Amazing. Both michelle and Pam worked magic. They listened and delivered. I am seriously picky and they beyond delivered! So happy. Booked appointments thru end of year. Plus they're genuinely good people! Highly recommend. (I'm a first time client) read more

Been seeing Heather for many years, big fan of hers, I trust my hair with no one else!

Heather is wonder! I have curly hair and Heather is the first person who knows how to handle it and make it look it's best. I have followed heather from Di Pietro Todd and the workshop is so much more comfortable and less hectic. I highly recommend Heather. read more

I moved to San Francisco a few years back and needed someone who could tackle my very thick, long, dark, processed and frizzy Persian hair AND make it all look natural. That was my one ask: make me blond and make it natural. After my first consult with Maya she said NO...def def not but what she did was change my life forever. She made me the most beautiful shade of caramel I've ever seen. Not only did my hair look incredible but I felt like the best version of myself. What Maya delivers to her clients is not just hair color but a heart of gold. She's someone who truly listens and cares about her clients and isn't afraid to say no. If you're a busy professional like myself and have to schedule and reschedule and get tips via text, then you'll love Maya. She's always available to her clients making life in Silicon Valley so much easier. I have been incredibly lucky to have found Maya (who came highly recommended from my fabulous stylist in San Diego) and I would suggest her to anyone who wants that "natural" gorgeous shiny hair. read more

I liked the cut after Michelle worked her magic. It was the first time I have been to the salon and had Michelle cut my hair so she spent a long time listening to me about my hair and feeling it herself. read more

Are you still wasting your time going into the city or to one of the "get them in, get them out" overrated places in Marin? If so, you need to call Workshop. Maya, the goddess of color, spends time with you to really understand what you need, guaranteeing that you will end up happy whether you are looking for a beachy look or some Mission radical do. The best part? She has an unmatched ability to see and execute color combined with an amazing old soul who truly cares. I had been everywhere in search of the blonde that I think I was born with. I found out with Maya a Workshop. Oh yeah, did I mention how cool and calm her salon is too? read more

If you are currently getting your hair cut or colored anywhere else, I apologize. You clearly do not know what you are missing. It's okay. We all make mistakes. How were you to know a damn near existential experience was just down the road? The good news? You can change. You can make an appointment with Maya and Michelle, then you'll know what true badassery (TOTALLY should be a word), is. And, strange as it sounds, it rubs off. You feel so damn fine walking out, it soaks in. It connects with the part of you that already knew you were totally rad. So get there. Trust me. It's the right decision. read more

Heather! I have been getting my hair cut by Heather for years now and when she decided to make the move to Workshop, well of course I followed her. I have observed over the years that Heather has clients of all kinds- super curly hair, to super straight and fine (that's me!), to grey, etc. and she is equally talented in all types. On top of it, she has the most fun personality and I always enjoying chatting with her-- Heather has a joie de vive that is infectious. Highly recommend! read more

I moved to the Bay Area and set out to find the best possible colorist and stylist around. With a recommended from a trusted friend, I found Maya and Michelle. They are true artists, both skilled in their crafts beyond their average peers. Did you know a hair cut could get BETTER as the months go past? Has your hair color stopped traffic? I'm so impressed by their work and dedication to making you look phenomenal. The space is clean, and simple. There's not a billion blow driers buzzing, so you can actually have a conversation if you choose. And you're treated REALLLY well by them, because you're their only client there! read more

Workshop is a gem of a spot, not only for the simple mid-century vibe of the space but the insane talent of Maya and Michelle is not to be matched. I've been EVERYWHERE (I've not been loyal in terms of my hair salon because i love changing my hair and trying new things, including colorists and stylists), UNTIL NOW! I have referred people, I've gotten tons of compliments, I feel more comfortable doing my own hair, and I TRUST these ladies...Maybe I've wised up, but when something is working, don't mess with it! The experience that you have at Workshop is really all about one-on-one service, where you get honest input and an effortless set of hands moving around until Voila! you leave feeling 100% prettier and more put-together: stylish, healthy hair can be yours, no matter what you come in with!! Love these gals!! read more

