I needed a wash and blow dry and Sylvia did a great job. It was pretty last minute and they were able to fit me in. Very nice salon.

Just needed a quick trim and a quick trim was what I got! They were able to do a same day appointment for me and she was super nice and willing to re-cut until I was happy with the length. Would not hesitate to come back here again, it also helps I have super easy hair read more

High quality haircuts. Call ahead to make an appointment first. Very stylish cuts and nice people. A+++++

Venue~The Grove Salon is such a gem! The space is super clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the whole vibe is just relaxing. I love that they use Aveda products --they're the best, and the salon always smells amazing because of the use of the products. You can really tell they care about quality and creating a great experience. Highly recommend! Stylist Sylvia Huerta ~ I had an amazing experience with Sylvia Huerta! She colored and cut my hair, and it came out absolutely perfect. The color was spot on-exactly what I wanted. Sylvia has such a warm and friendly personality, and our conversation flowed so naturally. She made the whole appointment feel relaxed and enjoyable. Super accommodating and attentive to what I was looking for. I left feeling so happy and refreshed. Highly recommend her! read more

Called for a quick trim and they were able to accommodate me literally within 10 minutes as a walk on appt on a Friday morning. My trim actually was I want to say less than that and it was efficient. Staff was friendly and my 4 inch trim was $30 without gratuity. read more

The Grove Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I've taken my kids here multiple times now and leave happy each time. Laranda is an absolute gem. She gave my 5 year old daughter the exact bangs she envisioned and was so warm and kind the entire time. She also worked her magic on my 3 year old son's thick hair - he was afraid to get his hair cut, crying and flinching. But Laranda was extremely patient, had a few tricks up her sleeve to distract him, and made him as comfortable as possible. We have been extremely happy with the service here! read more

No, just no. The.last chair and hair wash station area reeks of urine. A simple blowout with volume curls...Eben after specifying I wanted hair teased up to the ceiling...looked awful My Mom wanted a simple blowout and simple bun with volume. They flat out said no. The hair style she came home with after a simple blowout looked like a flattened matte half finished mess. I wish I had photos but we were too busy being late to the event trying to fix it ourselves. I'm so disappointed because this place came highly recommended. I'm only giving 2 stars because the receptionist on phone was lovely and our hairdresser Sylvia was a nice gal. Not returning most likely. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Laranda! She took time to understand what I asking for : I have thin hair & I wanted to keep my length and add body without losing density. She explained the haircut she suggested and asked for my input or concerns. She was gentle and patient with my hair. During the haircut, she asked me questions regarding my hair routine and personal hair goals, and gave me advice. I felt very comfortable speaking with her, and nothing was rushed. It was one the best haircut expereinces I have had! read more

I saw Lorenda today for consultation, cut treatment for dry hair and blow dry !! She was sweet and knowledgeable I'm so happy Walked in with frizzy dry hair and left with bouncy healthy happy hair Thank you read more

I decided to get my haircut, finally, but I can't locate my former hairdresser anymore. I think maybe she retired during the pandemic which is so sad since I had been seeing her for over a decade. ‍ I researched on Yelp and this salon came up highly. I saw some of Yelp friends have it high reviews as well so it seemed like a good sign to check it out. I called to make an appointment, but then I found better availability online. It was easy to reschedule which was great. I got a text message confirmation of my appointment too which was handy. The salon is located in the new Orchards shopping center in that like beauty row by the waxing place. Parking is easy and ample which is great. I was seen right on schedule which was impressive. I walked in right as the previous client was paying. The salon chairs are well spaced for social distancing and everyone was wearing masks. I showed a few photos and my hairstylist got what I was going for. My stylist wasn't particularly chatty, but that's okay. It made me miss my old stylist a bit as she will be irreplaceable! However, I'm happy with my haircut and I'll likely be back! The prices are fair. It's more than a Supercuts type of place, but less than the downtown salons. I left pleased. read more

It's kind of late post !! Been coming here since they opened. They are always busy! You can't beat the price for Walnut Creek area! Let's be fair and honest about the fair pricing. I'm always happy with service provided, color and hair cut! Ruhi ( roohi) it's the best! read more

