DAVID JAMES. - San Rafael (CA)

5 /5 Rafey Balabanian: I moved out of California about 3 months ago now and with the benefit of some time to reflect, I realize now what I miss the most: the sunsets at Stinson Beach? The beauty of Marin? The food in SF? The amazing people of NorCal? Nah, what I miss most is getting my haircut by David Karvesales from David James Salon. And it’s not close. David is not only the most talented stylist I’ve ever had, he’s also been the most consistent. He’s cut my hair for the last seven years and I swear that every time I left his salon, I had to send him a text to let him know that he surpassed the last cut he gave me. He did it every single time. Oh, and he’s also the coolest person you’ll ever meet. Unpretentious, kind, generous and so fun to talk to. I should have never moved. One of the biggest mistakes of my life.

5 /5 Nick White: David, the attentive and skilled proprietor of this business, is a master with styling and cutting hair. With guidance or without, he will have you looking and feeling your best after a session with him. His skill set is clearly desired as booking an appointment with him sometimes takes well over a month—plan accordingly. If he isn’t available, he also employs a staff of many other skills stylists, barbers, and colorists. David, and the DAVID JAMES salons, are well worth a visit.

5 /5 Ryan Jones: The best cuts in the Bay Area!! David and his staff do an amazing job and I always leave looking fresh. David has a great eye and I always take his recommendations cause they always make me look better!

5 /5 Austin: Ive been going to David for over 10 years, and he’s the only person I trust with my hair. He truly takes the time to get to know what looks good on you, what you like, and when it’s time to shake things up. David and his team are absolutely the ones to see if you want a stylist who cares about making you look your best.

5 /5 Alec Garcia: I’ve been going to DAVID JAMES. for at least 10 years. I have never walked out of the salon feeling less than amazing. Each time David cuts my hair, I’m consistently blown away by what he can do with a simple reference picture and a short amount of time. I’d give David & his salon 5+ stars if I could. Pictures are before and afters from my most recent cut - David is truly an artist with the scissors! Great person & great salon overall!
