A New Salon for Kids in Marin: Purple Monkey Hair in Tiburon
Getting the little ones' hair cut can often be a trying experience, so a special salon dedicated to kids is always great to find. Southern Marin now has Purple Monkey Hair, a kids' salon located in the Boardwalk Shopping Center in Tiburon.
Opened by Marin mom Megan Marietti Heller, Purple Monkey Hair offers haircuts for kids (and the whole family, for that matter) using high quality natural hair care products. The salon is equipped to keep everyone entertained, with infant toys and even iPads loaded with movies and apps. Watch Frozen while getting your hair styled like one of the characters from the movie! There's even a custom shampoo table designed for relaxation—you can watch movies or photos on the screen above you while you get your hair washed.
Kids' haircuts cost $30 and include a shampoo, cut, blow-dry, style, and even extras like braids, sparkles, or colored gel! Each haircut includes an organic lollipop or other small prize and a photo. Other services, including adults' haircuts, teen cuts, and swimmers' detoxifying treatments are offered as well. Purple Monkey Hair is an official sponsor of the non-profit Locks of Love (which provides hairpieces for children with long-term medical hair loss), and offers a free haircut with a hair donation of at least 10 inches.
Purple Monkey Hair also has a partnership with the popular Jack and Jill's Play Place in San Rafael: show your receipt from Purple Monkey Hair at Jack and Jill's or vice versa and get 10% off the price of drop-in play or a haircut!
Purple Monkey Hair is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. It's also open on the first and third Sundays of the month from 10 am to 5 pm where Nigel the Barber offers cuts for "Dads & Dudes". Upcoming events include a visit from the princesses of Once Upon a Song, who will be on hand for photo ops, meet-and-greets, glitter tattoos, and hair sparkles. They'll even be serving up some princess cake!
The salon is located in the courtyard of the Boardwalk Shopping Center at 1550 Tiburon Boulevard. For more information, or to book an appointment, call (415) 789-KIDS (5437). You can also visit them online at www.purplemonkeyhair.com or at their Facebook page.
