This review is specifically for the stylist Teresa Valdez not the salon as a whole. Buckle up, it's worth the read. My first appointment with Teresa was perfect, it was exactly the color I wanted and I was incredibly happy. At my second appointment I explicitly stated "I want to do what we did last time" yet she proceeded to make my hair significantly darker. I immediately brought up how much darker it was than the previous appt and she assured me it was only a dark gloss and would wash out and lighten up soon. I trusted her. And "left happy" because she assured me it was "just a gloss". I didn't speak up because I trusted her. At my third appointment everything went south. Before we started I brought up again that my hair was made too dark the previous appt and clearly communicated that I did not want my hair to be dark. Teresa proceeded to dye my hair pitch black. I immediately brought it to her attention at the end of my appt and let her know I was NOT happy with how dark my hair was. This time, Teresa's story completely changed, she told me she had actually used permanent dye at my second appointment not a gloss. After a lot of back and forth and attempted gaslighting she eventually admitted that she hadn't taken proper notes and couldn't remember exactly what she had done to my hair at my previous appointments. Awesome. Not only was this extremely unprofessional and disorganized on her part but throughout the process I felt completely gaslit. She put words in my mouth that I never said. She made decisions about my hair that I never consented to. She did what she wanted with my hair instead of communicating with me and getting my approval first. Her lack of accountability made an already bad situation feel even worse. She knew she had made a mistake, admitted it but still tried to gaslight me to agree with her rather than take accountability. To top it all off despite her completely admitting fault, she only offered me a partial refund. After her countless mistakes and the way the entire situation was handled, the partial refund felt like a slap in the face. I wish I would have never sat in her chair. It's unfortunate that this experience reflects on the salon because I'm sure there are much more professional stylists there to choose from. If you do decide to book with Teresa, I would STRONGLY recommend being VERY direct about what you want and making sure you explicitly consent to any changes before she proceeds. -5/10. read more

This is a cute, industrial vibe-y establishment. The barbershop is on the left and the salon is on the right. Clover was very helpful and understood my curly hair. Their prices are on par with most salons and, I feel, worth it. Definitely will come back. read more

I am still fairly new to Santa Rosa and I was skeptical of any new salon because I haven't been to a salon since 2018 so my hair was long with a crap ton of damage and split ends. I made an appointment with Carina and IM SO GLAD I DID! I got a hair treatment and haircut and it was only $130! She even styled my hair afterwards. Carina is the girl to go to she is so lovely and she definitely is someone you can chat with while your hair gets done. I am so happy with my haircut that I'm coming back in a few weeks to get my hair dyed! THANK YOU CARINA FOR GIVING ME A LOVELY HAIRCUT! read more

Love luxurious lashes? Lauren is your gal. I've been getting my lashes done by Lauren since 2020 and I will follow her wherever she goes because she is a true lash artist. This is why I drive to Santa Rosa from Napa and it's 100% worth it every time. Daredevils & Queens Salon is in a cute neighborhood and Lauren's room is super chill. Warning: Lashes by Lauren are addictive, but they'll make you feel like a star. read more

Rachel has been my hairstylist for 4 years now, and always leaves me feeling confident and so happy with my hair. If you're looking for a forever stylist, look no further, she's the one!!! read more

Heidi did a great job on my pixie cut and color. She listened and provided excellent advice as we decided the color and shape of my cut. I will definitely be a return customer. read more

Lauren is the ONLY person I will let touch my lashes!! I need to feel like I can truly trust my lash artist. I tend to be very particular with the style I like. I want to feel beautiful, but I don't want people to be able to "clock" the extensions. When I'm in Lauren's chair I feel completely safe knowing she will give nothing less than perfection. Not only is the work always superb, but she makes you feel so comfortable and taken care of during the entire process. You can tell she truly cares about your experience just as much as how confident you feel walking out her door! read more

Lashes by Lauren Holster Lauren has been my lash artist for years, and I can't recommend her enough! She's the one I trusted for my wedding day, and as always, the results were absolutely perfect. Even when I'm not sure exactly what I want (which is most of the time!), she somehow knows and delivers every single time. She's so easy to talk to and makes you feel right at home, so every appointment feels like hanging out with a friend--plus you leave looking amazing. I always walk out feeling refreshed, confident, and obsessed with my lashes. If you're looking for flawless results and an amazing experience, go book with Lauren. You won't regret it! read more

