I looked for years for someone who could truly do my "blonde" hair justice. Once I found Danika, I…read moreknew I'd never go back. She is amazing! She asks all the right questions to make sure she understands exactly what you want, and she has the knowledge and talent to get you there. I completely trust her, and I'm always amazed by the results! I have never received as many compliments on my hair as I have since she started doing it. I love the salon itself, too. It has such a cute vibe with all the plants, and she always has killer music playing! 100/10 -- highly recommend Danika and this salon!

Reached in to Oak and Ivy last minute as I'm in from out of town for a root color touch up…read more(#ShesOld). Even before I talk about the color I want to lift up that a) they use tech really well (I'm on Zoom calls from one end of the day to the other so picking up the phone and calling someone is super difficult for me most days). They responded to my inquiry through Yelp immediately, forwarded my request on to their stylists, and I had an appointment set up within a half hour max. Ended up with Stephanie and she was wonderful! While she was putting the color in I noticed she didn't apply any protective gel or vaseline ahead of time to protect my skin from the dye. I just figured, "Well, I'm not going to see anyone today, if I'm walking around with a dye headband, it's fine." Well, she didn't NEED to put anything on my skin to protect it because she's that good at what she does! The color came out great -- very natural and healthy looking, and really shiny. And not one drop of dye anywhere except for on the roots where it belonged. On top of all this, Stephanie was super nice, as was everyone who worked there. Loved the ambience, too -- the music was sort of 70s classic rock as was the decor. I'm hoping to be out in this area again in the coming year, and definitely plan to go back to them! Thanks, Stephanie!

You feel like you've walked through the looking glass and are in some wonderful magical enchanted home. It's comfortable and friendly. I called last night never thinking they'd be able to fit me in today for a cut, but they were! Trisha cut my hair, and transformed me! She used wonderful smelling products to wash and condition, and gave my hair the cut it desperately needed. She's fun and easy to converse with, and I left feeling like a brand new person with a fresh new outlook. I'm so happy to have found a new place for my hair needs, and conveniently located right here in town. If you're intimidated by going into new salons, this is your place. You'll instantly feel comfortable and relaxed. I also appreciated how quick Trisha did my hair.

I had such a wonderful experience at Haven Salon with Michelle! From the moment I sat in the chair,…read moreI felt genuinely listened to and cared for. She took the time to understand what I wanted, my hair goals, and what would realistically work best for my hair, not just for that day, but moving forward. I especially appreciated how thoughtful she was about creating a plan with me rather than rushing through the appointment. She explained her recommendations, made sure I felt comfortable with everything, and brought my vision to life while still keeping the health of my hair in mind. My hair refresh turned out absolutely beautiful, and I left feeling so confident and refreshed. The entire experience felt personal, intentional, and relaxing. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. I'm so happy with my hair and already looking forward to my next appointment. Highly recommend Haven Salon!

I'm really surprised I haven't done a review for Sassee yet. I've been going here to see Tara for…read moremany years now. I go here specifically for Tara, she's amazing and does a great job dying my ginger hair any color I want from brown to pink. If you don't know dying or bleaching red hair can be a real nightmare and I've had many stylists mess it up or charge me hundreds for no change at all. Tara always gets my hair the exact color and style I ask for and is always honest with me about the process. The salon is quite lovely. Has a very boutique vibe. They have a little snack, bar and drink bar for everyone. Everyone who rents a spot or works there seems very friendly and professional. There's usually always parking right in front or across the street. It is downtown Cotati, though, so depending on events, the parking can be a little rough, but I've never had an issue.

I definitely don't recommend going there. I think they're trying to justify their salon improvements and sticking their clients with the cost. Most of the stations are empty, that must tell you their level of expertise and service.

Everything was a positive.Her salon suite is lovely, as is she. A really nice vibe overall. If being blonde is your desire, or if, (as in my situation), corrective color intervention is necessary ,my recommendation is to go straight to a blonde specialist. Teresa is that and I am grateful.

I had my hair done by Christina and asked for a specific color. After the appointment, I noticed…read morethe color wasn't quite what I had requested, so I messaged her. She responded saying it would lighten up, but I received no further communication after that. Later, I saw a color on her Instagram that I liked, which was closer to what I originally wanted, so I mentioned it to her. Unfortunately, she blocked me without attempting to address the issue. I found this behavior unprofessional and disappointing. It felt like she wasn't willing to work with me to resolve the situation, which reflects poorly on her professionalism. In hindsight, I should have stuck with my regular stylist.
