I’m in love with sanctuary salon! My stylist, Marella is so great!! The atmosphere is quite serene. It’s such a treat for me when I go in, it’s self care done right.

Ricardo/IG:reaching.radiance was my hair stylist in 2021 in Central Coast. When I moved back to the Bay Area this year, I knew exactly who I was going back to. He never disappoints and always ensures my hair looks top tier!
To start, this salon is a joy to be in, with super cute decor and friendly staff, and is centrally located, which I love.
I can’t say enough good things about Stevie specifically - she’s not only incredibly talented with both cut and color, but she also really listens to what you want and somehow makes it even better than what you pictured. Every time I leave her chair, my hair looks and feels amazing. I also really appreciate that she takes the time to understand my style, lifestyle, and comfort level before suggesting anything.
On top of all of that, she's a genuinely sweet and kind person who is always so much fun to chat with.
