About Running With Scissors Murrieta
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.

Salon O
Salon O on Murrieta Hot Springs Road operates as a general-service salon handling cuts, color, and styling for a mixed clientele — the kind of full-roster operation where a stylist can do a root touch-up and a blunt bob in the same afternoon, rather than a specialist studio focused on one technique. Booking is appointment-based, which means no walk-in waits but also requires planning ahead for weekend slots during the seasonal crunch. The typical client cycles through every six to eight weeks for maintenance — regular color appointments, trim-and-style cycles, occasional event prep. Parents also bring kids for first cuts and back-to-school trims, adding to the mid-summer traffic. For someone seeking a multi-session dimensional-color project or specialized extensions work, a dedicated color studio might be the deeper fit. For residents managing routine cuts and color touch-ups on a predictable schedule, Salon O fills that neighborhood convenience slot where a single stylist relationship matters more than a specific technique specialty.
The Platinum Salon
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.
