Tina called me back the next day and was able to get me in that afternoon. I met her, we chatted about what happened and what I really wanted.

I am very picky about my hair, especially when it comes to keeping my length, and Lizet completely understood the assignment! She listened to exactly what I wanted, kept my length, and somehow still made my hair look and feel completely refreshed. She perfected my hair, and my hair is back to healthy!

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.

I am obsessed with Sonja Polumbo (aka Hair Houdini)! I will follow her wherever she goes and have…read morerecently done so as she moved from Marin Beauty Company to Studio 861 in downtown Novato! I welcome this change as Marin Beauty was not meeting my needs however Sonja certainly was and still is! I LOVE Studio 861! It's calm, soothing, open, airy, and welcoming; a little oasis on the quaint Grant Street. This salon fits Sonja's amazing personality and hair skills like a glove! Here are the reasons I am a Sonja Loyalist: -She's incredibly thorough, punctual, fair priced, open minded, into keeping up with current trends and styles through continued education and hair seminars. -She's flexible: Sonja has keys to the salon and can come in early and on Mondays, by appointment. -She takes walk-ins -She cares! She has zero ego and will listen to everything you want and need. What I like even more is that she will listen, be open minded but will also gently give her advice and expertise to give you your best look. Another reason to make an appointment immediately: -Sonja has a special going on for first time clients! Receive 25% off your 1st visit! You have nothing to lose, except gray hair, roots and dead ends! ;-) Thank you, Sonja!!

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!

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Salon B, and I can't say enough great things about…read moreBishlam! 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!

Excellent haircuts/hair styling but you will have to have the patience of a saint to get through…read morethe appointment. I've had my hair done by Issam and he is amazing, but he is hyper to the max and will chat with every single person in the salon while cutting your hair. He literally will stop with my hair and walk up to another hairstylist or client and start chatting away about their weekend plans. Drives me batty. If I didn't love the way Issam does my hair I would never return but he does have a true gift. I almost have to go to yoga after the hair appointment to just chill out. If you are way more mellow than I am then you won't have a problem. If you want great hair then check this place out for sure, you will leave with great hair.

My wife and I were desperately in need of a local hair establishment that could help her stretch…read moreher style needs while giving me a stylish cut that I can count on. What a delight to find such a fresh salon that doesn't strive for an attitude, but is a joy to visit and happens to have some of the best stylists around. Mela has done a remarkable job tapping into my wife's hair DNA and creating styles that are both lively and precise. David already had a sense of what I needed from my hair, and his expertise and attention to detail are without peer in the Marin/Sonoma area. I know, having been here nearly 50 years. There's fun in the air when you visit the salon and you can palpably sense the warm connection between the stylists and the customers. That could come off as "B/S" (pun intended - reference the business name); if you've ever been to a hair salon or barber shop that feels uptight or alternately like a hair mill, however, you can readily discern the difference here. Half of it is about execution - they know their art and are laser-focused on making you look your best. The flip side of the coin is about creating a comfortable, light experience that makes this the place you want to visit to catch up with old friends, if that's your desire. Collectively, that's why a visit to Haedt's is unique and, for the most part, not easily replicated by any salon in the area.

Synopsis: Lenka is a hair stylist who deserves to be in her own category. Passion literally runs…read morethrough her fingertips and sometimes I wonder if she's working with magic. Lenka has 2 doctorates. One in hair and the other in personality. Every time I leave her chair, I feel like either a centerfold for a playboy mag or a model fresh off a Pantene commercial. May 2016: If you're looking to have the BEST haircut, color, or treatment... LENKA is your girl! I think everyone has made the mistake of trusting the wrong people with their hair and end up regretting it. Before walking into L/S I had a outgrown ombré, split ends and in need of some follicle TLC. Lenka gave me that and so much more! She brought my limp, frizzy and dull hair to life. I literally went from having dull hair to healthy vivacious commercial hair. I asked her what she suggested for my hair as I have a 2.5/3 sets of hair on top of my head! We decided on taking 3 inches off, lightening the weight of my bangs, coloring roots, and a hair blowout. I felt a little nervous about cutting so much off but knew it was worth it. I never felt at ease and comfortable in a salon. Lenka is attentive to your needs and wants... Is friendly and really makes you feel like you've known her for ages. She won me over with her technique, personality and her perfectionism! I feel absolutely beautiful every time I leave the salon and what more can you ask from a stylist ? Where - ever I go, people ask how beautiful my hair looks and I always give credit to Lenka. Every woman wants to leave a salon feeling refreshed and the epitome of a Pantene commercial... That is exactly how I feel every time I get up from Lenka's chair. I plan to come to see Lenka for a very very long time. October 2016: Long overdue and certainly needed. Scheduled my appointment @ 230 and left around 530 or so. Lenka always puts in the work and it shows. I had some severe outgrown roots that were in need of a touchup. I have pitch black/deep dark brown roots and she was able to lighten them without over-drying my roots. Take a look @ the pictures and see for yourself! The girl is everything. I recommend both Lenka and her stylist (next to her chair)... finished me up with a blowout and I must say, she is great. Seems to me like this salon has some talented and polished stylists ! Def try anyone out. You won't regret it!
