I am new to the area and had a great experience here with Sonny - she helped my hair vision come to life!

I know it may be pricey but I love coming here because they take care of your hair. The service is quick but attentive. It's a chill environment. read more

I am over the moon with the hair cut and color I got from Mayra at Refinery Salon! After more or less neglecting my hair since before covid (think box bleachings and haphazard retouching of my own ends), I decided it was time to bring my hair back to life. I was scared of the price point at first, but it was worth EVERY. PENNY. Mayra did a consultation with me first and took time to understand what I was looking for, while giving honest feedback about what would be possible. I was thrilled with the highlights she gave me; I legitimately almost cried, and received several compliments from strangers within hours of leaving the salon. She also took time at the end of my appointment to show me a very pretty and easy way to style my curly hair. I will definitely be going back regularly! read more

Refinery Salon - The highlights eliminated the brassiness and harsh, dark roots I was rocking. I'm obsessed with the "finger curls" she gave me. - Hair Salons Near Me - Davis, California

Ambur and the team are all amazing. Ambur listens and pays attention to detail. Always grows out nice too! Highly recommend!

Natasha did such an amazing job! She is a true professional with REAL skills. Probably the best haircut I have ever had. She took her time and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Gave me the exact style I wanted. I am so so happy with the results. My new go to place for haircuts. read more

I am so happy with my haircut! My regular stylist, Amber, was booked up but she was nearby and gave Sonny a few tips. Thanks much, Sonny and Amber! I'm ready for summer adventures! Cathie read more

Myra is great. I had a simple haircut today to keep the style. She really listens to your needs and wants and is so friendly and helpful. I'f highly recommend. thank you Myra read more

I had a humiliating experience with Sonny today! I wanted highlights just on the top of my head. She for some reason didn't understand what I meant. After arguing with me I said just do what ever you want. Then I went back to find her and caught her & Mayra laughing and talking about me in front of another client. She denied it but the other clients heard it as well. I will NEVER go back! read more

You know the drill. Covid made me grow out my long black locks, but the summer heat made it unbearable, sweaty, and gross to look at oftentimes. I needed a change-- and a pick me up. After looking at the reviews and the prices on Yelp, I decided Refinery Salon would do the trick. I chose Mayra as my hair stylist/technician for the day. I booked her online for a 3 hour consultation + appointment, wanting a shoulder-length bob with the ends of my hair bleached (like a half-way mark all the way from my ears down). I had a hair inspo board saved on my phone, ready to share at a moments' notice. I was excited to share my desires with Mayra (super sweet upon introduction) and she was honest, "I can't do that". She explained the dye wouldn't apply evenly in a straight line like I envisioned. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't get the "hair of my dreams", but I understood that technically, it wasn't possible. But, she said, she could balayage my hair. She pulled out her pinterest board and showed me a couple of hair inspo pics of her own. "Oooo..." I cooed. I could get with that. Initially, my budget was $200 for the bleach and hair cut situation, but a balayage would put me a little over my initial budget. I appreciated the transparency in price on Mayra's end. She didn't pressure me, but I had room to splurge, so I agreed to a balayage and cut. I felt like a pampered little queen, though all Mayra did was bleach my hair and have a great conversation with me all throughout. Don't get me wrong-- I cannot replicate what Mayra did. She was worth all of the money I paid. Three hours later, my hair was styled and looking like a million bucks. I left feeling great and ready to take on the world with my new hair. Would definitely recommend Mayra! She was really mindful of bleaching my hair in ways that would allow for my roots to grow in naturally, so I wouldn't have to always touch up my roots (ya girl saved up, but not that much). Honestly, I wish Refinery Salon or Mayra had an Instagram account so I could tag them in the mini photoshoot I did afterwards, but Yelp will have to do. Side note: their Covid guidelines were great. Everyone was wearing their masks and socially distanced from other customers. It was always only me and another client in the salon, though the space could have fit more folks. I saw Clorox wipes and disinfectant lining the walls, which was just a nice touch. Their commitment to safety and maintaining professional excellence is admirable. read more

I wanted a new natural look before heading to college. When I was there, I did not have a vision of what hair color I wanted. Thankfully, my stylist, Liz McManus, was super nice and recommended me a style that would fit me. I took her advice and ended falling in love with the finished look. I am going to this salon again. read more

I am so happy with my haircut from Liz McManus! She gave me exactly the cut I was envisioning but somehow even better, and clearly took her time to do a great job without rushing anything. Side bonuses: really comfortable hairwash before the cut, complete with gentle scalp massage that almost put me to sleep; and super easy conversation (which, considering I'm a consummate introvert, says a lot about her ability to read the room). The salon itself is cute, clean, with easy street parking in downtown Davis. I also really appreciated the convenient online scheduling on their website - was able to book a next-day haircut on a whim! read more

Refinery Salon - Asked for subtle curtain bangs and layers - Hair Salons Near Me - Davis, California

Sam is the best "cutter" I have encountered in 50 years and living in SF for 30 years... I had some pretty high-end stylists.

