Laurette is new at the salon and she's an artist with her scissors. Such a sweet person, listens to what you want, and pays attention to detail. Love my haircut. read more

Odete has done my hair for over 20 years and she is the best! She is the only one who I truly trust to do my hair as I am very selective about who styles my hair, due to a bad one-time experience. I trust her instinct and judgment, especially when I did highlights for 4 years. She always did such an amazing job during my highlight period and when I expressed my desire to go back to my natural black hair color, she knew off the bat what to do without needing to go down the coloring path. I have loved my experience with Odete from the get go and highly recommend her more than anyone else! read more

I've been going to Transitions to see Odette Alexander for over 7 years. Odette is knowledgeable with color and hair styles. She keeps up to date with the latest trends and uses only the best hair products including hair cutting shears. To say that Transitions is a clean establishment is an understatement as they take sanitizing their equipment seriously and maintain all Covid protocols. Odette is very flexible with her schedule including late appointments and weekends. All the beauticians are friendly and keep Transitions a welcoming environment. I would highly recommend Odette for color, high/low lights and a cut and style. She is like family!! read more

Odete has been cutting my hair for several years now and I'm beyond happy that I found her! I know when I sit in her chair she will listen to me and give me exactly what I want! I've never had a hair stylist pay so much attention to detail! I've been very satisfied with every hair cut and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else! Odete is the best!!!!!!!! read more

If you want your hair to look amazing you need to go and see Marcella. Her services are also called Beauty by Marcella, and she works out of Transitions salon, Pinole. It doesn't matter how terrible I walk in here feeling, I always walk out happier than ever. I have been getting my hair cut and colored by Marcella for many years and I have never been less than amazed at the magic she is able to work on my hair. I have fine, tangly, troublesome dull hair and she manages to transform it beautifully everytime. She is very friendly, uses good quality products and the salon is nice and clean. She is very reasonably priced also. I highly recommend her! Marcella also does makeup for special occasions and does a fantastic job. read more

I used to go here before. It's decorated nice for a Pinole salon not all shabby chic wanna be or anything. The stylists are younger and do a good job. I stopped going here though because of the "witty banter" These females LOVE LOVE LOVE to trash their menfolk. Zzzzz It just got old. read more

I loved my experience at Transitions. My appointment was Saturday and I was pretty nervous about getting highlights from someone I hadn't met before. She immediately made me feel comfortable and went through the process and my options very carefully. I trusted her right away and am so glad I did. My highlights are beautiful and she gave me a great haircut. I will be returning for sure. read more

My husband and I both go to Sherri. She is an excellent stylist and knows what she's doing. Her pricing is very reasonable.

I have been going to Ann to get more hair cut, colored and styled for over 12 years now and she never disappoints. I come over from San Francisco just to continue seeing her and my brother who lives in DC often waits to get his hair cut just to see her when he is home. In just the last few years, I've gone from a super cute short pixie cut to long blonde hair with a pink ombre to deep brunette and every style has been gorgeous thanks to her! I always get a ton of compliments after every appointment with her. In addition to being an excellent hair dresser, Ann is sweet, funny and just a joy to be around during my often multi-hour hair session with her. If I could give her ten stars - I would. read more

This review is for Marcella, who did an incredible job of dyeing my very long hair pastel peach pink. The color was beautiful and I decided to keep it for my wedding. I was so impressed with her that I hired her to do my hair and makeup for the wedding, as well as my mom and my maid of honor's hair and makeup. Her work was beautiful! She did a perfect job. The color looked amazing. The curls were dreamy. My makeup was glamorous but not too heavy. Thank you for making me look perfect on my perfect day! Marcella is a kind, sweet person and a damn good stylist! Book Beauty by Marcella for your next event or visit her at Transitions! read more

I got my hair done by Marcella and she is amazing at what she does. I will never go to anyone else except her. Everytime I have gotten my hair done she goes above and beyond and it has always turned out better than I can ever imagine! If you want your hair to look fabulous and feel fabulous I recommend her and only her! read more

Debbie will help you through any mistake or grimace! Here's why: Today i had a cut and color appointment with Debbie for the first time and i wanted to take my reddish brown hair and put some chunky cool blonde highlights in, I thought everything was A OK (Loved my cut) but after leaving the salon and looking in a mirror under TRUE SUNLIGHT I realized my ends were ridiculous copper!!!!! Gave her a call she told me to come back and we worked from 600pm till 945 processing the highlights through the terrible orangey phase and i LOVE IT!!!!! Thank you for having patience to go back over and fix it you are amazing! read more

