My hair was very long and dry and Michelle did a wonderful job cutting and styling it just the way I wanted it. Beautiful layers and it feels great. Thanks Michelle! read more

A well seasoned stylist who will listen to your needs. I loved the haircut and color I recieved from her. Not only that she is super welcoming and great with conversation. If you want to feel like you're getting a stylist who knows their stuff, go to Michelle! read more

Timely professional and kind.Old guy badly needed color and cut/style.Prices are fair for the expertise I experienced.My hair or lack there of hadn't been cut in 3 years.Michelle did a nice job and I left happy. read more

I have gone to Michelle a couple of times within the last 6 months and although I love the haircut, the conversation is really uncomfortable. At one point she said I should lose 10 lbs. The thing I found most unprofessional was how she bad-mouthed my previous haircut. Like I said, nice haircut but the vibe I got from my hairstylist wasnt worth it. read more

I have been looking for a new hairdresser for quite a while. I needed someone who can cut curly hair, but I often style it into a straighter style so I needed someone who could cut my hair so I could have both. I found Michelle online and decided to give her a try. I was not disappointed, Michelle did what I asked and made a few suggestions. I loved the color, but realized what I thought I wanted in a cut wasn't working. The next time I went I asked what she might suggest and she showed me a cut in a magazine that she thought would work well for me. I love my new cut and color, Michelle is great to work with and shows you how to style your hair when you get home. She breaks down her pricing and is more than fair. I have found a new salon, finally! Her salon is an interesting place in an upstairs building overlooking Barnes and Noble so you can watch the world go by as you get your hair done. Highly recommended. read more

I have very fine short hair. Michelle did a great cut that is growing out really nicely. I will go back!

Joanna Haun has been treating my hair better than it has ever been treated for over 10 years! I have followed her all over town- it isn't easy finding a good stylist for crazy curly hairs like mine. Even when I lived in NYC I would wait to come home for her to do my hair; I just don't trust anyone else with my curls. She knows just how to cut and style it, and she is also a master with color. Jo is very knowledgeable and keeps up on current trends as well. I also have to say that spending a few hours with her is a pleasure, and I always leave feeling fantastic- body and soul- a good experience all around. read more

Michelle takes the time to understand your hair, the texture and the way it falls when she cuts it. My style tends to be relaxed; I don't like to fuss. As I age, the texture is changing as well as the color. I am always pleased with the cut and it lasts a long time. Thank you, Michelle. See you again soon. read more

Michelle is a perfectionist when it comes to the right haircut for you. She takes the time to listen to you and your preferences and then carefully crafts a great cut. Great experience. read more

Good precision haircut and great hair color. Thanks Michelle!

I saw Deborah Blackwell. She was fabulous! One of the best haircuts I've ever had. I asked her what she would do if she could do anything. She was full of great ideas about what would look good, and really took her time to make sure I had a great haircut. I've gotten many,many compliments on my new hairstyle. read more

I recently moved to Santa Rosa and was terrified about having to find a new hair stylist. I have been going to the same person in Ohio for 10 years, who sent a little instruction card with my hair color formula on it. Michelle was awesome, she matched my current color to her brand and my hair looks great. She took her time and explained ever step she took. I work weekdays 9-5 and she was very understanding and worked her schedule around mine and made my appointment at night. My hair cut is amazing she took her time and I can certainly tell that she is very talented and knowledgeable and I am very excited that I found someone that I can trust with my hair and plan on going to Michelle for years to come read more

I recently moved to Santa Rosa. Finding a good hair dresser has been difficult for me. I found Michelle, owner of Etrusca Hair Design on the Internet. She had excellent reviews and they turned out to be true. She has the most expertise in hair design and cut I have ever experienced. I am extremely happy with my new "hair do." read more

I cannot tell you how happy I am with Michelle Flippen the owner. My hair was such a mess that I was asking about extentions. It turned out that it was dry and need a good cut! I am so happy with her I cannot tell you how amazing my hair looks and feels now and it has only been with one cut and one color!!! She is worth it!!!! THANK YOU read more

Michelle at Etrusca Salon was recommended by a total stranger whom I met on the street a few years ago. She had short, fine, thin hair like mine and I asked her for the name of the salon she used. Now going on 7 years, I am still thrilled every time Michelle cuts my hair. Precision and patience is key to this kind of cut and Michelle is a PRO. I am living in "the other valley" now and tried a stylist closer but was disappointed at the cut so I will trek to Downtown Santa Rosa for Michelle's expertise from now on. read more