Michelle gives the BEST haircut I've ever had. Period. I look forward to the connection I feel with Michelle, my espresso, the music and the thoughtfully decorated space every visit. Then I am able to enjoy the fruits of her labor (and the plethora of compliments my hair receives) for all the time in between appts :) July'13: I'm back to update my review and add that I started seeing Maya for color earlier this year and I'd like to include an extra five stars for her! They are a 'dream team' and I have never enjoyed such a wonderful (and talented!) salon experience before. read more

I bounced around to different hairstylists and colorists when I moved to the Bay Area in 2004. All the "best of" lists kept sending me to people that just weren't living up the hype. Then a friend of mine referred me to Michelle in 2007, and seven years later, I have never looked back. Right away, Michelle had a vision for my hair that was beyond what I could have envisioned for myself. I went to her as a (bad) brunette with (bad) mid-length hair and now I'm a foxy, long-haired blonde! And yes, it's true, I HAVE had more fun! I have so much trust in her that in seven years I have never once told her what to do. I just tell her, "You're the expert! Make me gorgeous!", and she DOES! It's such a relief to know you're in TRULY capable hands and you can just relax and enjoy the experience. Then last year, Michelle introduced me to the salon's colorist Maya. Prior to that, I was going to a great woman for color that Michelle had referred me to, but I was ready to shake things up a bit. I was struggling with whether I should try to go darker and maybe do the ombre thing. But after having a very lengthy consultation with (the very patient) Maya, we both realized that I just wasn't ready to let go of the blonde! She kept the "Va-va-voom" in my hair while giving me a little more depth and dimension. Exactly what I needed. The best part about getting to go to the salon is that over these seven years, Michelle, and now Maya, have become dear friends. It's been such a blessing to get to follow their lives and welcome them into mine. I relish my time in the salon and can't wait until my next appointment. It is truly, TRULY a unique and very special place. If you aren't going, you are MISSING OUT! read more

Heather Fultz at Workshop has given me the best haircut that I have ever had and I say this with sincere honesty. People have stopped me to ask where I get my haircut. Plus the fact the Heather is such an amazing and kind person and fun to chat with during the haircut always helps:) read more

WOW WOW WOW. I had tried for months to try Michelle after reading the YELP reviews. I was skeptical she'd live up to the hype since I've gone to many hair salons where the stylist gets great reviews and the haircut is. . . "meh." She asked me a lot of questions about how I style my hair (I don't, mostly air dry, rather ever blow dry) and noticed how my hair is naturally wavy. She asked what I was looking for and I told her that I almost always put my hair up because I rarely ever "style" it and so it otherwise looks blah and not great when it's down. She took her time to cut it - she has a mathematically trained mind and approaches hair cutting with that same level of precision - you can really tell. I now have a hair cut for the first time that I can just shower and go - and literally my college GFs who I saw recently asked me if I had it styled with extensions. They couldn't believe how well it worked with my face (I have a very round asian face). Her skills in cutting to frame your face the right way are phenomenal. The only downside is she is so popular, it can be tough to get an appointment! read more

Alrighty ladies of all hair colors, cuts, and textures--you NEED to invest in yourself and go to Maya and Michelle @ Workshop! They are a tag team times a thousand! The biggest things I look for in developing loyalty toward a stylist or colorist is attention to detail (which normally proportional to time commitment), good vibes, and follow through! Although she can tackle any type of color, I think Maya was sent from up above to handle blondes. The universe just draws us to her because she can bring depth, texture, brightness, sheen, warmth, and vibrance to blondes like I've never seen. She will support you in your choices, but be honest when something might not be a right fit for your hair. Bottom line: you're in good hands. Michelle takes precision to the next level. I asked her to wack off 10 inches of my hair less than a year ago and she turned a lifeless mane into a sexy, sassy, shut the "F%&!" up haircut! She's clear, thorough, and honest. For those of you who need someone to steer the styling "ship" and tell you like it is, she's your gal... and amazing style to boot! Finally, I have to talk about follow-through. It's hard to not stay connected with Maya and Michelle; they are constantly learning, implementing, and teaching new techniques that are on the cutting edge of hair. In all honesty, I made a move to Los Angeles from northern California this past July and would STILL go back! I have no idea where these two found each other, but Mill Valley has a dynamic duo of talent that you can only find here at Workshop. Ladies and Gents, it's worth the wait (yes, they're that good). Finding a hair stylist is like finding the perfect pair of jeans--once you find your brand, you never go back. read more

