About

Theory is one of the Capital Beauty salons, alongside Wave House and The State Co. It sits in downtown Pleasanton and describes itself as a place where creative work and the local community meet.

Every new guest starts with a complimentary consultation. Before a first appointment, new clients can complete a form covering their hair history, texture and density, and whether they need PPD-free or ammonia-free color. That gives the stylist a starting point before any work begins.

The menu is entirely hair services. Haircuts are shaped around each client's features, daily routine and style goals. Color work includes all-over color, root touch-ups and toners, hand-painted balayage and ombre, dimensional blonding built from several tones, highlights and lowlights, and vivid fashion color along with color correction.

Texture and care services include smoothing treatments for frizz and shine, conditioning treatments for hydration and strength, and perms customized for body, texture or curl. Blowouts and shampoo are offered, and hair extensions are blended for a natural look. For weddings and other special occasions, the salon offers updos and braids.

Each visit starts with a consultation and an intake form, so the service is planned around the client's hair history and goals.
