Our Story
A boutique Aveda concept salon in Long Beach, California, since 1992.
We’ve been in the beauty business a long time.
Salon Soma was founded in 1992 with a mission to create beautiful hair in a salon that feels like home. Located on Glendora Ave in the heart of Belmont Shore, we've spent the past several decades building real relationships with our clients.
Tula chose the name “Soma,” which means body in Greek, as a nod to her cultural heritage. She wanted her clients to feel taken care of and confident from head-to-toe. She also chose to partner with Aveda for their commitment to plant-powered, cruelty-free beauty. It aligns perfectly with she thinks about taking care of people and business.
We're proud to be part of the Belmont Shore community. Many of our clients have been coming to us for years, and some have become genuine friends. Whether you're a first-timer or a regular, you're welcome here.

Why Aveda?
We use Aveda styling and care products in every service, along with Aveda, Redken, and Goldwell color lines. Aveda's formulas are plant-based, cruelty-free, and responsibly sourced. That means better results for your hair and a smaller environmental footprint.
We also carry Aveda's retail line in-store. Whether you need a new shampoo, a styling cream, or a gift set, you can shop anytime during salon hours — no appointment required.
Just walk in or shop online.
