Andreas really knows his business. I never have to micromanage him like I have had to do in the past with other hairdressers. I just ask for what I want and he delivers. Plus he's really charming and his dog Bullet is always amusing. Reasonable pricing for this inflated county. read more

Because of recent surgery, I could not go to my regular hairdresser I live Bonaire center and have walked past the ranch many times I stopped in and asked if he cut women's hair and he said he did the the next day I got a wonderful layered haircut that was much needed after months of recuperation from surgery. I highly recommend Andreas and I love his dog bullet as well. read more

Highly recommend. Anders, proprietor, gave me a great cut and the surprising history of the "Ranch" name is great..... he's Scandinavian! Watched parts of a great western movie when he was focused on styling. read more

Came in and paid an insane price for probably the worst haircut of my life. One side is blended while the other isn't, and is just not what i asked for. I Had high hopes for a place that was located close to me and was very disappointed. read more

I've recommended this place to so many people in person, it's surprising I haven't yelped about it yet. Andreas and David, to the best of my knowledge, make up the staff at the Ranch, and for my money (which is way less than you'd pay at a downtown SF by-appointment-only stylist/salon place), they do a great job. With all apologies to Andreas, who has a great concept, a great business, and a great attitude, David (to second Daniel W.'s yelp review) is the one who is great at cutting hair. He's also a good guy, and it's fun to watch NFL highlights and talk fantasy football with your barber. I'm going on a year solid of really good cuts, all thanks to David. read more

Wow, after reading all those great reviews I wonder if there is anything more to say. However, I want to get my 2 cents in. I have been going to the Ranch in Bon Air for about 6 mos and Leeza has been giving me the greatest cuts. She actually cuts my hair 'dry' which I haven't been able to find since my college days and that was a very long, long time ago, believe me. She seems to know exactly how I want it each time I return so there is no further explaining and my hair always just falls back into place when she is finished. The shop is small and the decor is great, even for us girls, and if Duke, big black lab, is inhouse he will always greet you with a big smile and tail wag. This is the place to go for your hair so give it a try and ask for Leeza. She won't disappoint you. Virginia J., Greenbrae read more

Andreas has extended his business from just down town San Anselmo to Bon Air, and he's successfully duplicated the great Ranch experience! Besides getting a great haircut, which you will, you get excellent customer service - always. Highly recommended! update - I've been a Ranch customer for a long time, and for the last year or more, David has been the one cutting my hair. He's a GREAT addition to The Ranch and is carrying forward the Ranch tradition of excellent haircutting. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Class and Charisma to charm you, intuitive and precise to treat you. This place was great and Ember was so great to talk to and listen in to what My hair and I wanted to happen. Thank you so much read more

Ever since my husbands local barber retired in early 2020, we have been in search of someone that could cut both men and women's hair well and at a reasonable price. We found both at The Ranch Salon. We stumbled on the salon while visiting Pete's Coffee at the Greenbrae shopping center. We made a next day appointment and could not have been happier. We both received excellent cuts and plan on returning routinely. read more

I went to the Ranch for the first time the other day. The environment is great. Most hair solons cater to women. This one caters to men. It is very comfortable. Andreas does a great job. I had a shampoo & haircut. I was very happy with the outcome. He is friendly efficient and did a great job at a reasonable price. read more

The only person i trusted with my hair worked in San Franciso and then moved. Since then, ive tried about 3 other hair stylist and no luck. Jennifer cut my hair at the ranch, she did a fantastic job. i gave her a vague idea of what i wanted, she cut my hair better than i could have hoped for. definitely be going back there from now on. cool place to get your haircut, everyone was super friendly and there is the dog duke to pet as well. great place. read more

I hate having my hair cut, especially since the one person who did it right retired years ago. So my hair was very long; I got it "pre-chopped" someplace cheap, then went looking for a new "home". I looked around on the internet and decided to take a chance on the Ranch. Leeza was very nice and did her best to match the photo I brought in from years ago. Initiall I wasn't completely happy, it didn't look the same as I remembered, but the next day I woke up and with a quick brushing, my hair fell into place exactly the way I wanted! I'm grateful I took her suggestion of a bit of mousse to hold the style. I just made an appointment to get it cut tomorrow, and will be going there from now on. Please note that I spent a couple of hours on the internet, comparing places, and most of what I encountered was VERY expensive, which the Ranch definitely was not. I appreciate this a lot, as I'm on a fixed income, and am recommending them to everyone. read more

