Best Beauty Salons In San Francisco

“I got for the first time Misty Eyebrows on 2022, since then I get a half price touch up every year. I love my eyebrows, I get many compliments. Thank you Sasa.“

“Ana is the best—truly. Do yourself a favor and book with her. I came in after a haircut I wasn’t loving and was seriously considering chopping all my hair off. Ana kept me grounded and helped me make the right call. Now my hair isn’t too short, I have zero regrets, and it looks so much better. I can even wear it without styling—something I didn’t think was possible after my last cut.

What sets Ana apart is her deep understanding of hair—how it moves, how it sits, and how to bring out its best without forcing it. On top of all that, she’s just a wonderful human being. I won’t go anywhere else.“

“Jennifer did an amazing job. Her bright and friendly personality made the sugaring and threading lessees painful. I will definitely come back soon!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love getting my hair cut by May! She is really friendly and does a great job with my short hair. This is my go-to spot for a fast and neat haircut in the Richmond neighborhood.“

“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.“

“If you are searching across the bay area for someone who can do whispy, anime lashes then look no further! I booked a hybrid lash set with bottom lashes and they turned out GORGEOUS (literally just like my reference picture). I've literally never had lash extensions before and I felt so cared for and in such good hands. These ladies are beyond talented and deserve all the love ❤️ Thank you for making me feel beautiful for my wedding day!“

“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“

“Jacky is amazing—not only a talented artist, but also a wonderful teacher. I took her courses, and she answered all of my questions thoroughly before, during, and even after the classes. She is incredibly patient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her, whether you’re looking for her services or wanting to enhance your skills and knowledge.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“Thank you so much! Such a wonderful job and my requests were handled with so much care and patience.“

“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!“

“Anthony’s hands are just magic! I came asking for a wolf cut - kinda shug cut and walked away with the biggest smile on my face ;) definitely recommend !!! Thank you“

“My eyebrows turned out perfect! I’m so happy with the results — they look amazing and better than I expected.“

“Principle is excellent but my review is specific to the wonderful Erin S.

I've been going to Erin S. for over a year now, and she has built up an incredible amount of trust with me through several haircuts and color sessions. She is extremely intuitive, always knowing exactly what I want even when I’m not sure how to articulate it. Whether it's a fresh cut or a new color, she consistently delivers results that are even better than I envisioned. Her attention to detail and ability to understand my style preferences make each visit a great experience. I highly recommend Erin S. for anyone looking for a stylist who listens, understands, and delivers every time.“

“Linh and Jon are amazing!!! I have really thick asian hair so I wanted to find a hairstylist familiar with that for my balayage. Jon is AMAZING, his balayage made me audibly gasp when I saw the results in the mirror. He was great about educating me about the realistic color I'll get from the balayage and it came out so beautifully, I still get compliments months later! Linh is equally as amazing at manicures and pedicures, her attention to detail and care shows up in every nail. I got a regular manicure and a gel manicure and both came out flawlessly. She shaped my nails so well and painted them with expertise. My nail polish lasted so long because of her hard work. They are both very friendly and love to chat. They are my go-to people now for any self care day.“

“I went in for hair extensions removal and reapplication, and Fidel was amazing throughout the whole process. He not only did a flawless job with the extensions but also treated my hair with a great mask that left it feeling so soft and healthy. To finish, he gave me a fantastic styling that I absolutely loved. Fidel is professional, attentive, and really talented—I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend him!“
