This place is soooooo great. A neighborhood place with a DEEPLY knowledgeable, experienced staff. Lauren and Amanda went out their way to accommodate me. They also greet customers with a hot cup of special herbal tea for healthy hair, custom blended by the owner ...that is incredibly delicious! It just feels different here. GENUINELY welcoming and unusually friendly. read more

I have never been a yelper, but feel this needs to be seen and heard: I went to Hair Fax for a bleach and tone, something I have done several times, so I basically know how the process works. They said they could do it, so I proceeded on. I was asked if I needed a hair cut too, no just the color I said. Well, 4 hours later, I was outraged!! During my procedure a woman came in asking for a hair cut. Kaz (owner)said yes come back at... Well, I then heard Myra whom was coloring my hair saying she wished a haircut wasn't put in while she was trying to do my color, as "You never know how this color can turn out" So, I was doubtful as the woman came back and waited "Thirty Minutes!" She was angry. So, all attention was in her her as I sat in a chair feeling scorched! That's what happened; left with no regulation as to how long I should sit there. I also know you are supposed to be under the dryer for a bit. I said I usually do go under the dryer. "No, you don't need to". Hummmm? So, I left with a burnt scalp, loss of hair and the color orange. I told her I didn't like it and I'm in a lot of pain. She tried to cover it up saying it looked good. NO it DOES NOT! I'm a paying customer not a dumb shit! Anyway, I proceed to ask for my money back. She refused with no apology; so all I could do was dispute it. I attempted at least 8 times to please refund me. Nope, so as soon as the department of dispute saw my photo's, I supposedly got a refund; still waiting. I do NOT recommend Hair Fax what-so-ever and shame you Kaz! I have a scab on my head. Doctor had to see it(her mouth dropped!). So, what was supposed to cost $190.00 and did, ended up costing me over 5 hundred dollars for repair and doctors appointments!! I don't recommend this place and yet I still have no letter of apology. I'm a business owner. Don't treat your customers like a herd of cattle so you get the money! read more

I just love this place! Kaz gave me a fantastic cut and it felt super safe with her beautiful outdoor area! I highly recommend this salon!

Hairfax is fast on its way to becoming a Fairfax staple. Beautiful salon with many amenities available. Great stylists and staff! The owner, Kaz, is quite an interesting person - she hails from Australia originally! The salon handles cuts, color, men, women, children. ORGANIC PRODUCTS USED!!! Too cool.... read more

Hairfax Studio - Towel mastery! - Hair Salons Near Me - Fairfax, California

Kathryn was fantastic. I came in with a covid mop of diy-gone-wrong and left with a crown of hand-spun silky sultriness. I feel beautiful again in a way that makes my heart sing notes I didn't even know I could hit. Recommend. read more

Ciera has been doing my hair for as long as I can remember, and I have followed her to this beautiful studio where she has landed. Ciera is personable, talented, and pays very close attention to detail. The space is not only absolutely adorable, it is immaculate and the staff is really friendly (which is very important to me). I love Ciera, and I love Hairfax! read more

Peach Wright has been my esthetician for a long time, giving me Brazilian waxes and most recently a lash lift. Peach is a true professional! I had never had a lash lift before and Peach was great at walking me through the process and explaining everything before and during the treatment. She was gentle and I absolutely loved the results! The same can be said for her waxing. Peach is extremely thorough, and I am always very satisfied with the end results. She also has great tips on how to care for my skin to prevent ingrown hairs and keep my waxes lasting longer. I've gone to Peach many times and highly recommend her for all your esthetician needs! She's amazing!! read more

Lauren at Hairfax was amazing! She fixed my daughters botched haircut! This is the best place in Marin for hair. We will be back again and again! read more

See all

I had never been here before, but Kaz, Hunter and Isaac essentially saved my hair's life today. It was damaged so far beyond repair it was insane. Kaz and Isaac were honest but tactful about the length I wanted to keep versus the length I NEEDED to lose. Hunter kept me at ease the whole appointment and did a great job as well. They all did a great job. Pretty sure this was the only haircut I could've gotten where I lost this much length and still loved it. They spent over 3 hours putting me to rights with multiple color treatments and I couldn't be more impressed with both their expertise and what they managed to create from what I came in the door with. Truly some amazing ladies. read more

