I cannot recommend this place enough if you have curly hair! I've gotten my hair cut by 2 different stylists and loved the results! I have thick hair that can be difficult to work with and this is the first salon I've ever been to that I can trust with my hair. They take the time to understand your hair care routine and then show you tips and tricks to improve your curls. TLDR; get a hair cut at this salon, your curls will thank you! read more

Every time me or my daughter gets our hair done at Salon 62 it's been a great experience. Everyone in the entire shop is so friendly and welcoming. Ava was my stylist yesterday. I was hesitant about getting my long hair cut into a bob (I had been going back and forth with the idea of cutting it shorter for weeks before my appointment), but she convinced me it would look so cute and she was right! Love my new haircut! I typically don't see the same person twice here as I get the first available appointment but everyone there has been fabulous. Love, love Salon 62! read more

I recently moved from the Bay Area. I've been with the same stylist for 25 years or more, so putting my hair in someone else's care was daunting. I want to give kudos to Ella, who is a newer member of the team and did a great job. She listened and collaborated and ultimately did a cut and color that worked great for my aging, thin, fine, and curly hair. Not an easy task. The staff seems very sweet and professional, and I now have a Central Coast option when my hair needs attention. read more

Really great place! Tracey did a great job with my haircut and the curl education that came with it was really informative. The place is in a cute area in town and loved the vibe. They were super friendly and upfront about pricing and not pushy about buying their products as other salons are. Highly recommend. read more

Very impressed! I came in for some (sadly discontinued ) Aveda eyeshadow, and all the staff members were so so helpful!! First interaction was exchanging texts to ask about availability, and they volunteered so much information... including that all their Aveda makeup is 50% off right now what a steal! And at the shop, the front desk attendant went WAY out of her way to help me sift through their inventory, discuss options and make recommendations. I ended up walking out of there with almost $70 worth of eyeshadow (money very well spent. I'm so sorry to see the Aveda makeup go... had to stock up for my future), and an appointment for a haircut to boot. Thanks gals! Update: And what do you know. I haven't worn my hair curly in about 10 years but they offered some curl education as part of my cut and style, so I said sure! May as well learn how to manage it correctly from the experts. I'd forgotten just how curly my hair could be!! Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks Tracy! read more

I almost cried when my curls were done! I've never seen them this happy and healthy. I enjoyed the whole process every step of the way. Tracy was amazing, easy to talk to and very informative. Even the feeling inside the salon was so light and joyful from both staff and clients. I will be returning! read more

Thank the Gods for Riley... When I say I went 33 years without enjoying how people cut my hair, I mean I got so desperate I started to cut it myself (insert cry-laughing emoji). Thankfully that era is over! Riley is efficient, knows her way around curls, +does exactly what I want. I also have a realllly sensitive head-- getting my hair cut is usually pretty uncomfortable-- but Riley is extra careful without me asking, and the whole process is soothing read more

I didnt get memo before appt that they specialize in curly hair. While in chair she shared they dont do blow outs often as their cutly clients mostly air dry. Ughhh. Very cool but for 55 dollars i wanted a good blow out and would have been happy with fair. She was darling, very personable but I disagree that she is good with a blow dryer. It was damp when i left, she didn't like heat, even though i said my hair responds to heat. I had to get another one the next day. Hey, its just hair, but 55 dollars is 55 dollars. TY for-trying, maybe receptionist can share that you guys dont do many, and I specifically asked for someone who does and likes blow outs:( read more

I have baby fine, thin hair that fries easily and doesn't like to hold dye. I am a hair stylists nightmare haha but Haley always gives me exactly what I'm hoping for or educates me when I'm asking for something that just can't happen with hair like mine and gives me something better. She is always kind, always professional and takes the time to make sure every hair is right. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This was a great experience for me. After a recent move to a new climate (plus aging plus hormones plus genetics), my hair has become more and more curly. It has become difficult for me to manage because I've always had mostly straight hair or hair that straightened easily and with a good blowout, have worn mostly straight cuts my whole life. I needed some guidance for this new frontier. They matched me with Brianna, who is trained specifically on curly hair, has curly hair, and she not only gave me a good cut, she patiently taught me to style my hair without overselling a bunch of products and used no fancy tools. This was so educational, and I feel empowered to manage my hair now. I highly recommend coming here! read more