Lauren is the absolute best. Not only does she have the best personality but she's amazing at what she does. She's beautiful inside and out! She always makes my lashes look incredible. Highly recommend her! read more

Second review for this salon. Previously my boyfriend came during Covid and was seen by Andy whom has since retired. This time we both got haircuts. He got a great haircut from Dayton and I got a great haircut from Carina. I'm very picky when it comes to my fringe and she did a great job. We were both able to get in at the same time. Him on the men's side and myself on the salon side. Beautiful place and really nice people. Both of us will be back. read more

The best lashes and brows I've ever had--hands down. I'm seriously OBSESSED. Lauren is a total artist and perfectionist when it comes to lashes and brows. I've never felt more confident leaving a beauty appointment in my life. She listened to exactly what I wanted--natural but still noticeable--and delivered better than I could've imagined. My lashes look full, lifted, and completely weightless. And don't even get me started on the brows... snatched but soft, perfectly shaped, and flattering to my face. She just gets it. Her studio is clean, comfy, and super calming. You can tell she cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. If you're thinking about booking--DO IT. This is your sign. 10/10 recommend. I'll never let anyone else touch my lashes or brows again! read more

I hesitate to leave a bad review, because maybe it's just my karma to always have a bad experience at a hair salon. I hadn't had a haircut since about 2012 because of the aforesaid string of bad experiences. The first thing I ask a hair stylist is whether they know how to cut naturally curly hair. I.e., do they know not to shampoo my hair before cutting it? They always say "yes," then immediately prove that the honest answer was "no." I also say I don't own a hair dryer and won't use hair products, so please give me a hair cut that works well with wash and air dry. My hair is now wavy, not curly, but it still needs to be treated like naturally curly hair. My experience at Daredevils & Queens wasn't any different than any other. My stylist washed my hair, then blew-dry it, which means she couldn't see any of the natural waviness. Then proceeded to cut it and then blow dry it again, and added a stinky product. So she ignored every one of my requests. And the hair cut she gave me, while marginally better than my self-cuts, was uninspired, unflattering, and demoralizing. I recently read there's a local salon that specializes in curly hair. I'll try them next. read more

Kristine is one of the best barbers in Santa Rosa. She let me drop in on a busy Friday and took care of me like a professional. I wanted a more complex look and she knocked it out of the park. She was patient and executed my haircut with precision. I will be coming back to her moving forward! Hands down!!!! Thank you Kristine & Daredevils! Cool shop btw read more

I was a client of Elisa Catala Soria prior to her joining Daredevils and Queens and was thrilled to find her back in Santa Rosa. Though I gravitate to a lower maintenance style, I always leave looking fantastic and bonus, my hair looks great as it grows out. Low-lights, High-lights, all over color, long to short, it all comes out exactly how I want it. She will be my go to gal for as long as she is working. read more

My wife has been on me to get a beard trim so I walked into Daredevils and Queens this morning. My first time getting a beard trim. Kristine Valencia hooked me up with a clean cut. Great personality and a great barber. Very happy with the results. Will definitely be requesting Kristine for my next trim. Couldn't recommend her more. Thank you Kristine! read more

I've only seen one stylist here -- Heidi Hoffman -- so I can't comment on everyone, but Heidi has been cutting my hair for years now. I have curly/wavy hair but don't like it to sproing up and look like a bad 80s perm. Heidi gives me the cuts I want, which tame the curl into waves (though my hair will still curl up when scrunched). I like novelty, though, so I often ask for a change of style. It's fun to go in and come out looking fresh! I will also say that Heidi's gentle shampooing, scalp massages, and new hair products are part of the pampering aspect. I let her blow it out however she wants so I can see how my hair could look, though I typically prefer just to let the haircut do most of the styling work for me after that. It's also been helpful for me to send her photos on my phone of styles I like and then we talk about how she could modify it for me, and how it would actually look on me (since even the best haircut isn't going to make me look 30 again). Keep in mind that you'll probably want to book 4-6 weeks in advance, as Heidi has a devoted following and you'll have competition to get one of her appointments. She's worth the wait! read more

Awesome service and I love my haircut!! Rebecca knows my hair and I give her free reign read more

Lashes by Lauren is amazing. She does such great work and really took the time to match my lashes to what I wanted. They look amazing... highly recommend! read more

