Parkway, CA Beauty and Salons

Specializing in all aspects of hairstyling, Canvas Salon’s talented staff of hair tamers is led by Cherry Doran Johnson and Lorraine Blanco, who boast decades of follicle-forming experience. Visitors can get a look-rejuvenating haircut and a volume-boosting style that will accessorize any outfit better than a pair of road-flare earrings. While customers wind down and relax, away from noisy traffic and marauding city invaders, the friendly tress-masters will swaddle your locks in a conditioning shine masque ($15–$20) that penetrates each strand to soften and add a lustrous shine.

It might be more accurate to call Todd Buckley and Sara Tittle the artistic directors rather than the owners of Mosaic Salon—he recruits promising stylists and she trains them in the methods of Vidal Sassoon, Toni & Guy, and other top industry names. They then put the best stylists on the salon floor, arming them with products from Kérastase and Bumble and bumble, professional styling tools, and shears forged by long-haired artisan blacksmiths. In addition to providing hair services, Mosaic's team refines the rest of clients’ images with face and body treatments using SkinCeuticals and Dermalogica skincare products.

The stylists of Envy Salon & Spa have partnered with the high-end Kérastase haircare line to bring their clients effective treatments that leave hair shining. Stylists utilize their training from top schools such as Vidal Sassoon to design flattering coifs, add subtle highlights, or lengthen natural hair with weaves. When they’re not grooming strands, beauty specialists wax away unwanted hair and milk moustaches and help clients manage acne and wrinkles with Dermologica and Jan Marini facials.

Since 1985, the skilled cast of stylists at Hair To Dye For has revamped styles with precision cuts and color treatments. Shabby, overgrown locks hit the salon’s floor as stylists carefully shear strands and remove powdered wigs left over from courtroom stints in England. The crew adds a bit of flair to ho-hum tresses with two-toned ombre color treatments, highlights, and full-color transformations. They iron-out unwanted curls and kinks or add bounce with spiral perms. The salon also gussies up digits with shellac manicures and pedicures and acrylic sets.

Founded on the idea that guests are "treated as royalty," DQ Salon, short for Drama Queen, fields a staff of stylists that crafts new hairstyles atop clients, whose reflection is already festooned with giant, iron crowns that rest above salon mirrors. Using natural and organic products and Rapunzel's self-help book, the salon’s experts trim tresses, change hues, remove unwanted stubble, and meticulously groom fingers and toes with hair and nail services.