I came here when I needed a haircut before a business trip and my regular barbershop was closed. I hate to have to write this review, but this was the worst haircut I've gotten in a over a decade. Contrary to other reviews, the place is very clean, well decorated, and the gal cutting my hair was as nice as could be. But I come to a barbership for the haircut and the cut I got was uneven and looked terrible - I would have been better off at SuperCuts. Maybe I caught the place on a bad day, the other reviews look pretty good. read more

Took my husband here for a quick buzz cut for his hair and beard. Don't get me wrong the woman was very nice and the cut looked good. But $50 for a buzz cut!?!?!?! That is just ridiculous! No wash or anything...just a simple 10-15 minute buzz. That price is just astronomical for what they did. I would not recommend this place simply because of their pricing. You can get just as great of service and cut for half the price elsewhere! read more

Unfortunately, the quality has only gotten worse every time I've visited. First visit was awesome, great haircut at a decent price. Second visit, dog piss on the floor/carpet by the pool table which nobody bothered to clean up; at least I still got a good cut. Third visit (about 6 weeks later), dried dog piss on the floor/carpet by the pool table - foul; haircut ended up fine only after I asked the stylist to go over it twice more. Fourth visit I was 10 minutes late and was turned away. I can only tolerate lackluster conditions and subpar service for so long. I won't be coming back. And it's 2010 and they only take cash: lame. read more

I'm not happy to be writing a review like this but I would've been better off going to Super Cuts. The haircut is bizarre and uneven. And when I talked to them on the phone, I described the haircut I wanted in some detail and said it'd be 26 dollars which included hair wash. They reneged on this and insisted I pay 36 and didn't wash my hair. I definitely wouldn't have come here had they been honest with me. It makes sense why it was so easy to get an appointment at this location and not the others. I definitely do not recommend this place. If you wait a haircut of this level of quality, go to super it's and pay a fraction of the price. The people were otherwise friendly and the place looked cool. read more

Got a mediocre haircut here by a guy who's hands smelled of cigarette smoke, who didn't even introduce himself. The cut was blunt and uneven, not worth the $45 I paid (with no wash or styling!). I will not return. read more

Had a solid haircut experience with Andreas. A good place for a guy to get his shear on. Big screen TV with ESPN while you get your locks snipped. Bathroom, water, pool table. Most importantly Andreas is a nice guy that seems to really care about his customers' experience. read more

I have been a very satisfied repeat customer of The Ranch for several years now. I never leave the salon disappointed. Andreas consistently and masterly cuts my hair and trims my beard to perfection. Naturally, he takes great pride in his work, and it always shows. As an elderly man, I've had many, many haircuts from lots of different folks over the years. And, Andreas stands out as one of the very best! read more

Andreas is fantastic! I've gone to him a few times recently because I wanted a more stylish cut than my regular barber gave. He asks me exactly what I want and he takes his time to make sure everything is perfect, which is light years ahead of the 15 minute standard cut you would get elsewhere. I also love that I can space out and just watch TV while he works his magic. I HIGHLY recommend The Ranch. P.S. - His shop is always meticulously clean and they are nice enough to offer you a beverage as soon as you walk in the door. read more

The reviews seemed too good to be true so I had to find out for myself. Everything was as billed. Showed up a little early, was offered some rootbeer, and the appointment started on schedule. I always give a new hairdresser total creative freedom on the first go just to see what they're made of. 9 times out of 10 they try to dazzle me with the latest tools and techniques and in the end I'm unimpressed. Andreas skipped that-- just improved on what I already had going, and did it fast and well. Very refreshing, exactly what I wanted. Great cut, great price, great place. My search for a hairdresser is over. read more