I often have bad luck with hair stylists so I'm hesitant to get my hair done at all. I met Michelle and her passion for her career intrigued me. I went into my appointment and wasn't really exactly sure what I wanted. Michelle then walked me through different options until I found something that I liked. It came out better than I expected! She definitely knows what she's doing. She's found (and earned) a new long term customer with me! read more

I'he been going to Etruscan for almost a year. Michell's is the owner and also does my hair. I was nervous at first because I'd been going to the same stylistic in the Eastbay for 20 years; we moved to Santa Rosa and I tried Michelle - I haven't been disappointed ......shes great! I love the color and products she uses; shes a perfectionist when it comes to her haircuts. Ive been very happy with everything she's done!! The salon is in a great location in downtown, with lots of convenient parking. I highly recommend Michell's and Etruscan!!! read more

Michelle is the best colorist I've found. I am ridiculously picky, albeit vain. I have been going to Michelle for 25 years now!! I live in San Francisco and have gone to high end, over priced (as is everything in SF) salons here , and once had it done at famous place in Santa Barbara, but nobody has ever been as good as Michelle. I commute to her! She is incredible! I highly recommend getting cuts from her too. She is very meticulous and precise. She is very loyal to her clients and will go out of her way to squeeze you in!! read more

After moving away from Santa Rosa for a few years, my hair was in horrible condition. It is very fine, and fragile, and no one seems to understand this. I moved back and quickly set up an appointment with Michelle again. My hair is back in great condition and I love the color again. Michelle will educate you on not just how, but why she is recommending what she does. I've always gone with her professional opinion, and I've never been disappointed. I truly believe that she is the best at what she does, anywhere. read more

This salon denied doing my hair and setting up an appointment due to my hair being "too dark and too curly" without even meeting me in person. My hair was dyed black two years ago and I called to see if it was possible if they could help lift my black to a darker brown color. I am aware this a damaging process but this is also a very common and basic request that is done everyday. The woman who assisted me on the phone was immediately put in a bad mood after I had simply asked her if she could help me with this and she began to go on a long tirade trying to -- in her own words, "educate" me on basic hair biology that 6 year old could grasp, trying to backpetel out of assisting me due to her prejudice. I contacted this salon to get my hair PROFESSIONALLY done so it wouldn't be that damaged. I'm not sure if she is just incompetent at her job and taking the back seat on this, or just plain lazy. If you can't serve someone with "too dark" and "too curly hair" you have just limited your audience drastically, and I will make sure to let all my friends / women in the Sonoma area know that they will not be supported here. read more

Michelle has been cutting my hair almost 20 years and that speaks for itself. I've been very happy with my hair styles and when my dull hair color needs a lift, Michelle meticulously weaves in the perfect color. Her prices are competitive and her expertise is worth every penny. read more

Etrusca hair design is a savior. I was calling around to get an appointment with other salons and prices sucked and customer service was the worst , then I spoke to Michelle and my gosh the best choice I've ever made with hair dressers. Not only does she do the best job ever she takes what you want and turns it even better than what you expected for yourself, it's seriously amazing how kind and great she is as a stylists. I'm so happy with the results I feel like a new girl, all my friends love my hair. I can't even stay out the mirror I left the salon happier than ever about my new hair Michelle is so sweet! Your the best! My hair is beautiful soft and feels brand new. Since I did come in with different color pigments and very damaged hair , but now everything is perfect . So pleased! I can't wait to be back in the salon.! read more

I am nine months pregnant and having a complicated pregnancy. I scheduled an initial appointment as a treat to myself because I've been having such a hard time then completely forgot because of a potential serious issue with the baby. Where I had to rush to the doctor. The lady called me and I apologized sincerely and asked if I could reschedule. She said no and then went on to berate me like a child for wasting her time. Not only was she extremely rude but she expected me to sit through her lecture even when she said she would not schedule me again?! I hung up on her. No compassion and completely unprofessional. Everyone's time is precious and everyone has things going on and shot happens. I looked at her cuts more and it's all older women and outdated looks. Just going to stick to Aveda where I won't be belittled for having a serious issue come up that was more important than a hair cut. read more
