Melanie is awesome, she was able to fit me into an appointment after I called inquiring 3 days prior. I walked in and simply showed her a couple of pictures of what I wanted and she nailed it! She was great and very easy to communicate with and shared a lot of her knowledge with me since she was a Sebastopol native and me being new to the area. I've never had such good luck with a hairdresser, even the first time around but she 100% knew what she was doing! She's made it so easy to become the hair dresser I'll definitely come back to! Thanks Melanie!

I have to agree with a previous reviewer. While both ladies are personable, I was absolutely not impressed with their skill or expertise. I read the reviews that have, for whatever reason, risen to the top which all happen to be stellar. The harder to find reviews reveal a little more. I really wanted to give this place a shot since it's close. I even went back and tried both "stylists". While each can give an educated average/decent cut (I can do that), it is clear they are long overdue for continuing education on basic "dissection" which is a common term for stylists who know what they're doing. They also took a longer time to finish. Cost was around $40. I was paying $40 with my beloved previous stylist before she moved. She would go to NYC annually a couple of times a year to keep up with technique, products, styles, and continuing education. This was evident in her skill. The cuts I received here were no better than going to a quick, cheap, major chain. Or new students. Needless to say, I was disappointed. There's no point returning for a fix because the skill level just isn't there. Fortunately I found another place that is less expensive with higher skill level.

I was lucky enough to have a mom as a hairdresser and have had a difficult time finding someone who I feel knows their craft. Melanie is that person. She has a great personality to go along with her top notch skills. Her salon has a friendly yet professional feeling. A hidden gem for sure! I have mixes feelings writing this for fear her schedule will get booked solid if the word gets out but she deserves the kudos. Thank you Melanie!

Melanie's is a tiny shop right on "the main drag" Hiway #116 next to Viva Mexicana (best high-quality Mexican restaurant in Sebastopol with gluten-free and vegan selections). You get great personal attention from Melanie and Mary, as well as precision cuts and care.

I just got my hair cut by Melanie and am very happy with the outcome. She is so talented! Please go see her. She layered my previously long straight hair to Accenture the natural wave and no longer have to blow dry it. So happy.

Melanie is an undiscovered gem in Sebastopol. She has the uncanny ability to understand what you want and transform your hair into something amazing. Shhhhhh! Don't tell.

Mary W. is an excellent hair stylist. I've been seeing her for many years. I used to drive from SR to Willits to see her when she owned her own salon there; it's great to have her back in Sebastopol. Mary is doubly talented as she is an experienced hair cutter and she is an expert at coloring. It's hard to find someone who is great at both. Although Melanie's is not an Aveda Salon, Mary was trained by Aveda and worked with it for many years, which I find makes a difference. Mary really listens to and accommodates the client's wishes even as she might make a recommendation. Melanie's is a small and comfortable salon, and the services are a reasonable price. I'd recommend Mary to anyone looking for an excellent stylist.
