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!“

“Tanya has been cutting my hair for 3+ years and I can’t imagine going to anyone else. I don’t usually have a vision going into my next cut and usually depend on Tanya to point me in the right direction - she is a pro!“

“I’ve been seeing Stassi for a while now and every experience is just a joy! She’s so kind and fun and talented - I leave feeling powerful and sexy and groovy every time. The salon space is welcoming, too. Come by!“

“I got the most amazing haircut from Raul today. I’m obsessed! ? Raul took time to listen to what I was looking for, assess my hair, and come up with a plan we both felt good about. And the results blew me away! He even gave me a ton of great hair care and styling tips. Raul is a master and a lovely person. Such a fabulous experience!“

“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.“

“Been coming to Kichun for a few years now for hair perms. He's helped me pull off many different styles (wavy, curly) and different hair lengths (long, medium). Worth the price if you're looking for a professional-grade Korean hair perm.“

“I love my short haircut!! May is kind, detail oriented, highly attentive, and one of the most patient hairstylists I’ve ever met. She asked me what I wanted and changed the style according to my needs. Down to earth salon establishment, high quality, and reasonably priced. No wonder she’s been here for 23 years. Highly recommended! ?⭐️“

“My hair is taken care of by a lovely guy here; he has over 15 years of experience, and when I tell him what hair color I like, he can do it right away.“

“Andrea has been cutting my hair at Little Sparrow for the past 5 years and I’m so glad I found her! I have a lot of hair, wavy and on the thicker side, and she does a great job taming my frizz and cutting layers that work well both when I straighten my hair or leave it natural. The whole salon has a great friendly vibe, very cute and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Got my Brazilian blowout here and it was amazing, a much better experience than I’d had in the past. Hair was so much easier to maintain after.

Update: got my hair done by Vanessa while Marlon was out of town and it turned out great!“

“My hair was in a bad state and Daniela was able to schedule an appointment with me quickly. I was warmly greeted by “Lu,” her adorable dog. Daniela gave me give me a great haircut that helped get rid of a lot of the damage I had done over the pandemic to my hair, and took time to explain what she was doing & why throughout the appointment. She is warm and loving - I will definitely be back! Thank you Daniela.“

“Yuzi was great! I asked for some layers and face framing & I love the result. She was very kind, efficient, and the salon is very cute! 10/10 would recommend“

“I asked for a modern mod cut and he did a perfect job at replicating the reference pics. The shampoo service was very nice as well.“

“This salon is such a beautiful, bright space with lots of plants and a great atmosphere. Jaime G is my go-to for everything from cuts and color, to routine maintenance. He is consistently kind, attentive, and thoughtful in his approach. I always feel well taken care of in his chair. I highly recommend booking with him.“

“Ana is a very skilled hairstylist. My hair was damaged by a dye that someone else’s put in my hair and she recover it. She is like a doctor for my hair. Besides giving me the best hair cut and color, every time I have been in her saloon I leave inspired by our conversations. Ana’s appointment is transforming inside out?“

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

“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.“

“This was one of the longest lasting appointments I've ever had-- in a great way! Linda was very meticulous with her cutting and layering of my hair. She triple checked every single angle to make sure everything was perfectly blended. I had originally asked for longer layers, but due to my hair being very thick and me growing out short layers, she suggested going for shorter layers to make it blend more nicely. I appreciate that she didn't just give me what I wanted, but that she advocated for me and what would look good.

The salon was very clean and modern; I felt comfortable the entire time I was there. Even though I live 3ish hours away, I can definitely see myself coming back for another haircut. Price was on the lower end of average for SF, $95 for haircut only. Highly recommend!“

“deja got me right and has every time. recommend them for anyone with wavy hair. place is also very queer accepting but cmon, it’s in the castro :p“

“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.“

“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!“

“Addi gave my kiddo an amazing haircut! They went from long to short and Addi took the time to check in at each stage so my 9-year-old was involved in the whole process. We’ll be back.“

“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.“

“Love my new haircut and highlights! ✨ The cut is fresh and flattering, and the color is beautifully blended and natural-looking. Great experience, amazing attention to detail, and I left feeling so happy with my hair. Highly recommend!“

“Dana did an amazing job with my haircut and styling. Love the ambiance at Salon Nuna & how quickly I can get in & out. Highly recommend!“
