5 /5 Erin Guagenti: Elsie rules! When I moved to Marin, I went fumbling my way through salons and stylists. Ive got super thick, wavy hair and no one could quite figure out how to get the cut or color right (let alone both). I was getting discouraged when I happened upon James Rose Salon and Elsie Baroni has proven herself a miracle worker. Not only has she given me beautiful cuts (Ive grown my hair out for the first time ever, nearly all the way down my back, because she somehow manages to keep it big and bouncy and not too heavy on top) and her color is *truly* top notch. Check the James Rose Instagram account if you want to see her work - Ill regret when it gets even harder to get on her calendar, but would love for someone else on the same search for a stylist this talented to be spared the grizzly bumps along the way that I went through, and perch in Elsies chair instead.
