D&O Salon is a wonderful place--always clean, with easy parking and a very convenient location. It makes every visit feel smooth and stress-free from the moment you arrive. That said, the real reason I've been coming here since 2021 is Danny McCarthy. He is incredibly talented and consistently gives me the most natural, sun-kissed highlights that grow out beautifully. His work is never overdone--just soft, fresh, and perfectly tailored to enhance my natural look. Danny has a true eye for color and really understands what suits you best. He's also kind, professional, and consistent, which makes every appointment such a positive experience. I always leave feeling like the best version of myself. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Juli has been my go to girl for years, and following her to this beautiful new location has been such a fantastic experience. The salon itself is lovely, and the entire team is incredibly welcoming. Juli consistency and professionalism are truly unmatched. She is so friendly and always takes the time to listen, ensuring I leave looking refreshed and feeling great. She is truly amazing at what she does I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair!" read more

I had an amazing experience with the stylist Juli today, she definitely knows what she is doing. She was so nice and friendly and did exactly what I asked for. I got a partial balayage with a trim and it looks amazing I couldn't be more happy. D & O is has high quality products, service, and the all around vibe of the salon is so great. Highly recommend!!! read more

I can't recommend Julianna enough! She is the only stylist I have been to repeatedly and can trust she will do an amazing job while keeping my hair healthy. She is incredibly sweet and talented and I'm so lucky to have her work on my hair. I will gladly drive in from Oakland for her work. read more

i tried to cancel a Tuesday appt due to illness but as they are closed Monday was unable to cancel - on Tuesday I was in urgent care and unable to communicate & when they called i informed them I was sick. i should not have to pay for being ill. i have been a very good customer for many years always tipping well. i expected better treatment. very very unhappy. read more

I have been going to D&O since they opened. They are committed to personal service during every visit. No attitudes or difficulty. Oxana, Bruno and especially my colorist Sharolyn, she is meticulous with her color services and amazing blow drys for us picky people. 5 star review!! read more

I just wanted layers and my hair is wavy which I told my person, but unfortunately I think she was in a rush and the layer length is so far apart in the front/it looks almost like bangs and she cut in the middle of my wave pattern which totally set me back months of progress with curl training. She was really nice but just kind of a big let down that I'll have to get fixed somewhere else now. I rarely write reviews but if you have curly/wavy hair make sure the person knows how to cut it. read more

I had a wonderful experience today with Julianna. She really listened to what I wanted in my haircut and took the time to make sure that not only was it just have wanted, but explained what she was doing along the way. I have a lot of hair of varying waves/curls and not every stylist gets it right. Julianna was exceptional and I would highly recommend! read more

I reached out to Juliana (Juli) to get a full balayage and she definitely understood what I wanted. This is my first time EVER getting my hair bleach + toned. I was nervous because I've never done nothing to my hair and I knew that Juliana was the right person to go to. I let her have full creativity as I knew she is very professional. I've seen her work for so many years I fully trusted her. We definitely connected right away and the conversations did not feel forced. It was a very chill vibe that I definitely enjoyed from a salon, she made me feel welcomed, was very opened and honest about the process. I love how she told me the steps that she was going to do as it was my first time and she knew i was nervous. I do highly recommend getting your hair done with her as is amazing quality; her way to communicate with clients is truly amazing. I will definitely go back to rebook with her. I am very happy of the work that she did on me. My confidence has gotten better even though she said I already had a good confidence that made me feel so good about myself. I truly truly love her work! thank you so much, Juliana. read more

After some disastrous experience at another hair salon, my extreme disappointment was put at ease when Danny McCarthy of D&O Salon in Mill Valley, expertly brought back beauty to my hair. I truly admire his talent and authority in the field of hair coloring. I also especially admire his patience, tenacity and how much he cares. Danny absolutely exceeded my expectations! He is an undeniably dedicated hair colorist, an excellent professional who is able to communicate effectively and understand his clients' preferences. I believe that all the admirable qualities I have mentioned about Danny are especially essential in the hairdressing industry. Danny McCarthy is EXCEPTIONAL! read more

Terrible experience. This review is for color with Devon. When my hair was wet, and pushed back from my face, it looked uniform, and good. I erroneously assumed my hair would be blended throughout. During the blow dry, she came over and chatted with the person who did my blow dry. Then she left before it was dry. She never checked back. I didn't realize how bad my color came out until after I'd left the salon, after I left tips. It was when looked in my car mirror. No blend between the darkened roots and rest of hair. Furthermore the color is literally spotty in some places. That evening, my SO said it looked like Devon was careless, and that it looks like when I was doing the roots myself during COVID (untrained and with heavy root lines). I'm utterly embarrassed by my hair. Even after washing, it still has this mix of spots and lines. read more

