Holy hotness, Holly makes magic out of my massive head of hair. 1) I have a big head. 2) I have frizzy hair. 3) I have a lot of frizzy hair. You'd never know this if you met me now. I have an amazing sleek cut that not only looks good the first day she cut it, but also 6 weeks later when the ends finally cried out for a trim. My dark hair is blondified, highlighted, and looks so natural that the DMV told me that I needed to get a new licence because no one would believe I'd died it blond. I've had her put in highlights, lowlights, give me crazy shaggy hair cuts, give me work-appropriate cuts, short, long, in-between -- she knows how to take your ideas and make it work for you. (I mean, we all have had a haircut that we thought would be brilliant and turned out to be awful, right?? For me it was the time I thought a pixie cut would look good on my massive head. Holly would have never, ever let me do that). I look forward to visiting the salon every 6 weeks. All the girls are sweet - I'd recommend any of them, honestly. I don't think I've ever seen anyone walk out looking less than fantastic. As for me, I always manage to enter looking like a whirlwind and exit looking (and feeling) like a princess. read more

ALICIA is the BEST! If you need someone who is knowledgeable and talented to do your hair RIGHT/ exactly how you want it, look no further than Alicia at Fox + Stone. I was nervous to find someone when I moved to Marin who I could trust with my hair, but Alicia blew my expectations out of the water. She keeps my hair the perfect shade of blonde that I want. She even gives me samples of hair products I can try at home to see what I like before buying them. One time, my hair took a while, and she was happy to stay past salon hours to make sure I was happy with my results. She is an expert with hair, especially blondes. read more

Very groovy place. Lots of tattoos. But don't let that intimidate you. They have a varied clientele from young to elderly with one thing in common - style for choosing A_Line. I was drawn in when I noticed a fantastic haircut on one of my young daughter's friends. Holly (the owner) is the best. I always walk out looking better and get compliments on my haircut. read more

I followed Shea to this salon, because she is an amazing stylist and colorist! I have fine hair and Shea has made to look thicker and fuller. She is incredibly talented. Thank you Shea! read more

I feel great after getting my hair cut by Alicia last week. I had a baby 4 months ago and haven't had anytime for myself so needless to say I needed a cut. It had been a long time since she had cut my hair and was full off ideas. It was great to have someone else take care of me. I feel great with my new bangs!!! read more

Alis is a genius and one of the greatest people I've ever known. He will work wonders with your hair. Highly recommend. Amy is a newer stylist on the floor - but she is incredible!! Watch this girl - she's going to blow your socks off. read more

Sasha is the best! Always great color and a fantastic haircut that suits my fine hair and features. She's been making my hair look fantastic for many years now. read more

Just want to comment on Trace T.'s comments - STOP IT! Seriously, Trace, you sound like an idiot who has no life. Who has time to write pages long reviews, day ... after day ... after day! Other yelpers: Just read A Line's one response - it really says it all - they tried, Trace refused to be helped. She obviously LOVES DRAMA - the rest of us don't - and we're quite sick of you putting down the best salon EVER. No one else is unhappy! Do you think there's a reason you're all alone in this? NO ONE BELIEVES YOU, TRACE! Hello! Get a life and move on ... PLEASE!!! LOL read more

