First, I scheduled an appointment with Whitney Henderson, senior hair stylist, but when I arrived on May 29, 2026, Aliena Aguilar greeted me as my stylist. Of course, I thought she was Whitney. This is a bait and switch tactic that truly infuriates me. I needed someone really experienced. The haircut I received is the single worst haircut I have had in decades. I can do nothing with my hair, and I am headed to Mill Valley today, 3 weeks later, for another senior hair stylist appointment to fix Aliena's sub-par work. The blow dry I received also is in the running for the worst ever received. I went straight home after the appointment rather than do my errands bc I looked so terrible and my hair was still damp. Aliena is a nice person, but I am really upset that I did not get what I ordered, and on top of that, was deceived about the level of service I received. read more

Brenna is a true master of her craft! I came in for a haircut and mustache trim, and she absolutely nailed the execution. During our consult, she looked at my reference photos but went a step further--explaining what would actually work best for my specific face shape and frame. She even set me up with a solid maintenance schedule and great styling tips to keep the look fresh. It's rare to find someone who treats a mustache trim with as much precision and care as the haircut itself. I'll definitely be a returning customer! To top it off, The Moon Room is a fantastic establishment--well-curated, professional, and filled with beautiful plants. Highly recommend seeing Brenna. read more

Ali and Whitney did the most amazing job with our wedding hair and makeup. They really listened to us in the trial and delivered on wedding day. Thank you Ali and Whitney and Moon Room! read more

Love love love this salon. It's cute, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and the people that work here are awesome. I've gotten my hair done by Aliena several times for cut, color (full highlights) and extensions. She did an amazing job color correcting my hair and helped my vision come to life Not only does she do amazing hair but she's also an incredible human-being with good energy and is fun to talk to which significantly helps when you're getting your hair done for hours! 10/10 recommend read more

I was looking for someone to do highlights on my natural, curly dark hair. Aliena was recommended by a friend. During my appointment on 6/11/25 we discussed full verses partial highlights. She didn't really have a strong opinion so I decided to go with a full. I showed her a picture for color inspiration and together we looked through the color book to match the color. She mentioned balayage in which I responded that I'd never do that as I don't like the grown out look on me. Aliena started highlighting my hair from the bottom working her way up. When she was got to the top area I noticed that she was not applying the product near my roots, was at least 2 inches out, so I mentioned. She opened a few paper or foils (not sure which) and applied additional product. I realized at that moment that my highlights were not going to start at the place I wanted and that I was going to have the grown out look that I didn't want. See photo. I tried to focus on the big picture of being excited in getting highlights after going so many years without. Aliena thoughtfully checked up on me a week later while I was on vacation. I responded that there was a part in the back that needed to be darkened. Days later I texted telling her that it was fine and sent a face photo in which the front side highlights were nice. I thought if I tossed my hair one way or scrunched my curls a certain way l I'd be okay with the heavily thick colored bold copper strands in the back. See photo. 6/26/25. 2 weeks after color, I went to get a haircut from my curly hair specialist stylist. This is when I really came to the realization at how bad of a job was done with inconsistent highlights in size and color and learned that I didn't get the full that I asked and paid for. Refer to photo of interior hair which was mostly untouched. I messaged Aliena following my appointment expressing my concerns. I let her know that I wasn't criticizing her work but that I needed to go to someone who specializes in curly hair to have them correct / redo and was hoping that we could come to a mutual financial agreement on what I paid (thinking partial refund) as I am understanding that she spent her time and I of course am having to now spend more time and money to have corrected / re-done. I thought my request was more than reasonable. Again, see photos. Aliena responded that I got a full balayage foil which was very confusing as I never asked for or wanted a balayage. She said my toner was probably washing out as I wet my hair every day. I got highlights for 20 straight years when younger and never had this issue with any other stylists' work. She said she tried to relay that it may take a couple of sessions to get the color that I wanted .... that was simply never said to me. I've never had to go back a second time to obtain my chosen color in the 20 years of getting highlights. Aliena offered to adjust things for me at no cost. I'm not comfortable going back to her with the multitude of mistakes, her lack of accountability and her inability to follow instruction and give me a full highlight from my roots that I paid for. I feel like an experiment gone wrong. It's disappointing to be out $300 (which includes my 20% tip) but even more disappointing that Aliena wasn't interested or willing to give me even a partial refund for this poor job done on my hair that I'm having to go elsewhere to correct. read more

