      I'd been reluctant to dye my hair after a previous job (at a different salon) left it feeling rather dry and damaged. However, after regrowing and taking care of my hair for 4 years, I got my hair dyed by Kendall at Blade & Arrow and I could not be happier with the result.

      Not only is the atmosphere super comfy, clean, and inviting, Kendall did an AMAZING job on my lived-in, golden-brown balayage. My hair still feels SUPER healthy, and Kendall even recommended some products to help keep the look fresh and maintained. I left the salon feeling so confident, both in looks and knowing that I could keep the look fresh at home. Thank you!! :))

      Thank you Valerie! Possibly the best haircut I've ever had. The salon is beautiful, and Valerie is a master. I highly recommend.

      Kendall is a master of the craft! She has been my go-to stylist for 20+ years. Over the years, I've experimented with every color and cut imaginable. She's always up for the challenge and executes each service to perfection. Despite the many color services I've received, Kendall has always maintained the integrity of my hair. She also recommends the best products for at-home maintenance. She is thoughtful, careful, and considerate- a service has never been rushed. On top of that, the salon is gorgeous. The space is open, serene, and well-maintained- always a peaceful and relaxing experience. Love that the salon uses non-toxic hair color, free of all the bad things, so you're not greeted with the overwhelming scent of chemicals. Parking has been easy to find, too! Check this place out.
      10/10 recommend this salon!

      Wow, so happy to have found Blade & Arrow! I actually won a free haircut from this salon at the last Solano Stroll, lucky me!

      Betty is amazing! She listened to all my hair desires, counseled me and gave me the most beautiful, long layered razor cut taking me from drab to fab.

      The pay structure at this salon is a newer concept for me that is based on set hourly rates for the stylists with gratuity factored in. I think it's great way to do it.

      The salon is absolutely stunning, so light and airy, clean and comfortable and functional too!

      I felt welcomed and heard and left totally satisfied, it was a great experience.

      Come see for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

      I am so thrilled to leave a review for my long-time hairstylist Kendall. Recently, Kendall Lockaby co-opened Blade & Arrow with Betty McCain-Ayala. It is a beautiful salon and with the exceptional skills and creativity that all the staff have I know Blade & Arrow is going to be a huge success!!
      Kendall's attention to detail and personalized service makes every visit a delightful experience. I appreciate her professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to making me look and feel my best. I always leave the salon feeling confident and my curly hair looking amazing . I highly recommend Kendall to anyone seeking top-notch hair care services.

      Kendall is a very talented and knowledgeable hairstylist. I have been following Kendall for 20 years, I value the education she shares on products, hair color, curly hair cuts. Over the years she has taught me what works for curly hair and suggests beautiful color to enhance my features. I highly recommended Kendall and all the amazing team at Blade & Arrow.

      Betty is outstanding and the salon is gorgeous with a real commitment to non-toxic and environmentally friendly products. My hair color requests were complex - highlights, lowlights, grey blending and revising previous color- and she got it SPOT ON! I have very curly hair and she cut it and styled it better than any "curl specialist" I have seen in the past. I'm truly amazed by her work and couldn't recommend her more!
