Precision salon is a great place for a straightforward haircut or trim. Ladies, you won't get your hair washed, scalp massaged, and hair blow dried- it is a dry cut. But sometimes, you just need the ends trimmed and not much more! Duc and Sherry have a wonderful local business and do a great job. Prices are reasonable and they are efficient and accommodating. I am glad I found this neighborhood gem. read more

I am so pleased I tried out this salon! Tired of paying 200 dollars per hair cut in different salons and never getting what I asked for, I thought I would try Precision as so many peolple were recommending Doug.30 dollars for womens hair and I have long hair. I was worried that the haircut would be reflective of the price.The salon itself is bare bones but carried a calming earthy energy and Doug was as grounded as Buddha himself.I loved how he listens to what I wanted and checked in with me quite a bit. He have me such a well shaped and expertly cut, current hairstyle! My hair was swinging and I sashayed out of there! I highly recommend Precision!After your hair cut there is a Salvadorean restaurant half a block above that has authentic and delicious food! read more

I love this place. Such nice accommodating people in tough times trying to make rent and still be the best. I travel from east bay to show my support, and I always get excellent service. read more

Precision - Hair Salons Near Me - San Rafael, California

See all

I went in for a hair cut, first time. I have an interview coming up so I gently asked Duc to be extra attentive. He was kind, friendly and accommodating. I got home and had long hairs hanging out from under what was supposed to be a professional and sassy angled bob with lots of movement. It was also top heavy. I provided a picture. Rather than turn to yelp, I went back and gently asked if he could make my bob more angled and clean up the back, and well that backfired. I was shunned and quieted by non responsiveness to my attempts to generate appreciation, understanding and a good working relationship instead of turning to yelp immediately. The hair cut turned out well in the end, but that kind of treatment on feedback is unacceptable. read more

I got a haircut here and it was done in under five minutes and I had long thick blonde hair. I showed Duc several pictures and he didn't do anything close to any of them. My previous review was erased somehow. Where do all these fabulous reviews come from??? I wonder. He cut my hair straight across the bottom in the back like it was a flat mop. He never cut my hair from the sides he never parted my hair, he never went back to check if it was even. It looked really really bad and I had to go to another salon to get it fixed. It was too short too. I really hated it. He wet my hair and made it look okay when I was leaving but after washing and drying at home and looking in my bathroom mirror I was shocked and upset about the poor no effort, rush job. I will never come back to this dirty salon with incompetent and careless hairstylists who obviously don't care about their craft or customers. read more

I have been having Duc cut my hair for over a year. He listens to how I want my hair to look and does a great job on it. He also is a very nice man with a genuine kind personality and smile. Easy to make an appointment with and very reasonable pricing. His shop is inviting and always immaculate. I highly recommend him and his business. Five star all the way. read more

Did not follow my request. I did not want a short style, but that's what I got. I even brought a picture in as a guide.

I have been coming to Precision Salon for many years. I worked in San Rafael and always got my haircut here. I have retired now but still come here for my haircut all the way from Windsor. Duc and Sherry give excellent haircuts. read more

Great quality and price. They play good music and are very nice accommodating people. I have been going here for 10 years and always have a great experience. read more

Price was great however cut was just ok. I'd recommend this place if you're on a tight budget and need a very simple cut.

I have been going to Precision for about 7 years now. And I will never go anywhere else! The owner, Duc, is a kind and talented man who gets the job done efficiently and beautifully at a reasonable price. I can't say enough about this place. read more

A confession . . . I do not always leave a review for each haircut I receive, but I do get 5-Star service and cut each time! I can't remember how many ties I've been here since my first visit, but enjoy the service, the conversations and friendly folks in Duc and Sherry. They know my style and I just have to sit and relax. For a simple cut I love this place. You will too! read more

Duc and Sherry are great. They've cut my hair for over 5 years and always listen closely to my requests. They've recently started giving my daughters trims and are always kind and receptive to them as well. read more

Duk is the man. A good hair cut at a good price, with some nice conversation and minimal wait!

