I can't speak directly to the quality of The Pine's hair styling abilities, as my own interactions have been entirely about customer service... but in that respect I have been thoroughly impressed with both their stylists & support personnel. And the only reason for this is because loved ones absolutely LOVE the treatment they get at The Pine, and in turn recommend it highly. read more

First time going to The Pine and I am SO pleased! Mila was the only one who could fit me in before a girls trip and she was wonderful. She was thorough at figuring out what I wanted and executed it perfectly. What a lovely salon, pricey but worth it! read more

The Pine - Hair Salons Near Me - Petaluma, California

I hate to have to say this but I think this salon has turned into a mean girls club, while trying to be exclusive, they have lost sight of good customer service. I've been loyal and supported my stylist for years. I can't go into specifics without getting personal. I'm trying to give honest feedback in the hopes that they perhaps re-evaluate how they value their repeat customers. I get it, they have people flowing through the doors and it may not matter. I just can't move forward without the opportunity to share my view. Change of stylist has made it crystal clear that this place is not worth the cost or being treated as expendable. My new girl goes as far as to create custom 'color bombs' to reapply to alternative hair colors so they keep longer. So much different than being told to get something on amazon. read more

The Pine - Amazing purple ombré with smoky purple added in for natural texture and dimension. By Ashley C - Hair Salons Near Me - Petaluma, California

I'm OBSESSED with this place. Everyone is so kind and helpful and the stylist's are next level. I love the clean minimalism of the interior design, too. I had the honor of seeing Barb and she gave me the cut and color of a lifetime. I will making the trip from SF to the 'Luma to see any of these talented women in the future. read more

The Pine - It was dark when I got outta there so please excuse this next day, slept-in version. STILL GOOD THOUGH, DAMN. - Hair Salons Near Me - Petaluma, California

I reached out to The Pine before I booked my appointment to let them know that I was eager for a cut but that I was apprehensive about someone handling my postpartum hair/hair loss. They booked me with Stephanie and she was so careful and thoughtful with every step from the wash to the styling, making sure not to pull my hair too much. For those of you who have gone through a rough postpartum hair journey know how key this level of care is, and I am so grateful for Stephanie for that. Thank you! read more

I saw Darcy for a full balayage and a long later cut to protect me growing my hair longer for a sunkissed beachy look. She really cared and listened to what I wanted. I have curly wavy hair that is very fine, that I put maybe 10 min into styling. I wash twice a week. Great hair care line. I love my hair. read more

The Pine - Hair Salons Near Me - Petaluma, California

Loved it the second I walked in! Very friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Very professional and friendly. Always see someone cleaning up their stations and engaging with the clients or each other guest ... never made to feel uncomfortable about anything ... didn't push services I didn't need or products I didn't already want or ask for. I found this place because ONE of stylists that I use for my hair recently moved to this cute little spot that was completely busy and it was good to see and fun to watch... and I will follow Kayla where ever that beautiful friendly talented young lady goes. Very happy with Kayla and her move to The Pine. It doesn't matter straight... curls.... hat... up... I get compliments all the time. And my fiancé just loves it too! So win win win for me! Thank you! read more

This review is so long overdue, but my appointment today finally motivated me to write this. I've been going to Shauna for a few years (we can't remember exactly how long it's been lol) and with each cut she just makes me feel more like myself. The environment at the salon is also something that keeps me coming back. Everyone is so friendly, it's like getting your haircut by your girlfriend who just happens to create magic with her hands. This was obviously my first haircut post covid and Shauna couldn't have possibly made me feel more safe and at ease. She was meticulous with safety standards, as was everyone else in the salon, and went to great lengths to ensure every surface was sterilized. She also did an AMAZING job with my cut & balayage, as always. Side note for any customers reading this, these women are quite literally risking their lives to give us an ounce of normal. Please consider tipping them accordingly, 20% should not be the standard during a global pandemic. Thank you ladies for all that you do! read more

Stephanie did a full balyage and cut on me and it came out gorgeous!! I'm basically a blonde now and look totally refreshed but it looks natural at the same time. You can just tell she really knows what she's doing. Go see her!!!!! read more

