Brandyn is an incredible stylist. She did my color highlights and added extensions, and the result is beautiful -- natural-looking color, seamless extensions, and hair that feels healthy and full. She really listened and made great recommendations instead of just doing whatever I walked in asking for. I left feeling confident and so happy with the look. The salon itself is cute, welcoming, and easy to relax in. If you're looking for color, highlights, or extensions in Napa, book with Brandyn at Hen House. I'll definitely be back. read more

I waited more than a year to write this review because I wanted to understand what happened to my hair before saying anything publicly. I visited Hen House Salon once and saw Katy Jackson Marks. I was new to the Napa area at the time and traveling there frequently for work. Since I expected to spend several months of each year in Napa for the next few years, I wanted to find a salon I could return to regularly. Hen House had good reviews, and the salon itself was quaint, exceptionally clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I was the only client there that day. My appointment lasted approximately four hours and included highlights, a wash, haircut, and blowout. The color turned out very nice. The haircut was okay, although I had specifically requested little to no layering and ultimately ended up with considerably more layers than I wanted. What happened afterward is the reason I am writing this review. Within days of my appointment, I noticed that I was shedding more hair than usual. Initially, I didn't think much of it. However, over the following weeks, the shedding became progressively more concerning--and it continued for approximately 16 months. During that time, I sought medical help, including visits with doctors and a dermatologist and underwent testing to determine what was happening. Ultimately, the issue was attributed to exposure to hair products. I want to be very clear: I cannot prove that my visit to Hen House Salon caused my hair loss, and I am not claiming with certainty that it did. What concerns me is that this salon visit was the only significant change in my hair-product exposure at the time. For several years before this appointment, I had exclusively used organic and natural hair products without experiencing hair-loss or shedding problems. After this appointment, I did not visit another salon or have another professional hair treatment. Yet the shedding that began shortly afterward continued for more than a year. At its worst, I lost approximately 75% of my hair. I also contacted the salon afterward because I wanted to know exactly which products had been used on my hair during the appointment. I requested that information but never received a return call. Given what I was experiencing, that was particularly disappointing. I wasn't looking to assign blame--I simply wanted the product information so that I could try to determine what I might have been exposed to. It has now been more than a year, and my hair is finally growing back and beginning to fill in. The experience affected me enough that I have not allowed anyone else to professionally color or treat my hair since that appointment. Could the timing have been coincidental? Yes, and I think it is important to acknowledge that. But considering the timing, the fact that this was my only salon visit, my previous history of using the same natural products without problems, and what I subsequently learned while trying to determine the cause of the shedding, I personally cannot dismiss the possibility that something used during this appointment contributed to what happened. I wish I had been given the product information when I requested it. At the very least, it might have helped me and my doctors better understand what happened. I can only speak to my own experience. The salon was lovely, the color looked good, and Katy was pleasant during my appointment. Unfortunately, what happened with my hair afterward was significant enough that I would not personally return. read more

Brandyn is absolutely amazing. I came to her with hair that had been broken and fried because another studio made a mistake, and I walked out of the hen house salon feeling and looking amazing. I showed her the original picture that I took to the other salon and she not only did it, but even added a few touches that made it sparkle. This will forever be my salon. I even brought my mom to her so she could fix her hair as well. read more

Love LOVE Katy at Hen House ! I moved to Napa almost a year ago and was in need of finding a new stylist, somehow I was led to Katy , ( I had no thought that I would find my forever stylist) but OH MY GOSH!! Ok I needed color ..bad those pesky grays but also the condition of my hair after wearing extensions for almost 10 years left my hair a hot unhealthy mess so I've been on a mission to get my hair healthy again , I needed a stylist that understood my mission but was also confident that they could safely color my hair without undoing all I've been working at ..I am SO impressed with Katy ! She decided that in order to keep the integrity of my hair we would approach lightening my hair at a slower pace to play it safe (gotta love her for that) and I'm already loving it , it's a process , I get it , and I definitely do not want to damage my hair any further, thank you Katy! Finally a stylist that actually listens to what YOU want and does it as long as it doesn't compromise your hair Oh and fun? This chicky poo is a doll! Easy to talk with, it felt like I've known her for years , I would highly recommend this Salon oh and that's really cute too ! But Katy?? Yes!! She has a client forever ;) skilled fun fantastic ! read more

Go see Jamie!! I've been seeing Jamie for close to a year now, and love everything she does to my hair! She always gives me what I want while maintaining health in my hair. Recently she did extensions for me - my first time ever, and I am IN LOVE from the consult to the installation, she was very meticulous, and even checked in afterwards to make sure I still loved and everything felt good. I am very picky about who touches my hair. I can't recommend her enough. Plus the salon is so cute. read more

Always an amazing experience at Hen House leaving you feeling gorgeous and like a new person.

