Best Hair Salons In San Rafael

“Great salon. I’m sure the whole staff is good, but Duc is excellent. If you need a haircut, he is the man. I don’t live near here anymore so I get excited when I visit so I can get my hair cut by him.“

“Linda is fantastic! She did a walkin-in nail appointment for me the other day, they look fantastic! Her salon is well-run and she is super friendly!“

“I have been a customer of No1 Cut for over 20 years. Tina and Lori always do a great job and they are amazing, wonderful people. We need more small family owned businesses like them.“

“Wendy gives the best haircut in town!
She’s been cutting my hair for 4 years, and I honestly look forward to every appointment. I usually like to keep my hair as long as possible, so haircuts used to feel stressful. But with Wendy, it’s completely different. Her cuts are perfect from day 1, grow out beautifully, and always have that effortless, chic look. Wendy has a great eye for shape and movement. Thank you, Wendy! ?“

“Angele Marie Styling is hands down the best! If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. I’ve been going to Angele since 2022, and every time, she works her magic, leaving my hair healthier, brighter, and more beautiful than ever.

I have long, thick, dark blonde hair, and she somehow transforms it into the most natural, radiant blonde—never brassy, never dull, just effortlessly gorgeous. Whether it’s a simple trim or a full blonde refresh, she nails it every single time. And the best part? I always walk out feeling like the best version of myself.

If you’re looking for a stylist who truly knows her craft and makes you feel amazing while doing it, Angele is your girl. Book an appointment—you won’t regret it!“

“Arlyn is a wonderful person and gives great haircuts. She is relaxed and funny and all the while cutting and styling your hair with precision. I have been her client for a few years, getting my hair cut every 4 weeks, and cut has been great. I get lots of compliments.“

“I am so glad I found Salon B. It’s the kind of place you don’t just go to for great hair—you go for the feeling of total trust and calm the moment you walk in.

Amy and Bishlam are not only incredibly talented (like, I don’t even ask questions anymore—I just sit down and know I’m in good hands), they’re also kind, grounded, and welcoming in a way that makes the whole experience feel... effortless. Not pretentious, not stiff—more like hanging out in a bright, cozy living room with friends who also happen to be miracle-workers with hair.

I came in post-blonde-era, ready to return to my brunette roots (literally), and they’ve helped me transition beautifully—with care, precision, and zero stress. My hair has looked and felt better every single time, and most importantly, it’s actually healthier now.

If you’re looking for a place where you can relax, be yourself, and walk out feeling like the best version of you—Salon B is it. I’m so grateful to be in their hands.“

“Very good job, I have had my hair cut and it is highly recommended ?
Very clean place and good service!!
Great service ?“

“Just had a great experience at Hair 2000! I have thick wavy hair so sometimes layers can be tricky but they did an excellent job with my cut and layers! Friendly staff and good environment, highly recommend! ☺️“

“I’ve been seeing Stassi for 2.5 years now and she is hands down the best colorist in San Francisco. From going super blonde for my wedding, to toning things down closer to my natural shade, and now lightening things back up—she nails it every single time. Stassi really listens to what I’m going for, gives helpful feedback on inspo photos, and always makes sure I leave feeling my absolute best. On top of her talent, she’s so much fun to chat with—I genuinely look forward to every appointment. Can’t recommend her enough!“

“Great experience and Eddie was awesome. He was great with my 1yr old. It was our first haircut and he gave us a certificate, lock of hair, picture, and a baloon for only $34. He knew just what to say and how to maneuver my son turning his head during the process. Highly recommend“

“Abby gave me my dream haircut. She is one of the most talented and hard working person. She has such a inviting personality and she listen to the needs. I am so happy and satisfied with my haircut. I got compliments from my entire family and the coffee shop people I visited right after the haircut. My family is already looking forward to getting a haircut from her. I highly recommend her and especially the first timers. Your in safe, gentle and experienced hands with Abby.“

“Myong is amazing! I moved to the area and was so nervous to find a new stylist. I lucked out here. She is so talented, I get so many compliments after she does my hair. She is also fun to talk to. I highly recommend her!“

“Where do I even start! I was very nervous trying someone new especially knowing how particular I am with my hair. I had the pleasure meeting and working with Abby. She is an artist!! She listen carefully to your expectations and will do her magic. She is the most sweetest, beautiful, kind and really shows her passion in hair. I highly recommend going to see her and I can't wait to see her again! ❤️“

“I have taken my son here for his hair cuts for years and it was the best decision we ever made. Tino normally cuts my sons hair and does a great job. I highly recommend Tino's Hair studio.“

“I prefer simple short haircuts with walk-in convenience at an affordable price. For these reasons A&T Salon is the first place I try.“

“I had my hair cut by Elisa Marie at Sola Salon. I wanted a super short, layered cut. My hair is very fine and thinning. She gave me such a great style.. looks great always.. and l get so many compliments on how nice it looks on me personally! Elisa is super accommodating and kindly makes sure that l'm completely satisfied with my haircut. She is very talented and professional, and she is very sweet and fun too!!“

“For all my blonde girlies, I cannot say enough good things about Kendall at Salon Bilancio. I had been going to a different salon for years but when my prior gal told me she was going out on maternity leave, I had to find someone new. I was soooo nervous to try a new salon, but Kendall worked her blonde magic and my hair turned out better than I even thought was possible! My hair is thick and coarse and there's tons of it -- it's intimidating for most colorists. If you've been wanting to try someone new but nervous, I promise you will not be disappointed with Kendall at Salon Bilancio!“

“Elisa is great! I've been getting my hair cut and highlighted by her for years and always leave so happy with the results-she listens closely, offers great suggestions, and creates a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere where I feel comfortable and heard. Highly recommend!“

“Just moved down the street from this place. Glad I found it! Excellent buzz cut and beard trim. Very detail oriented and fair price. See you in three weeks.“

“Katy,apart from being very friendly, is the best place in San Rafael that I have found in my last 20 years. She dedicates time to the nail polisher and removes them to perfection. Nobody beats the best.“

“Nice staff easy to make appointments and had a great blowout. Just careful with pricing as it changes. Best to get price up front“

“Anyone that is particular about their hair, man or woman, goes to Brewer Phillips. I have personally been going to Ann 40 years and even though that is forever, she continually surprises me with how up to date and modern she is. Always continuing her education with new styles and the latest products she also sells in her salon. Her color and haircutting expertise is beyond compare anywhere in Marin or the bay. She is an owner/operator and has a gorgeous salon with other stylists available as well. Make an appointment because they are that booked and the cancellation list is quite long if you feel lucky. There is, in my opinion, no other salon to go to“

“A true expert with decades of experience. She is extremely proficient and understands exactly how to manage every aspect of giving a proper trim. Very pleased, and haven't had a hair stylist this on-point in over a decade. She corrected my bad haircut and did everything right. Her care and experience unmatched, and something to be truly valued. Her ratings reflect this.“

“great service friendly and clean I recommend this place to anyone I'll never go anywhere else“
