Generations Spa Salon

Let me start off with the positive, the salon is clean, super cute, staff is friendly, price point is reasonable if you get what you want.
The stylist that worked on my hair was Amber, super nice and talkative.
Ok now for my experience, I came in with a picture of the cut I was going for. Nothing crazy just a simple cut, so I thought. I was going from long hair, mid back, to collarbone length. Well that’s not what I got, my hair is chin length. About 3 to 4 inches too short :-(. Now I have helmet hair as my daughter pointed out. I came home still in shock! I don’t think I even processed what had just happened in the salon because my hair was a lot shorter than what I was expecting. I think I even tipped her, my head was spinning.
I have a lot of hair and I need a lot of weight taken off, I’ve had this done numerous times over the years I know what technique works and which one doesn’t on my hair.
Now I need to wait 6 months to get my helmet hair to the length it needs to be at and follow my old stylist in Riverbank.
At the end she was trying to book me for color, I was like, I’ll call you I need to talk with my husband. Needless to say I won’t be calling her. Kind of sad becauseI really wanted to find someone local.

My mom and I have been going to Generations for years and we love it! We both get our hair done by Amber and she is amazing and I know that all the other stylists are great too. Everyone there is very professional and friendly, the owner Sherri is very sweet and knows all of her customers on a personal basis. If you want to get your hair done right or get a great massage this is the place to go!

Great place it get it all done! Want a facial… go see Margie. Want a massage… go see Ashley. Hair… well they are all great there. Just love this Salon!!!

I have had an amazing experience with Generations Spa and Salon! First off I notice the family oriented atmosphere which was cool because there was people of all ages and they dont cater to just one prototype ! Each time I visit Generations I see happy smiling faces. I am a person who needs to feel comfortable when I recieve any service and every one of the girls at Generations goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and happy! The place has a stress free, cozy ambiance and is very welcoming (making it easy to want to come back.) All of the stylists are awesome! Love this place and will continue to go back whenever I visit ripon again.

The 2 Star Rating is based on my overall experience at Generations. You could tell there was tension in the air with the staff and one of the girls was actually listening to my conversation I was having with my stylist!!! After that I thought about going to another salon but I absolutely love the girl that does my hair!!! I am very uncomfortable though because the staff seems really catty. Hopefully I won’t have to go there again because you should be able to go a salon and relax and have «girl time». Seriously, Generations wants to be that place but they need to call Tabitha!!!

Love, love, love their spa services! Margie and Ashley are awesome! Warm, elegant salon with attention to detail, a great staff, and all the little extras that make you feel welcome and special. Good job ladies!

Tracy was awesome. My hair cut and highlights had grown out and I couldn’t get ahold of my old hair stylist. I called up Generations Spa and Salon. My appointment with Tracy was fabulous. She knew exactly what to do. She did a better job than the lady I had been going to for years. I would recommend her to anyone looking to freshen up their style or is just not getting what they are wanting from their stylist. She is very nice and personable which also helps when you are stilling there for 2 hours getting highlights. The pricing was very affordable too.

i have been going to sarah for years now (followed her from friends salon) and she has always done a great job cutting my hair. she listens to me! that’s one of the most important things a stylist can do! i love going to generations! the salon is always clean and everyone is very friendly. it’s very comfortable and they always serve refreshments. it’s a quiet place and very relaxing! i never feel rushed (like some other places i’ve gone to ie. salon salon

Tracy did a fabulous job on my highlights! Not only is she personable and competent, her prices are extremely reasonable ($ 75 for partial highlights and cut/​style). The salon is cute and inviting and the staff is very welcoming. After spending so much time looking for a stylist in San Francisco, I have now decided that going to see Tracy is worth the 1.5 hour drive from the city to Ripon. I am now looking forward to trying out some of the other spa services that Generations has to offer!

This is the Spa/​Salon That I have Gone to for 3 Years Now.
The Staff is Fantastic! The Mom and 2 Daughters that own it are very giving and down to earth. The Salon is Clean, and comfortable. I could just stay in there forever.
Highly Recommend.

Needed to hide Farmer Brown tan lines on my arms, and legs so I could wear a nice dress for an upcoming wedding. Staff suggested a spray tan. Worked beautifully. It was quick, smelled great, and made me a pretty color. I would do this again in a minute! :)

I had a great experience at Generations. Massage was relaxing and the staff was friendly. Place was clean with Good ambiance. Reasonably priced also.
I hope to go again, and not just for the free soda.

Okay… My review is based on a few things… My husband gets his hair cut there and it always looks great. Best I’ve seen from around town. Once he went to California Styling and I wanted to laugh. It was the worst cut ever! So to his stylist at Generations Spa Salon, 5 stars!!!
So.the 3 stars are actually for the 2 not so good visits I’ve had there. My first visit I made an appointment for a facial. I was familiar with the ILIKE products they were using at the time. I informed the Esthetician I wanted extractions. She busted out a lancet, poked one non existent thing and that was it. I was thinking… uhhh okay… She also just put product on and sat there most of the time. I was pretty disappointed, what happened to all the massage? I’ve had a lot of facials, this wasn’t a great one and nothing I would rebook for.
I was also given a Gift Certificate for Mother’s Day for a Massage. I’m fairly new to the area so I didn’t know where to get a good massage. I decided to give this place another shot so I actually asked for a gift certificate from there. Worst massage I have ever had in my life! For starters I booked a 90 minute. When I arrived the Massage therapist informed me she didn’t do a 90 minute and I could either do a 60 minute or add the 30 minutes for the 30 minute price. I was slightly offended by that since if I cared about the price I would’ve asked before booking it! Secondly, I informed her I needed most time on upper back and shoulders. I was face up for at least an hour and 10 minutes. I was so irritated after the first hour I so wanted to just say «okay, I’m done!». Anyhow I endured the other 30 minutes thinking what a waste of money and that I needed another massage!!! Totally disappointing!
Overall 5 stars for hair 1 star for spa services.
