Running With Scissors Murrieta operates on California Oaks Road as a multi-chair salon handling cuts, color, and styling for clients across the booking spectrum. The format accommodates both standing appointments—regulars on six-to-eight-week cycles for maintenance cuts and touch-ups—and walk-in traffic for quick trims, allowing the salon to flex between scheduled color work and faster turnover services. The mix means some clients occupy a chair for thirty minutes and others for two hours, depending on what they're there for. The clientele ranges from parents bringing kids in for first haircuts to adults managing grown-out roots or pursuing dimensional color work. People scheduling months ahead for wedding-day styling sit alongside residents dropping in between errands for a straightforward cut. For color specialists seeking a dedicated chair and multi-hour session space, this layout supports that cadence; for someone needing a trim on an unpredictable schedule, the walk-in tolerance matters. Capacity and availability shift with season, peak around holidays.

The Platinum Salon operates on Washington Avenue in Historic Murrieta, positioned as a general-service salon handling cuts, color, and styling for a mixed clientele rather than specializing in one particular service. The operation runs on appointment booking, which shapes the pacing — clients arrive at their scheduled time, move through their service (whether a quick trim or a multi-hour color session), and clear the chair for the next guest. This isn't a walk-in or first-come basis. Regulars typically book on a six-to-eight-week cycle for maintenance color or trims, while others come in for event prep — bridesmaid looks, wedding-day hair, special-occasion styling. Parents bring children for first cuts and routine trims. For someone seeking a specialized stylist in extensions or complex dimensional color, the boutique specialist salons elsewhere in Murrieta may offer deeper focus. For the broader client wanting consistent care from a general operator with rotating appointments, The Platinum Salon fills that neighborhood role — the kind of place where a regular knows to book ahead rather than expect a same-day slot.

Smith Hair Salon operates on California Oaks Road in Murrieta as a general-service salon handling cuts, color, and styling for mixed clientele — the kind of multi-chair setup where stylists rotate between appointments rather than a single-stylist studio or dedicated specialist boutique. The work spans routine trims and basic color to longer color sessions, suiting both walk-in traffic and scheduled appointments depending on the day and available capacity. The typical client runs the range: regulars maintaining a cut every six to eight weeks, parents bringing kids in for back-to-school trims, and clients booking longer blocks for color correction or special-event styling. For someone seeking an extended balayage or complex color correction, a dedicated color specialist elsewhere might be the deeper fit. For a straightforward cut, a refresh between appointments, or a first haircut for a child, this format handles the routine maintenance pace most Murrieta residents rely on.

i went to go get a haircut with natalia and she was very friendly and made me feel welcome. i decided to go with something different and she reached my expectations, i love my hair so much, i love the outcome. I recommend natalia!
I got my hair dyed for the very first time ever by Goldie and she did an amazing job! She was very welcoming and made my hair look beautiful! Working with her was great and I would definitely come back to this spot as it has a friendly environment!
Brittney is awesome. She cut my son’s hair and he was really happy with it which is hard to do haha. She did an amazing job on my cut too, I absolutely LOVE my cut. I was hesitant in going short again but I am so glad I did. Thank you Brittney!
What Locals Know
Murrieta's suburban growth means most residents are working parents or commuters — salons that accommodate walk-ins for quick trims and offer weekend appointments without long waits tend to retain regulars longer than appointment-only venues.
