Best Beauty Salons In Mill Valley

“I’ve been to curly specialists and all the works, but this was the best haircut I’ve had in a decade! I did the big chop and I was nervous, but Xhoan put me at ease with her warmth and clear expertise. Can’t wait to go back ?“

“Era Salon is fantastic! I have been coming here for years and tried out a variety of services. I always come back here for the eyebrow wax, upper lip wax, and an eyelash tint. I also always request Tao, she is the owner, and very kind and consistent. All the staff there however is great and hardworking. This place is also my mom's go to spot for a manicure and pedicure. I highly recommend era salon! It can get busy so call ahead to book an appointment- they are great about answering the phone & responsiveness.“

“Can’t recommend going here enough! Amanda is the best! She made the experience overall painless and enjoyable for what waxing is. If I was staying in the area I would absolutely make this my go-to spot.“

“Polina is the best, she puts me to sleep every time with her facials. She is a master at skin care!“

“Ticelee did a wonderful job on my highlights. The color suits me and blends perfectly. She is also super friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable.“

“Jessica helped a TON with a hair crisis from another location. She saved it and made me feel comfortable all the way through. Would recommend!“

“I was recently referred to Carla Madison the owner of salon Maddison by someone who had amazing hair. I have been going to a salon nearby but was starting to feel that the prices were getting unreasonable. Not only is Carlas salon beautiful and relaxing, her cut and color blew me away. It’s really important to me to love my hair and I haven’t been this happy with my hair in as long as I can remember!! Carla’s techniques are unique and different- techniques I hadnt seen in the past even at very bougie boutique salons. Also, she uses a color brand that I had not heard of but is very specialized and it makes a big difference.

Not only all of that good stuff, but this too: after our initial consultation when I told her what I wanted- she later spent time looking at pictures and sending them to make sure we were on the same page. I haven’t had that level of professionalism and service ever - I don’t think.

If you’re considering trying her, don’t hesitate because you will be so happy!!“

“With the caveat of previous reviews and acknowledgement that this is an institution, a neighborhood gem, a social hub and haven for women with stories to tell and share, I was referred to Lea several years ago when I was looking for someone to re-perm my hair. That's right. I said "perm." I know, I know, but it's not the 80's anymore and it doesn't have to be synonymous with frizz. The trick is, few salons offer the service. I explained to her what I was looking for: a gentle wave to add body and shape to my otherwise straight Asian hair. I like being able to wash my hair, let it air dry. The perm lets me feel like I've styled it when in fact I'm incredibly lazy. She asked for enough time to buy the right green curlers for the job and we scheduled for a morning about a month later. It's a big job. My hair falls near my waist and I have a lot of it. She usually alternates between green and coral rods to provide a mix of tighter and looser curls. While I only tend to visit once a year, Lea has remembered me from year to year and she's thoughtful and sweet, always doing her best to keep me comfortable while I sit under the heater or reclining in the sink with my head heavy with curlers and neutralizer. The results are worth it: beautiful waves that last for months. (It also doesn't hurt that her prices are reasonable!)“

“Wonderful Salon. Jimmy is a pro. He is a great colorist and gives great haircuts. He's also a lot of fun.“

“Joy is a real Pro.....I've been going to her for a long time and would not go anywhere else even though I moved to Sonoma County. I have challenging hair and she always manages to create a lovely cut and color. My husband also has started going and his hair has never looked better. Joy is an artist!“

“best salon in the bay area! amazing people work there and they give me great curly haircuts, highlights, and blowouts. i also got my prom hair done here and it was gorg. i hear their waxing is good but i've never gotten it.“

“This is a review for Jackie Larkins, who did hair for my wedding this past weekend (for myself, my 6 bridesmaids, and my mom). Jackie was incredibly responsive throughout the whole planning process, and she really listened to my feedback after the trial. She was so much fun on the day, and moved efficiently but carefully through everyone, keeping our timeline on track. She gave us all updo's that complemented each other but were unique to each person, and my hair stayed perfectly in place despite crazy heat and 3 hours of intense dancing! I'm very glad I chose Jackie for my big day and would recommend her to anyone else looking for special occasion hair.“

“Short haircut but somehow covering the cowlicks on top with easy cut around the ears and back.“

“Delighted to have found Maha! She's a gracious and kind person and very talented stylist. New to town and grateful to have found her via Nextdoor reviews.“

“My hair stylist moved to the East Coast and a friend of mine recommended Linda at Sunnyside Salon. I had my 3rd haircut by her and I'm really happy with the way she cuts my hair. I have very fine, curly hair and she manages to make it look more bouncy and full-bodied. She also put High- and Low-Lights in. Looks fantastic without breaking the bank. I'm so grateful to have found a great hair artist!“

“Love this nail salon! Been coming here for a few months now since moving to the city and love it. All the ladies are great and upfront about what is possible to do for what you want! Anna is always super nice and talented, she always does my gel set great :) and made it look really cute just like the reference photo I gave! Would highly recommend this nail salon :)“

“Beautiful salon, friendly staff, and fantastic service. I can't wait to go back! Candie cut my hair and gave me exactly what I wanted.“
