After the year known as 2020, I was overdue for a cleanup! Who wasn't?! Brush The Salon is a beautiful full-service salon in downtown Healdsburg, overlooking The Plaza! It came highly recommended from a few friends with lovely locks and I felt relaxed the minute I walked in. When I went a few weeks ago, they still required masks but as of today masks are optional for vaccinated individuals. I had a cut and color with the talented Ashley, one of their senior stylists. She truly listened to and gave me what I wanted, a minimal cut and a natural, low-maintenance color! Thank you! She's worth the price tag. If you can't get in to see her, I hear that the other stylists are great too. Your locks will thank you! read more

The picture on the left was what I received the picture on the right is what I requested. Not even close! Had to go in a second time because the pins were coming out before I even left the building. Cost $180 not worth it. read more

I was looking for a Brazilian Blowout treatment. I've had them before, but my current hairstylist stopped doing them, so I was on a quest. I did quite a bit of research and finally decided on Brush due to the high ratings and Healdsburg location. After trying to contact the owners and manager of the salon and getting no response, I felt it necessary to go on Yelp and warn anyone wanting a Brazilian Blow out to NOT have it done here. I could not have been more unhappy with the service, unfortunately. These treatments are not cheap, by the way...$300+, which is worth it since typically your hair will stay smooth and frizz free for up to 3 months. Mine did not last 2 weeks - even after I had gone out and purchased all the mandatory shampoos and conditioners to keep it looking good after the treatment. Red hair can be a challenge, and I guess mine was too much for my stylist. My stylist unfortunately wasn't up to the challenge - and I am out over $350 for the service. Very poor customer service, too, that no one could return my two emails. My stylist was very nice and personable, and the salon was beautiful - but I will NEVER be returning after the service I had done, and the lack of customer service I experienced. read more

Absolute Best salon! I drove in from sf to come. Great atmosphere, super bright and fresh. This was my second time going to Nic for a cut--she didn't take too much off and really knew how to work with my hair which is thinner. Not to mention she's the cutest, kindest person and so easy to chat with. She completely made my day! Highly recommend her if you just need a trim but want it done WELL and get scared someone will take all your hair off. My face layers are perfect and I feel brand new. Brush is wonderful!!! read more

We had Haley do pinup hairstyles for a wedding and she did an amazing job --exactly like the pictures and exactly what we wanted. She did it with almost no hairspray which gave it a very natural look. On top of that the salon is beautiful and she's a super nice woman. Brush is where you want to go in Healdsburg! read more

I love Brush Salon! Bianca is my stylist and I liked her from the moment I met her. Her skills are great and she never disappoints. My color is perfect and my Cut is always what I asked for. Can't wait to go back! read more

I would highly recommend Brush Salon for your hair and makeup needs! I had them provide hair and makeup services for my wedding and they were perfection! From the consultation, to the makeup trial, to the Wedding day they were gems to work with. All of the ladies there are so warm and welcoming and make you feel so beautiful. Specifically, Hither is magic, Hailey is extremely talented, and Emma and Danielle are great communicators and so sweet. Just Hither and Hailey provided all 9 of our makeup and hair needs and nailed it. They did such an amazing job. If you're considering a team for your special day these are the women you want backing you. read more

I've been searching for a new stylist/salon for a couple of years and finally found Kendall at Brush Salon. She's easy going, friendly and understanding. I'm so happy with my haircut and overall service. The salon is located right on the plaza with amazing views (perfect for people watching). Considering the location, the prices are sooo reasonable. Many upscale salons in Marin and Sonoma change $100+ for a haircut alone. Can't wait to come back for another color/cut and refer my friends. Thank you Kendall, Emma and Brush Salon! read more

My first time at this salon. I was greeted with the offer of a drink. Everyone was very nice. My hairdresser Emma was a joy. I loved her humming during my hair cut. She has a beautiful voice. But she also has a talent for hair. I was very pleased with my haircut and the tips she gave me. It was nice not to feel rushed, the atmosphere was very zen. I think I found my hair stylist. Yeah! read more