After seeing the results on a few friends from Kayla I knew I had to make this my Christmas present to myself. Kayla does natural beaded rows extensions and books out a month or so, so I had to wait a while for my appointment but it was so worth the wait! My hair is completely transformed. After having pretty damaged hair from over-processing and over heat-styling, plus losing hair after pregnancy, it was looking grim. Kayla's expertise in color restores my hair to my natural color only with more oomph and shine and dimension. The extensions were custom colored to match perfectly and I ended up with full, long, gorgeous hair in one afternoon. I felt pampered the moment I walked into the salon with being offered water and bubbles or tea or coffee or whatever. Kayla listened to my every need and nailed my dream hair. I'm a client for life!!! read more

The Pine - Before and after - Hair Salons Near Me - Petaluma, California

We LOVE BARB! My hair really needed some love while we shelter-in-place, and although their doors are closed, Barb still came to the rescue online. She recommended all the products I needed and how to use them at home--all of which arrived at my door in a couple days. Can't wait for a much-needed trim once they open. read more

The cutest salon with the best stylists! Barb is the bomb and she really cares about her clients. It's a must go to salon!

It really is as good as it gets! I've been getting my hair done by the owner Barbara for about 10 years now and not once have I ever been dissapointed with my hair (I've been blonde, brown, red, short, extensions.. you name it shes done it). Each year has just gotten better and with her opening up her new beautiful salon her talent has only gone up! The salon itself is the kind of salon you want to go to but generally unless you live in the SF or NY you cant, but she brought a slice of the good life to Petaluma! With a beautiful and warm staff and amazing products this is the kind of place that makes you itch with excitement till the next time you can get your hair done. read more

I was at The Pine last week for a much needed cut. My sister recommended me to Barb and I'm so glad I took her advice. Barb was super attentive to what I wanted, and I can admit that I'm not the best at describing the look I was hoping for. She gave me insight along the way, making sure I was happy with the direction she was going. I absolutely loved the end result. The salon is beautiful. It was pretty busy considering they've just opened and it was the middle of the week. I definitely plan on coming back and having Barb add some color. Everyone at the salon was really friendly and welcoming. See y'all soon! read more

I wish 20 stars were an option. I know two things about The Pine- I always have the best time, and I always leave with gorgeous hair. From the moment I walk in I am greeted with smiles, hugs, and bubbly water. What more could one want? A fantastic shampoo massage? Yep, there's that too. The best part, not only do I leave with great hair, the color and cut keep me going for a good 6 months until Missy calls to remind me to come in again. Couldn't love Barb and this place more!! read more

Superb service thanks to Barb, great space and friendly staff. I used to get my hair done with Barb in San Francisco, but since she's moved up north of the city I've decided to make the trip to her new location at The Pine and couldn't be happier. Ample parking in front to boot. You may want to schedule well in advance if possible. read more

I've jumped around hair salons for the past 10 years, and I can definitely say I'll be staying here for a loooong time. The receptionist is friendly, offering beverages when you first enter and check in. The stylists are also very welcoming, even if you aren't their client. They sell top of the line products at a reasonable price and explain exactly how it works and how little you need to use them so they last a long time. They offer a private parking lot, a huge plus, and it's an easy place to find when driving either direction. read more

You want to know the best and most talented hair salon in town is? The Pine. Sara Bruce delivers me amazing hair,hair color is exactly what I ask for every dang time along with amazing products that she knows will work well with my hair type. The buzz is real and this salon is the new hangout spot for everyone who cares about their hair needs read more

Wonderful salon, great decor, perfect staff all around, select parking and the best stylist around. Just had Barb do my 'do today and "Love it as always". She can't do me wrong. And if I couldn't get an appt. with Barb, I would trust everyone here to do just as fantastic a job. Try this place and you won't go anywhere else. read more

Had an amazing "first date" with Barb! What a wonderful hidden gem. Barb is so down to earth and has such a bubbly personality. She is fun to talk to and does an incredible job with both the cut and color! I was in dire straights not having my hair done in over 7 months with covid and she gave it just the refresh it needed! And, the salon does a great job with proper covid precautions to keep everyone safe. I'm so glad to have found an extremely talented stylist and look forward to many future "dates!" read more

