A North Davis Salon Near UC Davis
Creative Hair & Spa is a full-service family salon located in Oak Tree Plaza in North Davis, near Nugget Market and CVS. To be upfront about location: we're not on the UC Davis campus and we're not downtown — we're in a North Davis shopping center, a drive from campus.
For 20+ years we've served Davis and UC Davis families who want quality haircuts, color, and styling in a relaxed, neighborhood setting. Walk-ins are welcome any time we're open, and appointments can be booked online whenever it suits your schedule.

Convenient for UC Davis Students & Staff
A lot of our clients are UC Davis students, faculty, and staff looking for a salon that's easy to fit around a busy schedule. Since online booking is open any time, you don't have to call during business hours to find a slot — book late at night between classes or on a study break, and pick a time that works around labs, lectures, or shifts. If your schedule is unpredictable, walk-ins are always welcome during business hours as well, so you're not locked into a single option.
Many students come in at the start of a new quarter for a fresh cut or color, or before heading home for a break. Because Creative Hair & Spa is a full-service, multi-generational salon — not a campus-only or walk-in-only chain — you can also build a relationship with a stylist you'll come back to throughout your time in Davis.
