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.

5 stars for natural blonde highlights by Gale Bergman -- It took me a while to find someone who was…read moretruly great at natural-looking blonde highlights, and then I found Gale! I wanted a natural, lived-in blonde that would be low-maintenance enough for me to only come in 2-3 times a year. She totally nailed it. This photo was taken almost a year later, and I love how my color has grown out with no harsh lines. Gale is a true artist when it comes to hair. Her technique and attention to detail are on another level--something I haven't experienced with other stylists. Gale is the best! *Gale Bergman at Sproos Salon (Instagram: @beautybygale_b)

I have been a loyal client of Gale's for years now! She is the only person I trust when it comes to…read moremy hair. 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!

I came back for another haircut and I do want to start by saying that I really like my stylist. He…read morealways does a great job, and I've actually recommended him to other people because I trust his work. That being said, the front desk experience was disappointing again. This time it was the main girl who handles scheduling (last time she wasn't there and another staff member who helps with blow-drying was covering, and that experience was just as annoying). During my appointment -- while I literally had hair all over my face -- she walked up asking me to book my next appointment and pay. I had to tell her I couldn't even see because there was clearly hair covering my face. It was obvious. It just felt like she wasn't reading the room at all. Moments like that really disrupt the vibe of the appointment. It feels unprofessional and honestly gives me the ick. When someone interrupts the flow like that, it takes away from the experience and, in my opinion, probably affects people's tips too because it kills the mood right before checkout. Obviously, I'm gonna pay before I leave and schedule my next appointment. I feel like she doesn't read the room and comes at the most inconvenient time. It's kind of a buzz kill. I genuinely like my stylist and the work he does, but if this continues to happen, I might have to reconsider coming back.

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.

The vibes of the salon are also very comfortable, I really love how every stylist is friendly and engaged with their customers. Give them a try, I'm sure you'll be pleased :)

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!

He kept commenting on how sweaty I was so I finally mentioned that it was warm in there and he said oh you're going to have to stay sweaty then because I'm cold. I originally made the appointment for roots and a blowout but after he was super rough at the bowl and I asked him to please be more gentle he gave me a lecture on why he couldn't be gentle while washing my hair. I thought point I just asked him to please brush my hair so I could leave and he said I knew it as if he had pegged me for some kind of Karen lol. I'm going to leave a picture of how much hair I pulled out because of how rough he was at the bowl when I got home and blow dried and brushed my own hair. No I don't know anyone except David but my roommate says she knows Tony and will be speaking to him directly. I got home and I was shaking. It was just him and I and he was mad. He quoted me $95 for this amazing experience lol. There's more but I want this to be over. This place or at least David isn't for female clients at all. I almost forgot this man had clothes on that must've been two weeks old without being washed he stunk so bad when I got home and blow dryed my hair I could still smell it on me. So yeah I may be sweaty due to hyperemesis but at least I don't stink.
