Boy, am I glad I did! Sandra truly is a "shear joy" and an excellent stylist as well as a very nice lady. There is no comparison between the personal, friendly service she provides and the "cattle call", impersonal corporate shops found in malls and shopping centers. I don't have a lot of hair to work with but she did a great job, and my hair has gown back very evenly and still looks good. Heck, I can even wear a hat and not have "hat hair" when I remove it! I'm glad I found her, I will be back soon!

Used to be 5 stars, finally found a barber in Marin that I liked, Leo was the best. Super chill…read moreguy, great music, good convos, took his time making sure my summer/winter cuts were exactly lined up. Then one day he's not just not on the site when I go to book. Even worse, when I go in, they won't even give me his contact info, which is super lame. I Tried two other barbers there because I was desperate for a cut, mediocre cuts and the whole vibe there is dead. If anyone knows where Leo went PLEASE comment, he is missed!

A Hidden Gem on Grant: Finally Found the Stylist Who Made Growing Out Grey Hair Easy!…read more At 55 I decided to stop dyeing, cut it all off military short, and embrace the grey. Six months later I was stuck with an uneven mullet and scared to let anyone touch it. I've had amazing cuts over the years and disasters so bad I hid under a hat for months. Then I stumbled into a little barber shop on Grant Avenue in Novato and met Malalai. With 40 years of experience, she listened, was patient, and shaped my hair step by step. I walked out with a style I love and confidence to keep growing it out. She's proof that experience, patience, and kindness beat fancy salons every time.

Malalai is the best - always fits me in to her schedule and such a nice job - Ringo also is awesome!read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Kendra for almost four years now…read more It took me years to find someone after my long time cosmotologist moved out of state. Kendra is prompt and does a great job. I love a great shampoo with a little extra massage of my scalp, and let me tell you, Kendra never skimps on her time. Her personality is still as upbeat and positive as the first day I met her. I appreciate her understanding that I have my service dog, and keep him confined in businesses out of courtesy to others; and that it does not bother her that I wear a mask. She's very supportive and kind with regard to both and I wish I could give her an extra star!! Lastly, she did cut my mom's hair a few years ago, my mom has dementia and cannot get out any longer, but my mom still remembers Kendra and her kindness.

I had been hearing great things about this place for a while and I finally booked him through their website and he came home So Happy! He said it was clean, normal and chill.

He came home so happy to have not had to hop on the freeway. Time is money. This is the spot!

I was looking for a haircut before vacation and my regular Mill Valley barbershop was out for vacation so I thought I'd give Shavery a try. Christian seemed like a nice enough barber and I felt good sitting down on the chair, but after I sat down things just went south. It didn't seem like he really had any plan here - he was just going in with the Clippers and gave me what I consider like a jar head haircut for a Marine. 15 minutes and $50 dollars later: Yeesch. I think I'll be heading back to Valley barbershop once Lily's back from vacation. And wearing a lot of baseball hats till then...
