Best Hair Salons In San Francisco

“Absolutely love my haircut! Arthur really listened to what I wanted and nailed it. Super friendly, great vibe, and I left feeling amazing!“

“Habitat is the best! I've been going to Chauntae for as long as I can recall, and she always does an amazing job. And on top of the quality styling you'll get, you also get the privilege of getting your hair cut in a welcoming, hip, and vibrant space that's always a joy to visit. I think Habitat is a really special place, and when you see the staff interact with both customers and the community, its obvious that just about everyone else agrees.“

“Great haircut experience, Andrew did an incredible job. Excellent attention to detail and brought my hair vision to life. Highly recommend!“

“So impressed. Sammie fixed a horrendous cut from a very expensive Instagram loved salon, for half the price of any other salon this quality of haircut in SF or LA. She is fast and you’ll have to wait, she’s very popular. But she has 30 years of experience and takes her work very seriously and it shows. I feel like myself again, thank you Sammie!

She understood everything I expressed - from my texture (wavy), to the shape I wanted, to how deeply cut my bangs were and she nailed it. This was especially not lost on me after the previous salon did literally the opposite - ruining my texture, doing the opposite of what I asked in terms of cut, etc. I spent a lot of time with chatGPT beforehand and Pinterest to make sure I knew what to express I wanted, and she really got it. I’m so impressed and I’ve finally found my salon in California after moving here from NYC.“

“I moved to the area a few months ago and was looking for a new stylist. Gino stood out to me with his bio and previous work so I scheduled an appointment and I'm so happy I did! The salon is small but bright and welcoming and the people are equally as bright and welcoming. Gino is great at collaboration and suggesting new styles/colors to check out and is always ready to answer any product or styling questions I might have. He's also great for ideas about what to do in the area! Love this place!“

“Shoutout to Melissa, who has taken care of my haircuts since I moved to the city. She's been highly knowledgeable, friendly, and creative with the cuts she's given me over the past year, and I have never been dissatisfied. The shop is very clean. Also, the stylists and front desk employees are very friendly. It's a shame I'll need to find a new barbershop once I move out of the city, but I'm glad I could patronize this Public Barber location during my time there.“

“One of the best salon/barbers in the Bay Area that has kept me coming back for 3+ years

Hair type: Men’s hair, short, thick

Stylist: Franz Jeremy“

“Heidi was wonderful and helped explain how to best cut and style our kid’s specific hair type.“

“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.“

“Had a great experience with Linda! It's hard to find a great haircut at a fair price in the Marina. Highly recommend and I will be returning!“

“moved here about 8 months ago and honestly finding a new stylist is always such a struggle… but judea and her team at little sparrow made it sooo easy. she got exactly what i wanted, she’s super talented, fast, and always so sweet. i loved her work so much i started booking my boyfriend’s appointments with her too. 10/10 recommend!“

“Ali was wonderful. He listened to everything I wanted and delivered. I love my haircut and will be going back again!“

“I had an amazing experience at the Pirate salon! From the moment I walked in, Tanya was welcoming and professional. She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and gave me the perfect haircut. The atmosphere was relaxing, and I felt completely taken care of. I also couldn’t get enough of her adorable dog—such a cute addition to the salon! I left feeling refreshed and confident with my new look. Highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for great service and a fantastic haircut!“

“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.“

“Loved my experience and really love my cut. Daniela really listened to what I wanted and also gave me so much great information about how to care for my hair in between sessions! Really appreciate being able to use Venmo! Makes it so easy.“

“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.“

“I have used Helen Lee for years ! Started with her in New York City and now using her in SF . I have never had anyone understand exactly what I needed , the way she does . My highlights are perfection and the cut gives the layers I’ve coveted forever . She is a true technician!! If I didn’t LIVE here I’d travel here to have her do my hair . She’s fabulous . Incidentally , I had gone to her at YoYo Salon before following her to Bliss . And Bliss is a perfect name for what she has given me !!! Thank you , Helen….“

“Long Overdue Praise for My Go-To Hair Treatment Expert!

This review is honestly long overdue — I’ve been getting my keratin treatments done by Marlon for over 3 years now, and every single time, the results are impeccable. He genuinely knows what he’s doing and always uses high-quality products that deliver exactly what they promise.

I recently tried his latest formaldehyde-free keratin treatment, and I’m beyond impressed. My hair stays smooth, frizz-free, and healthy-looking even though I have an active gym routine. I wash my hair every other day — and sometimes even every day — yet the treatment still lasts me close to 5 months, which is amazing!

If you’re looking for someone who’s consistent, skilled, and genuinely cares about your hair’s health, I can’t recommend Marlon enough. Thank you for keeping my hair looking fabulous all these years!“

“Excellent experience. Great service, perfect blowout. Will return anytime I'm in the city! Dominick and Huy were fantastic.“

“Shane gave me what may be my favorite haircut ever. They took such time and care to understand what I wanted, and make sure it's what I walked out with. The cut is simple and yet so styleable, and every detail shows such care. Plus we had a great time chatting all the way through, and got great styling tips. Truly committed to their craft and to making their client shine“

“Had a wonderful experience with Raul. I came in for a haircut and have been itching to get one for over a year. I told him I want a 70’s layered cut and he delivered! I’ll definitely be returning for other services.“

“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.“

“I've been getting haircuts at Peter Pan Hair Salon for about two years now, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else in SF. The owners are genuinely sweet and friendly. I especially love the relaxing shampoo and how they take the time to make sure my haircut is exactly what I want. The results have been consistently great.“

“Super friendly and had a great cut, just show them a picture and they'll help you out. Shop is cute and there's parking on the street prior. Street is one way so park in the blocks before you get there!“