The scenario: I have a 1:45 appointment on a Friday. I call 3 hours before to tell them I will be late due to a conflict with work. (They don't care but I work with kids on hospice and had a new Pt. I had never been to this Pt's house and didn't realize the amount of traffic there would be). The receptionist told me that was fine and that they would keep my hair curly instead of straight. That's fine. Fair. I'm 15 minutes late and I don't have the option of straight. I have no problem with this. I say "I will be there by 2:00." I arrive around 2:00 and can't find a place to park. I run to the salon and walk in at 2:05. I am met with 4 women staring at me. I give my name and the owner (who I now know my appointment was with) steps out from behind the group. Her: "I just left you a message." Me: "I don't have my phone with me." (again, they don't care but it was turned off in my glove box because I turned it off for work and was focused on getting through traffic to the appointment. I acknowledge that I was late and that's why I called them ahead of time (because when I arrived at the Pt's house I realized how much traffic there would be). Their response to me calling was "That's fine," When I arrived, it wasn't "fine" that I was late. So in front of the salon and the 4 staff at the front as an audience I felt like I was reprimanded like a child (or stepped onto the set of mean girls) and told: Her: "I thought you were going to be 10 minutes late." Me thinking (well if someone can add I said I'd be at least 15 minutes late and someone told me OK). I acknowledged that I was late, I apologized. What bothers me is that she then made it sound like she was doing me a favor for not providing the service. Her: "With the time you left me I can't guarantee I can give you a great haircut." Me thinking: "Isn't this your profession, great haircuts?" If they had asked me I would have left with my hair wet, no style. To be fair she told me I could reschedule, but I have a 2 year old and my mom was in town (which is why I was trying to get my haircut, as all busy parents understand). My problem was that it seemed the owner wanted to make an "example out of me," and she did it in front of everyone in the salon that was near her. She could have pulled me aside, or stepped out of the salon to explain she had too many appointments to fit mine in anymore and that she was sorry they told me it would be fine if I was late. This is unfortunate, I'd be there only 2 other times and had positive experiences with Alis and Kelli. I will not go here again. read more

the girls there are amazing! i drive over the golden gate bridge to get my hair did there! best shampoo and set around! read more

I've been going to Hillary for years. She's very understanding and helps me with my hair madness. I tend to do drastic things with my hair and she's always been there to save my look. read more

Alis truly rocks. Friendly, fun, but most of all talented. She makes this old man look better.

Lucky me, I have been looking for a new stylist and I happened to meet Hillary, saw she had rad hair and went to see her today. She gave me an excellent cut, some killer styling tips, and recommended a product to keep it going. The salon is cute and easy to get to (plentiful parking). Celeste, who checked me in and washed my hair, was also very friendly and welcoming. Love Hillary and the location -- will drive from Guerneville (over an hour) to get here! read more

I just got finished hailing my beloved Mandie on City Search, and I thought I would let the world know how INCREDIBLY AMAZING she is!! She just took me from brown to the most beautiful blonde hilite ever. ( did I mention I was a hairstylist for 14 years who travels to A line from SF?) She always stays current with her education, and shows me tricks that after like I mentioned 14 years of cutting and teaching hair myself, I didn't even know!! Truly the world is a more beautiful place thanks to her vision and expertise. I cannot express into words how talented she is! You will just have to experince her yourself!! I hope I can still get a appt. with her after this! read more

I had become disenchanted with my trips to the city for hair repair every 6-8, so I did some Yelp research. F&S to my rescue! I have not been this happy with my cut and color in years. I thought having the perfect color was something in my distant past only to be reminisced through photographs. So happy I could scream...or yelp. Thank you Sasha, you have a client for life. I almost almost passed out when my total was ONLY $130. Worth every penny, and a far cry from city prices. read more

I am incredibly happy and in love with my hair!! Brittany did a phenomenal job. She has so much talent and experience and is really friendly. Anyone who comes to this salon for color should go with her! I am going for a light blonde balayage and just yesterday I had my first session. I need one more to get to the color I want, but in the meantime my hair is a beautiful color and have received many compliments. I will come back and update with my final color. I had an amazing experience and anyone who comes here will too! read more

I've been getting my hair colored by Rachel since she was a student and I'm never disappointed! She does a wonderful job! I get my hair cut by Hilary and man oh man can she cut hair! Just wonderful! Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. When you get there they offer tea, water or sodas; theres a little private changing room and a wonderful smelling clean bathroom. The whole ambiance is chic and edgy. I modeled in their A Line fashion show benefiting Marin Abused Women's Services, which was very fun, amazingly well organized and a good cause! If only there were one hundred stars to rate these lovely ladies... read more

My only hesitation in writing this review is based on pure selfishness; I am afraid it will be harder to get in to see Rachel. But in all honesty, she ROCKS! She listens, she excels with mixing and matching color, she knows her science. Plus, she's fun to hang with. read more

