You know when you move to a new place and are desperately looking for a colorist who can help you achieve what you only thought possible in your head? I am so lucky to have trusted my gut coming here for a new color. Lacy works magic, I had an idea of what I wanted, but she brought it to life and improved the vision. I enjoyed the vibe of the place, it doesn't feel like a regular salon, it was very cute, and I enjoyed the energy, it feels like your hometown salon where you know you're going to get to know each other very well. I also want to shout out the tableside manners, I felt like each hairdresser bounced off the energy the client was giving them. I found myself having conversations with other customers I don't know. But still very much enjoying myself and feeling very comfortable. Lacy I hope you know that you have a return client! You have gotten me excited about self expression with my hair again. And I know that's a lot for one visit, but I think I had made this appointment at a time I really needed that support. So thank you!! read more

Such a great experience coming to Lacy for my haircare needs.. because she did a full recovery on my hair and it turned out beautifully! I highly recommend her for your next hairstylist, shes professional fun and knows her stuff. read more

Frontier Salon - Rosegold/mauve haircolor and cut by Lacy - Hair Salons Near Me - Clayton, California

I forgot I had come here during covid.... I contacted the salon via email last night and was so blessed to have Shelley get back to me regarding a horrible haircut I received elsewhere. She squeezed me in this morning and fixed the big mess of backwards layers I had be given on Thursday. She took her time, figured out what had been done incorrectly and how she could go about fixing it. I gave my input and she did what I asked for as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND SHELLEY! She was so nice and precise and I'm very grateful she fixed my hair before my vacation. Thank you, Shelley! read more

Looking for a trim and Liza did an excellent job. I was able to get an appointment the same day that I called. Cute place that is close by and a lot nicer than going to the nearby great clips. read more

This was my third time going to Lacy and she never lets me down! I'm getting married next month and wanted to be super blonde for my wedding photos. She took her time and made sure my hair looks perfect for the big day. Lacy is knowledgeable, fun to chat with and extremely good at what she does. Would highly recommend her! All the women that work in Frontier are kind and friendly, a truly refreshing experience in a hair salon. I love this place! read more

Four stars is my "average" for Frontier. Three for my initial haircut with a stylist (who I will not name here). And five stars to owner Shelley Baker who made things right. After a week, it was apparent that my bangs were just not right. Shelly heard my angst and fit me in at the end of the day. It only took her a few minutes to correct the damage. Very grateful. Appreciate her professionalism. She knows how to run a business and keep clients happy. read more

Frontier Salon was very homey and very wonderful. Got a great trim and shampoo for a great price. Shelley was very nice and explained everything very well before starting the trim. Definitely will be coming back. read more

First I want to say: THANK YOU!!!! Shelley and Magali where both extremely patient with me when I got lost and came in late to my appointment. They called me and talked me though it and after that I found it no problem. ‍ So moving on from my huge blunder, I came in and was greeted most warmly. The salon itself is charming and comfortable. Like the salon version of the tv show, Cheers. You feel like a big group of old friends. I had a balayage and trim done by the talented Magali. She was awesome! Didn't cut too much off as I'm trying to grow it out and I feel like she understands the picadillos of my unruly hair. The balayage is super pretty and my hair integrity is in tact. I'm not quite where I want to be 'yet color wise but I know its process so my hair doesn't get fried. I appreciate that!! I can't wait to book my next appointment! I have included an after photo. My before is an embarrassing medium/dark brown blotchy home dye job so I'll spare you from that pic. Thank you so much!!! read more

Frontier Salon - Gorgeous balayage and fabulous cut from Magali - Hair Salons Near Me - Clayton, California

I've never been here before and my first comment "Oh, Little House on the Prairie", it's adorable. My hair was very long and out of shape, it's grey and thin. My appointment was with Lacy and as she walked me back to her room I saw that this was the cleanest salon I've ever been. It's beautifully decorated in old time western style and just immaculate. Plus, they are current with all the new styles and colors. I felt like I was in for a treat, and I was. Lacy did a wonderful job and put my hair back into style. Now it's easy to manage and I love it. I think I found a new salon. read more

