Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
According to the latest city permit details Madison Reed Color Bar, with locations in San Francisco and New York, is opening in downtown Walnut Creek in Broadway Plaza. Find out more about their color system here and check out their color your hair guide here.
From their website:
For decades, women have had two options: outdated at‑home hair color, or the time and expense of a traditional salon. I created Madison Reed because I believe women deserve better than the status quo.
Madison Reed is the ultimate hair color experience-the quality of salon color in an ammonia-free formula with ingredients you can feel good about. Now there are two convenient and affordable ways you can join the hair color revolution: at home, with hair color delivered right to your door, and in our Color Bars, opening nationwide.

A new exhibit at the Bedford Gallery in downtown Walnut Creek, Personal to Political – Celebrating the African American Artists of Paulson Fontaine Press, is on display through March 25th.
From the exhibit website:
This exciting exhibition features works by 14 African American artists who have helped to shape the contemporary art conversation in the Bay Area and beyond. The show covers a wide range of prints, paintings, quilts, and sculptures, and includes an array of abstract and formal imagery. Narratives that speak to personal experiences and political perspectives are woven throughout. At the heart of this show is a Berkeley based fine art print studio—Paulson Fontaine Press—who over the past two decades has developed an unparalleled roster of internationally celebrated artists – artists like Martin Puryear , Kerry James Marshall, and the Gee’s Bend Quilters – who characterize the fresh perspectives that are today’s avant-garde.
