About

Sarah Zebb opened Therapy Salon in 2014 after seeing a need for a salon that followed Aveda's mission in a setting that felt professional but relaxed. The salon is at 199 2nd Street in Los Altos and is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Haircuts are booked for one hour and include a personalized consultation, a scalp and neck massage and a blow-dry, with extra time possible for longer or thicker hair. First-time cut guests complete an online hair consultation before their visit. Color cannot be booked online; clients contact the salon by email or text, and first-time color guests either complete the online consultation form or book a free in-person consultation. Prices vary with stylist experience and education, and starting prices may reflect developing stylists. Cancellations with 24 to 48 hours' notice are charged half the service price, and cancellations under 24 hours or missed appointments are charged the full price.

The color menu includes root touch-ups, all-over color, demi-permanent options, bleach and tone, vivid fashion shades, corrective color, color removal before a new service, face-framing color, and highlights and balayage in partial and full versions, with root color combinations. Express color is available for existing guests with an established formula. It is custom-mixed and applied at the salon, then rinsed at home. It is not offered for highlights or high-lift formulas, and the first Express visit includes a $25 reusable hair wrap.

The salon supports Wigs for Kids, which provides wigs at no cost to families of children losing hair to chemotherapy or alopecia. It also describes its team benefits as including continuing education, competitive pay, flexible scheduling, one-on-one support, health insurance, a 401(k) plan, product and service discounts, and in-salon training and industry events.

Aveda's mission guides the salon, with products the salon says are up to 96% naturally derived from organic ingredients and packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled material. Aveda states that it is Leaping Bunny approved and has opposed animal testing since 1978, and describes its color formulas as vegan and plant-powered.

A professional yet relaxed setting, according to the salon's founding account.
