Hair Solutions

Caren is the best hair stylist I have ever had. She listens to what you want and tries to give it to you if possible. She knows hair and can tell you what your hair can and cannot do, and what you can expect with any cut or styling. If you have thinning problems, she is an expert at styling and has equipment that deals with hair loss. I have been at the salon when people walked in and needed an immediate appointment, and Caren and her staff always try to accommodate them. In addition, Caren is constantly learning new techniques, so she is up to date on anything you may want. I cannot recommend her more highly.

Caren is a great hairstylist who listens to what her customers have to say. This seems to be unusual. I never have to worry that if I ask for an inch cut off that I’ll leave with 4 because the stylist thought it would be better.
This is a cute shop that usually has a low key relaxed atmosphere.
Caren is also an expert in dealing with hair loss and helped me rebound from such a problem. I don’t know if it would have temporary or if it was her expertise but I’m happy to have halted the problem.
Give her a try and I think you’ll be happy you did.

I walked in there today with wet hair from my shower and an hour to kill before the event I was to attend across the street. I had driven from the Berkeley area and left early to avoid the aggravation of commute traffic and spotted this shop. Thought I would treat myself to having my hair blow-​dried. Had just gotten a great cut the week before and you know how hard it is to get it to look the way it does when you walk out of the salon right after the cut.
Anyway, asked for a blow dry and, standing there with wet hair, was asked if I wanted to come in the next day. I explained my situation but it was no use. Got the feeling they didn’t like my looks — t-​shirt and jeans. It was a San Francisco Bay Trail t-​shirt and I was going to an event for the 25^th anniversary of the Bay Trail.
While I won’t go so far as to say that they were rude, they were definitely kind of snooty. If I was 17 and in high school instead of 54 and retired, I would have to say that they were the cheerleaders and I was the nerd and was treated accordingly.
There were two stylists present and one receptionist. One customer was just finished and getting up to pay. There were no other customers in the shop. Had they wanted to charge me $ 30, I probably would have gone for it just to sit and relax. It probably would have taken no more than 10 – 15 minutes to do my hair. That’s $ 120+ per hour. Guess they are really successful if they are turning that kind of business down.
I note that they take walk-​ins. Just not those of my type, I guess, whatever that is. People that can afford them? People not dressed to a certain standard? But, it is their right to refuse service to anyone.

Caren will take good care of you. I’ve tried many salons in Marin and SF, including high-​end ones, and I prefer this low-​key place. Although I no longer need Caren for my hair extension, I continue to get my hair cut and colored here.

My hair dresser of 25 years moved away from the area, and the search was on! After multiple strike outs in Marin, I lucked onto Hair Solutions a couple years ago. I currenlty use the stylist options at present, they are reasonable and work to please. The environment is very satifying, and relaxing.
No need for laser hair loss treatments at present, however if I ever did this would be the place. With no pressure to buy, Caren and Gayle have recommended some vitamins and shampoo treatments for my hair which have added body and thickness I didn’t know I was missing. Try the MD line. And more importantly, try Hair Solutions for your hair.

In Marin, there are many hair establishments to choose from, however, dealing with hair loss is a specialized niche of the business and requires an empathic, caring and low-​key atmosphere, at least for me.
Caren is great at providing information with a no nonsense and understanding approach… A rare combination!
A high powered salon in a subtle way is Hair Solutions.
If she helps grow more hair, I’ll petition Unilocal to give her a 6^th star!

Caron is simply the best at what she does: cutting, coloring and her speciality of helping women who suffer from hair loss! Simply the best!

Lovely salon, relaxing environment, tastefully decorated. I was a walk-​in but a friendly young woman at the counter seated me right away. I wasn’t sure quite what I wanted, but the stylist was happy to make suggestions, and I’m very satisfied with the result.

I was referred by a friend who actually works at the sister salon in Mill Valley, At the Top. I was in desperate need of a color touch-​up and my friend gave me the salon service as a birthday present.
I was greated with a warm «Hello!» and seated right away. Raquel, my stylist was great! I brought a magazine photo with the color I wanted her to get as close to as possible on my hair — she did it!
My experience with this salon is that it is clean, very well managed and the people are very friendly.
The salon is a small boutique-​like studio that offers a very unique service here in Marin that I hadn’t heard of but now understand how valuable Laser Hair Rejuvination is to many men and women. «The services are in response to the growing need for hair loss treatment among her clients due to chemotherapy» is what the brochure I picked up in the salon has printed on it.
The owner, Caren Miranda, is a great woman with a big heart and a clear vision for her business. She was available the day I was at the salon and explained why she started this second salon in Sausalito.

A great local and friendly place to get a great new hairstyle or just maintain the style you have. Either way, if you’re looking for a new stylist or just a visitor to beautiful Sausalito, I highly reccommed you give Caren and her crew a call!
The salon is right next door to the famous «Fred’s Café» Mmmmm!!!