I have been going to A Line since the 1990s and I will not ever change. I have also gotten my co workers hooked on this place as well. Mandie and Holly have been my stylists and friends over the years-I look forward to hanging out with them more than my haircut. I also had Mandie do my hair for my wedding as well as my three bridesmaids, which was so fun since she has seen me through several breakups and complaints that I would never get married. :) She did an amazing job on all of us, personalizing for four styles and four types of hair which held all night and looked amazing. The salon itself is such a fun space and the vibe inside is like walking into a room full of your friends. Holly and Mandie are both amazing at color and cuts. They also get what I have needed at various points in my life, from super trendy cuts and colors to more corporate looks for the office. I love A Line and love how happy others are when they come back from their first trip there. read more

I LOVE A line. I have been going to Sasha for years, but ever since she moved to A line a few years ago it's been that much better. All the girls that work there are awesome. Everyone is very sincere and helpful. They offer you water, tea, coffee, beer or wine while you wait...if Sasha is a little busy one of the other stylists will wash or blow-dry you out, and it still a great experience. The salon is clean and stylish and welcoming. They carry great products, my two favorites Kerastase and Bumble & Bumble. So if your new in town, tired of your current stylist, give them a try! Call and tell the receptionist what type of hair and look you are going for and she will know the best stylist to set you up with. Sasha always does "fabulous"! read more

If your thinking about trying the latest treatment in "Smoothing" course, frizzy,unruly hair.....look no more. See Rachel or Janet, both very highly skilled hair stylist's for the Keratin Hair Smoothing treatment. I waited until there was a safe product (chemical wise) before I attempted to try this system. It can be safely used on color treatment hair, too! I love the results, my course, frizzy, unruly hair is now smooth and silky and so easy to style. It makes me smile every time I touch my hair. I highly recommend this treatment and these two very special "Stylists!" read more

I've had bad hair salon experiences in the past, but needed a new professional cut from someone other than my mom! My experience at A Line really surprised me- but in a good way. After a casual drink (on the house), my tension about having my hair cut eased and I began to relax to the stylist Kelli as she massaged and washed my hair gently and thoroughly. The cut was great too! It gave volume to my thin areas and took volume from my too-thick areas. My hair is really uneven which can be a challenge (hence the bad hair salon experiences) but she did everything as a pro should. Plus the price was within my budget, I'll definitely be going back. Thanks Kelli! read more

Fox & Stone salon has a clean, beautiful atmosphere and parking is easy. Best of all, I walked out with the best haircut I've ever had. I'm so happy with my hair, I've never gotten so many compliments on it! See Sonja, she's an artist. read more

I can't say enough about Alis, she is amazing. I have curly, frizzy, unruly hair and yet she works magic with it. She does an amazing job with my color, (so much that people don't know I color it) and she always gives me a cute cut. She's also fun to talk to, real down to earth, I love her! The salon has great products too. Go see Alis! read more

I've been going to A Line Salon and seeing Alis for years and never been disappointed. She is the best! Always super professional and she's a whiz at cutting and coloring my hair. Highly highly recommend. Go see Alis and walk out of A Line feeling and looking fabulous! read more

I could not be more thrilled with the amazing color I got today at A Line. Kelli was wonderful! I came in needing a total hair makeover/change, but had no idea what to do. She took the time to talk it over with me, and came up with a totally fun, creative idea, even creating a custom lavender/red low light color for me. She was extremely professional, and yet the whole salon had a really relaxing, laid-back feel. We all know what a pain getting your hair done can be, but this was actually really fun! And the music mix playing in the salon was awesome! My hair turned out INCREDIBLE! I have never had highlights/low lights done so well before. It seriously is a beautiful job Kelli did. They don't just "do" hair there, they truly understand it and make it an art. Thank you so much Kelli and A Line! read more