Hairfax Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Fairfax, California

I am new to San Anselmo and made some phone calls to all the (yelped) high rated salons in the area. I had to screen out a chemical that I am highly allergic to. I heard back from a few salons and even made an appt at one (deciding to bring my own product as they confirmed the chemical in question to be in their product). Then, Frank called me back from Hairfax and took the time to research and call me back to confirm their products were all clear of this chemical I had to avoid. He went above and beyond with this - and I was so impressed that I cancelled the appt. at the other salon. My appt. was with Terra Ward. I walked into the salon and was warmly greeted by her and Frank. The salon was spotless, tastefully decorated and did not have the nasty odor (mostly from nail products) that most salons have. They were also playing very cool background music. Cheesy magazines were no where to be found. Terra took her time consulting with me and really cared about what I was trying to describe as desirable and otherwise. Then, she magically covered by bad hair color (a job I did myself LOL) and gave me a super sexy cut that turned heads as I walked down Bolinas after to meet the hubby for dinner. If you are looking for a friendly, peaceful environment to have a professional hair cut that uses top quality local product - I highly recommend Hairfax. read more

What a great place! Just had a very nice haircut. The staff was friendly and worked quite quick, which is essential most of the time for me. Clean place. Good music. Fare prices. Everybody smiles! I highly recommend. read more

I stated so clearly what i wanted, but apparently I was not heard. I asked for my hair to just be trimmed, and it was cut into alot, and in places i had asked to be left alone. It really looks bad, and will take me 4-6 weeks to get back to my comfort zone. read more

Kathryn at Hairfax is awesome. She touches up my roots, cuts, and styles my hair. I have never been so happy with how I look. The atmosphere at Hairfax is relaxing and friendly. If you're looking for a change check in with Kathryn or Kaz. read more

I stopped in on impulse for a haircut this past Friday. I had the afternoon off and was walking by and decided to pop in. The day before, I had been in SF and got a free hair consultation in one of those upscale salons near Union Square. The owner himself declared my hair a wreck because it had been over-processed by a bad perm and too much coloring. He said I needed at least 4 inches lopped off because how badly damaged the ends were! So, I walked into Hairfax and Isaac was available to cut my hair. I received a warm welcome from all the women in the salon. Isaac was very soothing and said cutting just 2 inches and some light trimming on my layers would give my hair a big boost. She gave me ideas about styling my hair and spritzed some wonderful smelling Rene Furterer shea oil to finish my hairstyle. I felt so much better and my hair looked really good. Highly recommend! read more

Got the worst cut of my life last week, on my birthday, no less. Kaz started with a bunch of overblown bravado about the type of cut I wanted after looking at a photo (this is rock star hair!!!), ignored my concern about the top layers being too short, didn't ask me one question, and proceeded to hack the hell outa my hair. Just bad all the way around--looks like a really bad 70s shag. It's not just unflattering, it's truly awful in terms of technique. The way it was cut just brought out all the course/frizz. At the end she made a disparaging comment about layered cuts.. WOW. I'd post a photo, but I'm too embarrassed to be seen at this point. Follow up: The salon did refund my money. So there's that. I will also say that Hunter gives a great head massage while shampooing, and seems like a delightful person. read more

I just got a great haircut - outdoors, safely masked up, sanitary - and I couldn't be happier. Shannon did a super job and it's soooooo great to look like myself again after six months of shelter in place. read more

I thank Hairfax owner Kaz and stylist Kathryn for a very positive experience today at Hairfax Studio in Fairfax, CA. Kathryn did a great job. I got exactly the haircut I wanted. Beyond that I experienced their attention to detail and professionalism. The outdoor venue was well thought out. Everything was done right. Things tend to be so stressful these days. This was the exception. I felt very safe and well taken care of. read more

I just had my eyebrows tinted by peach today and it was an excellent experience. She is kind and attentive. I recommend her services.

