I first went to Caroline's Salon three months postpartum, and it was such a blessing. They colored my hair and gave me the loveliest hairstyle -- but what stayed with me even more was how nurtured I felt. The warm welcome, the genuine conversation, the hot tea in my hands -- it was exactly what I needed. I left feeling like myself again, floating on cloud nine. Now I'm pregnant with my second baby, and I already know I'll be back three months after delivery. It's my little gift to myself -- and a gentle reminder to all the moms out there: take that time for you. Caroline's Salon isn't just a place to get your hair done, it's a place where you're truly cared for -- inside and out. You can feel the love and intention in every detail -- and that's 100% coming from the owners. So grateful for this space and the beautiful team behind it. read more

Since when is a root touch-up and base color $150?! According to your website, the price for a root touch-up has gone from $65 to $75 and now to $150. Even a full color service at $150 (before tip) feels excessive. I understand that prices increase over time, but this is a significant jump. Unfortunately, at those rates, I'll be looking for a different salon going forward. read more

The salon itself is clean, but the overall vibe felt off. There seemed to be noticeable tension in the room, which made it difficult to relax and enjoy the appointment. A welcoming, positive atmosphere is a big part of the salon experience, so I hope this is something that improves. read more

Arianna Ramirez is amazing. She has a very sweet, calming personality & is an excellent stylist. She has cut & styled my hair many times & now does my daughters. My daughter wanted colored tips & I was very hesitant @ first. Arianna spent a significant amount of time, was meticulous & the color was exactly what we wanted. read more

Excellent salon with a lot of stylists who can do any hair style. You can easily book appointments online and find the services you want. I've been to many places over the years and this one is high quality. Very modern and efficient place. read more

I booked an appointment at Caroline's Salon because my regular stylist was fully booked and I had two weddings coming up. I was told this salon had a good reputation and I also appreciated that they're open on Mondays, which fit my schedule. When I first called, I spoke with Amy at the front desk and explained that I needed a color and cut, and that I specifically wanted someone who specializes in blonde hair. She recommended Bryanna and set me up with a consultation. At the consultation, I told Bryanna clearly that I wanted my hair colored and cut (at least an inch off). She confirmed that would be fine. On the day of my appointment, Bryanna applied the color, but my foils were only left in for about 10 minutes - much shorter than the 20 minutes or so I'm used to at other salons. After rinsing and blow drying, the color looked slightly lighter and natural, but nothing special. When I asked about the cut, she told me it wasn't scheduled. This was frustrating since we had already discussed it. She tried to see if another stylist could do it, but no one was available. Amy then suggested I schedule another appointment just for the cut. At that point, I was already unimpressed with the lack of communication and follow-through, so I declined. The experience felt disorganized and disappointing, and I left without getting what I had originally booked for. Moral of the story: I should have stuck with my regular stylist. Caroline's Salon did not meet expectations, and I won't be returning. read more

I went to caroline's about a month ago and i have never gotten more compliments in my life regarding my cut and color than i did this time!! i was with samantha, who was SO sweet and was so fun to talk to!! her consultation was very thorough and she literally gave me EXACTLY what i dreamed of, my hair was the perfect blonde color (so people have pointed out how pretty it is!!) and my haircut was a perfect blend of a couple pictures i showed. for a new stylist, samantha is genuinely so talented and so amazing at what she does, you would think she's been doing this forever!! i really recommend booking with her if you want the best hair experience!! read more

I had Brooklyn today and she was amazing as was every stylist I've ever had. What I love most is that I can book according to my schedule and be confident that I will be satisfied with whoever I get. Angelica and all the others at the front desk greet you with a big smile. Thank you all! read more

What I love most about Caroline's Salon is the flexibility. I can book appointments around my schedule and always feel confident that no matter who I'm with, I'll walk out happy. The level of consistency and quality across the team is seriously impressive. Thank you all for making every visit so smooth, easy, and enjoyable. You've earned a loyal client! read more

Caroline's is the best! I had the most amazing experience. I went to Emily for the first time and it felt like I was hanging out with a good friend and to top it off she did an amazing job on my partial balayage hair color and cut. My teenage daughter had her haircut with Ariana and also had a fantastic experience. The salon is adorable, and the people are amazing! read more

Caroline's Salon - partial balayage - Hair Salons Near Me - Lafayette, California

