Grove Salon

Long overdue review for this wonderful neighborhood salon. I’ve been coming to Grove Salon on and off for more than a decade and have had the pleasure of working with so many talented stylists over the years, including Sondra, Celine, Sara, and Kevin. The fact that stylists stay for so long really says everything about the culture here. Kevin does a beautiful job cultivating a collaborative, spirited environment, and it shows the moment you walk in. I also love that they feature local artists. My only complaint is that by the time I get there, everything I want has already been scooped up. Honestly, it’s worth stopping by just to see the gallery alone. If you’re looking for a steady, feel-good place where you can relax, be taken care of, and walk out feeling better than ever, this is it.

I have been going to the same hairstylist for 20+ years and she retired so I was so excited and nervous to try a new spot. Not only is Grove Solon so dang cute inside but Sondra went above and beyond and gave me exactly what I was looking for, I’m a lazy girl and don’t do a lot of product and I’m not gonna spent a bunch of time but Sondra listened to all of my request and gave me the perfect shaggy cut with the coolest girl bangs an the color magic she did was better than I could explain. She also suggested product that has been perfect for my lifestyle. 100% recommend Grove Solon and Sondra! She gave confidence more than my therapist has in years. 😜

Love my visits to Grove Salon. I can get in and out quickly on a busy day or relax and hangout when I have time. Kevin is so accommodating and a pro at his craft, the staff are kind and friendly and on top of it all, they offer coffee or tea in beautiful mugs! Did I mention the local artists' rotating shows?

Always so nice talking to the people there! I've been with three different hairstylists and they've all been so great at listening and styling, love it. Front desk people were also so nice is offering and making my coffee, awhh!!

At the recommendation of a friend when moving to Berkeley, I tried Grove and fell in love with the staff and ambience. I saw Sondra for cuts and occasional highlights, and she did an excellent job with my lazy girl (or as she preferred to call it, low maintenance) style. She listened to my preferences and was wonderful to spend a few hours with. I highly recommend Grove Salon and Sondra. I still make appointments when I pass through as I miss them so much since moving across the country.
