I had to leave my longtime hairstylist in SF when I moved to Marin, and I spent years trying different stylists with good reviews. They all gave nice haircuts, but none of them understood my hair. I have naturally wavy Asian hair, thick, textured, and not the kind you can cut like fine hair. They'd flatten the heck out of my hair and cut it. My hair would look good for one day and then never look the same again. Then I found Tin after seeing a few photos of Asian girls who got their hair cut by him, and I am SO glad I did. He genuinely understands my hair type. He doesn't just give a standard cut--he tweaks the shape, layers, and texture so it works for my hair and for my everyday styling. For the first time since moving, my hair looks great the next day... and the next! He listens, gives thoughtful opinions without being pushy, and never tries to sell you products. He's easygoing, easy to talk to, and makes the whole appointment feel relaxed and enjoyable. If you have Asian hair or thicker, wavy hair, go see Tin. He gets it. And I couldn't be happier with the results. read more

I had my haircut about 1 week before my wedding and I was looking for a quick touch up. I came across Hair by Tin Thi on Yelp. I was a bit worried because Asian male hair can often be tricky to cut and mess ups show up big time if there are mistakes. I decided to give him a try and I'm so glad I did. My hair looked amazing and I actually had a bunch of compliments the week leading up to my wedding. I barely needed any hair product. He also gave me a bunch of tips on how to style my hair. Overall, worth the cost. Def a premium haircut for a very fair price. read more

I wanted to share a glowing recommendation for my hair stylist, Tin Ti. I can't say enough positive things about Tin and my experiences over the last year. If you are looking to-find a beautiful lived-in look--Tin is your guy! He is a wonderful listener but also isn't afraid to give professional advice on what will look best for your specific features. Tin is extremely professional, kind, and just a lovely person to be around. My mom and sister both see him now too, and we all couldn't be happier. We are so lucky to have him nearby! read more

Tin is an absolute magician when he cuts my hair! The way he sculpts it to accent my face and makes me feel during the entire process is exceptional. He is a true professional. read more

First time for color blending highlights, lowlights to cover gray.... Wow!!! My hair never looked so good! Tin is a magician!!! So glad I found him read more

I wanted to give a shout-out to Tin who is such a talented colorist and stylist! And with reasonable rates too. l am so happy to found him over a year ago. Tin is a one-man wonder who listens to your preferences, does a thorough and expert job on my highlights - making them look natural. I love the top-shelf products he uses too. He works hard and long days so be patient if you don't hear a response from him right away- he's busy with putting his customers first. He is often booked a couple months in advance, so plan accordingly. read more

Tin is fantastic! The hype is 100% real. I am so excited to go back for my next haircut with him! I was able to get in contact with him via text. He is extremely fast and thorough with the consultation. While I am typically unsure what to ask for beyond a trim, he inquired about layers and curtain bangs. I excitedly opted for curtain bangs and he did a fantastic job! He knows how to work with Asian hair. We had a great conversation throughout the appointment, and he really knows how to take care of clients. He located right next to Nothing Bundt Cakes. The salon is kept super clean at all times, and they're super thorough when it comes to vacuuming up hair and cleaning in between each client. If you arrive early (like me) they luckily have some comfy chairs you can sit in while you wait. He accepts payment through cash, check, or Venmo. My haircut was $95 before tip. Excited to return in a few months for my next trim! read more

Hands-down, one of the best I've been to. His talent and ability with my hair has been perfect from my very first appointment. He is professional, considerate and always up-to-date on the latest hair products color cuts, etc. I highly recommend Tin!!! The best!! read more

Tin is the absolute best!!! He's been styling my hair a few years and not only gives me a super stylish cut but has also improved the health of my hair. My hair is thicker, less frizzy and just healthier looking thanks to his recommendations and care. He's a very talented stylist, kind person, and has fair pricing. It's always a treat to get my hair done with Tin. I always leave feeling like a million bucks! Highly recommend!! read more

I recently went to Tin for a haircut for the first time. I spent a long time researching hair stylists in Marin who have experience with Asian hair. Tin is experienced and explains everything well. From what cut would look best based on your preferences and hair texture to how to best maintain your hair based on its qualities. He took his time with each step of the process, I appreciate his attention to detail. On top of his professional experience, Tin is so friendly and easy to talk to. I had an amazing experience and will definitely be back. Just a heads up, since he is so popular, he is booked about a month out. Parking: I had a 10am appointment that lined up with the fitness classes in the shopping center. Make sure you arrive with time to circle and potentially park on the other side of the lot. read more

I got my hair cut by Tin in my third trimester and let's just say.. I didn't know I could look so fabulous when I gave birth LOL! but for real, my hair still looked so good that I had to write this review. Very pleased and I'll be trying to book him for my next cut as soon as my time frees up! I think that will make me feel human again especially with all the hair shedding that's happening postpartum.... read more

