Our Story

A boutique Aveda concept salon in Long Beach, California since 1992.

Weโ€™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.

The name "Soma" reflects our belief that great hair care is a full mind-and-body experience. From the moment you walk in, we want you to feel taken care of and confident. That's why we chose to partner with Aveda โ€” their commitment to plant-powered, cruelty-free beauty aligns perfectly with how we think 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.

For over 40 years, Tula Trigonis has been part of the Belmont Shore community, creating a salon experience that feels welcoming, personalized, and refreshingly down-to-earth.

Why Aveda?

As an Aveda salon, we use Aveda color and styling products in our services. 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 โ€” no appointment required.

Just walk in or shop online.
