The Best 15 Hair Salons in Sonora, Tuolumne (part 2)

Kim Paulden Celest is the very best there is. All the artist there are trust worthy and highly skilled and laid back. I absolutely love this place. My heart is with Celest I’ve used her for many years as well as my family and we refer a lot!

Rachael Monroe Samantha does beautiful nail work. I would highly recommend this place.

Diane Gibbs Samantha is simply the best! I have been going to her for over a year and am always happy with my nails. They last 6+weeks and she is very creative. I highly recommend her!

LaFonda Quiggins Well earlier today I was stood up by a stylist in town. I would have been a new client for her but she didnt even show up for the appointment so I scrambled looking for a place that could get. My hair done today as I have very little time before I move out of state. I called many salons and eventually I got connected with a lovely lovely lovely hairstylist named Ashley over at happy hour salon she got me in today. She worked diligently she did a great job. Im really happy with the results she was really nice and friendly and the rate was fair.

Bridget Camara I see Celeste for my hair and Fallon for my nails... they are both true artists at their work! I also love the environment! Not to mention... they are a full service salon! There is even a massage therapist!

Stone Davidson its been many years since Shannon has cut my hair, but Im here to tell you that Shannon cuts hair better than anyone has ever cut my hair. Wish she had a shop back in Texas!

Stevie Lamas Shannon was amazing! Helped us out with questions about haircuts and my sons and husbands hair came out perfect! Get the added bonus of a massage after the haircut too! We had just walked out of Deluxe Barber down the street due to some very rude and bad service, Shannon was wearing her face mask, took our temps and was super helpful and a wonderful person to chat with. This family has found their barber! Thank you Shannon for making our day better!

Isaac Swanson Shannon gave me the best haircut Ive had in several years. Plus I came in a stranger and left as a friend. If only I was in the Sonora area more frequently! A haircut this good where I live in San Francisco is $100+, so maybe I have a good reason to come back to Sonora more frequently after all!

Brian Fretz She does a great job, easy to get an appointment. She not only will cut your hair but will trim your beard. Definitely will go again and again.

Nelson Tharp I’d been on the road traveling through the Gold Country, and I wanted a haircut from a barbershop with an old time feel to it. Shannon’s was perfect, and she fit me in between her appointments. Quick, professional and personable, my experience was as I’d hoped. I’m happy to sing her praises.

thesolemnhypnotic5 My son is 10 and immediately after leaving told me to come give him full stars. Hes very happy with his cut. He was quick, very personable and funny, and my sons hair looks great. Super affordable, too.

Heidi Snyder Just wanted to say thank for the great job on my sons difficult hair and tough cowlick. He keeps saying how cool it was that you were talking with him and everyone and still were able to do such a great job. Also, not finding any issues after getting home and that is a first in a long time using other shops, thanks for your great work and skill. Will recommend to anyone who wants a light hearted few minutes a great service.

Professional Reviewer If you are looking to pop in to a barber and get a quick hair cut, nothing fancy, this is your place. Anything more than that, and go elsewhere. This place is all about volume, with the maximum time I’ve spent in the chair being maybe 5 or 6 minutes. When I leave, every hair is cut down to size, but I’m not too picky. Does it look awesome? No. I give the end result a B+ on a good day. He’s not going to take his time to make it picture perfect. He’s not a perfectionist, much less a stylist. So if you need a perfect cut for a special event, look elsewhere. But if you need to get the hair down to a manageable length, he’s your man. That said, the rapid rise in prices over the last five years is getting to be a bit much. Back when it was $8 it was great. $10 was still a good deal. Now that it’s at $12, you would expect a bit more time, when I can go down the street for $15 and get a 15-20 minutes detailed cut. Just saying...

Rick V Ive been getting my hair cut here for many years. I used to come home on leave from the Army and get my hair cut here before I went back and got a better cut than any barber near Fort Campbell. I sometimes even drive from Carson City over just for a hair cut, because a good barber is so hard to find for me.

Shelly Nancy is a super sweet lady and provided a relaxing experience for my husband and I for our anniversary. She was incredibly thoughtful and made our anniversary more memorable by providing an extra special treat with our pedicures. Pedicure lasted approximately 90 minutes and I was happy with the experience. I would definitely return when I’m in the area.

Genessa Christian First off I received 6 consecutive calls with no voicemail left. I was driving and thought how unprofessional. I finally accept a call and Im told if you hurry we can fit you in. I must have mistaken what was told to me. But I was at the salon 18 minutes later. To see someone sitting at a nail booth telling me Im too late. So SIX phonecalls and not one call to tell me dont bother coming!! Gas is $4.00 a gallon. Im a single mom. I drive a SUV. How unprofessional and inconsiderate. But what can I expect. I expect nothing less. This is why I havent trusted anyone in this county to touch my hair!! Oh how I miss living in a city with real professionals . Im also going to thank all involved in this unprofessional, inconsiderate situation. Thank you for sparing me a Bad hair cut!!!! Now I know, but should have known better "Country Girl Salon"?!?! So original and simple....