I chose The Pine for my wedding hair and makeup's along with all my bridesmaids and mother. I had my trial run and was extremely pleased with everything. Ashley Allred did my hair and Sara Bruce did my makeup. I had told them that I was having a little bit of a Harry Potter themed wedding and so when I arrived on my wedding day they had decorated the salon with Harry Potter decore and champagne for all of us! It brought me to tears. They went above and beyond to make my day so special and perfect. I was extremely happy with my hair and makeup and so were all my girls! Thank you so much ladies of The Pine! read more

I have been seeing Ashley Clark for a few years now and have followed her to every salon she's been at! She's seriously a hair genius and every single time I leave I'm blown away by her talent, not only does she pay attention to detail but she takes her time and always goes above and beyond to make sure your hair is just the way you want it! I'm so happy to have found such an amazing stylist and get more compliments on my hair than ever before. Would highly recommend not only checking her out but just The Pine in general is such a cute salon with the sweetest stylists and such a friendly environment. read more

The salon is gorgeous and has a wonderful atmosphere and selection of products. And I would rather stop getting my hair cut than let anyone other than Barb touch it. read more

Love The Pine! Gorgeous balayage from the one and only Barb Thompson. Stocked up on my favorite R+Co products, too. Well worth the trip from the city. See you soon, The Pine! read more

I love this place! Beautiful decor and relaxing environment, but more importantly these ladies will give you amazing hair!!! I go to Barb who is the owner--she gives the PERFECT balayage and cut. You are getting city style and edge without the extra cost and attitude. It's clear everyone in the salon wants to work there and respects each other immensely. I say this because it really made a difference with my experience. ALSO: they carry R&Co and Oribe products which some of my favorites. Overall I have a love-fest going on with this place and you will too. read more

Ashley Clark is amazing, all the women that work there are so sweet and kind. Its a beautiful salon and they do outstanding hair!

I highly recommend the Pine and the stylings of Ashley Clark! Ashley is so knowledgeable of her craft and is exceptional at listening to my wants and translating that into a great cut. I literally can't say enough good things about the service that I receive. I also need to add that she is surrounded by a great group of people at the Pine. Everyone is so friendly and helpful when you walk in - I've always been greeted with a hello and smiles and made to feel welcome and very comfortable. Again, I highly recommend the Pine! read more

My girl Ashley Clark rules! She's just as awesome at cuts as she is with color (and she saved me from my long-time bad hairdo)... I am a loyal customer from here on out. Also, the salon is adorable and they sell Oribe -which I now know is my hair's spirit animal. read more

Ok, loads of great decor ideas in top of the amazing talent that is in this joint. I love it here. The products, the people, the vibe, the area. Enjoying a beer or coffee or champagne while I'm here makes it even more special! read more

Love. The warmest and most welcoming setting, a incredibly talented sisterhood of stylists, fashion mavens who make everyone look and feel their best. Always walk away from this place, looking and feeling like a million bucks! It's a total babe cave. read more

I travel to the Northbay several times a year from the South and every time I go, I get my hair done at The Pine. This salon is amazing. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is relaxing and the aesthetics are gorgeous. The staff are friendly, helpful and so welcoming. Watching some of the appointments leave with their new hair, I can say that this is a talent house of stylists. My appointment was with Ashley Clarke, she did a cut and color and the result was far better than I envisioned. She asked me a ton of questions about what I liked and didn't like about my hair, she explained the steps I would need to take to achieve the style and color, and showed me how to style it. I cannot adequately convey how good my hair feels and how much I love my new look. I have been to a ton of salons in the Bay Area and this by far is my favorite. GO HERE, NOW. read more

There is a longer wait to get a hair cut here then going to the DMV. I have wanted to get my hair cut from this Salon for a while now but at this point I have completely given up, there is VERY little flexibility and absolutely no care in brining on new clients. Good luck for all new clients wanting to get their hair done here. read more

This place is AMAZING! Sara Bruce does my hair and she is THEE best! she never does anything more than I ask when it comes to my hair cut but color she does such an amazing job! I wouldn't go anywhere else. Missy the receptionist is great as well, I've had to change and cancel some appointments due to school and other schedule changes and she's been great, she totally understands and works with me and I appreciate that! oh and they serve coffee (the good kind) beer, champagne and tea that's a total plus if you ask me :) read more

I loved this salon and Barb, the owner who was also my stylist. She intuitively knew how to cut my hair and I walked out feeling like myself! The R&Co products are my new favorite and I love that they are ethically made and free of the bad stuff. It was a quick drive from SF to get to Petaluma, and overall the experience was a lovely treat for me and my hair. read more

