Jenn Sullivan Wont go anywhere else for my blonde! Ive been a client of Gabbies for years and have also seen Frankie. Im a picky blonde client : ) and have always been thrilled with how my hair turns out! The salon is super relaxing, modern, and tons of parking -- worth the drive up from SF.

Clear Choice Window Washing Eduardo gave me the very best haircut ever in my life! It was smooth and easy and the privacy in his art/hair studio is superb! I will be calling him to schedule again today! Its worth going to Petaluma from anywhere to see him!

thewoodshop 11 Eduardo is a true artist and a wonderful guy, his paintings are awesome too look at while he gives you a fresh cut! If you need a haircut or just want to look around his shop at the beautiful art work its cozy atmosphere and Eduardos great personality will leave you on a high note, its a gem to have in Petaluma

Norma Jean Eduardo is a gifted hair stylist and artist. He is very friendly and has good tips that makes one look good! I also enjoyed looking at his artwork.

Tom Litchfield Eduardo is a great artist who uses his talent to cut hair. Exceeds my expectations every time. I totally trust his ideas and suggestions.

Paul Borloz Very skilled and super friendly. Our whole family has been having Eduardo take care of our hair for years (10+?).

Kc Greaney These three are the best. Sue is so good! She has been cutting my curly locks for years, making me look my best. I also see how others look when they leave, and I can tell you all three stylists are absolutely top-notch!

Sally C. Lena is the best! Been a client for over 25 years and have NEVER had a bad haircut.

Shelly Englert Monica was wonderful! She’s very professional and follows all Covid guidelines. Her space is bright and welcoming, clean and comfortable. She’s very friendly and I feel like I left with not only a great haircut, but a friend. My hair looks amazing, by the way!

Tracie M Monica has been styling my hair for over 10 years. My hair always looks great. For years I’ve been covering my gray. I recently decided to let it grow out. I was dreading that process. However, Monica helped me develop a plan of how to grow my gray out in stages where it wasn’t so shocking and uncomfortable. She’s a very skilled stylist who is easy to spend time with, I’m so grateful for her TLC.

Bridget Lee Was fortunate to snag a same day cancelled appointment with Monica. I went in for a donation hair cut so was going from long to pretty short. Monica took the time at the start to go over ideas I had and to offer suggestions. She was super nice and did a fantastic job!

Lynn K Monica has been cutting my hair for quite a few years. Her haircuts are outstanding! I recently had my first appointment with Monica in her new salon suite location in Petaluma. I loved being in her charming spa suite where I was the only person in this private space with Monica. In addition to Monica’s expertise, she is so very personable. I am so happy to have Monica as my hair stylist!

Sarahi Alvarez I have gone to Aliena Aguilar a few times now. She gave me a split dye that I wanted. I also went to her again afterwards because I wanted purple blue hair. I have very long hair so it was a project both times! Aliena walked me through all the options in order to maintain the health and length of my hair. Although she suggested many options she made sure that I was happy with the end results of my hair. Aliena is very professional and she made the long hours fun and comfortable. I’m glad I found someone who works with me in achieving something I love while also caring for my hair so that it maintains it’s health and strength! I recommend Aliena for you coloring needs and will continue to go to her for more fun projects in the future!

Kayla Kesterson I recently visited Front Row Salons permanent jewelry tech and had an amazing experience! The Olivia was super friendly and knowledgeable. The jewelry selection was beautiful, and I found the perfect piece. The process was quick and painless, and I left feeling thrilled with my new, high-quality jewelry. Highly recommend!

Ana Larson Abbie was such an amazing stylist and did exactly what I showed her! She was great conversation and made sure I knew exactly what she was doing the whole way through the process. She is so well informed and did such a great job on my hair! I know exactly who I will always be coming back to from now on! Thank you so much for my new hair that makes me feel so confident!

lauren wagner Absolutely love Frow Salon! Everyone that works here is so kind, such a great positive vibe there. Jessica has been doing my nails for a couple years now I think and she is seriously the best, love days where I get to spend time with her. Her work is incredible and she’s always so amazing when I go in with absolutely no idea what I want and leave with the cutest nails, I always get so many compliments. I have been seeing Olivia for almost a year now for all my eye brown needs! I was not someone blessed with good brows but Olivia has changed all that with her epic waxing and brow tinting skills. Her waxing room is so calming, has the best music and she is just the sweetest! I always leave our appoints feeling so good about myself!