I just had a cut and color by Alis and I am so happy with my hair! I took in a photo for reference and we had a little consultation to make sure that we both were on the same page for color and cut style. Alis listened, asked questions, checked in to make sure she understood and then delivered the most amazing final product! The color is like milk chocolate that has been coated with luscious shine. The cut is beautiful, fun, easy to manage and versatile! Alis can set you up with feathers too. She has a really cool collection of sizes and colors read more

Wendy is great. I am a curly girl and have moved around a lot. Finding a good hair dresser in a quality salon with good product lines can be an enduring search. Wendy gave me the best color I've ever had, and a great cut. But where she truly stood out was in how she taught me to STYLE my hair. I have had curly hair for decades and thought I knew all the tricks and the right products for my hair etc. I thought I knew how to make my hair look its best. But Wendy taught me more - and for the first time in my life, I can honestly say that I walked out of a salon with my hair looking better than I could've hoped for. She cut my hair in a way that makes it easy to style, and she showed me how to style it in a way that looks natural and GREAT. She really takes her craft seriously and you can tell she truly enjoys it. Everyone at the salon was professional, friendly and warm. I'm not a frequent Yelper, but I'm here to say that A-Line Salon and Wendy are fantastic! I'm not going anywhere else because I know that I'm in good hands here. read more

Brittany Fey knows her shit, bottom line. She actually listens to what you have to say and then creates a masterpiece out of your hair. Her demeanor is incredibly relaxing which is nice for someone such as myself who tends to become anxious when it comes to changes in my hair. Go and see her. You will not regret it. read more

I was lost, spending money on haircuts that only made me look like I went to a chop shop. Then I was introduced to Alis at A Line and she saved me. Alis is awesome and I love what she has done for me!! The entire salon is great and all the women are so friendly!! Definitely 5 stars!!! read more

Hilary is as good as it gets!! She is and has always been amazing with cut, color and hair advice (for going on 15 years now). She is kind, caring, professional and a heck of a stylist. The other staff and stylists at A Line are also wonderful and talented. I highly recommend this place to anybody who cares about their hair and how it makes them feel. read more

I moved to the north bay about 6 months ago and was delighted when I found out that my favorite stylist from the city had moved to Aline Salon. Melanie is amazing. From cuts to color, she is my go to for feeling great. The salon is in a great location. Clean and super friendly. read more

My wife convinced me to try A-Line a couple of years ago and I begrudgingly gave in. What a difference! After having had my hair cut by men nearly all my life, having all that "girl power" in one room was refreshing. These women get it. They have created a comfortable space where a guy can feel welcomed and get a terrific haircut. In addition to a consistent cut, my stylist Hillary always has something fun and interesting to share. My wife likes her work so much she has our 13 year old son get his hair cut by her too. And when you can tame a young boys shaggy mop no matter how long it's been between cuts you know you're working with talent! read more

Hillary is great! She always asks me what I want to do of course and I always say "you're the professional do what you think is best" and I am so glad I do. Always a great cut and color! read more

Best hair cut and color I have gotten in the last 10 years. Yes I finally found the best stylist out there. If you want to look like a million bucks go visit Alis, she is truly amazing!!! read more

I will not judge their ability to cut hair... I didn't get that far! I was excited by the previous reviews and scheduled an appointment at A Line. In the craziness of my 15 hours work days I must have misunderstood and thought that my appointment was at 12.30pm instead of 12.15pm... I showed up at 12.24pm (to be exact) and received the worst customer service that I've experienced in years. I was treated like an irresponsible client (for being 8 minutes late...) and was told that they couldn't cut my hair. I was also told that I had received a phone call to remind me of the time to which I answered in good faith that I hadn't. Right there they insinuated to my face that I was lying (yeah, very pleasant) and that the system showed that I did. Anyway, I left, fairly upset, but I wasn't expecting what I found on my voicemail once I got back home. They had left the rudest message. The lady was totally condescending, I was shocked. She also asked me to call back in order to give my credit card info so they could charge 50% of the cut... EXCUSE ME??? I have never been treated this way!! By the way, I also checked my missed calls, just to make sure that I was in the right, and nothing... not one call from them to remind me of the appointment. I scheduled an appointment at Renaissance in SR, got the best cut and customer service that I could expect... Refreshing after that incident at A Line. read more

