Great shave cut for the hubby who has been missing out on just a classic barber experience- price wise and something local. 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. I had chosen the wrong custom cut but the guy told him what to choose next time and charged him less. He said, "the guy had all kinds of razors in there." He came home so happy to have not had to hop on the freeway. Time is money. This is the spot! read more

I really do not like leaving bad reviews, but...... I think this has to be the worst haircut I've ever had and I've had a few of them over the years. 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... read more

Shavery Barbershop - My haircut after the appointment. - Barbers Near Me - Mill Valley, California

Hate to give a bad review... the stylist was nice guy. BUT... Wow... that was the weirdest hair cut experience I think I've ever had. 1. The stylist was working at Shake Shack until Tuesday and then somehow working at a "premium salon" 48 hours later. No apprenticeship, no previous salon experience. Just walking in the door to do $50+ men's haircuts. 2. The haircut was uneven, on both sides. 3. I wasn't offered any product for my hair after. 4. At one point I was asked whether I wanted a few random hairs cut. That was a first. 5. At one point someone came in for a walk-in, but was turned away with no availability. My barber called out the front desk guy's name but was ignored. The guy left and afterward my guy said "hey, I was available, I don't have anything after this, do I" to which the front desk guy said "No. Too late now." Bizarrely awkward experience end to end. read more

Unreliable! I've been using Shavery for a few months after moving to Mill Valley as they are the closest to me. Today was the 3rd time in about 6 visits I received a cancellation notice hours (at best) before my appointment. For a barber that makes you book weeks out, it's infuriating to never know on the day of your appointment whether you will actually get a haircut. While I've been mostly happy with the haircuts, I can't recommend or use this place further as you simply cannot rely on them to hold their appointments. They will cancel you on a moments notice for any reason, then take no accountability for the situation. read more

Got a nice cut...exactly the way I wanted it. Nice mellow vibe in the shop. The place is in a back parking lot, so not as easy to find first time. read more

My first and last visit I had a 9.15am shave appointment. Received multiple reminders of my appointment. When I arrived the person scheduled to help me , was not in, with no one else to fill in. I had a flight to my daughters wedding following the shave. So it was no small deal that they totally dropped the ball. Very disappointing. Tony. read more

I had my first Shavery haircut today and it was excellent! Ticelee has a wonderful personality, works fast and produces a great haircut!! I'll be back in her chair within a month!! read more

Matty was awesome. Great haircut, took his time to listen to what I wanted and made good recommendations also. Will definitely go back.

I've had continued great experiences with Christian. He understands how to ask questions during the haircut to make sure you're happy with the final product. Glad I found Shavery and Christian. If you need a the best men's haircut in Mill Valley, ask for Christian. read more

I struggle with this review. I think the barbers are talented and the new location is nice. However after being a client for a little over a year I was told my service will nearly double in $$. I get a 3" undercut on the nape of my neck with a simple chevron design. That will go from $40 to $70!! What a bummer....And my cut was crooked today when I left. Double bummer. I will need to find a new up and coming barber... read more

Ticelee was great!!! Friendly, thoughtful and you know she enjoys her work... thanks ! read more

I've had my haircut twice by jonathan. Great cut. Professional. Precise. Efficient and clean. Great vibe at the shop. Thanks!

The past two times I have come in to get a haircut, I have received the worst haircuts of my life and will never be going again. The hair cuts are uneven and never what you ask for. The barbers never listen to what you ask them to do and end up taking off way more hair every time. I even provided pictures both times! Then on top of a poor haircut that is uneven, and not what you want, they ask for $$$. Does not make sense. Christian is one of the barbers that I have had in the past who actually gave me a very good cut, but the rest of all the barbers for the past few years have given crappy cuts. read more

Go see Laya if you want a great cut and experience!!! I am a following customer from a previous barbershop where I started getting my haircut by Laya. Unfortunately when she left I tried other barbers at that location and other barbershops around Marin... no one compares to Laya! She is always friendly, takes the time to learn about her client and learns how they want their hair cut, and most importantly she is a VERY skilled barber. I have particularly challenging hair to cut... it is stick straight and has a mind of its own which requires some special attention and a skilled hand to be shaped how I like... Laya never disappoints and always makes sure I'm happy with the cut before we're done. Kind, compassionate and talented! Great addition to the Shavery! The new shop is awesome as well! Great parking and location in Mill Valley! Go check them out! read more

The Shavery has really just gone down hill. More and more money for less and less. Every time I go in there's a different set of barbers and they seem to get me out the door faster with a haircut I'm just not happy with. I was a little annoyed when they moved to a cheaper location, behind the building, and raised their prices... but at least I still got a good cut. I just left with a cut I'm not happy with. I was told if I want a 3 guard on the sides and a 4 used for the razor (no scissors at all) it would be $70!! Then when I left I was aggressively asked for a tip twice. It's just not worth it. read more

I thought I would treat my son to a haircut and I've been curious about The Shavery ever since they moved across the street from my salon. What an awesome experience! Josh's attention to detail is exceptional and what a nice guy! He even got treated to a warm towel on his face with his shampoo. My son is thrilled with his cut and new product that Josh turned him on to. Highly recommend this place !! read more

Jonathan was great. Best haircut I've had in a long while and very good service. I will return!