After my last haircut in 2019, I decided to let my hair grow just for the heck of it. After reaching shoulder length, & deciding I'd not want fiddle around with long hair anymore, I had it cut in August, 2023 by someone I'd been going to for many years. Obviously, not adhering to my instructions, she virtually had my hair down to ~1/4" everywhere. After it grew out, I went to another place, and with the same instructions, but had a duplicate scalping like before. Today I went to Precision, where I was attended to by Sherry. I'm bald on top, & I explained how I wanted it ~1/2 inch at the top, then tapered down to a hairline. It ended up perfect, so this is now my go-to haircut place. read more

Had a nice conversation with Duc too but most importantly he was gave me a great haircut base on my requests. I was in and out in a timely manner as well and even had a few people complimented on my new haircut. My only regret is not finding this place sooner. Highly recommended! read more

Horrible experience. I had long hair past my bottom. I was real hesitant to get my haircut just anywhere. I was looking into other hair salons but I didn't have time to make an appointment. I remember the man who worked here trimmed my hair when we were coming out if covid. He did a decent job so I made a same day appointment. It was with the woman stylist. When I got there she asked how much I wanted. I told her I wanted 3 to 4 inches and a face framing cut around face. I wasnt sure about her as I had the guy do my hair previously. She sat in a chair behind me.I wasn't sure what was going on. She never parted my hair once like every other time anyone has cut or trimmed my hair. She then brushed my hair in front of face trimmed two pieces on the very top of my bangs. That was it no trimming or parting ever. It was over so fast. The man was already sweeping up my hair it looked like alot but he left. I wasn't able to really see it. She seemed really rushed and another woman came in. I believe she squeezed me in and rushed it. I got home and almost cried. My hair was to the upper middle of myback the under part of my hair was even shorter. It looked chopped and was so uneven. Two pieces were cut at the top of my hair it was so short it looked ridiculous.It was not blended or cut at all around my face. I sent a message but never heard back. I was devastated. Its so short I can't get it fixed until it grows out. It would be up to my shoulders. My hair was past my bottom. I would not recommend going here. It was one of the worst cuts i ever had. read more

I was a walk in and I was helped immediately. I got a straight cut and it came out perfectly. I definitely recommend this place.

This was my first time visiting this salon and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. Duk was my stylist. He listened to what I wanted. Really listened. I had very challenging hair as I had regrowth coming back in so it was many different lengths. I also asked him, even though I had only scheduled a haircut, if he could fit me in for highlights and lowlights. He said it was "no problem!" HE was busy but he managed to keep me and his other customers satisfied. I cannot speak for them of course but everyone looked happy. I walked away with exactly what I had asked for and the best surprise of all was when I went to pay. That is the cheapest haircut, high and low light and blow out and style that I have had in years!!! I will be back! I recommend this salon to anyone who is tired of spending the high cost of a new hairdo without sacrificing an excellent hair style by a top stylist! read more

Excellant service and work...My wife needed a color and the work performed here was perfect and the pricing very reasonable and fair- highly recommend! read more

Duc is such a pro at his work! I was able to make an appointment the day of for a layered haircut. He was able to give me the cut that I needed in just a few minutes! He's very friendly and asks you to confirm the length before he cuts. I appreciate that because sometimes folks cut more than asked. read more

I moved to Marin during the pandemic and have been trimming my own hair. I'd heard great reviews about Precision's professional cuts and affordable pricing so I decided to schedule an appointment. I was seen by Sherry. She was so accommodating and talked me through the haircut. I had long hair( middle of my back) and wanted a big change. She cut it to the top of my shoulders and gave me layers. I decided I wanted something more drastic so she did another full cut and I absolutely love it!! It's so healthy and full of volume. I've gotten so many compliments Absolutely 100% recommend Precision! read more

Great service. Returned my call promptly for an appointment. Very nice people. I highly recommend Duc. My family said it was my best haircut! read more

Duc cut my daughter and son's hair for the first time. Sons hair was very slick, clean shaven sides, and nice fluffy full of hair on top. Made my sons face look even skinner? Daughter came home with nice bangs, and shorten elegant shiny hair. Duc is legit and does fast and accurate work. read more

I've been VERY careful during the pandemic, and I was in desperate need of good haircut. With Marin now in the red, I called Duc to see if he had any appointments available on a Saturday late afternoon. YES! I drove over in 15 minutes to find the salon empty. There was lots of room to breathe, so to speak. I kept my mask and sunglasses on while double-masked Duc cut my hair dry and I was out in about a half an hour. Wham bam and the remnants of the DIY, YouTube tutorial pandemic haircut (about 6 months ago) are GONE! Yay! My hair has style and Duc cut off a boatload of damaged ends - I'm VERY happy! I feel almost normal! Next time I think I'll get a color and cut (the warm and affable Duc gives discounts for multiple services). Precision, like most Marin businesses, needs your business! Duc's business has fallen off a lot and he wants to keep styling hair, as he has been for the last 20+ years. Support local businesses! I highly recommend a quick haircut here! ($25 for woman's cut!!) read more

Got in an appointment in the morning, got a great cut by the afternoon. They were a bit backed up when I arrived, and folks took a moment to come up to me and explain they'd be a few minutes late. Great customer service. The cut itself was wonderful. Sherry (I could be spelling that wrong, and I'm sorry if I am) was friendly and quick and talented. She took the pictures I had as reference and listened to what I wanted and combined the two into a fantastic look. Feeling great going into the new year. You can't beat the price, either. read more

As always, just got an amazing haircut from thoroughly professional Duc. Highly recommended. Highest Marks.