Hands down the best haircuts I've ever had in my life. Owner and stylist, Oksana, it's beyond talented, skillful, and most importantly consistent. I'm not sure if she takes new clients (I've been with her since before D & O) but the quality of professionals she employees at D & O are at the top of their game. I highly recommend this salon!!! Thank you Oksana! read more

Had a great cut shampoo And blow dry with Bruno. I am tempted to come here for a haircut even though I live in the South Bay. read more

I've been going to Alexa Bynum at D&O for six-plus years now and she's hands-down the BEST stylist i have ever had! She does my cuts, partial highlights, balayage, etc and just "gets it" - these days I just let her do whatever she wants and it always comes out stunning. Even her styling skills are top-notch; and she's as friendly as they come. I've also been to Danny for makeup and hair before a couple of events, and he's outstanding. Plus anyone who's ever filled in while Alexa was gone (eg on maternity leave), the assistants, the owner, the team at the front desk - all have mad skills and are friendly and welcoming. Oh- and the post-shampoo massages are heaven. Highly recommend! read more

Simply put, Lily and Danny at D&O Salon are rock stars. Lily (my trusted hair stylist of nearly 6 years) styled my hair and Danny did my makeup for my wedding on November 1, 2019. They both also did the hair and makeup of my 6 bridesmaids, onsite - no small feat! These two are as talented as it gets, and I am forever grateful that they spent my wedding day with me making us look and feel glamorous and camera-ready. I'd recommend booking appointments with Lily for a haircut and Danny for makeup application (or hair!) at the next opportunity. Trust me - you'll fall in love and never look back. They really are the very best. read more

I would leave zero stars if i could. I made the mistake of scheduling my appointment the day before leaving for vacation. Now I have to go on vacation with patchy bright orange hair :( I came in for a consultation for a cut and color last week, and Erin told me the price of my full service. I confirmed with the front desk to schedule me for a color AND haircut. One week later I arrive for my service and I am informed they don't have time to cut my hair. The woman at the front desk tells me that there must have been some miscommunication instead of apologizing for the mistake. My hair colorist then assured me that she heard me book for a haircut as well. My flight leaves the following morning so I cannot book for another time. This was my first issue. Erin then asks me what exactly i want done again. I told her my (brown) roots (shown in the first photo) are grown out and I want them dyed to match the length of my (auburn) hair. I made it very clear that I don't want the top of my hair lightened at all because I am concerned about the integrity of my hair. She doesn't understand how to dye it this color, even after the consultation so I showed her a swatch of what i thought matched my hair. I am frustrated at this point because my request was simple: Pick a color that matches my current auburn color as close as possible. She ends up using 20 volume developer with a bright orange and uneven application to my roots and processes it until my roots are all lightened to a neon yellow and orange. I was in complete shock and told her I don't like it so she toned it darker and assures me it won't cost more. As you can see in the after photos (same bathroom lighting), the toner barely worked. My roots are still bright orange, yellow, blonde, and patchy. The bottom layer of my hair was previously dyed blonde, and she said she would tone that layer of my hair to a peach tone. I'm not sure what she did though because it looks the same, just more yellow I went to the front desk to pay and my total was $55 more than the initial amount I was told, and this is without receiving the haircut! There was an extra $40 for a conditioning treatment, that's fine. This leaves my total $15 higher than what I was told. This price would have been no problem at all had I been given an accurate price per service last week at the consultation. Firstly, I am denied a service that I booked; Second, I end up with a completely different color (or colors) than I had asked for, and I'm being charged not only for the full service that i did not receive, but extra?!? I could've used a $15 box dye and gotten more consistent and accurate color. I am at a loss for words about how unprofessionally this SHITuation was handled. I am a full time student in college and I work full time. It was saddening to spend even more of my hard-earned money than i initially agreed to for a hairstyle i feel ugly in . At the very least please learn to give your paying customers accurate price estimates. read more

I stumbled upon this salon when we first moved to Mill Valley and I love it, especially Danny, who does an awesome job with my color! Plus he's just a great guy to talk with, so I definitely recommend him and the rest of the staff here! read more

Anastasia does an amazing blow out! I have very thick curly long hair and often struggle to find someone that can do a smooth blow out that is both stylish and has some movement. She is one of the few that does a solid job with having to use too much product- and it even lasts a few days. I continue to recommend her to my friends and colleagues in Marin. I love the vibe in the salon. read more

Had a great transformation with Ally. Cut off around 8 inches and I'm thrilled with my hair. Thank you.

