Bateau Hair Salon

Lauren Fergus at Bateau has become my go-to hairstylist after getting me through the most chaotic hair period of my life.

Early quarantine: I bleach my hair THREE TIMES with box stuff from Safeway out of sheer boredom. It's a frizzy, crispy mess. Then I put blue on top of it so it's a blue frizzy crispy mess.

Several months later, I try to cover the blue using a medium-brown box dye from Safeway...which turned it a terrible deep sea green.

I reach out to Lauren with this story and thus began our nearly year-long journey together. She did everything possible - research, Olaplex treatments, glosses, consulting other stylists - to keep my hair as healthy and normal-looking as possible until it grew out enough. Then she gave me the cutest haircut I've ever had - shoulder length, no more frizzy crispy blue.

5 stars!

Nicola is a master. Love how every cut looks good no matter how long I wait between cuts. Quarantine has left me with few options for haircuts and honestly my hair is still looking great! Don't trust anyone else with my cuts

This place is the best! I primarily get my hair cut by Nicola -- she really did change my whole relationship with my hair! I've been going to her for 7 years now, and she's amazing. I also really trust all the other staff there, as well. I've had various services (cuts, color, keratin) from other folks, and they're all amazing. They listen, do really amazing work, and are just nice to be around. I think they work really well as a team, and that really shows in the environment they create in the salon. I think you'll love your hair after going here!

Loved my haircut with April!!! She took the time to listen to what I was going after and did exactly what I had in mind. My curls now happily form the waves without any styling products, which I know is a sure sign of a haircut done right! Five stars all around, plus on top of tea and water they offered wine! 🍷
