Salon Blonde

Liz is awesome! Quick, professional, and she LISTENS so I always get what I want. She’s also helped me to try some new things! :-D

Casey is my favorite stylist and there is a good reason she’s been cutting my hair for 8 years. Not only is Casey able to color to your heart’s desire (seriously, I’ve seen her pull off some of the coolest coloring jobs), she gives a great cut as well. I trust Casey enough to tell her to just trim or cut my hair and do what she thinks is best and this has never disappointed me. She will always fix something if you aren’t satisfied with it and is incredibly patient with hard-​to-​please clients. I’ve never seen Casey «huff» about anything, so the reviewer who stated that, I find hard to believe. But hey, you can’t please everyone and even the greatest of talents will have critics. Casey has such an eye for color and I love telling her to just pick a color that suits me best and she never disappoints. I can’t recommend her enough.

Casey is probably the nicest and most enthusiastic stylist I have met in Davis! It’s hard for me to go to my usual stylist in Sacramento so I was really scared to go to someone new here in Davis. She was recommended to me from a friend and I am so happy with the result! Not only was she easy to talk to (I was super nervous), she was also very open to my ideas and was patient in helping me figure out the look I wanted. Casey did such a good job with my cut and color and was so much fun to talk to throughout the process. I will definitely be seeing her again next time!

I came for the first time back in April and came back again today. Now I really feel like I have to write a review so I created a Unilocal account just for this. I LOVE this place. I came here when I wanted to do a purple ombré because it seemed like a good place to do out of the box colors. I was right!
First of all, when I first went there and said I wanted an ombré the person who was there said that Liz was the best person for an ombré. Liz was on vacation for the next few days but they told me I could come back then and make an appointment with her or just make one with someone else right then. I really appreciate that they were willing to put me with the person who they thought would be best for me and what I wanted done.
I’m so glad I made an appointment with Liz because she is amazing! The first time she tried to do the purple ombré it didn’t take too well, but she was super apologetic about it and said we could make another appointment to fix it and that it would be complimentary. After the second appointment I was so happy! Liz was super excited about doing my hair and I could really tell that she loves what she does. And my hair was awesome!!! I was worried about the color at first when she dried it, but she could tell and she took me out into the sun where my hair practically glowed purple!
For my appointment today I wanted a burgundy ombré and once again she did not disappoint. It’s a pretty burgundy but also a bright red in the right lighting. I love it, but she also said if I wanted to change something in the next couple of weeks that I could make another complementary appointment.
I also got haircuts with my ombrés which I loved as well.
I love this place and everyone here is super nice. I would recommend Liz to everyone!

Sad to say that I won’t be coming here anymore since I’m moving back home to the Bay. Liz did a fantastic job on my hair for the three appointments that I was there. On the third (and last) appointment, I decided to go for a short bob, and Liz was so patient and focused on the details. She always makes sure that I like my hair, and she comforted me by saying that my short hair is cute on me! (she totally saw the internal conflict going on).
Thank you Salon Blonde for having Liz, and thank you Liz for working your magic on my hair!

I am not sure if the low-​rated reviews are due to a bad day or pickyness [and we have a right to it — it’s our hair!], but I think that to harp on them on a public forum [that potentially affects their income!] before attempting to fix the problem is unfair. If I know anything, it’s that every one of these ladies take great pride in their work and make every effort to please their client, and hey, if your hair does not look the way you would like, tell them! I’ve seen all of their work, and they are nothing short of fantastic.
That said, if I ever want something changed or trimmed more or what have you, I will casually mention it to Casey and she will literally pour her soul into fixing it even better than I expected. She purposefully books enough time to make sure she does your hair right, and if she has extra time between you and her next appointment after finishing your cut, she will perfect every inch of your hair until both of you are completely happy with it. I have never had a stylist do this before!
To top it off, she does a great job. I’ve gone through a hair transition from waist-​length hair, to chest length, to shoulders, to A-​line, to a pixie, and I have only gone to Casey for each cut. Every haircut has looked entirely awesome and I felt I could rock it each time.
If you’re doubting trying out Salon Blonde due to the few bad reviews below, I would say give them a shot. I’ve been there enough times to know their work and skill, and vouch for them 100%!

