Dawn gives the best facials! She explains whatever she puts on your face, and tells you why this is the best product for you. I appreciate all the information about the products and my skin is definitely smoother, softer, and brighter. I will make Dawn's facials a regular part of my routine.
Lisa has cut my hair for the past 20 years and I wouldn't go to anyone else. I have naturally fine, curly hair and Lisa knows just how to cut it to accentuate the curls and compliment my face. I come away singing her praises every time I get my hair cut.
As far as I can tell, Studio 861 has top notch personnel at every station. It is always super clean and welcoming to everyone. This place is a treasure!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tina F.CA, CA02Apr 19, 2023
Dawn is amazing! I went to her for a facial and eyebrow wax the other week and my skin still feels amazing. Her studio is clean and so relaxing. Can't wait to go back soon!

I just got a hydra facial from Dawn a few days ago and love the results - my skin is glowing and so smooth. Dawn took her time to explain the process, the products, and was thorough about what I should do over the next few days (sun, products, etc). The hydra facial was better than I expected, and Dawn was very professional and gentle.
Dawn has done my brows for years - the only one I trust - and she listens to what I want and my brows always look amazing everytime. So glad I tried the hydra facial - now she is stuck with me for brows and facials! (and I also get all my Image products from her - she provides great consultation and recommendations on the skincare products that work for me)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Heather H.Novato, CA997Oct 26, 2021Updated review
Dawn is the best for all your skincare and waxing needs! I've been seeing her for many many years now for my eyebrows. She reallly takes the time to do them perfectly. Her facials are also superb! And her new space is beautiful and inviting.

She gives excellent facials that myself and my teenagers have greatly enjoyed. My favorite though is her eyebrow waxes. She always takes the time to make sure they are just right. Thank you Dawn for all your years of awesome service. You are the best!!

5 stars for Dawn and Cathy! They squeezed me in at the last minute when I needed to get my nails done for a wedding. Cathy did a fabulous job on my nails. Thank you both so much!!

I walked past this salon several times and then looked at the website. I made an appointment with Bonnie honestly because she had the soonest availability! I have not been disappointed. She takes time to listen to what I want and is very careful to confirm. My hair is multicolored and gray. She made sure we ended up with what I wanted. I have had her do my hair several times now (until the recent closure again) and very happy with the results! The salon is clean and cute.

I've been a client of Cathy Marcoccio's for years! I've followed her from her previous salons. This location is my favorite because the private room she is in. She keeps it very clean and sanitized. I'm a hairstylist and am very picky. I appreciate her amazing attention to detail. My acrylics don't lift and always look beautiful! And her pedicures are soooo relaxing and pampering!

Nicolle recently joined studio 861 after many years at Spa de Novato. Today was my first appointment here and I loved it!! Cozy place as opposed to the giant and underused space at the Spa. Nicolle's chair is up front and it's really an awesome space! Definitely try this fabulous salon and I highly recommend Nicolle!!!

So happy to be back with Cathy Marcoccio and having her do my nails and pedicure after six months of not being able to. I have been with Cathy For over 15 years and I've always found her to be the best at what she does. Cathy made me whole again. I highly recommend her...She truly is the best and I'm so grateful that she stuck with it.

I scheduled my first hydra facial with Dawn at Studio 861 and Just loved it. The machine suction is completely comfortable and she talked me through the whole process. You can really feel and see the difference the hydra machine makes! Dawn really makes sure you're informed about all the products she is using on your skin (love the Image line), and what each one is doing.
I recently started using the Image neck lift cream and it is AMAZING! Sign me up for a lifetime supply please! And I'll be scheduling my next hydra facial with Dawn soon!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
