A Local Guide to Self-Care on the Sonoma Plaza
Start Your Day at the Salon
There is something about walking across the Sonoma Plaza on a quiet morning that sets the tone for the whole day. At Salon Novo, we open at 9 AM Tuesday through Saturday — early enough to start your self-care day with a fresh blowout, a trim, or a color refresh.

Walk the Plaza
After your appointment, take a lap around the Plaza. It is the largest town square in California and one of the most peaceful places in Sonoma County. On Tuesday evenings in summer, there is live music. On Fridays, the farmers market brings out the best local produce, flowers, and artisan goods.
Stop for Something Good
The restaurants around the Plaza take the same farm-to-table approach we take with our products. Fresh, local, honest ingredients. Grab a coffee at one of the local cafes, a glass of wine at a tasting room, or a proper meal at one of the restaurants lining the square.
Browse the Shops
The businesses on the Plaza are independently owned and full of personality. You will find olive oils, handmade soaps, local art, and vintage finds — no chain stores, just Sonoma character.
Wind Down
Sonoma is surrounded by hot springs and spas. After a day on the Plaza, a soak at one of the nearby mineral springs is the perfect way to end things. Boyes Hot Springs is just a few minutes down the road.
Make It a Ritual
Self-care is not a one-time event. Our regulars at Salon Novo treat their appointments as part of a rhythm — a pause in a busy life to take care of themselves. The Plaza makes it easy to turn a haircut into a whole experience.
