“Inca is awesome! Great personalized service and hair cuts. Convenient location in Kensington and easy online scheduling.“

“Happy and Cheerful Kellianne does the very best haircut and styling on my frizzy and curly hair. The curls as she cuts become nice waves. The texture is smooth. Kellianne is a magician with hair. She is also a great conversationalist and makes the haircut experience fun and relaxing. I recommend 6 stars.“

“Aric is hands down my favorite hair stylist. He’s a total pro especially with curly hair and if you want to be a bit edgier with your cut (and color!) he’s your guy.“

“Since moving to the city almost 5 years ago, I’ve only trusted Sam as my esthetician! She is fast, thoughtful, precise, and thorough in her waxing service. She really cares about her clients and their skin’s wellbeing, and has actually taught me a lot about skin care for the areas I get waxed with her. I can truly say that thanks to Sam, my skin has never looked better. And to top it off, she’s so fun to talk to that getting a wax with her just feels like catching up with a close girlfriend! I’ll recommend Sam and Honey to anyone who needs a wax in SF.“

“Christina is incredible - I've received tons of compliments ranging from the quality of the lashes themselves to how natural my eyes look on my no-makeup days. She has helped me look and feel my best since day 1 (when I didn't even know what to ask for) and I'm so grateful to have found her. She's especially talented and a wonderful person.

I recommend her to everyone who asks and I highly recommend her here.“

“Love Mark! He is my go to, great for young men Asian hairstyles, also does male perms extremely well. Would highly highly recommend great prices too! also funny guy haha“

“I am 60. I've been getting facials around the world since i was 16 and this was one of the best I've ever had. Srsly. A few new tools (light) and a deep exfoliation. Calming oil helped me be presentable...i was told by several (men) how good my skin looked! that never happens, ladies, and you know it ;) Felt amazing. I will definitely be back. Area is a tad sketch but doors were locked while I was in session. Top notch facial.“

“Amazing massages always! Would highly recommend - I always feel like a new person after each session.“

“After reading rave reviews about Nicole I decided to book my first ever eyelash extension and Nicole did a phenomenal job! Her studio is calm and inviting, the chair you lay on while you’re getting your lashes is so comfortable, I almost fell asleep! Nicole is a gem; she is a perfectionist at what she does and uber talented. I can’t wait to see her in a few weeks for a full! Thank you so much Nicole!! I’m loving my lashes :)“

“This is my favorite hair salon in San Francisco with a great location and high end ambiance. I received top notch service and I highly recommend Diva salon. What an incredible experience. I had a gorgeous Birthday haircut by Diva and highlights and style by TT. Wow stunning! Andrew has unremarkable ways to make me happy with this one of a kind hair salon. I felt taken care of and I can’t wait to book again. This place goes above and beyond.

Stylist: Diva for a haircut
TT for highlights and style“

“Chrystal was very attentive and asked lots of questions about my hair preferences and how I style it, etc. She did a terrific job on my cut and she was really easy to talk to during my hour with her! I am looking forward to my next appointment with her.“

“Must-Visit Salon on Polk Street!
* They have a Summer promo for nails - $50 for any nails and any design *

I got my nails done here and was incredibly impressed with how they turned out. They lasted over a month, and I’ve been getting compliments nonstop.

I’m usually very particular when it comes to Brazilian waxing, but the staff made me feel completely comfortable and handled everything with such care and professionalism. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The salon is so aesthetically decorated and they also have a mini refreshment bar (cheese ,nuts , juices - super cute ). Overall one stop shop for nails, facials , lashes and more.“

“I stopped by Yellow Orchid Massage after a long day exploring San Francisco, and I honestly didn’t expect much — but it turned out to be one of the best massage experiences I’ve had in a while. The place is tucked away on the 2nd floor, quiet and very clean. The front staff was calm and welcoming, and they didn’t try to upsell anything, which I appreciated.
I went with a 60-minute full body massage and requested medium to firm pressure. The therapist was extremely skilled — she focused on all the tension points in my back and shoulders without me even pointing them out. What impressed me the most was how present and attentive she was throughout the session — no distractions, no rushed feeling. Walked out feeling lighter, looser, and way more relaxed. Definitely a hidden gem in downtown SF“

