Ali is great! He takes his time to do my hair the way I like it, and is a great conversationalist. Perhaps the best thing about Ali is that he does't try to change my hairstyle... it may be a bit old fashion but it's what I like! The shop is convenient and always clean! read more

Don't know about the cut yet. I've been waiting 20 minutes after my appointment time for someone to even say hello, let alone check me in. Front of house service is abysmal. There's a woman who looks like she might be responsible for the front desk but she hides out in the back office and refuses to make eye contact with anyone who walks in. Even if the cut is amazing, I doubt I'll be back. read more

Thank god hair grows out. Left this place with my scalp exposed after the barber shaved way to close. $70 bucks for a bad haircutt... no thank you read more

This review was a long time coming; frankly, I assumed I wrote it years ago... Kelly is the absolute best out there. A great cut every time and she's a genuine pleasure to sit down with every few weeks. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

This location is excellent. Getting your hair cut is an obligation so the experience should be as pleasant as possible. Cody is the guy who typically cuts my hair and he does a fantastic job. It's also helpful that the Marin Brewing Company occasionally leaves a couple beers laying around for patrons the price is just right for what I've experienced. read more

Random walkin - got a haircut with Ben. Ben did an excellent job on my hair. All my life I had a struggle with hair cutting places and getting my hair just right. I've visited various salons, from GreatClips all the way up to Joseph Cozza which charge $80 for mens hair cut (which is nuts!) - I don't know why I haven't gone to a barber earlier. Fairly reasonably priced and take their time to ensure your hair is EXACTLY the way you want it. The guys are laid back, know how to cut a man's hair. Highly recommend. I think I finally found my regular spot. read more

If you're looking for a real barber shop with some extremely talented barbers, this is the place. I absolutely love Cody! He's very talented and knows just how to line me up. I highly recommend this place! read more

Jamal is great! I have thick dry hair, and Jamal makes look easy. I'm so happy to have stumbled upon Barber Lane, and specifically Jamal.

Great quality and fair pricing for an unbelievable cut. Ive always gotten a great cut here and they're always attentive to whatever style I've wanted. read more

I used to go here all the time and while it was pricey I always walked away satisfied. However the last two times I've gone in (with two different barbers), I ended up with haircuts that were so terrible that I had to go find someone to fix them. For 40 I would expect to get a really solid if not great hair cut but instead I have an uneven hack job where half my hair is practically buzzed and half is so long it gets in my eyes. I'm not trying to audition for the Cure, I just want to look decent. Needless to say, I won't be patronizing them again, and if you don't want to waste 40 bucks on a terrible haircut, I'd suggest you stay away as well. read more

In the past, I have jumped from barber to barber. Always being disappointed with the end result, feeling as if I had been given one of the four generic hair cuts they pump out all day. (efficiency over quality) I've been getting my hair cut at Barber Lane for the past year and I am so happy to admit, to the world wide web, its been fantastic. I finally have found the place my majestic hair can call home. Having long hair, as a man, needs to be cut often and it requires skill, vision to cut it well. Let me start by saying, Nicky is wonderful. He has helped me get the style and look I have always been seeking. I am always very pleased with the end result. He's like a magician, turing my hair into an amazing luscious mane. I leave feeling like a new man, a lady-killer, smiling ear to ear. He has a great personality, possess the skills, and in-depth knowledge in his profession. Always have good conversations and he makes it a pleasurable, enjoyable experience. I've never been able to find someone who helps my vision become a reality, until now. I can say he is the real deal, a barber, a professional, that knows what he is doing and loves it. I leave feeling that I get more than my moneys worth because of the quality, skill, and overall experience he provides. Nicky and this place are a rarity. This place is a gem, with an awesome vibe, and modern appeal. Its always very clean, with smiling faces, and a great relaxing atmosphere. They always have good music playing too. They have a wonderful selection of different high quality hair products. It is a beautiful location, right across from the ferry terminal, where the walking over pass from the ferry meets the Marin Mart. Sometimes parking can be strange because of the food trucks or farmers market, but best place to park is the side of 24hr fitness. Just to note, make an appointment! This isn't super cuts! A place as great as this will be in high demand. All I can say is I love this place, Nicky is the man, and don't forget to tip generously. These barbers are highly skilled, high quality, and this place is classy. It has been well worth every dollar I have ever spent here. My biggest gripe about this place is that I did not find this place sooner! read more