Amazing! Alyssa takes the time to make your hair and experience great. My hair always feels soft and looks good leaving the salon.

I've been seeing Ally for almost 9 years now and cannot thank her enough for transforming my hair! Not only is she incredibly talented, but so personable, thoughtful and precise with her work. My mother flies up to Napa from LA, every single month to see her as well. I've never met a better color specialist and my hair has never looked better (and healthier!) I cannot recommend her enough to my close friends, clients and colleagues. And have never had more compliments on my color until she started working on my hair. Thank you Ally! You're the best! read more

I have been a client of Danielle Alvarez for over 15 years and she is the best! She has taken me from brunette to blonde to red and back. I am super picky about my hair and always trust her skills! Plus she is super sweet and easy to talk to. read more

I came from out of state for a wedding and needed my hair and makeup done for the event. I found Hen House through online reviews and was lucky enough to work with Alyssa. She was amazing! I described what I wanted and showed her maybe one picture and she made it happen. Communication was clear and she arrived right on time without any issues. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for hair & makeup! read more

Can't recommend Jamie enough! She's our go-to for the entire family. Recently for me, she suggested a shoulder length lob. I love it and have never gotten more compliments. Jamie has a talented eye for what looks good with faces and hair types and is so easy to talk to and work with. She's made suggestions about products to use for my kids that have really helped, but never pushed or made me feel pressured. We all love coming to see her! read more

Jamie is amazing, as a person and a hair stylist! Highly recommend! She pays attention to the details and has delivered quality cuts and color! Love the ambiance of the salon as well and always feel welcomed. read more

My hair looks beautiful, I'm so happy with my cut from Jamie! She listened to exactly what I wanted, and cut/styled it so much better than I imagined. I've been searching for a new hairdresser in Napa and I'm so happy I found her. Thanks so much Jamie! read more

Alyssa is AMAZING!!! I have been coming to her for many moons and as you know blondes tend to change their minds a ton about tone. She is super educated on lived-in-blonde vibes and understands what works best with your skin tone. Love love love my color right now. Super glossy and looks healthy. Lots of compliments on the color! Highly recommend. read more

To say I'm particular about my hair would be an understatement, and after researching many stylists in Napa, I'm so glad I found Ally! She has an amazing talent for both cutting and styling hair. Ally is not only skilled but also such a pleasure to chat with during each visit. I've recommended her to a few friends, all of whom have been thrilled with their results, and my husband is now a client as well. The salon itself is adorable, cozy, and has a great vibe--making each appointment a truly enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a stylist you can trust, look no further than Ally. I can't recommend her enough! read more

My highlights always turn out so well and the toner is perfect! You will walk out of the salon with stunning hair every time! read more

This review is for Jamie. She's amazing. I hate finding new hair stylists because of some traumatic hair color experiences in my past. I will search for reviews before committing to a new person and so want to help out the next person looking. I recently moved to the area and put off doing my hair for as long as possible. I saw some pictures of Jamies hair and read good things about her so I decided to give it a try. It was such a good experience. My hair is curly and in my opinion hard to get a flattering cut correctly. I love the cut she gave me. She adviced me that I needed certain layers around my face that would compliment the structure of my face. She wasn't wrong. It's such a easy style to upkeep also as I'm lazy and often can't be bothered to spend a lot of time styling it. The color also turned out so good. Again I'm more low maintenance Color kind of girl. Stick to my highlights/low lights and want the grow out to look seamless because I don't go as often as some people. So far I can't even see the grow out. The color blended beautifully and really complements my base color. This all takes several hours and can feel like a whole day but I honestly didn't feel like much time had passed when I was done because I enjoyed talking to her so much. The place itself is very cute and an enjoyable place to be. I just really feel like I hit the jackpot here. read more