Alessandra Curti This salon is amazing My hairstylist Kelly is the best in the world She is adorable and makes my hair exactly as l want. She has so much experience with everything about hair I would like to recommend her!!!!!!!! This beauty salon is a pretty rock star

CC Curley Could not be happier with my experience! Mila and Kristy are phenomenal at their work. Exceptional service and I was blown away with the results after my haircut, she managed to keep almost all the length but give me a ton of shape and restore so much health in my hair. Also, the vibe at the Pine is such a perfect balance between lux and down to earth, its both hip and comfortable. 10/10 I never want to get my hair cut anywhere else!

Kelly LaMarco I love Kristy’s work so much that I followed her from her previous salon to The Pine. I love the way she does my highlights & base color. The color looks natural and is the blonde color I want (and have searched for). My hair never has any strawberry blonde or reddish color and is never brassy. She also uses a magical technique that makes the highlights look pretty and natural even while they are growing out.

Alex Krisel This is, by far, the best experience I have had at a hair salon. Mila was awesome. She was mindful and present with me the whole appointment. She took her time to show me how to style my own hair at home after my hair cut. My hair turned out just as I had imagined. Feels “lived-in” so I don’t feel like I have to wait a couple of weeks for it to grow out into what I want. Thanks so much, Mila! Keep doing what you’re doing! ❤️

S P I had to start seeing a new stylist because mine left, the salon recommended Mila. I have super thin damaged hair from a previous hairdresser (not from the Pine) and Mila took the time to listen to my concerns, explain her process and ensure that my hair wouldn’t undergo much more damage than it needed to get me to the color I wanted. I also shared I wanted to grow out my hair and she said she would help me get there. I was extremely pleased by her candor and work esthetic. I scheduled an appointment two months in advance which I never do. Highly recommend Mila and The Pine Salon.

Melissa Caminiti 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 getting overcharged. Its 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 are some of my favorites. Overall I have a love-fest going on with this place and you will too.

Emily Lauran is the best! I’ve been going to her monthly for almost a year, and she consistently delivers stunning results. Her warm and friendly personality makes every visit enjoyable, and her expertise in hair color and cutting is unmatched. Lauran always listens carefully to my ideas and offers expert advice. Shes incredibly attentive to detail, ensuring every strand is perfect. Her gentle touch and caring nature make the entire experience relaxing and luxurious. Ive tried various styles and colors, and each time, Lauran has exceeded my expectations. My hair always looks healthy, vibrant, and effortlessly stylish. I can’t recommend Lauran enough!

Andrea R I first went to Lauran about half a year ago and she has cut and colored my hair three times now. I went to Lauren after reading positive reviews here. She has exceeded all of my expectations and even the best reviews that I read.! I went to her the first time because I was having a terrible experience with my previous stylist who I started to see after I moved here from another state. My previous stylist did not listen to me, care about my concerns about my hair, and was generally impatient and dismissive. All of the opposite things are true of Lauran. She is kind, caring and patient and I feel like she is listening to me with her whole being. Also, she is extremely skilled as a colorist and stylist and each time she has done my hair it keeps getting better and better and closer to the ideal that I have in my head that she can somehow actualize. I dont know how she does that but I really appreciate it. It is just such a nice feeling to feel cared about and to feel like you are in good hands that happen to be skilled and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend Lauran enough! She will make you feel like a million dollars.

J N I agree with the other client reviews about Laurans skills in bringing out the best in your hair possibilities and coloring specifically. She listens carefully, and advises professionally. Every time she has done my hair the color has been gorgeous. Ive tried lots of different things looking for the perfect color as my hair changes, and her choices have always left me looking my best!

David Smith Loved my experience with Lauran. Lauran is SO welcoming, and listened to what I wanted. Ive seen Lauran for almost a year, and she absolutely transformed my hair! She has turned my hair the best its ever looked, shes very talented! 100/10 would recommend her! She knew exactly what I needed to look my best. Lets not forget about the spa quality shampoo and conditioning treatment.