Amazing! Got my hair cut here and got beautiful face framing layers and curtain bangs. Very nice staff and clean store

I had wanted a Bob haircut but hesitated for a long time due to fear that I wouldn't look good with it. Natasha was a gem, she listened thoughtfully and understood what I wanted. Natasha professionally delivered an A-line Bob cut which perfectly framed my face to give me a slimmer and youthful look. The hair cut has layers of complexity and volume. The result was even more impressive than I could ever imagine. I highly recommend Natasha to anyone who wants a Bob haircut. read more

I love seeing Liz McManus! I've been searching for a hair salon that actually knows what they're doing and I've found it here. Liz is always accommodating and truly cares about your hair health. She's a blast to talk to and the time flies. The salon is quaint with chill music and atmosphere. Very clean and welcoming. read more

I discovered the Refinery Salon in Davis. It is a fantastic salon. I really enjoy the atmosphere, and my stylist Liz has got to be one of the best stylus colorist that I have had the pleasure to get my hair done by! I will be going to the refinery as my salon. Every time I need my do changed read more

I had fantastic service with Mayra. I might have been a challenging customer because I was a little vague about what I wanted. She gave me good advice based on what I asked, and offered tips for how to style my newly curly/wavy hair. I really felt like she took time to get to know me a bit and listened to what I was trying to ask for. The only reason I'm giving less that 5 stars is because the other two stylists in the main room of the salon when I entered didn't say a thing, just let me and one other person wait until another stylist came out to see to us. If I hadn't had an appointment and were trying to make one, I'd have turned right around. Thank goodness Mayra made it an awesome experience! I'll be going back to her again. read more

We love this salon! After years of cutting my daughter's very thick hair at home, we decided to go to a professional. We normally book with Sam (who is awesome) but she was booked for months and recommended Liz (who my daughter liked right away). My daughter was feeling particularly chatty, asking a million questions and sharing random tidbits about her life. Not sure Liz needed to know what my daughter had for breakfast or how milk affects her tummy, but Liz knows it all now. Ha! Thank you Liz for being so patient and kind and giving my daughter an amazing haircut. She walked out of the salon with so much confidence, it was fun to watch. She's already asking when we can go back. I also wanted to mention Mayra who cuts my hair. I don't get my hair cut often and had been struggling to find a salon I liked. I had been to a few others before finding Refinery but never liked how my hair grew out afterwards. Mayra is a master of giving you a gorgeous cut that lasts. She's also very knowledgable and super sweet. You really can't go wrong with any of the stylists there. read more

Sam, you're the best. It took me years to finally find a stylist who can cut my insanely thick curly/wavy hair and get it right. Will only come to you now that I've found you! read more

Refinery Salon - Samantha's work on crazy thick curls - Hair Salons Near Me - Davis, California

... I've spent the past year searching for someone, anyone, to provide me with a hair-style cut. I'm not even certain that's a thing... but IMO that's exactly what I received from Natasha today. My hair rocks and I have her to thank. Thank you, Natasha!!! As I'm writing this, I'm realizing that I've spent the past 5 years or so just getting my hair cut. I walk-in with long hair and walk out with short hair. No matter who cut it, it was basically the same cut every time. Today, Natasha listened to my requests and hair desires and fulfilled them. Like spot-on. I'm so very happy :) Natasha is very personable and a great communicator. I've already booked my next appointment with her. I highly, highly recommended Refinery Salon. If today's experience represents the whole of the salon, then there's great stuff goin on here. read more

Liz is wonderful as a stylist and as a person! I have very dense, wavy hair that takes a little extra time and care, and she always blows me away with cut and highlights! read more

Just had my first haircut in a year at Refinery Salon and it looks so fresh and nice. I can't use so many products and they were so knowledgeable and understanding about my chemical sensitivities. I will be back! Thank you so much read more

Will always, always recommended Mayra! She's been my go-to for a little over a year now and kills it every time. She listens to exactly what I want but also gives me advice and adjusts what I want to what will actually work for me. She's truly the best! read more

One of the best haircuts I've ever had! The atmosphere is really welcoming, comfy and chill with a great decor aesthetic. Everyone who was working there was kind, knowledgeable and attentive. Sonny especially took great care of me and I'm looking forward to coming back to upkeep this fun, new style. read more