I don’t know if Casey was just having an off day but I definitely would not say she does amazing hair cuts. I gave her a picture of an asymmetrical a-​line bob and she gave me a sort of bob with some weird choppy layers in the back. It’s like she forgot about the picture and just did whatever shit she wanted to do with my hair. Definitely not worth $ 40. She could tell I didn’t really like it and she was trying to be nice but she was all huffy. I think she was just tired and hungry. My haircut isn’t bad enough for me to get it fixed at Pom Salon where I usually go but didn’t go this time because I was trying to find a cheaper place, but I don’t like my hair cut and I don’t feel pretty. so. I’m being generous with the three stars. But maybe I’m just really picky about my hair.

Seriously, Casey does amazing hair. I have been going to someone else in town for cuts just because I’ve been with them since freshman year of college, but I knew that Casey is an absolute expert in color. So I went in for my *very first* dye job ever (yes, she’s that special! Tehe). I have a lot of Asian hair, and she was patient, thorough, and treated my hair with such respect. She helped me what kind of ombré to go for this time around and I really trust her taste and judgment.
I freaking love my hair! Could not be happier. And what was awesome was that I discovered how great she does with cuts as well. She’s a perfectionist – a lot of other people I’ve gone to can let me walk out the door, only to discover on my own that a strand here or there is sticking out /​clearly the wrong length, etc. Not so with Casey! She’s knowledgeable, so very professional, and kind. I felt no nerves about getting my hair dyed for the first time at all. Great experience.

Re: Casey. I have known Casey for several years around town and as a professional. Her attitude toward work is only one of the highest of professionalism and her care toward her clients, one of the greatest. She does everything in her power to guarantee that you are happy and leave the salon looking and feeling like a rock star. I believe a certain review that Emily B made was a very particular case that was vindictive and blown way out of proportion. And one of which left out some important facts regarding the situation. Please check out other reviews and don’t take one as gospel.

I am so happy with my cut from Casey at Salon Blonde. She has amazing instincts and works to give you the result you want. I hate styling my hair and asked for messy layers that would just dry naturally and didn’t need to be styled. The result is exactly what I’ve always wanted my hair to do. Casey is a life saver. Sometimes you need to schedule a bit in advance, (as mentioned in the review a few down) but Casey is always friendly and does her best to get you in. In my opinion, most decent stylists have a bit of a wait and it is well worth it for a stylist that is good enough to be in high demand. She does all her own scheduling so it’s not like there is a receptionist who schedules her stuff for her. Given the prices, the service, and Casey’s amazing attitude, style and skill level, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a cut in this area.

I love this little salon and I am VERY happy with the quality of service, cut & coloring, pricing, and my overall experience! I LOVE Casey! she is just such a wonderful stylist and colorist.
She took the time to go through all of the options for color with me to think about the subtleties of the color and how it would look with my skin tone, eyes, etc. (I went for a lovely dark rich chocolate brown and she added some gold to add dimension) and to top it off she gave me a FABULOUS cut (I told her I wanted something new but not too drastic and that I trusted her opinion and she came up with some great layering and feathery «dual side» bangs)!
If you’re like me then you care a lot about both the quality of service and the atmosphere/​experience. I came in for a cut and overall color and I am so so so happy with it! Even weeks later my hair still looks healthy and happy!
Thank you Salon Blonde for such a cute little salon that provides a comfortable atmosphere and a HUGE thank you to Casey for being her wonderful, talented, thoughtful, professional, and friendly self! I will definitely be back soon! :)

