About

Twenty years of runway. One studio in Oakland.

Pony Studios opened in 2019 with hair legend and Bumble & Bumble founder Michael Gordon cheering from the sidelines. Corinna brought with her a career of NYC, Paris and Milan fashion weeks and the layering curriculum she'd already taught at hundreds of salons.

A great designer once told her you should have three things in a space: a mix of vintage, modernity, and wanderlust. That's what we built — a working salon you can also learn from.

Sustainability

Over 95% of salon waste diverted from landfills. Net-negative carbon commitment.

Community

10% of profits donated to Planned Parenthood, Covenant House, OPEF and SF SafeHouse.

"The best salon ever!!! Tiffany is so kind and a pro. She did a color correction treatment on me and I'm loving the result! Then I cut my own bangs (as one does) and they looked so bad but Grant got me in for a last minute appointment and SAVED ME!! I feel so cute."

"Corinna is truly a hair genius. I explained what I didn't like about the shape of my hair and the way I felt like it wasn't flattering my face as much as it could. Not only did she listen, but she solved the problem and created volume without weight, and shape with the magic of her scissors!! It's a style-able haircut that looks good no matter what I do!!"

"I've gotten all of my best hair cuts from Pony! Pamela does a great job, I often like my hair even more after I wash and dry it without styling. Her cuts grow out beautifully and the service is excellent. I have thick straight hair and she does a great job of thinning it out to create texture and volume."
