I called this week for a last minute "please save my hair before I cut it myself" appointment. I'd had 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. read more

Tina was amazing!! The salon has good vibes and loads of pretty plants, would recommend!!

Erica. Ask for Erica. 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!!! read more

TINA IS AN AMAZING COLORIST!!! I went in wanting my brassy hair ash, lighter, but with depth! First visit with her and she nailed it. I have been getting constant compliments. I am thrilled. read more

I had my hair done by Erica today who formerly worked at L Pardis! She was so organized and thoughtful and informed me that she was changing salon locations. I have only seen her a few times now and I feel like every time I get my hair done it is always beautiful and she listens to my needs. She is top notch and honestly no matter what salon she is at she has always communicated so amazingly with me over price, location and appointment booking. She always meets my needs ! If you need a great stylist go to Erica! I am lucky to have friends that referred me to her because my hair would be at a loss without her ! L Pardis her old salon was also amazing! It felt very homey and I loved the vibe! I'm very happy with my experience at both salons ! read more

My wife has been a long time client of Angela Hakala. Angela has always done an amazing job with my wife's hair. I'd say the most memorable time would be a few years ago. Angela did my wife's hair for our wedding. My wife is a naturally beautiful woman. I'm not talking a little bit pretty. But she is truly a gorgeous woman. But Angela has some SERIOUS talent because in the ten years I've known my wife I've never seen her done up as beautiful as the night of our wedding! My wife wore her hair down with the most amazing curls I've ever seen! I don't know how Angela did it, but these curls lasted ALL day long in the hot Sonoma sun in late August, and continued to hold strong well into the night! I did not know my wife could look anymore beautiful, but Angela most certainly made that happen! I don't have any hair, but based off what she has done with my wife's hair... I'd highly recommend her!!! read more

Shannon Debin is the best curly hair stylist I have ever been to. I live in San Francisco, but getting my hair cut with Shannon is worth the trip. read more

I had an overall good experience here but not exemplary. I went shortly before the new shutdown, in November. Ive been very strict about isolating during covid except to come here to get my hair cut; it was so long it was giving me headaches and driving me crazy. - From a covid safety standpoint, I felt they did okay. They obviously put in effort to distance the chairs and sanitize, but it's a big and busy salon so there's only so much you can do! - My stylist was friendly, and I loved the treat of someone else caring for me, washing my hair etc. - My haircut itself was just okay. It was reminiscent of the cuts I used to get in college at my $30 berkeley salon. Gets the job done but doesn't stand out. This cut was $100. For the price, I didn't feel it was anything special. read more

Don't go to Tina!!! I went to Tina when my stylist of 4 years Laura was booked for a while. My 4 star review is for the overall service I've received so I don't want the salon average to go down because of one stylist, Laura has been great and seems people love the other stylists. Tina, however, did the opposite of what I asked and I'm going to be paying to correct it and hating my hair for 2-3 years until it grows out. What I asked for, in very clear language: 30% less highlights than I currently had, lower maintenance situation with just enough highlights to blend with some minor grays, closer to my natural hair color. I shared that as I had gotten older, my hair is more fragile and I need less coloring, she agreed thats it's a thing as we get older. I even said I'd prefer to err on the side of darker, I could always add more light later. She knew it was too light when she took it out. But it's not just that it got too light, I had double the amount of hair highlighted, versus the 30% less that I requested. I did reach out to her to correct, she did but left the new lowlight color on for 10 min and it washed out after the 1st wash 3 days later. $275 for color only, worse job I've ever had done, most expensive, and when I texted her that it washed out after 1 wash she didn't reply, so unprofessional and doesn't stand by her work. I'll have to shorten my interval for coloring to correct this due to the harsh line for the next 2 years, so in addition to screwing up my hair for years, it'll cost more and take more time out of my schedule. read more

I just left this salon and I LOVE my hair. I called and was greeted by Laura, made a same day appointment, and was paired with Jacklyn who did an organic hair color and trim on me. Jacklyn was friendly, sweet, and made sure I got my hair trimmed the way I wanted it. This salon was also beautiful, probably the biggest I've ever been in. Very inviting environment, nice decor, and clean bathrooms. I think I found my new favorite hair salon! read more

