I needed a last-minute cut and scheduled with the salon via text (since I've been there before and had their contact). The scheduling was quick and easy, with the employee on the other end being so professional, helpful, and kind. I ended up going with a new stylist since my usual stylist was booked. The employee told me her name (the new stylist) was Emilee and I was booked for Friday at 6:45pm. When I arrived, the place was fairly empty - an unusual experience for me since I typically go on a weekend morning/afternoon when it's busy. It was nice to enjoy the space without many people! The salon is clean, beautiful, and comfortable, with different products decorating the main front wall. I checked in with front desk attendant (who was very kind) and only had to wait a couple minutes before Emilee came to get me. I was not only her last appointment for the day, but the very last appointment for the entire salon! It was a neat experience! Emilee is an absolute gem of a human. She immediately made me feel comfortable with her welcoming warmth and kindness. She is so down-to-earth and genuine; it felt like I was chatting with a friend! She gave me everything I wanted with my haircut, checking in with me every so often to see how I felt about the length, part, and side bangs. She even showed me a trick on how to calm down my fly-aways/new growth (a neat technique with a special comb and a little hairspray). Emilee truly made this experience probably the best salon experience I've ever had! May we all be so lucky to meet an Emilee in our lives! So grateful for her and this experience; looking forward to coming back! :) read more

I have been coming here for the past 5 years and my hair has done a 180 recovery. It is healthy and long. Susan is a magician when it comes to hair care. She takes time and care when coloring hair and haircuts are amazing. She will advise and consult before anything major is to take place. The place is huge and they have a wide selection of hair care products to purchase for your hair care needs. They also offer coffee and water for your visit. read more

My haircut was great it looks really good. However, I was charged for a curly haircut when I requested a regular haircut. I have had a curly cut here previously where she cut my hair dry with its natural texture, and then washed it and touched it up. This time, I came in with my hair straightened and had what I would consider a normal haircut. When I said that I had not received a curly cut, I was told that because of the texture of my hair, this service was still considered a curly cut which costs more than a normal haircut. I was not informed of this when booking or before the service. Quite frankly, I have wavy hair at best so this is just disappointing. read more

I sent out a text and this salon squeezed me in for wedding guest blowout. Delightful hairdresser. Knew and used all the right products for the heat and humidity. Loved the vibe. If I lived here, I'll be a regular. read more

Had a great experience at Salon Patine! As a guy who has been getting my hair done a Supercuts for a while I figured it was time to try something nicer. Was very pleased with the experience. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. My stylist, Cecilia, took the time to understand what I was looking for and was certain to address any questions or concerns I had. I will also say I've had some awkward haircuts where it's a lot of just silence and nothing being said. Cecilia was a great conversationalist and genuinely seemed interested in talking to me and making me feel welcome. All around great experience. Absolutely plan to be back for my next cut! read more

I'm very glad I was able to find Salon Patine. The entrance hides the fact that the salon is super big with a modern chic vibe inside. I was booked with Andrea, she is amazing and listened to all my issues/wants with my hair. I'm loving the cut, she recommended some cool products as well. Prices are great compared to other places and they hand you a mini gift on your way out. read more

The salon itself is clean, modern, and brightly lit, making it a really pleasant place to be. Susan is my go-to stylist and my favorite person there. She's amazing at fun, layered haircuts and always understands what I'm going for. I recently asked for a shag cut--she gave me a really authentic one, and while I wasn't sure about it at first, I came back and she adjusted it. Now I LOVE it. She was so understanding and made sure I left happy. Susan is also just fun to be around--friendly, easy to talk to, and someone I genuinely look forward to seeing at each appointment. Highly recommend her and the whole team at Salon Patine! read more

Nathalie is amazing! I went in for my first-ever color (balayage), and it turned out perfectly. She mixed the exact right color based on my description and was detail-oriented and thorough.

Went in today for my first appointment here and it was great! I arrived early and was greeted right away. Charlie did a great job and listened to all of my hair concerns and hair goals. We did a blonde money piece and a trim, and she helped me learn a bit about how I should be caring for my hair to reach my desired hair vibes. They also had a special if you buy two products you get to spin a little wheel which had some travel size products, discounts, and other cool options. read more

Salon itself if pretty clean and have no issues with parking. My stylist Zaira was also really sweet and took her time . Really thorough consult. I showed her my inspiration pics and she talked me through them making sure I understood how much styling I would have to do to make it look like the photo. She was very sweet and I felt so bad bc I have such thick hair it took her a little bit but she did great. She did a full foil balayage with cut and shadow root. My hair came out so pretty. She recommended a tone color she thought I'd like and she was right. What I did like was that if she had a question regarding something she had the senior stylists help or the owner. And I love that she's asks for help when she needs it. How else do you grow? In this field there's always new techniques, styles and we're always learning. I can't wait to see her grow in her field. Great job Zaira! read more

This was my second time seeing Charlie at Salon Patine and I am so happy! This was the first salon I tried after moving to SB and was so relieved to have found someone who knows how to work with wavy/thick hair.