I fly from Seattle to have my hair cut by Michelle and colored by Maya. It's worth every penny! They are both the very best at what they do... read more

Maya and Michelle are genuine artists that have technically mastered their respective crafts. Ultimately, this is what matters the most, and what you will find at Workshop. Beyond that, they are also lovely, interesting women and passionate business owners who care about the small details from atmosphere to products to beverages. Maya: Maya consistently creates a vibrant deep color that works with my skin tone and never seems over processed. I recently went through some drastic changes in my skin and she made sure that my hair worked with the changes and remained natural and fitting. She is like an impressionist that can mix and paint colors creatively to produce a cohesive look. As you know, color can take a while, and luckily Maya is lovely to talk to. She is completely down to earth and I always look forward to chatting with her about all things light, heavy or philosophical. That said, she also can read when I'm having a day where I need to sink into a magazine and will gladly oblige. Her assistant Monique styles my hair beautifully every time. Michelle: This woman can cut hair. She is so meticulous with her cut and layers that everything just falls right. There is something architectural in her approach, and her result is technically spot-on and fits me perfectly. She has also given me great advice and detailed instructions on how to style my hair AFTER I leave the salon. Weeks and months after my cut, I do nothing and my hair looks great. I put in some effort and my hair looks fantastic. Michelle has tons of energy and is fun to talk to. Atmosphere: If you get color you are going to be sitting in the salon somewhat often and for long periods of time. So it matters that the salon is filled with what I can only call a creative but soothing energy. The décor is an interesting mix of modern and vintage style that has an overall grounding effect. Magazines: Great selection for whatever your mood is looking for. This is always my first test of any salon (or doctor's office). Coffee: I dream of Workshop cappuccinos Music: This is another detail that you think doesn't matter but really stands out when you spend nearly two hours in the chair each time. Maya was in music once upon a time so the selection is eclectic and interesting from 70s hits to current indie rock. Parking: Ample. I've never had an issue. They are located before the hustle and bustle of 'deep' MV Product: High quality and effective. Appointments: You need to be able to plan ahead, but it is well worth it for their expertise. I communicate with them via text and they are both quite responsive. Me: I'm in my early 40s with greying thick dark hair that is long and somewhere between wavy and curly. I've been coloring my hair since 1998. This is my first yelp review because I am passionate about what these two women have built. Overall, Maya and Michelle are easily the most talented colorist and stylist I've worked with, and their salon is the best experience I've had in all my years of cut and color. read more

I can't think of a better place to trust my luxurious lox with than Workshop! Maya and Michelle are a dynamic duo that will obsess about your hair right along with you. I know this from experience with them. They will be upfront and honest (even if it means less money in their pocket). The salon is simple, elegant and relaxing in Mill Valley. I much prefer this than going to a large, noisy salon where no one really cares if you are happy or not. Don't be surprised if you receive a text from one of them as a follow-up to make sure you are pleased! Maya tries to get inside *your* mind to find out what you like and what you don't like. Michelle is meticulous with her cuts. I have never experienced the typical "drama" you get with salons at Workshop. I've tried to leave with wet hair (easier for them, faster for me), but no - Maya MUST see what it looks like to check her work (this is a compliment)! Seriously impressed. read more