Stephanie was my instant Savior since I needed a cut toute suite! She knew what she was doing & was fine with a few hair style changes that needed updating. She was great I would recommend her. Laura is the owner & found me an opening on the same day. That is service! They just expanded to do more blow-ours, but check first. read more

Wouldn't even return my phone call or text message to schedule an appointment. I was referred to this salon by one of their longtime customers, my coworker, and even she was shocked at the lack of service I received. I spend a lot of money on my hair when I get it cut and colored and really wanted to go somewhere professional and obviously a place that can't even return a TEXT message is not one of those places. I had called and texted a stylist named Kelly on August 5th of this year and almost two months later....still nothing. So extremely rude. Also: funny that after every negative review there is a fabulous review the next day! I will update my review when someone has contacted me. We'll see. read more

Haley Lucero is PHENOMENAL. I have been getting my hair highlighted for the past 10 years by different stylists, and no one has ever made my hair look half as good as Haley did. I got a partial blonde highlight and hair cut, and Haley knocked it out of the park. Some hair stylists would just throw in a dozen foils and call it a day for a partial highlight, but Haley went the whole nine yards with countless foils and gave me the most beautiful multi-dimensional blonde highlights I've ever seen. Haley listened to what I wanted, and delivered exactly what I envisioned and more! Not to mention she made me feel comfortable right away--sometimes I get antsy sitting in a chair for a few hours, but I felt right at home and could have hung out even longer. The salon itself is a delight as well. Very open and airy, not crowded, great vibes all around. I can't wait for my next appointment! read more

Brie saved my hair from an A-line gone terribly wrong years ago. I let it grow long and then came back to a super short and spunky A-line. She did a great job! Pictures show the first cut and then an altered version for my trim 8 weeks later. I prefer the long edge in the front, between the two. She great and knows hair! read more

Let me start off by saying that I have yet to experience the hair salon, but their new esthetician, Hayley Nielsen is AMAZING. I saw her posts on a local group on Facebook and thought I'd give her a try. I've always wanted to be the person that had a facial done once a month, but never found the right person/place...until now. Hayley is a true professional. She knows what she is talking about and how to really take care of your skin. I'm always so relaxed while I'm there and afterwards. I'm pretty sure I've fallen asleep a couple of times. We chat about our lives, businesses, etc. Every time I go, she always asks me how things are going. YOU MUST GO EXPERIENCE HER!! You won't regret it. read more

This is the second time I've tried to call them to book an appt and no return call. Not very professional. The stylist I was looking to meet did not have her own number or ext. on the website so I had to call the general number. I won't be trying them again. read more

Loved this salon and the blowout was great but way too pricey. It was 85 for a blowout. 35 dollars more than what I usually pay.

Haley Lucero is the BEST. She did a great job, great color, trimming and thinning, she gave me exactly what I was asking for, she was kind, quick and professional. 10 thumbs up for that girl. She is wonderful! Will defiantly be returning to see her again! Defiantly worth the drive from Rohnert Park! read more

I was saddened to hear my favorite stylist Justina was moving to another salon, but you better believe I will be following her to her new salon! She has been coloring my hair since March 2019, and has always done a consistent and amazing job! 4 stars only because they lost an amazing stylist. read more

I must recommend Aimee Garcia and give her the highest possible rating. SHE IS SKILLED. I have been to many stylists in Marin County over the last 15 years but Aimee is hands down THE best. Her professionalism, style and expertise in color and design hits the nail on the head. She connects. She is conscientious, engaging and takes extremely good care of her clients. I always walk out of the salon feeling confident and sexy and receive complements on my hair constantly. Aimee has a great eye, an impeccable sense of style, and provides fast and efficient work with beautiful results. Do yourself a favor, and visit her for your next appointment. L Paradis Salon is gorgeous and the team of stylists are very pleasant and extremely accommodating upon arrival. read more

