Just saw Amy for the first time for an eyebrow wax and she did amazing! My brows look so good & shaped perfect. Her space was super cute & clean and the salon is super cute as well! They also had a sweet doggie to greet me when I walked in. :) Will definitely be back! read more

I have had my hair done here for years. The stylists are all good. The aesthetician Angela also is wonderful. They offer a lot and in a beautiful clean Salon. They are located downtown Petaluma, so plan on lunch while you are here ! read more

Being fairly new to Petaluma, I was on the search for a great hair salon (it took me 4 different nail salons before I found the best one for me). Well the owner at the nail salon mentioned Mockingbird Heights, so I gave her girl, Gabbie, a try. Wow, was I ever lucky!!! I got the best hair coloring with highlights ever!!! I love it!! Such a sweet gal also, very nice shop. read more

Michelle is amazing! So happy I found her. I have curly hair and I finally found someone who knows how to cut it!

I have always been nervous to get hair cuts because I have really fine hair and I've had a lot of not great hair cuts in my lifetime. My sister in law recommended this place to me and promised me of I went to Tiffany that I would have the best haircut of my life, and she wasn't kidding. I can't go to anyone else anymore because Tiffany is just amazing. She works with whatever kind of hair you have and talks about how to treat it and style it, plus the products she recommends and uses are all amazing. She is also super friendly and really sweet. She is the owner of the salon and she makes sure that everyone there has a great experience. I was offered champagne or tea last time I was there and snacks too. Coming here is a great experience and it's really nice to know that I'll leave with an amazing hair style! read more

Mockingbird Heights - Fresh cut and beautiful highlights! - Hair Salons Near Me - Petaluma, California

First things first--Thanks to all the previous yelpers who steered me in Barb Thompson's direction! I made an appointment to get my haircut after having done nothing with it for almost a full year. It was lackluster, I was frustrated. I got lost on the way (I am new to town), showed up late, had to stop the blow dry midway through to keep a work conference call, killed my phone battery, locked my keys in my car....sound like a bad day to you? Well it wasn't, for one reason only: Barbara Thompson! She didn't hesitate for a split second in helping me in every single way she possibly could. What a gem! After all the mini nightmare's life tried to throw my way that day, I walked out of that salon smiling ear to ear--the way a girl does when she's just received the haircut she always wanted but never knew how to ask for. =) read more

This review is for Makeup by Jenny Bello. I was really intrigued by the very fair price Jenny offered for bridal makeup. We had a great trial run, but in the end, fiance confessed he wanted something a little more "me". I told Jenny the day of the wedding and she whipped out another beautiful look, with dramatic yet subtle eyes, framed by beautifully applied false lashes and shimmering eye shadow. My skin looked flawless and the best part is, my makeup lasted all day. I felt so beautiful! Jenny is sincerely a very talented make up artist - and she's super nice, too. I felt so comfortable in her chair, like I was playing with makeup with a close friend. Don't hesitate to book Jenny for your wedding day - you won't regret it! read more

Mockingbird Heights - Beautiful bridal Makeup by Jenny Bello - Hair Salons Near Me - Petaluma, California

Mockingbird Heights is a hidden gem in Petaluma. I used to get my nails done next door and would see all these gorgeous women walking in and out of the salon. You know you can't go wrong when the owner and stylists all have amazing hair! The salon itself is a beautiful oasis (check out the bathroom) you wouldn't expect for the location. They use all top of the line products and have introduced me to some great treatments for my hair. I have to say I am one of the lowest maintenance people you will meet, and I swim - so I have super damaged hair. My hair is very thin and fragile but I have a lot of it. The real treasure is Francesca Dente (AKA the original Frankie). She has done my color and cuts for the past year and has literally transformed my hair. My hair is the longest, healthiest, and most beautiful it has ever been (in 34 years)! I highly recommend you book an appointment with her - she is an all around sweetheart and she knows her stuff when it comes to hair. You will not be disappointed. read more