Book with Samantha. She is down to earth, knows her hair care/cut and color services. One of things I like the most about her is she is okay if I just want to relax and not socialize. Getting your hair done is meant to be a relaxing self care thing and Sam understands that. She takes care of her clients well and is reliable and friendly. Love Sam! read more

I was looking for a quick visit and wanted a spur of the moment hair cut and keratin treatment to help my frizzy hair. I was lucky enough to get a hair appointment at Hen House Salon with Jamie! She not only was able to fit me in but took the time to listen to what I wanted and gave me a great haircut and hair treatment! read more

Jamie is amazing!! I was in town for Bottle Rock and wanted to look my best for the weekend. I booked her for a blowout and it was hands down the best experience I've ever had with a stylist. I have longer hair that's pretty flat and limp but she made it look fabulous. So full and shiny. Great body and it held curl throughout a weekend of dancing. Just a little dry shampoo in the morning brought everything back. Go see Jamie the next time you want to feel your best!! read more

Finding Hen House Salon was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Everyone I worked with was extremely helpful during the whole process. I can't thank them enough for making my wedding party look amazing! I first contacted Brandyn, the owner, with some specifics of what I had in mind. She didn't have exact match but sent me similar examples that demonstrated she understood what was looking for. Alyssa nailed my makeup trial on the first try with the inspiration photos that I provided. Kendall let me try a few options at my hair trial to help me figure out what I liked best since I was still undecided and unsure. In the month up to the wedding, Kendall was already helpful in providing guidance on scheduling the day to ensure we had enough time to accommodate everyone. On the day of my wedding, both showed up on time. Because Alyssa documented her work from the trial, she easily replicated the makeup look plus made some changes I requested. Kendall did the same - while we didn't use the styles we tried at the trial, she was still able to replicate the look based off of an inspiration photo. My bridesmaid described them as "making magic". And my MOH, who doesn't usually wear makeup, looked both incredible and comfortable. We finished ahead of schedule with a whole hour to kill. One caveat is that I was not required to have a contract, largely in part due to COVID, which has its pros and cons. Most people would probably advise this and I will admit it did make me a little nervous. But I was in constant contact with someone and they were able to accommodate any changes that I needed . read more

I have been wanting to get back into my self care era but hadn't pulled the trigger. Finally did today with Jamie and she is AMAZING!!!!!! Took me last minute and was able to give me exactly what I had envisioned (which we all know usually doesn't pan out). Absolute great experience! Will definitely be returning and faithfully. read more

Its been years, time to update my review. Just so you know, I drive down from Reno every 4 weeks to see Brandyn and the hens of the house. Every gal is great, when Brandyn is on vacation, the gals will fill in and use my hair card to make sure my color formula is right. I have never been cancelled on and I get white glove service every time. I consider Brandyn to be family and I have been going to her since she was 22, she is my ride or die in the hair world. I get asked all the time if I am a hairstylist, cause my hair is always on point, she is an artist and my head is her canvas. This shop is the BEST, and I will continue to be the #1 fan of Hen House Salon! read more

I was so happy with my visit to Hen House Salon. Jamie worked wonders and even went out of her way to get me cut and colored in the same appointment! I really felt well taken care of and so appreciated the time she spent. She is friendly, easy to talk to and makes sure your time at the salon is enjoyable. I went in not knowing what I wanted, but that I wanted a change. She helped me decide what would look good without doing anything too drastic. I ended up with a lob that I love and excited to make Jamie my go to stylist! read more

I love this place. High quality hair services that keep my grays at bay. Easy to book. I've seen Brandyn and Alyssa and they're both excellent. I like that they're not weird if you see a different practitioner, they're a team salon. Super cute shop, very nice ambiance. They usually do an extra long relaxing shampoo which is heavenly. Recommend. read more

So happy that I found Hen House Salon after relocating to Napa Valley. Brandyn is an awesome stylist with tons of experience.

This review is way overdue. I came in with frizzy, pandemic box dyed hair and Samantha brought it back to life with ease! I haven't been in love with my hair like this in a long time. She really listened to what I wanted, let me know any suggestions she had, and executed perfectly. My hair is on the wavy, dry, thick side and hard to work with so I've bounced around a lot trying to find someone that can handle it and I'm not going to anyone else! Photo credits to Samantha! Thank you so much, girl! Can't wait to come back for some maintenance and to try out any other hairstyles/colors with you! read more