I have been here for 2 haircuts and each experience has been different. My first haircut the lady did a fantastic job giving me what I asked for while giving me a haircut that worked best for my hair. It looked amazing after. The only thing is that she was a little rough on my hair and it wasn't a relaxing experience. My second haircut I got someone around my age and it was a great experience. However the haircut was not good and not the best cut for my hair. I had told her that I have very thick, heavy and wavy hair that curls up when short. Because it was long it wasn't wavy from the weight of it all and she didn't believe me. This was evident by the cut and the fact that she goes wow you weren't lying after it was done and that curls shrunk up. She also talked me out of layers which I desperately need because if not my hair bulbs at the end like lord farquaad. read more

Hairstylist Candace at The Grove Salon did a superb job cutting and styling my hair! I went in with my fine, thin hair grown long and scraggly due to growing out a bad haircut from a different salon. As requested, Candace cut my hair short. Her idea was to emphasize my natural curls, which I didn't realize I had. I love my new short, curly hairstyle thanks to Candace! Oh, and she dances too. I look forward to seeing her again. read more

I came in last July and it was my first haircut since quarantine, I opted for a lob because I wanted to make sure it would be a while again until I got another hair cut. I thought it was fairly simple because I only asked for a straight cut, no layers. I was just really underwhelmed. At $30 for the cut plus a $5 tip -- the whole experience just felt so meh. It was an older lady cutting my hair and I noticed that after I got my cut, there was some strands that were slightly longer than others. I don't know, it was just really disappointing. I already feel like most hair cuts feel like a rip off when you don't ask for any styling and it just requires someone to be able to cut straight, so this was just not it for me I guess... read more

Denise at The Grove Salon is fabulous! My dad has been going to her for his haircuts and comes out looking fantastic. I brought my 14 month old son and said I wanted hair to look just like my dad! She nailed it! She was gentle and so kind! I can't wait to come back! read more

I'm only giving one star and that's because of the lady who cut my hair last time before today that actually deserves it. Today I went in for a trim on my layers and cutting two inches of the base of my hair. I wanted long layers, face frame but able to put my bangs behind my ears, and lots of movement and bouncy. I showed Denise two pictures of how I wanted it. I specified during the hair cut if it was going to be short or not because I didn't want my hair to be super short. She said no it's still pretty long. I told her TWO INCHES from the base. The rest of the layers just trim. She in fact did not cut two inches. She cut probably 3-5. I never cried after a haircut ever. I should've known it was going to be a mess after her not washing my hair first before cutting it. Terrible terrible job! Not to mention I specifically asked for someone who's good in layers yesterday for my appointment today. So sad. I came out with the complete opposite. She was pretty nice, I just think she needs to pay attention to what the customer wants and reassure them while not doing whatever she wants. She also needs retraining in layers because it looks like a straight haircut! So disappointed. read more

I got highlights from Leila on a busy Saturday and the experience wasn't good. She took her time and seemed thorough, but unfortunately she doesn't know how to highlight hair that's been previously highlighted, so I got banding on my mids (a row of dark color in the middle section of hair length). What annoyed me further was there were no sinks available when the buzzer rang to wash out my toner. So I had ammonia toner sitting on my hair for about 10 minutes longer than I should have because no sinks were free. Lastly, they didn't ask about Aveda points so I didn't even get credit. It's feels like a Super Cuts there, not Aveda. read more

Been here a few times and each time the quality of my color is not the best. The owner is rude to her mom so I've decided to stop coming here. read more

Candace was wonderful today. She listened to what I wanted and then got busy getting it right, I loved the whole experience.