10 months in and 6000K on hair extensions, hair repair, blow outs, and it's never ending. I still have another 3 years to go until my hair will ever be anywhere near where it was before this nightmare. The good news is that I do have a piece of the puzzle finally solved. After having the Bumble and Bumble people look at my hair in NY months back and having my friend there work to get to the bottom of what happened to my hair it was determined that the Concen-straigt product wasn't used on my hair, rather a type of Japanese straighter of some sort was used, which is why my hair never went back after the 100 washes (supposed to be 20 washes and it's out). My hair was permanently straight because they used a permanent straighter that ruined my hair. The BnB people said the salon was likely trying to "move" crappy product out (thus the Groupon) and that is why they were so defensive and creating a smoke screen about me being crazy because they got caught. Recently I was in SF getting a blow out and the girl asked about my hair; I told the whole saga as usual and she said that she was a BnB rep for years and no way they used BnB on my hair rather a Japanese straighter-Validation. She also said her friend had gone to work for A-line in the last few months and told her they did things like that with the product. Mystery solved. I went in for a "smoother" for my frizzy/curly hair and got a permanently straightening and damaging Japanese straightening process instead, which is why my hair started to fall out while I was still in the chair. I'm still assuming that Karma will do it's thing and that the money they kept for ruining my hair must have been because they needed it. Every person I tell this story to is the most offended by Holly keeping my money and trying to get me to sign a waiver that I wont' tell anyone. In the last 10 months I've told this story to everyone I know in Marin and SF at every moment I could get the word out. Since my life involves a lot of upset about my hair (every time I look at it) I will continue to tell everyone in earshot about my campaign to keep this from happening to people at this place. Facebook and Twitter have been a useful tool in my campaign as well. I never read what Holly writes back to these posts as it's all lies. I have the video of my hair to prove it, and each month I have a collection of all the burnt hair that falls out and looks like nuclear fallout. Back to the life lesson-when someone has a sale on hair products they suck-When someone keeps selling you on a service even though you call 6 times with bad reviews from the internet and someone calls you back on their day off over and over to continually sell you on something although your gut says something isn't right, Trust your gut, not the people with something to sell you. Also, a consultation on your hair means nothing. Don't think that going in and having a consult means that they know what they are doing. They just wanted to get my money. Trust your instincts no matter what kind of hard-sell someone gives you. Doubt means don't. Doubt means that your intuition is saying that someone cannot be trusted because they are going to use product on your hair that they want to get rid of and they are going to put their needs ahead of yours. Doubt means that you don't know these people and they do not care about you. My intuition was right, and my trusting nature will cost me 6000K per year for the next two years for a total of about 18K all because I got a Groupon..... Expensive lesson. read more

I was that girl that always went from salon to salon....never committing to a hairdresser for more than 2 visits. My friend recommended I go see Sasha at A Line, and since it's easier than going into SF, I thought I'd give it a shot. Well, I'm SO happy I did!!! I have seen Sasha several times now, and every visit, whether cut or color I leave completely happy. She really knows what she's doing, so I never have to worry about throwing down some cash, only to get home and realize you hate your hair :( I have fine blonde hair, and she gives me the best highlights/lowlights, and then gives my hair a long layered cut. It looks great after she blow dries it, but it looks just as good when I let it dry naturally at home. The friend who recommended Sasha has very thick wavy hair that has never looked better. She has amazing cutting skills!!! I can't wait to go back in the fall for more lowlights :) Just go there! You will be happy!!! read more

I asked for just a trim and ended up having half of my hair chopped off. They always say "we just want it to be healthy" but they always cut it shorter then i want. This time it was so short an I specifically said I wanted it to stay long! read more

this is where i go to get highlights and cut. i'm kind of weird and picky about my hair, since its been from platinum to black over the years. i have to resist the urge to do anything crazy. hillary does a great job and she is easy to spend a couple of hours with. small ish salon, lots of parking and very friendly. read more
