I have taken my son to get his haircut here several times and I would highly recommend Authentic's. They are professional and made him feel comfortable. The shop is clean and orderly with a welcoming atmosphere. Great job Authentic's!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Bryan is legit one of the best barbers I’ve had. First time coming in and he absolutely killed it. You can tell he cares about the details and takes pride in his work. He listens to what you want, adds his touch, and leaves you looking clean without overdoing it. Good vibe, good conversation, and never felt rushed. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend. 💈🔥
Owner's response

Great taper fade haircut by Anton. I was impressed with his attention to detail, his cutting process, and the fact that I wasn't rushed out. It was a legit proper cut. The shop is super clean, and bonus that they play really good reggaeton music. The only thing to mention is that it was a bit more expensive than I expected for a barber shop (compared to others in southern/mid-Marin and Novato), and they don’t wash your hair for the price. But in the end, I was good paying the $70 and left a 20% tip on top bc it was such a good cut. 🙌
Owner's response
Thanks so much, Tim — we really appreciate the 4-star review and your generous tip. We're glad Anton gave you a proper taper fade and that you enjoyed the attention to detail, clean shop, and reggaeton vibes. Our prices reflect experienced barbership, a meticulous cut process, and upkeep of a clean space; we also offer a hair wash upon request for an additional charge. We appreciate the feedback and look forward to cutting your hair again.

I moved from Oakland back to Novato a few years ago and was still driving to San Francisco to get my haircut. I was so happy when I found Danny - a 5 minute drive from my house! Danny is so creative and great at what he does. I am now seeing him every 3 weeks or so. He always makes me look and feel great, especially when I am headed to an event or have to do marketing stuff for my business. The shop is really cool too. Great vibes and great music playing at all times. I highly recommend checking it out! Thanks, Danny!
Owner's response
Daniel, thank you so much for the glowing review and for recommending our shop. Danny will be thrilled to hear you appreciate his creativity and the care he puts into your cuts, especially before events and marketing appearances. We’re glad you enjoy the shop’s vibes and music. Looking forward to seeing you at your next appointment.

My barber of 7 years moved out of state. I’ve been looking in the Marin/Sonoma area for a new barber. Authentic’s barber shop has a modern barber shop feel to it. Flat screens, cold beverages and barber shop talk. Great atmosphere. Anton exceeded my expectations. I received a High quality Mid-Bald Fade. Being of African American decent, very few barbers know how to properly cut my hair. Anton is professional, sanitary and a pro at what he does. My search for a new barber has ceased. Thank you, Anton.
Owner's response
Thank you, Travis, for the thoughtful review. We’re thrilled Anton exceeded your expectations and that our shop’s atmosphere made you feel at home. We take pride in our team’s skill with textured hair and our clean, professional approach. We appreciate your trust and look forward to keeping you looking great at future visits.

First time ever visiting this barbershop and I entered with high expectations based on what I heard and they were all exceeded. This is easily the best haircut and shave I have ever had. I had detail work done on both my hair and beard with a straight razor and a shampoo and conditioner everything you can imagine all for an extremely reasonable price of $90. Suffice to say I made sure to tip well as was deserved. I won't be going anywhere else to get my haircuts from now on. I highly recommend whether your male or female to give this place a try. I promise you you will not regret it.
Owner's response
Thank you, Randy. We're thrilled your first visit exceeded expectations and that you enjoyed the haircut, shave, straight-razor detailing, and shampoo and conditioner, all at a great value. We truly appreciate the generous tip and your enthusiastic recommendation, and we're honored you'll be returning. We look forward to your next appointment.

I've come by twice to this shop and have had excellent service everyone. The barber Brian is excellent. He does a good cut and also has a good conversation with you if you want to be social. One thing he does is a warm towel facial along with the cut which I've never experienced but it is great. Great barber shop. Will be back again.
Owner's response
Thank you, Thomas. We appreciate you coming by twice and sharing such a positive review. We're glad Brian gave you a great cut, good conversation, and introduced you to the warm towel facial. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Absolutely awesome experience with Danny. True professional. I got the full service beard trim, razor shave, eyebrows, earwax and it was amazing. Came out looking fresh to death. Highly recommend. It was like going back in time to the 30s.
Owner's response
Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Jesse. We’re thrilled Danny gave you a true professional experience with the full service beard trim, razor shave, eyebrow shaping and ear cleaning. So glad you left feeling “fresh to death” and enjoyed that 1930s vibe. Your recommendation means a lot and we look forward to seeing you again.

We had an amazing experience at this barber shop! They did an incredible job with my son’s haircut — the style was clean, modern, and perfectly suited for him. The barber was patient, professional, and made my son feel comfortable the entire time. You can truly see the attention to detail and pride they take in their work. My son left feeling confident and happy, and his hair looks fantastic. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for quality cuts and great service! We’ll definitely be coming back! 💙✂️

This place is great! Armando is a really good barber. My haircut is perfect every time. Everyone there is so nice and really good at what they do. Bryan has also cut my hair and it was awesome as well. I’ll be going here for every haircut. The one by Lombardis is the same. Everyone is really good.
