Your Beauty Is Our Business!
Our Daily Mission…
We help women feel their best, inside and out, so you can live your very best life. It is through our intentional interactions and unparalleled service that we help our clients see what we see when we look at you, so you can ignite your inner goddess and feel like the most elegant, beautiful, empowered, and confident version of yourself, everywhere you go.
With us, every woman feels completely seen and understood, as part of our family, and you get to carry this experience with you for the rest of your life.
Our Story…
We’re a multi-generational family business so to say we know beauty is an understatement!
Our founder, Wade Durling, opened the salon in 1995 with sights set on making a mark in his beloved beauty industry. His daughter, Lauren Butler, inherited the passion after growing up learning secrets of the trade from her father, mother, and grandmother.
Lauren is now Owner and Creative Director of our salon location, mobile bridal suite and Dream Skin Experiences.
These humble beginnings have transformed into 25 years of award-winning services for our Sonoma County community!

What Clients Are Saying…
"St. James salon is the best in town! I drive 30 minutes to come see Lauren and I trust her with my long locks!
Everyone here does amazing work and the environment of the salon is always fun and upbeat, if your on the search for a great stylist who is also down to earth then Lauren is your girl!”
— Sam J.
"This is a little golden nugget of a hair salon in Wikiup/Larkfield!! Wade and Lauren are the best!
So fast, friendly and the best in the industry!"
— Banyan P.
"Love, love, love this place! When you say you want a hairdresser that not only knows how to give you what you want and not damage your hair, this is the place. They are great at scheduling appointments with reasonable time. I moved from Rohnert Park to SF over 6 years ago, and still only come here. It's not because of the cost, but because of the great service.
Love this salon!"
— Nicole A.
Bridal Suite
Say "I Do" as the most beautiful version of you!
Choosing the right bridal hair and makeup vendor for your big day is even more important than dare we say, the dress! Because when it comes to feeling like the most beautiful woman in the world, that confidence comes from within.
Which is why we’ll never transform you into someone you’re not. We believe every woman has a radiating natural beauty within you, and it’s our job to reveal that beauty, and your confidence! Every bride has a specific vision for their wedding day so we make it a priority to develop a personal connection with you, creating a custom look for you that reflects your unique personal style and taste.
Now, if you’re looking for a bridal hair and makeup team based exclusively on price, we probably aren’t for you. While our prices are competitive, we aren’t the cheapest in town, and that’s because of the value and experience we deliver from the day you sign up with us - all the way to your big day.
You’ll be absolutely radiant, exuding confidence and poise from the inside out so you can relish in your special day, and marvel at your photos for a lifetime to come.
With St. James Salon, you get it all - stunning final results that will have you looking and feeling your absolute best, without the chaos or stress.

What Clients Are Saying…
"St. James Salon made my bridesmaids and I feel so at ease on my wedding day! The entire process, from reaching out to schedule a consultation, to getting my hair/make-up trial, to the big day, was seamless.
The team was so friendly and a breeze to work with. They were one of the few vendors who actually checked in and remained extremely communicative and accommodating throughout the process. Not to mention, my hair and make-up looked amazing and it was exactly what I had hoped for and more!
I would highly recommend booking the St. James Salon team to any friends and family who are planning a wedding in the Sonoma wine country area!"
— Lisa S.
"Working with Lauren and her team was awesome. I went for my hair and makeup trial about a month and a half before my big day and was in awe of Lauren's ability to take in my crazy Pinterest page and narrow down what I really wanted in my hairstyle. I loved the trial and she offered a suggestion of adding a clip or comb above my updo, which really added to it after I took off my veil for the reception.
On the day-of they worked quickly, but with care to make sure each girl was liking how the style was coming along as they went. Every girl was so happy with their style (and all of them were so different!)
Hair and makeup lasted all night with no issues, even through many tears. I would definitely use this team again, they are so talented and worked hard to ensure we were all happy and beautiful!"
— Nikole W.