Sam always does an amazing job with my difficult hair. She listens to what I want and follows through accordingly. I get the best cut from her and my color is perfect. read more

Samantha and Amber saved us! My girls(15 and 19) and I had just awful COVID induced hair. Split ends and scraggly. These ladies tamed our manes! My youngest had Amber cut off her waist length locks into a chic modern bob - a total transformation. They were also really wonderful to work with making it easy for us to get concurrent appointments. We were the only clients in the salon so we felt safe. The salon was clean and they took safety and sanitizing seriously. Wish we could score higher than 5. read more

I booked an appointment here because I could book online and they had great yelp reviews. I have curly hair and have had my fair share of bad haircuts so I am always super skeptical when I come to a new place for a haircut. I went in with two requests, my color to be darkened, and for my hair length to change as little as possible. My appointment was Ginger and she was super receptive to my requests and sensitive to my haircut anxiety. I was the only appointment at that time, so I waited for her to arrive to the salon before my appointment started. Once we were both settled, I told her what I wanted and she set off to work. I ultimately left with exactly what I had requested. My dark color has been restored, and I maintained my length while only giving a little trim to make sure it was healthier. If you're looking for a place to get your hair done in Davis this is a great option! read more

I absolutely appreciate Amber's gifts & talents with hair. Her skill always shines through & I never regret her input or the end result! I always love the movement in my hair that Amber creates. Every time I try a new salon (even though I don't get my hair cut all that often) I always miss Amber's touch. My hair is always revived & fresh after my appointment at Refinery. Love the staff too! read more

Had a haircut with Mayra in November 2020 and it went wonderfully! Mayra is the newest addition to the salon and I highly recommend her! She's super easy going and is attentive to your preferences. I went in for a trim and new layers. Just wanted to show the cut styled at the salon and styled by me. read more

Refinery Salon - Haircut by Mayra on wavy hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Davis, California

I started going to Refinery after having decided to grow my hair out. So glad I did. My last cut with Liz was outstanding and she had great advice on how to achieve my desired look. Very friendly staff. I'll definitely continue using them as my go to salon for hair cuts. read more

Samantha cut my hair at the exact length I wanted (slightly below shoulder-length), but she was very rough when she washed my hair and combed it. I have an extremely sensitive scalp so the entire process was very painful. I have never had a painful haircut before. It felt almost as painful as getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist! In all fairness, I did not tell her that she was being too rough and causing me a lot of pain. read more

Natasha is amazing! She gave me exactly what I asked for and the color and style that I wanted. It's hard to find a good blonde colorist, and she's the best! I'm tempted to keep this a secret so that I can easily get appointments, but she's too good and deserves a good review! read more

I'm new to the area and have tried a few other salons but haven't found anyone who listened to me as well as Natasha. I wanted a casual mid-length bob that didn't look heavily styled. My haircut is beautiful and the price is average for the area. read more

What a lovely experience and I am so happy with my cut and color. Highly recommend this salon. Amber is an expert.! I can see why they get all five stars on Yelp. Definitely my new "go to" place in the future for my color and cut. Thank you!!! read more

It has taken me years to find a good stylist, but I finally found her. Amber is incredible. I have been to so many salons where people don't know what they're doing, push products on you and charge you an arm and a leg. Amber did none of that. She was on time, knowledgeable, listened to what I wanted and didn't push any products. I have had curly hair my whole life and have a curly routine I like. I despise when stylist push me to buy product and specifically from them in the salon. Also, the wash was super relaxing and the technician (didn't catch her name!) did a really nice job with the scalp massage. The experience was just what I was looking for and I've already recommended Amber to two friends. It's too bad she doesn't have more availability! But I think that's a sign of a good stylist. read more

As always, Natasha provides me with precision cut hair. She is excellent to work with and gives her complete attention to her work. My time with Natasha always is enjoyable and I would come in for her lovely hair wash and amazing scalp massage even if I never needed another cut. Luckily, I get to visit her every 8-12 weeks. read more

I've come here and got my hair cut by Liz 3 times and so far each time has been amazing. As someone with textured hair it's been hard to find someone who can execute my visions for my hair and she has done it perfectly every time. The whole energy in the salon is amazing, everyone is always so friendly and open to conversation. read more

Today was my first time visiting this Refinery salon and I absolutely loved my experience here. I came for a much needed haircut and got a beautiful style from Mayra. She was so kind and friendly and everyone in the salon was welcoming. I highly recommend coming here for all your hair styling needs, especially haircuts! read more