My wedding was in October 2023, and I chose Aliena to do my hair and makeup for the day. I had been following her on socials for a while and thought this was the perfect opportunity to go ahead and book an appointment. I hadn't bad my hair professionally done since before 2020, and I had also been growing out my hair from a pixie cut (at about shoulder length around the wedding). The process was super easy, and Ali was really fun to work with. Created Pinterest and ainstagram boards for inspiration and shared them with her before the makeup and hair trials. I already had planned on getting extensions so we mapped out a schedule and booked multiple appointments so that I had may hair cut bleached and toned and my makeup trial and then had my extensions installed and my hair trial a different day. Then, I planned to meet at the wedding venue the day of. I was super nervous about what to expect, but Ali really put me at ease. She always checked to see if I liked the direction things were going and was really open to feedback. I'm not a regular lash wearer, but I wanted to wear a set for the wedding day during the trial she brought multiple sets and tried them out to see which would stay best. I'm not a big cryer, but I'm sensitive to temperature changes and wear contact lenses, so my eyes water super easily. She went out of her way to find the best fit. She's super easy to talk to and has endless creative ideas. (Not pictured), but she also did my mom's hair and makeup for the wedding, and it came out wonderful! The salon itself is really laid back and welcoming it's bright but soft. The seats are really comfy and the decorations are beautiful and the ceiling is really high, like cathedral ceiling high. There was tea, coffee, or water offered, which was welcoming, and the vibes between the stylists are all really chill. Everyone was so so impressed with how my hair and makeup turned out. Working with Aliena was one of my favorite parts of planning the entire wedding. read more

I cannot recommend Aliena enough! She is an absolute gem! From the moment I met her shes been warm and attentive. I knew I was in good hands when we had our pre-appointment consult. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. The result was a flawless haircut and money piece that complimented my face shape. I kept coming back to her for trims and touch ups and had a huge project for her earlier this year when I decided that I wanted to go from long brown hair to short teal hair. The results were phenomenal! Her lightening and coloring expertise are truly remarkable. The highlights she added to my hair were blended seamlessly and the color matched my inspiration photos exactly. She gave me hair tips and a little dye to keep my hair looking refreshed between visits. It's clear she genuinely cares about her clients' satisfaction and long-term hair health. If you're in search of a talented, attentive, and all-around amazing stylist, look no further than Aliena. She's a true hair artist and I can't wait for my next appointment with her! read more

I enjoy visiting The Moon Room for quality service and the positive & calming vibe. Brenna C expertly cuts my hair. She always ensures I am in the know with the cut and that I'm comfortable throughout my visit. I prefer to visit during quieter periods, and Brenna is very accommodating. 10/10 read more

I have very short eyelashes. Wearing mascara makes only a slight difference. I will be MOB in October at my daughter's wedding. I've tried wearing false eyelashes, sometimes they look ok and sometimes they're somewhat lopsided I didn't want to stress out on the day of the wedding trying to work with putting on false lashes, so I thought I'd give extensions a try. I scheduled my appointment with Desiree ( who happens to be my hair stylist also). She knows I like a natural look, and after our first session she did a phenomenal job. I think the images speak for themselves. read more

Whitney also did a fantastic job with my hair for my wedding party - together they made us all feel gorgeous in front of the camera. read more

Go see Michelle at the Moon Room! I'm a working mama who only gets her hair cut every 1-2 years, doesn't do products or a hair dryer, and needs something I can chuck into a pony for a run or cute up within ten minutes for a night out. Michelle delivered big time. I came to kick off my birthday weekend with a rare splurge on some self-care, and I couldn't have been happier that I treated myself to this cut and color by Michelle! She listened to my needs and delivered a beautiful end result that is eminently manageable while still looking amazing. She took her time, making sure the color looked just right, and returning again and again to perfect the cut. It was a long appointment -- my hair is stubborn about color and takes a lifetime to brush and dry -- but I never felt rushed in the least. Michelle made sure to get every detail down to a tee. I went in today with a heavy block of waist-length, extremely thick hair. I asked for the miracle of a cut that still looked long and full, but moved and felt like it was half the weight. I wanted color that gave me fun and dimension but I wouldn't have to touch again for a year or two. And without breaking a sweat, Michelle did it all and more. read more