Unfortunately, the customer service that I have received at Salon Blonde since the cut has completely turned me off. I do NOT think I will be visiting this salon again, which is a shame because I really liked it the first time.
I ***seriously*** called Salon Blonde five days in a row trying book an appointment with Casey, leaving a total of three messages without receiving a call back. On the fifth day of calling, she picked up the phone I was able to book an appointment with her for the upcoming week.
Two hours before my cut, Casey called me to say she had to cancel my appointment and would be out of town for the next ***three weeks***. She did not offer to reschedule with me, nor did she set me up with another stylist at the salon. When I explained to her how frustrated I was with the whole experience, she told me she was going on her honeymoon.
Now, of course I understand how important this time in her life is (my own wedding is coming up) but it is NOT an excuse for a complete LACK of professionalism.
I am really disappointed.
***EDIT: since posting this review I have been contacted multiple times by both the stylist and the shop owner to apologize. They obviously care a great deal about their business and I believe that this may have been an atypical situation.***

Once I find a stylist I like, I stick with them for as long as possible. I loved my hair stylist in L.A., but long distance travel to maintain my ‘do was not feasible. After researching different local salons and talking to classmates I settled on Salon Blonde. I called the salon for an appointment and Sherri answered. I told her I was looking for someone to do my late 60’s/early 70’s shag cut and she immediately understood the style I was describing. Thankfully Sherri had an open appointment the next week and I decided to take the plunge.
Thank goodness I did! She listened to what I wanted, carefully studied the structure of my hair, followed the lines of the cut, and frequently sought feedback on the length, layers, and styling. The outcome was exactly what I had hoped for! And it passed the home styling test too… looks just as good as when I left the salon.
I’m so relieved to have found a great local stylist. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sherri to anyone looking for an expert hair artist.

I have visited this salon before but I haven’t had the time to write a review so this is a long one. Let me just put it out there that I LOVE this salon!!! I have been to many salons before here and there but no one is as awesome and really sweet as the people from salon blonde! Casey was my hair stylist that day and she was super accommodating and concerned about my hair and style from start to finish. I wanted to do something daring-​a new change for a new year so I decided to go for a a-​line bobcut with some bright popping colors! I went with a pretty set idea of hairstyle but a vague idea of what I wanted as colors and was open to ideas and she recommended ombré style for the color and I listened– and my hair transformed in her hands like rainbow magic! I know that many girls are afraid of big changes but I’m young in college so it’s now or never! No regrets! And as soon as I left the salon I received many compliments and many more stares from people which I loved! Yay thank you Casey and Salon Blonde for such an amazing hairstyle and service! So Unilocalers, If you want something different and aren’t scared of doing something out of the comfort zone Salon Blonde is for you!!! But they also do pretty awesome down to earth stuff too so this is my go to salon and this is coming from a girl who counts weeks before she can get her new hairstyle in a salon

I Love this salon!!! I have been seeing «Liz Robson» for about 3 years and couldn’t be happier. Aside from always getting an incredible haircut and highlight and, believe me my hair is not easy, I always leave feeling uplifted and pampered. Liz absolutely loves what she is doing and it shows in her styling and attention to her clients.
You know you have gotten a good cut when it grows out into another style altogether and great highlights when people think your gray is coming in so beautifully naturally… hah…love that they think my hair color is natural! :o)
Thank you Liz and Salon Blonde!

I went to salon blonde a couple of months ago. I hate to write reviews but after started looking for another hairstylist I noticed that maybe my review will help someone else.
Well, the sad story started when I moved to Davis almost one and a half year ago. Without any success, I have tried to find a decent hairstylist that help me take care of my A-​line. My hair is super straight and very dense which seems to be an enormous challenger for the average hairstylist. After visiting 5 or 6 salons, no one had gave me an even haircut. I went to see Liz after reading these reviews and others on Davis wiki, I explicitly asked her that I do not wanted layers on the sides and that I wanted to keep, as most as possible, the length. After finishing the job my hair looked nice, but the day after once I wash it, everything changed. She did exactly the opposite that I asked her, and now I have to live with my horrible hair cut until I find another hairstylist with a better technique. I was incredible disappointed, so please be aware that maybe here, you will not get the perfect haircut that you want.