I've been here probably 4 times for a hair cut, sometimes a color. I have curly hair, and it is HARD to find someone with the skill to do it right. This salon does a type of cut called a "Deva-cut". It is a technique in which the curly hair is cut dry do that you can see how the curls will lay. This is AWESOME. They also sell a line of products called Devacurl products. They show you which products would work for the look you want, and they show you how to use them. They also did bayalage color on my hair today. I love the results. Every time I come here, I have a great experience. My hair is long, so my cut and color were on the pricier side, but I don't feel it is out of line for other reputable salons. Speaking of the salon, it is so cute. When I come in, they offer me water or tea while I wait. They are located on Garden Street in a fun location. There is a coffee shop next door, smells good. Parking. Ugh. It's SLO, so you need to go early to locate a spot. I got lucky and found a spot close to the salon, but my problem was that the meter had a 2 hour limit. The receptionist was kind enough to run out to my car and feed my meter because I was covered in a drape and hair dye. Overall, great way to get beautified. read more

I just got home from getting my hair cut and "styled" this morning. Let me start off by saying that the overall experience was normal. Brianna, my stylist, was very polite, kind and gave me a lot of information. She answered a lot of my questions and provided good suggestions. However, the final result was less than acceptable in my opinion. This is the first time I go to a salon and expect my hair to be left natural and look good. I usually get it heat styled (flat iron or curl iron). I was extremely nervous about it and had hopes of at least walking out descent. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I don't know of any curly girl who would be happy paying a professional to leave their curls frizzy and undefined. I can do that myself for free. My hair looks like it has no product in it, and feels like soft hay! I will have to wash and style my hair again in order to make it look descent. Thank goodness I was just going straight home after this! Sadly, no one at the salon asked my opinion or even hinted at their being something wrong with my "complete look."Needless to say, I am not a happy customer and I will not be referring anyone to this salon. read more

The staff and location is wonderful! unfortunately I have had bad experience after bad experience here. I have a lot of thick and curly hair and I just feel that they are not able to manage hair like mine. i wanted a lot of layers and I got a total mullet! absolutely no blending and huge separation between my top layers and lower layers . I went back to get it fixed but it just got worse. I'll need to wait a month or so to let it start to grow a bit and go somewhere else and get a new cut :(. read more

I appreciated the curly cut that they do, but I had multiple bad experiences with coloring.

I do not live in the area but I recently got married in SLO county and wanted to get my hair styled. This salon was easy to book with and it ended up being the perfect fit for me! Haley did my hair, she was very sweet and friendly. When people hear wedding, they tend to go over the top but I wanted to keep it very simple and she did exactly that. My hair looked so good and still stayed true to me. She took her time and made it perfect, I loved it! The entire experience was great and it was also affordable. If I lived closer this would be my go-to salon! read more

This was the best haircut I've ever had!! Emy cut my hair and I absolutely love it. I was nervous to try front bangs for the first time, but I'm really happy with how they turned out. I have curly hair and was stoked to learn tips and tricks for styling and caring for it from Emy. I had no idea my hair could get this curly! read more

This place sucks, they completely ripped and gave me a shitty haircut and then had the fucking audacity to charge me double what I should've had to pay. I will never be coming back to this place, what should've been a $40 bang trim I was charged almost triple the amount. save your money and time and go to central coast hair, they won't fuck up your style. read more