DO NOT GO TO MARY. I had requested red tips on the ends of my hair. Instead, I got red ALL over my hair splattered. So she attempted to bleach it out and FRIED MY HAIR. Then proceeded to cut it CROOKED. With only a small refund, I went elsewhere to get it fixed which cost a pretty penny. Awful salon, and they refused to help make it right when I asked for reimbursement. Wish I took them to court, but not worth my time. *Mary didn't pay for any of my fixes I had to pay out of pocket and called me many inappropriate names after I demanded a refund and her to pay to fix my hair* read more

This was my first time at the salon and I absolutely loved it. The salon itself is beautiful and spacious. Ashley cut and diffused my hair, I have never been so obsessed with it! My curls have been so bouncy and beautiful since I've gotten them cut, the layers are perfect and it looks and feels so fresh. Ashley was so sweet and easy to talk to, she makes you feel very comfortable in her chair. I love it! I'm definitely coming back here for my next cut. read more

Fun colors? Go to Mary. Mary has been doing my hair since 2016, and she has put up with my endless weird descriptions of what I'd like for my hair, including "electric watermelon" and "cooked salmon." She gets it right every single time. As my other manic pixie dream girls know, it's essential to have a stylist who supports your impulsive color changes while also talking you out of getting bangs. Mary has done both successfully for years, and I hope she will continue to forever. She hasn't fired me yet, and I want a different color every season, sometimes two. You might note that I do have bangs in one of these photos. Sometimes I don't listen and decide I really do need bangs even though Mary said not to get any. Let's just say I have decided to take things into my own hands-on more than one occasion. Mary has always been there to pick up the pieces, fix my bangs, and help me grow them back out. From fun colors to that one time I decided I wanted a balayage, then changed my mind a month later. Mary is my ride or dye hairstylist. She is an absolute angel, and I can't believe she's put up with me for all these years, but I am forever grateful. I would be remiss if I failed to mention that she must be some kind of wizard. I have gone to many different stylists in my life, and my hair has never been healthier than with Mary. With how often I change my colors it can only be described as magic. Please enjoy several pictures of her work. I'm sorry to inform you all that I could not find a picture of the electric watermelon, but I got married in the cooked salmon, and it may be the longest-running color I've ever kept... Maybe I should get it back? Excuse me while I pin back my bangs and call Mary. read more

This salon has a wonderful vibe! I went here for about 1.5 years and if I hadn't moved to another county, I'd still go for haircuts because Heidi does a fabulous job shaping and caring for my tiny curls. I chose her for her curl expertise and found her chair to be welcoming and fun. I always liked what she did with the shape and she takes her time to understand what it is that you want, how much to take off where and your overall vision. Heidi understands the challenge curly girls face because she also has curls and she knows what to do with them! read more

What a special place!! I have one amazing cosmetologist ,beautician , colorist and goddess in Cassidy. She shares her talent and expertise easily. All the staff at D & Qs is so talented. I see Cassidy for hair color/cut and I feel blessed to have found her. Her talent is apparent, her knowledge and kindness has made my hair journey so smooth. And I've never felt more confident about myself and my hair. The vibes are warm, the people are cool and the salon itself is cozy and chic. read more

Kristine , has become my permanent barber now . On 2 occasion I had family visit from out of town. Both times I requested early Saturday morning appointments and she was able to get me in . I always leave satisfied. read more

Kristine is definitely the best! She takes care of me and my boys haircut. Easy to book and always shows up.

Santa Rosa, you are VERY lucky to have Omar Antonio at this salon. I've been seeing him in Benicia for almost 20 years and trust nobody else with my hair. The man is a master of his craft. I cannot recommend Omar highly enough for all your haircut, color, and styling needs. read more

I am beyond happy with my appointment for color today with Carina. She heard my vision and brought my color back to life! She was able to match my previous blonde while keeping my hair's health in mind. The bright color accents are blended perfectly as well. I am so happy I found this beautiful, bright, clean salon and my new stylist Carina! read more

I've been coming here off and on for about ten years (off only when I lived out of the area) and this review is long overdue. I brought all of my groomsmen here the morning of my wife and my wedding and got styled out by half of their chairs (haircuts and beard trims). My wedding photos were on point. More about my experiences, I've been getting worked on by Kyle for a hot second and know I can get EXACTLY what I'm looking for in his chair. Let's be completely honest, the cost associated with getting your haircut here can be considered on the higher end, but the results are far beyond anything you find for a cheap walk-in haircut anywhere else. I just got cut up before flying back to VA for a family wedding and as the pictures show, Kyle knows what he's doing. Good conversation regardless of the chair and a place I have no qualms spending a little bit more money to get the results I want. I love you guys. read more