This review is for my favorite hairstylist, Michelle Dubois. I move around quite a bit, so it's hard when I leave and have to find a salon all over again. I love to keep my hair in a long bob length, and Michelle does a wonderful job getting the ends just right. All these years my hair does a little flip outward after a cut, but not after Michelle cuts it. It sits beautifully above my shoulder. She's easy to talk to and the two appointments I've had, she makes the time go by with great conversation. She has an eye for detail, I highly recommend Michelle. read more

April is the best - I've been seeing her for almost 5 years and my hair is the best it's ever looked. She does a blonde foilyage treatment on me which allows my hair to grow out a bit more between visits. She's also a really fun person and I enjoy our chats so much. read more

Took my daughter to get her hair cut and colored. The products the moon room use are quality products to help maintain the color of my daughter's hair. Mitch has been the one who takes care of my daughter for her appointment. She does an amazing job and takes the time to explain to my daughter how to take care of her hair for the color to last longer. The vibe of the moon room is very comfortable, friendly, inviting. The woman in there are always having a good time. Absolutely great atmosphere and experience every time I bring my daughter to see Mitch. We will definitely be back soon read more

This salon is the cutest. I adore it. And April is so awesome! She is my favorite and is a true talent, I am grateful to have found her several years ago- and I haven't stopped coming back. I always love my color and cut and get tons of compliments. Thanks April and The Moon Room. read more

The overall vibes of The Moon Room in Petaluma are IMMACULATE. My hair gal is Brenna, who I was recommended from a friend who also receives services at The Moon Room. Brenna not only provides QUALITY work but is just an overall joy to be around. She truly wants you to leave her chair satisfied and happy with the services she is providing. She will give you a thorough consultation and speaks to you about what she's is doing every step of the way.

I stumbled across this beautiful gem because my original hair stylist went on maternity leave. As much as I loved her, my experience at The Moon Room has been exceptional. What sold me was the clean beauty approach and wholesome people who work there. They are organic and sustainable! I have learned so much about how much usually goes into landfills in this business, but not here!! They are making a tremendous effort to reduce their carbon footprint and I AM HERE FOR IT. Don't get me wrong, I'm no granola crunchy mama, but I can definitely get behind small business that are at least making an effort and kickin ass at it! 10/10 would recommended checking this place out for any of their services and/or changing up your clean beauty routine! They have a wealth of information and kindness to give. read more

Wow, Aliena Aguilar is amazing. She did makeup for me and my family for my wedding, and I am so so grateful for her skills and kindness. She was easy to work with throughout the entire process- from talking about logistics, to the trial, to the actual day. I was nervous about make-up in general because I don't wear a ton, and she was super sensitive and considerate. At the same time, she was also very talented with family members who wanted more extensive styling. Most importantly, she was such a joy to be with during my wedding experience. I felt comfortable and happy to be with Aliena throughout the entire process. Would recommend to anyone, a 10/10! Also, we worked with Whitney during my wedding. She did blow-outs for other family members and some friends. They LOVED her and the hair looked amazing. She was also super kind and easy to work with. She was timely, reliable, and talented. Would definitely recommend Whitney as well. read more

April has been doing my families hair (myself, husband and toddler) for the last 3 years. We moved back to the West Coast from New York in 2019 and had such a hard time finding a stylist that we loved and trusted until we found April! She is one of the most talented stylist ever and so patient with my little family whenever we visit. My hair is long and curly/wavy and she does such a fantastic job on the cut and color. You know you've got a good cut based on the way it grows out and I can honestly say that every time I leave the salon, it gets better and better. My friends and family rave about how good it looks. We love April and cannot recommend her enough!! read more
