Purple Monkey Hair is run by its Marin-based owner, a mother who started the business to offer hair care for children that felt different from a typical salon. Its focus is young clients, from babies and toddlers up through teenagers, and it also offers women's and men's services for adults.
To find the salon, clients walk down the alleyway into the courtyard. Entertainment ranges from toys for infants to tablets preloaded with films and games. A shampoo bed designed for children lets them lie flat while a screen overhead keeps them occupied. The restroom is scaled for small children and has a changing table that is well supplied. Each service includes either an organic lollipop or a small prize.
The kids menu covers baby and toddler cuts, kids cuts for ages 3 to 12, first haircuts, girls' long hair cuts, teen haircuts, detangling, and a swimmer's detoxifying treatment that removes dulling mineral deposits. A first haircut includes a certificate, a lock of hair and a photo. Children with long or thick hair, or who need extra detangling, are suggested to book a girls' long hair cut or a teen haircut, which allows 45 minutes for a full service. The salon retails natural products, which it describes as high quality.
Kid-focused hair care in a child-friendly setting, using natural products and accommodating children's needs where parents share them.
A courtyard setting with screens and toys for children of all ages and a restroom designed for young kids.