I was looking for a new salon and was really excited to try this one as I read some good reviews and I picked a girl I swear I can't remember her name but people said how great she was. I got there and was excited as the ambience was nice. They gave me champagne and made me tipsy. She was late for the appointment. I tried to tell her what was going on with my hair and basically I dont think she listened much. She didn't use foils on my blonde. She just bleached my whole head which fried my life out of my baby fine hair. I wanted her to run pink through my bangs and the bottom of my hair for an event I was going to but she was so slow and I was in there for hours and hours she did not have time. She said I could come in the next week and it would only take about a half hour to finish it. Okay she is totally across town but I had an appointment to get to and I left. I made an appointment for the only opening she had the next week which was a full seven days away. That morning I woke up sick with a bug and there was no way I could go and get color on my hair. So I called and said I didn't want to get her sick. I called the next Monday and tried to get in to get her to finish my hair. They told me she was booked for the next three weeks. I said could someone else finish it. No. Every one in the salon was booked forever. Could you put me on a waiting list? Okay. They never called. Can you believe this? This gal should have skipped her lunch or come in early to do my hair. I was getting it done for my birthday and a special event. My hair was so fried I was deep conditioning it. Trying to do anything to fix her over processing. By the way she ate lunch while I was sitting there and I don't think was paying attention to what she was doing. In the meanwhile I was looking for a new salon. And Salon Obsessions stepped in and had to do a correction on my hair it was done so badly and they did a beautiful job and I got my pink, more beautiful than anyone ever has done. Do you know The Pine still has not called me back and I have been on a waiting list for like two months? I guess they didn't want my business. yes the salon was pretty, the champagne was great, but the hair service was less than I got from low cost facilities. Also I did not go to the owner who I think most of the raves are about. They told me she was booked for months out. I can't believe there are only a few reviews on this salon and they are all positive. read more

I have been to a lot of top notch salons over the years (Yosh in the 80's, Architects and Heroes, to name a few). I must have seen dozens of Allure recommended stylists.. I've been willing to go distances for a good cut and I'm not easy to please. I started seeing Ashley Clark at The Pine and was smitten. She is good...and I mean REALLY GOOD. Prior to my first visit I thought I had gotten the best cut of my life. So I was happily surprised to learn that was incorrect after spending a few hours in Ashley's chair. My color was rich and perfect. My cut was perfection. The salon is beautiful, and the atmosphere is relaxing. There is some serious talent going on in this salon. Run, don't walk. You won't be sorry. read more

I used to have to drive down to San Francisco to get my hair done, which I am honestly very happy about because it helped me find Barb! But when she decided to open The Pine up in her home town, I couldn't have been more thrilled (I'm originally from Santa Rosa and moved back to the area, much like her). After living in New York, Nashville, other parts of the Bay Area, we are just so lucky to have a salon like this in our little hood. I've obviously been going to The Pine for a while, but the extra precautions they are taking during COVID gave me a sense of urgency for a review. They are doing it so well in such a challenging time. I feel safe while also able to forget a little bit about everything that's going on in the world and just get a much needed refresh and downtime. I'm so grateful for any bit of normalcy, especially if it makes me look and feel the way The Pine does. Love these ladies and can't recommend it enough! read more

I've seen beautiful work coming from both Ashleys and salon owner Barb for years, and couldn't wait to get in for my first appointment! First off, the place is seriously cute and comfortable- high end and classy but warm and welcoming. They have a lovely salon manager who takes excellent care of you throughout your appointment, and you literally can't pick a bad stylist there! I have seen Ashley A for years, and have worked with Barb and Ashley C, and they always produce beautiful work. Sara is the only stylist there I haven't worked with, but either she's as excellent as the other stylists or her clients are just super attractive because everyone who leaves her chair looks great. If you're looking for an exceptional salon experience and a new stylist, pick The Pine. You're bound to end up in good hands there! read more

First time at The Pine! Such a cool place. Green lighting in the bathroom which was such a fun addition. Sara did an amazing job and transformed my hair into exactly what I was describing but better! The products used smell so nice. Very nice and calming atmosphere and everyone was very friendly. I loved the selfie photo booth that I took pictures in at the end of my appointment! read more