Duc is a very kind, listens to his customers and asks questions. He'll also tell you if he thinks you should do something different (mostly about color!!) but I trust his opinion! read more

Took my daughters to get their haircut by Duc. He is very gentle and friendly. Very happy with their haircuts! No frills salon - highly recommend!!! read more

I have been coming to Precision for about 12 years. I always get a good cut and leave happy. I often just walk in so I have had a cut by both Duc and Sherry and each take the time to make my hair look good. Did I also mention they are very reasonably priced. Remember that when you plan your tip. read more

Duc is a character driven person who is a solid hairdresser. He has a customer base from all over Marin (Tiburon, Mill Valley, etc.) I highly recommend him. read more

Five stars really isn't enough for Duc at Precision Salon. My 14 year-old daughter has an undercut and finding someone with both the barber skills for the buzz and long-hair skills for the rest was a serious challenge. Not only did Duc master it on his first attempt, but she's consistently in and out in about 20 minutes for $25! My fiance, who had been reluctant to go to Duc since he thought his preferred salon did the best job on his cut, was floored when he went in the other day and Duc did an even better job for half the price. We are so grateful for this gem of a shop (normally walk-in, though by appointment during COVID) and Duc's decades-long presence in the neighborhood. We are deeply, deeply hopeful that his business can make it through this time so we can continue to frequent Precision Salon as customers for years to come. read more

They provide excellent service and I am always happy with the result. The salon is clean and has a nice vibe.

A great price for a quality haircut. I always had to go back to San Jose to get a haircut that fit my student budget, so I'm VERY excited to have found a place that gets the job done well, andddd only $19 for men's women's or kids' haircuts. I've lived in San Rafael for 2 years now and I can't believe I didn't find this place sooner. Right on the corner of B St and 2nd St by the Safeway and Saigon Village Restaurant. Duc (the owner) is very detailed and pays attention to what kind of haircut looks best for my hair texture and face shape. Him and his associate (not wife), Sherry are both very personable and easy to talk to. I only had to wait 10min on a Monday afternoon for a walk-in. I get very scared to try new hair cut places but Duc was patient with my questions and I was VERY happy walking out with my fresh hair! This is not your blow out fancy salon type places, but if you're looking for a good haircut for a very affordable price, this is the place to go. I'm bringing my boyfriend here next time! read more

The man working there is the sweetest person ever but gave me the worst highlights I have ever seen. It was also 80 dollars. I'm sure their cuts are great but I would not recommend getting your hair colored there. read more

If you want skill, kindness, and value this is the place for you to get your hair done. It's not a shi-shi salon, it's not on the 'it' block with all the cute little boutiques. It's a really nice, good-feeling, (recently renovated) space. Duc is a skilled hair dresser, who actually listens and give you what you asked for! He gave me an entirely new cut, new high-lights and low-lights all at a reasonable price. (I feel like I've been overcharged for my hair my whole life.) Duc and Sherry have been at this location for 20 years, they have two sons, and even though this was my first time at the salon I instantly got the feeling of connectedness to the neighborhood. Folks stroll in and say 'hi' and you can tell they feel right at home, Duc and Sherry made a comfortable and welcoming space here for sure. I love, love my hair cut/color and plan on this being my salon as long as I live close by. Duc took my appointment over the phone and listened to what I wanted and explained what he could do. I loved his ideas, he didn't rush me. When I arrived he was expecting me, and listened again to my ideas for what I wanted. He understood and repeated it back - keep in mind I was changing both my color and my cut -- so it was more than just a trim. I plan on bringing my husband and my son for their haircuts here as well. I highly recommend this salon! If you are looking for your dollars to go into the cut/color and not into the tea and scalp massage (though actually Duc did offer me tea, and took his time with my wash :) then you will not be disappointed. Duc didn't do a blow out with the roller brush to make me look perfect when I left, I don't think he usually does, so ask in advance if you want to be styled. I paid $19 instead of $60 for a haircut, so I'm happy to blow it dry myself. The cut is what I'm paying for. 5 Starts - support a good local business family and get your haircut here! :) read more