I totally lucked into finding Maya & Michelle. I moved to Mill Valley last summer and I made my appointment like decades in advance because I was getting married on NYE and I wanted to go on my honeymoon with some bangin' hair. Maya punched the fun button and my hair looked amazing. And I think we're long lost siblings from a mountain commune. I love their products, I love the intimacy and attention in the salon, and Michelle has magic scissors. My haircut is gorgeous. My limp and boring hair is now completely bouncy and beautiful and I just love it. I'm a lifer. read more

Warning, once you've been here and experienced the Workshop difference, you're not going to be able to step foot into a "regular" hair/color salon again. Ever. Why? Because there is no drama here, no crazy receptionist with phones ringing off the hook, no cacophony of battling hair dryers, yelling stylists or cell phones. This is, simply put: professional, attentive and top notch service. You will have to plan ahead like a master calendar wizard, but just like other luxury reservation, your wait will be rewarded. It's not just the espresso, fizzy water, vinyl playing in the background and Mike & Ikes in a bowl...it's the women that make this place a regular stop for color and cut. Maya and Michelle will be with you and help guide you to your hair happiness. Call ahead...you won't regret it! read more

I'll start by mentioning that this write-up is LONG overdue, seeing as how Maya saved my life with a pretty tricky color correction about six months ago. Partied up the last 15 years of my life as a bleach blonde (we're talking white blonde) and decided to finally switch it up to a natural brunette. My colorist at the time made a rookie mistake and ended up turning my hair gray. Seriously, gray. Like, walking out of a fire with ashes in my hair gray. Wore a hat for a week, made a zillion phone calls, cried twice, missed several social engagements, and finally stumbled upon Maya in Mill Valley. Here's why I liked her. 1. She called me back promptly. (How many salons actually give you the time of day?) 2. She was aware I was leaving for London within the next few days, and since she was booked, gave me a referral to a hair guru in London who I could see while on vacation. (Thankfully she worked her schedule around and was able to fit me in right before my trip). 3. She performed a straight up miracle on my hair. This colorist is no joke- she's L'Oreal trained, worked in Paris, she knows her stuff. I made sure I followed her work on Instagram and Facebook before taking the plunge, and I'd recommend that to anyone else who's curious, too. Fast forward to today: My hair is healthier, shinier and is colored flawlessly. Even more so, I've found someone I actually LIKE chatting with for the hour- she's a hip chick! read more

Michelle and Maya are hands down the best I've ever had! I found them using Yelp last year, and it was like I stumbled upon magic. They're salon is warm and beautiful and more importantly you are never disappointed with their work. Worth every minute waiting for and every dollar spent (and it may be a lot of dollars) to get an appointment with them! read more

I am not a salon type. Don't like the smell, can't stand the drama, hate the feeling of being "processed." Workshop is the anti-salon where Michelle and Maya have created the perfect atmosphere to work their magic. No crowds, no ringing telephones, no drama, no noisy hair dryer hoods, no pervasive smell of bleach. Just great styling and amazing color skills, awesome music, and a relaxed vibe. Each client gets their undivided attention and leaves looking and feeling fab. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

I started coming here almost two years ago, not realizing that cut & color were done by two separate people--something I thought was way too extravagant for me. Extravagant maybe, but absolutely worth it. Admittedly I originally came for the colorist (who's since moved elsewhere; for details, see my review for hendrix, a color salon), but Michelle was a fabulous added bonus. She really takes time to get to know you, understand what you want to do, offers suggestions if you're not sure what you want to do, & won't let you do anything dumb. Watching her work is fascinating; she works with precision, knows exactly what she's doing (ever watch the person cutting your hair in the mirror make faces as if s/he is trying to figure out what to do? none of that here), & is fun to talk with to boot. After years of using a flat iron & not getting my hair cut AT ALL for almost four years (the flat-iron frying was doing all the "cutting" after a while), my hair is healthy & actually growing. I have total confidence in Michelle's skill & experience, & trust her judgment every time I go in. Sitting in her chair is a very welcome experience & I'm so glad to have found her! I've never received as many compliments on my hair as I have since I've been working with Michelle. The salon is great. Don't go looking for a sign out front--there isn't one (drove past this place several times before actually finding it), so just look for the little red doors. It's a fun funky vibe inside, very comfortable & down to earth. There aren't a zillion hair dryers running & phones ringing off the hook, but don't take it to mean there's a lack of clientele. Plan ahead when making an appointment & don't leave before making your next one. Michelle will be able to tell you exactly when you should return in order to maintain your style properly. If you're looking for a new hair expert, go see Michelle--I can't recommend her more highly! read more