Rachelle Smith-Covey Anissa has scheduled me for waxing and she makes a point to make the first time very comfortable! She’s fantastic, the ladies there are sweet. I was suggested here by my best friend’s mom. Jodie works on her hair and it’s Fantastic and So vividly colorful. Thanks for being so accommodating! To the bitter one-star-lady, she obviously has nothing better to do than to leave poor reviews for everyone. If she wanted a quick hair cut without an appointment, go to a walk-in barber shop.

Mercedes Ross Walked in for a manicure without an appointment, Nancy graciously took me in. Not only was she the most caring, gentle she was precise. It was the perfect way to indulge this weekend!

Karen Mitchell Ive been going there for at least 8 years and just love this salon! Liz has always tried to fit me in when I call at the last minute...weve all been there, like " help me my hair is a mess"... love her!!!

Cindy Variz Was new to the area a few years ago and my husband found this salon for me. I have been very pleased with the great cut Louann performs on my head. Started bringing my dad here, he lives it too. Hes the one who gets his nails done by Linda. Awesome job ladies

Kathy Jackson Love all the gals who work here & I have fun in the back room in my boutique! Come see us!

Dave Eckermann Dropped Mom off here so she could get her hair done. She loves it!

Steffanie Reed Great salon! Kendra did my hait for my brothers wedding and I recieved so many compliments on it.

Tammy Larson I had an amazing visit to see Kris for a relaxing haircut and color. Everyone was friendly - I will be back! Thanks Kris!

Laura Nobis Kara is my stylist and colorist! I’m so happy I found her a couple of years ago as she saved and repaired my hair color along with helping me grow my hair out healthier and stronger than it’s probably ever been. Kara is a joy and pleasure to sit and talk with while she colors and styles. She’s professional while being totally down to earth and funny! Plus, she knows what she’s doing when it comes to choosing the correct color, suitable cuts and a blowout thats designed for your skin tone, facial structure and your own unique personality. Between she and her partner, Annette, they’ve created a relaxing and enjoyable salon I love to visit every 5-6 weeks! I highly recommend Kara, Annette, Level 2 Salon, and their products!

Ben Campbell Jenny is great! My girlfriend goes to her, and since Ive been growing my hair out, I decided to go to her as well. She did a great job and helped me through the process. Her results were great, affordable, and she found a spot for me very quickly.

mama megs massage Oakland, CA I have seen Kara a few times. I was needing some self-care and I felt so much better after I left her salon. She listens well and her technique is great. She is educated on her products and helpful in explaining what would be good for my hair to say healthy. She is very friendly. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their hair. Thank you Kara. I will be back soon.

Beverly Monaghan This is the only salon I trust. Jenny is very good with color and cuts. I only use Aveda products now that I have discovered them. The best for your hair and the planet. She gave a great hair cut, style and product advice for a friend I treated to a visit to help with thinning hair. Magnificent!

Heather Doyle LOVE!!! I have had my hair done by Becky for over ten years and she always nails it. I love change and edgy looks. She is always honest about what my hair can and cannot do. She helps me keep my hair healthy all while giving me the many looks I want. I can’t even say enough good stuff. Oh yeah, and Amanda. She does an amazing job on my nails. Attention to detail. She is a perfectionist and spends the extra time to make everything beautiful.

Kristen Eaton Love love having Erika do my hair!

Romey Aksland Omg! Becki is the best colorist in town! Karli does a great job on my nails!!

Lannaya Wagner They are incredibly rude! Their work is not very good and they catch attitudes when asked to do the more difficult services they offer. She couldnt cut proper layers and my hair was about a inch un even in the front. Absolutely wont be going back!

Charlene Brown My two girls got their ears pierced. It was a great experience!

No No Great barbers cant go wrong with either one. Tell them or show them a pic of the cut you want and they deliver. I even found my pomade there for cheaper than any other place in town. Very affordable!

Montana Sand Music Really nice, real people. They want to connect to you and also give you the best haircut the way you want it. They can work off photos really well! Ask for Sarah if you want a female cut. She is amazing!

Henningsen Chris “CowboyCree” My haircut was excellent, and the ladies barbers were very friendly. Im looking forward to when they start doing shaves! **Edit** Went back just a week ago (Dec 22) and got another haircut and this time was able to get a shave. WOW!! An amazing experience. Have to say, a womans touch for a wet shave is very different than what Im used to, and was very pleasant! I think I even fell asleep, it was so comfortable and felt so good. I HIGHLY recommend this shop for all your barber needs, men, women and kids!! Update 10/11/2023: been a while, and the haircut is still fabulous. There was only one barber there when I stopped by around 130, and there were a few customers, but she got through each one quickly without rushing, very professional, and she did a fantastic job with each one. Im very happy with my cut, and I look forward to coming back again!

Kris Persson They always do a great job. Very thorough and dont miss anything. Great price too. Strongly recommend them.

Tim Garcia I love coming here. Monica does such a good job with my hair. She always has interesting conversation to help pass the time. I would highly recommend.