Had my hair cut by Aley and she did SUCH a beautiful job! This is by far the best haircut I've had in a long time she is very skilled at what she does!! The salon was clean, stylish, great music, and overall had good vibes. Would definitely return here again. read more

Lily has been cutting my hair for YEARS and I love her. Just had a cut today and it looks amazing. Every time she cuts my hair it is always perfect. read more

Erin for color and Bruno for cut! Love them both and get so many compliments on my color and cut.

Exceptionally skilled hair colorist, Dianna and stylist Oksana have launched their own business with the opening of Atelier. Modern space, light filled and spacious salon located in Strawberry Shopping Center. I have had the luxury of benefiting from both of these artist for many years. They continue to keep my hair color and style youthful, shiny and easy to maintain. They are true gems as professionals and people, warm and attentive. read more

This review is for Danny. He is a saint. Just, LOVE HIM. I meet with Danny, and before even doing anything, he sits next to me and introduces himself. Eye to eye, he tells me about who he is, his training, what he heard I wanted to do today and what he had been thinking about doing for me. He asked me questions about my routines, my usual hair products, how I typically wear my hair, how I want to wear my hair. I know these seem like obvious questions, but seriously, the details... are.... EVERYTHING. Most sylists have not asked me these simple questions, and I leave unhappy. Danny wanted to know who I was, what I wanted, and then explain how he thought he would be a good match for me. So, so appreciated. He got started. I was actually in and out. And I'm telling you, I have been to places where I was literally there ALL FUCKING DAY. Several clients stacked one on top of the other in an effort to maximize profit. Not Danny. Perfectly even spaced for I had his every bit of attention when I needed it. I went from color, to the dryer, to the sink.... oh, let me tell you about the sink. Here is where the details really take shape. While washing/shampooing/deep conditioning/etc, he set a hot towel under my neck. I have been to dozens of stylists over the years, dozens upon dozens, and never has someone taken the time to include this little detail that I so appreciated. Before leaving the sink, all of a sudden I am mid-massage! Whaaaaaaa??? Fabulous, fabulous neck, scalp, head massage. I would pay him just to do that-- it seriously felt that good-- but I digress. He whipped me into shape back at his station and I was good to go. I am returning to go just a little more dramatic with my color. We were a little tentative, but it was our first meeting and I didn't want to go too far and he didn't push me. But one thing is for sure, I would trust my precious locks in this man's hands and if I'm going anywhere from now on, it's too far. I place my ultimate trust in his hands with hair, makeup and advice for both. I was seen on time, got out in a jiff, and will absolutely be back over and over. It is really, REALLY difficult to gain my trust with hair. I have had so many really awful experiences, and my heart is warmed and comforted to have met someone like Danny who knows exactly what to do and keeps me laughing while he's doing it. Go to him. White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, a combination of whatever (like me), go. He knows how to treat your hair to make it look its best. You'll thank me. You're welcome in advance read more

D&O Salon - Getting a ton of compliments on this cut! Love it! - Hair Salons Near Me - Mill Valley, California

This review is for Devon. She did a fabulous job on my color. I have been to high end places where the balayage would bleed and make my hair patchy. Instead, the color looks very natural, and as my hair grows, it will blend well. I am extremely particular, and have struggled finding an exceptional colorist. So happy I found her! She is super fun, professional, talented, and listened intently to what I asked. Devon was very diligent and really cared about doing an amazing job. She exceeded my expectations! Atelier has a great atmosphere. Everyone who works there is friendly and stylish. I always enjoy getting my hair done there. read more

I've been going to Aley for my haircuts and I love, Love, Love what she does! I have naturally curly/frizzy hair and she cuts it in a way that I can let it air-dry and my hair looks wavy and stylish. Or I can dry it straight and have a totally different look. She's very talented and focused. I go to Devon for color and highlights. I love my new lighter hair color. I can go longer now between appointments with highlights and my gray is not so obvious. Thank you Aley and Devon read more

I give 4 stars for my haircut that Ali (a junior apprentice I assume as I was her hair model) gave me. For the first time I got that "cool-girl" LOB that I was dying for and I was obsessed. I called the next day to book my future haircut with her for 6 weeks out because I was that in love with my hair. However I am giving 0 stars for the way that future appt was handled. When I called, I was told that Ali wasn't on the floor yet but that my name and number would be passed to her and I would hear from her soon. It has now been 2 months and not a word. I understand that she didn't have a chair yet and called every few weeks for an update but every time was told the same thing. It wasn't until the 4th and final time before I gave up. I don't know if Ali even got my messages; they never offered to see if she was working on the days that I called or given me some kind of contact info for her but I tried to schedule with her so many tines and really loved my haircut but now I will go somewhere else. It's poor form not to communicate to your customers what is going on or suggest another solution; why lose business at all. I know that I didn't pay you for my hair cut because I was a hair model but I tipped on the full charge and am doing the salon a service as well as hair models are necessary to the trade and profession. I am disappointed that I wasn't able to maintain my perfect LOB. read more