I found Caroline's salon through a friend recommendation and I've had such a lovely experience. The salon itself is inviting, beautiful, and cozy and you're always greeted by the sweetest ladies at the front desk. The salon is super clean and organized. Since I wasn't familiar with any of the stylists I made my first appointment with Bryanna and I've been going to her ever since (today was my 4th or 5th appointment with her). She's amazing. She is knowledgeable and very skilled. She's excited about learning and educating herself on new products and/or hair trends. She has the most lovely personality. Very easy to talk to. She takes notes and makes sure she does exactly what you want. She wants you to feel and look beautiful and I always feel incredible after leaving her. Maybe looking even a few years younger ;) If you're looking for someone who will take care of you and your hair then look no further! Thanks Bryanna and Caroline's salon for providing such an awesome hair experience! See you in a few weeks! read more

Booked late the night before for an opening morning spot with Ari. Couldn't have been nicer. Everyone was very welcoming from the moment I arrived. Most importantly, my blowout was beautiful and sleek. Exactly what I requested. Finished quickly without feeling rushed. Will definitely return. read more

Super disappointed and frustrated. Had an appointment for a haircut booked for 4.30, and turned up 5 mins before scheduled time. At 4.50 I was still sitting in reception with not one update or check in from front desk staff. I couldn't keep waiting as I would be late to pick up my children. This is frustrating when you move things around and make arrangements and people don't respect your time. Doesn't make for a premium experience. read more

I came in to see Cecilia for an up do for and event- it was a 1940's themed auction fundraiser. I gave her a couple of inspo photos and she knocked it out of the park! I was getting compliments on my hair all night long! Cannot recommend her and this salon more :) they made me feel welcome from the get go and everyone was super friendly! read more

Desperately needed a hair cut because my hair looked like a mop and I needed a new look for a conference I was going to. Called last minute to get an appointment for the end of the day on Monday. They managed to fit me in. I didn't know Brianna and she was a junior stylist and she did a great job! She took her time to dry my hair well. It was my first time at the salon and I'm definitely coming back. Very well priced too! read more

Terrible Customer Service! Be Warned! Think Twice! I called ahead of time to see who was good with dark blonde hair for a root touch up. They put me in touch with Brianna. My hair ended up being rosy pink to the point my family commented immediately! I had a wedding to go to in two days and my hair had a pink tint. I used Color Oops and purple shampoo to try to repair the damage as I didn't have much time. I called the salon and they refused to provide a refund and would only offer a salon credit. Why would I want to go back??? I didn't even ask for the haircut to be refunded, just the disastrous color so I can use the money to go elsewhere to have it fixed. I even sent pictures to show the color of my hair. Atrocious customer service as I had to call multiple times to even get someone to call back. read more

I went in with high hopes after reading so many great reviews, but left with my hair looking exactly the same -- and a $275 bill. My stylist barely put in six foils, did a shadow root that was hardly noticeable, and on top of that, was cold and unfriendly. Overall, a really disappointing experience. read more

Great salon ! Hair cut was as I asked. The staff was very friendly and salon was super clean.

I have been going to Caroline's for about 5 years and all the stylists have been great. I recently have been going to Roisin and have loved the cuts and color she has done. She has given me two amazing shag hair cuts so far. My partner liked it so much he ended up going to her for his mullet haircut. Roisin is a great choice if you're looking for something modern or alternative! read more

Both my daughter (age 4) and I had a great experience. Kids cut was great - they actually took the time to wash, condition and detangle her hair before the cut - which most don't do for a kids cut, Leanne cut my hair and she was great as well. read more

I've had amazing service here! Susan has been amazing and gives the most amazing haircuts!!

You are always greeted with a smile and hello when you arrive. Atmosphere is awesome. CindyLou is the BEST hair stylist! She always uses the best products and takes such care of her clients. read more

