About Jonathan David Salon
Jonathan David Salon is a full service hair salon at 2426 Park Boulevard, a short walk from California Avenue and its train station. It offers cuts for women and men, a wide menu of color work, smoothing treatments and styling for weddings and other events. The salon welcomes drop-ins and also books appointments by phone, by email and through a booking page on its website.
The salon is open Tuesday through Saturday and closed on Sunday and Monday. Thursday is the late day, with hours until 7 p.m., while Saturday opens a little earlier at 9:30 a.m. The website also sells hair care products through an online shop and advertises stylist stations for rent, so the team can change over time.
Services
The services page groups the work into cuts, color and treatments. As the salon lists them:
- Cuts and styling: women's and men's cuts, blow dry styling and formal hair and up-dos. Up-dos are done by consultation.
- Color: color and tint, mini, custom and full highlights, ombre and balayage, bleach and tone and color correction.
- Smoothing and straightening: express keratin, full keratin smoothing and thermal straightening.
Prices vary by stylist and by hair length, so the salon quotes individually. If you are planning a bigger color change or a correction, ask for a consultation first so the stylist can see your hair and plan the time needed.
Weddings and events
Formal hair and up-dos are offered by consultation, which gives the stylist a chance to plan the style with you before the day. Wedding and event parties need a deposit and 72 hours notice. For a bridal party, email the salon early with the date, the number of people and the services each person wants.
The stylists and products
The website lists a team of stylists: Debra Catano, America Alvarado, Claudia Huard, Emily Williams, Kim Tuozzoli, Svetlana Rylin, Ari Shahram, Michelle Cipriani and Katie Lesley. The salon says its stylists attend training and styling events to keep their skills current. Because the salon also rents stations, check the website or ask when you book to confirm who is working that day.
The salon names the product lines it works with: Aveda, Redken, Color Wow, Olaplex and Kevin Murphy. If you have a preference or a sensitivity to a product, mention it when you book.
Booking and contact
There are three ways in. You can walk in, call 650-352-4151 or book online through the salon's booking page. The salon notes that it no longer has front desk support. It says email to JDSalon@icloud.com is usually the quickest way to get an answer, so use email for questions about services, availability or a group booking.
Drop-ins are welcome, but a walk-in visit depends on who is free. For color, keratin or any service that takes a few hours, an appointment is the safer choice. Thursday evening and Saturday morning are the slots most useful to people who work weekdays.
Policies to know
The salon publishes its policies on the services page. The main points are:
- Give 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule an individual appointment.
- Wedding and event parties need a deposit and 72 hours notice.
- If you are unhappy with a service, report it within 72 hours. Corrections must be done within 7 days.
- Services are not refunded. Retail sales are final.
- The salon accepts cash and major credit cards.
The correction window is short, so look at your hair in daylight in the day or two after a color appointment and get in touch quickly if something is off.
Tips for visiting
Park Boulevard runs parallel to the Caltrain tracks just off California Avenue. That makes the salon easy to reach by train. A visit pairs well with errands or lunch on the avenue. Our California Avenue guide covers the shops and restaurants a block or two away. If you are in town on a Sunday morning, the California Avenue farmers market is nearby, though the salon itself is closed that day.
For a wedding party, contact the salon by email well ahead of the date, since the deposit and 72 hours notice apply. For more shopping in the area, see our Palo Alto shopping guide.
