I have been going to Ramona for all my hair needs for over 20 years now and plan to continue to do so for as long as she'll have me Ramona is an amazing colorist and I always get tons of compliments on my hair color. She totally understands what I want as far as color and is super attentive to my hair cutting needs as well. She gets me! She gets what I want and need and I love going to her for that I always leave the salon feeling re-energized and refreshed. If you are looking to have great hair, Ramona is your gal!!! read more

(This review is for Romina) SO UNPROFESSIONAL. I called and made an appointment. I show up the day of and she has no "memory" of our conversation claims we never spoke. I should have known since she sounded drunk on the scheduling call. So I show her the 3 back and forth calls we had that show several minutes of conversation. I am 7 months pregnant and left work early relying on having an appointment. Scheduled childcare just to get a haircut for once this year. Stay away. Totally unreliable. read more

I was able to get in to Decadence right away, just a few days after calling. It is a cute little salon on the corner but it feels tucked away. Ramona did a great job cutting my long hair, adding layers and bangs. I will be back for another haircut again. read more

Tracy has doing my toes for years! No matter what kooky ideas I come up she always rises to the challenge! I would follow her wherever she chooses to work and I have. Congratulations Tracy onyour own venture. Wishing you much success! read more

It seemed like a good haircut. I called and called and left messages for another appointment to no avail. I don't think they need the business. No receptionist, no people getting their hair done. All very strange. I have never had a bad experience. read more

I went to see Jennifer Damir at Salon Decadence on Saturday June 17th, 2017. Vagaro, their online booking software tool, had confirmed multiple times my appointment but, upon my arrival, Jennifer did not show the appointment on her phone. After many ums and ahs she asked me to come back 90 minutes later, which I did. It was very inconvenient but, hey, stuff can happen. No problem. The first thing I discussed with her were the highlights I was looking for: baby fine highlights. I must have repeated that two or three times and also showed her pictures, just to make sure she completely understood the type of highlights I wanted. Long story short, I came out with streaky and extremely chunky highlights. Not even 'good' chunky highlights but poorly executed streaks! (See photos). I am not sure if she was rushing or what the issue might have been, but the end result was something you 'may' expect from an apprentice (perhaps) and not from someone with amazing, 5 star Yelp reviews that charged $175 + tip!!! I could not notice how bad the highlights were while at the salon (their lighting in there is very poor) but, once I got home and saw myself in the mirror, I almost started crying. So I texted her and told her that I wanted her to fix the problem. She reached out to me two days later. Ok, it was the weekend but I was not impressed by that. So I went to another hairdresser the following week. It took him (I am not kidding) 2 1/2 hours to undo all the terrible highlights! He did a wonderful job and that's where I will bring my business back. 1 star only because Jennifer eventually got back to me, otherwise, if I were to base this review only on the quality of her work, it would be zero stars. read more

Jennifer Damir was absolutely amazing!!!! If I could give her a 10, I would!!! From the get-go, she had an awesome idea in her head of exactly what I wanted to do. I explained to her the look that I wanted, and she hit the nail on the head with how well she did. We had a consultation the first time we met, and though we figured something out for me, we both later agreed that highlights/lowlights/ and dark streaks would look much better, and boy was she right!! I absolutely LOVE how well she did my hair! I have had the same hair dresser for the last 20+ years of my life and now, she is way too far from me, as I moved from SF to Novato. I am so glad I found Jennifer after extensive and picky searching on Yelp! She is definitely going to be my usual hair dresser now whenever I need my hair done. Also, her prices are extremely reasonable and she is such a blast to talk to and such a pleasure to be around! Thank you so much, Jennifer for your fabulous work!!!!!! (PLEASE REFER TO THE LAST 3 PICTURES FOR THIS PAGE TO SEE JENNIFER'S GREAT WORK!) read more

This place is amazing... Ramona has done wonders for my hair.. I recommend this place to the fullest!!!

Iv'e been to many salons in my life and this is by far the best salon IMO! The salon was very clean and organized. The beautiful lady who cut my hair I believe her name was Linh, was very professional and was super nice! She is very skilled at what she does. Trust me! You will look good after you leave! She took her time and listened carefully to exactly the way I wanted my hair cut and delivered perfectly. I will for sure be going back here from now on. read more

I've been coming to get my hair cut by Linh for at least 8 years now, and she's been amazing the entire time! She's the only person who's been able to cut my hair well, doesn't rush through the job, is very meticulous in getting it right, and always makes sure I'm happy with everything. Beyond her professional excellence, Linh is a genuinely great person and is always so personable! I've never had a boring or uncomfortable silent haircut -- the whole hair cutting experience is so much more chill when you can just chat and catch up. As long as Linh is here, I'll keep coming! read more