Liz is a great colorist and stylist. Personal attention and detailed copious notes about what worked for my hair. I really enjoy coming here and am happy with the results. I leave with an nice color and cut every time. I had to ding a couple stars because it has been extremely difficult to get an appointment to see her. Even for a simple haircut – she was booked out over a month! Hard to get a hold of as well, so I feel the experience has become a bit jaded.

I don’t get to the salon very often, but as an end-​of-​the-​schoolyear present to myself, I decided to spring from some highlights.
Last summer I attempted to go blonde myself and ended and bleaching (and subsequently ruining) my hair, a mistake from which it still hasn’t fully recovered. I’ve colored it several times since then; once immediately after to fix the disaster I’d created with the bleach (I employed the help of a professional for that one), and then once or twice over the course of the school year with some drugstore hair color (only going darker this time. I learned my lesson). But, with summer coming up and everything, I thought some blonde would be a welcome change. This time I didn’t kid myself; I’m obviously incapable of handling anything beyond a simple dye job so I made an appointment at Salon Blonde after reading the glowing reviews here on Unilocal.
I saw Casey a few days ago and told her my hair’s life story to see what she thought would be the best course of action. She was pretty straightforward with me, telling me that going too blonde probably wouldn’t be the best idea given my frequent coloring and the current shade of brown my hair was. That being said, she found a nice shade of blonde to complement the lighter shade at the tips of my hair (I guess that area had retained some of the bleach from last summer, which was a big reason I went to the salon in the first place) and evened everything out with some toner so the blonde wouldn’t end up getting brassy. The toner won’t fully work its way out of my hair for a little while still (when it does, my hair should be even more blonde), but I can already tell it’s gonna look great. I really appreciated her honesty and concern not only for how my hair would look right after, but also weeks and months down the road. And, on top of everything, she was a cool person to chat with. Usually I get bored getting my hair done, but not this time.
To summarize, Salon Blonde is a great little shop and Casey was an excellent stylist. She was very attentive and honest about what I should expect from my highlights. I’ll definitely go back here when I need my hair done again, especially since as far as highlights go, it wasn’t too expensive.

Last week I had my third appointment with Liz at Salon Blonde and I could not be happier. Every time she does my hair, she finds a way to impress me more and more! I tend to be very picky with my hair and never enjoyed having to get it cut, but since Liz started cutting my hair, I’ve looked forward to my appointments. She always makes the cut beautiful with perfect layers. And if you’re indecisive about what you want to do with your hair, (like I totally am!), Liz is one of the only hair stylists I’ve been to that has been able to be just look at me and know what to do, and I love that about her.
Also, last week I decided to have LIz give me highlights, which I haven’t done in years, and they turned out absolutely beautiful, and exactly how I wanted them. She didn’t even have to test the color on me, I just described what I wanted and she knew exactly what to do. I wish I could attach a picture for everyone to see how nicely they turned out :). I don’t think I’ve ever had so many people compliment my hair in one day before! Also, Liz is great at giving tips on how to style your hair in ways that will prevent it from getting too damaged. She also knows just which products are best to use and are the most affordable.
Finally, not only is Liz one of the best stylists I have ever been to, she is also such a sweet girl and so easy and fun to talk to, as are the other stylists at Salon Blonde. Everyone is so friendly and easy to talk to, and it is such a great environment, which I think is a really important quality in a salon. This is definitely the best salon I have been to in a long time, and I recommend Liz to anyone who is looking for a beautiful cut or color, or both!

I’ve been coming to Aubrey, one of the salon owners, for three years. When I moved to Davis I looked all over town for a great stylist who was both professional and not drastically overpriced for my student budget. Aubrey is amazing and has always given me a great haircut. She uses Enjoy products, and has given me great recommendations for things to use at home. I’ve also gotten a deep conditioning treatment at the salon, which I highly recommend for those who have long, or sun/​chemically damaged hair.
My only complaint is that she is becoming so popular it is hard to book an appointment sometimes!