I have continued to go the The Ranch for the past few years. I am always pleased with my cut. Recently, I tried a new guy named Jerry. He was meticulous, and I ended up with a perfect haircut. I highly recommend The Ranch. read more

My hair was out of control and I waited too long to set an appointment with my regular stylist. My wife was starting to make weird faces every time she looked at me and that is not a good thing. She said get it done today so I searched for walk in mens hair cuts and the reviews for the Ranch looked great. Andreas gave me the last appointment and did a spectacular job on my hair and the price was right. I do not have easy hair to cut what with the hairline and gray and such but Andreas did such an incredible job. IMHO I look fabulous ( and that ain't easy). I got to watch Jeremiah Johnson on the big screen and had a great time talking with Andreas. This is a great place for men's haircuts. read more

I have been a customer at the Ranch since it's beginning in 2005. I happened on the salon in San Anselmo on a shopping trip. I had been having my hair done at various salons in San Francisco but was not satisfied. I tried The Ranch out and got a GREAT haircut w/color and have been returning monthly since then. I have since moved from San Francisco and reside in the East Bay so the trip is a bit further but well worth it. I have experienced all three salons and find the ambiance wonderful at all of them. The pictures show the interior very well. You will be pleased. They are clean, the employees friendly and helpful, and the giant screen televsions very entertaining. Over the years I have met many of their customers and have yet to find a disgruntled one. I am sure you will find this a first class extablishment. Andreas cuts my hair but I would have no problem with having any of the stylists do my hair. They are all very professional. The prices are very reasonable for the services performed. read more

I've had Andreas cut my hair exclusively for over a year and it's always a great cut and a great time that I actually look forward to. It pretty much rocks to play a little nine-ball while waiting for a chair to open up. While I'm with Mark B. and it would be great to have a beer while there, I won't take off a star. Also, it's dubious as to whether beer and barbering mix. There's the old-time story of the minister who was getting a straight-razor shave from a beery barber who knicked him. As the barber was applying a styptic pencil to the bleeding cut, the minister remarked, "See what drinking does!" "Yep, Reverend," the barber replied, "Sure looks like it makes your skin tender!" Now, if Andreas and David wanted to supply biscuits and gravy... read more

Andreas has been cutting my hair for over a year at the Ranch. I definitely recommend it. I'm always happy with the result and Andreas and the team (David, Jennifer & Duke) provide a great, comfortable atmosphere and conversation. Play some pool while you wait - and watch HD sports while you get your cut. Get to the Ranch! read more

Andreas has been cutting my hair since 2007, first at The Ranch, San Anselmo and now at his Bon Air (Greenbrae) location. I, too, am extremely picky about who cuts my hair. After a number of years of less-than-acceptable haircuts since my previous haircutter went back to the restaurant business, I walked into The Ranch, San Anselmo after seeing an ad in the Pacific Sun. I have been happy ever since. The mood is laid back. I never feel rushed. I can get an appointment easily and the price is right! "A great place to get a great haircut" really says it! read more

Awful. simple stuff like "please just do the same" is not possible; stylist Elaine will "borrow" your head of beautiful thick hair to "learn" the great look you walked in with, redo it in reverse, and then - yes- remove it with the clippers. Way above the hairline too, ladies, so you get to wear stubble at the back of the neck for a month. it really doesn't matter that you specifically asked that your hair NOT be cut above the hairline; it will be done anyway. Likewise, thinning shears, and you will be charged for this. Don't bother stopping in to see the manager: he'll close the door in your face and tell you to come back next week. No; I gave this shop three tries. No. And rude, to boot. read more

Leeza is the best hair stylist I have ever visited. The best. She has some kind of hair ju ju going on. extremely professional and kind but I go to the Ranch to get my hair cut. highly recommended, you'll be glad you did. thanks, Paul read more

