4 reviews for Scott of Sausalito
Love Scott!
He is the only hairstylist I've used that actually knows what 'to the roots' means when getting highlights. For the first time in years, I walked out of the salon with blond to scalp, not an unsightly brown ring at my roots.
I also asked for pink highlights weaved throughout the blond, and he did a FANTASTIC job. This is a request that is easy to over-due, but the placing and shade is perfect.
His eyebrow waxing actually pleases my husband, and I swear my husband is the pickiest man I know when it comes to a woman's eyebrows.
His prices are half what I was paying in the city, with twice the care and service ($125 for a cut and 2/3 highlights, $15 for eyebrows).
To top it off, his chai tea was delicious, and he has interesting magazines to read while waiting. Both very important indeed. ;)
I'm moving out of the immediate area, but I plan on making the trip back into Sausalito every time I need my hair done. Scott is def. worth the appointment.
I have been going to Scott since a couple of my high school girlfriends told me about him. I love the salon and the vibe it gives off: Buddha and a cup of tea. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else anymore. My highlights are my favorite. The blond is just perfect with my natural color. Every now and then I treat myself to a pedicure with Whitney. It is a great experience all the way around.
The best haircut and color in the entire bay area!!!! He really takes his time to make you look great and listens to what you want. He is really nice and sociable, unlike some places. I would definetly recommend him. His salon is lovely inside and he even has tea for his customers!
Scott's is a hair salon right on Bridgeway in Sausalito. The first time I went there after moving to southern Marin, I went on the recommendation of a friend of a friend.
He did a fairly good job of cut & color, but like many hair stylists he hadn't quite got the good customer service thing down. It's not that they are disagreeable, the main problem is that they don't listen to what you want and they believe they know better what will look good on you and just do it. Well, they are probably right, but if I want my hair blue and bobbed, then that is what I want and what I am paying for. Scott was one of those nice guys who just nodded and continued talking to someone else and then just did his thing with my hair. I looked ok when he finished, but not as I wanted. I'm a "shake my head and let it dry" kind of girl - don't want to spend 20 minutes, 2 mirrors and a dryer to get it done, so it has to be cut well to keep from looking like the scarecrow from the Wizard of OZ . . . even so I do look a little disheveled most of the time.
Well, I gave him about a 5 on a scale of 10 when he finished. Enough to give him a second chance, besides I didn't have any back-ups, since I was new to town. I made another appointment 5 or 6 weeks out on a Saturday. Well, the morning of the appointment came and I woke up with a horrendous migraine headache. No way could I even get out of bed, let alone drive 10 miles. So I called to cancel. Didn't want to just not show up. Figured he would be real busy and he could slip someone else in that spot whom he had to turn away. Also I wanted to reschedule. When I told him I was very ill and wanted to cancel and reschedule, he interrupted me and said I better make my next appointment somewhere else, because I could never return to his shop and he hung up on me.
Whoa! What do you mean? I can't get sick? Was he having a bad hair day? A hangover? Now any of you who knows me knows that I was not rude or impolite - not in my nature, I was just sick. Needless to say, I have NEVER returned to this shop, nor have I ever recommended it. And I have never told my friend or her friend what happened. I just quietly slipped away to nicer folks. It's been a while, maybe he's mellowed out since then, but I'm not going to find out . . . I can't guarantee that I'll never get sick again. My advice: Enter at your own risk.