Ayla is an incredible stylist! I've spent years trying to get the perfect blonde hair and she's a miracle worker. I've been going to her for almost 2 years now and fully trust her with my hair. She knows exactly what I want and I always leave the salon super satisfied with the results. An added plus is that the salon is the cutest and they have the best cappuccinos. If you're looking for a new stylist, schedule an appointment with Ayla! read more

Due to COVID I needed to change my wedding to Santa Rosa (from the bay area) last minute and find all new vendors 3 months before the wedding day. I got recommended Brush by a friend, and although they were on the higher end of my budget I thought it was worth it because of the great recommendation, and they were available. First of all, I think the stylists did a pretty amazing job by the end of it! I thought they took direction well and I thought I looked great in photos. Lexie did me and my bridesmaid's makeup, and I would hire her ahead in a heartbeat! She was very personable, professional, and listened to feedback but also knew when to push back and give suggestions (which I really appreciated because I am no makeup expert!). I needed to reapply my lipgloss many times, but the rest of my face lasted throughout the night! Grey did all of our hair, and while I liked the end result, it wasn't as secure as I was hoping and all our hair had to be repinned a few times throughout the night. If she did my hair again for an event I probably would be ok with it, but may look elsewhere. I also wish during the trial she had better suggestions on different ways to make the front of my updo look good. She only had one suggestion which I wasn't a fan of, and while it worked out because I found a picture of a updo front I liked and she was able to recreate it, I wish during the trial she was willing to show me more pictures and options. Also, for the ladies thinking about whether or not to do a trial.. DO IT! I'll be honest I left both my trials in tears and unsatisfied. In both trials, I showed pictures of what I liked and both times I didn't think I looked quite right. The benefit of the trial was day of the wedding I was able to give specific feedback and have pictures of what I needed to be changed. Yes, I wish we could have finalized it all during the trial, but at least it worked out. I highly suggest brides have MULTIPLE pictures of what you like and be specific. I was hoping the stylists could help give suggestions based on 1 picture but that wasn't the case. Also, I was expecting to be able to play around more during the trial, but that didn't seem to be the protocol. Finally, my biggest criticism is communication with Danielle (the owner of the salon) is less than ideal. They said they were available so I immediately put a deposit, but then it took her many weeks to find me a stylist (and she wasn't giving me updates). It probably took at least a week each time to hear back, and sometimes it was longer and I needed to send an email follow-up. She said it was difficult to find the stylists to do my wedding, but that gives me the impression she took my deposit without actually confirming if a stylist was available (Note they work with contractors for all their stylists and they aren't in-house stylists). Also, because communication was so lagged, I was hoping to do my makeup trial at least a month before, but I ended up having to do my hair trial 10 days before the wedding and makeup 3 days before the wedding!! I left the trials in tears because I wasn't happy with how I looked but because of the last-minute nature, there was no way for me to look elsewhere. Overall, I was happy with how everything turned out, just wish the process was a little less painful. Photos credits to https://www.laurenfeddersenphotography.com/ read more

I think this hair salon is a good salon, the other stylists seem great. I've been trying to find a new hairstylist and gave Kendall a try. My first haircut with her was mediocre at best, the next apt she colored my hair which turned out great, when I went back for a color and highlight she would only color my roots and wouldn't color the rest of my hair without charging me more despite booking a "color + highlight". Not sure what you have to book to get all of your hair colored but definitely didn't think it meant I was only getting my roots done. She's also not the most engaging hair stylist, I've always lived getting my hair done because I think hair stylists are fun, caring people who like to talk and get to know you. Definitely not the experience with her. read more

I found this beautiful salon while looking for a new colorist on Instagram after moving to the North Bay Area. Caitlin is amazing all around, a true artist who continually pushes herself to learn, stays up to date on all the latest techniques and really listens to what you want...and then makes it happen all while keeping my hair in the best condition. She's the stuff blonde dreams are made of! Plus she's really sweet!!! Even now that I've moved to the East Bay area, I'll gladly travel to see her. The salon itself is right in the middle of downtown Healdsburg and overlooks the park. Perfect location, gorgeous setting and amazing light. It's bright, airy and clean. I've also made sure to check out all the other artists while getting my hair done and they are all truly excellent at what they do! read more