I have a lot of hair ... and its thick ... but Tiffany always finds a way to make it awesome! She does my normal haircuts and is a joy to converse with. All the products she uses for my hair (shampoo, conditioner, and thermal protector) makes my hair really silky and soft. Tiffany is so great, I had to ask her to do my up-do for my wedding last week. She opened an hour earlier for me on Saturday, and helped calm me down before the big event. She was able to create a hairstyle that allowed me to keep my veil between three tiers of curls so that people could see my hairbun, but also keep the veil lower in the lower part of my head. Despite the complexity, and the vast amount of hairpins in my head, the up-do didn't hurt all day. Everything kept in its place, even in 90 degree Cloverdale-weather. I also had Jenny Bello (love her last name!) do my makeup for my wedding. Her work is exceptional! I had never gotten my makeup done before, and she was really nice to accommodate to my requests to keep it looking natural. Nothing looked caked-on, the colors blended in really well (no color disparity at the hairline/neck area) and my eyes looked really big and round (a huge advantage when you're Asian). The makeup stayed on me all day - I never got oily, or felt like there was a huge amount of "stuff" on my face. At the end of the day, I was desperate to figure out a way to preserve my makeup for eternity because I was so in love with it! I'm so thankful that Tiffany and Jenny were there for me on my wedding day. I couldn't have asked for better stylists. Last but not least, I have to mention that the interior to Mockingbird Heights is gorgeous - it feels warm, luxurious, and relaxing. I love going into the little back room to pick up my robe and get my pampering on! read more

Michelle is amazing. There are not enough words in my vocabulary to explain and describe what a wonderful experience it is to be pampered at Mockingbird Heights. Not only do I recieve a glass of champage (sometimes 2) but I walk out feeling gorgeous. I have a shorter bob style haircut, it's been 3 months and I am still getting compliments. Michelle is an artist. She cut my hair when it was long into beautiful layers, and now short sassy and feminine. She also does great with curls. My friend has rediculous curls and always walks out looking fabulous. Michelles shears are magical... Did I mention that I come to Petaluma from New York to get my hair styled? I have an appointment this week and I am obviously very excited!!! :) read more

I have been meaning to post a review for a while, and today was the perfect opportunity. I have been going to Mockingbird Heights for the better part of a year - I have been to Ashley three times now. As a preface, I am super picky and not always the best at communicating what I want. On top of that, I have deceptively thick hair that has proven to be a struggle to get the right cut for in the past. I chose Mockingbird Heights based on Yelp reviews and just happened to end up with Ashley - boy, was I lucky! First of all, the shop is classy and cute - it is relaxing to be in and a nice escape from mommy-world ;) I love when I am in there and the glass of bubbly is a plus as well! Right of the bat, Ashley just seemed to know what I wanted. I had a picture with me and she nailed it! All three times, I have received the best cuts and color I have ever had in my life! Each time we have tweaked the cut and color a little and it has been great! The last time, Ashley styled my hair a little differently, and I love it (so does my hubby!)! I did need to go back and have a little bit of my crazy-thick hair thinned out, but Ashley worked me in (around my kids' nap schedule) and fixed it in seconds! I feel like she listens to me and, even better, understands me when I don't always communicate well. I love this place and Ashley and can't recommend it enough! Thanks, Ashley! read more

Had my first experience here today. Wonderful. I have been a client of Stephanie's (the new esthetician on staff ) for 10+ years. Of course I'm a fan of the best, and thats her. But this Salon...wow. Clean, upscale, professional, tech savvy, very well appointed. It had a kind of oasis feel to me...calm elegance for a busy woman to step into , indulge, then jump back out into the world renewed. Looking forward to exploring their other salon offerings. And, of course, sticking with my favorite esthetician, Stephanie ! read more

Mockingbird Heights is the cutest boutique salon and located in Petaluma - close to home....two great bonus' for me. The third and best of all is finding Michelle - she listened to what I wanted and had the confidence to suggest another idea which turned out to be awesome! She is a talented artist and gifted stylist and did a fabulous job on my crazy textured short hair. read more

I tried this place and got Frankie. After cutting for a bit she told me she was scared to cut more. I had pictures but she didn't want to see them. She said she understood what I wanted. I wanted to cry. I hated my hair. If I'm going to spend $100 plus for a haircut. I expect a more confident hairdresser and not to hate my hair when I leave. read more

I drive from Monterey to Petaluma to get my haircut here. Barb is the bombbbbb. A friend of mine got me into her, and she chopped my hair into an asymmeticral bob on the first appointment!! LOVE IT!! You can have tea or champagne while getting your hurr did, KMS and Bumble and Bumble products and M&M's staring you in the face every corner you turn! Highly, highly reccomended. read more

MBH is an amazing place where everyone is talented. I can go to anyone there (and have-Tiffany, Jules, Frankie, Michelle, Barb) and be well taken care of. Of note I love Julianne's entire body of work she's ever done on me for the last 5 years and Barb does an amazing cut that is something special. Both are always booked because they are just that good. I fit into their schedule wherever they will take me. Tiffany the owner has created quite a salon that I would recommend to anyone. I used to get my hair cut and colored in SF and NY when I lived there and this salon is on par with the best city salon I've encountered. read more