Walked into Workshop with keratin-treated, flat-ironed, bleach-blond breaking hair and walked out with natural looking color and naturally curly beautiful hair. I was so tired of trying to force my hair into being something it's not. Maya is able to make my gray and my color work together so I don't feel like I have to get my roots done every 4 weeks. Michelle has given me THE BEST CUT I've ever had. I have really, really curly hair and have felt like a poodle most of my life, but my cut now is amazing! The vibe in the shop is simple and comfortable. M&M worked as a team on my hair consulting me together and collaborating as the work got done. I got follow-up calls and texts from them asking how my hair was doing and if I was happy. Amazing service, amazing talent, amazing ladies. read more

I have been a client of both Michelle and Maya for several years now. I am so thrilled they have finally joined forces and opened Workshop together. First of all, the space itself is like going to your cool Aunt's house to hang out for the afternoon. Very comfy, very unpretentious, very welcoming (gotta love the candy jar!). I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes before my appointment, ever. Because only Michelle and Maya work in this space, it is very intimate and quiet. No phones ringing off the hook, no people running back and forth, just calm peacefulness and your stylists' undivided attention. Now, on to their hair skills. I tried several different salons and stylists when I first moved to Marin. My hair suffered through all of it. By the time I got to Maya, I had fuzzy, unhealthy, dry, over processed, ugly hair. She patiently took me step by step into a hair color that not only looked natural, but also had beautiful shine and integrity. Never one to sit with a color for too long, Maya indulges my whims after explaining all the different choices I have, so I know exactly what I'm getting into. She is a chemist of color, a true color nerd. You want her card in your back pocket, trust me! Michelle is no different (easy to see why these two work together!!). How she managed to get my hair to look as full and healthy as it does now, is nothing short of a miracle. I thought I would have to cut my long locks off in order to get back to strong, voluptuous hair, but shockingly, NO Michelle can work her magic (and I seriously mean MAGIC) without resorting to extreme measures. She makes me feel like my hair and happiness is her utmost priority and I trust her to listen to me and what I want. Truth is, at this point, I just let her do what she wants because I know it will be nothing short of amazing. Am I gushing? Well, it is most deserved. read more

Review of the Elite Level Stylist and Salon: Read the Other Reviews: Go ahead and read the other reviews for detailed descriptions of Workshop Salon's marvelous mid-century interior design (including period pieces) and unique client service centered, comfort focused ambiance. Admit You Want to Look Great: Let's face it, before Workshop, if you wanted to get a great (maybe even brilliant) haircut /color, you might figure out how to find it (probably at 2 different salons), but you'd wait a year for the appointment, wait hours for the actual service, and fill way too many teeny-tiny tip envelopes for orange-haired assistants. Michelle, Hair Architect and master of Hair-Math: At Workshop Salon, guess what? Michelle and Maya are consistently brilliant at cut and color. Michelle has an uncanny artist's eye, easily determining your best look. After that, it's all in the math as she becomes your personal hair-architect, building your look to perfection. Chemistry becomes Art: Maya's instinct for determining and applying your best-ever-color is only equaled by the impressive fact that she actually knows the chemistry and science behind what she's doing. I don't think I've ever had a colorist who knew read a periodic table! I kid you not, but Maya actually told me the real scientific reason for not using shampoo for a few days after color! And because your hair color is all about chemistry, Maya has no rival. Here is the Best Part: It's easy to make a young person with lush hair look great, but I'm 60 years old with grey hair that needs color every 3.5 weeks . I don't want to waste time styling my hair or avoiding getting it mussed. After Maya and Michelle finished, I had it all and more. My only regret: These girls are gonna be famous and busier than they are now, and I wish I could have them all to myself! read more

