The room
Two blocks off Main Street. Recently remodeled.
Haven sits at 2804 G Street, two blocks off Main, with parking out front and a friendly office dog who'll greet you at the door. The room was recently remodeled into a classy, sophisticated salon with comfortable chairs, honest lighting, and whoever's playlist is winning the day.
We opened in 2018 to give Merced a salon where you can walk in for a cleanup and walk out with a plan you actually like — without sticker shock and without the upsell. Reservations only. The book usually fills two to three weeks ahead, so plan accordingly.
Wheelchair accessible. Free Wi-Fi. We accept all major cards plus contactless.
The menu
Services + ranges.
Final pricing depends on length and density — we'll confirm on the consult before any color goes on.
