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!“

“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.“

“If you’re thinking of diving into (or already rock) short hair, please please see Chauntae. I avoided short hair expecting I couldn’t keep up with styling or maintenance. Never been the case with Chauntae’s cuts, which also grow out beautifully! She’s masterful shaping cuts to suit your hair texture & anatomy. Chauntae’s an all-around beautiful human keeping her slice of the city filled with art, community, & good vibes“

“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!“

“We brought our son (who absolutely hates haircuts in here) PREP and Daisy were absolutely amazing. This was his first no tears haircut after many failed attempts at other places. So grateful for Daisy and PREP- highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I was able to get a last minute appointment by adding myself to the waitlist, and I’m so glad it worked out! Vincent gave me an amazing blowout that held up through crazy wind and fog during my proposal 🥹 It even looked great the next day. I wish I still lived here so I could get more blowouts by him!“

“Spencer and Melina have both cut and done my hair. I have always left feeling fabulous! Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“I love Ana. Ever since I visited Barcelona 2 decades ago and admired their cool haircuts I was dreaming of a hairstylist from there, and then would you believe it I found one right here in the Mission, known for her work with the curly heads!

I’ve gone to her for over 15 years now. Short, long, medium, asymmetrical, we did it all. My better half and close friends became her loyal customers too.

She’s an artist and it shows. She really feels deeply what the right set up for your hair is and makes it happen.

So many fun and interesting conversations over the years, too. And she even saved me from a car rental scam in Mexico in the latest twist.

Bueno, she’s the best.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“From the moment I sat in Uncle John’s chair, I felt the care he puts into his work - he was patient with my preferences and explained how their organic color process would be different. My scalp didn’t itch for even a second - the color came out beautifully, and the whole salon felt calm and well managed, and amazing attention to detail. If you’ve been hesitant about hair color because of chemical sensitivities, Uncle John has figured out something special. I’m already booking my next appointment.“

“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!“

“I had a great experience! Very efficient service and I was made to feel very comfortable. He is truly a master at his craft! My hair feels very smooth and soft. I will definitely be a repeat client!“

“I had a standout service with Sage today. I have been getting my undercut done here whenever I've been in town over the past couple of years. Sage refined my shape and trimmed my curly crown and it was a restorative experience after a not so great one.“

“May was great! She listened, gave a few suggestions, and then did an excellent job! She was also able to squeeze me in and finish my highlights and long hair cut in just over 2 hours without compromising the end product. Definitely recommend!“

“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’ve been getting my haircut by cerissa for almost 5 years. my layers are always flawless, she listens to exactly what i want and my blowouts perfect. 5/5!!!“

“So glad I booked with Daniela for my first time here. I wanted to get a blowout for an awards show I was hosting and she really delivered. For more context, my hair is extremely straight, stiff, incorrigible, and in the words of Daniela, “like wire.”

But voila! She delivered with care and clean precision (and lots of hair spray — she said I was basically wearing a hat at that point). Held for the entire night as well. Second photo is what my hair looked like close to midnight. Thank you queen.“

“Beautiful, calm space and amazing service. And dog friendly! Heather is such a delightful and talented stylist. Highly recommend!“

“I had the pleasure of having Dominic as my stylist and he is simply amazing! We collaborated and came up with the perfect haircut and style! Also the products he used smells amazing! Seriously leaving so happy and looking forward to my next haircut by Dominic.“

“Ali has been cutting my hair for many years. I have loved every haircut and I have left feeling very happy.“