What a great salon! Can't say enough nice things. I went here for the first time yesterday and saw Bianca to cut my hair. She was so sweet and cut my hair exactly how I wanted. If I was from this area I would be a regular! read more

I have start from the beginning of my journey with Brush and Caitlin... I came to Caitlin with extremely damaged hair about 2 years ago and my hair is finally rehabbed and healthy again (THANK YOU, CAITLIN). I have to keep my hair shorter because as it grows longer, it becomes thin at the ends. I have always wanted fuller hair but it never has really been an option for me, until now. I saw Caitlin post about Natural Beaded Row Extensions, so I did some researched and learned that this technique is better for your hair as they are sewn in using tiny beads instead of tapping or gluing. I scheduled a consultation and decided to go for it. I was nervous, because a few years ago my desire for fuller hair got the best of me and I decided to get tape in extensions that ended up being awful and I personally removed them less than 24 hours of having them put in (my customer service experience was also a nightmare). This time though, Caitlin made me feel so comfortable, and I was ready for fuller hair. When the appointment was complete and I could saw the extensions, I was amazed at how natural they looked and how full my hair was. I decided to go back few days later and have them cut even shorter because I love my shorter hair and really just wanted fullness not length...I want people to know that extensions are not used just for length. I have never loved my hair more and all of friends and family are also love it and always say "I can't even tell that you have extensions". The extensions did not make my scalp sore and only took a few days to adjust to having them in. Caitlin, thank you so incredibly much for making my hair so incredibly gorgeous and listening to exactly what I wanted. You and the Brush team are absolutely amazing! read more

The team at Brush Salon are professional, warm, and detail-oriented, and I strongly recommend their services! Wedding hair (Michelle) and makeup (Lexi) for myself and bride tribe were exceptional! These ladies were fun to be around all morning and enhanced everyone's unique beauty and best features, making us all look and feel our very best throughout the day. I also had a fun trial appointment before the big day during which we collaborated and they gave wonderful suggestions and tips. All logistics were coordinated ahead of time to reduce stress and the schedule was perfectly prepared. read more

Their website led me to try Brush as I was looking for a new salon closer to home. Great website. I was greeted warmly and offered a drink right away. Coffee arrived in a charming tea cup and saucer. Justice is not only a very special person, she is very talented. She did a really beautiful job on my cut and highlights. She listened as I was sorting out a new style, and she nailed it. Even better than I could I could have imagined. The space is light and airy with good music and a good vibe. Looking forward to going back! read more

I booked Brush to do 6 of my bridesmaids hair/makeup for my wedding. From the beginning, Danielle and Emma were super responsive and great at answering all of my questions. Our artists for the day were Natalie and Cidnee. Both of them were timely, sweet, and professional! They actually both finished early which I loved as a bride for my overall timeline. Would book them again! read more

I have had the pleasure of having two AMAZING hairstylists here. I could not recommend this place more. From Trims, to blonde highlights, to chops, they're SO GREAT! read more

There's so many wonderful things to say about this Salon but the real gem here is Kendall. I've been coming to her for my haircuts for years. Her skills are amazing and my hair always looks great! She so sweet and friendly too. The salon is gorgeous with huge floor to ceiling windows looking onto to Healdsburg Square providing tons of natural light for all the amazing plants. I love the calm and relaxed feeling I get when I walk in and I love my hair when I walk out. read more

