As always, my experience having my hair styled by wonderful Naomi, who is an artist on many levels, was perfect! Naomi tailors each hairstyle to her clients’ wants, desires, hair texture…I am speaking for my family members and friends who enjoy Naomi’s talents as well. Thank you so much, Naomi! ❤️Services: Shampoo & conditioning

Naomi has been cutting my hair for almost 7 years!! I have super thin, fine hang straight hair. I wear it usually cut in a "bob" of sorts. My hair has turned silver (naturally) and I really love the color. BUT: a good cut for this type of hair is crucial and Naomi nails it! She'll ask me "what would you like to do with your hair today?", and my answer is: "do whatever you think you need to do". I am always 100% satisfied and feel an extra layer of perky when I walk out of the door. She's truly an artist, kind, funny and we always have great conversations:) Naomi makes excellent recommendations for the exact product to use that makes my hair shine and also gives it a little lift. The product selection is excellent. Naomi knows how to do magic**

Based on my sister's recommendation I booked an appointment with Naomi at Studio 4 in Larkspur. After a polite text exchange, in which she asked me several questions about who my sister was, what I wanted done with my hair, etc, she booked my appointment. I replied quickly and letting her know I was thankful and excited about the appointment because it was for my son's fast approaching wedding. I also happily complied with her request to bring a mask, and I let her know I was vaccinated and double boosted. A day later she canceled my appointment and any possible future appointments with me, saying she was sorry to disappoint me but she decided to not take on new clients because of an old injury or something.. what?! This implies she is still working and seeing other clients.. She couldn't honor this one appointment after committing to it? I was not "disappointed" but totally annoyed at her unprofessional, off-handed treatment, and put in a really tight and stressful position that close to the wedding. Also, I was not necessarily planning on becoming an ongoing client of hers and never indicated this - also unprofessional and self-centered of her to assume this. The right thing to do would have been to honor my appointment, at which Naomi could have let me know that she is scaling back on work and not taking new clients. Although she does not seem to mind, Naomi lost my sister as a client as well. Also, when I originally called Studio 4 to book an appointment the front reception was really rushed and rude. Kaz at Hairfax came to my rescue..

I came in to Studio 4 from San Francisco to see Kwandee. I have been seeing him for a few years now. My hair is in regrowth after chemo. It is super thick and curly and I hadn't cut it at all hoping that one day I would wake up and it would be 10 inches long and I could ponytail it again. That hasn't happened (aside from in my dreams) so I needed it shaped because it wouldn't even fit under a baseball cap anymore. I looked like grandpa from the Munsters :(. Kwandee tamed that mess and gave me a cute style I could wash and go, without fussing over it. Kwandee is a genuinely kind, sweet and caring soul and I appreciate that so much in any human being I interact with :) He listened to my concerns around growing it out, wanting a long pony tail, wanting my old hair back...blah blah :) I walked out feeling beautiful and happy. He is truly a master!!! I guarantee that if you get a service from Kwandee you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Susan is amazing. She has a great eye for color. She recommends what you exactly need and matches color to personality. Very excited to have found her.

I absolutely LOVE Naomi, who is beyond talented, as experienced by my family members and friends as well. Naomi is as engaging and enjoyable as she is talented.

I love this salon! Love the products, love the vibe, but most importantly I have found my forever stylist Naomi. Naomi is an architect for the hair. She shaped my hair using a razor blade and I love my layers and the expert cut. She also is amazing at color too!!

I had been desperately seeking a hip, reasonably priced, gifted hair stylist in Marin, as I moved over the GGB in Fall 2014, but had been dragging myself back into the Tenderloin to see my trendy go-to girl - whom I adore, due to lack of success in my hunt; however, that was getting a bit old, like me. Along came Kwandee - who came highly recommended to me from a friend. I was SO excited to hear he worked in Larkspur! This review is sOOOO LONG overdue! I've since seen him @3 times, and each time, I have left with a look I love, and one that lasts ---aka grows out well! THAT, I feel, is a sign of a truly skilled stylist. Most recently, Kwandee helped me by cutting off my hair so I could donate it to Children with Hair Loss, and semi faux hawk what remained. I find him super laid back, with that perfect balance of chatting enough to create a comfortable relationship, yet not overly chatty, leaving me time to zone out (part of the joy I find in getting my hair done), while he remains focused on his creation, which I appreciate! I can relax, because I trust him with my hair--which is a lot coming from me, given I can be pretty picky and controlling about how I want it. He's professional and confident, seeking honest feedback to ensure I'm satisfied, easily handling my assertive requests to modify anything if I feel that preference. I can not recommend him enough. Truth be told, I hesitated to post a review, because I don't want him to end up so booked that I'm unable to get in; however, in living from a more abundant and grateful perspective, I want others to experience Kwandee's gift. I trust there will be time still for me to see him, when needed, as he has always made it work, despite both our very full plates! Check him out - you won't regret it!

Susan is absolutely wonderful!! I accidentally mixed up the days and she raced over to meet me at the salon anyway! I got a full highlight and it’s perfect. I would highly recommend Susan!

My dad was a barber on Polk/Broadway for 50 years so I've seen first hand what it means to maintain relationships in the barber / beauty industry. When my stylist of 20 years retired out of state, I had a hard time finding someone who I liked and trusted with my hair. My gf suggested Kwandee who she has seen for 20 odd years. What a great guy and professional stylist. The studio is easy to get to and parking is a breeze (likely because of Covid19) there was no one but myself and Kwandee there to ensure safe health precautions. Yes, we both wore masks and my temp was taken once I entered. Great experience and location! Thanks Kwandee!

I really must to give raves and praise to Naomi. I highly recommend Naomi for both haircuts and color, which can be tricky but she shines on both accounts. I am very picky when it comes to my hair, and she has won me over big time. She gave me beautiful highlights without using bleach which have stayed true for weeks. She also is a great stylist and gave my thin hair just the right cut to give it fullness and great style. I've never been happier. I am confident you will enjoy your cut or color if you go and see her.

Naomi cut my hair for the first time on 9-20-2020 when I needed to find someone new. I have wavy hair--just a bit curly but not overly so. She knew exactly what to do! And she had ideas. If you have wavy hair, you cannot do better.

I wouldn't have tried this salon if it weren't for Candace! I found her over a year ago at another salon but followed her here because she is awesome! She is matched my hair color perfectly, gave it a touch of personality with a slight tint/highlight (don't know if that's the technical term or not), and cleaned up my ends perfectly. After our first appointment years ago, I was sold. I found my girl! I always ask her a lot of questions about hair care too but she doesn't mind at all. She's got a great personality, tons of positive energy, and is great at making sure you look, and ultimately feel, your best. Highly recommend her and this spot! Re this salon, I really appreciated how much care they take for appts at this time. I was the only one in the studio and they gave me a temperature check before the appt. That level of care and caution makes me feel safe during this precarious time! She said I could share her number with ya'll so here it is: (707) 623-6227 Give her a call!

I recently moved to the area and needed a new stylist. I just happened to call Studio 4, and Susan called me back. I knew nothing about her, but I liked her voice and enthusiasm, so made an appointment. I have been to her twice now, and I can say, without hesitation, that she is fantastic at listening to what you want and doing exactly what you asked for to perfection. She also is great with color. I had messed up my color by trying to do it myself while salons were closed, and she got it back to looking great. So, I highly recommend Susan, who is friendly, fun, kind, and very much the professional.