Service and quality continues to improve here. Jonathan is a master with the flat razor for those that need that style of cut. Highly recommend him. Look forward to the new space. read more

Always a good day when I get a trim. My man Jonathon always has me leaving clean. Highly recommend!

It took me a little while to find the right barbershop in MV, but find it I did. Shavery has a cool, low-key vibe and a friendly, engaging team that clearly enjoys working together. Most importantly, I get a top notch haircut from Hallie. Highly recommended. read more

Kept us waiting half an hour after our appointment time, unbelievable! For a haircut!? And then no apologies. Use Jonathan at your own risk (of wasted time). Cut was nothing great (wasted money!). Better haircuts at Era Salon for half the price, and less attitude. Only come here if you really need and are willing to pay for the male barber bromance, which is the only thing this place offers. read more

Lily gives the best fades! Super detailed, I would highly recommend her for anyone wanting a good fade in Marin

Using Yelp reviews, I continued my multi year quest to find a barber inMarin who is as good as my barber in the Financial District. After 30 years with my old barber, the hassle and cost of getting to the financial district in SFO is just too much. Well, the YELP Reviews pointed me to the Shavery. The posted photos on yelp gave me confidence that team at the Shavery would have great skills. I was not disappointed! Josh listened carefully to my requirements and did a great job. I am now signed up to be a frequent flyer. No more long trips, crossing the bridge to San Francisco ! read more

The Shavery is like hanging out with friends. Great banter, great service and everyone working there loves working there and it shows. I have the worlds most difficult hair to cut which has been pointed out by nearly everyone who has ever attempted it. Steve took on the challenge and his work is art. Even my wife says I look better than ever. Many barbers suck. Steve doesn't suck. He is simply brilliant , talented , fun and a good guy. Can't say enough about what a pleasure it is to hang out at Shavery. Almost forgot , their playlist is spectacular. read more

Totally overpriced and don't get Josh. I had him cut my hair for over $60. Totally not worth it since it was the worst haircut I have ever received. The guy was a total grump and super cocky. At most places, you can get better haircuts for a lot less and a friendlier barber. read more

Had my haircut by Joey. The best haircut I have had in a very long time. Clean shop and great service. He has a great eye for detail.

Recently moved up from LA. This is definitely the best haircut I've had in the Bay Area...and I've been looking. If I'm honest, it's one of the best haircuts I've had in years. Steve did the cut. And everyone else in the shop was friendly and this place has a nice vibe to it, very comfortable. read more

Finally! A barbershop in Mill Valley! Loved it, Steve did an amazing job on my beard and hair. They're friendly, easy-going and reasonably priced. I would advice making an appointment read more

Josh is wonderful. In addition to giving my son an excellent haircut, he has a great manner about him, with both a friendly warmth and a relaxed chill vibe that works well with a teenager. I highly recommend him! read more

This is a warning for future customers of this shop , if you like your hair stay away. I came in today first time to get a hair cut , I explained in detail how my hair is cut and how my beard is trimmed and the barber josh seemed to understand . The haircut was done nothing like what I explained, the barber tried multiple times to fix it with no luck , than he started my beard and there I just stopped him as I saw the same thing that happened to my hair will happen to my beard . I ended up shaving my hair off to take off the weird thing that he did with my hair . The barber saw my frustration and decided to charge me 15$ instead of 60$ . Honestly I don't mind paying 60$ for haircut but I expect the person cutting to know what they are doing, I wanted to tell this guy that he should pay me as it felt like he was experimenting on my hair.... I have the same haircut in 10 years and it was the first time I walked out of a barber shop angry . This was a really bad experience - and to top it all the guy is trying to sell me product while I keep telling him that he doesn't even know how to cut hair , anyway be adviced to make sure whoever cuts your hair will do what you want and not try and guess . read more

This place is worth every penny you spend here. 5/5 best haircut I've ever had. Been coming here for 3 years and a haircut here can change your day. read more

Been having my haircut by Joey here at shavery and he's by far the best barber I've ever had in my life. Literal Michelangelo of my head. The shop is super professional and great vibes. I gave Joey and shavery 10 stars plus more. read more

I haven't taken the time to write a review before but with the horrible lack of service from this business I want to warn others that the owner has no regard for clients time. On the first occasion I made an appointment I ended having to wait 30 minutes before being seen. On the second occasion I showed up at my scheduled time just as someone was being sat with the stylist I was scheduled to see. When I pointed out to the owner that I had an appointment he told me I was just going to have to wait. Why bother making an appointment if the owner is just going to ask you to wait indefinitely? Avoid this place if you value your time. read more

My wife took me to the Shavery for my 63rd birthday. What a great experience. Steve took every pain. With me to shave my bald head and face. Not a nick! This was relaxing and nurturing and manly too. The shot of Johny Walker Black helped too. I look forward to going back and want to make his a periodic ritual of self care and male comfort and body care. Thanks Steve! read more

I've been to this place a few times now and it's the best in Marin. It's an SF quality cut/trim with SF quality barbers. I typically see Josh (big red beard!) who is flawless so I recommend trying to find a spot with him if you can, but I've seen everyone walk out of here happy no matter who the barber is. Great outdoor space and beverages provided while you wait (but make an appointment) read more