Tiffany, the business owner, is excellent at her craft. She also ensures any hairdresser working at her establishment are stylish and consistent in generating amazing results for the clientele. I've followed Tiffany from salon to salon have commuted as far as from NYC to have her create hair magic. read more

I love Mockingbird Heights...The salon is very cute inside and everyone is so friendly. Barbara Thompson gives the best haircuts and colors and just about anything your hair could want. She is amazing. My mom and I have been going to her for years. She is very easy to talk to and always knows whats is best for my hair. After many hair salon nightmares she is my saving grace. The prices are great too. read more

Great salon! I've only recently started coming here for regular a cut/highlight and couldn't be happier. Beautiful, understated salon very friendly staff and Frankie does a super job! read more

I have been going to this salon for a few years and love Michelle who is my stylist. When I called and found she was out on maternity leave, I booked my appointment with Frankie for a cut and Ashley for color. They both were great - very professional and knowledgeable. I especially needed my hair highlighted/lowlighted this time as it had been a while and was looking pretty awful to me. Once we discussed what I was hoping to do, Ashley did her magic and I felt a ton better walking out of there. Within 24 hours I had 5 people compliment me on my hair and color. She did an amazing job and I really appreciate her. She also was easy to talk to and listened to what I wanted to do with my hair. Everyone at this salon is of the highest quality and they take their profession seriously. They want to make you feel and look better when you walk out of there and I always feel amazing. read more

Gabby is a miracle worker!! Long story short, my hair was NOT looking good when I walked in. I had had a dye job from hell at another salon, a "fix" that made it worse, and then attempted to cover it up myself at home which left me with a (very unintentional) red and green tinge that looked awful! I lived with it for a couple months to give my hair time to heal, and then an acquaintance recommended Mockingbird for when I was ready to try again. I was weary, as I was afraid to let anyone touch my hair after that terrible prior incident, but Gabby was SO friendly and patient and real with me, and made me feel at ease. She took time to talk with me and explain all the options and put up with all my questions and hesitations. She made sure I understood that it might take a few sessions to get it perfect, and I'm happy to say that I'm VERY content with the way things turned out even just during that first appointment! I finally feel confident about my hair again! Thank you, Gabby!! read more

Gabby cut my hair. She did a really good job and was very friendly. She cut a little bit off at a time which I liked because that way she didn't cut too much. I would come here again read more

Beautiful salon in Petaluma, had my hair cut and styled by Jenny and she did a fabulous job! Had a brief consulatation and she went over exactly what she was going to do and took the time to educate me on how to keep the style at home. Having champagne during the cut is always an added bonus! I have found my new stylist! read more

Just had my daughters hair cut by Colette. She did a beautiful job. She was great! Also it is a beautiful salon.

Yeah, this place is as amazing as all the reviews are raving. I was referred to Juliann by a friend and I am SO happy to have a new stylist. Juliann is talented, amazing, sweet and an all around beautiful person. I am so happy with my cut and color that will tell everyone about this place. read more

Jenny Mattos did the hair and make-up for my bridesmaids, my mom, my husband's mom, and me last weekend for my wedding. I received so many compliments! My mom and sister cried when she was done with me. Everyone looked so good! My updo also lasted the whole night. read more

My former colorist Jennifer now works here and I missed her so much. I was never able to find someone to do "blonde" like her after she left to go on maternity leave from her former employer. It is a bit of a hike from Southern Marin but well worth getting my color done right! I highly recommend Jennifer in her new location. The salon is well appointed, feels new and Jennifer does an amazing job. read more

Amazing place... I decided to try this place after a friend urged me to. I let the receptionist decide who to put me with for highlights... She put me with Barbara. I've been goin ever since, and she's always been great. Her cuts are great, and her highlights and coloring are amazing. She's also very friendly and easy to talk to. Turned me from a $15 bad cut to a priceless experience... read more