I had a balayage grown out for almost 2 years and needed a haircut badly. Frontier Salon made it look like I hadn't been neglecting my hair at all. It's a really great salon with an easy going vibe, no pressure by the stylists, and they're very personable. I will be back. read more

Shelley did an amazing job on my hair! I came in wanting to cut off a good amount of length but I have thick and sometimes difficult hair so I have struggled to find a stylist that I trust with it. She got me in the same day and did a wonderful job. read more

I had the best haircut from Silvia! Frontier Salon is located in the charming, beautiful, quaint city of Clayton. This an added bonus because there's always plenty of parking and you never have to worry about feeding the meter while you're conversing with your stylist and enjoying getting your hair done. When I walked up to the salon (BTW, this business is in compliance with the State and CCC health orders in re COVID-19 so rest assured it is very safe here) I was promptly and warmly checked-in for my appointment (especially greeted extra nice by the owner herself, Shelley, who is just delightful). The salon itself is very homey country chic with a pleasant and relaxing vibe. The stylists are all very sweet and down to earth. But what I loved most of all was my experience with Silvia. It's always a scary feeling booking with a new stylist, but Silvia surpassed my expectations and I can't wait for my next visit. She's professional and very easy to talk too. She took my boring dull sparse hair and brought it back to life. I highly recommend her!! read more

This salon is terrible. I've contacted a stylist since the begging of Dec and they never got back to me until a month I let that go since I thought maybe the holidays. So I resent messages and on there multiple phone numbers and Instagram. Got a response a month later saying sorry they were out of town and I asked what I wanted and pricing to set my appointment and haven't gotten any response at all. I tried contacting the salon also and they didn't answer either terrible customer service. Think they're too good for you. Won't be coming back to someone who treats me like that. I put in effort for what to be treated unfairly. read more

SUPER HAPPY with the way my hair came out! Just left this salon and had Carolina wash, cut and style my hair. Had a wonderful experience and loved the feel of the salon and conversation with Carolina. Totally going to refer my friends and family to this place for sure. Thanks for such an awesome treat Carolina, LOVE my hair! read more

I just moved into this area and DESPERATELY needed a haircut as my previous stylist retired during COVID and I hadn't found anyone I wanted to go back to since then, so after a quick search I decided to give Frontier Salon a try. The salon is so cute, clean and organized, and all the stylists were SO nice, I felt very comfortable and welcomed as soon as I walked in. Makenzie did an amazing job with my cut and took the time to explain things to me I didn't know about my own hair (lol, I'm not great at hair!). She listened to what I wanted and made sure I was comfortable with the length I asked for off before she started cutting. Lacey also helped with my cut and we all chatted the whole time I was there. Great experience from start to finish, thank you so much I will definitely be back! :) read more

Just got my 4th crazy fun color by Magali, I went from pink pastel, to bright pink, purple and seal. I am so glad to have found Magali. And I have been wanting to do fun colors for over 2 years and never had the guts until I found this hair salon. I've searched a place I could trust with my hair for 6 months to a year before I found frontier. As soon as I spoke to Magali I was ready to give it a try after 2 years of freaking out. She guide me through the whole process. We struggle with my baby hair growing back from my pregnancy. It was a long road before I could start a color. But then here we are today 10/11 months later I'm going on my 4th fun color. And Magali is just the best. She's amazing and take her job very seriously. I would recommend this place 100000 times if I have to. The girls who work there with Magali are just amaziiing and it's always fun to go there to get some touch up or a hair cut. Thank you Magali for your amazing time and patience you give to my crazy hair. And to the whole team there, you guys always make my visit special! read more

Shelley gave me my dream color for my highlights & she was very careful since I have allergies w/peroxide. I never had an allergy episode during & after my session. She also gave me a very flattering haircut & styling before I step out of her salon. Shelley & the rest of the gals at Frontier are the best! read more

This place is great! I got a few inches off along with face framing layers. Shelley made sure it was exactly what I wanted. She took her time, made sure I liked every step, and even styled my hair. I haven't had the best luck with haircuts in the past but I will be sure to come back to this salon and Shelley again!! read more

