The Fox Hair Salon & Waxing Studio - Santa Rosa (CA)

5 /5 Debbie Van Dyke: Ive been getting my haircut with Elyse for several years. She is fantastic! Not only does she love her work, she stays in touch with her customers. And Elyse and Brenna certainly make me feel welcome every time I come in :-) The salon is very elegant in a funky way, which I love. I would definitely recommend you come in - I love these gals.

5 /5 Camille Y: I’m so happy to have had Elyse and Brenna do the hair and makeup for my wedding. They did a phenomenal job on me and both my mother & sister. From the trial run appointments, to my actual wedding day, they were perceptive to what I wanted done for my wedding look—and girl let me tell you, I got exactly what I asked for. The Hollywood curls on me and braids for my sister were done so beautifully by Elyse. The glam look Brenna did made me look like I had a walking filter on. It made me love the way I looked in my photos. It’s really cheesy to say, but my husband said he got teary eyed when we had our first look. He kept telling me how beautiful I was throughout our wedding day :) I was also very impressed how they handled my mom. I gave them a heads up that she’s very picky and will probably push back on their ideas for her. But they were great with her and talked her through what look would work best for her. She was really happy with their work and how she looked, which is saying a lot because she is a very hard person to please. For any brides looking for a hair & makeup duo, you’re in safe hands with Elyse and Brenna!

5 /5 Punk Punkster: My stylist of 15 years moved, and I decided to go gray and grew my hair for 3 years. It was below my waist, and I was ready for a change. With the help of the internet, I reviewed MANY bios and decided to try Elyse. We spoke on the phone, and I got a reassuring and no pressure vibe from her. At our first appointment she could sense my reluctance at cutting too much at one time. I relayed what I wanted and how I will spend only a limited amount of time on styling my hair, so please keep this in mind. She offered suggestions and said it would probably be best for me to reduce the length over multiple sessions. I agreed. During the first cut she took off a few inches and gave me some shaping and said “go home and live with it.” I was happy and confident in her ability. I returned about two months later and said, “let’s take off a bit more and do more shaping.” On my third visit I asked for “more, more, more plus shaping.” All along I got the feeling Elyse knew this would be my response, but she never pushed me to do more than I was comfortable with in a session. I am now more open to experimentation and more styling because I know when I walk out of the salon my hair looks great and I feel good. She has a calming demeanor, and the salon echoes this trait as it is very clean with a tranquil décor. I highly recommend Elyse for her skill, but even more for being a good listener and creating an enjoyable experience each time I visit.

5 /5 Shannon Doyle: I love this salon so much. Alleyna always does an incredible job, and her main priority is always her clients, which is hard to find. Every time I come in, I know exactly what to expect, and feel comfortable and welcomed. She never lets you leave the salon without making sure that you love your new look. The best stylist I’ve ever had! I truly can’t recommend her enough.

4 /5 Rebecca Woodruff: I hired them for my whole wedding party. We really enjoyed working with these gals day of. The makeup style was over the top glam, which wasn’t exactly what I was going for… so I recommend being very insistent on showing your inspo photos if you cannot afford to do a trial with them (same price as the real deal!). If that’s your style you’ll be pleased as punch. Just beware the lip liner outside your lips. That was one thing I had to remove before the ceremony. The hair was really fun and eclectic, which is what I wanted. I had one bridesmaid who said hers fell out immediately after and she had another friend fix it, but other than that we were all very happy. Elise also worked with my natural curl, which I loved. I got to air dry and be essentially frizz-free! Last note of advise is to pay attention to your order. They did not do crowd control so I ended up going last as the bride and felt it was very rushed!