I've spent a lot of $ on my hair going to fancy salons (often fine but meh) and was looking for a closer option to highlight my asian hair. Saw the amazing reviews on yelp and texted Tin and easily set up an appnt. I'm extremely picky esp re highlighting and want someone super skilled in selecting the right colors, creating dimension and Tin delivered on ALL fronts. He doesn't try to sell you, he actually suggested partial vs full Balyage and the results were stunning. He uses high quality products to protect your hair in the process (Olaplex and K18). He's so nice and down to earth as well. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. If you are asian looking for someone skilled in highlighting, 100% recommend. You will not be disappointed. read more

I discovered Tin Thi about half a year ago and I am beyond ecstatic to have done so. He has been in the business for over a decade and is with the times when it comes to styles, products, and his ability to meet you with exactly what you're looking for in a hairstyle. I am also impressed with his ability to juggle his clients without compromising customer service. I've recently gone in for a cut, highlights touch-up, and root melt and love everything about his work. This is my second time back so far and he has a lifetime customer in me. read more

I'd heard good things and was looking forward to a cut by Tin Thi but was told he was not accepting new clients. It's very disappointing, I'd been looking for awhile and thought I'd found the right place. It would have helped if the not currently accepting new clientele info was posted so thought I'd let others know. read more

I went to Tin for the first time today based on others reviews and had such a wonderful experience. He asked just the right questions to help me describe what I was looking for in a haircut. He transformed my hair that hadn't had a good cut in a long time into exactly what I was hoping for. I truly love it. Not only is he extremely skilled, but he is incredibly personable and inviting. I can't wait to go back to him for my next cut. I highly recommend Tin! read more

My second really good haircut by Tin Thi. He's very knowledgeable, keeps up on the latest techniques and trends, and is just a really talented and nice person. Enjoyable time spent in his chair! read more

From start to finish, Tin was overall very nice, easy going & professional. We started off with a consultation where I informed him what I wanted for my haircut. He also suggested what haircut would look best for my face shape, which was very helpful. He made small talk throughout the whole session so it wasn't boring or awkward. We ended up deciding on a trim, layers & curtain bangs. He washed my hair prior & curled it afterwards. It came out great, I highly recommend! read more

I really like the hair cut Tin cut for me. I've always been afraid to get my hair cut short, because I'm afraid of the maintenance (I'm lazy); but；Tin did a really nice job! I just had to blow dry my hair (no need to style or anything), and it looks thick and voluminous!!! Definitely going back when my hair gets longer. I live in Oakland but driving here to get a good haircut is worth it so far. read more

I was fortunate to get an appointment with Tin after reading his rave reviews and seeing that his availability is limited. The men's scissor cut he gave me was excellent especially considering my hair can be difficult. Tin was very nice, extremely communicative, and definitely showed that he cares a lot about his work/clients. I will definitely go back and send others his way too. Thanks, Tin! read more

Tin is in the rockstar hall of fame for hair. I met him at his previous location and he did my hair exactly how I liked it. Every time I went back he knew exactly what I liked and my hair looked great every time. I am picky. I like my hair a certain way and he has it dialed in. What's more to say. As long as I am in the area, I will go to Tin. #tinfanclub read more

I did not get my hair cut by Tin. My fiancé did, and it looks amazing. She was specifically looking for someone who has experience cutting Asian hair, and she said Tin did an amazing job and was very friendly. I'm leaving this review because she doesn't have a Yelp account LOL. read more

Been going to Tin for over 5 years now. Always a great quick and efficient haircut. Never been disappointed so always recommend him whenever someone gives me a compliment. So glad I was able to find him in this new location. read more

I am a construction worker and I don't go to salons. I was waiting for my girlfriend to get her hair done. Tin asked me if I needed a haircut and I looked in the mirror. I said, yea, maybe I should. Tin did a very nice job. My beard was way overgrown and I didn't cut my hair for a long time. I am too old to call myself a hippie. I was just lazy. My girlfriend loves it. She said I look like a model. Maybe an old one. I think Tin is a nice guy and very funny. If Tim can make me into a model, I recommend that you try him out. He is very good! read more

I took my teenage daughter here and her cut was great! Price was (relatively!) reasonable.

Tin is an exceptionally gifted hair stylist. It's been over 3 years since my first haircut with him, and I have never been disappointed. He also happens to be a very nice person so my appointments always seem to fly by. I highly recommend Tin. read more

Tin has been just great as I transitioned to going gray and a short haircut. He always cuts it consistently and with a wonderful shape.

I've been going to Tin for years and his men's haircuts are excellent. I used to pay more at another Mill Valley salon and the stylists were nowhere near as good as Tin. And he's just a super nice, easygoing person to deal with, I can't recommend him highly enough. You won't be disappointed. read more

Fabulous color matching by Tin. He easily answered all of my coloring questions. My hair came out fabulous! Definitely would recommend you visit him when you need highlights or coloring. read more
