Best Hair Salons In Petaluma

“I was really hesitant to pay $85 for a shampoo and blow dry because I am almost always disappointed, but Ka'lo is 100% worth it!! I have really thick, coarse, 3b/3c hair that goes to my mid-back, and I am just almost universally disappointed by every hair service I receive. I've spent $40 and $250 for cuts, blowouts, styling, etc and have never really noticed any difference in quality. Cuts are always just okay, blowouts are sufficient, but not really impressive. Everyone usually passively complains about how much hair I have and I can tell they don't really want to work on it. It comes through in the final product.

Ka'lo took me on a last minute appointment when I needed my hair washed and just didn't have the energy (it's a 3 hour process for me to wash and style it myself). He made my hair so smooth and silky without going heavy on products, and managed to do it in an hour!

I absolutely recommend him for curly girls out there wanting to get their hair tamed into a straight style without hot tools!“

“I cannot recommend Shelby at Refined Haircraft enough! I’ve honestly never left a salon feeling this confident and happy with my hair. Shelby took the time to really listen to what I wanted, gave thoughtful recommendations, and absolutely nailed the color blend on my extensions.

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also makes the entire experience feel comfortable, relaxing, and fun. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. I feel so confident with my new hair, and the color blends beautifully with such natural dimension.

The salon itself is welcoming, clean, and has such a great vibe. If you’re looking for someone in Petaluma who truly knows hair and can make you feel amazing walking out the door, Shelby is your girl. Already looking forward to my next appointment!“

“Gaby is truly amazing my kids did not like her cuts and now they love it and only like to go to her .
I love they provide ballon’s and lollipop“

“I am always very pleased with all my haircuts with Luis. He always ask what l want done because in my opinion l know my hair and my haircuts come out very pleasing. I recommend Luis highly.“

“15 years with Kat and she just keeps getting better. Front Row is her place and it shows - the energy, the talent, the whole vibe is top notch. Great staff, great atmosphere, and I never leave without a smile. Highly recommend.“

“I wanted to get back to blonde for the summer and Angie nailed it with the perfect creamy beige color. I have a ton of hair and I’m so impressed with the mix of techniques she employed to bring up my color. (Also, she’s a treat to spend the afternoon with, looking forward to my next appointment here!)“

“Excellent!! Excellent!! Best haircut I have ever had!! Lani is a first class artist. I came in with rugged hair and left with beautiful and healthy looking hair! Professional and intelligent care with an elegant outcome.“

“Chris cut my hair all through my childhood and into adulthood, and now she's cutting my daughter's hair. Lions and Tigers is a Petaluma institution, and Chris and Dina are the best. It's a fun place to go, the vibe is impeccable, and they are so good with kids. Plus, it's very affordable, which is a pleasant break from paying $20 for a kid's bang trim.“

“I found Jesy who owns Petaluma Hair Company after relocating to Petaluma. She won me over with her cutting skills, confidence and candor. She is a real pro! I highly recommend her!“

“Since I moved to the Bay I have consistently been coming to Janet. She is honest and completely listens and pays attention to detail. She also is super friendly and an artist at her craft.“

“I’m had the greatest experience with Britney and my lashes . I was terrified for years of getting my lashes done because I had a bad experience and she came highly recommended. I will not let anybody else touch my Lashes after her. I’m so grateful that I have found her services.“

“I was delighted to find Aliena at the Moon Room locations both in Petaluma and Sonoma. It is difficult to find a hair stylist who makes me feel seen and can work intuitively with my particular style, flowing with my genderqueer fluidity and giving me a look that works with my straight on top, curly on the bottom thick-ass hair.

Aside from total care and expertly cut hair, Aliena is one of the kindest people I have met and it is a pleasure to be in her chair.

