Color

This is a lightening service that focuses on framing your face where dimension is most visible. It does not address the side, back or nape of the head. If your desired result requires lightening on the sides, back, or nape of the head please book for a Partial or Full Highlight/Balayage.

Highlights/Balayage are timeless techniques to create maximum dimension, lightening and grey blending. This service can be fully customized to use multiple lightening and low lighting techniques and offers many versatile and creative ways to give you beautiful, bespoke, blonding services. This service focuses on the front hairline, above the ears and the crown of the hair, leaving the nape of the hair natural to give dimension. If you would like maximum lightening through the entire head please book our Full Highlights service.

Est. time: 3 hours

This is our most transformational and customizable highlighting/balayage service for clients who want to transform their entire look. During this service our colorists will use multiple techniques to achieve as much brightness, contrast, depth and dimension as the client desires. Our full highlight service will focus on the entire head and lengths of hair.

Est. time: 4 hours

If you are seeking a total color transformation, have extremely long/thick or compromised hair, we recommend a complimentary color consultation. All prices listed on our menu are starting prices only, during your consultation your colorist will discuss with you what your final pricing will be. We base our color pricing on the amount o product used, length, density, and condition of each client’s hair.

Prices are starting points and may vary based on service provider, hair length, texture, and desired result.

Please consult with your stylist for an accurate quote.

What Our Clients Say

Real reviews from our amazing clients.

Got a haircut from Maddy – they did an amazing job! My hair looks better than I imagined it being, they were able to take my super overgrown hair and bring it to the perfect cut that I’d been wanting! Jesy was also very helpful and professional! Very positive experience in a VERY LGBTQ+ friendly space — if you’re looking for a trans friendly and gender affirming shop, I highly recommend Petaluma Hair Company. Thank you so much!

Great salon! The stylists are talented and good at listening to what kind of style you are trying to achieve. The atmosphere is fun and friendly – clearly the stylists like each other. I have worked with two of the stylists and would trust any of them. I recommend it!

I love PHC!! I have been coming here since it opened over seven years ago, and Jesy has been giving me beautiful haircuts since even before! She is a wiz with scissors, and such a kind and funny human being. I highly recommend– it is well worth the drive from SF.

I’m visiting the area from Las Vegas and needed a partial highlight after the 10 weeks from my last hair appointment. A new young lady, Claudia, still under the watchful eye of the owner, Jesy, did a fabulous job! Claudia was so professional, and the entire staff was so sweet and welcoming. The salon is very cozy and charming, with a relaxing atmosphere. I’m thrilled with the results and would definitely return when I’m visiting the area again.