There's something going on at this place that just doesn't feel right. Now three haircutters in a row have "disappeared" in less than the one year I've been going here. First was Luisa, they said she moved out of state. OK. Then Joelle disappeared, I thought that was weird because the last time she cut my hair she had said she planned on staying. When I asked I was told she left to do real estate. Then they put me with Kendra. She wasn't as good as the other ladies, but she was nice. When I booked with her again, they gave me someone else without telling me first, when I asked why I was told she was sick. I don't like explaining my hair every time I get it cut. Well, I just ran into Kendra who told me she's been cutting hair in Novato. Now I feel I've been lied to. I also have seen the owner speak poorly to the other girls who work there. Why lie? If people leave, just tell their clients the truth. This is messed up I'm going to drive to Novato to see Kendra from now on. read more

Andreas does an awesome job cutting hair and providing a great and relaxing environment while you're sitting in the chair and he's working his magic! I've been going to him for 2 years now, will continue to, and recommend him to my friends. If I'm in a crunch, I can find him in one of his three Marin locations. read more

Not just for men! I tried this place because a Groupon happened to come up right when I desperately needed a haircut. Leeza cut my hair and it is the best cut I've had since I don't know when. I have shoulder-length straight (but with some bend) hair that is in an awkward growing out stage, and she made it look great! And all I have to do is get out of the shower and comb it. Seriously, I'm not letting anyone else touch my hair from now on! read more

My husband's $60-$70 haircuts at "fancy" salons are a thing of the past. He saw David last week and his hair looks great. Thanks for a great cut and see you again soon! read more

Comfortable atmosphere, very friendly and experienced stylists, I am really enjoying my haircut.

Andreas cut my hair today at the new Mill Valley location. He did a great job. I had put off getting it cut for about six months. He is warm and welcoming. He has a good sense of humor and was great with my five year old kid. I really like my cut and will be going here from now on and more frequently than every six months. I'm so happy I found a place like this in my town. Thanks very much. Highly recommended. Cheers. read more

Great place. I hate getting my haircut, so I am glad I finally found a quality place nearby.

They need to tell us AT THE DOOR that this shop is for men only. Ladies, do NOT use this place. Men, watch out also. I made a terrible mistake thinking I could get a trim here but the reality is that the stylist , who is named Amber, seems to be mentally impaired or lazy, or both. I actually went to the sink so she could wet my hair and she wasn't even able to do that. I assumed initially that she just wanted it "damp", so I continued with her. She clearly does not know what to do. I came in with a ridiculously uneven grown out hair situation, and needed a good trim. What she actually did was organize her efforts to copy and reproduce it, and it just looks awful. Too lazy to actually cut and style the whole thing, she then collected about a one inch swath of hair from the top and snipped it shorter all around, thereby ruining the crown, also. The clincher came when she asked me if I preferred to wear to the side, or symmetricaI; I answered, "symmetrical". Whereupon she stated, "Oh that's too bad, I already cut it to one side". Just a disgrace. Attention EVERYBODY: This shop can not be used, or at least not when that stylist is on duty. WOMEN OF MARIN COUNTY: Never. read more

I recently had a haircut at the Ranch in San Anselmo by Andreas, the owner. I reflected on the fact that it has been 7-years since I wandered into the Ranch for my initial haircut. From that day to this the Ranch is the only hair salon that has cut my hair. My experience has always been excellent - Andreas places the very highest of standards on himself and his employees, he is unbending on customer satisfaction and providing a quality haircut, maintains very clean and well-appointed salons and always has a friendly demeanor and a sincere interest that his customers have a good experience. I have followed Andreas as he has built his business from the San Anselmo location to now include Bon Air in Greenbrae and the new Mill Valley location. Andreas is establishing himself as the model of a small businessman who is growing his business in Marin. Not bad for a former sailor in the Swedish Navy who immigrated to this country, worked hard to get his US citizenship and is now a small business employer in our community. Mike M. read more

Two thumbs up for the Ranch. Great place for a guy to go for a cut. Nice environment. Friendly and experienced people. Service is great and price is reasonable. I have seen Andreas about half a dozen times and have been very happy with his place and his cuts. read more

Great haircut, great atmosphere and nice staff! Love the pool table and Duke the dog too. One you try it, you'll be back! Thanks Andreas! Oh, San Anselmo shop is great too! read more