Loved my perm. Hard to find a hair salon nowadays that does perms. Fair prices. Excellent service Laila did a great job. She knew what she was doing and made me feel comfortable. I will definitely be going back for all my hair needs! read more

Allison is FANTASTIC, she is such a sweetheart, and a talented one at that!! I came in, wanting to chop my hair and she took the time to really understand what I was going for. I am in love with my new do, have already gotten several compliments and will 1000% be returning! read more

Called this morning & was able to get in just a couple hours! I was greeted right away & was invited to take a seat at Leah's sachair. I was excited to see that the salon offered Aveda products (long time lover of Aveda) Leah was very friendly & made sure the cut she gave me was exactly what I wanted! (I'm currently growing my hair out & she took off just the right amount.) Leah also help me pick out a good texturizing spray & let me try the one at her booth beforehand. I'd definitely recommend this salon for someone looking for an inexpensive haircut (women's $25), good service and an overall pleasant experience! read more

I received an amazing haircut from Leah. Not only was she super nice, but she was able to cut my hair as soon as I walked-in and it was reasonably priced for a WOMENS HAIRCUT! However, the prices for the color services are a bit steep considering this is not a super chic high-end salon, though still nice and clean shop with fairly easy parking. Highly recommend. GREAT HAIRCUT LEAH! read more

I went to the Grove for a hair color touch up. My hair stylist was fantastic. She was extremely professional and friendly. Her name was Larada and she took her time reviewing my existing hair color and discussing any concerns that I might have. I would definitely recommend this Salon, I'm very happy with the service that I received. read more

I've never gone home from a haircut and cried before, but there's a first for everything! I've never had an issue with Candace before, as she's my mom's hairdresser and I see her every once in a while when I'm home from college. I've never wanted anything too "crazy" or unorthodox, so I usually just figure anyone will do. I asked for lots of layers, something I was very sure of as I have a bit more of an alternative style and wanted to be able to spike the tips out every once in a while. She didn't touch the long layers I already had in the back other than trimming an inch off my overall length (that's fine, whatever) but I kept asking for more intense face framing. When the shortest part was about where I wanted it, my hair was two starkly different lengths instead of being gradually blended. She blamed my previous hairdresser (in Santa Cruz) despite her being the one that made me realize I liked a lot of layers on myself. As this is going on, she kept making passive aggressive comments about my colored hair. Color is something I take pride in doing myself, as it's far cheaper and a sort of rite of passage in the alt scene. I had rinsed it a bit earlier than I would have because I had already been up late, so there were some parts where the color didn't take as vibrantly as others. Throughout the appointment Candace kept telling me I needed to overlay the color again, pointing out any spots that were slightly lighter, pointing it out to her coworker, and overall making me wildly uncomfortable at the unwarranted critique. It would have been one thing if I had entered the salon and said "what do you think of my color?" No, I didn't ask. I just wanted a haircut. Unwarranted and unwanted "advice" is just straight up criticism and it made me feel bad about myself despite the fact I had really loved my color. She made me feel so ugly so quick, and at a point I just didn't want to keep asking for more layers as she wasn't taking me seriously. I'll just learn to cut it myself or go back to Pleasure Head when I'm back in Santa Cruz. Thinking back, at the beginning of the appointment I asked about her snake bites and whether they bothered her teeth (I've always stayed away from oral piercings from fear of this) and she pulled her lip down to show me. I was genuinely interested, but I realize she never left my side to go wash her hands after having put her fingers in her mouth, and then proceeding to touch and cut my hair. Even pre-covid I would have been grossed out. read more

So glad your open now, we move forward and don't go back. on all Covid precautions!!! Denise was so patient with my needs, wants and questions. read more

Denise Canales did an amazing job! I've only had my hair cut with hair stylist I've known or been recommended to so I was nervous to going in. Denise was detailed in her review of what I was looking for and made me feel more comfortable. I had a cut blow dry and style. Hair looks and feels great! I will definitely visit her again at Grove Salon when I come back to Concord. read more

(3.5 stars) I was excited to stumble upon this conveniently located salon boasting Aveda products and affordable prices and decided to give it a try! I made an appointment for the day-of and was scheduled with Lila. My visit was complete in 20 minutes or less and included a basic haircut only (no shampoo, conditioner, or other styling products/services). I appreciated that Lila was very kind and clearly took my requests into consideration but assumed there would be some kind of styling service or product suggestions (even if just finishing spray) given the context of the Aveda retail. The interior space is minimal and clean but lacks decor and aesthetic warmth. Overall, I'm happy with my haircut and the customer service but look for more in a salon experience. I would recommend The Grove to someone specially looking for a no-frills haircut on a budget. read more

