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!

Extremely disappointing and completely unprofessional. I've only been to this salon three times,…read moreand all three times I've had my appointment canceled on the same day, each time with the same excuse. I wait months to get an appointment, plan my schedule around it, and then end up having it canceled at the last minute. Once is understandable--things happen. But having this happen three times in a row, every single time I've booked, is unacceptable. At this point, it's not an isolated inconvenience; it's a pattern that shows a complete lack of respect for clients' time. I've given this salon multiple chances, but I will not be returning. There are plenty of other salons that can provide a more reliable and professional experience.

She matched everything seamlessly, and my hair looks fresh, vibrant, and completely natural. She also gave me a beautiful blowout. Beyond her talent, Susan is genuinely warm, personable, and so much fun to talk with. She made the entire experience feel relaxing and enjoyable, and it honestly felt like catching up with a friend while being pampered. I would highly encourage getting a coffee walking around Larkspur and treat yourself to a blowout before dinner. :) If you're looking for a stylist who is exceptionally skilled, attentive, and creates a wonderful experience from start to finish, I highly recommend Susan at Magnolia Ave. Salon.

I arrived with an absolute emergency of a mess, a cut off all your hair, how did I get here, MESS. Major chemical/product damage, it was not viable. I was fully resigned to a short bob for a complete restart, but she was able to use her skill to come up with what she called a "custom haircut" and that's exactly what it was. Where the texture was once straw/sandpaper, is now silk. I cannot recommend Susan enough! If she can make sunshine come out of THIS experience, I can only imagine what she is capable of working with other clients. It was very kind of all the ladies in the salon to come and give their recommendations as well, I really felt like everyone came together and saved what they could of my hair! It feels amazing today and I am so incredibly grateful. Thank you Susan, you are a gem and I will recommend you to all those who are looking for an exceptional hair artist. I'll see you next time!!

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!

As a busy working mom I only get in every 6 months, and her work still looks incredible at the 6-month mark. That's artistry. But what really sets Mollie apart is how she treats people.

I can honestly talk on and on about how she is truly the most amazing and talented person ever, a true angel and my favorite person ever. I wanted to do something fun, creative, wild, and different with my hair, and Gale was pivotal in the gameplan. She has such an insane grasp of color knowledge and hair knowledge, I am just always amazed at her ability to look at my hair and know exactly how and what we can do to make it work. I'm admittedly lazy and bad at making appointments (she obviously knows this by now lol), so she ensured that my crazy hair color journey will have some room for hair growth and not have such a jarring/awkward phase. I owe her my life! Lastly, I did want to add that I love the Sproos salon as a whole too. The space is super comfortable, and they really make great use of the small space. Everyone is friendly, and I love listening to the conversations all the hair stylists have with their clients when I'm waiting. Gale is such a wonderful addition to the crew, and I am so grateful for both Sproos Salon and Gale for all my confidence!