“I found Tiana because I was in desperate need of a trim and let me tell you something. She was so nice and accommodating. I have a tender head and I didn’t feel a thing. I almost fell asleep twice in the chair. Thank you SO much for the cut and silk press. I will be back!“

“What a delight! I wasn’t sure about getting a cut at Ann’s after the mixed reviews. However I got a great cut yesterday that was great value for money. You can’t make bookings, but I only had to wait a few minutes. Ann has been in business at this address for over 30 years and is quite a character. I definitely recommend Ann’s for hair.“

“I loved my experience with Gloria! I was running a little behind, she accommodated me and was very sweet about it. The facial was amazing! She was so thorough and I left feeling so glowy. I travel all over and I can tell she really knew what she was doing. Love when I can go makeup free!“

“I'm coming long time I love hannh she do very good job ' my friend coming in hahaha ( love ❤️ ?“

“Naomi saved my hair after a traumatic balayage I got while traveling. I am very happy with how my hair turned out and I highly recommend Naomi if you need a color correction or balayage. She’s very attentive to your specific needs, and will make your hair look it’s best.“

“Really recommend this place for both eyelashes extensions and eyebrow lamination, design, and tinting.

I went for classic lash extensions, and Farideh listened to my needs (I have very fine and thin hair so I'm very conscious of doing anything that makes it look thinner), and adjusted to make sure that I got the look I was hoping for.

Great service, really recommendand I will be back ?“

“Very nice place and Pablo. We do eyebrows always come. Here’s my eyebrows best hundred percent. I really love this place is a great place. I really come to always here. It’s a good place. Thanks deep.“

“One of the best salon experiences I’ve ever had! I booked the color consultation along with the single process color appointment for my first visit and Amber was very kind and communicative with me about my desired color and we discussed my options since I had previously dyed hair. I’m very happy with the results and the entire experience was so relaxing. Highly recommend this salon!“

“My husband made an appointment with Billy, who was right on time. Hair shampoo Great haircut, neck hair trimmed. Billy was very quick, but accurate. Hubby's hair looks so handsome.“

“I’ve been seeing Darleen at Aura Beauty for years, and I can honestly say she is a true gem in the beauty world. From the moment you step into the salon, she makes you feel at ease with her warm, welcoming demeanor. She listens carefully to what I want, offers expert advice, and always tailors each session to my specific needs. Whether it's waxing or any of her other beauty services, Darleen’s skill and attention to detail are unmatched. I always leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and more confident.

What truly sets Darleen apart is her dedication to staying ahead of beauty trends and her consistent focus on quality. She uses only the best products, and it’s evident in the results I’ve seen over the years. I always feel completely at ease during every appointment, and I trust her expertise wholeheartedly. I can’t recommend Darleen enough—she’s a true professional and a wonderful person, and I’m so grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about your beauty and well-being, Darleen is the one to see!“

“You have your stylist. You want them to listen to you, to be kind and friendly and to give you a great haircut and advise you about your hair. I had a good stylist who left and I have long curly hair that I have been letting grow but I was ready for a layering and clean up. I spent about one month cycling through all the reviews and salon websites I could find in the city. Back in the day, I would call a popular salon like Di Pietro and have a conversation with the person answering the phone bc in a hood salon, they know the stylists and help you pick someone but nowadays I don't sense that most salons have the staff or ensure that someone knowledgeable is booking appts. so you are mostly on your own. For me, I found that many salons and stylists had mixed reviews or were outrageous $$$ and if the reviews are not consistently excellent why would you think to spend $$$ After some time, I found David Bui's name and salon and his reviews were all excellent and he also specialized in longer curly/wavy hair so I made an appt and I was so happy I did. I felt welcomed, he listened to me and what I wanted, he was super friendly polite professional and sincere in wanting to make me happy with my haircut. He cut away the poof and have the layers and trim I wanted. Most people want to have a go to stylist they trust and feel comfortable with which is not easy. Many salons have closed so ai think there are people looking for stylists to go to. The salon is in a really nice building, they have street parking right outside and I was able to find parking immediately. They even had some holiday snacks and libations. I left feeling happy with my cut and very comfortable and thats really important to me because I know what I want. David is delightful and did a great job. In case anyone else is out there looking for a new stylist especially if you have long or longer hair and have any kind of wave or curl. Heartfelt thanks to David!“

“10 out of 10 Miguel and staff are always nice and they are great at what they do. I recommend ?“
