The Vivace House

The Vivace House is a hair salon in Downtown Pleasanton, founded in 2006 by mother and daughter Denise Oxsen and Rachel Mclelland. It is known for haircuts, color, balayage and keratin treatments, and it carries Kevin Murphy products as a Kevin Murphy Session Salon. Stylists focus on teaching clients about their hair, the products they use and current trends.

Appointments are booked online or by phone. Because every service is tailored to the client, the salon does not quote prices over the phone or by email, so the starting prices listed on its services page are the best guide. The salon sits in a 1911 craftsman house on Railroad Avenue, which has a homey feel rather than a typical salon look. Brow waxing and microblading are also offered, and Saturday hours end earlier than the rest of the week.
