, especially as we get up in the years. Gentleman, if you're looking to get a little relaxing pampering facial/massage for your handsome face, I highly recommend making an appointment with Veronica! I give Veronica's Gentleman's Facial 5 BIG STARS! read more

I felt super lucky to have been able to schedule a Saturday morning appointment the night before. It was my first time visiting this salon and immediately upon entering and everything just felt right. The overall atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I was offered tea while I waited a few minutes and filled out a short questionaire! Claire was super kind and asked me all sorts of questions about my hair concerns and goals -- things I've never been asked about before. She was great, gave me an awesome cut and style, and lord have mercy her SCALP MASSAGE IS NOTHING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. 10/10 would come back begging for a head massage and great hair. read more

I have been going since they first opened. Everyone is super nice and I leave feeling amazing! I love how healthy my hair has become. For anyone looking for help figuring out what color and haircut looks best on them! read more

Received a gift card from my husband for hair color. My stylist was Ashley. I was specific on my hair color choice and before I scheduled my appointment I made them aware of the balayage with color effect I was looking to achieve. They reassured me that it would be no problem at all. On the day of my appointment I was there for 5hrs and throughout that time , Ashley kept raving about how my hair was lifting so well, then I had to leave before I throughly looked at my hair. I went home and realized that there was blotchy areas throughout my hair. I called 2 times with no response. I was finally able to get a hold of Ashley who did not care to offer fix it. I then went in to speak to the manager who also didn't care to offer to fix the issue or refund some of my money. Their response was that I paid with a " gift card " although my tip was in CASH! It was shocking that they were NOT willing to resolve the issue when I clearly wasn't happy as a customer. Avoid coming to this place if you would like color! And do not use a gift card as they treat it like food stamps!!!! read more

I recently had my hair a make-up done for my son's wedding and was thrilled at the results! When I made the appointment Veronica called and asked me questions about what I was hoping to get out of the appointment, my likes and dislikes, and the overall look I wanted to achieve. I appreciated the personal attention prior to the appointment. On the day of the wedding, Madi did my hair, again, asking questions about what I wanted. Ashley did the same with my make-up, and she gave me tips on how to create and keep the look. The salon is clean and cozy, yet professional with lots of natural light and parking. The staff was welcoming and friendly and genuinely cared about my happiness. The results were beyond what I had hoped for and a wonderful experience. Thank you! read more

We came in town for a wedding and 3 girls decided last minute to get our hair and make up down the next day. Not only were they extremely accommodating in getting us all in, we were all extremely happy with the results!!! Betsey and Ashley were amazing!! Wish this place was in Houston!! read more

I just moved back to the Bay Area and drove 50 miles to see Betsey she is worth the drive and for you living in Sonoma County she is amazing! She listens and gives you exactly what you want while being the personable and professional. read more

Veronica did my makeup on my wedding this past weekend on 8/3/2013. When I first met her during the trial session, I was a bit nervous but Veronica immediately put me at ease with her warmth and also a glass of bubbly. ;) All I gave her was a pinterest page of what I thought looked great, and she delivered and then some. I normally put very little makeup on myself, so I was going for natural but refined, and she really did just make me look like myself, but more radiant. I can't explain it, she is a true artist and I would recommend her to anybody for any style of makeup. On the day of the wedding, she arrived with her partner on time, with her own professional lights and chairs and the ladies had such a great time getting prettied up. Oh another note, on the trial, it was a ridiculously hot day, over 95 degrees. The makeup stayed on beautifully all day and all night. At the end of my wedding day I felt sad to have to wash the makeup off, because it still basically looked flawless. Veronica you are amazing. Thank you so much for making me such a beautiful bride. If i lived closer to Santa Rosa I would see her all the time for my other beauty needs. :) read more

Veronica is not only a very talented makeup artist, but she is also a caring and generous person. She volunteers her time each year to make cancer survivors feel special, pampering them in her studio on the morning of catwalk for a cure. The way she makes us feel is truly priceless. I highly recommend her and her business. She is the best! read more

I loved getting my makeup done by Ashley!! I came in with little vision of what I wanted and Ashley was super sweet and patient with me. She talked me through it and also let me experiment with different things. I left feeling so beautiful! read more

Betsey is fantastic! She took the time to listen to my concerns with my scalp and hair and then basically made a treatment plan so that I could fix it. It totally worked! The place is beautiful and they use really good products. Totally worth the price. I highly recommend The Beauty Spot! read more

This place is horrible, over priced, not friendly at all and just a super bad experience and I'm not the only one that says this.

I went there recently to have my hair colored and it was by far one of the best hair experiences I have had at a salon. Monique did my hair and it came out amazing! I showed her pictures of what I wanted (a deep plum) and she achieved the look. She was super fun to talk to and she has a very happy personality. I wish I had taken pictures of my own to keep to show her wonderful work. I would definitely go back!! read more

Veronica is fabulous! She did my wedding makeup in August 2012 and I was so incredibly happy with her services. My makeup was flawless and exactly the way I described to her. And not only is she talented as a makeup and hair artist, she's the kind of person you want to hang out with all day! read more

I love The Beauty Spot! I am a relatively new client to the salon and love the service, the atmosphere and the people. Betsey is wonderful and I love my cut and color every time. I am going to get started with Veronica for my skin care and look forward to working with her. She is very confident and really takes her profession seriously. They have a new person on staff, Madi, super sweet. She is doing blowouts...Fantastic. I am so happy that I have found this place. read more

This was by far the best facial I've ever had in my life. Veronica is the co-owner and absolutely wonderful. She is a real professional and listens to you. The products are great! I would highly recommend this shop. read more