Ramona highlights better than anyone I know. I got more compliments on my hair in the past month than ever in my life. Cuts are phenomenal! Highly recommended!! read more

Shari Khatiri has been cutting and coloring my hair for the last two years. She is the best stylist I have ever known and I've been to the best in New York and New Jersey. Her haircuts are incredible and she has great creativity when it comes to choosing the perfect color. She is super smart and really understands what it means to feel good about your hair. She is kind and patient and I recommend her to anyone who wants a really special experience. She also cuts my husband's hair and she makes a little bit of hair go a long way. He always gets compliments on his haircut, as do I. Go see Shari and you will be thrilled! Her number is 415-827-0761. read more

I recently discovered this charming unique salon last weekend. My long time hairstylist (Shari) recently took space at this location. Shari is talented, creative, articulate with an eye of perfection! The moment you sit in her chair you feel confident you're in regal hands, because you are. You feel beautiful because she is and her heart transfers over to your hair hence, did you know hair is emotional and thrives and lives healthy and long in love!!!! It's true. :) I recommend booking your New Year's hair appointment now! $$$ prices are fair, quality is extraordinary, service is 5 star. After all you deserve to be pampered and look your best.

Jennifer Damir is the best, especially with color. My hair has never looked so good and she styles it better than anyone I've had cut/color/style my hair!

Michelle is the very best at hair anywhere in Marin. She's a true artist and my hair has never ever looked better. She takes her time to do your hair just right and has a keen sense of style I haven't found anywhere else. In the business for over 20 years, her expertise is evident. I use her for both cut & color and the outcome is always perfect. Run don't walk to Michelle Whiteside. I promise you won't be disappointed. Michelle works best if you call her directly at 415-259-7609. She's extremely responsive!!! read more

Stylist Jennifer Damir is GREAT! Warm, personable, sweet, smart and talented! She is a great colorist, I've gone to her for several years for highlights, and she is an absolutely lovely, delightful, helpful person to work with. She has over 20 years of experience, works with men, women and children, and does full range of services, cuts, color, extensions, etc. Those few moments of scalp massage in the shampoo room are BLISS! I always feel warm & welcomed when I come in to see Jennifer and I leave feeling happy and satisfied. The salon has a pleasant, relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and everyone that works there or goes there seems to be too! Its almost like a living room and customers often end up having a friendly chat with each other, I like that. Nice windows, light and trees outside. No loud, blaring, pounding music, or fast paced edgy people attitude there. As someone else mentioned, great magazine selection while I sip my tea. Ahhh. I leave renewed! Highly recommended! read more

I found Shari when I was looking for a new stylist years ago. I was exercising with a women, I did not know, who had the perfect haircut. I asked her if she would mind sharing the name of her hairdresser. It was Shari. I have since followed Shari to Salon Decadence, a pleasant hair salon in Novato. Shari is a very good stylist, who really listens to what you want as well as giving you good suggestions. I have been very happy with my haircuts as I have evolved the style over the years. I also get hi/lo highlights. Shari is a very good colorist and really helped me pick two shades that give me a very natural look, which is what I wanted. Shari's prices are fair, and she is a super nice person as well. I frequently recommend her to friends, some of whom now go to Shari, and are equally pleased with her work! Give her a try! Her number is 415-827-0761. read more

Dehana was WONDERFUL! I got a same day appointment and he spent so much time and attention on me! I love my new hair and will definitely be going back to Dehana. Highly recommend! read more

I cold-called the Salon and got Ramona (the owner) on the other end. I told her of my plight, that all I wanted was a 1970s-style shag (think Sweet meets Mrs. Brady) and that all I ever got was the creative ability to feather my hair ala Farrah Fawcett. Not what I wanted. I'd waited months to go somewhere else and had one horrible and one 'meh' experience, leaving me gun-shy and frankly, terrified to sit in the chair again. Well, 45-minutes later, Ramona nailed it. I am so relieved and happy. She even got my usually-challenging bangs right. I'm currently rocking "second-day-hair" with no product and nothing but a "finger-fluff" upon rolling out of bed this morning. I'm thrilled. Thank you for saving my vanity! read more

I discovered a fabulous hair salon which is truly excellent due to their hair stylists, congeniality, and extremely comfortable ambiance. I recommend this salon very highly. I was very impressed with Jennifer for her expertise, knowledge, attention to my needs, and very pleasant attitude. Thanks again Jennifer for doing such a great job! read more

I went to Mary for my color and cut and I absolutely Love it. She really listens to what you want and takes her time with you. My hair has never looked better and she is easy to talk to. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a fantastic color and great experience in the Salon.They also have spa treatments including head neck and shoulder massages and manicure and pedicures.Enjoy read more

