Makeup in San Rafael

“I had a beautiful hair lightening/ balayage/cut done with Kelly. She was very attentive and did such a great job with my hair. She took time to hear my thoughts and examine my hair to make sure we were going for the same thing. The result was a natural well blended blonde accent completed with a beautiful flowy hairstyle that was exactly what i was looking for!! Molly and Kelly worked as a team at time and i really enjoyed the entire experience. Also important to note - they use all natural non toxic color and hair care so no ammonia smell whatsoever and no more of that dry hair feel. The place is very special and just has a lovely artistic bohemian vibe that made me feel at home and cared for. I truly recommend you go and see Kelly and rest assured you would be more than satisfied with the results.“

“Sarah Hyde is amazing! She did my wedding makeup and hair (which I booked on very short notice after my trial makeup with another specialized company left me feeling matt, flat, and overdone). Sarah was calm and sweet as can be. Her taste and eye are unerring. The makeup she puts on you lasts for hours and through different looks, yet it looks fresh and youthful. I can't say enough good things about Sarah. And, she is well known and appreciated in the wedding industry, though she stays mostly local and low-key.We are lucky to have her here in Marin. She is the absolute BEST. Tasteful. Kind. Punctual. Reliable. Calm. And beautiful inside and outside herself!“

“Cece is simply amazing artist I've had. She doesn't just make you comfortable she also make sure that you are well taken care of with the high quality of lashes there is. I love how her work ethic and value is. I highly recommend taking her in as your lash and brow artist!“

“It was my first experience with this salon and it was extremely the great one. I was so happy with the service provided to me and will recommend this to everyone.“

“Toni Marion, Chris MacDonald, Sheperd Sharifi, Meleah Bates are a dream team. They are so experienced, talented, and fun, and good listeners, and intuitive. They operate on schedule and are perfectionists, yet super relaxed and flexible. They use high quality products, and colors that look natural and stunning. These are really nice people to spend the hours before a big and important event with. They'll have you looking your very best, and help you to feel comfortable and relaxed. On the day of the wedding, in the bride's SF hotel suite, we had the hair and makeup done on eight women: the bride, her mother, and six bridesmaids starting at 10am and all completed by 2:30 pm. (in addition, Toni spent some time assisting the groom with his look.) Everyone looked fabulous, and felt great about the way they looked. A couple months prior to the wedding day the bride and her mother had a trial make up and hair appointment with Toni (hair) and Chris (makeup), to get an idea of styles and makeup shades for the wedding. The Dream Team basically set the standard by which all other businesses of this type should be held. The Dream Team is located in Marin County, please see their website for pricing info, etc.:“

“I can't say enough good things about Anna! She does incredible haircuts and is always so nice and welcoming. She also makes it very easy to set up appointments with her and there's always parking out front. She's been cutting my hair for the last 10 years and I look forward to another 10!“

“Salon SOS---Stacey to the rescue!!! I find it difficult to find someone who exceeds my hair expectations and Stacey definitely does! I had just moved to Marin and was trying to find a good salon. I have naturally long dark hair that another salon missed to mark on cut and color (even when I went back to have them correct it). Devastated and nervous to try someone else I ended up having Stacey help me get a the look I wanted and couldn't be happier. I'm so glad I've found a great stylist in Marin!“

“Cannot recommend enough!!! Alexis did my brows/lash lift the other day and I'm obsessed.“

“I have searched a long time to find someone that can cut my layered, wavy hair with precision and finding Issam, the owner of Marin Essentials, was an incredible gift. Highly recommend his salon for a haircut and color.“
