Honestly finding a good hairstylist isn't that easy.. I am…read moreso grateful to Angie for ,,,, "getting emotional.." for fixing my really bad hair cut i got last year.. I have spent an entire year waiting for my hair to get long enough to get a new cut.. I literally put pressure on her..explaining how ugly I have felt and how I really needed a better cut..I was scared..lol.. A bad haircut can be somewhat lightly traumatizing..lol Angie listened to me, took in what I wanted..After showing her some hairstyles I liked she was honest and said what we could do..I love my haircut 1000 times better than it was...Thankyou so much!

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.

This salon is so beautiful, welcoming, and perfectly reflects the charm of Larkspur. I so love this…read moretown! Susan did an incredible job on my color touch-up. 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 absolutely love the salon, love the neighborhood, and can't wait for my next appointment! Xo Stacy Oh and Patrick the receptionist is sweet and attentive :) love him!!!

I would like to thank Magnolia salon for its availability (I was able to book a same day…read moreappointment, unheard of in Marin!) and the incredibly lovely staff: a very special thank you to Susan. 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 saw that Jacqueline was offering free haircuts as an apprentice in this salon and made an…read moreappointment with her via text ($15 I think for product costs but no charge for the apprentice/stylist). Communicating with Jacqueline and scheduling the haircut was easy breezy. The salon is very cute, and I like that the space gets lots of happy sunlight. Jacqueline is very friendly with a gentle touch. I'm really sensitive and don't like it when stylists brush my hair harshly (like the mother in Like Water for Chocolate), which sometimes happens. As she is an apprentice, if you book during one of these apprentice slots, you will need to be a little more patient and a little more understanding, but I really loved my experience and cut.

After I moved to Marin I searched high and low to find a great stylist to do my highlights and…read morecuts. It's a scary prospect finding someone new but honestly, the outcome could not have been better. Denise Carvajal is hands down the best stylist I've ever had and I've been coloring my hair for decades. She specializes in blondes and is everything I was looking for: highly skilled, a great listener, empathetic and experienced. She really gets how important the outcome of your visit is for you! She's got a great problem solving approach. A previous stylist was having difficulty getting my hair to a nice bright blonde but somehow Denise figured it out also without damaging it. I have genetic alopecia so to say I'm touchy about my hair is an understatement. I feel 100% in the best hands.