I have very thick, wavy hair and have never before left a salon as happy as I have at Salon62. Emy is so kind and thoughtful of the process. She is patient and funny, which makes every cut a great experience. All of the stylists are so easy going and happy, it's a great atmosphere each time I go in. Highly highly highly recommend for curly or thick hair, or if you just want to have a good time getting a haircut! read more

I brought my 5 year old in for her first legit haircut. She has very curly hair - which I do not have - so I found salon 62 to give her a curly cut and educate me on how to care for her curls. Kim was so great. She was super sweet and considerate to my daughter. I learned a lot from kim on how to care for my daughters hair and she even recommended easier and better products for my daughters hair. Would happily recommend! read more

A stylist at a different salon suggested I try out Salon62 to get a true haircut for someone with naturally curly hair. At the time, I was a new resident trying to find a salon. I found enough courage to call and set up an appointment with Emy. My first time was in February and it was really amazing. She helped me understand which devacurl product would be the best on my type of hair including how to use it. To this day, I continue to use the same products. I was so happy and pleased the first time that I went back again, last Friday. I'm so thankful the salon's reopened as I was in need of a haircut. Once again, Emy did a great job. She really deserves an award. read more

I had my first Devacut at Salon62 with Haley and I loved my experience! Haley was wonderful to work with, she was a joy to talk with and hyped up my curls a lot the difference between this cut and others I've had in my life was night and day. Having my hair trimmed while dry made so much more sense to me so the curl pattern is easier to predict and the layers were so much better blended than other cuts I've had. Other stylists always asked if they could flat iron or blow out my hair after they cut it, but Haley styled in a way that enhanced my curls. The product and hair washing tips were so appreciated and I will definitely be back! read more

Yesterday was my first time getting my hair done at Salon 62 and I couldn't be happier. It was easy to make an appointment and they offer texting which is so helpful. I got my hair cut and colored by Haley and I love my hair! The cut and color are exactly what I've been trying to get at other salons but never knew quite what to ask for. Haley asked lots of questions to see what I was looking for and made a lot of very helpful suggestions. She was super personable, knowledgeable and talented - I already booked my next appointment before leaving the salon! Also, the salon was so gorgeous and they were taking precautions to ensure everyone's safety. You should definitely make an appointment! read more

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Rain today. She cut my hair exactly as I asked, made small suggestions that made a great difference and curled my hair in such a way that it looked great. She taught me how to do it so I can maintain at home. Great product recommendations by her and another stylist Tracy. read more

Amazing salon! Came in for a curly cut and the stylist brought my hair back to life!! Definitely worth it if you have wavy or curly hair, I didn't think my curls were able to look that good :) read more

I HAVE GREAT THINGS TO SAY PEOPLE. So per usual, I on a whim, decided to cut my hair today, and I was looking through yelp and remembered I had wanted to come to this salon. They specialize in curly hair and I was interested- having wavy hair myself. So, I scheduled a same day appointment and was so delighted with the service, smell of the shop, skill, and entire ambiance of the place. I received a curly cut and my hairdresser (whose name I am totally blanking on right now) informed me on the proper way to wash and style my hair with products that are pretty affordable in comparison to other salons. Anyways, I already scheduled my next appointment in a few months. Photos of transformation below. read more

Curly girls, rejoice!! I had the best haircut of my life here about a week ago. I have curly hair and have always struggled to find a salon that knows how to handle my curls. Kim, the owner, gave me the exact cut I wanted and I left with my hair looking amazing! Framed my face beautifully, restored my long layers, and walked me through how to use Deva Curl products, but no pressure to buy them when I got to check-out. The salon is taking lots of precautions with COVID so I felt really safe going in. I was also stoked to see the Black Lives Matter signs in the windows. All in all an amazing salon and I will definitely be back! read more

Haley did a perfect job on my color! Plus, she knew what products to use for my hair to look shiny and healthy along with how to blow dry my corse wavy hair. I would highly reccomend Haley and the Salon for their expertise and great vibe. read more