Nat K I have always been happy with my hair cut. Now I walked in and checked in and they said it would be 10 minutes. I waited and waited because people kept coming in and said they checked in on line. Because of that they were taken first. Not good!!!

Aron Roberts I drive 45 minutes to go to this location. Always great service and execution, just be sure to check in online about 15 minutes before you arrive.

Jennifer Cesenas Got my hair cut. Checked in online. Walked in and was greeted by Rebecca. Absolutely gorgeous woman. Super sweet. Asked what I wanted, pulled me back right away. Did exactly what I asked and made sure I left gorgeous. Loved her. Def seeing her again

Michael Booth Convenient scheduling through the website. Mixed results with my haircut. Sometimes good, other times poor, like my last cut.

Bev Dock Hair stylists are the best, and a lot of fun. My hair always looks great when done.

Terry osborne I was fortunate enough to have Tami cut and color my hair. I wanted something different, something to make my hair "pop". She nailed it!

Melissa Powell I just want to cry !Been growing my hair for 6 yrs. I’am now left with not enough to try, and fix it. Terrible cut, beware the girl that says the shag is her favorite cut!

Lisa Shae Morse Courtney and Riley are amazing eyelash extension technicians. They are both so kind and welcoming, and always make sure I am comfortable. The boutique is also adorable and supplies trendy and some locally made clothing and jewelry.

Leena Wow, whoever answers the phone here is incredibly rude and had SO MUCH attitude when I asked for a certain stylist. This was going to be my first time coming in…will definitely not be going there. Learn how to talk to customers, shame on you.

Nanette Anderson Very comfortable, relaxing, and wonderful employees

Kayla Boyd The owner called me personally to apologize! She didnt respond to my review on here or send me a email. she took the time to call & explain why the shop has different business hours weekly. When I left my review I didnt take into account that covid has fuxked small business everywhere but more importantly how its effected the employees. They now have to do the job of 3 people on top of dealing with difficult customer. Im changing my review bc I didnt take into consideration that covid has effected business everywhere & the fact that the owner called me personally Just arrived at 440 to get haircuts for my daughters and surprise surprise they are closed. The tape covers the 7pm but online it also says 6pm. So sick of going places who close whenever they want!! When the time posted online or at the property says these are the hours your open from then you should be open!!

Lea-Marie Hayward It was great; my kids wanted a spur of the moment haircut, so we called Supercuts and were able to get an appointment for an hour later. Dejah did a fantastic job with my picky 8 year old, discussing his style choice with him, and really making sure he liked how it looked and felt. He is so happy. Dejah also did a wonderful job on my shy 4 year old, giving her a trim and getting rid of the last of the baby hair. We are super happy with our visit.

Chey Ree I absolutely love the staff! They are amazing and always do a good job. However, The haircuts are usually uneven and I almost never get exactly what I asked for. (Whether it be the style or the length something is always off) That being said, it is a chain salon and not a super professional setting, so I never expect top of the line service. Even with the lack of finesse, these lady still do a wonderful job! Great for a simple, quick haircut.

Pamela Knippenberg My husband waited 25 minutes to get his hair cut was assured he was next. A minute later another man came in with an appointment and your employee completely over looked my husband Jim with no apologie or explanation.

Michael Booth Inexpensive haircut. Ive been twice and was pleased both times. If I wanted to spend 3 times as much, they could spend twice the time and do a slightly better job. The web allows for appointments and they are pretty on time when you show up, which is great. Overall I like them and will come back.

danielle holody They are no longer going to carry semi permanent hair dye, only the ones that contain PPD (grey coverage) which I am extremely allergic to as well, and will kill me (leaned by mistake and landed me in the ER 3x). As a small town and a beauty supply you would think they would have this knowledge and would accommodate. HUGE bummer and now have to order via Amazon, which it takes 2 weeks to get living here.

Dena Mathias Currently Sally offers NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. Bought a hair color on the recommendation of an employee. After researching the color I found numerous reviews stating the color came out exactly opposite of what I am hoping to achieve. I called asking about an exchange and was told NO EXCHANGES. So Im now out the $$ I spent on the dye; plus now I have to buy more in the color I originally wanted but was talked out of :(

George Chaney I went to Sally in sonora on 6 /24/2020 I bought a fingernail file and I used a $20.00 bill, I dropped my $18.00 change and only 2 ppl were there and they both worked there the one with the pinkish purple hair was sweeping up right where I dropped the money. Tell her shes welcome to keep it .I wont be back. Thanks girls...

Renae Witt Thanks Kylie & Monica for excellent service and product expertise! Appreciate your help.

Alexis Tanner Nice store very clean, yet the customer service needs some work. Neither employee could say hi or even Crack a smile cashing me out. Just like stern robots. Customer service matters.

kylie mcglothern Very unprofessional environment, they offered me a job then after contract signed told me not to come in. Lol idk what kind of business does that. But I do not recommend this one

Robert Cooksey Best Salon in Sonora! Megan is amazing, wont have anyone else cut my hair again.
