Best Hair Salons In Santa Cruz

“My first time here, she made me feel very welcomed and she did a great job on my haircut. I didn’t have to wait hours I was in & out with a wash cut and style. 10/10 sweet lady & an animal lover! Love it“

“Butterfly Esthetics is one of Santa Cruz's little gems! Peggy deeply cares about her work and clients, and genuinely wants to help people. She focuses on root causes of skin health and is passionate about continuing education to provide the highest quality products and services. Her attention to detail and presence is rare, making the whole experience feel genuine and luxurious. Receiving a session feels like being wrapped in a warm, loving, cocoon, calming the nervous system and I always walk out of there in a relaxed bliss state! Also the salon is so beautiful and tasteful, truly a treat! I've been under her care for over 15 years, highly recommend her services, and often get complimented on my skin, thanks to her ;)“

“Tony’s a great, experienced barber! He’s been cutting my hair for a year or two now. He is always really attentive and remembers my past hair cuts and how to cut my hair well.“

“I have searched and tried to get my hair the “perfect blonde” for years. No one has been able to get my hair bright and really blonde. Jerica is the ONLY hairdresser that gets it right every time. Her salon is clean and fun. I look forward to my hair appts with her. Highly recommend .Service: Hair coloring“

“Cut my hair really nicely. I asked for face framing and long layers. Would definitely go here again.“

“Brooke is GREAT! She really knows her stuff- Cutting, Styling, Color. She asks questions & actually listens to what you tell her, while at the same time she's pampering you. She cares about how you feel about yourself when you walk out of her salon with your now GORGEOUS hair. And I always feel terrific!
Brooke and her salon are absolutely charming, warm, & welcoming! Thank you Brooke for many happy, fun hours in your chair! - heidi calvin

Hair type: My hair is difficult. Individual strands are FINE, not coarse, but THICK, & heavy, therefore it doesn't want to hold a curl. And, in addition it is curly, wavy, AND straight....all mixed together.“

“I love this salon. Stephanie is great. I always seem to below energy by the time I get around to self-care (these days) but I don’t feel bad or pressured. The color (blond for me) wears well, even when it’s tight financially to invest. I did a Keratin treatment today and it turned out lovely. I am not as conscientious about leaving reviews as I would like but moved to share today. After living in the Bay where hair had to be calendared in advance “or else” (threat of non-service), it’s jus nice to be able to get in, have services without fuss and always a positive experience in the salon as a whole“

“Im new to Santa Cruz and needed to find someone to cut my hair. Noticed this small business, popped in and made an appointment. How lucky was I to find this hidden gem! Leticia gave me an excellent haircut in 20 minutes! Loves the professionalism, quick service, superb quality. If you want the best haircut from a small, local business owner? Book your next appointment now. Don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed.“

“Better than I expected I want to thank rock for helping me I’m definitely coming back“

“I have had Wendy cut my more on than off for nearly 30 years. Solidly for 6 to 7 years. She is fantastic at what she does and is an extremely good person to boot.“

“I’m guessing all the people here are amazing based on what I saw there the three times we have been. Jason is amazing with teen boy hair. An artist. Can do it all. There was also a perm specialist man there as well. All the stylist working were clearly very good. This place is legit.“

“I had not been set on what i wanted to do with my hair until alfa suggested a balayage which i love she did an amazing job and i defended recommend her!!! I heard about her theough other recommendations and I have to say she is a VIBE love her!!!?“

“Great cuts and wonderful conversation. I have had my hair cut several times by Geselle and every time I leave happy and confident in my new hair.“

“Priscila has been dying my hair for over a year now. When I bring a reference photo to show her, the finished product is even better than the photo. Each time, without fail, I leave so excited with the color. It doesn’t stop there, the color she creates gets better over time. Revealing new colors that are even better than my original concept. She is truly talented with hair. It’s a delight to sit in her chair.“

“I have been getting my hair done at LV extensions since 2022. Leslie and her amazing stylists (Mea Silverman, Amanda and Devon) have always provided excellent service with professionalism and flexibility. I highly recommend this salon if you are looking for a high level of professionalism and execution!!“

“Wholeheartedly recommend Rachel Marie for color, corrections, hi/lo lights, cuts and blowouts. She is a gifted stylist taking care of my hair needs for over 10 years. And we love Jasper ?“

“AMAZING SALON AND AMAZING SERVICE! Every one is SO nice here -from Debra, the owner to each and every stylist I met today. I had the honor of having Vanessa do my color and cut - I told her what I wanted and then basically left it up to her to do her magic - and she did - she worked her magic! I LOVE my hair and the prices were very affordable. I will be back :)“

“I had my roots done, hair lightened, and trimmed and flat ironed today and Rezo absolutely nailed what I was looking for! Such a great salon experience“

“Eclectic spaces like this are the type of thing that give a town it's character. The more I get to know Tara, the more immense respect I have for who she is, and what she does to create community and magic in the world. The Estrella Collective has become an indispensable hub for expression, culture & vibes. Go engage. Try a class you normally wouldn't. Get a treatment from one of these goddesses. Try a hairstyle that's past your edge. This modern group of witchy saints will hold you in the mystery.“

“I recently had a layers haircut by Dani. . I was a bit worried because I have thin hair and was not sure how the looks turns out. It looks great on me. She was warm and amicable.“