I love this place as it is a good location and have a great hair stylist here. Stephanie helped me discover my perfect color balance in my hair and really listened to what I wanted. She is always willing to go above and beyond for me. I moved recently but have continued going back as I really value her. There is also easy parking out front and right in downtown Novato. read more

I really look forward to my hair appointments with Aimee. She is easy to get in touch with, works around my schedule, and is ready to start working on my hair when I step into the salon. She has cut, colored, styled, and done a few Keratin treatments on my hair, and I, along with friends and family, have LOVED the way it turned out each time. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk with. I feel so lucky to have found Aimee in Novato after moving here from out of the area almost a year ago. The salon itself is beautiful and relaxing. All the stylists seem friendly and relaxed, and the clientele that I encountered there have been the same. It is a great environment, and I really feel like I'm treating myself to something special when I go there, rather than just checking a task off of my list of things to do. read more

If you're looking for a solid haircut and vibrant color, then JUSTINA NUNES is your girl! I've been getting my hair cut and colored for decades. Her ideas with color options that complement my skin tone, as well as a fresh hairstyle that would frame my face were impressive. Thanks to Justina, my hair is looking FABULOUS! An unrelated bonus, she adores dogs and animals in need. Justina is now my go-to stylist and I highly recommend booking an appointment with her. read more

Marianne is my favorite esthetician to ever work on my skin!! I have followed her around the last few years and I won't go to anyone else. I see great results after every treatment. We have done facials, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion to help with my acne prone skin and scaring. I always feel soo taken care of and understood when it comes to my skin concerns. She is the best! read more

Kelly has been beautifying my hair for over a year and I cannot imagine what shape my hair would be in if I hadn't found her. I cannot believe I wasted time going to anyone else. My hair was unhealthy, dry and the color... well, it was awful. By my first visit, my hair had already shown huge improvement and now that its been over a year it just keeps getting better and better. People stop me everywhere I go and say "I have to know who does your hair!" Kelly is a true artist in what she does, and when you leave L Paradis, you feel like you've just gone to the best beauty doctor in the business. She is sweet, understanding and listens to exactly what YOU want. Many stylists talk you out of doing what you want, not Kelly, your wish is her command. Thank you for giving me gorgeous locks! L Paradis Salon is beautiful, the décor and building is so stylish and comfortable. Laura has done wonders with this salon, and I really never want to go anywhere else! read more

Kelly gave me the gift of beautiful long extensions about a year ago now. She picked the perfect color and she taught me how to maintain and keep them looking great. They are so natural looking that everyone thinks I'm a real mermaid ;) I recently moved out of the area but I will always come back to Kelly, I only trust her because she is so kind hearted and best at what she does! read more

I like Angela Rose so much that I followed her from Mill Valley to Novato-- a drive for me but well worth it for the cut and color she gives me. Her haircut is perfectly shaped and the color tint looks so natural. We met when she did my daughter's wedding hair after a botched try with a different stylist and Angela gave her a beautiful updo that looked natural and stayed in place all night. Then I started going to Angela Rose and couldn't be more pleased; several friends of mine are now going to her too based on my recommendation and love her as well. In addition to being a great stylist, Angela is a delight to spend time with. You couldn't miss by making an appointment as well. read more

I can not begin to explain how AMAZING Brie is. I have had my hair done by her about 5 times now and every single time I go to work after having my hair dyed and styled I get the most compliments. Brie is honest (exactly what I have been looking for in a stylist); she will tell you the truth about the colors/styles and will not try to up-charge you or do something to your hair that she does not think will look good. She is a true wizard with color and can mix a bajillion colors together to get you EXACTLY the same shade as the photo you bring in. I can go on for hours but most important to know- go to a Brie and you will never regret it. read more

