Reached in to Oak and Ivy last minute as I'm in from out of town for a root color touch up…read more(#ShesOld). Even before I talk about the color I want to lift up that a) they use tech really well (I'm on Zoom calls from one end of the day to the other so picking up the phone and calling someone is super difficult for me most days). They responded to my inquiry through Yelp immediately, forwarded my request on to their stylists, and I had an appointment set up within a half hour max. Ended up with Stephanie and she was wonderful! While she was putting the color in I noticed she didn't apply any protective gel or vaseline ahead of time to protect my skin from the dye. I just figured, "Well, I'm not going to see anyone today, if I'm walking around with a dye headband, it's fine." Well, she didn't NEED to put anything on my skin to protect it because she's that good at what she does! The color came out great -- very natural and healthy looking, and really shiny. And not one drop of dye anywhere except for on the roots where it belonged. On top of all this, Stephanie was super nice, as was everyone who worked there. Loved the ambience, too -- the music was sort of 70s classic rock as was the decor. I'm hoping to be out in this area again in the coming year, and definitely plan to go back to them! Thanks, Stephanie!

A few months ago I went to another salon to get a Rose gold/pink color and it wasn't quite the color that I wanted. I went on Yelp and researched the best colorist in my area and Kelly popped up. Thank goodness because she did EXACTLY what I wanted on the first attempt. I will now be a forever loyal client to Kelly. I don't even mind having to drive almost an hour to her. She's also a super great conversationalist, and made the whole process so fun!

You feel like you've walked through the looking glass and are in some wonderful magical enchanted home. It's comfortable and friendly. I called last night never thinking they'd be able to fit me in today for a cut, but they were! Trisha cut my hair, and transformed me! She used wonderful smelling products to wash and condition, and gave my hair the cut it desperately needed. She's fun and easy to converse with, and I left feeling like a brand new person with a fresh new outlook. I'm so happy to have found a new place for my hair needs, and conveniently located right here in town. If you're intimidated by going into new salons, this is your place. You'll instantly feel comfortable and relaxed. I also appreciated how quick Trisha did my hair.

Her love and passion for her craft show with every appointment I have with her. She always gives me advice on what's best for my locs, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that I can trust what she tells me. Her salon is very inviting and welcoming. She is well worth her asking price, and I recommend her 100%.

Where can I start with Ziquita? How about?........ She is awesome!…read more I met her years ago while she was working in another salon. I was new to Rohnert Park and very nervous about finding someone to care for/style my thick, coarse, head of hair in a way I was comfortable with. My first appointment with Ziquita was amazing. I enjoyed her energy, spirit and good conversation. The fact that my hair came out fabulous was the cherry on top! I followed Ziquita when she opened The Salon Eclectic and her knowledge of hair care made me comfortable to try things with my hair I always wanted to, such as color and extensions. I referred some of my fellow SSU students to Ziquita and they have only had great things to say as well. I now live about 50 miles away but will still make that small trek for Ziquita's services!

Rather than diffusing the situation the owner abruptly told me to leave. I gathered my belongings and left accordingly.

After a few doozies of bad hair experiences, I decided to try to find a salon closer to my home…read more While scrolling through Instagram I found Taylor and noticed that her color palette was right in line with my "California blonde" hopes and so I messaged her. Taylor was so friendly and kind and got back to me right away with some questions about what I was looking for. I felt like she was really competent and capable and after sleuthing deeper into her gallery of work I felt like she was going to be exactly what I was looking for. On the day of my appointment I found parking right outside the salon on the street which was great because Penngrove doesn't have a whole lot of parking. Taylor was super sweet and we talked a bit about my vision for my hair and she got right to work. I loved her attention to detail and she really listened to my concerns about what had happened in the past that I didn't like at other places. I'm happy to report that not only did she give me the exact thing I asked for, she even took it up another level. I loved the way my hair turned out and I really enjoyed getting to know Taylor- she is just an incredibly talented young lady with a real knack for this art. I will definitely be returning to Svelte Salon to see Taylor!
