She even reduced the eyeliner a bit for me when she saw I was a little uncomfortable with it - not a hassle... but a lovely time spent prepping for the favorite day of my life.

EJ has been cutting and coloring my hair since I moved to Sonoma. She really is the best! I like to try different things with my hair (which goes curly or straight) and she's found a way to make it work every time no matter what style I had in mind. Currently I'm growing it to see how long it will get. She knows the right products to recommend for your hair too and will give you honest reviews of new things. She really loves what she does, and is very up-to-date on techniques and fashion and product development and attends many seminars and hair shows. The studio is always clean and welcoming with coffee and biscotti for you. If you're a model or just want to feel like one when you walk out the door, this place can do amazing things with anyone's type of hair, always considering what you would like and listening to what you ask for. read more

My first appt at EJ588 was on Saturday, February 20,2010. I have been to three different hair salons in the past year, and have not been satisfied. My mom's best friend highly recommend EJ588. My appt was with Hanna Marie. She was extremely sweet and friendly. I handed her a picture of a hair color that I wanted from a magazine ( Jenny Garth) and a few hours later, my hair was that exact color. I was sooo impressed. Hanna was amazing! I am so happy that I finally found a stylist who would give me the results that I paid for- not to mention that the salons prices were very reasonable. I was so excited that I made another appt with her for a haircut. I will gladly recommend Hanna to all my friends and family. read more

This salon has won "Best of" awards in Sonoma for several years running, and it was all constructed and put together by EJ herself and her husband. It's a cool, contemporary space with lots of art and fun things to look at, and every stylist there gives you their complete attention. EJ is open to anything you might want to do with your hair and is a terrific stylist and cutter as well as a talented colorist. She attends conventions every year to stay up-to-date on the latest techniques and products and trends. Everyone at the salon is friendly and makes you feel comfortable, and you will always leave satisfied. read more

When I first moved to Sonoma County, I went through 7 different hair stylists trying to find someone that could cut my mop of hair. Then I found Frauka at EJ-588. Wow! I am an executive that needs to look like a million bucks and she has consistantly made that happen. On top of it all, she has such a warm and fun personallity, that I have come to really enjoy my monthly visits with her. The salon is bright, fun, and is filled with positve energy and a zest for making customers feel like they are important. read more

This salon has the BEST vibe! It's hip yet extremely welcoming and comfortable - which in itself can be difficult to achieve. EJ frequently attends classes to ensure she's up to date with the most current of current - cuts, color, product, feathers.... you name it. She's been my stylist for 11 years or so, still asks if the last cut and color worked, and is there something I'd like? I pretty much leave it to her and ALWAYS love what she does. She's the best! read more
