HAIR originally opened its doors in 1924 as The Alameda Beauty Shop (back when Martin Luther King Jr Way was called The Alameda) at 1892 Solano Avenue (currently Tha Siam Thai Bistro). Mrs. Paulsen changed its name to Paulsen's Beauty Shop when she moved the business to its current location in 1954. Mrs. Paulsen ran the salon and her husband and their son later ran the barbershop across the street, now home to Today's Rave. In 1974, Brita Jonsson and Joyce Wolfe bought Paulsen's and changed its name to HAIR, where Evelyn Paulsen continued to work for many more years.
It is an honor and a privilege to have played a stedfast role in this community and in the lives of each and every person who has graced our doors over the years. It has been said that even Albert Einstein came in (to pick up his sister-in-law). Whether you are a longstanding client or a once in a while one, we thank you for choosing us and trusting us with your hair. We are here simply because we LOVE what we do.