I went here for my very first time in June. I had never professionally gotten my hair done before. I wanted something different for my birthday. I requested a black and purple ombre and I must say that it came out fabulous ! Sharon was really nice and picked perfect colors. My only down falls are that I do feel that it's quite expensive but then again it was my first time ever and also the purple was out of my hair two weeks after having it dyed. For the money I paid I would have liked it to stay a bit longer. read more

Transitions Salon - Here is a before and after shot of my hair. - Hair Salons Near Me - Pinole, California

My stylist has been Mike and he's cut and colored 3 generations of hair in my family- my grandmother/grandfather, my mother, my sister's and mine. I've been seeing mike since 2010 and he's great because he doesn't just cut your hair how you show him in a magazine, he talks you through what would look best with your face shape and hair "attitude". I've put mike through some challenges but he's been a big help from a Mohawk to pixie cuts and lot of other different cuts. Fun guy but don't miss an appointment or else he'll purposely not schedule you for weeks. The shop is always clean and the environment is welcoming and fun. If you're lucky, their dog Peanut might shoot you a glance and then continue walking away! read more

Ok I got my hair cut here once, they had an offer going so I went in. Well I remember the haircut being ok but what made sure I would never come back was when the girl combed my hair in front of my face and nearly ripped my eyebrow ring outta my face( it was a while ago granted). YOWZA!!! That freakin hurt. Needless to say there was no tip and no going back. :( read more

Was in the area and wanted to get layers, and was drawn in by the good reviews. The lady who cut my hair was nice BUT I went in, told her I wanted layers but DID NOT want to take off too much in the length. I had been growing my hair out for MONTHS and liked the length, just wanted to add some life/style. I REPEATEDLY told the older lady to not cut off too much in length. She seemed to understand that then a little over halfway through she explains that she'll need to cut a tiny bit off of the length to trim the ends. I was nervous, but agreed hoping this "professional " would know what she's doing. She kept sighing (warning 1) and clicking her tongue (warning sign 2) a aaand she ended up cutting off about 4-5 inches of hair which took forever to grow. And when she finished she kept saying that if I didn't like it then she'd fix it later for no charge but I was beyond pissed. She was a sweet old lady so I kept my anger silent but I was furious. AND when I went to pay with my card she said they didn't take cards (at all???!!) And asked me to get cash down at 711. I went to the ATM to grab cash and returned but honestly just felt like leaving, and telling an unhappy customer to leave without paying is honestly a stupid move because there is no guarantee they'll come back. So unprofessional. I do not recommend. Don't go, unless you want to go from halfway down your back beautiful hair, to short just below the shoulder length hair (after repeated requests to not take off much in length). read more

Ask for Sherrie... she's amazing. I first started seeing her 13 years ago. She has styled my hair for every Prom, and special dance I've attended. She's great at haircuts as well. A few years ago, she sold her business and transfered to a new salon. I had no idea where she went to. So for years after she left, I've had one bad haircut after another. Finally ran into her again when she was the stylist for my friends wedding. Loved the way she styled my hair that day. Found out she was at Transitions in Pinole. The place is very nice. Well kept and everyone there was super friendly. I never have to worry about a bad haircut ever again. read more

I had my highlights done by Stephanie (daughter of the owner). It was my first time trying them out but was not satisfied with the result. She colored my hair about 1.5 inches from the roots - I needed my roots covered because of my grays but did not get I'd done right. I've reached out to see if she can fix it but have not heard back at all. $199 for highlight and trim was a total waste of money. read more

So I have to give them five stars because not only is Debbie almost like family, she's cut my hair since I was five! She squeezed my grandma in for a hairdo for my grandpas funeral in 1990 and she's been perming and cutting my grandmas hair ever since! read more

Good location, nicely decorated, friendly staff and reasonable prices! Anne recently cut my hair and I LOVE it! She knows hair and she pin-pointed my hair grievances and fixed it! She's also doing this new Brazilian Blowout treatment that I'm itching to try! read more

Needed color and cut done ASAP, and called in today. Got it done by Tammi, and she did exactly what I wanted! I'm so glad that she was available today. If you're ever in the area, try her out. She's the best! read more