Was turned away from a beard trim for being 6 minutes late. Was told sorry we only allot 10 minutes for a beard trim and asked to come in tomorrow. Regardless of traffic and weather conditions, only can be exactly on time for your appointment. This was so rude and unprofessional. Not to mention the shop was completely empty and the barber was just hanging out with her friend. Do not go here unless you will be here on exact time and only expect to be given a small amount of time to be worked on by the barbers. I will take extra time to travel outside of marin for my barber needs. read more

Jake west was very helpful, and gave me a great haircut. It's hard to find a good barber these days. For me at least. Jake knows his stuff

Was in the Area from Sacramento the other day and stumbled across Barber Lane...Amazing staff and best cut I have had in a long time!!! Will be driving from Sacramento to Barber Lane to get me cut from now on....Thank you!!! read more

The best shave experience available. I got the straight shave from Kelly, and it was more than I expected. Friendly, relaxing and an experience I'll be going back to as often as I can. I highly recommend this place. read more

I love this place! Kelly is the best barber! She is very nice, pays attention to detail and gives a great haircut! I highly recommend Barber Lane and Kelly! read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Jake for over a year now. It's always a great hair-cut. I love the way it looks when I first get it done and when it grows out it just gets better. It's hard to find someone great to cut my hair. I have a difficult head of hair, Jake always manages to make it look great. Jake will always ask me what I want and explains how he will make it happen, making sure I'm comfortable with the end product. I think Jake is great, But try the rest of the staff. Its super easy to make an appointment and the staff are always super friendly even if you have to wait. read more

Great atmosphere and amazing, relaxing shave and haircut!! Yessica was super friendly and she did a wonderful job with the haircut. Hopefully I can come back sometime soon! read more

Barber Lane is awesome, Best cut I've gotten (now twice) and pretty reasonable prices vs. other upscale spots (i think it was $35). I'm now a Supercuts convert. read more

A perfect hair cut every time. Averagely priced and Kelly has always done a great job and great to visit and talk with. Take it from a guy who's had a bad haircut from an unreliable recommendation. Feels nice to feel sure I'm not going to have to go through a bad hair cut couple of weeks. read more

Great Experience! Very professional stuff, love my hair cut. Will keep coming back. Walking ins are very convenient.

It's always a great experience when I get my haircut here. Even when you have to wait, the entire staff makes you feel welcomed. Great conversations and above all, great haircuts. read more

I have been going to Barber Lane since they opened, and have great experiences. I first met Kelly Patterson at Cooper Ally, then followed her to Barber Lane when they opened this cool shop across the plaza. She is a gift: professional and personal, she balances my requests with her artistry as a stylist, all with a sense of humor and engaging smile. While she was on maternity leave, Erika stepped in and I never missed a beat or an appointment. Great energy, talented people, and superb location - Rick and Ali Cooper were way ahead of the curve in creating the evolution of barber shops! read more

Loyal customer of Jake West going on 2 years. He is an excellent barber and always keeps me entertained with his dry witty sense of humor. A master craftsman setting the bar in Marin! read more

Barber Lane is an excellent place to go. Yessica Arias did my hair and she was excellent. She actually pulled me in off the street and took a shaggy looking dude and made him look like George Clooney! The whole experience was nice as she was very personable and took care of me. I was even provided a delicious latte. I am very satisfied with my hair and recommend Yessica. I learned today that one should say yes to opportunity and to say "yes" to Yessica. read more

I wish I could say anything about the actual haircuts, but twice now I have made a reservation online and arrived to find out I have no appointment. So maybe if you could get a hair cut it would be nice, but the online connection is crap. read more