Brush Salon has been my go to salon for 6 years now. I have gotten partial and full highlights that look great, however I have an issue with their pricing policy. When booking by phone this last time I specifically asked for a full highlight and was told it would be $210. When I went to pay it was $250., $40 more. When I asked Amanda why she said she had to use extra highlight. My head is not large, my hair is barely shoulder length and I don't have a huge amount of hair because it's thinning. This pricing hike has happened repeatedly under the new management and I detest it therefore I took one star off. I might be looking for another place next time as I think this is an unfair policy to say one price and then increase it when it's time to pay. Btw Healdsburg is a small town and word gets around fast. read more

There was a miscommunication with my appt when I came in but luckily they were able to deliver what I wanted which was balayage and cut. They didn't have me on their system but I was surprised that they were able to take me and make it work. I cannot stress how much integrity this business has. The fact that they were able to make time even though they weren't expecting me shows an overall understanding of business. Elise colored my hair, and as I'm pleased with my first attempt at slowly going from dark brown to a beige blonde balayage close to my roots, I'm happy she took her time and foiled every piece of hair. Jeanette cut and styled my hair as well and I was pleased! She did a really good job. I was extremely happy with my experience, they even threw in a complimentary olapex treatment for the miscommunication. I highly recommend olaplex to anyone that colors their hair, my hair feels extremely strong after processing. Overall, I really like the ambiance, it's a bustling salon with positive team energy. Other and most salons I've been too has bad vibes where you can tell all the girls hate one another and there's no cohesion or feeling of a team which I think is important in any thriving business. read more

I am so glad I found Brush 3 years ago, thanks to other positive yelp reviews! Caitlin has been such a joy to get to know over the years and is an absolute blonde expert!

Brush hair salon is amazing! I live about 2 1/2 hours from Healdsburg, and drive there every couple of months just to get my hair done with Caitlin! I have so much hair and have always, always had trouble finding someone who can take it on. A friend who gets extensions from Caitlin (and they look incredible! ) recommended her to me! Every time I leave there my hair is everything I want, and styled perfectly! Caitlin and her assistant Ayla do the best job! The salon itself and all the employees are always so welcoming, always making me feel comfortable and even offer drinks upon arrival! Brush salon, and Caitlin in particular are the best decisions I've ever made for my hair! read more

I was a BM for a wedding nearby, and boy, was the service here top notch. I can't really review this on my overall experience since the bride graciously picked up our (all the BMs, the mothers, and herself) tabs, so I can review against the cost. We came in here for make up and hair stylist. Overall, they kept the scheduled they promised us. We had a strict timeline for that day. Fortunately, Caitlin was my stylist. She did a fantastic job. I knew I was in great hands when I found out she was styling the bride after me. I brought in a picture for her to mimic the style I wanted, and she was very thoughtful and suggested some alternative approaches, but keeping as close to the style I wanted to ensure my hair would stay in place for 12 hours. I highly recommend Brush and Caitlin for hair stylist and make up. The make up artist, who used to work at Bare Minerals, is awesome as well. She kept my make-up very minimal and nature to accentuate my features. I loved my hair and makeup!! Thank you! read more

I have been going to Brush salon to get my hair done by Michelle for years and it is always an amazing experience. Everyone is so nice and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Michelle has been doing my hair (blonde balayage) for years and always does an AMAZING job. I live in Seattle and have yet to find a hair stylist that does as good of a job as she does so I only let her color and cut my hair. I recently came in after getting my hair done by someone in Seattle because I was very unhappy with my results and she fixed my color and brightened me up exactly how I wanted it! I was stressed out because it was 2 days before my sisters wedding and I needed my hair to look perfect. Michelle always gives me the perfect color and tone and it always looks flawless. Highly recommend Brush salon and Michelle for any hair cut or color you need! read more

I'm already looking forward to coming back here! I got a haircut and blow out with Bianca and she was fantastic!

