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!

It has been quite a challenge finding someone who can truly style short hair. Although I've worked…read morewith other talented stylists, many admitted they were better trained in -- and more comfortable with -- longer styles. I'm so pleased to have discovered Lux, who has now colored, cut, and styled my hair for several months, always achieving the results I hoped for. My hair grows out beautifully, and I continue to receive compliments even weeks after a fresh cut. Lux is a gem, and Oak and Ivy Hair Salon is welcoming and comfortable -- right down to the shampoo basins.I

I had my hair done by Christina and asked for a specific color. After the appointment, I noticed…read morethe color wasn't quite what I had requested, so I messaged her. She responded saying it would lighten up, but I received no further communication after that. Later, I saw a color on her Instagram that I liked, which was closer to what I originally wanted, so I mentioned it to her. Unfortunately, she blocked me without attempting to address the issue. I found this behavior unprofessional and disappointing. It felt like she wasn't willing to work with me to resolve the situation, which reflects poorly on her professionalism. In hindsight, I should have stuck with my regular stylist.

Tara always gets my hair the exact color and style I ask for and is always honest with me about the process. The salon is quite lovely. Has a very boutique vibe. They have a little snack, bar and drink bar for everyone. Everyone who rents a spot or works there seems very friendly and professional. There's usually always parking right in front or across the street. It is downtown Cotati, though, so depending on events, the parking can be a little rough, but I've never had an issue.