I want to start off by saying that I am a senior citizen and I have been unable to find a hairdresser that would suit me. Well, Shelley @ FRONTIER SALON is the answer. I have had Covid twice, and I was just devastated at the state of my hair. She was pleasant, kind and very respectful. She took her time and her energy to really listen to me and to provide me with a beautiful haircut. Shelley has all services. From balayage to highlights, she knows all the latest color and cut techniques. This is NOT a backwards salon. If you require special services or just want to switch to someone who is a cut above every other hairdresser out there, please go see Shelley. I can't thank her enough. After this review, I hope she'll be able to fit me in! Kudos to Shelley and the Frontier Salon! read more

In need of a change from a not so good color elsewhere, I was referred to Nicole at this salon. From our first communication to my appointment I knew that I liked Nicole. She was very clear in setting my expectations for a correction and did not disappoint! She was able to give me the look I wanted while correcting the color I had just gotten elsewhere. I will be returning as a regular thank you Nicole! read more

Carolina SAVED MY HAIR. Had it not been for her and this amazing salon, I would have gone into USC's orientation with hair screwed up via kitchen shears (a bad way to start the college experience). The pictures will bring honesty to my statements. read more

I can't express how happy I am with my cut and color! Jacob worked some special kind of magic and transformed a shapeless mop into an easy to manage style with a color that is so natural, it looks like I was born with it. If you are looking for someone that listens, and will be honest about what you are trying to achieve, Jacob's your guy. He advised me on both style and color, and was spot on. For a cut that is easy to manage at home, and doesn't just look good when you walk out of the salon, give Jacob a call. The salon is very nice too, clean and relaxing. The owner, Shelley, is lovely, as are the other stylists. Great experience in the heart of downtown Clayton! read more

I have been going to Frontier Salon since Shelley took ownership of it. I followed here there from her previous location. Now my teenagers and I both go there. It is a great and convenient location in the heart of Clayton village with parking. If Shelley is busy, she can pair hairdressers based on client needs. We have always been happy with our haircuts, color, and styles. Shelley is very knowledgeable, and she even knows how to cut curly to straight hair! She is also an excellent colorist. We love the shaded porch when we all 3 go together, and the inside is cozy and charming. Her products are high-quality too. I strongly recommend Frontier Salon. read more

Love this place! I've been coming here for years - Shelley always makes my hair look beautiful! She listens to what I want and gives me the best feedback and direction on how to best take care of my hair. I recommend everyone come here. read more

Second time visiting this salon, and seeing Nicole. I love her and the laid back vibe in the salon. My appointment was a bit more involved today so we worked through lunch. It is so nice to be able to relax and when we got hungry she used door dash to order food. We sat out on the patio in back of salon. It was beautiful and the food was yum. Talk about full service, lol. Pics of my hair coming soon! read more

Magali was nothing short of amazing! she made me feel comfortable right away and took away alot of the stuff that was giving me anxiety about my hair. Super friendly! I will def be coming back to get hair done and to bring my little one for her back to school haircut! THANK YOU! read more

Not all hair stylists and colorists and are created equal (as many of us have learned the hard way). And when you finally find a TERRIFIC one, you want to let the world know! If you want all of the following, definitely call Nicole Picazo at 925-305-4861 at Frontier Salon: * Experienced professional (not someone fresh out of school and/or using your hair as a guinea pig); works with full range of clients and hair types * Very knowledgeable colorist (all shades, including blondes!) who knows how to blend color beautifully while creating shiny, healthy hair * Fantastic stylist who truly listens and creates a hairstyle that complements your face and reflects your personality * Caring and responsible person with terrific personality (NO diva/moody behavior; won't flake on you and your appts) * Reasonable pricing (no gouging and/or constant upcharging) I looked a LONG time for all of the above (so many referrals that did not live up to the hype) and am SO grateful I'm finally in good hands. Nicole loves what she does and it shows! My hair has never looked better -- healthy, full, and a beautiful, natural shade of ash blond. I'm not a teenager, either, (over 50) and know what great hair looks like. I'd follow Nicole anywhere and highly recommend her -- you won't be disappointed! read more
