The salon is bright and clean, and there's always a good vibe. The stylists all seem to genuinely be friends with each other so it's a pleasant place to spend time.

I must have gotten lucky because Jenny Sack was the first stylist I tried and I have never gone anywhere else! Bottom line- Jenny is a master at cutting hair! My husband is a client of hers as well. Pricing is very reasonable (which is something I don't find myself saying often in Marin!) The salon itself is unassuming but it gets the job done. I love that it's usually pretty quiet (on most occasions I am the only client...or maybe there will be one other stylist and client there). Parking is easy in the structure behind the salon and they give you an hour free. Thank you James Rose!

I've been going to Mollie for years and cannot imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. She has…read more40 years of experience and is a true artist -- her balayage looks so natural people genuinely can't tell my hair is colored. As a busy working mom I only get in every 6 months, and her work still looks incredible at the 6-month mark. That's artistry. But what really sets Mollie apart is how she treats people. She'll squeeze you in before a big trip, suggest a fresh idea with just the right gentle nudge, and always throw in a little something extra -- a treatment, a product, a crystal, a connection. My daughters think a day at Mollie's beats Disneyland. She does their hair tinsel, gives them snacks and a cozy chair, and recruits them to help blow dry my hair. She's even come to our house to cut their hair when life got crazy. Mollie isn't just a stylist. She's a gem.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Had a fun conversation with her and I was so grateful I finally learned to pronounce the brand Davines correctly (It's DA-Vee-ness)because of Annie :D She gave a nice hair blowout, styled it effortlessly (from my view) and was very gentle to my hair. I would recommend Annie if you are looking to get a hair cut! The salon is quite spacious and carries Davines and Oway (natural and organic hair products). Annie used a bunch of Davines products on my hair and my hair feels really soft, shiny and smells great! I bought a small tube of Oway hair conditioner to try. The friendly receptionist was super helpful and helped me find the product I was looking for. I paid $85 plus tax (wash, cut & style).Totally worth it. I've overpaid for bad haircuts in the city (SF & NYC) before so this is quite reasonable for me My only complaint is probably the dust on the products and the tables, especially by the front where the water jar is. However, Annie's station was clean & had less dust and I was so grateful!
