** Please read Eric R.'s review from March 2026 in addition to this review (we don't know Eric, but…read moretheir experience seems relevant, regarding shady business practice). First of all, my husband says that Lily is nice. The problem is the haircut and the business. My husband ended up basically paying *not* to get his hair cut because Lily did not listen to his requests just to cut his hair - nothing fancy! So he had to stop her from doing everything that he didn't want her to do. Then, she pestered him to take photos of him to promote her business. No. Just No. More problematically, when we went to book the appointment online, the website required that we agree to save our credit card not just for payment but *for future transactions*. We did not want to leave our information with this business. So I called to ask if we could make the appointment over the phone without leaving it. Lily told me the credit card information was just for the one-time charge, not as described online. She lied to me. When my husband requested that she remove our credit card information after paying for the appointment, Lily said she couldn't do that, and we'd have to go through Square. I am on the line with Square right now, who have advised me that they usually ask people to resolve issues directly with the vendor, who can simply remove client information from their Square dashboard (which Lily claimed she couldn't do). So Lily lied. Again. Just getting a bad haircut is all part of trying out a new barber. But this? No thank you.

I treated my 85-year-old dad to "the works," and it turned out to be so much more than just a haircut. Hollz has created a true gem--an old-school barbershop experience with modern kindness and charm. My dad was very resistant at first (his idea of a treat is Supercuts), but this was full-on pampering: haircut, shave, hot towels--the works. ‍ And Hollz? She's the best part. * Warm, fun, incredibly personable--and meticulous with every detail--she made him feel like a million bucks. * She really knows her craft. She has all the right tools and knew exactly how to work with older skin, even skipping the straight razor to avoid irritation. * Her communication was great--we had to reschedule once and were late the day of, and she handled it all with grace. * You can tell she genuinely cares. She took her time, put him at ease, and even brought me into the process by explaining what she was doing. It felt like a celebration, not an errand. You only live once--and even a Supercuts guy deserves the royal treatment sometimes.

I was in need of a spa day treat to reenergize for an upcoming grueling work schedule. I normally go for a skin fade, overlap on one side, layered on the other. Kim outmatches her men's haircutting techniques over all the local barbershops in downtown san rafael. I also normally opt for an eyebrow trim, sometimes a shave, and extra time in the sauna to relax. This time I opted for something different. Mani pedi with clear coat with oil massage on hands and feet. A swimsuit waxing with eyebrows as well, oil treatment and shoulder massage that put me to sleep. I was hesitant to try it, but was impressed with the outcome. The waxing will keep my hair follicles healthy and the oil will provide much needed nutrition for my skin. The only takeaway to adjust for the next time so I can have my complete spa regiment is to break up my visit into multiple days. The oils should not be exposed to extreme water temperatures for 2 days which is why I couldn't use the sauna. All in all, this establishment is a gem in the community of downtown San Rafael. I highly encourage the local patronage to continue supporting Kim and her talented staff. I live out of state and still make sure to stop by everything I am in town. Thank you again Kim!

They're open late, which is a huge plus, especially for working professionals. I work in healthcare administration, and my days can be long.

I must preface this review by saying that I'm fairly follicly-challenged in the hair department…read more There's not terribly much left on my middle-aged scalp to work with. That being said, I still need the occasional trim from time to time. In any case, I was driving through downtown San Rafael the other day and decided to bust out with my handy Yelp mobile app. I typed in "hair cut" and my location, and I discovered Quality Haircuts. I parked at the nearby Safeway lot and took my chances on a walk-in visit. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long. This place is certainly a no-frills barber shop (I think there's only one or two chairs). So don't come in expecting a fancy-schmancy hair salon with all the bells & whistles. It's a one-woman show - her name is Susan. Very sweet, Asian woman. At first, there was a bit of a language barrier. I asked her to shave off all my hair and I think she thought I actually wanted her to use a blade and shaving cream (which she refused to do). But once we were all on the same page, she turned her electric razor on and started trimming away. 10 minutes later I was back to my shiny, bald self. Was it the best hair-cut I've ever received? No, not really. But for $20 + $5 tip, it did the trick. * Small warning - this barber shop is located next to a soup kitchen, so you might come across some unsavory, aggressive characters. While I didn't feel like I was in harm's way, I still played it safe and glanced over my shoulder while walking down the sidewalk.
