About

The salon describes itself as a high-end salon and an educational resource, and says it is the first of its kind in Northern California. According to the salon, it was founded on quality, respectability and artistry, and it aims to pass timeless styling techniques on to the next generation of stylists. It cites more than 45 years of industry experience.

The salon is at 675 Ygnacio Valley Rd, Suite B106, in Walnut Creek, and its office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. Haircut appointments include a consultation, the cut and a blow-dry style. Color appointments include a consultation, toner or gloss and a blow-dry style. Keratin and permanent waving need a consultation before booking, and so do balayage, ombre and lightening or bleaching for virgin hair, whose prices depend on length, density and any previous chemical services.

Education is a large part of the business. Advanced classes cover classic to modern styles as well as curly and ethnic hair, and continuing education is offered to new and established stylists. Clients interested in haircut, color, styling or chemical services can also book as a model. The space is available for event rental.

The salon's aesthetic services page lists two practitioners: Jasmine Cervantes, who runs Inner Essence Beauty Bar, and Lia Roman, listed under SFC Skincare.
