— 01 / Our Story

A small shop with long memory.

A Cut Above isn't a chain. It isn't trendy. It's a real Lodi neighborhood salon tucked in Suite D off South Fairmont, where the same three chairs have been turning out the best hair in town for decades.

Some of our clients have been booking the same stylist since the 1980s. Some drive over an hour. One flies in from two thousand miles away. They keep coming back because Jackie, Brenda and Sherry actually listen — and because hair done right is hair done by someone who knows yours.

"I travel 2,000 miles to get my hair done."
— Beverly, client of Brenda's

Walk in and you'll find soft music, easy conversation, and the kind of welcome that makes a salon feel like a kitchen table. New clients are always welcome. We just suggest you call ahead — the chairs fill up fast.

The styling chairs at A Cut Above
— 02 / The Chairs

Three stylists. Lifetimes of clients.

Each chair is independent. When you call, ask for the stylist by name — and if you're new, we'll happily match you to whoever has the next opening.

01

Jackie

— 20+ years behind the chair

Known for cutting "difficult" hair beautifully. Clients say she's the only one who's ever truly understood how to work with their texture — and one of the sweetest people you'll meet.

02

Brenda

— 35+ years behind the chair

The reason a client flies 2,000 miles. Brenda's been styling Lodi heads since the early eighties, and her clients tend to stay for life. Steady hand, perfect listener.

03

Sherry

— 20+ years behind the chair

Worth the drive — and her clients prove it, traveling over an hour to keep their standing appointment. Reliable, warm, and reads exactly what your hair wants to do.

Jackie has been cutting my hair for the past 20 years. She listens to exactly what I want, and does a beautiful job working with my hair (others have found it difficult to style). In addition to doing an amazing job each and every time, Jackie is one of the sweetest people I've known. If I could give above 5 stars, I would.

Brenda has been cutting my hair for 35 years or so. Around her are some really nice people as well. Couldn't even think of going anywhere else.

Sherry is the greatest. I've used her for over 20 years. Drive over an hour to use her services. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