Super disappointed! I used to love this salon and I loved my cut and color yesterday (with Nat), which with extra hair treatment cost me almost $400. With generous tip almost $500. I had planned and saved for it. I parked in their lot which has a three-hour max parking meter. I was tracking the time and asked my stylist if I could run out and put money in the meter before it ran out- it was roughly $4.00 for three hours. My stylist said the salon is happy to add money to the meter so I don't have to run out- sounded great. At the end of my service I go out and see a $25 parking ticket on my car. I take a breath, and because they are at closing I just send an email with a photo of the ticket and time stamp. I get an email back today saying that they won't reimburse me for the ticket because I should have been tracking how far over the timed service we went. I was under the impression that when they said "we are happy to add to the meter" that they had it covered, and were in conversation with the stylist about how long the service was running. To add insult to injury the response said that the lot usually doesn't ticket unless you are a repeat offender. I am scrupulous about adding to my meter- because I don't have money for tickets!- so it just felt like the business was externalizing blame to avoid any responsibility. So unflattering! To the business/owner- please don't offer something you can't really do- that is adding stress and unnecessary costs to your customers- they are coming to you for a relaxing experience. Instead, explain your policy when you offer something - that you are not tracking time and it is the customer's job to do so; or for God's sake just let them go out to the lot and add to their own meter. I absolutely loved Nat's cut and color so huge kudos to her, but unfortunately I won't be back to this salon because this experience totally undid any relaxing self-care I otherwise experienced that day. Caroline's Salon, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Customer be warned. Don't take them up on their parking offer. read more

I just had my hair styled for the 1st time at Caroline's Salon. Cecilia Poblano was my stylist and she was amazing. She asked questions of what I wanted and she listened and my hair is exactly what I have been wanting for a very long time. Highly recommend Cecilia and Caroline's Salon! read more

The best place to get your hair done. I always have the most amazing experience here. Everybody is so friendly and I am always pleased with how my hair turns out. Thank you. read more

My daughter had a specific vision of how she wanted her hair colored, and even had drawn a picture of how she wanted it to look. Ariana did a consultation and took the time to do a color match to my daughter's drawing using a color wheel to make sure it was what she wanted. The appointment took a long time because my daughter has a LOT of hair - but Ariana didn't rush, even stayed a little past normal closing to make sure all the color set right. She gave us tips for how to keep the color bright; it turned out exactly as my daughter imagined. Two months later, it still looks phenomenal. She's received so many compliments, particularly because her natural hair color is black and the color pops so beautifully! read more

I came here based on the reviews. I had not tried this Salon or hairdresser before. The lady never looked twice at the picture I brought and cut my hair four inches too short. She kept on cutting and cutting. I have straggly loose ends in the back. What a waste of $145. I won't be co.ing back! She never asked what length I wanted. read more

This salon is awesome! Sarah Vandiver is the best! Everyone is so nice! My hair is always happy after my visit with Sarah!

I've been a long time customer for years, my whole family comes here! But we will be finding a new salon. I booked an appointment months in advance for a special occasion so ensure I had the day, time, and stylist I wanted. They called me to reschedule only a few weeks before and had no availability or flexibility when rescheduling. Super disappointed in the front desk staff. They seemed to not care at all that I booked this months in advance and now is stressing me out to find somewhere else to get my hair done for my event. read more

I've had a series of bad cuts and mediocre color jobs, and WOW after one appointment here I love my hair again! Kristin listened hard to figure out what I wanted (even though I was a bit rambly and showed her at least 10 pictures) and landed me the best color and cut I've ever had. Couldn't be happier! I'll be back for sure. read more

This is a high-end that makes you feel right at home. From the front desk people to each stylist everyone is so friendly. Cindy Lou makes sure my hair looks stunning every time I visit! She always recommends the products that I need and even tells me if I don't need something. I love the product selection - Oribe is fabulous! I feel so well taken care of here - it is so relaxing and refreshing. I can't recommend Caroline's enough! read more

Called and booked an appointment with a junior stylist for the very next day at 1130am. I was given a quote and told to expect to be there for two hours. I arranged to have a nanny for those two hours. When I arrived at the salon, the staff had no record of my booking and on top of it, were not at all apologetic for the inconvenience. They seemed careless and void of any sympathy. They nonchalant offered me an appointment for the next day and when I requested a discount for the inconvenience they made me wait for the manager (who happened to be there hearing the entire thing) tell me NO. And offer no other apology or even acknowledgement of the situation the predicament they put me in. Very unprofessional, thus I would not trust this type of people with my hair. An apology, a sincere" I am sorry " does along way. I guess they are too snobby for that. read more

Followed my stylist of 16 years to Caroline's about 3 years ago. Their space is amazing. Super relaxing. Schedule online is super simple and the girls at the desk are always nice and helpful. They have a great snack and drink selection for the very off chance you have to wait. Highly recommend. I see Cindy Lou. She's awesome. read more

I really appreciate a local salon to get a haircut and highlight that are natural looking and grow out well. Being on Zoom daily means I need to keep it tight - people! They also have a great selection of products and I can grab dinner from Tutus downstairs before I head home. Multi-tasking at its finest. read more
