5 /5 J Bink: If you weighed all my fine, thinning hair, it might make an ounce. But Jesse and Max at Petaluma Hair Company managed to make it look thick, casual, younger. Their sublime scissor skills, the high quality of the product on PHCs shelves (R&Co), and their coaching on how to use them (sparingly-- theyre not cheap but they fight above their weight) perform the magic. I feel better when I look in the mirror than I used to.
Owner Jesy--whose husband Roman designed the salons logo, greenery-themed decor, and built the visually warm and woody work stations--is welcoming, smart, interesting and fun to talk to, very good at her job. I bounce back and forth between her and the equally gifted and brightly friendly Max, because theyre both so nice to talk with.
The front desk staff is adorable: two friends, Marissa and Maddie, both on-it and professional yet super-likable. They happily complete a beautiful picture.
