Cooper Alley Salon

Rick and his team are truly magicians - brilliant designers progressing in international reputation and towards mastering their technique (not for the glory of it- folks here seem to be genuinely DEVOTED to excellence). My family and I have been loyal clients for years and every visit reminds us why. Rick- the founder- is a true master of his craft, and what makes him stand out even more is how generously he shares his knowledge with his team. I genuinely trust anyone on Rick’s team with my hair - a level of confidence I’ve never had elsewhere. What surprised me most is how this place changed my thinking: a haircut isn’t a commodity. You don’t get the same result just by describing what you want. Skill matters. And here, the skill is unmatched. Even other stylists have complimented Rick

I got my highlights done by Alex. Right from scheduling the appointment, the process was smooth! I get my highlights done very often, but this was hands down the best experience I had. The changing stations and the salon itself were super clean. Alex was very understanding about what I wanted. She knew what she was doing. After bleaching my hair, she kept checking on me every 10 mins and washed the sections of my hair, which were done, and let the other sections dry. Although the color was a little different from what I wanted (Auburn), Alex assured me it would be alright after 1 or 2 washes. Right from the beginning I felt very welcoming. I would definitely come back!

As someone who swims several hours a week, I have counted on the team at Cooper Alley for many years now to help me keep my long hair despite the chlorine/bromine and color/highlights. Thank you, Ali and Rick and the whole team at Cooper Alley! PS - love the lighting at your new location in Corte Madera Town Center 👍😁

A thank you to MIRIAM for the best haircut ever! Friends and I have been going to Miriam for our cut/color for years….we all rave about her at cooper alley and her recommendations are always right on!

To call Rick merely a designer would be like calling a master watchmaker a man who simply tells time. There's something deliberate, almost architectural, in the way Rick approaches his craft. he is truly gifted- him and his team operate at a different level, and, from the chair's standpoint it feels like they're all operating in a quiet unspoken choreography of surgical precision towards perfection. While I'm aware this review does not do any justice to Rick and his team of geniuses' talents, i can only hope this silly way of trying to describe it will translate to you a hint of what you'll get here- the least of them being an upgraded and empirical understanding of what excellent looks like.