I have been going to Transitions Salon for as long as I can remember. I have very thick and unmanageable hair. Before I found Debbie I had bad haircuts and colors. She is the best colorist I know and as for the haircuts I will never trust anyone else again. She gets it right every time. read more

Go see HEATHER! She is very professional and knows her stuff when it comes to styling products and tips. Oh yea, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how she cuts/colors/styles my hair as well as my sons hair. She is like a sister to me....so I highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in finding a permanent hair stylist! read more

I love this place !! I been getting my haircut there since Debby took it over all the girls are cool and tami does an Awsome job !! This place is highly recommended as far as I'm concerned!! read more

I have been seeing Mike (New Hair) for almost eight years! No other stylist's shears have come close to this head! He is excellent at working with your face shape and texture AND he will tell you how it is when you're asking for a cut or style that is impossible to do with your hair! I know this because I am always a challenge and asking for things beyond what my hair could do or handle! make an appointment with him and you'll be a lifer-client like me! ;) Do it!! read more

I have been going here for a little over a year now and i love it!! i go to marcella every time! she has saved my hair. She has colored my hair a few times over the year as well as cut it and i am never disappointed. Never be scared to tell her what you want she is happy to do it for you! She is super friendly as well! and to make her even better she does makeup as well! read more

This place is a great place for a hair cut. Ann does an amazing job and she kinda funny. Ask for Ann...she's fast and a wonderful person.

I love going there! Marcella is always very friendly and welcoming. She always does such a great job at doing my hair. This last time I went in I wanted to try something different (ombre). I love the job she did. The colors blend together exactly how I wanted. I get alot of complements on my hair color. read more

If you're looking for hair or make up to be done I highly recommend Marcella! I have been going to her for 2+ years. She's the only one I trust. She will do exactly what you tell her. Or if you're like me and don't know what you want, she will get an idea of the things you like and give you something that's exactly what you didn't know you wanted all along. She's especially good for special events. I was a bridesmaid and she did my hair an make up perfectly. No matter what the occasion every time she does my hair or make up I receive tons of compliments. She is simply the best! read more

Marcella is the best! First of all, my hair is not easy to work on at all. For the past two times I have gone to her I have probably taken up her whole work day, but each time she has done such a great job. I don't think I will go to anyone else for as long as I am living in the bay area. Anyone who goes to her will leave satisfied. Thank you Marcella!! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE Great People Great Service I Love transitions Annie cuts my hair OH did I say cut my hair??? NO one Has cut My hair as Good As Annie LOVE TRANSITIONS !!!!! I am HOOKED!!! read more

Laurette cut my hair for the 1st time and she was great. My hair had several areas that needed to be corrected and it needed a shaping too. My hair is naturally curly/wavy and has a mind of it's own so a really good cut/shape makes all the difference. The lady I used to see was good but Laurette is better for my hair and the issues I have. She spent a lot of time reshaping it while trying not to take off too much of the length, which I'd asked her not to. She was able to layer it and work with my natural curls. I'm in my mid sixties now and have let my hair go natural now, no more blow drying it straight and no more highlights but I still want my hair to look really good. It's getting too thin to look good very long but with the cut Laurette gave me, I can let it grow out a bit but with layers and it looks great. I highly recommend you give her a try if you're looking for a new stylist. I know she does color too and from what I've seen of her knowlwdge and technique just with a haircut I'd bet she's very good at color too. read more

When Heather greeted me and said she will be cutting and coloring my hair I automatically canceled my color and agreed to the cut. I should have ran!!! Her color was bad, and she had a tied up nest on her head dressed in sweats. Ultimately, never went back she did a shitty layer job and didn't remove the bulk as I requested. The salon was way too loud. One star for location. read more

Odette does an amazing job on my hair! She is very professional and has a wonderful personality. She really cares and listens to what her clients want. She also has great ideas when I'm looking to do a fresh new look. I usually have issues with dyes fading quickly but the product Odette uses stayed and did not damage my hair. I am never disappointed. You rock Odette! read more

I have been going to Tami for over 19 years, I usually let her decide what to do with my hair, and it always comes out looking great. I have had people come up to me and ask me who does my hair and where to i get it done. Going to transitions is like hanging out with family. So if you want great looking hair to be proud of just pick up the phone and make an appointment with tami you will not be disappointed!!! read more

I highly recommend Marcella she does an amazing job!! Thanks for another awesome job!! Love my new color.
