Client Love for

"I had my hair cut and colored by Zoe, and it was such an amazing experience, they would check in with me step by step of the process which I really appreciated.They did an absolutely incredible job and the atmosphere was the best vibes! Zoe listened to what I wanted and honestly knocked it out of the ball park, it’s like they copied and pasted my references to my hair which such skill and expertise!"

Different artists, different style

Not every stylist specializes in the same thing, and we think that's a good thing. Our Walnut Creek salon is home to artists who bring their own techniques, creativity, and personalities to the chair.

Client testimonial for .rae.hair

"Loved my haircut with Rachel!! She took a lot of time getting to understand what I wanted and reviewed it with me before we started which made me trust her a lot. She also had a great eye for what would work on me and my hair type. I wanted a long s**g that would still keep my ends full and she totally delivered and I loved the bangs she did!!

We believe in individuality

Our stylists don't all dress alike, work alike, or create the same kind of hair. We love that. Different perspectives and techniques are what make our salon such an interesting place to be.
