I'm always a little nervous to try out a new salon but have been looking for someone based in Marin... so glad I took a chance on Salon B because it's honestly the best curly cut I've ever had! Amy and Bishlam have created such a lovely space... they're both so friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. Bishlam carefully took his time to look at my hair and to get a sense of what I wanted/didn't want and he even talked through some techniques for styling and explained what kind of products would work best for my texture. For anyone who's struggled to find a really great curly hair specialist, I can't recommend them enough! So lucky to have them in town!

From the moment we started, he took the time to genuinely consult with me before picking up a single pair of scissors. He clearly explained why certain techniques and styles would work for my curl type and face shape, and he even helped me understand why I've loved some past cuts and not others. With that insight, and just the great conversation we had, he delivered a cut I absolutely love. It's low maintenance (exactly what I asked for), but also super versatile: I can wear it up or down, and it fits seamlessly into my lifestyle. It works beautifully with my curls and exceeds every expectation I had. Bishlam is incredibly kind, deeply knowledgeable about curly hair, and passionate about proper hair care. His wife Amy was also wonderful. Highly recommend Salon B to anyone, especially those with curly hair looking for someone who truly understands it!

I've been able to try so many different looks over time, from really dark colors to so many different variations of reds and coppers, and now playing with different shades of brunette closer to my natural color. She's helped me explore so many different looks while also guiding me on what's realistic and making sure my hair stays healthy and manageable. She's also taught me so much about how to properly take care of my hair, and I've noticed such a big difference in the overall health and feel of it. Gale genuinely cares about her clients and really makes it her mission to do what's best for you and your hair. She's incredibly thoughtful, creative, and detail-oriented, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. She creates such a comfortable, welcoming experience and I always enjoy getting to connect with her during my appointments. She really was made for this work and has a way of making people feel confident and taken care of. I'll never go back to at-home color, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair besides Gale.

I came back for another haircut and I do want to start by saying that I really like my stylist. He…read morealways does a great job, and I've actually recommended him to other people because I trust his work. That being said, the front desk experience was disappointing again. This time it was the main girl who handles scheduling (last time she wasn't there and another staff member who helps with blow-drying was covering, and that experience was just as annoying). During my appointment -- while I literally had hair all over my face -- she walked up asking me to book my next appointment and pay. I had to tell her I couldn't even see because there was clearly hair covering my face. It was obvious. It just felt like she wasn't reading the room at all. Moments like that really disrupt the vibe of the appointment. It feels unprofessional and honestly gives me the ick. When someone interrupts the flow like that, it takes away from the experience and, in my opinion, probably affects people's tips too because it kills the mood right before checkout. Obviously, I'm gonna pay before I leave and schedule my next appointment. I feel like she doesn't read the room and comes at the most inconvenient time. It's kind of a buzz kill. I genuinely like my stylist and the work he does, but if this continues to happen, I might have to reconsider coming back.

It's a scary prospect finding someone new but honestly, the outcome could not have been better. Denise Carvajal is hands down the best stylist I've ever had and I've been coloring my hair for decades. She specializes in blondes and is everything I was looking for: highly skilled, a great listener, empathetic and experienced. She really gets how important the outcome of your visit is for you! She's got a great problem solving approach. A previous stylist was having difficulty getting my hair to a nice bright blonde but somehow Denise figured it out also without damaging it. I have genetic alopecia so to say I'm touchy about my hair is an understatement. I feel 100% in the best hands.

The vibes of the salon are also very comfortable, I really love how every stylist is friendly and engaged with their customers. Give them a try, I'm sure you'll be pleased :)

I must have gotten lucky because Jenny Sack was the first stylist I tried and I have never gone anywhere else! Bottom line- Jenny is a master at cutting hair! My husband is a client of hers as well. Pricing is very reasonable (which is something I don't find myself saying often in Marin!) The salon itself is unassuming but it gets the job done. I love that it's usually pretty quiet (on most occasions I am the only client...or maybe there will be one other stylist and client there). Parking is easy in the structure behind the salon and they give you an hour free. Thank you James Rose!

He kept commenting on how sweaty I was so I finally mentioned that it was warm in there and he said oh you're going to have to stay sweaty then because I'm cold. I originally made the appointment for roots and a blowout but after he was super rough at the bowl and I asked him to please be more gentle he gave me a lecture on why he couldn't be gentle while washing my hair. I thought point I just asked him to please brush my hair so I could leave and he said I knew it as if he had pegged me for some kind of Karen lol. I'm going to leave a picture of how much hair I pulled out because of how rough he was at the bowl when I got home and blow dried and brushed my own hair. No I don't know anyone except David but my roommate says she knows Tony and will be speaking to him directly. I got home and I was shaking. It was just him and I and he was mad. He quoted me $95 for this amazing experience lol. There's more but I want this to be over. This place or at least David isn't for female clients at all. I almost forgot this man had clothes on that must've been two weeks old without being washed he stunk so bad when I got home and blow dryed my hair I could still smell it on me. So yeah I may be sweaty due to hyperemesis but at least I don't stink.