I highly recommend Aliena for inclusive services and queer cuts, though I know she can do it all! Thank you for holding space at these salons in Sonoma County, your presence is heartfelt and so appreciated. ?“

“Becky is the best! We went over exactly what we wanted to accomplish with the look, had a great conversation and even better results!“

“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 I've ever had. A
very lovely experience from the moment I walked in. Thank you Eliana and Ava Ln.!“

“Abby and Alicia gave me a life changing hair cut. When i walked outside i got 4 compliments and they said i look like marlon! I will be back for every single cut!! Loved it!!“

“I'm so glad I found Hannah. I have super long fine straight hair. It should be easy to cut straight across and add some face framing pieces. It's surprising how hard it is to find someone who cuts my hair well. And when I do they charge $100 give or take. Plus I have 3 kids, so haircuts add up. Hannah's prices are really reasonable and she does a great job, quickly. She gave my 6 yr old daughter the CUTEST a-line bob. Most kids spots bobs are blunt, like a kids bob is acceptably lesser just because they are kids. Hannah's bob is just as cute as it would be on a woman.“

“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 haven't felt this good about myself in so long. I'm 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.“

“Best wax I’ve ever had with Brenna! My irritation usually lasts for 2-3 days but with hers it was gone in 24 hr. She is awesome!“

“Stop scrolling and book an appointment with Giselle immediately! The color blend is seamless! Not only is the service top-tier, but the atmosphere of the salon is so comfy and relaxing—and the music they have playing is great, too! It truly made my appointment feel like a much-needed treat.“

“Mirri is the best hair stylist and the only person I trust cutting my hair. She’s a great manager and has excellent customer service. Have been coming here for over three years and will continue to come back!“

“The staff here is always welcoming, warm, hospitable, and efficient! I live closer to Supercuts so I went there, but I arrived five minutes late for my appointment, and was yelled at by some employee after I repeatedly tried to apologize for being late. Drove to great clips and I didn’t even wait. Five minutes and I was welcomed right away and met with friendly staff at great clips versus the miserable crows at Supercuts. Even though it’s further drive to great clips, I will continue to patronize them based on their talented, friendly, engaging staff. !“

“I love this place so much!! All the women that work here are super sweet and attentive. I received the best haircut of my life from Schlee and the best color of my life from Kristy!! Thank you both!! <3“

“I just had a phenomenal cut + color with Gracie. Not only was the end result stunning - a Jane Birkin meets Daisy Edgar Jones bang situation with a blunt cut and just a *kiss* of highlights that was ACTUALLY a kiss and not a “oh hey I guess I’m blonde now” situation - but the experience was also perfect. Gracie has as incredibly soft, almost massage-like touch (vital for those with sensitive scalps) and I swear I almost fell asleep while she brushed and shampooed and rinsed. Her technique was calculated and methodical, a “system” I joked to her, and she painstakingly cut the bangs wet and dry for the perfect final flair. She’s also sweet with an easy laugh, a good sense of humor, and she complimented my hair, which doesn’t come often from stylists. This is probably the first time in years I’ve loved my hair after a salon visit. Oh and btw, the space is adorable and right downtown next to convenient parking.

Can’t recommend Gracie and Fern + Fae enough!“

“I Love how Daniela left my hair looking so beautiful !! She was so kind and sweet really did a good job I love my new hair style thank you ??“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about my hairstylist, who also happens to be one of my closest friends for over 20 years. From the very first time I sat in her chair, she has always made me feel like a million bucks. Her talent and expertise in hairstyling are truly unmatched — every cut, color, and style is always flawless and exactly what I ask for (and more).

What sets her apart is not just her incredible skills, but her ability to make every visit feel special. She knows me so well, and her friendly, warm nature always puts me at ease. It’s clear she’s deeply passionate about her craft, constantly staying up-to-date with trends and techniques to ensure I get the best.

Beyond her professionalism and creativity, she has a genuine ability to make you feel beautiful inside and out. I walk out of every appointment feeling confident, refreshed, and truly pampered. She’s more than just a hairstylist — she’s a friend who always goes above and beyond to make me look and feel my best. I honestly can’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for someone who combines skill, passion, and heart, she is the one.“
