Carla did an amazing job on my hair. Hadn't cut it in two years and I couldn't have trusted a better person to bring life back to my hair! She's also just a wonderful and warm person, makes you feel relaxed and welcome. Truly a gem!

Carla is amazing!! She really takes the time to personalize your hair to exactly what you want it to look like. She is very very knowledgable and uses great technique. She's also great at color matching. Whether that is making sure the top of your hair matches the bottom (I had uneven color before her) or just making the most flattering color that goes with your skin tone. Carla will help you look and feel your best!

Beautiful color from Carla!

I love this salon and the ladies who work there! I have been going to Cindy for years and she is an amazing stylist she's great with blondes and knows her color which is great as I am a Natzi about my hair color. she was a friend before a stylist and kept telling me she had a vision for my hair. I was game, and so it began, a long blonde relationship . She's incredible and has such a great vibe. I recently moved to Novato and saw that Cindy was booked through September so I stupidly made an appointment with someone here. My hair was much darker than I like and I was pretty unhappy. I called Cindy, who , I found out was leaving for vacation for a month the next day. I panicked.. She said she would have the owner of the salon Carla call me. I figured Carla would call a few days later, it was Monday..Literally the next morning she called me and I was in her chair Wednesday night.. I had sent Cindy and Carla pictures of my "brown " hair and they text consulted my hair ( remember, Cindy's on vacation) so Carla would know what she's in for. When I arrived she told me she looked at my Facebook page to see what my real blonde was. I thought that was brilliant! Carla was fantastic. Since she had done her consult with Cindy,she knew exactly what I needed to rescue my brown roots .She waved her magic wand, and I had a head full of highlights in foil before I knew it. We chatted away as she is very kind and very funny felt like I knew her for years. My color came out so incredible it looked perfect I was thrilled.She blew it out like I'd never seen it and it looked beautiful.Carla is rock star colorist and I will forever be grateful to her. Moral of the story Ladies.....don't EVER cheat on your stylist no matter how inconvenient you think Novato is from Mill Valley, LOL PLEASE!

Okay, so I had no idea I looked so ratty from behind, but here's proof that i did. Check out the sombre'd back now! Thanks Quianna!

Yay Quianna! Got a Groupon and crossed my fingers, but I'm new to the area and desperately needed a haircut and something needed to be done about my over ombred hair. Quianna was so friendly and patient, I texted her a current photo plus some I-wish photos and now my hair looks like what I had pictured in my head! You know how sometimes you come in with a photo and you talk with the stylist, but somewhere along the line, you end up with hair that does not resemble the photo AT ALL? Well, that will not happen here. Quianna asks a lot of questions and summarizes what she's gonna do before she starts. I love that. I like knowing where we're going and how we're gonna get there. And she works fast so there's not many hours in the chair (my pet peeve). Quianna was also happy with the results and asked if she could post to her Instagram. I said yes, and here's what she posted. Quite a difference, huh? Hint: If your hair is fried, go for the oleoplex, it's worth it! I highly recommend the experienced, former San Diegan Quianna! From rat's nest to polished in 2 hours! Woohoo!

It's a til death relationship here.  Thank you Carla.

Excellent work! Professional service and super good vibe!…read moreHad so much fun today and my haircut was awesome

Milvali salon feels more like a assembly line chop shop vs high end salon experience. I've had two…read moreservices here and both fell short. I had a haircut here, which I ended up waiting for the stylist for over an hour. When she finally saw me she said it was bc some scraggly haired woman with her extensions came in last minute demanding she fix her hair, and so she spent hours re bonding (or whatever the term is?) the hair. I'm not trying to be mean here, but the woman had very fine blonde hair that was bob length and got hair down to her waist. My aside here is ...ladies...can we just love what we have and maybe do any enhancements in moderation instead of totally going overboard with the extensions down to our tushies?! And, yes, I was rightfully upset bc I had an appt and this woman did not, yet I had to wait for my scheduled service?? Totally doesn't make sense. The kicker was when I told the stylist she should have rescheduled me if she was going to be so late, and her response was that she didn't want to lose another customer that day. Welp, she definitely lost me as a customer, because I'd never go back to her. The cut was okay but overall a mind boggling experience and a waste of my time. The other experience I had was getting a facial from an aesthetician. I specifically let her know I didn't want any animal tested or animal products on my skin. And yet, she slapped collagen on my face (and it wasn't marine collagen). She also didn't do any arm or neck massage, which is odd because with all the facials I've had at other places, I've always had a light massage while a mask is on my face. When I asked about the massage, the aesthetician said she leaves the room while my mask is on vs doing a massage. Additionally, she kept using the term "anti-aging", despite me sharing that I'm not against what natural process happens to us all, and I don't like language that makes us hate a natural process. I think (especially in a spa or salon setting) there are far more positive terms we can use to describe caring for our skin. Rejuvenating, refreshing, aging with grace, naturally enhancing...sounds far more from a place of love and acceptance for ourselves than "anti-aging". From both of these less than par experiences, my take away was that I was in a low caliber salon, and not a specialized, leveled up establishment. It's been a year and I haven't returned, nor would I recommend this place to others.

I've posted before about how much I love this place. I had my brows done by Lori today and she was…read moregreat! I'm an older woman who needs someone to create brows that look as good as they can be and Lori is that person. I also like Benefit's products for brows - lots of choices and they're always coming up with more. It's definitely my place.

Negative stars. My eyebrows are ruined from this place. It's been a month since I got my eyebrows…read morewaxed here and they're still THIN. My eyebrow lady never asked me what I wanted, I had to stop her first before she put the wax on to tell her I'm still growing them out. I just wanted them touched up because the last time I was here she did a great job. I'm posting a picture of what they looked like before I went in when my eyebrows were full and then after day after they were waxed. Literally still cannot get over how awful this was. I honestly think they make your brows thinner so you can buy more product. I got this service a month ago. I was hoping by now they would have grown out but they haven't. It took me years to get them as full as they were. And now I just feel really self conscious looking in the mirror and trying to work with them. There's really nothing they can do to fix my brows, they're just ruined indefinitely. Product doesn't fix them I don't want to have to wear MORE make up to fix my brows that looked great before.