I've been having Rohei cut my hair for almost half a decade and in all my years having haircuts elsewhere from others hairstyles, it's never quite the same as when I go to Rohei. Not just your ordinary salon, The Grove Salon has stylists that specialize in cutting men's hair as well, and Rohei in particular does an amazing job. Aside from the fact that she's the owner, she works very hard to keep the salon going and it shows. I highly recommend The Grove Salon to anyone looking for a simple men's cut or even more complex hairstyles for men and women. And while you're at it, check our their excellent selection of products from Aveda to complement your haircut and keep you looking your best between visits. Pro tip - download the Vagaro app or call and book an appointment ahead of time, because this place is really popular! read more

I used to drive all the way to Benicia to get my hair cut and now am so pleased to find such a gem of a hair stylist / colorist just a few miles from my house. I need to have my haircut and colored every 6-8 weeks and not only is The Grove so close to home, the prices are so reasonable and the hairstylists are very talented and great at listening to what their customers want. Leah is wonderful at giving me precisely what I ask for each time, that's why I have to give this place the best review. Plus Starbucks is right next door! Super great value. read more

Salon has a good atmosphere. Highly recommend Candace if you have curly hair. She will cut wet or dry depending on your preference and understands curl patterns. Staff is friendly and professional. Open till 6 PM, so great if you work a 9-5. read more

I really like this spot! It's a step above Great Clips and the like. But it's not $100+ like so many Walnut Creek places. Such a good in between! Denise was knowledgeable, on time, and very friendly. Cut turned out great! Will be returning with my daughters. read more

This is my second time visiting the salon during covid. This visit I had Candace. She is literally amazing! She kept a conversation going the whole appointment. I never felt uncomfortable or forced. She listens to what you have to say and has a natural conversation. She is very real and natural. Candace made sure to check with me twice before cutting 3 inches off my hair. I like this because it saves room for any after thoughts or late switch making decisions. I appreciate that she double checks the exact length she will cut instead of just agreeing to such an amount. She actually showed me how much she was going to cut. My hair looked and felt great. Thanks Candace! read more

Love this place! Finally found a place that cuts and colors just the way I love! Once I find a good hair dresses I don't like to go to anyone else. With that being said Rohei definitely always cuts and colors my hair just the way I like it. I have not tried any of the other hair dressers but they seem like they all have it down. read more

We've followed Rohei here from Supercuts where we used to go. I didn't realize she owned this salon. Such a great accomplishment for her. She gives precise haircuts and she listens to the specifics of what you're asking for and she delivers a good quality haircut at a very reasonable price. It's great to go after washing your own hair at home and come in while it's still wet and they can cut for you at a good price. However, if you have no time to do this, they can wash and cut for you for a little more. She never over-cuts which is a good thing - can always cut more if it's not short enough but you can't attach hair that's already been cut! Just saying read more

My husband took care of the baby for the morning and I was able to get my hair done - what a great experience! My hair was in need of some serious therapy and Lyla got the job done perfectly. She cut my hair and it feels sooo much more healthy now, no more split ends thank god. We had a wedding to go to later that day so she also curled my hair and it looked amazing. I also felt that it was reasonably priced which is always a plus! read more

Got a trim and some thinning. Stylist was super nice and helpful. Will be coming back to dye my hair soon !

Rohei has been cutting, coloring, and styling my hair for over ten years and has never disappointed me. She is highly skilled in a variety of techniques and always knows which to employ to achieve my desired look. She is patient and attentive when asking me what I would like to get out of each appointment. She is well versed in current hair style trends always offering trust worthy suggestions. Since opening her own salon, I have remained 100 percent satisfied with her high quality services at affordable prices and am only too pleased to continue to bring her my business. If you are looking for a new salon, I highly recommend The Grove. read more