I went there six months and had Diana do my highlights. I informed my biggest concern was that I wanted to keep my hair from being damaged and had waited at that point four months to do any regrowth. She told me that she was going to advise me to do high lift tint versus bleach and then did my hair. Diana applied the high life tint over my existing highlighted blonde hair and not just the virgin hair. I told her that I didn't want any brass or golden but she said the color would be a cool beige. Diana didn't even rinse my hair or blow dryit and never came back to review how the color looked. The assistant blew out my hair. The color was a brassy blonde not beige and they tried to tone it but it wasn't a cool tone. My longer hair which was overlapped with the high lift tint was extremely dry and damaged . I found out later you are never suppose to overlap existing highlighted hair with high lift tint . The end result is that the already highlighted hair didn't retain the color so eventually I had three colors on my now very danaged and breaking hair. I have waited six months not touched it. It's not worth going back there and I felt she did this on purpose. She was cold and very aggressive with me when I was in her chair. I didn't want to give this review ; however if I can prevent another customer ruining this hair from this woman and expensive salon I will . The damage is done so please don't let trust them there with chemicals on your hair . It's going to take me two years to grow out and money can't replace this and I'm still devestastaed Update 3: Response to Oskana. There is nothing that can be done to repair my hair at your salon except wait for my damaged hair to grow out and trim . The sad aspect is that if Diana has only colored the regrowth with the highlift tint the damage would of never happened on the longer highlighted hair. She was busy that day and also doing balayage on the other employee Devon who mocked me here on Yelp. You can find me in your system on Erika who made the appointment for me in June. I would never go to the extent of complaining unless it was serious . Diana should of cared enough to blow dry my hair and check it before I left the salon. She didn't care. read more

Lily is an excellent stylist, who cuts and styles with precision, while making you laugh the entire time. Sitting in her chair is actually fun, and I trust her skills and opinion w.r.t. my hair, implicitly. So happy I found her! read more

I have thin, fine hair with no texture and no body. Hairstylists often recommend a bob of sorts, which makes my hair look okay but doesn't suit me overall. I had to leave my last stylist who went into revolt when I told her I'd like a cut that would help me grow it out, telling me it's just not possible with my hair and still retain any sort of body. I was so lucky to find Lily at D&O. She worked magic giving me a cut that is so flattering, much easier to take care of then any previous cuts, and is giving me a the few inches growth I wanted while still looking fabulous. I'm sure she does great work with hair that is more compromising, but if you've struggled to find someone who gets your hair, ask for Lily. The store experience is also very positive with helpful, friendly staff. read more

Lily cut my hair for the first time about two months ago. She did an amazing job, doing exactly what I asked for--giving me less weight at the bottom and more movement at the back. The techniques she used made a huge difference in bringing out some natural wave in the back. It still looks really good almost eight weeks later. Lily did it really effortlessly and on the first time working with my hair. I'm happily surprised. She's very talented. read more

Atelier Salon is everything you want a salon to be: modern, trendy, and professional. Dianna is truly incredible. She did a color correction on me and I can't explain how amazing I felt walking out of the salon. She is hands down a hair guru!! She listens to your goals and provides realistic expectations, along with home care regimens and tips to extending your color and cut. She is known for her color skills! The other hair stylist were all super friendly, they would all stop by and introduce themselves in between their own clients, offer me something to drink and compliment me on my hair when it was done. The fact that everyone pays attention to each other and is super friendly shows a lot about the quality of work and service they like to give to their clients. Highly recommend this salon! read more

I always have such a wonderful experience at D&O Salon. I walk in feeling sad/drab and walk out feeling like a babe bombshell posing for my invisible paparazzi! My hair always looks and feels amazing! Everyone there is so nice and accommodating of my lion's mane (seriously no joke- long, frizzy, curly, thick hair! ). Especially Danny who is a magician when it comes taming my mane and applying the perfect color-combo of balayage color and tints. Danny is so quick and always has a smile and a contagious laugh! I've also had amazing cuts, color, styles with Alexa, Bruno, Devon, Anastasia, Summer, Angie, Heather, and others that I'm not remembering right now.