The salon itself is gorgeous and clean and everyone was very friendly. read more

Thank you Elizabeth for transforming my hair exactly how I wanted it! Will be back in the future. read more

I live in Santa Rosa and will always make the drive here and look for parking to have my hair done here. Kelsey is my favorite part. They start with a neck massage with a choice of scent to relax you, I must say it works. The wash bowls are comfortable and they are always happy to have a cup of coffee waiting from me after the wash. The environment is clean and bright and not cluttered. My cuts are always perfect and I never feel rushed or like I'm just another appointment. I recently went on vacation and did not schedule a appointment for afterwards and I received a phone call asking if I needed to book one? I loved that, my life is busy and it's nice to feel taken care of. Busy life you all know how it goes.. work, family, friends... kids And just maybe you. After what felt like forever I stepped in to heaven Can I take your coat? Would you ( me!! ) like so coffee or teas? Yes yes and after a great shampoo,!I already felt like I new woman I was treated to a new look. I told my stylist what I saw as the new me.. Thank you Kelsey for as she said it not the new me but as improved me read more

I contracted Brush to do my wedding hair and makeup for my wedding at Madrona Manor. I had a lot of communication with both Emma and Danielle at the salon prior to my wedding, and had Kelsey as my stylist for my on-site hair and Julie as my make-up artist. If this review were based completely on the hair and make-up services that were provided to me the day of my wedding, I would be leaving a 5 star review. The stylists showed up early, did a beautiful job on everyone's hair, and were very professional. My one complaint is with my communication with Emma and Danielle. They were professional in their responses to me, but not professional in the timeliness of getting back to me regarding my reservation. One time I had to email them multiple times over the course of a couple weeks to get a response, other times I had to call the salon to get ahold of them. This sporadic communication was stressful when it came closer to my wedding, as we had only communicated via email. Probably would think again before booking them for event services. read more

I've come here for a number of years and had great results. This past summer I came in to get my haircut, and tried a stylist my friend had recommend. After discussing what I was going for (a medium length shag) they got to work. After everything was done and styled I was crushed. My long hair had been cut into a style that was three obvious layers. Not at all what I had wanted. I have autism and when stressed I shut down. So I quickly paid (and tipped) and left. I tried to convince myself maybe it would be salvageable if I had washed and styled it myself. It was not, so at urging of others I contacted the salon a few days later to have it worked on in hopes of making it somewhat bearable. I asked to have it fixed by a senior stylist and was scheduled. I then quickly received a call back telling me that if I wanted to see a senior stylist I would have to pay full price again. The only option that wouldn't result in having to pay more money was to return to the original stylist who cut my hair whom I did not trust to attempt to fix the situation. I (nor others i've discussed this with) have experienced having to pay full price again to have a mistake at a salon fixed by somebody with better qualifications. I unfortunately could not afford to pay full price to have it fixed, so I have been stuck trying to grow out my hair desperately hoping it will eventually look better. Months later and it still has not improved much. I wish I had posted this review much sooner but was afraid to do so. I hope that this doesn't happen to another customer. read more

Excellent cut with Cayla! It had been a minute since I'd had a haircut (about four months!) since before my baby was born as she's keeping me busy. My ends were literally as bristly as paintbrushes and I'm constantly shedding. Total mess. I was going to a salon in San Rafael but my stylist moved to Denver and broke my heart, so I thought this would be an opportune time to find someone closer. I found Brush on Yelp and when I saw they had online booking I frantically searched for the soonest appointment and was so happy to sneak into Cayla's schedule. She was very friendly, fun to talk to, and didn't seem to flinch at my postpartum rats nest of hair. She cleaned me up nicely and pampered me with a two person blow dry. She kept my hair as long as possible while removing the unhealthy bits, and succeeded in keeping my layers long and natural. I'll definitely be back and am relieved to have found my new salon. read more

Brush is the salon to go to for all of your hair needs! Kelsey has been doing my hair for the past couple years and she is absolutely amazing. She did a major color correction on my hair and it's honestly never looked better. She brought my hair from a dark brown (box dye BTW) to beautiful blonde. I can honestly say I don't think I trust anyone else with my hair. She NEVER disappoints and is always timely and professional. Brush is a clean and beautiful salon with great employees that always make you feel welcome and taken care of. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for great customer service and beautiful results :) Ask for Kelsey and check her out @knormhair read more