Attn: Shop Owner - I don't know how well any of the ladies do hair. The 1 star is for your shop's unprofessional service before I could even get my foot in the door. I left a message with the shop to schedule a partial highlight. They did not return my call for 2 days so I called again. As I was leaving another message, someone picked up the phone and said that I was the last one to call back as she had returned all the other messages, but she forgot to call me back. So, I made the appointment with Susan. Four days prior to my appointment, I had to cancel due to work. I left 2 messages on Susan's personal cell phone, and she has not returned my calls. I also left 2 messages on the shop voicemail. Neither have returned my calls. I was trying to be courteous by calling several times so that they they have enough time to fill my spot. However, since they were not professional in returning my 4 calls, I will not be rescheduling an appointment at this shop. I see there's are a few other customers that have commented on this issue. I know I will be telling my friends of your shop's unprofessional service. read more

Refused to do my hair, told me that I should go back to my other salon. I understand that they may not feel comfortable doing new techniques, however I felt belittled as I was there due to two hair dressers talking to me as if I was 5 years old while explaining to me they could not do my hair. Although I did not have a good experience here, that does not mean you can't-- I'm seeing a lot of positive reviews on here. It may have been the time restraint that we had on my appointment, but I felt as if I was in a frantic environment not suitable to get my hair done in. Once again, I'm sure the ladies here are nice people and talented, however my appointment ended before it even began. read more

I never write reviews but today I feel the urge to do so. I had the worst experience at this place. I searched and investigated many salons to find the perfect one. I booked my appointment with Angela Hakala weeks ago and the day of my appointment, she asked me if I could wait almost 40 minutes because she started with another client of hers who is "very special" and could not say no. I find this very unprofessional. Not just that but she tells me that she would not be able to do as she promised because of timing. Moments later I decide to cancel and she does not even apologize or try to stop me from leaving. I am very upset and I have never been treated the way she treated me. I was going to be a new client but apparently that does not matter. I informed the manager and I hope she takes my feedback into consideration. read more

I've been meaning to do this for awhile, but with COVID restrictions on salons I waited...but if you have long hair, Brie Zunino is your girl! She knows how to cut it so it feels thick, silky, healthy, and precisely and neatly cleaned up without being chopped to pieces, and losing precious inches. I always hated getting a haircut from stylists who were scissors-happy so when I left, half my hair had been chopped off and over-blown and I looked like a soccer Mom (apologies to soccer Moms, but that's not my look!) Brie is also a great colorist, whether hiding the gray roots or adding some spark with highlights, the outcome is subtle and glamorous! So happy we have this kind of talent in Novato! No need to go to the City for a top notch stylist! read more

Giving MARIANNE TEN STAR FOR HER FACIALS!!! :) :) I have been going to Aesthetician Marianne Marquez recently for my facials, & eyebrow shaping. She is AWESOME! She recently moved from her location in Sebastopol (near my house) to Novato (L Paradis Salon) and I drive 45 minutes now to go see her because she is totally worth it. I started getting facials in my teens, growing up in Southern California my mom would frequently take me for Erno Laszlo facials in Beverly Hills (spoiled!)! So now that I've tasted the honey I can't go just any where for a facial...... I am super, super picky!! Marianne does it all (Microderm, high frequency, steam, extractions, massage) and she does so in a very skillful manner using only the BEST products! If you get the European Facial you will just melt. She gives great skin care advice and is really knowledgable and active in the industry. My skin always looks great afterward and I go make-up free with confidence. She is the best at shaping my brows (whenever I go to someone else I just end up kicking myself)! She really takes her time and has an artistic eye. Also, the salon is very cute, quiet, relaxing and tastefully decorated. Parking is easy! Highly recommend!!! I read more

Aimee is amazing! She does an incredible job on both my haircuts and highlights. When I started going to Aimee, I had had a terrible experience with my former hairstylist. My hair was over-processed, damaged, and breaking off in large chunks. Aimee was able to salvage as much of my length as possible while removing much of the damaged hair. She gave me a cute haircut, and made my hair much healthier. At subsequent appointments, Aimee expertly cut and highlighted my hair. I waited a decent number of months before returning to Aimee, and during that time, my highlights grew out leaving a practically no line of demarcation. I was very impressed with how naturally and attractively my highlights grew out. I highly recommend Aimee. My hair is now healthy and long thanks to her expertise. You will not be disappointed. read more

To be fair, the owner called me and apologized. She commented that a lot of her stylists don't seem to care. Ya, i got that.