Suzette Beloberk Recently starting coming to Lauran. I was very nervous because I have long and very curly hair. In the past Ive experienced hairstylist either chop my hair or hardly cut anything off. Lauran was so welcoming and made me feel really comfortable. She listens to your concerns and is very collaborative in working with your hair. She does a wonderful job and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a hairstylist!

Karen Slembrouck Always a pleasure, very professional and always pleasant and friendly. Trisha has been taking care of my hair for 14 years and I wouldnt go to any other salon. Highly recommend Trisha and Rapunzels Salon.

Leslie Ransom As a long time client of Rapunzels, I love to be pampered and treated to a relaxing and fun salon experience. Trisha Bomar takes the time and care to keep my look fresh, beautiful and up to date.

Mrs G. Trisha/owner has been styling my hair for over 20 years. Yeah, that’s a long time, for good reason. She cuts, colors, highlights and styles my hair exactly the way I want it every single time. Have never had a bad cut, color or highlights for that matter. She’s busy so call and she i’ll keep your hair in stunning condition. Highly recommend!!!

Nikki Youngberg Trisha has been doing my hair for 28 years now and I love her! The salon and other stylists are also welcoming and friendly; prices are reasonable; outcome is always perfect. Rapunzels has a fantastic location, as well - right in charming downtown Petaluma.

Jamie Spires SO happy I found Rapunzels!! I explained to Shelly what I wanted, she did some magical stuff and my hair looks exactly how I wanted!! I HIGHLY recommend Rapunzels!!

kali sanchez Super adorable Salon in downtown Petaluma. Atmosphere was clean and bright. Had a great vibe walking in. Candice was great at helping me decide what direction to go with my hair! I took her advice and so happy I did cause it was a great cut!

P G WOWSERS, I have to admit that Jill gave me the best cut and style I have EVER received in ALL of Petaluma. I can not stop laughing at how beautiful I feel right now. I walked out of Dukes and Dolls turning heads. I havent felt this good about myself in so long. Im stunned and at a loss for words at how good it feels to be me right now. This Salon has true masters at their craft. The environment is wonderful. It actually feels like everyone is a friend to each other and extends that friendship to you. If you have been to toxic salon environments, sick of the awkward feeling of being just "okay" with a cut, come to this salon. They will have you strutting out the door. Thank you so much to Jill for the incredible cut, style, and advice. Thank you to Dukes and Dolls Salon for having elite professionals and creating a wonderful atmosphere.

Steven At Dukes and Dolls, everyone is so kind. The offer you water coffee if you are early or having a hair treatment. They make you feel right at home. Ive been coming there for about 2 years, maybe a little longer. I was really happy to find such a great place and my stylist is amazing as well as the rest of the staff there. ❤️ Would recommend going and making an appointment.

Ruby Tamariz Angelina gave me a lovely blowout for my wedding, as well as provided great updos and styles for the other ladies in my bridal party. I planned my wedding from afar, and she was easy to communicate with starting from my initial inquiry. She offered great advice on how to achieve the look I was going for and was overall a sweetheart to work with. Very reasonable prices for the trial hairstyle and on-site services the day-of. Thank you, Angelina!

Cecilia Valdovinos Angelina is the best, and amazing at what she does. I always leave so happy when she cuts my hair! She gives great recommendations when I am unsure about what I want, and makes me feel comfortable in her presence. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Amanda Lane I have been going to Ashley for almost 10 years for all my hair care needs. She always delivers and I completely trust her opinions and work. She is also very honest and will let you know if a certain color may not work or that the results you may want won’t happen with a one time service or at all. It’s clear to me that Ashley knows what she’s doing and talking about when it comes to hair and is also very efficient with time. I highly recommend her!

Ross Sigworth I contacted the shop to ask about creative hair color and they connected me with Amelia who was able to quickly help me decide on the vibrant multi types of green colors. Shop had a great vibe and was nice to spend time in it. Amelia was kind and polite, and really made me feel at ease during the entire bleaching and coloring process. She checked in with me frequently while both the bleach and color was processing and was absolute professional. Amelia did an absolutely stunning job on my hair color and I have received numerous complements on the color. I will be going back to the Amelia for any future color work and hair cuts for certain!