She made sure to check in with me during different parts of the appointment to make sure I was happy with my hair. The staff is always sweet and welcoming. I will def be continuing with Charlie :) read more

Danica is amazing! My hair is truly troublesome, some of it is curly, some of it is wavy, some of it is kinky. Yet, Danica finds a way to make it look good.

I always look forward to seeing her and enjoying the outcome... because with my hair, you just never know what's going to happen. read more

Highly recommend this salon, especially for those with wavy to curly hair. I was struggling to find a good stylist for my daughter with that hair type. I got recommended Salon Patine for our hair care needs. The receptionist was very patient and sweet. She had recommended Andrea as our stylist. Andrea did an amazing job with my daughter's hair.

David was awesome!!!! My first time at this hair salon and it was a bit tricky finding street parking on a Saturday. However I drive around to the back alley and found they have a parking lot in the back of their building making it super convenient to park. I can't say enough about David but he did a great job with me as this was my first time in the salon. He asked me what I wanted and I was able to show him pictures so he knew what I had in mind. He was very friendly and kind and patient with me. He had a good technique and was very gentle. It was very relaxing actually! I was extremely happy with the end result and even booked my next appointment. Also since I was a first time customer, I was given a hair sample product and a coupon for 20% of any hair products I can use anytime. I'm very happy and can say with certainty I've found my new hair stylist!! read more

I've been going to Danica for color and cut for the past seven years--she is the absolute best! She is a wizard at color. She's dyed my hair several radically different colors over the years (removed blue from my hair, dyed it white blonde, different shades of red, browns, and black) and every single color has been fire. It took probably two or three years to move from one extreme (white blond) to another (brown-black) and every step in between looked great. My hair stayed healthy through all of this color work because Danica knows the limits of how much hair can take at once. She knows which bangs will suit your face shape. She's cut mine in a few different styles from long 70s bangs to short Bettie Page ones. I really cannot recommend her enough. My experience at Salon Patine has wonderful. The front desk is always really nice and helpful if I've needed to reschedule. The salon is clean and I've never had an issue with parking. I've recommended Salon Patine (and Danica) to a lot of friends! read more

I got my hair done by Nathalie. She is purely amazing and fun to talk to. I went from brown to jet black and she executed it perfectly! I get so many compliments on my hair. She is more than a hair stylist, and more than an artist - she is a true craftsman. I left feeling so happy and confident! I recommend making an appointment with Nathalie! read more

Dasha is my go to for color and a great haircut! I let my highlights grow out a little long, but she was able to refresh them and blend the new color in perfectly with the old.

Locks* no further, Salon Patine is a fantastic and unmatched hair salon. Offering many services such as hair color, highlights, lowlights, blowouts, special occasion hair, wash, cuts and styling. There is convenient parking out front as well as behind the building in the alley. I found the salon to be very nice and clean, including the restroom. They carry high quality products and are so knowledgeable, matching the right product with your particular needs. I love that they support local artists by having rotating art displayed on the walls. The front desk employees are so very helpful and welcoming. Grace is wonderful and ushered me over to the tea and coffee nook, a welcome beverage before I said adios to my very long and thinning hair! Danica is an absolutely fabulous hairstylist. She listened attentively, asked questions, encouraged my taking multiple looks in the mirror to see the back of my head, making triply sure I was getting exactly the cut I wanted. And of course she delivered! I am overjoyed with my hair wash/cut/style! I feel like I can breathe again, leaving with a tranquil feeling of peace and hair-mony! Thank you Salon Patine! read more

They have a few customer parking spaces on the backside of the building but I usually would just street park. read more

I had such a nice experience at this salon! It was my first time getting a proper haircut in 7-8 years, mainly because its expensive and life gets busy! But their prices are super affordable for a wash and cut. Cecelia was my stylist and she was really nice and definitely understood exactly what I wanted. She made sure I was happy with exact length, which face framing pieces I wanted cut, etc. Would highly recommend and I will absolutely be coming back much sooner than 7 years :) read more

I tried doing my hair at home and it went really wrong -- it lifted way too much and looked nothing like my natural color. I called Salon Patine feeling stressed, and Emilee totally came to the rescue. She knew exactly what to do and brought my natural color back so beautifully. I walked out feeling like myself again. So grateful for her skill and calm energy! read more