Let me just say I have very long, thick hair which can be very overwhelming for some stylists to deal with. This review is for Tiffany and Michelle. I started going to Tiffany when mockingbird heights first opened and she always did an excellent job on my hair. It was shorter then but she spent time making sure my layers were perfect so that it never looked too bulky. I recently moved back to the area after graduating and was in desperate need of a cut ASAP. Tiffany's hours are more limited now that she has had a baby and my friend had highly recommended Michelle so I decided to give her a try. I generally get stylists who are very scissor happy with my long hair, so I feel like I constantly have to defend my reasoning for wanting to keep it long and alway end up with a much shorter length then I want. When I sat down with Michelle she simply said to me, "you know, we don't have to make it shorter if you don't want." Point being, she wanted to give me exactly what I wanted instead of using my hair as a tool to try out whatever she felt like. She listened to what I wanted and gave me an awesome cut with great layers and kept the length. My hair is 5 lbs lighter and still long. Why is it so hard to find stylists who are willing an capable of giving you what you want? Both Tiffany and Michelle are super talented and have kept my hair looking healthy and great. As somewhat of a hair snob and someone who has tried almost every upscale salon within a 100mile radius (joking...sort of) I can confidently say this is the best salon in Petaluma. They're prices are so reasonable, the salon is very nice, and they've got some really talented girls in there...check it out! read more

Love Mockingbird Heights! A unique, up to date salon in Petaluma with friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend Ashley for cut and color. Not only is she the sweetest but has a good eye for style. I dread coloring my hair but have not a worry in my mind that Ashley will do a great job! read more

Tried 2 different hairstylists here. Mediocre haircuts that are very overpriced. The Petaluma Hair Company does a comparable, if not better job, for about 60% of the cost. read more

You won't be sorry for trying this salon or the amazing Jenny Bello!! I have had more than my fair share of hairdressers and salons, but by far this is my favorite! Jenny Bello is amazingly talented!!!! Every time I come in I have a vague idea of what I'd like to do with my hair. I always end up telling Jenny to do something fun and flattering and she makes it work!! I have never been let down! In fact, she has had to save my hair from a complete disaster and I walked out of the salon with a complete transformation! Jenny can work magic!! Don't believe me, book an appointment and go see for yourself! As far as the salon goes, it's very nice and beautifully decorated! Everyone is super nice and helpful and the champagne to sip on just ads to the experience! Go check out Jenny Bello at mockingbird heights---you won't regret it!! read more

If you are searching Yelp to find out who to go to for hair extensions let me HIGHLY recommend Juliann Anello at Mockingbird Heights. I had been getting extensions for years in San Diego and Los Angeles, so when I moved to Sonoma county I was terrified of who to go to. Juliann was recommended by a friend, and I cannot be happier. She is a master at matching color, texture and cutting the extensions, which is the trickiest part. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

"Michelle" was amazing with my 13 year old. Clearly experienced and qualified!! She took the time to ask the important questions and delivered an excellent experience. He loved the cut and we will be back again and again!! read more

I have been going to Jules for years and have always had the most amazing service!! I am always treated like a Queen (and for a working mom of 2) that is rare :). This salon embodies not only amazing stylist but they truly have the art of "service" down pat. I have never experienced such professionalism and quality in my life at any other salon. I am so grateful to Jules for all she has done for me and my daughter who is a major fan of hers as well! Thanks for all you do and to all of you definitely visit MBH!!! Best to you Dolores read more

I've gone to a few different stylists at this salon and they're all quite good. The only problem is that they don't have heat lamps for doing highlights. Most top notch salons have one or more heat lamps in addition to the usual hair dryers so I'd give them a big ding for this. I actually overheard one of the stylists complain about this. read more

I have been coming to this salon for about 3 years now and it is such a relaxing experience....Clean, spacious, and very upscale it is the perfect place for a little "me time". Kirsten has been beautify-ing my hair since I was 16, she is very creative and attentive to detail. I trust her with my life :) Juliann & Barb are amazing as well! Check them out! read more

Barb is the best. I am both painfully indecisive and super critical; turns out this combination isn't the best when you're trying to get your hair done. I think the only inspiration I've ever given is "make me look like a Victoria Secret model" followed by flashing a photo of Lily Aldridge. That said, sitting down with Barb I have no question that what I'll walk out with is exactly what I wanted but couldn't explain. Barb is crazy talented, listens really well to what the client wants and is always professional while still being one of the coolest people you'll probably ever meet. I couldn't recommend her highly enough. read more

This was my third haircut from Frankie. I have developed some problems with my hair. She listened to my needs, and gave me a great cut.

They do a good job with cut and color but there's more pressure than I've ever experienced at a salon to buy their expensive hair products. I was hesitant to post this since there are so many 5 star reviews but I think it's important for people to know before choosing this salon. read more