Isabella Welsh I got my hair cut and colored by Sabrina and she did an awesome job!!! It’s the best cut/coloring I’ve ever had! She was able to work with both of our visions and it turned out great! Very happy with the result. Also have been going to Ina for waxing for a couple years now and she also does the best job! She makes sure you still keep your natural shape but still looks nice and clean! Overall fox and the hair is my favorite beauty salon! ♥️♥️♥️

ann gors This is a lovely salon. Great location downtown. My stylist, Ashlee, does amazing work. Color is always spot on. I also love her cuts, whether is a style change or just a trim, comes out looking great. Ashlee is also super flexible and willing to work with you on setting appointments that work with a busy schedule. Highly recommend Ashlee and the Fox and the Hair!

Chelsea Cassidy Loved getting my hair done with Ashley! Loved the cut and coloring she did would 100% recommend, I will be going back to her again! Here’s some photos cause I’m obsessed!

Debora Holleman The salon has a great playroom for kids while they wait and when it is their turn, they are given a small basket full of toys to play during their hair cut. My son is very very shy, but he feels so comfortable around Dina and Chris. They talk to him, ask him about his weekend, school, favorite things and 15 minutes later my son has a perfect haircut. There is a kids’ hair salon where I live, which I’ve tried and didn’t like, so I’m happy to drive to Petaluma for my son’s hair cut. I highly recommend it! Chris and Dina, keep up the good work! You are true treasures, I feel so lucky to have access to such warm, loving and talented professionals like yourselves!

Matt Messerli, CFA We absolutely adore this place! We recently brought our daughter here for her very first haircut and she was absolutely over the moon. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the experience so much fun for her. We cannot imagine going anywhere else for our kids haircuts.

Erik Batz Chris and Dina are lovely, caring, and gentle humans! Not only do they give good cuts, they just "get" kids and know how to talk to them. We have been going to Lions & Tigers & Hair since our kids had enough hair to cut and will continue to go until our kids are all grown! Thank you for the years and years of service to our local Petaluma community. Youre the best!!

Katy Clayton We called last minute and got an appointment within the hour for my 2 girls. They did an excellent job making them feel comfortable and beautiful!! They were patient, gentle, and very professional! It was a true princess-experience for them as they just went to be styled and pampered! This place is a gem! If you have little ones, you definitely need to bring them here, at least once!!

Commontater I went to Ava Ln. yesterday for the first time and had my hair cut and styled by wonderful Eliana. I feel like I hit the jackpot. She was very friendly, caring, and listened. She understood exactly what I wanted and I got one of the best cuts Ive ever had. A very lovely experience from the moment I walked in. Thank you Eliana and Ava Ln.!

Stephanie Williams So wonderful and friendly. The space is beautiful and the stylists are so talented. Ive always been intimidated going into a salon, but Eliana was amazing and so friendly. She took the time to talk with me about my hair and what my goals were. I will be going here to see Eliana again! Thank you!

Molly Musman Grace Savelli is the very best for Keratin treatments! I have been going for years now, and only Grace can tame my mane. I highly recommend her!

Kendal We had a great experience at Ava Lane! The staff is amazing, very friendly and professional. Grace did an amazing job on my cut and color and did extensions on my daughters hair for her wedding. Couldnt have been happier with the results! Highly recommend her and this terrific salon!

Claudia Walters-McClain My hairdresser is the best, you tell what colors you want in your hair, shell tell you if it will work on your own color hair!!!

Stephanie Sabo Denise Glasser is the best stylist and colorist Ive ever been too. Definitely a great place to go. Call Denise

Kitty Doyle Wow, where to start! I have been a regular client of Denises for approximately 15 years. I was new to Petaluma. My previous, long-time, hairdresser in San Francisco moved to a "too distant location." My sister was visiting from Hawaii and came home one day with a new haircut/color. Someone had recommended that she go to see Denise at Salon Coiffe Maman. It looked GREAT! I scheduled an appointment and have been Denises client since. I always get compliments on both my cut and color. Denise is also a wonderful person. I give her the maximum number of stars!

Vivian Theiler Janet Hudson is excellent. Friendly. Knowledgeable. End result for your hair is always the best.

Jessica Boyd Denise always does a great job but we went shorter than i have gone in years and she made it a painless and fun experience! I look great!!