This review is for waxing services with Peach. After moving from SF and having my previous wax studio close, I was seeking a new aesthetician. Hairfax offers sugar wax and regular/strip wax and I chose a Brazilian sugar wax. Peach walks through each step before and during your treatment so you know what to expect and is very knowledgeable on her waxing technique. I've had some many Brazilians from CA to Miami and thought i had had sugaring done but realized a few minutes in that i hadn't. Sugar wax is an age-old technique that is friendly on the environment AND your skin. A few days later, this was best wax I've probably ever had with no ingrown or signs of any looming! Couldn't be happier and will return for additional services with Peach! read more

I asked for a cut below my shoulders. The stylist cut my hair above my shoulders and didn't even double check before she cut it. After she cut it too short she asked "Is this okay?". What was I supposed to say "No, please put it back". I am very upset about this. read more

I went in to get my roots done for prom and Isaac did sUCH a good job!!! My hair was so soft even after the bleach and was not too yellow, they even texted me about a tone to make sure the shade was exactly what i wanted! They are so sweet here, so kind, personal, and really listen to exactly what you need and want. Highly highly recommend this place like even just to talk to them because they are so fun read more

I've been a client of Karen Begley (Hairfax Owner) for over 15 years, and have never gotten a bad cut. Before opening her own salon she was one of the top stylists at Brewer Phillips in San Rafael. Hairfax can handle men, women, and kids, and walk-ins are welcome but an appointment is recommended. The location is great, and parking is always available in that part of Fairfax. read more

I have been going here now for almost 2 years and I must say they are absolutely amazing. My personal favourite Terra Ward she is an artist that transfers your hair into a healthy beautiful colour and cut, it makes it even better that she is truly an amazing young lady. Terra thank you for making magic read more

Great service. Kaz is a talented stylist and she gave me exactly the haircut I asked for. Good location also.

I have the hardest hair to cut.....curly in some areas and wavy in others. Im sooooooo picky. Both Kaz and Isaac have cut my hair and their attentiveness and sensitively to my "haircut anxiety" is so appreciated. I can now get my haircut without stress. I also must mention how much I love the entire crew. I feel I'm in a shi-shi, fancy salon right downtown Fairfax. Wish I could give more than five stars. read more

Thank you Kaz for my wonderful haircut. I love it so much! I appreciate your talent, expertise, patience and hard work to get it just right! Your attention to detail and precision is remarkable. Thank you for helping me feel sassy, beautiful, feisty and polished...and of course...edgy! I also appreciate the atmosphere that you created at your studio and the energy that is so obviously well-intentioned so that we may enjoy a positive experience there. Frank is wonderful and he brings a delightful male energy that balances it all out. You picked well. :) Wendy read more

I've worked with Ciera when she was at her previous salon and followed her here. She's fantastic! I get highlights(having tried Balyage and decided it didn't care for it) and cut/style with Ciera. I always love the color and cut. My hair, which is blond and roughly shoulder length, always looks so bright and shiny on the crown with the Ciera treatment. I really like that her cut makes my hair look great just washed and no product or blow dry and also professional with the whole home process I apply when going to work which includes root lifter, possibly some texturizer, blow dry, curling iron, and hair spray. Ciera is just a pleasure to talk to and I trust her skills, she's got a great vision. Go see her, you will not be disappointed! read more

I had my first haircut with Kaz today and I could not be happier. I have very thick hair that can be very difficult cut and manage. After she cut my hair, I felt like a new person. I was very warmly greeted and and her assistant Hunter is lovely. I am so happy to have found this gem of a salon! read more

First time calling this salon today - Frank answered my Hair 911 emergency call! Tara fit me in, last minute. She was patient, she was able to somehow grasp my color issues and she NAILED IT! She really took the time necessary to not only figure out what I was looking for, but figured out how to make it work --- some days are lucky. Thanks Hairfax! read more