! Are you scrolling through these reviews to find a good stylist? I know, it can be daunting, there are so many stylists out there and no way to know who is good. Well, look no further, because I have a recommendation for you, and it's a solid one. Carina Myres. Seriously, she is the one. Read on for details! I've been at sea without a stylist for years, going here and there, never leaving with a haircut I liked. I also have a teen daughter, so we've both been getting either meh or bad haircuts for a few years now. My daughter really needed and wanted a haircut. This time I called Daredevils and Queens. We got booked with Carina and wow am I grateful!! My daughter went in with a specific cut in mind and Carina gave her exactly what she asked for. When I say exactly, I mean EXACTLY. I'm not sure my daughter has ever been happier with a haircut or felt more transformed by one. Sooooo....after watching her give my daughter an incredible cut, I scheduled an appointment with her. My hair was a total mess after not having had it cut in two years! I showed her some pictures of what I was envisioning and...she gave me a haircut that is literally the best haircut I have ever had. I'm not exaggerating when I say that, though it must sound like I am :D. I was also transformed! Okay, now a brief overview of important details about Carina/her work: *she listens and communicates really well *I am getting a lot of genuine compliments on this haircut--like, random ones from people I've just met *she is just legit highly skilled--she has the listening, interpreting, adapting, conceptualizing, math, and art skills to execute not only the haircut you want, but an amazing haircut Believe all the good reviews of her talents--they are accurate!! read more

A great place for locals and nonlocals. A pleasant atmosphere and good workers. Kristine is an attentive barber, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend. read more

I've been going to Mary for years and she's an expert with color! She's given me really beautiful natural colors in reds, browns and with blonde highlights but when I wanted to go to blue hair, she was ready and willing! I'm obsessed with the color! I've referred another friend to Mary and we both especially love her innate understanding of color. read more

Mary has been doing my hair consistently for years now. She understands the complexity of color and will tell me if my hair can't handle something. She does her best to get you the results you want without damaging your hair. As someone who has had not so great experiences in the past, I really appreciate that! Not only is she amazing at doing hair but she has also taught me proper hair care for my hair type. I've always wanted long hair but have never been able to grow it past my shoulders until now. I definitely think now that I have a good stylist and know what products to use my hair is able to finally grow longer. Overall, I can't recommend Mary enough. She is an absolute professional and takes care of you 100%! read more

I normally don't do reviews but I got a haircut from Kristine and she was amazing! Great customer service and will give ideas on what kind of haircut would best suit you if you want a new style. I've been to some barbers that just sit there and talk to each other and not focus on the customer but she gives you her full attention and gets straight to the point. Loved the setting that the shop gives. I never had a barber but now I have one that I will always go to. Thanks Kristine! read more

Great experience with Michael last week. Friendly, knowledgeable, and took time to make my hair look great. Highly recommend!

Heather Annaleice is such a great stylist. I've been going to her for years and won't go to anyone else. She's a great listener to what you want and is patient in the process. She knows her stuff and texture is one of her strengths! Highly recommend her. read more

As a walk in customer, I had the good fortune of getting my first haircut in 3 years from Carina Myres. Carina is talented hair artist with a calming influence. She is fully able to visualize and accomplish what would look best on you, according to your wishes. I had forgotten what a difference a good hair cut can make in your appearance and am so very happy with the outcome. I'll be a regular with her for certain! read more

This salon has such a great vibe and is on one of the cutest streets in Santa Rosa. I recently got an amazing cut and color by Elisa, and it was such a great experience! She touched up my roots, refreshed my balayage and reshaped my cut. Plus, I got a relaxing head massage. I highly recommend this salon and stylist! read more

A dog friendly salon, what else can you ask for. This place is located in the heart of old downtown Santa Rosa next to a delicious coffee shop. If are in a rush to your appointment don't worry they always have delicious drinks (coffee & cider) for you here. Everyone is so friendly & hard working. Today I got the pleasure to work with Kiani Martin. She is super sweet and easy going. The architecture of this place is great; somewhat like New York. A must come place for all men and women looking for a new look. read more