Amazing again!!! Great cut and curly hair education Best ballyage ever Thank you to Kim the owner. Every curly hair gal from a little wave to massive curls - come here hair Worth the drive from Santa Barbara read more

This has been my go-to hair salon for a couple of years now, and I am very happy about it. (I don't even live in the area anymore, and I still wait till I am back in SLO for hair appointments.) The location of Salon62, being downtown, and right next to a couple of coffee shops and a juice shop, is great. Although, you don't really even need to bring your own beverage. They have this amazing peach tea you can have hot or cold. There are lots of high-quality hair and beauty products available for sale, as well as a unique variety of beautiful jewelry up front. The hair salon is also always adorably decorated. I get my hair done by Emy Authier at Salon62 because she is an excellent hair dresser and lovely human. Scalp massage, hair wash, coloring, trimming, styling -- it is a good day when you get to have your hair done by Emy. She is especially good at communicating what you want done if it is different from what you may do regularly. She will thoroughly answer any questions you have, and help you problem-solve along the way. Highly recommend, especially Emy, for all your hair needs. I always feel great walking out of there. read more

I had my curly mop cut by Heather in December 2018. This is the first time I have EVER gone out of my way to review the salon that just did my hair, but I just needed to reach out and let you all know that I am absolutely obsessed with it. I have finally found my hair home! My sister works as a server where she met Kim, and learned about Kim's salon and her curly hair specialty. Knowing that I have salon hopped trying to find my person, my sister told me I should call Salon62. Without much thought or research, I called and trusted the direction your sweet receptionist pointed me in (which was Heather - praise!) I've never had a person with curly hair cut mine and that alone was amazing. Heather was so kind, and did an absolutely fantastic job! I have never loved my hair as much as I do right now. Thank you thank you for your hair magic and teachings Heather, I will be coming back to you! Everyone was so kind and made me feel so good while I was there. Which is something else I have never experienced - my surprisingly curly head is always a spectator event in other salons. I will definitely be returning. Thank you Kim and Heather and everyone at Salon62 for doing what you do :) read more

Emy is the only person who has been able to make my naturally curly hair look good! She also is the only person I trust to cut my bangs (we've all had nightmare bangs before- haven't we?). Teh salon it'sself is very calming, and uses great-smelling aveda products. I like that it is locally owned and operated. read more

One of the scariest parts of moving as a curly girl is finding a new stylist, and I am SO thankful I found Salon62! Booking with the salon was as simple as a text (love it) and the entire experience at Salon62 is nothing short of wonderful-even with proper Covid precautions in place. All the staff are kind and helpful, from walking in and being offered tea to the cut with Kim who does MAGIC with curls. For my first curly cut Kim was awesome about walking me through all the steps of styling and making sure she understood how much time and attention I wanted to give to my curls each day and helped me find a cut that would really work for me. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Salon62. read more

Being a curly haired person, I have a lot of difficulty finding a stylist I trust to cut my hair. I came to Salon62 from the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed. Heather used the Deva cut technique and it is seriously one of the best haircuts I have ever had. It was painless, quick, and gorgeous at the end. She styled it perfectly, and all my curls were healthy and bouncy at the end. I can not recommend this place enough! read more

My experience at Salon62 was like no other... given that finding a salon that specializes in my hair type is very rare, Salon62 has a great team of stylists that are knowledgeable and made me feel beyond taken care of. I had the pleasure of getting my curls taken care of by Haley, she was very attentive and made me feel like my curls were in good hands. Staff was super welcoming and any time I had a question or concern they made sure to answer in the best way they could. Overall would recommend the Salon62 experience to anyone and I definitely will be going back! read more

I always get my hair done with Brianna Archer at this salon and I literally cannot day enough good things. I had a hair catastrophe with another hair dresser and I called her up. She has rescued my hair and given it the love I knew it deserved. She has been so helpful. Her cuts and dyes are like no other. She works hard and has a lot of knowledge. I would not go to anyone else. I live in Utah and I still go to her. read more