I used to think it was RIDICULOUS that people would go to one person for hair color, and ANOTHER person for cut. Until I had a horrific experience when trying a new stylist elsewhere. I found Maya in desperation and she somehow fixed my blonde hair in ONE sitting. It was truly magic and now I can't imagine having my blonde hair colored by anyone else. I literally won't let anyone else color my hair. ever. again. I also started getting my hair cut by Michelle a month or so after my first appointment with Maya. I can honestly tell you that every time I sit in Michelle's chair I am never afraid of what i'm going to look like after she's done! My hair is in a pretty bad state after having two kids less than two years apart - add to that - it's also very thin AND fine and has a bunch a regrowth that hasn't caught up to the rest of my length just yet. Every time I see Michelle she does something a little different to help graduate my regrowth and I end up with a slightly new look that looks fantastic. These ladies are a true gem and I consider myself lucky to be on their roster ;) read more

Workshop is an amazing little gem of a place that really stands out. It's a stark comparison to the sterile bitchy salon vibe you get at some other high-end Marin salons. The whole experience from the dynamic duo of Maya and Michelle, to the place itself is real, authentic and comfortable. They are both amazingly talented in their craft as well as being wonderful humans. A place you can't wait to go to get deep and look amazing. read more

Maya does color; Michelle cuts. They are both A-MAZING. With them, you get high quality salon hair in a relaxed, friendly and fun atmosphere. Added bonus...when was the last time someone checked in to make sure you were happy with your hair the next day? Seriously, these ladies go out of their way to treat their clients well and the effusive praise in these reviews (and the filtered ones -- what's up with that, Yelp?) is well deserved. read more

Maya and Michelle are the goddesses of good hair! Maya is a genius when it comes to color and Michelle is a master crafts-woman when it comes to cutting. And vice versa! The atmosphere is friendly and genuine. I feel so lucky to have connected with these amazingly great women and to have my hair taken care of at Workshop Salon! read more

Maya and Michelle are true artists without ever exuding a bit of pretension! They both honestly care about you and your hair. They think long term about the care and direction that you need/want and work with you to achieve it without ever compromising the health of your hair. The salon was beautifully designed by Michelle, it's super relaxing and they have a killer vinyl collection! And they make sure to completely style your hair before you walk out the door. I always leave there feeling better than when I came in! Their follow up after your appointment is also greatly appreciated! I feel very lucky to have found them when I moved to Marin and was on the hunt for new stylists. This type of professionalism and salon experience is not easy to find. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Maya Webb! She is an exceptionally talented Colorist, as well as an all-around wonderful person. I have been going to Maya for over two years. I first started seeing her when my hair was turned red by another Colorist, who tried, unsuccessfully, three separate times to correct the mistake and get my hair back to a brownish blonde. Maya was not only able to fix my hair, but when she was done, the color looked the best it has ever looked. I have referred several friends to her and they have all been equally thrilled with her work. I highly recommend Maya! You will not be disappointed! read more

First off I must say that his review is very overdue. Maya saved my hair about 18 months ago after teenage me gave myself a horrible at home box dye job that needed to be fixed ASAP. Maya managed to fix my horrific hair in one sitting. And as I'm still a teenager, I constantly want to go from blonde to brown and back. Maya really does care about her clients hair and has kept my hair healthy the entire time between my transitions. Maya also is very down to earth and a complete joy to talk to while waiting for that color to do its job. Maya is a true artist and a complete master at her craft. Couldn't be happier with my fantastic colorist! read more

I love reading all the great reviews about this place.Could someone please post some prices for highlights and color-- I would love to know what to expect before making an appointment.Thanks! read more