I came across this place while having lunch at the Off the Grid food trucks. It looked like a nice place, very professional environment to get a haircut. I called to make an appointment and was disappointed with the receptionist or whoever answered the phone. She got the last 2 digits of my phone number wrong while making the appointment. So instead of giving her the correct 2 digits I politely said the full phone number again and she cut me off saying " thank you". She didn't even get the last 2 digits because of her rudely cutting me off. So I tried to give them again and she did the same thing cutting me off saying " thank you, thank you". In my mind I'm thinking " ok I just booked an appointment and you didn't even get the right phone number". So the appointment was booked and I confirmed the date and time with her. After I did that all I got from her was " yes, goodbye". No professionalism at all from her. A "thank you for choosing Barber Lane we look forward to seeing you tomorrow" would have been a bit better. So I didn't put up for this crap and called back to cancel the appointment. I got the answering machine. All I did was say who I was and said I'm canceling the appointment. I didn't say for what reason This review is just for the service I experienced over the phone. I work in a field where customer service is huge. This crap was uncalled for. I really wanted to try out this place and give them my business. I was going to cross the bridge pay $5 and whatever fee for a haircut. Their FB page sold me and it looked like a nice place to get a cut. Also the person who's voice is on the greeting on the answering machine is not the same voice of the person who I spoke to on the phone. read more

This place rocks! Great location, easy online booking and can't say enough great things about my haircuts from Cody! Friendliest staff you could want read more

Cody cuts our kids hair and he is great. Very personable and the guy has got style which shows in his cuts! Highly recommend him

I've now had my hair cut by Ali twice. Best haircuts I've ever had. More $$ than I'm used to paying ($45 + tip) but in this case you truly get what you pay for. Very thoughtful and conscientious hair cutter, and a nice guy. read more

My son has been getting his hair cut by Nicky since they opened. Nicky has moved to another sight (boo) and it is impossible to get an appointment (boo) and they don't have enough staff to take walking. Plus they rarely answer phone for you to see if they can fit you in. read more

I'm writing a review specifically for the hair stylist Jake West. First, when meeting Jake I was welcomed by the biggest smile and the warmest greeting. He sat me down at the chair, and asked exactly what I wanted him to do. He started right away, and kept a great conversation. Afterwards my haircut was fabulous, and was styled perfectly. He also told me exactly how to use all the products he recommended. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything and the products I bought actually helped me maintain the style he gave me. I give Jake and the salon a 5/5. read more

Kelly cut my hair. Twice. I hope she cuts it a lot more. I've paid a lot more for haircuts and gotten a lot less. Best haircut I've ever had. read more

Nikki is THE BEST. We have seen him for several years and he gives my husband and son fantastic cuts. He knows the style right for your face and is consistent. He's exceptionally kind and great with everyone. We think the shop is beautiful, always a treat to visit. We have referred friends and they have been really happy too. Always easy to get an appt.! read more

Amazing. Convenient & Professional. And so quick to book online or via phone. The service is outstanding w such attention to detail. Kelly, Jamal, phenomenal a their craft. and the straight shave is totally awesome. The online booking is super convenient and I have never had a problem... but take care to complete the process. read more

This is hands down the best place in Marin to get a haircut. Jake is amazing at cutting hair and the place is really well run. I have consistently gotten great cuts and they have a super friendly staff. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Found this place through a friend. Kelly gave my 5 year old son the most amazing hair cut! We're hooked!

Excellent place to get your hair cut!!! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Erica is great! Reasonable prices.

An excellent spot for a haircut in Marin. Nikki is the man you want to see.

I've been coming here since the store opened, and I commute all the way from SF just to get my haircut here. Nicky is not only extremely nice and friendly, but also reliable and has always given me the best haircut at a great price. I've never been as consistently satisfied with a salon or barber shop like I have at Barber Lane, so it's always worth the 30 minute drive to the north bay just so I know that my money is well spent. read more