I have recently started going here to have my hair done by Linn. She is terrific. I have been looking for a long time for someone who is consistent and fairly priced. Linn is it!!!! I am also thrilled that Tracy is now there doing manicures and pedicures. I have been going to Tracy for a few years now, she left where she was and started here just recently. She is the BEST!!!! I will follow her, wherever she goes. After you get a mani/pedi you certainly feel like you just left a high end spa. Here attention to detail and desire to make her customers happy is obvious. read more

I just moved here from New York- and Salon Decadence is terrific and Ramona is great! The hardest thing about moving is finding a great hair salon- and this place is wonderful! read more

Let me just say how wonderful Michelle is. I walked in with flat fuzzy off red hair, but left with molten chocolate fabulously shaped amazing hair. Michelle walked me through how my hair needs to grow out to get the shape that I actually want and how we're going to go through this together. I'm so lucky to have found her she is such a talent thank you thank you thank you!! read more

Jen ( the ARTIST) colored my hair three colors and extensions. It looks amazing!!!! I have been to many salons all over the world . I have paid TOP $$$ as a former client of Maiden Lane in San Francisco.. Her work is superior to ANYONE I have ever gone to . Thank you soo much Jen!! You changed my hair and confidence as well ;) Thank you so much!!!!! read more

I've gone back and forth about writing this review because I didn't go back to the salon to complain in person. I have a hard time doing that. I saw someone at this salon the week of thanksgiving, and I am still feeling very disappointed. I had called to ask specifically for someone who is skilled at cutting thick, wavy hair. At the appointment, I said I wanted long layers/thinning, and that I wanted to avoid a mushroom cut. Unfortunately, I got a mushroom cut. The top layers are so short, it's going to take awhile for it to grow out long enough to truly fix. I also got highlights. The stylist spoke the words, "I can see exactly what you've had done so I'll do the same thing." Naturally, this made me feel comfortable. However, she did my highlights the old way- with a part. I didn't notice her process until it was too late. I had noticeable roots immediately after the appointment, and the highlights are growing out terribly. I chose this salon based on yelp reviews, so I felt compelled to add a review of my own. It's a shame to have a bad experience at a salon with such high overall reviews (and that costs over $200). read more

What a great find in downtown Novato. Diane did an excellent job. She took the time to ask me what I wanted and really listened. I have very thick and straight hair, which can be hard to style. She is confident and thorough. I am very happy with my new haircut and have already received a few compliments. I know this cut will last several months and that I have found a salon I can count on. read more

After two visits, I am 100% obsessed with Ramona. After years of letting my hair grow for months at a time without a cut or color (because the only stylist I like is 500 miles away in San Diego), I finally decided it's time to be a grownup and find someone local to do my hair. And boy, did I. I walked in today with vague ideas about wanting my hair to be "brighter" with "kind of a balayage situation" and "maybe some side bangs?" Somehow she took that and turned it into a great new cut with delicious-sounding shades of hazelnut and chocolate raspberry. And I. Am. So. Happy. Already can't wait to go back! read more

I saw Ramona today for highlights and a trim. She listened to what I wanted and did a wonderful job. My hair feels amazing too. Super soft and silky. This salon is clean and beautiful. I had my children with me and everyone was so nice and welcoming. I'm very impressed and would recommend Ramona and salon decadence to anyone! read more

This review is for Mary at salon decadence as she is literally a color wizard! I would not trust anyone else with my hair, and she is amazing at what she does. Also, she is extremely knowledgeable and you will always walk out looking good. I just found out she will be doing hair extensions as of April first, and I'm super excited! read more

Linh is the best! I've been getting my hair cut from Linh for 4 years now and she has always done a great job! Very professional!

I tried multiple salons over the years in Novato and either changed due to high turn over or due to finding stylists that could not consistently cut and color my hair to my liking. I tried Decadence in 2013 and have been going there ever since. I not only love the service but I fully trust Michelle Whiteside to tell me whether it's time to add low lights or highlights, trim my hair, etc. This is definitely the best salon in Novato in my experience! read more

Mary Anglade has been doing my hair for years. I always get compliments on my color and style. I totally trust her care and advice to keep my hair looking its best. Check her out! read more

I walked with the hope of getting my hair colored... To my surprise Mary had time for me, over 2 hours of dedicated work, she did color, highlights, touch up my cut... in an outstanding manner! I am very happy with the results, but most importantly with the warm atmosphere that these ladies have created. read more

Salon Decadence is fabulous! I highly recommend Debi and Ramona. Between the two of them, they have many many years of experience and it shows. I've always been very happy with their work. Very comfortable and professional setting, loaded with plenty of magazines! The only complaint I would have is to BRING BACK THE CANDY! Who couldn't use a little chocolate now and then?! But seriously, overall, you won't be disappointed. read more
