I called this week for a last minute "please save my hair before I cut it myself" appointment. I'd…read morehad a TERRIBLE cut in October and hadn't had it cut since. (yes, it was THAT BAD). 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. She got to work and SAVED my hair (and sanity) she was SO KIND (and funny). My hair looks SO MUCH BETTER and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thanks, Tina.

Erica. Ask for Erica…read more Before I go into why you should ask for Erica - she cut my hair for my 6th, yes SIXTTH donation of 12" or more to CHILDREN WITH HAIR LOSS. MY hair will once again provide a $1500 natural hair wig to a child at no cost to their family. I am happy to know my donation will remind a young child there is still kindness in the world. You can donate any length but little girls wish for long hair so I wait until I have enough to ensure they get their wish for a curtain-like princess hair wig. You can also donate cash (use your corporate dollar match). Ok back to Erica. To be fair I do not know any of the other ladies at the salon but Erica is amazing. She is really nice to chat with and I enjoyed learning more about my hair from someone with a wealth of knowledge about this really important topic. I think we already know how much I love my hair. The reason I love my hair is because of skilled, educated professionals like Erica who teach me about my hair texture and how to get it to do what I want it to do, look how I want it to look, and continue to grow the way I want it to grow. Erica is passionate about her work and it shows. I love love love my short haircut! Last year I had a lob - this year she gave me an on trend for 2023 choppy bob https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/beauty-hair/hair/a42404027/chopped-bob-haircut/ I am super confident my will grow the way I want it to grow so I can donate again next year. Erica took the time to understand my hair texture, my wash and style habits, and basically how I wanted my hair to perform. I learned so much and I got some cool tips and tricks! The salon is adorable - it's looks like a boutique with thoughtful decorative touches you eye catches while your hair is being worked on. Everyone I encountered was a friendly face. The vibe is a chill, neighborhood spot so wear your comfy clothes - prepared to have a relaxing hair appointment. Prices match what I pay in the city as did Erica's high skill level. No one cared I was masked - which I appreciated so much. Enjoy the free convenient parking right outside. You can pay all kinds of ways: Venmo, cc, cash. Personalized care, skilled service, fair pricing, great experience. I love it! Fiver for this neighborhood gem! SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES. THANK YOU!!!

Really pleased with the experience I had here. Ever since moving to N-town three years ago, I've…read morebeen making the trek back to the City to see my hairstylist. She has up and moved back to Ireland and I was at a real loss. I was in total denial so I let myself get really shaggy-looking but yesterday I'd had enough. I did a search on Yelp for stylists in Novato and boom, up came Precision 6. I knew it because it's next to my nail salon. The reviews were stellar so I decided to give it a go. I was able to get a same day appointment and met with Heidi, who gave me a GREAT haircut - as good as my lady in the City, seriously. The cost was beyond reasonable ($35) and I walked out feeling great. This is not a glossy, frou-frou high-end salon, and I dig that. If you read my posts you'll see them I'm really into down-home, old-school aesthetics (Carla's in the Sunset, for one) and I loved this place. I guess the owner is a huge 49ers fan as there are photos of the team all over the place, and best of all, they use those giant rolling hardware/shop carts to put their gear in.........great idea. Very, very pleased. Loved the very Novato-native, old school vibe. Very relieved to find a place close to home and I will be back!

The salon is bright and clean, and there's always a good vibe. The stylists all seem to genuinely be friends with each other so it's a pleasant place to spend time. I always forget to take before and after pictures so I have nothing to show you, sorry!

I was a bit disappointed with my recent blowout with Susan. I paid a fair price and read good…read morereviews online. Although I liked the end result I didn't like how I was treated. She constantly commented on how much hair I had and it just ended up making me feel bad about even coming in. The first comment she made to me was "ugh I will be here until tomorrow". The whole point of me booking the service was to have help with my thick hair for an important event. I don't get blowouts often, and visit Marin frequently, so I really wanted to try a new place. I would like to emphasize that my hair looked good, however, I felt as though the people skills were lacking. Due to this I would likely not return. I tried to contact the salon to voice some concerns and they were pretty unresponsive/ didn't seem to care.

You can tell immediately that this is a team of people who truly love what they do. Shanie and Jen, the colorists, are absolute experts. Both have years of experience, incredible attention to detail, and a deep understanding of color--what works, what lasts, and what actually looks good on you. They don't rush, they listen carefully, and they're perfectionists in the best way possible. Jenny, who cut my hair, is just as impressive. Her precision, technique, and eye for balance show how experienced she is. My haircut grew out beautifully, which says everything about the quality of her work. Beyond talent, what really sets this salon apart is the attitude of the entire team--professional, warm, and genuinely caring. You feel taken care of, not "processed." This is the kind of place you trust with your hair completely. Highly recommend if you want top-level skill, great energy, and consistent, beautiful results.
